peter of bloodshed—offices which have been recklessly per-
formed,
and with much dangerous talent, by some of our
coatem poi aries.
We have already stated why we think the. Irish people
ought to be allowed the liberty of complaining of the Legis-
lative Union, and of petitioning against it, as an injury which
they feel and experience ; and why no proclamations ought
to be interposed between them and their meetings, to discuss
the manner and form of their petitions.
If the eloquence, the energy, and the activity with which
their cause is supported, give offence to little minds, let them
shrink into their proper shade ; but such displays of ultra
patriotism, within the law, do not in the slightest degree
affect either the justice, the right, or the morale of the ques-
tion at issue.
We will no more quarrel with Mr. O'Coxwitu. for his
astonishing powers as a Patriotic Orator, than with the cou-
rage and conduct of the Marquis of ANGLESEY, as a Com-
mander of Cavalry, when in the presence of an enemy.
For our own parts, and we are not novices in the study of
the history of mankind, we think that the scene of O'CoN-
NELL and his friends, before the stipendiary Magistrates
of Dublin, was, taken as a whole, one of the finest
described in ancient and modern history ; and it should
be pourtrayed by some immortal artist, at the very moment
when he exclaimed, HE WOULD YIELD AND GIVE BAIL, TO
IPREVENT TUE CONSEQUENCES or AN INSURRECTION OF
THE PEOPLE.

We draw attention to this fact Now—because, though time
will consecrate the circumstances—yet, NOW, it is calculated

to be useful, if the rulers of our destinies are as wise as we
wish them to be !

What a tale will this be, to pass through Europe, among
governments and people long envious of our prosperity !
What a tale to cross the Atlantic—what a tale to fly through
Catholic Europe! Were not the Houses of Parliament the
true places to meet Mr. O'Cow NELL, and the Irish Petition-
ers ? Was it a fit or necessary question to be treated at the
Police Office of Dublin ? In answering this question, let it
be remembered, that Ireland contains Say Ex blitLioxs of
the Knfo's legal subjects, and is the RIG lIT •RM of the
British dominions !

While, thus, we disapprove of the rash conduct of the

Irish Government, we think it proper to state our confidence,
that his Majesty's Ministers, on the opening of Parliament,
intend to propose some important remedial measures, which
we regret had not been earlier developed, and which pro-
bably might have prevented so much popular excitement.

Private letters, received by the Dutch Mail this day,
from Koningaberg, dated the 7th instant, affirm positively
that Prussia is not to interfere in the affairs of Poland.
All was tranquil at that date, in that part of Prussia ;
but a large army is in a state of preparation, to act in
case of necessity. These letters further state, that the
Prussian and French Governments are engaged in at-
tempting a mediation, between the Russians and the
Patriots.

By the same conveyance, we have official news from War-
saw to the 10th of this month, of which the following are
the contents :

" On the 7th of this month, at throe in the morning. Lieutenant.
Colonel Wylosiniski, who was sent by the Dictator to St. Petersburg,
arrived here with dispatches, which are directed to M. Soboloski, for•
mer President of the Council of Administradon, and announced the
speedy return of Mr. Jescierski, one of the Ministers of the Depu-
tation.

On this the Dictator issued on the following day the following
Prodarnadon t—
"To all and every one whom it may concern. It is hereby made
known, in cossequence of the urgent necessity, that the Representatives
of the people should deliberate on the means of securing the national
existence, and take measures nemeemy for this object, according to the
lith article of the decree of the Diet of the 20th Dee. last year, and on
the represented= of the national council, the two Chambers of the
Diet are convoked on the 17th of this month at Warsaw. As soon as
the Senators and Deputies are assembled, the Dictator will Ss a day

The Commercial Stale Gasette adds to the above that Lt. Col. Wyle-
synski wee received on the Russian frontiers by an escort, which se-
(=pealed him to St. Peterburgh and back.
The same journal contains the Imperees proclamation of 24th Dec.
The Wens. Gaulle says that the Dictator intends to increase the
standing army, to one hundred thousand infant-y, and twenty thousand
meetly.

The Municipal Council of Warsaw invites volunteers to bliss in the
additional contingent of MOO font, and 480 horse, to be provided by the
City t the professors of the Warsaw schools am to Am* corps of engi-
neers and artillery of the National Guard. Those officers of all aims
who have not yet received any destination, are invited by Gen. Hoycy-
Doti, Governor of Warsaw, to present themselves to the Com-
mission of ooveramens here, when they will maim instruction.
" On the Bth, the retreat of the ex-Vice-President Lodowidsld,
was supposed to have been discovered in a convent hers;; it was sum
rounded and a strict search made, but only his wife and children were
found. Our journals my, that General Lellemend is expected in this
city. It is also said that Generals Reciter and Pallier will come hi-
ther. The latter was General of Artillery during the time of the Duchy
of Warsaw."

At the same time, we hare the following extraordinwy
