DEPARTURE OF MR. O'CONNELL FOR LONDON,

He will be accompanied by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P.,

ADDRESS FROM MR. O'CONNELL ON HIS DE-

PARTURE.
The following address from Mr. O'Connell appears in the
Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon

" TO THE PEOPLE OP IRELAND.

" Merrion-square, Feb. 13, 1844.
" Fellow-countrymen,—ln addressing the Association yes-
terday, I stated that it was my intention not to attend the
discussion upon Lord John Russell's motion. Since that
time I have formed a better opinion of the views with which
that motion is brought forward. Besides, it now seems to
me quite clear that there may occur in the course of the
debate some topics which it would be desirable that I should
be present to elucidate.
"Again, it has occurred to me that it is my duty to attend
once more in my place in the House of Commons, and to
protest, in the name of the Catholic people of Ireland,
against the attempt made—and in this instance, I think,
successfully made—by the Attorney-General, to repeal the
most beneficial part of the Emancipation Act—namely, that
which professed to secure for us fair and impartial trial by
jury.
" Indeed, the exclusion of Catholics from the jury list, and
the omission (which it is impossible to believe could be ac-
cidental) of one-tenth of the names in the jury panel, involve
considerations of 'sb important a nature as to render it, in
ntr imperative duty firmly to protest, in the
presence of the British Parliament, against proceedings of
so unjustifiable a nature.
" Upon the whole, therefore, I have determined to sail for
England this evening. It is not that lam so foolish as to
expect redress from the Tory majority in the British House
of Commons, as at present constituted ; but that ie. no reason
why I should not bring another instance of English injus-
tice towards Ireland before the British people and the civilised
world.

"My stay in England will be but short. I leave the
people of Ireland in determined peace and tranquillity ; and
I have the fullest confidence that they will persevere in
that tranquillity until my -return, which will be in a few
days. In the meantime, I earnestly recommend the conti-
nuance of all legal measures' for forwarding the sacred cause
of the repeal.
" I hope the Irish Members will muster strong on the
present debate.
" I am, your ever faithful and devoted servant,
"DANIEL O'CONNELL."
