In consequence of the indisposition of the RECORDER,
the Council which was to have been held by the KING
this day, at Windsor Castle, was put off. A notice to
this effect was received early this morning.
In the afternoon the Duke of WELLINGTON left town
for Stmthfieldsay, and Sir GEORGE MU ARA Y, for Tun-
bridge Wells.

We have never thought well of the sincerity of Mr.
O'CON N ELL, but we have cautiously repressed our suspi-
cions, in the hope that they might have been too hastily
adopted. As an asserter of religious equality, the Hon.
Gentleman accomplished a glorious mission—he ran a
splendid career : but with all his affectation of liberal sen-
timent— for it was an affectation with him—he never
convinced us that he was really liberal. Neither will it
be going too far, to say that he never convinced the
country : by the country, we mean the Protestant mass
of the Empire, who mistrusted O'Cow NELL from the
timt, and mistrust him doubly now. Throughout the
long" agitation" in which he was engaged, the cloven foot
of his papistical partisanship stood out conspicuously
fi om beneath the mantle of his Irish patriotism. Disaf-
fection to the political supremacy of England inter-
mingled largely with his endeavours to break the yoke of
an ecclesiastical vassalage. His detestation of this
country and its religion was perceptible in every speech
he uttered, notwithstanding his anxiety to disguise it.
The Honourable and Learned Gentleman has been ac-
cused of being a Jesuit, but we acquit him of that impu-
tation. He hates too heartily—too overtly—to belong
to the hypocritical order of LOYOLA, though in him that
order has found an inveterate and furious supporter.

It has been impossible to resist these observations on
reading the speech which Mr. O'CONNELL made at
Yonghal, at a public dinner given to him there, on the Ist
of November He has completely thrown off the mask :
whether, because he thinks Government is committed too
far in its policy of concession, to recede—or because he
fancies the popular.organisation under him to be capable
of setting it at defiance—we know not. All that we
know is—that O'CONNELL has thrown of the mask. It
is time, therefore, to put aside all reservation, add
false feelings of delicacy on our parts: we, on this
side, are under no obligations to the Hon. and Learned
Member for Clare, but ho owes largely to our forbearance.
While the struggle was in progress, he received from
the enlightened patriots of this country a co-operation
which even exceeded prudence : if he betrayed, in the
intemperance of a public harangue—as he frequently did
-some lurking sinister intention, it was immediately
ascribed to the natural excitement of his situation. None,
but the Orange Ultras, ever charged Mr.O'CONItELL
with bigotry, and intolerance, and Romish views. Now,
however, we ourselves—we, who cannot be impeached of
illiberal courses, or (lrange prejudices—charge him
directly with papistical designs; with aims to separate,
and subvert, and revolutionise ; with schemes incom-
patible with his allegiance to his lawful SOVEREIGN,
and having for their object to dissolve the allegiance of
his countrymen. Mr. O'CONNELL is the connecting
link between the Roman PONTIFF, and his Jesuit mis-
sionaries in Ireland ; and feeling—aye, and knowing him
to be such—why should we be longer scrupulous and
delicate in declaring it ? The liberal Press has coquetted
too long with this dangerous Agitator, and it is time for
other than Orange writers to set his true character before
the country.
We are bound to England," says the Honourable and
Learned Member for Clare, in his speech at Youghall—
" by the golden link of the Crown, and far be it from me
to weaken that connexion by my present observations : I

want no disseveration ; but I want and I must have a re-
peal of that cursed measure which deprived Ireland of her
Senate, and thereby made her a dependent upon British
Aristocracy, and British intrigue, and British interests."
Such a declaration as this cannot be misapprehended ;
and when coupled with the speech of Mr. SIlEli at the
Louth dinner, it shows for what objects these Ca-
tholic Patriots are working together. While they were
yet unemancipated, they talked of the injustice of
ineligibility to public honours and offices on account of
their religion: it was a brand—they complained—of civil
inferiority. Remove this, by putting us upon the same
footing—in point of law—with our Protestant fellow-
subjects, and it is all that we desire ; surely nothing can
be fairer ; we do not want the places themselves, but only
eligibility to them: eligibility is not election. Such was
the language of the unemancipated agitators : the disabi-
lities are repealed—they are made equal to the Protes-
tants in law—and immediately their tone is altered,
and their demands rise. Mr. SIIEIL, at Louth, said it
was ridiculous to talk of eligibility now : election. was
what they wanted, and election they must have. What !
said the Learned Gentleman—are we to be put off with

the appearance of things, when we are strong enough
to take our share of the substance? That will never do.
We are SEVEN sumo); s, and we must have our pro-
portionate share of emoluments and liononis. O'Cou-
NELL has carried emancipation, and he now calls
out for a repeal of the Union : if he could
carry that, he would propose next a declaration
of Ireland's independence upon England. It
is that—and that alone—at which in the intoxication
of his popularity, and self-astonishment at his own
successes, the Honourable disturber aims. He wants,
he says—the devil doubt him—and he must have a
REPEAL of THAT CURSED MEASURE ! "He
may be told " he proceeds " that to attempt
a repeal of the Union would be chimerical: he
pities the man that wants an argument, in support of
the position that Ireland wants her Parliament."
" Look to Dungarvan, where a steady POPISII agitator
is ralllying its constituency."
_ _

This admission—from the mouth of O'Cow Nsu.—
that the objects of the new " agitation" are popish, is
inappreciable in guiding us to determine the character of
his patriotism. There can be no longer a difference
of opinion about him: he is at once the organ, and
instrument, and functionary of the POPE in Ire-
land. On his arrival in Dublin, he has pledged
himself instantly to form there a new Association,
under the revolutionary title of " SEVENTEEN HUN DRED
AND EIG lITY-TNVO :" the object of this Association is to
repeal the Union nor shall its influence cease,
until the Parliament of Ireland be restored, and her
sons be as ONE CREED—is the promise of the
demagogue.

A private letter from Paris mentions, that when Mr.
EYNARD made his proposals for another Greek Loan to
M. LAFITTE, the distinguished and liberal capitalist cut
him short:—" Write to the PRESIDENT, and tell him
that until he has acknowledged the loans contracted in
England, and made an arrangement with the creditors
of Greece there. I cannot enter into any engagement
with him." This reply, so honourable to the character
of the great Parisian Banker, fully confirms all that we
have advanced on the subject. The rise of two per cent—
which we noticed yesterday—in Greek Securities, was
plainly a stock-jobbing contrivance ; since, under the
circumstances of this refusal, their decline would be the
only natural operation.

Notwithstanding the positive asssumption of the Mi-
guelite Journals, that their idol has been recognized by
the POPE, neither the Paris papers, nor the latest private
letters say a word on the subject. If, however, the
Pontiff should be subsequently induced to commit such
an act, how will it change a question in which the whole
public opinion of Europe has been so often and decidedly
expressed ? The recognition of the usurper by the head
of the Catholic Church, would only furnish another proof
of the total indifference that prevails with regard to all
those principles on which the other sovereigns of Europe
are permitted to hold their thrones.

We have German Papers this day to the 4th instant ;
but they contain little matter of interest. All eyes are
now turned on unhappy Greece ; and the most intense
anxieties are felt about the political as well as the
geographical status which she is to hold in the East of
Europe. Albeit the silence of the Continental Papers
seem to be marked on this matter, certain private ad-
vices—to which, by the way, we do not always give the
most implicit credit—inform us that the choice of a Knro
for Greece forms at present one of the subjects of con-
ference among the Representatives of the Powers—
parties to the treaty of the 6th July. The Prince PAUL
DE WIRTEMBERG is now in Paris, making every effort
to induce the French Ministry to present him as a can-
didate for the kingly office. His Serene Highness is
incessant in his applications to Prince DE POLIGNAC;
but it does not appear that he is likely to succeed. The
Prince of Lucca is, we believe, also a candidate—but

nothing decisive has taken place. The truth is, that
none of the Europeaa Powers dare to move in the mat-
ter, till NICHOLAS "nods his head."

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Orr. W.

Within these few days it is reported that various cues of plague
have occurred in the Principalities, namely, at Jusy and Bucha-
rest, w►ich have induced the authorities to take the promptest
measures, .everal soldiers of the garrison having been attacked. It
is believed that in consequence of this circumstance, the troops left
for the occupation of the Principalities will not be numerous.
It is thought in the Russian army that the Porte has obtained a
reduction of four anions of ducats in the amount of the military
contribution. and that the Emperor Nicholas intends on this ac-
count to order the evacuation of the Turkish territory four years
before the time stipulated a: Adrianople. Large mediates of
berms are making in Poland to 111111111110 t the light r.avalry.---44Ege•

EGINA, Sam I.
The National Congress at Argos has passed the (Wowing rss

lotion respecting the declaim of causes that were pending in the
Criminal Courts before the arrival et the Preideut of Greece :-
1. AU disputes between natives of the country, vides from
actions that are to be considered as cringes and misdemeanours,
committed between the 48th February (0.5.) 1821, and the in-
stallation of the Provisional Government in 1828, shall be decided
in the first and lass instance by a Tribunal of Arbitration, consist-
ing of three Members.
2. Bacb of the two parties will name an Arbitrator ; the third
will be appointed by the Government. The majority of two
decides.

S. If the plaintiff or the defendant does not name his arbitrator,
the Government has the right to appoint him.
4. The arbitrators are chiefly to aim, in the execution of their
duties, at the extinction of hostile passions, and take equity for
their guide.
5. In all the above cases the usual course of proceeding shall be
observed, with the reserve of such modigicadons u the Go►ern-
meet may think ht to order, either in general, or for the particular
MN.

6. This Tribunal decides finally on such cases with respect to
the damages to which the plaintiff has proved his right ; but every
thing relative to the application of the punishment is left to the
Government.

The last (136) Decree of the National Coovess relates to the
re-assembling of the fourth Congress, and the renewal of its Sit-
tings. The Members at the present Congress will form the next
Assembly, which is to be considered as only the continuation of the
present, as soon as the Government has prepared the plan of a Coo-
stitution, or when the cases enumerated in the 3d Article of the
first Decree render it necessary—the Members of the present Con-
gress are to be agala called together.—Frankfort Papers, Nov. 3.
