who no sooner received a memorial from certain par

ties in the county, than he instantly reinstated the
inan who, but a few months before, he had declared
to be too much of an invalid to discharge his
inagisterial functions with the requisite spirit and
ability ? Some of the parties, we should ob-
serve, who signed this memorial, lived at a distance
of fifty miles from Skibbereen ; knew nothing of the
feelings of the people whom Mr. O'DRIscoLL had
Jutragcd ; and most probably had never seen that
4entleman in their lives; and vet it was on the
personal intercession of such men, which should
not have been allowed the slightest weight,
that a magistrate, notoriously obnoxious and
ignorant of his duties, was replaced on the
bench ! Lord ELIOT and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, both
of whom undertook the defence of the Lord Chan-
cellor, male but sorry work of it; the litter, in par-
. ticular, finding that plain prose was not sufficitntly
dignified for the occasion, had recourse to the lan •
guage of poetry, and quoted a panegyrical pas-
sage from DRYDEN'S " Absalom and Achitophel,"
which had every earthly recommendation,
except that it had nothing at all to do with
the case in point. This affair of 01DRiscorn. will
not easily be forgotten in Ireland, affording, as
it does, another striking proof of how little import-
ance the due administration of justice is considered
by the official authorities of that kingdom. Under
the flagrant circumstances of the case, Mr. O'Dais-
com., having been once superseded, should never after-
wards have been replaced on the bench; and his re-
appointment can be looked on in no better light than
as a mockery of the popular feelings of the county.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Liverpool arrived at Southampton on the 22d from
Gibraltar; her dates of departure are—Gibraltar,
July 14th; Cadiz, 15th; Lisbon, 17th; Oporto,
19th ; and Vigo, 19th. Ships of war lying
at Gibraltar—Her Majesty's ship Warspite ;
French steamer Veloce. Cadiz—French line-of-
battle-ships Jemmappes, Triton, Suffren ; frigate La
Belle Poule; steamers Asmodee, Pluton, Gassendi ;
Danish frigates Thetis and Gefion ; frigate, name
unknown. The Montrose arrived at Lisbon
July 16, at four P.M. The intelligence from
Lisbon is not important. The letting of the tobacco
contract has been fixed for the 20th of September,
and by the terms, which have received the royal
sanction, all European capitalists are invited to com-
pete, and the term of twelve years has been specified
for the running of the contract. Effective measures
are announced for the suppression of smuggling, and
a cordial co-operation in discountenancing all preju-
dice to the contractors is stipulated on the part of the
Government. The Finance Minister had contrived
to raise a little money to meet pressing wants.

Accounts from Madrid of the 16th announce that
the atrocious executions which had been carried into
effect in Arragon and Catalonia had excited the
greatest public indignation, which might ultimately
cause the downfal of the despotic and cruel Ministry.
Even some of the Government journals condemn
these unjustifiable acts of cruelty. General MAunt,
who is to command the troops now on their march
to the south, had arrived at Algesiras. The Dutch
squadron reached Gibraltar on the 6th, and son days
afterwards left for the coast of Morocco.
The Spanish Fun‘ds were lower on the 16th. The
Three per Cents. were done at 26; for cash, and
26;1 at sixty days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20i
for the 31st inst.

We find no news of much interest in thel Paris
papers. The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes ac-
counts from Algiers, in a letter dated the 16th inst.,
which announces that Marshal BuGEAUD, prbvoked
by the general conduct of the Moors, and especially
the treacherous attack of the 3d, was concentrating
all his forces, and preparing to make against them a
definitive demonstration. The measures the Marshal
was taking induced a belief that he would Shortly
assume the offensive. Some even said that he con-
templated attacking the Moorish camp on the follow-
ing night. The Sentinelle de Toulon states that the
object of the Prince DE JOINvILLE's visit to Gibraltar
was to request the Governor not to allow the British
squadron to proceed to Tangiers, and that Sir 10nuax
WILSON had acceded to the request. .A circuststance
not very likely, for we find accounts from Barcelona
that the Formidable, accompanied by a steamer, had
sailed from Gibraltar on the 16th, as was understood,
for the coast of Morocco, probably Tangiers. The
National, in an article written with some ecie, and
with the usual hostile spirit towards Englan , con-
trasts the course adopted by the French Government
at Algiers with that of England after the vicitory of
Lord EXMOUTH. After adverting to some remarks
made on the subject in the English journals, the wri-
ter thus continues :

- -
" England appeared to comprehend that there was for her
a sort of moral necessity to repress the insolence of the Alge-
rines, and that the only means of arriving at the complete

abolition of the slavery of the blacks was first to abolish the
slavery of the whites. But she still hesitated, and it was
necessary, in order to overcome her irresolutiona, for the
example of the rigorous undertaking of the American
squadron under the orders of Captain Decatur, to excite
her pride. It is only then,' says N. Charles de Rota-
her, in his history of Algiers, that this Power determined
to intervene in the difficulties which the Algerine Govern-
ment caused to the kingdoms of Sardinia and of Naples,
and in April, 1816, Lord Exmouth arrived before Algiers at
the head of a fleet of twenty-five sail, of which six were
ships of the line. But, appearing above all, desirous of
showing consideration to the interests of the regency, he only
imposed on it in favour of the powers which England took
under her protection—conditions but little advantageous
and little honourable. Naples, in particular, had to com-
plain of the treaty which was then concluded for her.' Such
are the results of the appearance of Lord Exmouth before Al-
giers. We have seen how the English mention the benedic-
tion of the liberated Christians. A month later, Lord Exmouth
appeared again before Algiers. This time, fortunately for the
Christian slaves, he was grossly insulted by the Algerines ; the
English Consul was arrested, and his wife and children were
most shamefully dragged through the streets. Oran, Bona,
and Calle, were ensanguined with the murder of several Bri-
tish subjects. Then the honour of England was at stake,
and she determined to act at last with vigour against these
bandits, whom she had hitherto treated with such conside-
ration. The details of the affair are known, as well as the
magnificent audacity of Lord Exmouth—audacity wonder-
fully favoured, besides, by the incredible ignorance of the
Turkish gunners. But,' says again the historian whom
we have already quoted, the glory of the English would
be greater if the reproach could not be brought against
them of not having done enough. Political men remarked
at this period, that Lord Exmouth, in the very terms of
his report, had simply received instructions to burn the
Algerine vessels ; and that, being able to constrain this
barbarous Government to destroy its fortification, and to
renounce for ever its piracies, he had simply stipulated
for an advantageous peace for himself and Holland, and
the abolition of slavery. To add to her preponderance in
Europe by this striking action, to avenge her own injuries,
and still show consideration to a Power which might thence-
forward be subject to her, was the calculation of England.'
It is seen by this how far England is entitled to boast of her
disinterestedness, and incriminate our ambition. She did
not retain an inch of ground in Algeria, it is true, but she
had reserved to herself better than that. She had thence.
forward under her hand a band of robbers, whom she could
at any time let loose upon all the commercial navies. We
acted differently, it must be allowed. After having bom-
barded Algiers, we have kept Algeria ; but piracy exists no
longer, the Mediterranean is free at present for everybody,
and the whole of Christendom is relieved from these shame-
ful tributes, which nearly every country paid to a chief of
robbers. If we were to act in the same way at present with
respect to Morocco, who could complain ? England alone.
But, decidedly, all the Christian Powers which are still in
the present day the tributaries of this Government would
applaud its fall, and would thank us for our victory."
