He began by informing-the House of Commons, that they

With 'respect to our domestic policy, 'his Majesty felt
confident, that the internal measures that had been
framed with regard to Ireland, would when carried
into full effect, produce great•bent& to that part of
the United Kingdom. Parliament might depend, at the
at the same time, on a temperate and sparing exercise of,
those extraordinary powers with which the execu-
tive was entrusted. His- Majesty had observed with
great satisfaction the growing revival of commerce rnl'a
dialinthion of the Agricultural distresses. They were also

WAR OF DE4P(YFS AGAINST THE FagEDOM
OF THg PRESS.
JTCTnanu. Joh', 6.—The Commissioners of the Der-
titanic Viet, who are charted, it appear., with the exe-
cution of the measures agreed upon at the Congresses
of l'arlsband and Verona, to restrain more and more
the liberty of the press in Germany. not content with
the signal victory which they host obtained over 'one
Journal (the German Observer), bare declared war against
another of our public prints. It would seem that
lefliry thin, which is published in the independent king-
dom of Wirternbere becomes to the Diplomatic Body
assembled at Frankfort so many intolerable there% which
it is necessary to eradicate from the German mil, at
bawds. The Journal now inculpated is entitled, :‘ Uni-
versal Political Annals." It -enjoyed very general ap-
probation. and its principal Rditor is • publicist highly
distinguished for his talents. and not less honoured for
tia moral qualities. The publisher and proprietor, N.
COTTA. a celebrated bookseller, bad never been accused
of entertaining feelings of hostility to any of the German
Governments. Unluckily, however, amongst all the
irreproachable articles of the " Agnate," there was to be
found one which bore this title," The Diplontalisl," and
which excited the lively indignation of the Commissioners
pt the Diet. This article the Commissioners declare to hale-
. compatible not only with monarchical principles in general,
bet also with the individual security of each state of the
Germanic confederation, inasmuch as Ike important dam
of public jitnetionaries, is there treated slightingly, and
without sufficient respect, and the author endeavours with
aztreme arrogance to throw contempt upon diplomacy it-
self. The Commissioners add, that although they belong
themselves to the class of diplomatists, and may thus incur
the odium of pronouncing Jukment in their own ease,
they still cannot refrain from declaring this article to be
among the number of those of which they ought to take
cognizance, as 'omitting to the honour of the Diet, and of,
the principal Sovereigns of Genitally, es well as that of their
Ministers.—(Courirr Frances.)

New SPANISH LOAN.—Notice was yesterday, at the

Chi Siturday the Court assemble& and at 12 o'clock
Mr. Blanker and the Assistant Barriiiter were on the

Thos. Gallaghan, Cbrist.Sheridsn, and John Gallag-

glusn's, house, en thenight of Sunday, the' 6th instant,
near Glanworth.4—Several persons were produced for the
prisoners to prove an alibi, in which they completely
failed.—The Magistrates then retired, and iu a short
time returned, When
Mr. Blacker, in energetic terms, pronounced sentence
of seven yeors transportation on all the prisoners.-
The scene that followed the sentence was truly impres-
sive, and such as we could wish was generally witnessed
by their wretched associates in guilt.—The unfortunate
men called oat for the clemency of several of tbe Gentle-
men they knew in the Court, to be extended towards
their distressed wives and children.
Monday • evening~ the above-mentioned men were
brought into Cork under a strong escort, and lodged in
the County Osol, preparatory to their being put on
board the Convict ship at Cove.

MOST MELANCROLT OCCURRENCE.—A Roman (•iatbo.
He Clergyman, of the name of Donnellan, who offici-
ated, we understand, at Blessington, learned in the course
of kir vocation some circumstance tending to remove the
imputation of guilt from, if not to prove the innocence
of two unfortunate men, sentenced to death, at Carlow
a day or two back. Such WAS this excellent man's 'ni-
-1 iety to turn this information to the advantage of the no.
happy accused, that, though near seventy years of age,
he rode on Saturday upwards of sixty miles on this
praiseworthy basinms, end reached the Vice Regal
Lodge at the Park on Saturday evening last, too late to
see the Lord Lieutenant. The Rev. Gentleman was pro.
wised an audience on Sunday morning at ten. He pu.
op at the Queen's Read Hotel, in Bride Street (Damp
ster's) for the night, and rose at half past seven on Sun-
day morning, though still labouring under all the effects
Of his great exertions, and dressed himself. Wearied
with anxiety and exhaustion, he just sat down to wait
the proper moment for starting, in order to be at his des-
tination in time, and melancholy to :elate, without evince
ing the most trilling struggle, and, as he sat, yielded up
his pare spirit. Every exertion was made to reanimate
him, both by the family and Surgeon Wright, who in-
stantly attended; but, we regret to state, without effect.
Exhausted nature could bear no more than he had en •
dared on this 'mission of mercy—be had breathed his
last. We hope the secret did nut die with him, but that
the pious work which cost him his valuable life, may be
consummated by some other persons properly qualified
for the purpose.—(Dablio Eves. Post, July 15.)
