(SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch.

The county of Tipperary happening just now
to be in an unusually tranquil state, the local
Magistrates have thought fit to assemble in sage
and solemn conclave, and.declare their conviction
that such unaccustomed tranquillity in a district,
which is not itself unless it be in a high state of
effervescence, is exclusively owing to the tem-
perate and judicious administration of Earl
DE GREY. They have accordingly ad-
dressed his Lordship on the subject,
who in his official reply, has thus coolly appro-
priated to himself all the merit of having tran-
quillised the county in question :—" I am truly
gratified to receive the testimony of the local
Magistracy, as to the present state of Tipperary,
and their approval of the measures which, in their
judgment, conduced to it. The line of my duty
appeared to me to be clear, and I had no scruple in
adopting- it, and although the appointment of the
Special Commission did not; at the time, give satis-
faction to all parties, the result has, I think, am-
ply demonstrated the propriety of the measure."
There is a self-complacency. in these remarks
that is exceedingly entertaining and edifying.
Will his Lordship be kind enough to point out
what particular measures he adopted to pacify
Tipperary ? What was the - express course
of policy he pursued to reconcile those who
were habituated to the considerate and kindly
Government of a NORMANBY and an EBRINGTON,
to the Tory Administration of aDE GREY ? He
cannot, and he knows he cannot ; for his policy,
as regards Ireland, has ever been tame and tem-
porising, trimming between two influential par-
ties, and acquiring, as might be anticipated, the.
confidence of neither. Earl DE GREY is just
tolerated as an English Viceroy, and no more.
The Liberals uniformly distruSt him—the Orange-
men alternately applaud and abuse him. What-
ever trifling amount of benefit he has conferred
on the country subject to his sway, he has con-
ferred-only-by following in the footsteps of his
immediate predecessors. As for his tranquillis-
ing Tipperary, the idea is ridiculous. It is the
Catholic Priests, aided by Father MATHEW, and
the local Temperance Societies established by
him, that have accomplished this desired object;
and in taking the credit of it to himself, Earl DE
GREY shows that he is by no means wanting in
that intzepid effrontery which is said to be pecu-
liar to those who have been baptised in the.
waters of the Shannon.

The violent and rabid- attacks on England
which appear almost daily in French journals,
. falsely assuming the title of Liberal, greatly
embarrass the French Ministry, and raise insur-
mountable obstacles to the establishment of
friendly relations between the two countries..
The only lessons taught the people are to hate
the " felon Government" of England, 'to hate M.
GUIZOT, the servant of foreigners, to call for
!urge fleets and large armies, as if the nation was
on thehrink of war ; and in fine to regard them=
selves as , humbled and disgraced, till they have
eclipsed the - untoward events of 1814 and
.1815
ley new and splendid victories. The English
journals seldoM notice these mischievous arti.-
des, but so far from allaying their rage,
the contempt with which the . writers are
treated only urges them on to still greater
I :nadness. For the sake of the French them-
selves, however, as well as fbr ' the. general
peace of the world, it would be well for these
I persons to consider calmly, if they can bring
themselves to such a state, what they could gain
by acontest, and whether England is not fully as
powefful now as she was at any one period of the
long war. They might also inquire whether
France has so many friends, or rather unwilling
allies, as she had under the iron reign
of NAPOLEON. Could she expect assist-
ance from outraged Spain, or the German
Confederation that responded as one man to the
war-cry of 1840, or to Austria and Russia, who
barely acknowledge the new dynasty, and regaid
with a jealous eye the restless and aggres-
sive spirit of her people ? The GRAND SULTAN,
if he could be of any use, would rather
side with the Power that restored Syria to
the Porte, and MEuEmET ALL would hesitate
before he threw himself a stcond time
into the arms of France. We have settled
some affairs of importance with the United
States, and besides, the Government and people
of that Republic know that the repudiating
system has alienated the two countries not a
little, and would prevent any cordial union. On
casting our eyes, therefore, over the map of the
world, we can discover only one nation that
would willingly join with France against
England, but unfortunately the people. are not
very warlike, the SOVEREIGN is jealous of
foreigners, and would rather purchase peace with
this country than
.run the risk of having, his em-
pire invaded by two hostile nations. Would
French commerce be increased, would her few
colonies in the West Indies be more secure, and
would even her splendid fleet be an over-match
for that of England ? These are questions which
should be answered before the firebrands of
Paris drive two great nations to war. What has
England done to France to justify the abuse
which is heaped upon her, or to warrant -French-
men in calling upon the Canadians to throw off
the dominion of the Mother country ? In the
same reckless and pitiful spirit one. journal an-
nounced, on Tuesday, that the reductions in the
French navy had been effected at the in-
stigation of the English, and ludicrously
proclaimed that the " splendid . Mediter-
ranean fleet which caused the British
Government so much fear, had ceased to exist."
The writer ought to remember that they once
had another splendid Mediterranean fleet which
ceased to exist, not at Toulon or Brest, but at
the mouth of the Nile. It is only waste of time,
however, to argue with such men; but if they
persevere in their wicked purposes, we may per-
haps return to the subject, and give them some
more information in a chapter entitled "Steam- I
ships of war."

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10th
inst. The Minister of Finance was said to have
already prepared the Budget of 1843, in which
the deficit was only estimated at 20,000,000 reals
(200,0001.) Senor CALATRAVA was still anxious
to obtain from the Cortes an extraordinary con-
tribution of 300,000,000 reals, which he intended
applying to the payment of the contractors,
without drawing on the receipts of the State.
According to the Eco del Comercio, the Cortes
will speedily be dissolved, should the Congress
present the same physiognomy as during the last
session, a case which appears probable.

The anniversary of the 7th of October was
celebrated at Valencia, Murcia, Carthagena, the
Asturias, and Gallicia, with perfect order, in de-
spite of the sinister predictions of the Moderados.
The Three per Cents. were done at 21 for cash,
and 21i I at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at
261 and 26,i 15-16th at 60 days.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednes-
day, which contain various articles on the pro-

posed treaty with Belgium, the Right of Search,
and the prosperous state of the French mann-,
factures. The reductions made in the Navy also
form a topic for dis:ussion, and call forth from
the National the subjoined grievous lamentation.
England, of course, and the Minister of the
Foreigner, have been the cause of all the mis-
chief, for nothing injurious or humiliating can
happen to France but through the wicked machi-
nations and crooked policy of this country.
‘' England," says this journal, " ought to rejoice
and return thanks to our Ministers. Our splendid
Mediterranean fleet, which caused the British
Government so much fear—that fleet, so capable
of protecting our threatened interests, and of de-
fending our honour, which has been compro-
mised—that fleet which cost us so much time
and money, and which an imperious vote of the
Chamber of Deputies seemed to have preserved
from complete destruction—has ceased to exist.
' France has no longer a fleet,' exclaims the
Toulonnais, and that journal is right, for the
name of fleet cannot be given to some ships de-
prived of life, which Admiral HUGON is supposed
still•to command. The general disarming—this
disastrous measure, which the bad feeling
always displayed by the present Ministry
towards our navy bad caused us to foresee, and
which we announced long since—is at present' an
act completed. England could not bear that we
should have a fleet, and our navy has been sacri-
ficed to her jealousy. This deed would have
been accomplished sooner if the Ministry of the
Foreigner, who ever act as if they had received a
commission to consummate the ruin of our navy,
had not had their reasons to proceed slowly and
secretly in their work of destruction."
The Paris Moniteur publishes a despatch from
General DE BAR, dated Algiers, the 15th inst.,
giving an account of General BUGEAUD'S move-
; ments down to the 13th, when he was encamped
on the banks of the Isser, in the country of the
Beni-Kraoult Toun. BEN SALEM had collected
the warriors of six Kabyle tribes, and was pre-
' paring to attack the expedition, when the Gene-
ral, being informed of his intention, marched to
the place where the Arabs bad assembled, and
dispersed them in every direction.• No accounts
had been received from General LAMORICIERE
since the 6th, when he was in possession of Teke-
dempt.
The Moniteur Algerien of the 17th announces
the return of General BUGEAUD and his staff to
Algiers on the morning of the 16th. " The ob-
ject of the expedition to the East," it says, " has
been completely accomplished by the destruc-
tion of the government of BEN SALEM. Here-
after that rich country, in which our troops had,
not yet penetrated, will send abundant provi-
sions of every description to the market of
Algiers."

The Siecle states that General PAJOL had de-
clined accepting the post of Aid-de-Camp to the
KING, left vacant by the death of Gem DELA-
BORDE and the Commerce states that it would,
in all probability, be given to Baron TRIANT, a
General in the National Guard of Paris.

A great meeting of persons interested in the
woollen trade was to take place at Compeigne,
on the 24th instant, and a meeting of Deputies
had taken place at Paris, on Tuesday, at M.
FuLcinnoN's; to consider the best means of re-
sisting the Customs' Union with Belgium. The
two Governments, in fact, may as well give up
the project at once, for the selfish class-interests
of France will not suffer any interference with
their property, however necessary it may be for
the good of the community. The Commerce
thus describes the proceedings and the result of
the ineeting:—" The main argument was, that
Belgian industry could supply everything for
consumption in France, whilst the consumption
in Belgium had nothing to take in return of
French productions. The Assembly was una-
nimous that the union would be productive
of serious injury to the material interests
of France. The Commerce asserts that De-
puties of the maritime cities, as well as of the
manufacturing districts, were against the
treaty, as the former feared the competition of
Antwerp and Ostend, connected as they were by
railroads with the French frontiers. The con-
duct of GRIDAINE, the Minister of
Commerce, in opposing the treaty, was warmly
approved of by this meeting, which finally came
to three resolutions; first, that each Deputy
should endeavour to represent the dangerous
state' of things, if the • Miniaterial projects were
carried into execution, to the Throne, as the firs;
duty towards' the Crown and the country;
Secendly, that each Deputy should put himself
in communication vdth the legal representatives
of 'commerce and industry of the place he repre-
.vented to be an organ in Paris of their interests;
and finally, that the Deputies would act in concert
with an assembly of various Delegates convoked
in Paris for the sth of November. The meeting
then adjourned to the 2d of November.

These meetings give great offence to "Al
THIERW_ organ, the. Courrier Francais, which is
a free-trading and anti-protection journal. It is
curious to remark that this Liberal newspaper
denounces the assemblies of manufacturers and
traders as iilegal and unconstitutional. It con-
tends that the Charter is violated by these meet-
ings—an opinion, however, which is not shared
by another organ of M. TITTERS, the Constitu-
tionnel.

The official organ, the Messager, thus points
out the effect on the linen trade of France by
the ordounance of June, and the decrease in the
importation of coals since last August. In July
the entries of flax were 1,319,600 kilogrammes;
in August only 413,349 kilogrammes, a decrease
already of more than two-thirds. In nearly
three years, the monthly importation was
only twice under this figure, and this year
it had constantly exceeded a million of kilo-
grammes. In September the import was only
239,085 kilogrammes. This result proves that
the ordonnance of 26th June is freeing the
flax industry from the excess of importa-
tion under which it was succumbing. The
importation of linens has also, experienced a de-
creaSe in the same month. In August it
amounted to 329,347 kil., and last month was
only 234,735 kil. The importation of coal has
much decreased. We have duly imported last
month 43,698 tons, and in July it was 210,000,
and in August 83,037 tons. The receipts in the
Treasury were, last month, 8,796,825 f., and the
total amount for the three-quarters just com-
pleted, 79,321,923 f., and if the same ratio be kept
up for the ensuing quarter, the receipts for the
year will exceed the estimates of the budget."

INDISPOSITION OF LORD MELDOURNR.—This morn-
ing numerous inquiries were made at the town resi-
dence of the Noble Viscount, as to the state of his
Lordship's health, when the following intelligence
was given :—" South-street, Grosvenor-square, Friday
morning, Oct. 28, 1842.—The accounts received in
town this morning are of a very favourable nature,
and his Lordship is fast recovering from his late
severe attack."

The Prussian State Gazette of the 21st instant an-
nounces that the proceeds of the reductions about to
be effected in the taxes, and which are to be applied
to the construction of
rrailroads, would amount to
1,920,000 rix-dollars. The railroads which the Go-
vernment contemplated to establish Ivere independent

sion had been made. One of these was to extend
from Minden to Cologne ; a second from Halle to-
wards the central Rhine through Thuringia; a third
from Berlin to Konigsberg, with a branch road to
Dantzic, and another to the Russian frontier ; a
fourth, from Frankfort-on-the-Oder to Breslau, and
from Oppeln to the Austrian
,frontier; and a fifth,
which is to connect the Qrand Duchy of Posen with

Prussia, through Silesia. The r whole extent Will be

The Leipsic Gazette gives the following letter from
Hamburgh of the 16th inst.:—" We have received
intelligence from Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian ves -
sel the Ermelinda, Captured some time ago by Eng
Eng-
lish cruisers, has been declared by the Mixed
mission not to be a good prize, and was released ac
cordingly. The public officer whose duty it was to
report on this matter, stated that the English, after
they had possession of the Ermelinda, carried secretly:
on board of her chains and fetters, in order to afford
proof that she was engaged in the slave-trade. On
July 15th accounts were received at Rio Janeiro
through St. Helena that the English ships Madagas-
car and Waterwitch had landed their crews at thde,
port of Cabenda, on the African coast, and carrie
away by force the negroes and merchandise at those
factories. In the night of the 21st of May the Eng
lish made a similar attempt at Port Ambriz,,,,and canr-
ried away 1,200 negroes to the Antilles. Tile cfLrci
fain of an American vessel from Angola confrn_t
this account, adding, that the factories were bn.r"_,,
down. In fact, according to the terms of the treatief.
no vessel should be stopped within three miles from
the coast, nor has any one a right to land on
forei
shore and destroy what may be found upon it."
