Mr. O'CONNELL'S ViSit d'"
.0 the metropolis of Scot-
t)°, remembered by the inhabitants of
land will long
that anciP city. It is impossible to read the account

of the proceedings connected with that visit, without
being struck with the intensity of the interest excited by
the presence of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The
sober and steady people of Edinburgh seem to have laid
aside for the time all the industrious pursuits in which
they are so constantly and keenly engaged, and to inve
made a holiday, as if by general coP.r.;eht, in order to
welcome with due respect tiv!, Man to whom the cause
of civil and r:lglous liberty owes so much.
And is what the hirelings of the Tory Press
wir,ild attribute to curiosity l They cannot brook
the thought that Mr. O'CONNELL is popular
among the pious, reflecting, and prudent natives of
the North, and therefore they endeavour to mislead
the public by what they know to be a gross misrepre-
sentation. Well may the Tories dread the effect of
the Liberator's enthusiastic reception by the Scotch.
They may read in it the sign of a speedier termination,
than would otherwise have been put, to those mon-
strous abuses which it is their interest to uphold, be-
cause the abuses have upheld them. One of
the happiest effects resulting from Mr. O'CONNELL'S
" mission," will be the cementing of a union between
the people of Scotland and Ireland, which cannot
fail to ensure for the latter country that justice which
it has always been the wicked policy of the Tories to
withhold. Mr. O'CONNELL has been hailed by the
Scotch as the Representative as well as the Liberator
of his country. He has stated her wrongs,
and pleaded her cause before the people of Scot-
land, with a power of eloquence which could not be
resisted, because it was the eloquence of truth ;
appealing to the best principles of human nature.
His success has been complete. He has subdued the
nation's prejudices, and roused its sympathies in favour
of oppressed and injured Ireland. How beautifully
he alludes to the land of his birth in the following
passage, while he expresses the gratitude which evcri
Irishman must feel for the honour done to hi-4 country
in his person :

" From you my thoughts wands- to the oppressed land
of my birth. I remember ter romantic valleys arid her
splendid hills; the evergreen verdure of her plains;
the sound of her mountain streams falls on my ear ; the
rush of her waves against the cliffs, announcing with the
voice of eternity that that nation is not to be enslaved
nor degraded,—( Renewed cheers.) My countrymen will hear
with deka the manner in which I was received in Eng-
land ar.4 in Edinburgh.—( Long and loud cheering.) That
shout shall reach from one end of Ireland to the other, and
many a true-hearted Irishman will feel his heart animated
and uplifted within him when he hears how Scotland has
received the humble individual now before you. Many an
Irish mother, while she hugs her babe to her breast, and sings
it to repose with an Irish air, will mix the noble strain with
" Auld Langsyne," or " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled,"
and as the accents lull her babe to sleep, will raise a prayer
to God to bless the generous people who stood by ould Ireland
in her days of need."—( Immense applause.)
Mr. O'CoNNELL's description of the defeat of the
Tory Administration, is of a different character—.
though not less perfect in its kind

" He (the Duke of Wellington) hired, he bought up the
Press—hired that instrument of venality and corruption, the
vagabond Times—he even bought up the that wretched rag the
Morning .Herald.—( Cheers.) He succeeded in his attempt in
England, for there was a majority of 27 in the English and
Welsh Members, against human liberty. But Scotland
stood by her colours well—the flag of freedom floated over
her cities, her counties, and her towns—and Scotland sent
a majority against the Duke, of 18 out of 50. That, how-
ever, would not answer; there was still a majority of nine
against liberty. But, hurrah, for poor Pat—( Great laughter)
—Pat drove into the thick of the fight.--( Cheers.) 1;:s
a custom he has ; and, really, Gentlemen, he can_ help
it.—( Continued laughter and cheers.) He would- ~
be braver
than either the English or the Scotch, if bra'-er than either
of these brave nations could be found • but he well de-
served to stand along with them..-7( /....,oud Cheers.) Well,
Paddy sent a majority of 33 for ).tberty ; and here am 1,
as large as life, one of them- -( Great laughter and cheer-
ing)—and though all the, 33 cannot talk so loud and as
long as I can, yet t.}-,ey are all equally devoted to the
amelioration of ti.teir institutions, and to the ultimate
triumph of fre-,:dom.—( Cheers.) Well, we gained the
-
victory ; but , though the Commons are with us, yet the House
of Lord, are against us,
and they have determined that
they "will not concede a portion of freedom which they
possibly keep back. They have stood upon the limits of
abuse, and have declared, with respect to improvement, " Thus
far shalt thou come, and no farther."

The Paris Papers of Sunday confirm the accounts
published yesterday respecting the dissolution of the
Madrid Cabinet. The Countess TORRENO is al-
ready on her way to Paris, whither the Count is to
follow her in a few days, in the capacity of Ambassador
to the French Court. According to the Temps, the
QUEEN was led to change her Ministers solely through
the influence of Mr. VILLIERS. Spain is de-
nounced by the French Press as the property
of the English Whigs, who have obtained a
triumph over the French Tories. M. de RAY-
NEVAL, the French Ambassador at the Court
of Spain, seems to have lost his senses, and the
condition of his Royal Master is hardly less lament-
able. M. de RAYNEVAL has sought permission to
quit Spain, protesting • that he has been over-reached,
and made a fool of by Mr. VILLIERS. The excitement
which this has occasioned among the partizans of
Louts PHI LLIPPE throughout France is absolutely
astonishing. There is hardly a journal published
in which we are not attacked, and to be revenged
on us France seems really prepared to fling her-
self into the arms of Russia, and join the great
Northern Powers in elevating Don CARLOS to
the Spanish Throne. This is all the KING'S doing.
We knew and foretold what would be the consequence
of a general rising of the Spanish Federalists. The
KING had forgotten that the spirit of the Communeros
still slumbered in the bosom of Spain. - He sup-
posed that the Spanish populace had suffered their
notions of civil and religious liberty to extend no
further than a squabbling among themselves, aris-
ing out of the political intrigues of the Princesses
of PORTUGAL and NAPLES. He depended upon
the power of the old Anilleros and the Ser-
villes ; and, in fact, anticipated the establishment
of an absolute monarchy in Spain,—in the event of
which it mattered not to him on -,:nom the people
might bestow the Sovereignty..
We well remember
having repeatedly stat:,,:t,
during the brief resi-
dence of Gener.;!, ALAVA in London, that un-
less England . and France assisted the regular QUEEN with
troops, the Spaniards would disappoint
all by adopting a federal system of Govern-
ment, on the principle of the Helvetian Republic.
We are assured that when the possibility of
such an event was mentioned to the King of the
FRENCH, his Majesty laughed at it, as too ridiculous
to be listened too even for a moment. In his heart he
desired the triumph of Don CARLOS ; and it is asserted
that he would have declared himself in favour of
the Usurper—notwithstanding the existence of the
quadruple treaty—had he had not been opposed by
MM. THIERS and GUIZOT, who threatened to re.
sign if the claims of the PRINCE were 1::::CoglliZed by
France. It is quite notorious gnat MM. lIIJMANN
and PERSIL both openly avowed themselves friendly
to the cause of Don CARLOS, and that they were
countenanced by the KING, while giving utterance to
such sentiments.
England need no longer boast of the closeness and
and permanency of her alliance with France. We
must henceforth look only to ourselves. In future, it
will be the alliance of Russia tnd France that will
form the chief topic in the Cabinets of Europe. The
KING is determined to establish absolute power—to
re-construct the political temple of the old Bourbons
—and that he csnnot accomplish while EnOand
