CHOLERA IN ENNIS.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.)
From the subjoined letter, we may well conceive the
panic that has seized on the inhabitants of Ennis, and we
are not surprised at it, when we consider the very dense
Population of the town, nearly 10,000, crowded into nar-
row lanes and alleys, with scarely a street wide enough to
be considered any thing snore than a lane. We shudder
With horror at the prospect of the inhabitants under this
visitation, as it is probable the town may be afflicted with
famine as well as pestilence, from the apprehension of the
farmers, who may be deterred from bringing in provisions
to the town ; but we would most earnestly impress on the
inhabitants and farmers the danger of giving way to fear on
this occasion ; but to use every reasonable exertion to stop
bthe Progress of a disease which we admit to be frightful,
:,which, by proper precaution, care anal attention, may
a groat measure successfully guarded against.
(EXTRACT OF A LETTER.)

nni Je 1, 8. It is with horror I inform Eyous,that th othe
ch lolera32 has
broken out here in its greatest violence. Nothing but
scenes of woe and desolation about us. It is in Bow_
lane, Mill-street, Chspel-lane, and the Turnpike, and in other lanes in town. You cannot imagine the hurry one is in leaving town this moment. Not a sho p will be
every
open to-morrow. Yesterday, Joseph Kenny, the vic-
tualler, went to the fair of Clare, was taken ill on the
road, and died in four hours. Con. Coree helped him
off the ground when he fell, and is dead since five o'clock.
There are five other deaths also, and I do not know how
many new cases. I am myself so much afraid, that I
would not for 100/. go to mass, or to your house.
Andrew Kent died yesterday, and was buried in Dunn-
clift. According to the regulations of the Board of
Health, they are buried immediately. Shanks, the car-
penter's wife, died from a fright, at seeing the cholera cart.
She has left 11 children.
Con. Coree in his own house—The doctors had the cart
twice at his door to take him to the hospital, hut the
People would not let him go there. We expect nothing
less than a plague from the number of people that are
waking him—the police are obliged to bury the dead.
Stephen Ilehir, a carpenter, is dead next door to Coree,
and several people dl that are not sent to hospital.
The Board of Health have sent for physicians to Dublin.
Our physicians are quite exhausted, being unable to attend
the numerous cases that crowd on them.
God only knows whether I may ever write again to
You--for the people drop down at once, and do not live
many hours.

A curious case of libel was noticed in our
Bow-street report yesterday, in which Mr. Roe, the pre-
siding Magistrate at that office, was obliged by the law,
as it now stands, to hold a man to bail, or rather to send
him to prison, for exhibiting on a board some paintings of
the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and WELLINGTON, with the
emblematic figure of John Bull trampling upon them.
Such is the law of libel as it now stands : the heads were
opined to be those of the eminent persons above-named,
the exhibition of them by the poor fellow was libellous,
'-and 4 man may be held to bail, and in default of bail
imprisoned, for a libel before trial, and of course before
conviction ! This state of libel law was exposed as cruel
and absurd, when a celebrated circular of Lord SID-
Itotrrit's called for its enforcement. If the poor fellow
had deserted his occupation and fled, surely his flight
Would have been punishment enough. If a public writer
kends forth a libel, he is retained to answer for the offence
bY his station in society, and the interest of his establish-
ment,—so that, in the one case, the calling for bail is
cruel, in the other unnecessary. We trust the law, if law
it be, will be altered forthwith.—Vimes.
DISCOVERY OF A TREASURE.---SOTne men,
in the act of digging a vault in the churchyard of
Pluekley, in Kent, last week, discovered a most valuable
treasure, consisting of gold and silver coins to the value
of nearly 150/. The dates of many of them cannot be
decyphered ; but there are no less than five gold coins of
AuGusTUR Ciesmt,
been resting in their" so that we may suppose they have
hallowed abode" many hundred
Years.—Kentish Gazetie.
On Saturday,
aboutabo midnight, a fire was dis-
covered in a barn in
tn of Mr. W. KEN-
WARD, at Ridgewood, Uckfield, which, with about five
loads of wheat, Were entirely destroyed. There is no
doubt that the fire was the diabolical wo, k of an incendiary.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1832.

Her MAJESTY held a Drawing-Room at St.
James's Palace this day, which, judging from
the number of carriages with which the streets
were thronged, was numerously attended. A
detachment of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue)
were stationed in front of the Palace, with their
band in state uniform, who played many favourite
airs whilst the company were setting down. It
was anticipated in the early part of the
morning, that the Drawing-room, and the
Ball to-morrow night, would have been put off;
owing to a very prevalent rumour that the young
Princess LoutSA had fallen a victim to
her sufferings ; and we fear, from the answers
we received this forenoon at the Palace,
that there is too much truth in the rumour.
Certain it is that a postponement was expected by
a gentleman holding a high situation in the
Household, and from the cause above stated.

The Irish Reform Bill came on for discussion
last night in the House of Commons, when Mr.
O'CoNNELL took some exceptions, and moved
some amendments, to it, all of which were

negatived, though by a singularly small majority.
It cannot but be a matter of general regret that
the Irish Bill is of so very unsatisfactory a cha-
racter as compared with that for Scotland and
England. The two latter kingdoms have justice
done them. Ireland, as usual, has none. She
is put off with a meagre hint that something
better may possibly be done for her at some
future day, because, we suppose, it is pre-
sumed, that at present, she cannotep h
her-
self. This is a very dangerous principle,
a very shorted-sighted policy to act upon, as
respects a kingdom so rife with all the materials
of combustion as Ireland. It will swell the ranks
of the repealers, gain them recruits from men of
all classes and all parties, from Presbyterians in
the north to Papists in the south ; and still
further alienate the affections of the people from
England. Of course Ministers cannot expect that
the Irish Reform Bill will be a final one. Of
course they must anticipate renewed agitation, and,
consequently, a renewed system of coercion, and
ultimately the final restoration of her rights
to the sister country. Would it not then
have been far better, far more politic,
to have settled the question now, instead of de-
ferring it to some future day, when it will be
extorted as a right, not accepted as a boon
The truth is, we suppose, that Ministers are not
free agents on this occasion ; that they are under
some sort of pledge to pass the Irish Bill in its
present state, without any further extension of

the franchise. If this be really the case, our
consolation is, that the passing of this measure
even in its present state, will at no distant
period, insure Ireland a far more efficient and
comprehensive one. But then again comes the

question, will Irishmen endure to wait
passively the approach of that desired period ?
Will they agree to refrain from agitation, until
it may please his MAJESTY'S Ministers to take
their case into serious consideration ? We
apprehend not. In a pamphlet now lying before
us, Mr. O'CONNELL has pointed out the many
defects of the Irish Bill, with his usual tact and
manliness. He makes out a strong, indeed we
may say, an irresistible case, which, so far as we
can perceive, has not yet been answered by any
one individual, whether immediately or remotely
connected with his MAJESTY'S Government.
Mr. STANLEY'S whole argument last night
,was
mere begging of the question. As for Lord
•AL'rHHORP, finding that he Lad little or nothing

to say, he did more than justice to his task, b,
saying absolutely less than nothing. His Lord.
ship is far too holiest and open-hearted a man
to make a good sophist. He is deficient in Si
ROBERT'S candour. He lacks the Blifilisn
and Joseph Surfaceism of that most plausibly
of statesmen. He stands too much on tht
punctilios of common honesty—a fault of which
your promising public characters are seldom
guilty. After a protracted discussion, the
House went into Committee on the Irish
Bill pro forma', on the understanding that it
should be proceeded with on Monday.

Brussels Papers of the 13th inst. have been
received : their contents relate chiefly to some
diplomatic movements and appointments of no
interest here ; and to the jealousy of the Dutch,
who are now more on the alert than ever, in
consequence of the cholera having appeared in
Belgium.

The commerce of Antwerp has lately been
very prosperous, the basin presenting the ap-
pearance of a forest of masts. Upwards of a
hundred vessels, principally laden with grain,
have arrived during the present month, and An-
twerp is now considered the depOt of corn for a
great part of Europe.

The increasing enthusiasm of the German
people in favour of liberty seems to alarm the
authorities more than ever. Proclamation suc-
ceeds proclamation, vainly hoping thereby to
stifle political feeling. The people everywhere
are now convinced of their own strength, and are
resolved on asserting the freedom of the press as
the surest guardian of public liberty, because
the press, where free, must always be the organ
of public opinion. From the late indication
of hostile interference by the despots against the
Press, we shall not be surprised to learn that a
conspiracy has been hatched between Austria,
Prussia, and Russia, together with the small fry
of the German States, for putting down the grow-
ing liberal spirit which now manifests itself
throughout these countries. But they are too
late. Reform in England is triumphant, and
must now stimulate the Germans in the glorious
work of accomplishing their political and civil
regeneration. Sir WALTER SCOTT, we per-
ceive, has arrived at Frankfort, on his return
home :

FRANKFORT, JUNE 5.—A proclamation of the Burgo-
master an 1 Senate of this city has just been putijished,
prohibiting all political associations and assemblies, besides
ti e legally constituted corporations; all badges, all marks
of distinction relative to such associations, are also prohi-
bited, especially the cockade of black, red, and gold.
Sir Walter Scott arrived here to-day with his family,
and lodge in the Hotel de Busse.

The Grand Duke of Baden has also issued a proclama-
' tion, which, after stating the unjustifiable and seditious
language used by the speakers at the late assembly at
Hambach, recommends his subjects from attending any
similar meetings in the Grand Duchy ; and, as it is
usual, in many parts of the country, for the people to
meet on certain days of the year to join in various sports
and amusements. The Government while it saw, with
great pleasure, the inhabitants indulging in innocent diver-
sions, wilt take care that none of those inflammatory ora-
tors shall interfere in them ; and all public speeches to the
people so assembled, which are wholly incompatible with
the objects of these meetings are prohibited, and the police
officers are enjoined to impose on those who shall disobey
this injunction, a fine which is not to exceed fifteen
florins, unless the contents of the speech so delivered should
constitute an offence to which the laws affix a more se-
vere penalty.—Frankfort Papers, June 7.

The Dutch Papers to the 12th inst. contain
a report of the debate in the Second Chamber
of the States-General on the project of a law
for placing at the disposal of the Government
part of the sum granted by a vote of credit, of
the 4th of January, for providing for the extra-
ordinary expenses that might be caused by the
continuation of the state of war. After a long
and animated discussion, the question was carried
by a majority of 42 to 4.

The French Papers contain little additional
news of moment, with the exception that the
medical gentlemen at Paris had been ordered to
make out a return of the wounded—an order
which, as was to be expected, had occasioned a
very general indignation.

Letters have been received this morning from
Madeira, by the Brothers, of the 29th of May,
ten days later than the last accounts, which state
that the blockade had been raised, and the ships
had sailed to join Don PEDRO'S expedition ; the
troops had been removed from the island of Los
Santos also to join the expedition.

Accounts from [Madrid state that the French
and English Ambassadors had received from
their Governments orders to demand their pass-
ports the moment the Spanish troops entered
the Portuguese frontiers.

Accounts from the frontiers of Poland state
that a considerable number of Russian troops
were assembling in the environs of Cracow.

Accounts from La Vendee state that the ob-
stinate defence made by the Chouans in the cha-
teau of La Peneline, near Blisson, was attributed
to the Duchess of BERRI being present. A
number of Chouans perished in the flames, as no
quarter was given, and on their dead bodies
were found diamond rings of value.
A letter from \lontagne, La Vendee, states
that 800 of them were passed in review on the
4th, near Liege, by a lady who was supposed to
be the Duchess de BERRI.
