LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1833.

The Irish coercive Bill has occasioned, as
was to be expected, an extraordinary sensation in
Dublin. All parties seem panic-stricken by it.
" The citizens of Dublin," says the Freeman's
Journal, " meet to-morrow (yesterday) to ex-
press their feeling on this momentous and
exigent occasion. The requisition for the meet-
ing comprises the names of several gentlemen
hitherto the friends, and we might add, the
favourites, of the Irish Government." The same
journal goes on to condemn, in a strain of bitter
invective, the unparalleled severity of the measure.
" Talk of the Church and its oppressions
Talk of Toryism, its profligate expenditure, and
its rigid tyranny ! Better submit for another
century to all the abuses of the Church—better
bow for ages beneath the yoke of Tory dicta-
tors and their Cabinets, than witness a single
provision of the proposed Bill receive the sanc-
tion of Parliament ! This is strong language,
but we question whether it shoots a-head of
public feeling. The Irish have proverbially
quick and keen sensibilities, and can scarcely
fail to resent, in the strongest spirit that the law
will allow, the coercive measures now in rapid
progress. The Ziublin Morning Register indig-
nantly denies that there is the slightest necessity
for them, and adds that Lord GREY has been
misled throughout the business. But public
opinion is not only developing itself in Ireland ;
in England, also, the measure is coming in for a
fair share of opprobrium. The Northern Po-
litical Union has announced a meeting for to-
morrow, for the purpose of petitioning Parlia-
ment to modify the severe provisions of the Bill.
This, We
foresee, must be done, and to a con-
siderable extent, or they will never work aught
but grievous injury to Ireland.

Nothing is yet settled as to who is to succeed
Prince TALLEYRAND as French Ambassador
at our Court. The Prince proposes leaving in
April if a successor should be by that time ap-
pointed. lie will proceed to Paris, where he
will remain for a month or two, and from thence

to Valengay, his country seat. He talks of
wintering in Nice. M. de BARANTE is now
spoken of as likely to succeed him.

The last letters from Madrid, received by the
French Government, state that M. ZEA BER•
MUDEZ will not be able to hold his ground.
His retirement would strengthen the French in-
terest in Spain.

It is asserted in the diplomatic circles that
the expulsion of Don MIGUEL from Portugal
has been decided upon, but that there will be
conditions imposed upon Don PEDRO and the
liberal party, to which they are not likely to agree.

A formal complaint against the Baron VON
ZUYLEN, the Dutch Minister at our Court,
was sent to the Hague by Lord PALMERSTON
and Prince TALLEYRAND, on Friday last.

Hamburg and German papers contain no
news. The navigation of the lower Elbe is now
perfectly re-established :

We have now lying before us the Navy Esti-
mates for the year 1833-34, and we are bound,
after a rather minute examination, to say, that
upon the whole they fully justify the triumphant,
though perhaps out of place, reference made to
them by Sir J. GRAHAM, on the evening of the
debate on naval pensions and sinecures. The total
saving over the estimates of last year, amounts to
about 220,000/., the grand totals being for last
year 4,878,6341., and for the coming year
4,658,134/. The principal reductions have
been made in the Admiralty-office, the Navy
Pay-office, the establishments at home and
abroad, in wages to artificers at home and
abroad (under this last head alone the reduction
is about 40,0001.), naval stores (about 50,0001.),
and new works (about 40,0001.) There are
a few items, the estimates for which are some-
what raised, but the increase is for purposes
which we should be the last to quarrel with.
The scientific branch, for instance, is raised
from 20,051/. to 22,1091.; but the true light
in which judicious expenditure of this kind
must be viewed, is that of an ultimate
saving. The two items of increase under this
head, which have most pleased us, are the
trifling sums of 119/. each, extra pay, to the
brave men who have gone to explore the
Quorra, and the island, or continent, as the
estimates call it, of Australia. The branch
which has suffered the largest increase is that
of the civil pensions and allowances, which
presents an augmentation of about 29,000/.
It is, however, right to state that this in-
crease of pensions arises chiefly from the
abolition of the late Navy -office. These
are some of the most striking particulars which
offer themselves to the eye on a first view of the
document before us ; but upon digging into
it a little we turn up many items which
will not, we are sure, pass through Mr.
HOME'S economic sieve without a rub. Many
minor offices might be consolidated, and many
idle servants dispensed with. It would require
us to enter into details more minute than would
be as yet bearable in a newspaper to point out
where our first assertion might be verified, but it
is sufficient to state one fact, applying, we be-
lieve, to the greater part of the public offices,
to justify us in our second assertion. The
hours of commencing and closing business
are generally ten and three o'clock, or four at
the latest, which give twenty-fire or thirty hours
per week to the public for salaries infinitely
higher than is paid by any private individual for
half as much again, or double the amount of
service. We agree that the public service should
be made preferable to that of the mercantile
part of the community; but we contend with
Mr. HUME, that the greater certainty of per-
manency which attends the public service, and
the idea of honour attached to it, will be al-
ways sufficient to give the Government the pick
of the whole labour market, at salaries of the
same amount as is given for a similar quantity
of work, responsibility, &c., by a banker or
merchant in the city.
There is, however, one set of items with
respect to which we wish to speak more in de-
tail ; we allude to the chaplaincies which appear
to be attached to the different dockyards and
naval establishments. At Plymouth and Ports-
mouth there are chaplains with 5001. per an-
num ; in addition to which, the lucky fellow at
Portsmouth has had influence enough to get an
allowance of 701. per annum for house rent.
At a time when what is the sum upon which a
a clergyman can live respectably (we do not
mean with half a dozen liveried menials behind
his chair, or even the " necessary" of a carriage
at command) is likely to come under discussion,
it is important that the Government should not
be suffered to fix upon too high a standard. Now
we contend that 570/. is too much for any
merely ministerial functionary to have, and that
the duty might be just as well performed for
something about half the amount. Indeed, we
see that the chaplain lately appointed to Chat-
ham-yard has only 3501., whereas his predeces-
sor had 5001. (like his brethren at Plymouth
and Portsmouth), and has now retired with
a pension of 230/. We see, that a chap-
lain receives 1001. per annum for attending
the Infirmary, at Chatham, but surely his du-
ties might very well be discharged by the
chaplain of the yard. The chaplain at Pem-
broke has 400/., but there can be no reason why
he should not be at least reduced, on the first
opportunity, to the level of the chaplain at
Chatham. With half his present salary he would
have four times as much as any resident clergy-

man within thirty miles of him. We have also
to regret that the 1)311-pay item has not ex-
perienced a greater reduction. If Ministers
would more strictly adhere to the principle on
which they profess to act, of filling up ali
vacant colonial and home appointments, to
which intelligent naval and military men are
eligible, from the half-pay list, we should soon
have a large reduction of this part of our bur-
dens, a matter of which our readers may judge
the importance, when we state that whilst the
charge for the effective service of the navy is
2,713,4311., that for the non-effective amounts
to the enormous sum of 1,625,603/. We can-
not close these cursory remarks without men-
tioning one or two points in respect of which
Ministers are entitled to credit. The con-
tributions of the students now entirely de-
fray the expenses of the Naval College, and
attention has been paid to savings to be effected
by the transfer of duties from one branch to
another. The estimated expense of the origi-
nal plan for the Naval Establishment at Ber-
muda, of which Mr. HUME so often com-
eiorvnicoClf
theplab pland, htaos
tbheee n
present
wants by a

rea c
service,
from 200,0001. to 40,0001.

In the House of Commons last night, Mr.
STANLEY moved for leave to bring in a B►ll to
a►nend the Grand Jury Laws of Ireland. Ip
doing so, the Right Hon. Secretary entered at
some length into the details of his plan, and pro,
posed numerous amendments, chiefly to the
effect of rendering as public as possible the
expenditure authorized by Grand Juries. M►'.
O'CONNELL, together with the ►najority of the
Irish Members, expressed themselves much gra-
tified with the details of the Right Hon. Secre-
tary's plan. We can with much more readiness
and sincerity praise Mr. STANLEY for his mea-
sures of amelioration than those of coercion
towards Ireland.
