THE STA TI

to message the affairs of a nation in this state have react
time to spare to think of what is din Itty Holy Alliances.
The soperiptenilant of our Holy religion, who Ifahen
the tithes of this farm, would he the best expounder of
tile nature of the coneoctioe at this time. The Clroai•
de tells us in the same .paper, that yen harts appointed
the eldest son of your friend Mr. CoacEbus, (which ion
is called Lord Belford de If PRECIS-WRITER,
with a salary of 3001. • year. Precis-writer Is, we be

office fork Lord! However, Sir, the farm to let rent-
free is the answer to this also ; and if you do not awake
from the dream that you appeared to us to be in at Li-
verpool; if you do not awake from that dream before the
meeting of the Parliament, we can you that you wit
then awake in a great hurry. The Cfiroaide appears also,te
he uneuy least thu honour ofthe nation 'hostel ha tarnished
by the roughish proceedings of our friends the Bourbons,
in the ca‘e of Mr. Joan Bowatran. But, neither the
Chronicle nor Mr. BOWRING himself nor Mr. .1111131 T
ihNTILINI, up tear at all to consider the effect of farms
Lu be let without rent. That paradox does not appear
to have made a suitable impression upon their min s.
If they were to take a little time to consider, they would
soon know that for a country, the farms of which are let
without rent, to talk of its " /*meow ;" to talk of the
" powerful protection" that the signature of its ambas-
sadors can give; that oar such a coaster tie talk in such
a way, is very much like the hectoring of a elsfld while
it waves its dagger of lath. Mr. BARING *Mears,
we dare say, before he sees England again, what it is to
belong to a nation which Las to pay taxes to the *tootle, i
of sixty millions a year, with wheat at 4 shillings a
bushd, and South-Down Ewes at twelve shillings and
six-pence a piece. Ile will learn what it is to belong to
a nation that has a public debt of forty millions a
year, and a dead weight of five millions a year now hang-
ing about its neck. He will learn, we are very sure.'
what it is to belong to a nation, who, all other nations
know, does not talk of cannon; and who, without talk-
ing of cannon, may as well hold its tongue. —" Indem-
nity for the past" we have in our farms without rent;
and of our" security foithe feterre," Mr. Bowsaw bas
had and will have a little taste.

We find that it is strongly rumoured, and with nsuLb
appearance of truth, Ciat the members of the Holy Ala-
once atm not agreed upon the nature of the conduct
whickit would he advisable for them to hold towards
Spais." We have always expected them to find them-
selves, at last. in this dilemma. Spoils, left to itself
by the Holy Alliance, would speedily liberate

not long remain enslaved, and hale wool.' aeon he

Monarch be content with that!—We db not dwell o■
this subject longer, at present; but we expect to bear
something of it, in a plainer shape, before long. Let
it not be imagined, however, that we take the ration
to be settled anteeg the Holy Allies. 't• is fii lihely
they may enter Spain, as not. Probably, accident .111,
at last, determine the matter.

Ountseas IX illll.l24o.—The papers received from
Ireland this morning bring very alarming accounts of
the progress of the outrageous spirit which has revived
in the South-west districts. In addition to the instances
mentioned yesterday, we have now, with concern, to
state the following:—li the County of Cork, at Spring-
fort. Mr. Foot's house was attacked, with stories and
fre-arm•, and his property destroyed to the amount of
SOU or 6011/. At Danovan's Cove. is the west of the
county, the dwelling of a farmer of the name of Dono-
van, was forcibly entered by a party consisting of five
or six armed men, with their faces blackened. After
abusing Donovan for having lately taken a farm, they
maltreated him and Isis wife in the most creel manner,
and afterwards robbed the Louse 01301. and other property.
We regret to add the man has since died of his wounds.
and but little hopes are entertained elide wife's recovery.
In theconnty of Westmeath, the house of West Park, in
the parish of Drom, within a few miles of Athlone,
was set on fire, on Sunday sennight, and the interior
of it consumed. On the night following as Thomas
hl. Naughton, Esq. proprietor of the above house. was
seated at dinner. with some ;teatimes, the windows of
the room in which they dined were suddenly attacked,
and broken by si volley of stones aid other missiles ;
soil some of the company narrowly escaped being seri-
ously injured. On the night of Tuesday, the dwell-
ing-house of Mr. Joseph Hicks, in the parish of
Kilgiass, was set on fire, together with two stacks
of corn in the haggard, by loins malicious incen-
diaries. The house, however, was, only consumed in
part ; hat the corn fell a prey to the flames. On
the night of Saturday a horse, the property of John
Connor, of Toneavane, near Dlannerville, (one of the
revenue boatmen) was maliciously stabbed in the belly
and killed, in a field on the farm above-aseationed. On
Tuesday night, a horse was 'soughed, and a quantity of
corn maliciously destroyed at the distance of about a
mile from the town of Clare. On the morning of Sunday
a notice was found posted on time Chapel door of Cratloes
cautioning persons Dot to pay tithes on pain of death.—
On Wednesday night the house of Thomas Brennan,
who resides on the lands of Coolkip was attacked, and
on his opening the door, he. with his son Michael, were
dragged outejde. placed on their knees, and compelled
to swear " they would quit their farm in six days time,"
and threatened if they did not comply, that they should
meet the death of Edmund Shea.

Paris papers which have arrived to the 14th instant,
have brought fresh intelligence of the disasters which
seem to attend the Turkish arms in all quarters. No
mom had the destruction of the Ottoman force which
