all go on hand in hand, andstand or fall together; we3 however,
are of "tows. that although the Catholic Relief Bill ought not to
pass, without provisions similar to those in the last two Acts, yet
we are firmly persuaded, that the provision for the Catholic Clergy,
and the regulation of the Forty Shilling Freeholders, are both of
them measures which, individually or conjointly, would benefit
Ireland, if even the great question should be delayed.
We are happy to see every debate on the subject of Ireland so
Well attended In Parliament. Last night, 567 Members divided

It appears that the defection of the Greek General
ODYSSEUS is almost beyond doubt. The majority of
ils,troops, however, had abandoned the traitor, and there
as reason to hope, that, aided by the force sent against
him by the Government, he will speedily be to
justice. The discovery of an apostate like this only serves,
to illustrate the immoveable fidelity of the great body
of the Greek soldiery to the sacred cause of the r county.

connected with any party formed in the interior.
