IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
The speech of Lord Ellenborough and the com-
ments upon it by the journals have had the effect of
raising in Ireland the feeling of discontent at being
excluded from the Volunteer movement. The so-
ciety formedin this city last year, with the object of
getting this stigma upon the country removed, has
shown some signs of resuscitation. Lord Massereene
and Ferrard has written a letter to the Secretary,
in which he says he cannot but express the regret
and surprise he felt the other day when, on return-
ing from a lengthened absence abroad, he found the
Volunteer movement in Ireland had in no way pro-
gressed. He had communicated with some mem-
bers of the Government, even when abroad, " re-
specting the injustice and folly of refusing to coun-
tenance the establishment of Volunteers in this part
of the kingdom, but with no satisfactory result."
His lordship considers that it is a slight that Ire-
land should no longer bear ; " to have to expatriate
themselves before they can be trusted to take part
in the defence of their hearths and homes." The
time is much more favourable for the consideration
of the subject now than it was a year or two ago.
There is scarcely a whisper of disaffection in any
part of the country. The conduct of Louis Napo-
leon towards the Pope seems to have extinguished
the desire of the anti-English and Ultramontane
party for a French invasion, and the hope of aid
from America has vanished entirely from the minds
even of ignorant Phoenix men. Time has dissipated
the illusions of the most ill-conditioned fanatics,
who once got themselves drilled among the Kerry
mountains for the purpose of breaking the yoke of
England. But if the Volunteer movement is to be
extended to Ireland, the question must be taken up
by parties to whom all classes of the community can
look up with confidence.

A case of pauper deportation, in which it is al-
leged the recent Act of Parliament has been grossly
violated, is now occupying the attention of the Poor-
Law Commissioners. A woman, named Mary Flana-
gan, with her three children, was sent on a removal
warrant from Preston to Dundalk, which, the soli-
citor of the Dundalk Guardians contends, was ille-
gally done. The woman was born in the parish of
Newry, whence she was taken by her parents to
Preston 17 years ago, where she remained ever since,
employed in a cotton-mill. She was married in 1853
to a fellow-worker, who enlisted in
1858, when his
wife was obliged to apply to the guardians for relief,
which she received. Subsequently got employment
in Manchester and Bishop Auckland, where she had
a child born, got some relief, and was sent back to
Preston, and she remained for ten days in the
workhouse, whence she was sent to Ireland under an
order of removal by two a
etweremagistrates.

Guardians, as it should have been, nor was a copy
of it sent to the clerk cf the board as the act directs.
These are the allegations which are under the consi-

A few days ago the announcement was confi-
dently made that England, France, and Spain
were about to intervene in Mexico. Not to settle
the Government of that distracted country, nor to
give their support to either of the two parties
which are now contending for supremacy, but
merely to enforce the just claims of their respective
subjects, who have suffered not merely from the
guerilla bands and brigands which infest the
country, but from the gross negligence, and in one
conspicuous instance from the violence of the party
which happened to be in power. Our Consul's
flag was not held sacred by the wretch MIRAMON,
who represents the Priest party there, and the
dividends of bondholders were actually taken from
his custody. In such a state of things it was surely
high time for Sovereigns to look after their subjects'
. , .

interests.
The Morning Post was, we believe, the first to
announce that the three countries concerned intended
to act jointly in exacting reparation. The Patrie,
on the part of France, immediately contradicted the
statement ; on what authority is not known. As,
however, the opposite statements of the French
and English papers produced corresponding
activity in buying and selling Mexican bonds in
Paris, we may guess the inspiration of the Patrie.
There is, however, every reason to believe that the

Post was right, and that the plan sketched by it is
that which is at present in contemplation. That
plan is to take pretty secure" material guarantees"
for the payment of all claims of the subjects of the
three Powers. Several of the principal sea-
ports, those at which Customs duties are
levied, will be taken possession of by
the allied squadrons. Their Consuls will receive
the dues—half the amount will be handed over to
the Mexican Government to keep it going, the
other half will be divided, as collected, rateably
amongst those who prove their claims on the Go-
vernment. Thp arrangement will continue till all.
liabilities are discharged. Of course, it is assumed
that there will be no war. Without a navy, and
with a fore.: but small, in comparison with what
could be easily landed on the coast, the Mexi-
cans, even if they were more united, could not
think of resisting. In their actual state there is
no chance of it. We have already twenty-six
vessels of war, carrying five hundred guns, and
manned by 6,500 men, on the station.' No more
therefore will be needed by us. But even in the case
of resistance by the Mexican authorities, we
should probably prefer the quiet method of
blockade to needless bloodshed. It would merely
require a little longer time, and possibly not even
that.

If we are to believe one of our contemporaries,
the Governments have been polite enough to ascer-
tain that Mr. PRESIDENT LINCOLN does not object.
It seems, indeed, that United States subjects have
as much to complain of as Europeans from the
Mexican Government. Be that as it may, we re-
pudiate altogether the slightest necessity for any
regard to the impudent MUNROE doctrine. It was
as proper to ask the co-operation, active or moral,
of the United States, as of either of the other Go-
vernments. That was but the courtesy due to an
adjacent and an interested party. Bat the MUNROE
doctrine of the interdiction of European Govern-
ments from such action as they may deem necessary
in America,even to the permanent occupation of terri-
tory, because they were Europeans we treat as apiece
of Republican brag. It is little likely that Eng-
land will ever wish to add to her possessions in the
New World, but we wish Americans to understand
that, should wholly unforeseen events bring us into
actual collision with Mexico or any State in Cen-
tral America, and should our policy lead us to de-

nand a cession of territory there, we should no
more think of asking the leave of Mr. LINCOLN or
of any of his successors, than the Americans did of
asking ours in their nefarious annexation of Texas,
and hardly more excusable annexation after the
Mexican war. We should laugh at any silly chatter
about " manifest destiny"—which indeed just now
is not very " manifest"—and assuredly we should
take our own course.
It is curious to see how the old story comes up
everywhere, of Complications arising out of cleri-
cal pretensions. One is tempted to think that the
business of Government would be expedited if
all priests could be ballooned off to the moon, leav-
ing sublunary folk to settle sublunary matters.
In Mexico the two parties are the liberal and
the priest parties; and Spain, from bigotry and
policy combined, France, from policy alone, lean
to the priests. As there is no hope of the priests
waking the lunar voyage, the only thing England
can do is to let the two parties go on fighting it out
as best they may, andtorequirsehooufldtheabtswtaoinprfireosmt-

the opportunity of making the POPE as indepen-
dent_ as they please. Since being personally inde-
pendent, he will need only wealth to be much more
Pontifically independent than he now is.
Even the Cardinals are cared for. Roman
Catholicism is likely to become something like
catholic, so far as the proposed arrangements go.
At present, we believe, Italy gets the lion's share
in the conclave, and in the temporal keeping of an
Italian King such an abuse might seem likely to be
perpetuated. It is therefore expressly provided
that "the POPE will be allowed to choose as
much as possible his Cardinals from among the
different nations, according to the proportion of
Catholics. An annual allowance of will
be given by each nation to the Cardinals belong-
ing to that nation. Each Catholic nation to give
a certain number of guards of honour, chosen by
the Legate of the POPE, and kept at the expense
of each country. During the election of the POPE

distance of —• The King of ITALY takes the
solemn engagement towards the Governments and
people to protect the person of the POPE and the
independence of the Holy See."
Englishmen and Protestants generally will think
this an excellent bargain for the POPE, and will
wonder if he does not at once accept it. If it be,
indeed, as we incline to think it is, substantially,
perhaps literally authentic, we might well suppose
that the Imperial Interloper let it appear to pre-
pare the public for the creation of his tyrannical
occupation of another nation's capital.
Our contemporary finishes his quotations and
observations as follows :—" Thus, the pamphlet
concludes, the conditions laid down by the EM-
PEROR for the withdrawal of the French troops
will be fulfilled. These words are—' France will
occupy Rome until sufficient guarantees have been
given for the interests which led her there.' It
may be as well to add that a belief prevails that
the propositions set forth in the pamphlet are those
which Baron RICASOLI has intimated in a confi-
dential communication to the Cabinet of the Tulle.
