BELFAST ADDRESS.

MR. EDITOR-When Alderman Woon assured
TIER MAJESTY of the warmth of the People of
England in her favour, I hope he dicl not increase
his mistake by saying any thing about•the People
of Ireland ; if he did, he must,
:haw thereby
added to his present cup gibittersl which .he is
now forced to drink himself, instead of,:supply-
v them scientifically to the purveyors of porter.
From that hot-headed, but Warni-heaited
Island, une solitary Address has found its way,
over,. said to be from the Towniof 13elfast,—,but
of which even the Belfast Newspaper speaks as
" an Address," not as the Address from that
once revolutionary, but now must loyal, tranquil,
and liberal town.

The answer to it I have seen ; but, with all
due respect to lIER MAJESTY, I shall consider it
in a Parliamentary point of view, not as'her.an-
swer, but the answer of her advisers—to which
of them, however, it is to be attributed, is rather
above my humble comprehension.
It is much below PARR, though it may have
been written by some one placed, pro tempore,
above him—perhaps a joint affair of revolutionary
scribes—some fellow from Spike Hall, or some
FELLO WES from we know not Where ! With the
true spirit of a British Critic, however, I cannot
help. thinking that little effect will arise in Irish
bosoms, from its lachrimatory commencement:—
" Could I suppos'e that Irishmen would for ever be insen-
sible to the spectacle of a female in distress' Could I sup-,
pose that their generous bosoms would not sorrow fut. the
sorrows, or be 'indignant at the indignities, of a persecuted,
Queen f"

• It then talks of " Green Erin"—but Erin is
not quite so green as they may imagine :---
"This warns-hearted Address from the Inhabitants of the
Town of Belfast has convinced me that my griefs are not on-
felt by the Sons of green Erin, and that all the better sym-
pathies of Irishmen are in unison with those of • Englislaro•n
in a cause, in which not to feel an interest, is like a declara-
tion that the individual'is au alien from the best frelings of
his species; that he is deaf to the voice of honour, and imper-
vious to the amiable sensibilities..of humanity. This is not
the characteristic of frishmeti. Their generous ardour, which
would adorn ehiontra in its Gest days, is well fitted to combat
-tyranny in i s worst:"
The latter part of this quotation is certainty
pretty broad hint, and might have some effect
upon the Sons of Erin now resident in Blooms-
buq, provided their hearts were .a little warmed
with HonoEi's BEST, instead of their heads stu,
pilled with copious libations of `Noon's AVonsT—
but I scarcely think that even the argumentwn
baculinuin of an Hibernian paviour will support
the broad assumption—too broad even for Broad
St. Giles's—

" As far as my adversaries can support their cause by ho-
nourable testimony, I have no fear ut the result. Hot lam
attached by witnesses, who will swear any thing: who have
been rezularly trained into the hardihood of perjury; 'and to
whom that perjury is the certainty of present support, and
the hope of future gain. It may he doubted whether such
witnesses reflect more disgrace upon their employers, oar the
empleyers upon the witnesses. Perhaps it will not be easy
to graduate their turpitude. Without any intet position of
my judgment, I shall leave it to themselves to settle the pre=
eminence in this sort of honourable rivalry."
But all this is too jocose to be taken in down-
right earliest ; it too much resembles the late
schoolboy whistling along the church-yard path
at night to keep up, his courage; and rather
leads one to smile at the conclusion, where her
MAJESTY is made to say,
" claim nothing front my enemies but my just co;!sti-
tutional rights, which I could not surrender without neglect-
ing the interest of the people of the three United Kingdoms,
fur whose grind they were bestowed."
What those " Constitutional Rights" may de-
mand,: or how far the Irish nation may be quali-
fied to maintain them, is a point not here to be
moved ; but I confess I see no interests pf the
People t 6 be maintained by these rights, unless
it may be the right of presentation of the Master-
ship of St. Catherine's,. of which, it is paid, that
the Brandyburgh Alderman is the 'expectant !
Beyond that, what can htt look for, taut

Roberts and Garter were yesterday brought
up to the Marlborough-street office, charged with
a violent as3aultupon Nash and another servant
to the Difke of WELLINGTON. The parties who
made.the charge stated, that the prisoners used
abusive language, and struck them without pro-
vocation, merely on recognizing the livery,of his
Grace, as the servants were passing through Tic-
tadilly.. The priSoners contended that they had
received the first offence. it appears to ,have
been a scuffle of an ordinary kind,, in which,.
perhaps, both parties were to blame.--Carter
was discharged, but Roberts was ordered to find
bail.

A singular suicide was committed at Paris on
Friday last. A well-dressed man, who was
looking with others at a.bear which was shewn
with different animals in the Jardin du Roi, sud•
denly threw himself into a situation where .the
bear could come in contact with him. The bear
immediately sprang upon ,him and
,killed him,
and it bad partly. devoured the body before the
keeper could succeed in inducing the animal to
quit its hold.

Wei mentioned yesterday in a Second Edition,
that ievolutionary commotions had broken out in
Piedmont, and this intelligence is confirmed in
the French Papers received this day, which state
that Austrian troops were advancing iu that di-
rection.

We received this morning, the Paris Papers
of Sunday last. Most strange to say, they do
not contain one word respecting the events in
Portugal, although intelligence of their occur-
rence is known to have been received by rner,
cantile houses at Paris on Saturday, and the Go-
vernment, there is every reason to believe, were
in possession of it some days before.—The fol-
lowing are extracts :

" PA 10 S,,SEPT. I(l—Yesterday the King transaztea business
with the Duke de Richelieu.

" The Commission of the Con►t of Peers 'interrogated
yesterday three of the accused, and four witnesses.
" The Cheval.er Francia, Charge d'Affaires of the Court of
Naples, arrived at Paris five days since, but he has not yet
announced himself in any character.'

." Vitherto we have not heard of the slightest
riot or confusion ; the people here, at least, are
as quiet as ever. The Conde de Amarante, in
Tros los Montes, has not decided with the party
here, though it is said that some of his troops
have. The Provisional Government have laid
hold of all the public money here, and the cof-
fers are said to have been very well supplied.
No contributions have been talkedof, or any ex-
pected to be demanded: An order of the Go-
vernment was misunderstood, and an embargo
Was laid on all shipping ; it was, however, im-'
mediately taken 'off. The Government "bliVe
written to the different Consuls, assuring them of
'the observance of existing Treaties, and that the
change of Government will not cause any altera-
tions in Foreign Relations ; we, 'therefore,' feel
easy as to safety of property."

66 We are informed that Circulars have been
sent by the Chamber of Commerce of Philadel-
phia, in which they state, that being impressed
with' the belief that the contemplated revision
and alteration .of the system of Duties at the
next Session of the National Legislature is
one of the most important measures which can be
the subject of deliberation by the General Go-
vernment, and alarmed at the efforts which were
made during the last Session of Congress to esta-
blish anew Tariff, founded on principles which
they conceive to be highly injurious both to the
Commercial and Agricultural Interests of the
Union; they consider it incumbent on them to

take the most early and effectual measure' tt
prevent the proposed alterations."

The Prisoners charged with High Tceason
York have withdrawn their plea of Not Oa lit

have their lives spared, that they may repent -
their wickedness. Such is the mild administratiOl
of the Laws of this Country. Mr. Justice BAIL 01;
with feelings that do him honour, iii apprizing til/
unfortunate men of the lenity that they weiti
experience, was deeply affected.--Is there Or'!
other Government on earth where an attempt 0:
destroy the Sovereignty would be treated wit)
equal lenity ? Where the Laws are lessseveief
and where there is equal mercy in those 1.5
whom the administration of them is intrusted ?:

ADDRESSERS.--A very large body of men, %vb.
professed to be Seamen belonging to Nierclialli
Ships in the River Thames, went to St.-Jarnes'r
square this day for the purpose of presenting 0
Address to THE QUEEN. They exhibited 0

appearance very different from true British Tars?
but it is understood that a promise had been mad'
to them of new &Wing.. They 'had vihitf
cockades in their hats, and carried new flags NO
inscriptions, as well as some old tattered ensign'
They had a numerous support of marauding
lies, who contrived to transfer property in the
course of their peregrination. We refer t°
a letter from this day's Correspondent., for
proper description of their appearance, and s
probable conjecture as to their drift'and lute'
tions.

A NOVEL CABTNET CURIOSITY !—Lately
moved from the City, shewn for a few days 11/
France, and now to be seen on the Banks of thr
Thames, a curious imitation of a kirgamy Pearl'
faintly represented in Wood. Though this 0
very odd, yet it la not reckoned, in any way,*
gratifying likeness of the original, it being by
means so pleasing to the eye, and certainly verf
far froM being so satisfactory to the taste. Thif
novelty, being really neither useful or ornarner
tal, will probably soon be discarded, as only but''
thensome to keep. •
