confidence was beginning to be restored, al-
though a great number of arrests on that day
seemed to indicate that the Minister was not
much at his ease. M. MIE, the Editor of the
Tribune, and a number of the Society of the
Friends of the People, were arrested. The De-
bate on the Civil List was expected to be con-
cluded in the evening.

The Chronicle of this morning has the follow-
lig paragraph :

" We are informed from a source that has never yet de-
ceived us, that there has not been the slightest inison,ler-
standing between Lord I'ALMERSTON and Prince TALLEY..
RAND, either with relation to the destruction of the 13,1-
gian fortresses or any other subject. The Ministers of the
five Porvers appointed to effect the amicable arrangement
between Belgium and Holland are in perfcct amity with
each other."

We are glad to hear this, and sincerely trust it
may be true, for nothing is at this moment so im-
portant as the maintenance ofa good understanding
between England and France. It is well known that
if the Tories could get into power, of which,
thank Heaven ! there is no chance, their first act
would be to embroil this country in a war with
France. Indeed they have been already trying
their underhand tricks with those continental
Stites forming the Holy Alliance to gain
that object ; but the firmness of France
and England has hitherto defeated their
machinations. The non-ratification of the
Belgic treaty is wholly attributable to misrepre-
sentation at home, and insincerity abroad. The
Tories still place their faith (forlorn hope !) in
the chapter of accidents, to strangle the Reform
Btll ; and their old Allies—" the right divine
to govern wrong" worthies—hope that the game
of delay may contribute to the same desirable
end ; but they must and will be disappointed.

In another part of our Paper will be found
a long and elaborate letter on the subject of Irish
Poor Laws, addressed to Mr. O'Co N NELL by Dr.
DOYLE. The Reverend Prelate professes to be
a staunch advocate for the introduction of these
laws into Ireland, as being the only effectual
means of ameliorating the condition of the poor.
But they will also have the effect of touching
the rich absentees, who are impervious to all
appeals save those made to the pocket, for
which reason we have always advocated the
necessity of introducing a modified system
of Poor Laws into the sister country.
Dr. DOYLE'S letter will be perused with
much interest ; the more so, from the fear-
less, but perfectly decorous manner in which it
strips bare all the sophistries of O'CONNELL
on the subject of the Poor Laws. The arch-
agitator has also, it will be perceived, received a
trimming, of no very gentle character, from his
old friend Lord CLONCURRY, who, we cannot
but think, has applied the branding iron with
much justice.

We regret to learn that on Saturday morning
early a very serious fire broke out in Queen-
street, Glasgow. At six o'clock in the morning
(the hour when the mail leaves) five or six large
houses had been consumed, and the ravages of
the fire were then spreading, according to our
correspondent's letter, in a fearful manner.

The Austrian Observer contains the firman
of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, on the subject of
his dispute with the PACHA of Egypt. The for-
mer adroitly puts himself forward as a sort of
arbitrator on the claims of two contending par-
ties, instead:of a Sovereign about to take vengeance
on a rebellious vassal :
