EXPEDITION TO THE MOREA.

TOULON, AUG. 13.—Since yesterday the prep
rations for the sailing of the expedition have bee,
carried on with double activity. Already five rer
ments of infantry are embarked, and the orders fool
Paris having become more pressing, General Mais°l3,
has expressed the intention of sailing on the morni*
of the 16th, without waiting for the 3d Chasseors,
which had only been directed to reach Toulon by the
18th, but to which fresh orders had been sent to ar•
rive here by forced marches.
Sailors and soldiers all are in high glee and spirits'
They know very well they are going to a country
where there is nothing to get, but all are please:
with the object of the expedition. This city is
filled with soldiers and visitors, that no lodgings tir
to be found, and many families are yet expected ftc
Marseilles to witness the departure of the expecii.
tion. Mr. Feburier, the engineer from Samos, iailed
this morning, on board the brig of war Le Rose.

Ville de Marseilles, with Mr. Vollant,and the Chle'

his brigade, which will also promptly set sail. , r
It is known, says the Courrier Francais, 23)!e

we published yesterday, the fleet sailed on the o'l.

PROGRESS OF MR. LAWLESS.—Dn°°:
nenA, AUG. 18.-011 this day Mr. LAWLESS visited, t
three following parishes, in each of which he was tectiv_A
-e
7
with the most unbounded enthusiam :—He first went "-
the parish of Duleek, south-west of Drogheda about ails't
four miles. He was received by all the respectable
bitauts, whom he addressed. The result of the addreq
was an immediate subscription of 251., which, with Abet
will be collected between this and Saturday, will he re;
mitted to the Secretary of the Catholic Association. It
expected that 401. will be the consequence of this visit.'
He then drove to the parish of Blacklion, about four !Oil°
further on, and there he met a large and respectable 31:
dience. His reception was equally warm, and the O'T;
of his appeal equally prosperous. The meeting brong.,"i
up to the altar 221., and there is no doubt they will a°,
considerably more. He then went to the pariabes
Rathfy and Screen, and was equally well received'''.
Churchwardens were nominated in each parish, and the
Rent organised in the most effectal manner. We found ix;
all the parishes we visited, including Drogheda, that there
was no system—no organization--no Churchwardens ap-
pointed. In Drogheda there was one appointed by the
Clergy, but on Sunday last the two were regularly al)**
pointed. To-day Mr. LAwr,xss goes to Slane and lia'nthil'
and there is little doubt his reception in both places will 'A
as he could wish. The foundation-stone of an Indepen-
dent Club, for the county Meath, was laid in the parish °f
Duleek. Mr. LAWLESS has, I believe, succeeded in extir;
pating that baneful confederacy, called Ribbonmen,
had crept into those parishes. His admonitions respecting
the established authorities, and appeal to the laws far re-
dress, were powerfully and eloquently enforced at
mination of each tneeting. The mission of Mr. Lsawl'"
as
was enthusiastically cheered. In my last to you I omitte
to mention that Mr. LAWLESS pledged himself he would
prosecute Sir GEORGE HILL, for defamation of his chg.:
racter, as it appeared in the Evening Mail. Why shOuld
the old man subject himself to such chastisement ?----Dab.

Attn. 20.—The reconciliation between the " factions

A few instances, in addition to those stated it) a former
letter, I shall mention. At Crown, in the county of
Cork, on the 15th, there was held what they call

festival, in honour of the Saint of the day, at a spot 030'
serrated in the traditions of the people by some holy'
well, or by the ruins of some ancient church or abbot''
erected in honour of the patron. At these places the pol'
santry assemble in great numbers from all the surroundill
country, souse for devotional purposes, but generally
a view to recreation and pleasure,—something, I sbo

suppose, like an English wake, but on a scale afar gveas
magnitude. There has always been at these assemblies 1,
abundance of singing, dancing, and drinking; and scares'
did any of them ever terminate without that almost cc'''
stant concomitant, and part and parcel, as it would sea::
f Irish pleasure—fighting. These were the arena:cal
which the " Moll Doyles and Padeen Gars," the tbt,
ravats and Shanavests," the " Dungans and Hackets,
Three-years Old and the Four-years Old" decided, or die
