IRELAND.

The Circuits have commenced in Ireland. They do not
promise well for the Lawyers. At Carlow there was not
one Record. The Chief Baron having nothing to do, did
not arrive until the third day of the Assizes. The Lord
Chancellor of England must surely envy the vied fortune of
his Lordship. The country appears now perfectly tranquil.
Lord Norbury, in his charge to the Grand Jury of the
County of Carlow! said—" Never. during the last half cen-
tury, did he recollect more tranquillity than existed is the
County at the present moment. He was quite aware that
had he made this assertion in another place, he would not be
believed! But to the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury the
merit was due—they it was who protected the innocent, de-
terred the guilty, and checked the causes that disturbed se•
eiety elsewhere."—His Lordship, in the course ofhls speech
'toted that the complaint that there was not a due adminis-
tration of justice in Ireland was an audacious falsehood,
propagated by demagogues who sought to usurp the places
of their superiors, by exciting discontent among the people.

A Madrid Gazette of the 34 of July has arrived. It
contains a decree by the rebel Regency, directing in
what manner the prisoners made from the Constitutional
forces are to be disposed of. Under the Jett; of the 2,1,
it states that information hail been received, that their
Majesties and their Royal Highnesses had experienced
no change in their important health to the 26th of June
last; that the opinion of the inhabitants of Cadiz in
favour of the King, is every day more, and more con-
' firmed ; that the General in Chief, Count de Boarilesoult,
was hastening and pressing closer the blockade of that
place and Isla ; 'that the Ex-Deputy and Ex-Minister
Cepa: had disappeared from Ca lie ; and the same was said
of Don Evaristo San Miguel, also ex-Deputy and ex-Minis-
ter dale revolutionists, carrying with Itimsorne millions.
The ststement respecting haw ftlioueb is quite incon-
sistent with all former intelligence from Seville. Soon
after he resigned his ministerial functions, he accepted a
military command in Catalonia; and the etters from Ba-
ycinne have mentioned his arrival at Barcelona. This
story, and the account which is given of the meeting at
the London Tavern, show the little reliance which can
he placed in the publications of the Madrid Regency.
Perhaps some London Ultra has dressed that account.
This Gazette contains, besides, several addresses to the
Madrid Regency, and account of the ceremony of the
restoration of the Spanish standards. Such are the
contents of the Gazette, which are singular enough;
hut it is also somewhat remarkable for what it does not
contain—not a word is said about Morino and his inn-
clamitions!
