NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE
Kuzzmisastr."—We have great sympathy with Mr.
FRASER'S " Smugglers", who are of the right sort,—
bold, reckless, fearless, dare-all devils, standing out in the
foreground like a group of SALVATOR Rosa's own bandits
—real flesh-and-blood rascal; who are so true to their
calling, that, despite the necessity of so doing, we are
heartily grieved when they fall by sword or bullet. But
the most perfect, the best sustained character in the story,
is the forester, Maccombich, a being who, long after the
volumes are closed, keeps his hold both on our imagination
and our reason, and who is perpetually exciting our WM-
pathy, our admiration, and at last our tears. We hardly
know any personage in any of the Scotch novels to com-
pare him with—for Mr. FRASER Is no imitator. But
this we can aver, that there is no novelist existing who
would not have added a fresh laurel to his wreath by the
embodiment of this fine Highlander.

IRELAND.

(From the Cork Reporter of Saturday.)

MOST IMPORTANT INTERVIEW BETWEEN HIS EXCELLENCY
THE LORD• LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND AND A DEPUTA-
TION FROM ST. ANNE AND ST. MARY SHANDON.

A deputation, consisting of the following gentle-
men—Dr. Baldwin, Messrs. Hayes, Sugrue, Ring,
M'Elligott, Carver, Murphy, O'Flyrin,
M'Carthy, Sheahan, and M'Auliffe—waited upon
his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at
the Imperial Clarence Hotel, to present a memorial,
praying an inquiry into the conduct of the military
and magistracy in the dispersion of the Blarney
meeting, which had been convened for Sunday, the
15th of July last, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration some plan for the encouragement of Irish
manufactures. The memorial originated in the
parishes of Sr. Anne and St. Mary Shandon, in
which the greater part of the poorer manufacturers
reside. The deputation, headed by Dr. Baldwin,
was ushered into his Excellency's presence at about
12 o'clock. Sir Pultney Malcolm, Sir George
Bingham, Colonels King, Travers, and many other
military men of rank, were in attendance upon the
occasion. The usual formalities having been gone
through, Dr. Baldwin read the memorial in a very
effective manner. It was as follows :
" To his Excellency the Marquis of Anglesea, Lieutenant

General and General Governor of Ireland.

"The memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of the pa-
rishes of SS. Mary and Anne Shandon, in the city
of Cork, respectfully
" Showeth, that in a memorial addressed to your Ex-
cellency on the 16th of April last, and signed by the
Mayor and the Lord Bishop of Cork, the poor citizens are
represented as always disposed to obey the laws, and, al-
though pressed by poverty and deprivation, as having
exhibited a laudable example of quiet and patient subordi-
nation.

" That the memorialists failed to obtain from the Go-
vernment the pecuniary assistance which they solicited, at
a period when an epidemic, fatal particularly to the destitute,
ravaged the city,—when 57,000 distressed individuals, acd
21,000 persons in extreme wretchedness, were officially
numbered in a total population of 105,000.
" That, in circumstances so afflicting to humanity, the
only remedy which presented itself for our distresses was
the revival of the branches of industry that formerly af-
forded employment to the labouring classes.
" That associations for the encouragement of Irish ma-
nufacture were formed with this sole and laudable object—.
an object at one time highly favoured and emphatically re-
commended by your Excellency.
" That the populous parishes of Blarney and White-
church, concurring in the views of these associations, an-
nounced a meeting of their inhabitants at the village of
Blarney, on Sunday, the 15th of July, in order to co-
operate with the cit,zens.

• That, to the astonishment of all persons enraged in
this humane, national, and constitutional undertaking, the
village designed for the assemblage of peaceable and or-
derly individuals, was found at the appointed hour pre-
occupied by infantry, cavalry, and artillery, under the di-
rection of the Magistrates, who prohibited the intended
meeting, although unaccompanied by banners or bands
of music; that the meeting was postponed in consequence
of this prohibition, and in order to avoid any sanguinary
collision with the military.
" That the associations in Cork, and the co-operating
inhabitants of the country districts, solemnly deny that they
intended to promote the consumption of Irish manufac-
tures by penalty or compulsion, or the obligation of an
oath, or the exclusion by force of British products.
" That they, on the contrary, enforced the necessity of
prices as low, and commodities as good, as those of other
countries, in order to ensure a permanent preference to
Irish articles in the Irish market.

" That it is a violation of every principle of liberty and
personal security, and social confidence and prosperity, to
have persons thus engaged and a'sembled for such pur-
poses subjected to military interference or aggression, or
to dispersion at the command of any Secretary, or Sub.
Secretary, or local :11agistracy.
" That, as your Excellency can now investigate the en-
tire transaction on the very spot where it occurred, you
are earnestly solicited to institute a strict inquiry into all
the circumstances before you leave this city, and not to
suffer fake charges, or injurious impressions of the conduct
and dispositions of our people to be conveytd to the Legis-
lature of the Government, &c."
When Dr. Baldwin bad concluded the memorial,
and had solicited his Excellency's comphio.ce with
the request of the memorialists,—

His EXCELLENCY tl:en took up the memorial, and
~aid—" I consider this memorial as a charge upon
the civil and military authorities here, and I am
ready to take up the cudgels for both." Then
perusing the memorial, and remarking upon the first
paragraph, his Excellency observed he was quiteready
to acknowledge the general habit of obedience to the
laws, and respect to the authorities, which had cha-
racterized the inhabitants of the county and city of
Cork until within the period of the last two years, of
which obedience and respect, the kindly understand-
ing, till then almost universally existing between
landlord and tenant in the district, was a meritorious
attestation.

His EXCELLENCY then proceeded to the second
paragraph, and exculpated the Government with
regard to the subject of it, by endeavouring to show
that it contained no just ground of complaint.
" You must see the justice (said he) of having re-
fused the relief alluded to, inasmuch as if it had
been accorded to Cork, it would have been at the
expense of the rest of the country. This would
be acting very unfairly by others. The Govern-
ment never refused pecuniary aid when applied to
for it, upon the conditions on which it alone could
be granted—namely, a proper and sufficient arrange-
ment for the repayment of advances : and I assert
that no application put foward upon these just
grounds has been unsuccessful."

Dr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, here
adverted to the grants to the West Indies and the
Canadas, representing to his Excellency that the un-
successfulness of the application for pecuniary aid,
had not been alluded to in the memorial for the pur-
pose of reflecting upon the Government, but in or-
der to draw attention to the cause which induced
the citizens to assemble for the purpose of promot-
ing the encouragement of Irish manufactures—
namely, the extreme wretchedness and destitution
of a great number of the inhabitants.
His EXCELLENCY seemed to approach the next
paragraph (the third) with sentiments of marked
displeasure, observing in an irritated tone—" This
paragraph would appear to imply a charge against
myself, on the ground that I have forgotten my de-
clarations in favour of Irish manufactures, and that,
having formerly supported them, I am now opposed
to their encouragement. That I distinctly deny. I
entertain now the same feelings and the same
anxiety for the prosperity of Ireland and its manu-
factures as I entertained at any former period. In
the meantime, I must declare myself quite opposed
to having that object effected through the instru-
mentality of such a meeting as was held in Blarney.
Indeed, I cannot help considering this paragraph as
reflecting disrespectfully upon myself; and, perhaps,
I should look upon the memorial altogether as in-
tended to be personally offensive to me."

Dr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, as-
sured his Excellency that nothing could be more
remote from their intention than to convey to him
any thing in the least bordering on disrespect. If
his Excellency considered the memorial objectionable
under any such impression, the deputation begged
leave, most respectfully, to withdraw it altogether.
His EXCELLENCY.—That is a matter for the dis-
cretion of the deputation.
Dr. BALDWIN then continued to observe, that, in
adopting the language of the paragraph, the memo-
rialists merely wished to bring to his Excellency's
recollection a fact which they thought could not
prove otherwise than satisfactory to his feelings—
uamely, the support which he had formerly given to
the manufactures of the country, and the letter ad-
dressed by him in 1828 to the Home Secretary, in
which he had emphatically declared himself favoura-
ble to them—without at all intending to imply that
his Excellency had afterwards withdrawn that sup-
port, as to which object of the memorialists his Ex-
cellency had been led into a misconception.
His EXCELLENCY then came to the fourth para-
graph, and having read it, he laid the memorial upon
the table, indicating by his manner and gesture, that
he did not exactly accredit the declaration set forth
in it as to the object of holding the Blarney meet-
ing. He then inquired why it was that Sunday was

fixed on, or Blarney chosen, to hold a meeting of
over 50,000, for the purpose of encouraging Irish
manufactures in the city of Cork ?
Dr. BALDWIN—A considerable part of Blarney
and Whitechurch is in the county of the city of
Cork; in other days it was the scene of busy
industry and a happy manufacturing district. San-
day was appointed as the day of meeting from t%e
consideration that it would be injudicious, if not in-
convenient, on any other to draw away the people
from their agricultural pursuits. It was thought
desirable to bring together the masses of the people
which were there assembled, not to intimidate the
Government of the country by any physical display,
but in order to concentrate opinion upon a great
subject, arid by that concentration to give it due
force. It was, moreover, thought advisable to in-
duce the people of that district to pledge themselves
to support Irish manufactures in preference to Eng-
lish, if they could do so on terms as advantageous.
H's EXCELLENCY then remarked, that he was of
opinion that the explanation given of the paragraph
indicated any thing but liberality of feeling. tie
was strongly inclined to believe it was in contempla-
tion to make it compulsory on the people to support
Irish manufactures, on grounds different from those
which had been stated ; and, for himself, he would
take the liberty of declaring that his own sentiments
were indeed vastly more generous than those con-
veyed in the paragraph, which he could not help
designating exceedingly illiberal. " With respect to
such meetings, moreover," added his Excellency,
" I conceive that an erroneous view has been taken
of the law regulating arid prohibiting them. Such
masses of people, though unaccompanied by
banners or bands of music, are clearly illegal. If a
meeting be so large as to excite terror in the minds
of persons, even of delicate nerves, it is illegal. It
is my duty to enforce the fulfilment of the law,and
to assist the anthorities to carry it into execution,
and I consider the meeting alluded to illegal in
such a degree that I think the civil authorities
were perfectly justifiable in suppressing it, and
having called in the assistance of the mili-
tary for that purpose, I conceive that they,
too, have acted with propriety, They dal not
meet, moreover, for the purpose of petitioning. I
do not mean to say that the existing laws do not
' need alteration; on the contrary, I am every day
suggesting amendments in them ; but so long as
they continue the laws of :he land—although I
may not concur in the policy of them—l will uphold
them, even by military power if necesssry."
Mr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, said
they differed with the Noble Marquis in his view of
the law—that it was conceived that mere numbers
could not render a meeting illegal, inasmuch as, if
such were the case, the reform meetings in England,
with which his Majesty's Ministers corresponded,
must have been illegal on the same ground, being at
least as numerous as the Blarney meeting, and
attended with circumstances more exciting to deli-
cate nerves. It was likewise conceived that the
people had a right to meet for other objects besides
petitioning Parliament, and that it was the duty of
the civil, and not of the military powers to interfere
upon such occasions. These opinions were con-
firmed by the constitutional history of the country,
and sustained by the illustrious names of Black-
stone, Grattan, and Fox.
His EXCELLENCY, in reply, said he more than
doubted whether Fox had ever sanctioned the view
of the law taken by the deputation. He was inti-
mately acquainted with the opinions of the nephew
of that distinguished statesman, Lord Holland,
whose liberality and love of constitutional liberty,
could not be questioned, and yet he certainly did
not recognize that view of the law. " It is (said
his Excellency) the continual excitement and un-
ceasing agitation which pervade the country, that
prevent the influx of English capital since the pass-
ing of the Relief Bill, and the promotion of Irish
manufactures, which would be the natural conse-
quence. No wealthy capitalist, who loved ease and
quiet, would venture to embark his capital in the
country in its present disturbed state, even with the
prospect of employing it to the greatest advantage.
It is for this reason that Ireland is at present as we
find her."

Dr. BALDWIN, in reply, observed that we had had
many intervals of quiet since the Union, from which
we derived little advantage; that the subject of Ca-
tholic emancipation was not even mooted till 1605,
and that if English capital were to be introduced at
all, or English Legislation improved, there was
abundant time from the Union to that period ; that
we had had times of war and of peace, of civil agita-
tion and decided quiet, in either of which we did
not find the condition of the country ameliorated by
either legislation or capital. Fran-i agitation alone
we derived whatever benefits had been extended to
our country.

The NOBLE MARQUIS, after perusing the memo.
rial again, said—" The present Government is the
most liberal which we have known for a long series
of years. It honestly and truly professes to legis-
late for the improvement of Ireland, but the colli-
sion of angry parties renders the measures in con-
templation of Government difficult of applivaiion,
and the whole energies of the contending factions
seem devoted to procrastinate any wholesome mea-
sure of relief, and to obstruct the good intentions
entertained towards the country. For myself, lam
suffering martyrdom between the parties. In 1828
I was the most popular man in Ireland, and I will
take to myself the ci edit of having been the imme-
diate cause of procuring Catholic emancipation.—
For my acts in the Government at that period I
lost the confidence of the Ministers of England : I
was deprived of my office, and, what I valued far
higher than any other consideration, I lost the
friendship and regard of the King. All this I
suffered for Ireland and her welfare, and I must
say I met with a most ungrateful return. At
the time I refer to, I was the most popular
man in Ireland, and now, by the machinations of
agitators and leaders, and the misrepresentations of
interested parties, I am the most unpopular man."---
(As his Excellency spoke the last sentence, he turned
round to the military gentlemen present, as if ap•
pealing to them upon the justness of the remark,
and they appeared to indicate assent.)--" And I
appeal to every body about me, whether I have not
been treated with marked disrespect. But I acqnit
the people of the charge of ingratitude, laying it
more strongly upon the shoulders of their leaders;
for I do believe, that if great palm had not been
taken with them, ninety-nine out of every hundred
would have cheered me as I passed through the
country."

The deputation, on behalf of themselves and the
people of Cork, disclaimed any intention of actin..
disrespectfully to his Excellency. They were grate
ful for the services which he rendered the country
in other days—of those services they entertained a
warm sense, but against all these recollections in his
favour recent circumstances prevailed. They con-
ceived the course of Government, of which they
complained, to have been induced by the misrepre-
sentations and misstatements of those who had ever
been the enemies of the people, and to the line of
policy which had been adopted in listening to their
counsels, his Excellency was to attribute the absence
of that complimentary manifestation of public senti-
ment of which he complained.

however, as I am, of the integrity of intention and
the liberal plans of his Majesty's present honest
Ministers towards this country, and knots ing, from
my own experience, the difficulty of applying those
views and legislating upon them—viewing, more-

Dr. BALDWIN, in reply, complimented his Ex-
cellency upon his daring and highmindedness—li s

,a

h much earnestness,
and in a tone indicating firmness

doubting confidence, said—" A' day will shortly ar-
rive,—it can't be distant,—indeod it is not possible
it can be distant,—when measures already prepared
and in preparation for tile government of Ireland
will be developed, and when justice will be done to
the Government of the country for its good inten-
tions. When that day comes—and come it shortly
will—l shall expect to receive from you a letter of
acknowledgment upon the subject, and of thanks for
what is now in progress of legislative preparation,
I and for my individual exertions in contributing to
create an order of things suited for those measures.
I necessarily found myself at variance with two
parties which are struggling for their own private
and fcctious ends—retarding improvement—injuring
the country—and obstructing the measures of the
Government. One of those parties I have put
down, mid you want to mount and bestride them;
but that shall not be; for I will master you both.
And with respect to the repeal of the union (conti-
nued his Excellency, turning short from the subject
upon which he had been speaking), to enable any
impartial man to decide upon the advantage of such
a m;,asure, I would only ask him to visit the quays
of Dublin, and I would there inquire of him what
would become of the trade of the country if severed
from England? What (tauntingly) of your corn,
your pigs, arid your butter ? Why, I would but ask
my friend Sir P. Malcolm, and four gun-brigs, to
blockade every river in your country." His Excel-
lency, after using this expression, turned round, and
appealed to the gallant Admiral, who bowed his
concurrence.

The deputation admitted the great naval and mi-
litary power of England; but, in seeking for a re-
peal of the legislative union, the people of Ireland
never contemplated for a moment a separation be-
tween the countries, or, consequently, a war with
England. On the contrary, it had invariably been
the study of the leaders of the people who advocate
repeal, distinctly to prohibit them from entertaining
any thoughts or opinions in the least tending to
such a separation. But if it should so happen that
Sir Pulteney Malcolm and his four gun-brigs did
blockade our ports, we have little apprehension that
we have ample sources within ourselves for our
prosperity. The revenue raised from Ireland, and
expended in England and the colonies, was, we
conceive, the great source of national complaint—
tending, as it did, to the impoverishment of the
country, and to the diminution of the people's
prosperity.

- The Noble MARQUI3 observed, that the argument
used by the deputation might, perhaps, be employed
with more propriety in Parliament than upon the
present occasion. . _

A military gentleman here remarked, that as Dr.
Baldwin was a candidate for the representation of
Cork, it would be, perhaps, well if he reserved his
observations for his place in the House of Commons.
Dr. BALDWIN—I do expect, Sir, to have the ho-
nour of representing my native city in Parliament;
but the observations which I made were not unso-
licited : I did not urge them of myself; they were
in reply to questions put to me by his Excellency,
and I was induced to make them by his urbanity.
Some of the attending officers having here alluded
to the lateness of the hour,
The MARQUIS rose, as if about to conclude the
conference, and the deputation were, in conse-
quence, preparing to depart, when his Excellency
said, " I am not, you perceive, doing things accord-
ing to form. Mere I am, talking to you in a man-
ner which etiquette and ceremonial would not ad-
mit; but I wish to speak with you in a friendly
way, and to impress on your minds, that the courses
pursued at public meetings, and those angry colli-
sions with the Government, which many are so prone
to cultivate and encourage, militate against the
very objects and ends which are sought to be ac-
complished."
After some desultory observations had been made,
His EXCELLENCY again took up the memorial,
and, addressing the deputation, said, " You call
upon me for an inquiry into the circumstances of the
military interference at the Blarney meeting."
Dr. BALDWIN—" Yes; that is our object. We
conceive that that interference was illegal and uncon-
stitutional ; but we do not mean to charge the mi-
litary with having dispersed the meeting, but at the
desire and by the instructions of Sir William Gossett
or the Magistrates."
At the mention of the name of Sir William Gos-
sett, the Noble Marquis appeared exceedingly in-
dignant, angrily exclaiming, " There is no such
poison as Sir William Gossett--I am Sir William
Gossett; he is my private Secretary; I adopt his
acts, and I will answer for them. You call for an
inquiry ; if you wish it, it shall be granted you.
The Government has never refused to direct an in-
quiry when any sufficient grounds have been alleged
for its imtitution. Though lam satisfied that this
will have the same termination as most other pro-
ceedings of a similar kind, I will grant it if you wish.
I have always selected for such inquiries men of the
most honourable character, and from the most libe-
ral class of the profession„ and I have yet found
that they invariably terminated in the exculpation of
the accused party."
Towards the close of the conference it was stated
by one of the deputation that a man had been lanced
by a cavalry soldier in a field belonging to Mr. Jef-
feries, on the day of the Blarney meeting.
Sir GEORGE BINGHAM declared that that was the
first intimation he had received of any such occur-
rence having taken place. He stated, that he had
been requested by Mr. Jefferies to clear a particular
field of the populace, who had been thronging into
it, and he had, accordingly, given orders that it
should be done : but he positively affirmed, that he
had not, until then, heard of the charge which had
been put forward.

One of the deputation assured his Excellency he
was an eye-witness to the transaction.
His EXCELLENCY—If you can name a single mi-
litaly man who has done wrong, you shall have the
most satisfactory inquiry into his conduct. Can you
name the man i You shall have the Attorney-Ge-
neral, and the best assistance the Government can
supply, for his prosecution.
To this it was replied, that the individual could
not be identified; his Excellency could only be as-
sured of the fact.

The conference, which lasted for over an hour,
here concluded, and the deputation retired.
Although the opinions and sentiments expressed
in this interview by his Excellency were not in con-
currence with those of the deputation, they could
not depart without strong feelings of respect for the
character and independence of !Ili Excellency, and
for that benignity of manner which so happily and
quickly succeeded every indication of displeasure.

The Baroness de FEUCHERES has just ar-
rived from Paris, and is at present residing at the Bruns-
wick Hotel, Jermyn-street.
Mercantile letters have this morning been
received from Ginstantinople, dated as late as the 22d and
23d of last month, containing important intelligence re-
specting the war between the Viceroy of Ecrer and the
PORTE. It is stated that an express had arrived at Con-
stantinople with an account of the defeat of the Grand
Turkish Army under HUSSEIN PACRA in the neighbour-
hood of Aleppo. Some of the letters, however, state that
the action took place with an advanced corps only, and that
the main body of the SULTAN'S army, which is commanded
by HUSSEIN PACIIA in person, was not engaged; but they
concur in describing the rout of the Turks as complete.
The mortality of HossElN's troop., occasioned by, disease,
had previously been great ; and this defeat, whatever the
extent of it may really have been, appears to he regarded
by the writers of the letters as quite decisive of the present
campaign, and most disastrous to the Porte.—A postscript
to one letter mentions that there was also in circulation a
report of a naval victory obtained by the Egyptians, who,
it was said, had captured several ves els of the Turkish fleet.

Mr. GRATTAN'S 44 Legends of the Rhine"
appear at a very opportune moment, as the present is the
period of the year when our countrymen indulge them-
selvts in tours in that interesting part of Europe. Those,
therefore, who are about to travel thither, will be delighted
to find almost every part of their journey illustrated by
the fine talents of one of our hest living novelists; while
those who remain at home will have their imaginations
warmed by a series of stories wherein romantic fiction
and poetical scenery are blended in happy union.
