STATESMAN.

IRELAND IN 1822, AND FRANCE IN 1789.

The present starving state of Ireland as forming a
part of the British Empire, may be considered a
judgement on t►e impious end n seed by Pitt
and his supporters towards t►e French nation, in the
early part of the Revolution of that Government, as
stated in the following extract from the History of
that t by Desodosrds, vol. 2. p. 440.
" Great Britain was glutted with grain i■ 1789.
The Council of Versailles alarmed at the approach of
the Famine with which France was menanced, in con-
sequence of the disastrous winter of 1788, seared
Wheat to be purchased in all quarters. Louis the
Sixteenth solicited permission to purchase twenty
lb d sacks of Wheat in England on his own ac-
count. The Ministry answered that they could not
accede to such a:request without previously submitting
the same to the decision of Parliament. The proposi-
tion of the King of the French was supported with
considerable ardour and generosity in the 'House of
Commons. It was observed that ►umanity as muc► as
the laws of good neighbourhood, required that the re-
lief in geestioa should be afforded. Poltesey especial-
ly spoke with such force as to carry with him a major-
ity, when Pitt after having alarmed the Commons as
to the cossequences which such exportation might be
attended with, succeeded in obtaining a reference of
the proposal to the Privy Council for examination,
and the result thereof was a recommendation not"to
permit the exportaion of the twenty thousand Sacks.
The trilling assistance respected by Louis was not
only iebontanly refused by the Court of London, but
it was so desirous nine aaaaa the distress of the French
People, that a rig proclamation was issued for
preventing all frauds that might be resorted to for
eluding the prohibition Odle exportation of betbWheat
and Flour to France. The English Goverment went
even farther. Directions were given to seise in the
English Ports the convoys of grain proceed.ng from
foreign conntries and destined for France. Io this,
m hey flattered themselves that the French Peo-
ple driven to despair by the horrible ravages of fa•
mine, would of themselves burl the French Monarch
from the Throne, and that by the convulsioe produced
by this revolution, the success of the plans of the Or•
leans faction would be favored."

he saw a field of Oats moving, in the Neighbourhood

land, by the 10tb of July.

fully supplied for the demand. Prime samples sold Is.

l'aarsourw. JUN. 27.—0 n Monday last eleven of
the smugglers found on beard the Susannah, captured
a short time since and brought In here, were removed
from oar Gaol on board the Ranger, Capt. Sayers,
which sailed divests* day fur Chatham, where the
men are to be put on board a man of war. Eight
others are yet detained tuber Wei, being found an-
fit for service. The eleven men were to have been
removed from the Gaol at two o'clock in the morning
of the above day, to avoid cootesion in getting them
on board the cutter; bat on the officers going into the
prison fur that purpose, the smugglers threatened to
resist them with their lives ; it was therefore eonvi-
dared prudent to wait until farther &existence could be
procured from the cutter. They were, however, re-
moved in the coarse of the morniag, bet on their way
to the beach the officers and men were followed by as
immense mob, who assailed them with stones and
hooting, and it was with considerable difficulty that
they get the smugglers through, the evident intenders
being to rescue them, but by the steadiness and per-
severance of the party who had them in charge, they
were put safely oo board. On the return of the boat's
crew to the Jetty to take Capt. Sayers off they were
again assailed by t)te mob, by which two of the crew
were severely nonitaid. F ire or six persons have
sleet been appribebded for this outrage, and commit-
ted to prisms. . . •
It is in etonteAsleilonlto build a new bridge across
the Aran at Amadei. The great object of this under-
taking is to amp the butmenls of the present
bridge, which insitUes the ready flow of the tide in
its progress 11111%141 jet° the country, as it is cake-
; lated, by some ntilet."The bridge Wendel to be
Wilt, is to be a spay of one arch, clearing the entire
water course, and allowing the spontaneous flow, of
the water, and benefitting much the opyer navigation
connected with and extending from that valuable
river.

LONDON BRIDGC—On Wednesday afternoon, at
low water, the Surveyors appointed by the city sur-
veyed the depth ut.Lhe river from the present bridge
to Of '* Wan Stairs,letween which two places. and

170 feet from the present bridge, the eoateroplated
immature will be erected. They extended a rape SCTOUS
the whole of the river at Old Swae Stairs, mid soother

from the point of one of the starlings of the centre
arch to the point of the other starling; a third rope
was fastened to the middle of each of the two 6•st
mopes, and was divided into a scale, having every 12
feet made conspicuous by a piece of red cloth. Vhe
Surveyors measured the depth of water in tiv centre
of the river, from the commencement of the rope at Old

Swan Stairs to the point of the starlings of the centre
arcb,and back again. The following is a correct state-
ment of the depth of the river at low water mark.—
