MENDIZABAL.

The Royal Decrees will be read with a lively in-
terest. They breathe the very spirit of liberty.

In another part of this day's Sun, under the head
" Dublin," will be found an interesting communica-

tion from an intelligent Correspondent—who is every
way qualified to offer a sound opinion on the subject—.
on the present condition and future prospects of Ire-
land. Both these he represents as being highly fa-
vourable, and likely long to continue so, provided Mi-
nisters persevere in their present prudential course of
policy. He assures us, and gives us proofs too, which
fully bear out his assertion, that Toryism is every where
on the decline in Ireland, even in those districts most
disinclined to submit to innovation, and where her star
has been so long in the ascendant. " Defection," he
says, " is already spreading in the Tory camp, and
if Government will but pursue the even tenour of its
way, with the firmness exhibited during the last
Session of Parliament, the next will have established

the happiest change for the United Kingdom which
can be recorded in her history." This is a cheering
prospect to look forward to ; and not less auspicious is
the fact, that even the most hot-headed and prejudiced
of the Orange party are fast awakening to the convic-
tion, that it is useless to continue any longer the
struggle for ascendancy ; and, moreover, that should
Sir R. PEEL, by any disastrous chance—which may
Heaven avert I—again succeed in forming a Ministry,
that Ministry must be composed k materials as diame-
trically opposed to his last, as light to darkness. Our

correspondent closes his communication by observing,
that " Whiggism is in the ascendant on this side of
the Channel ; and though there may be difficulties in
the way of our immediate amelioration of the affairs of

Ilk long-distracted country, the present Governmen

has powers of the most ample description to surmount
them, and to bestow on us those blessings, peace and
prosperity, to which we have long been strangers in
our native land."

Mr. Sheriff RAPH AEL has addressed a communi-
cation to the Electors of the County of Carlow, wherein
he endeavours to convict Mr. O'CONNELL of bad
faith in having promised, for certain pecuniary consi-
derations, to secure his return for the County, and
having afterwards neglected to fulfil his promise. We
have read the Sheriff's letter with some attention, and
find—though the writer would fain have us believe
otherwise—that it merely • amounts to this—namely,
that Mr.O'CoNNhLL, approving •of Mr. RAPHAEL'S
political principles, and being naturally anxious that
such a man should represent CarloW in pre-
ference to a Tory, offered, on condition that
he would defray the requisite expenses—about
2,0001.—t0 do his utmost to secure his return. He
did so, and was successful in his efforts ; but unfortu
nately, a month or so afterwards, a petition was
presented against the Sheriff's return, and he was
in consequence unseated ; which has now induced
.him to come forward, and publicly tax Mr. O'CON-
NELL with having broken his promise. The 'whole of
Mr. RAPHAEL'S communication is of the great-cry-
and-little-wool class of writing. Because Mr. O'CoN-
NELL happens to have told him by note that he had no
doubt 2,0001. would clear all election expenses, and act-
ing on that conviction, rashly said he would arrange all
necessary pecuniary matters, long before he could
possibly have known what would be their amount
because Mr. O'CONNELL in a confidential letter,
penned in evident haste, expressed himself in this
random style--the Sheriff tries to pin him down, to
what, acting under an evident misconception, ho con-
siders to have been a mere business bargain, and ac-
cuses him of bad faith, because he did not defray all
the expenses of the disputed election ; though these,
instead of amounting to two, might very possibly have
amounted to ten thousand pounds ! The oharge is a
most preposterous one, but considering that the SHE-
RIFF intends it as something very grave and damnatory,
we are surprised he did not bring it forward long ore
this. How is it that he has allowed his virtuous in-
dignation to he bottled up for nearly four months ?
Surely his sense of wrong could not have been very
acute, if lie could allow it to slumber for so long a
period ! We cannot but think that his letter
redounds more to his own disadvantage than Mr.
O'CoNNELL's—though we will grant that the latter
acted rashly and thoughtlessly throughout the business
we find the Sheriff giving the substance of a let-
tot, Whii3blooexpreasly states as having been written to
him in the strictest confidence, and having been . ,
re-
ceived as such ! By the way who first stirred tne
business ? Was it not Mr. RAPII-An who made
Op first appl4vign lid CI'CoNNELL for a seat?

slow oven, and serve them up with the syrup.",
