(fItoM THE DUBLIN [VEXING MAIL)
A number of the Irish Members of the Huns,. of Common~
warted upon Lord Liverpool within the last few days, to
express their alarm tot to the probable cooseqiiences of the
present penurious views of Ministers, in I to remonstrate
against the 'anther reduction of public establishments in
ircl '1 Ley pointed one to Lord Liverpool the difference
in the circiantstaneee of the two countries, and maintained
;that in the proportion in which @nets reductions had taken
glare here, general distress, not relief, had followed!. The
•,gentry, they said, were daily disappearing., from whatever
MAWS; anti that fb,s was one of them, a reference to the
comparative state of Dublin and its residents in Ibl3, and
in 1182.3, would clearly 'demonstrate. The very influence
anti power of the lioverionenf watt shaken, by the existing
policy, and bye am! hear its results wool.( he found in the
general desertion of all wen of means and educati,tn from
She country. Lard Liverpool, we ran state, apprareil to
be forcibly impressed by time reasoning of th-se patriotic
notruthetts, uet.l 'their recommendation is likely to lead
Ao the adoption of a snore prudent and salutary curse of 1
ectillg!
We have reason to believe that a eornmunicetion has been
jest tretived from the Lowlsofthe Tremor!, directing that,
r.-miliellitthorsenetimih of Parliament he obtained, the reductions
, contemplated its these tlepartn•nts, to which the Commis-
! 'loners bf Inquiry have already given their attention,
shalt not be carried into effect. Mr. Secretary Canning,
we ran state, is decidedly averse from any further curtail.
meet of the pstronsge of the Crown. or that of, the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. The majority of the Cabinet are
with the Secretary, and we are gratified to add, that the
opinions of the titanium Wellesley are understood to coin-
cide with those of these Ministers.

Recent letters from Naples menion the enne•raint and
distress the people of that neuritic continue to suffer from
the presence of foreign troops, ankthe inquisitorial system
vhicb the Austrians art upon throughout the kingdom
t our very respectable persons were Lady arrested in far
titer Calabria. lt they were suspected of having rom
muniestion with the Greeks. These , have augment
ad very considerably the general discontent o hick previ-
'eusly existed there. In spite of this it would appear to
be almost aNgtain that these unfortunate rople have been
carried before a military tribunal, and sentenced to be m-
illed.
