the Prussian State Gazette contains some
Ore bulletins of the itussian army, the last of
v'llieh will be found in another column. It will be
seen by it, that the Russians, instead of having
sustained a complete defeat, as an Evening Paper,
11tich works up such bouncing things as a sort
14'bait for Country readers, asserts, have actually
btained great advantages. The Russians admit
that in their endeavours to occupy some

they met, as might be expected, with some
Spirited opposition from the Turks. But there
was nothing wonderful in that. The Tutrks
wailed, and the Russians repelled the assault,
thereby securing their important position ; and
that forms the all " important defeat of the
'tßussians,; according to the Gentleman who read
a French Paper." Ye Gods, what shuffling
t'icks to gain popularity ! The desire may be
laudable,
but the means are despicable. Let

It must afford sincere gratification to the
friends of civil and religious liberty to observe
by Mr. DAWSON'S honest speech, that Minis-
-145, belying the tone of their too.zealous advo—
ate; are determined to conciliate Ireland. This
ilisPosition we collect from various circumstances ;
4" from nothing more than that some of the
triost violent clamourers against Ireland have
already ceased their rage, and have grown calm.
If voce the Duke of WELLINGTON himself
Were to declare boldly in favour of the Irish
(!athulics, and he has no other course which he
can safely pursue, how quickly would we see the
Whole servile race of Ministerial flatterers wheeling
tound. How rapidly would they put about on
k contrary tack, and spread all their sails to catch
the shifting gale of Ministerial favour. But it
of little moment to note the ridiculous ma-
hceuvres of those who follow no steady course of
principle, but who fashion their doctrines to please
ethers. It is of more consequence to watch the
movements and opinions of those, on whose de-
depends the fate of nations and the peace
°I the country ; and we hail with unmixed joy
the dawning of that auspicious policy which is
14 quiet Ireland ; which is to put an end to the
4iell of faction, and to reconcile a whole
station into the firm bond of a friendly
44ion. We repeat that Ministers have no other
I,_slll'ae which they can safely pursue ; the Duke of
VYtt.LINGTON is well apprised of this important
Itilth; and we have little doubt that he is anxious
t° clear away the difficulties that yet stand in the
14Y of a-friendly arrangement with the Irish
Catholics. It is evidently the wish of the ene-
t4les of this body to irritate and provoke them ;
!NI) if possible, to goad them on to violence and
FOIIY, and thus to mature discontent into actual
41'ellion. But it is clear that 'Ministers are de-
aaainst such crooked and base designs,
'lltl the Catholics are too wary to be caught in
ttql a dangerous snare—they arc seeking consti-
:ltional objects by constitutional means—the
W and the Constiution form the strength of
'ir case ; they feel that they are daily working
eir way to the desired haven of their wishes--
4,e
ea!t cause is daily gaining strength—they have
heir side ; while their opponents resort to such
l'erable fooleries about the Protestant princi-
'e of the Constitution, as if oppression of other
;tet
L Was a Protestant principle, that it is evident
their case is hopeless. They are driven fairly

the field of argument ; and were they not
et
Ei ('ked by influence, their effusions of exploded
klodice would only excite pity. Indeed, it is
pc
this special case that these prejudices are still
.41'tt alive. If it were once decided—if the
14 holies were once admitted to an equal enjoy-
of civil rights with their Protestant fellow
Jects, we should hear no more of this shallow
ouiPeb6try about distinctions in civil society on
grounds of religious difference ; or of our
o~eroment being Protestant, and therefore
f:d to grasp at all the good things for this
4 °llred sect, to the exclusion of all others. It
111 artier to uphold this solitary case of prac-
ti,
al intolerance that the follies of past ages are

ee, from which they should long ago have
