The Dublin Mansion-House Committee has pub-
lished a Report, which confirms to the fullest extent
all that has been said of the dreadful distress which
prevails in Ireland. In the county of Cork there are
upwards of 150,000 persons in actual want of food.—
In three parishes in Mayo, there are 9750 individuals
inn similar situation, and a great portion of them
suffering under fevers and dysenteries. At Cuppah,
in Tipperary, there are 2000 famishing persons, nearly
one-fourth of whom are now in the fever. At West-
port, in Galway, there are 14,000 applicants for food.
Iu the parish of Ballynahill, fifteen persons died for
want of food, and several more in the adjoining pa-
rishes. In several other places the distress is quite as
great the nettles and weeds of the fields are quite
exhausted, and the wretched victims of famine and
disease often drop down while the food is distributing
among them.

The French Papers of Monday bring rather grati-
fying intelligence from Spain, and give a full con-
tradiction to the falsehoods diurnally asserted in some
of the Ultra Journals, of the success of the Insur-
gents, the threats against the KING, and a variety of
other reports. It appears that the KING, instead of
going to Madrid secretly and on compulsion as was
stated, was, with the Royal Family, to make a public
entry on the 27th ult. by the gate of Toledo. But
the most important article respecting Spain in these
Papers, is the KING'S Answer to the Message of the
Cortes on the state of Spain, which was preented by
the Ministers on the 20th. The following is a copy

" I have recaved with the greatest utisfaction the Message
addressed to me by the Cortes, in which they express their re-
pect for the Constitutional Throne, and their desire to contri-
bute is the felicity of the Monarchy. These sentiments, so be-
coming to the Repreuntatives of the Spanish People, afford me
reasons to hope that the first powers of the State acting in con-
cert to put an end to present evils, anti to avoid those with
which the future may threaten us, the agitation of the public
mind will subside ; the hope of overthrowing the established
system will vanish, and the nation will enjoy all Its benefits
in peace.
" The prospect presented by the restoration of the Constitu-
tional S) stem in le2o, was no doubt promising, as the Cortes
have stated; but it was not difficult to foresee even then, in
consulting the history of nations, that an Immense difference
would exist between proclaiming and consolidating liberty, and
that time alone, assisted by prudence and constancy, would be
able to correct the accumulated abuses of several centuries, to
oounect in the same uniform plan the various branches of the
Public Administration, and to raise the opinions, the interests,
and manners of the People to the level of its political institutions-
" It is not in the power of the Government to hurry on the
natural course of things, nor to avoid the evils inseparable from
great and difficult reforms : but I do not hesitate to assure the
Cortes that I shall make an energetic use of all the means, fa.
cause, and rights with which the fundamental law invests me,
to cause it to be religiously observed, and to remove the ob.
stacks which may oppose its firm consolidation.
" I rely on the co-operation of the Cores to attain so ins.
portant an end ; on the wisdom and perseverance which charac-
terise the Spanish People ; on the enthusiasm and bravery of the
tinny and the militia, on the influence of public opinion, and on
the support of the immense majority of the nation, seeing with
eatisfacticn amidst the grief created in my mind by the events
which agitate some parts of Spain, that experience confirms the
grounds on which my confidence is founded.
61 I flatter myself, with the resources decreed and the mune
placed at the disposal of the Government, that I shall soon be.
bold tranquillity re-established io Spain, and the attempts of the
enemies of the coantry frustrated; and this without having re.
course to extraordinary measures, which, seldom necessary, and
often dangerous, are always a proof of the impotence of the
Wing laws.
" In extending my authority to all that concerns the primer-,
vation of public order in the interior, and the external safety of
the State, conformably to the Constitution and the Laws, I find
all my tights and obligations comprised within that general basis.
Faithful to so sacred an engagement, I shall spare neither efforts
nor sacrifices to render my Constitutional Throne, in all times,
and under all circumstances, the rallying point of good Spaniards
" In vain shall the sacted name of Religion be invoked to se-
duce the senseless ; in vain shall it be attempted to confound the
banner of loyalty with the colours of rebellion. My subjects
shall listen obediently to the voice of their Monarch ; and in the
contrary case, the sword of the law shall force back into the path
of duty, those who would persist in their criminal wanderings.
" The Cortes may be certain that whilst I shall labour to
maintain tranquillity, time chief foundation of the internal pro.
