Mr.. EDIToR-The two most audaole and praise
worthy publications which have lately appeared in
your paper, respecting the unhappy consequences
which the rising generation are exposed to, from
1.-THE practices therein pointed out in which the tav.
fern keepers are said to have INDUCED themselves

means OF figuring hereafter as confirmed drunkards
and thereby becoming the scourge Of and burthen
lon that society, of which, but for this dreadful pro-
pensity, they would have been the support and the
ornament, are indeed SO striking, and must come
home so orcibly 10 the bosom of every man and
more especially OF those parents who have suffered
Tor are likely to suffer by it, that it becomes their
Ilmperious duty to endeavor to devise plan by
which this pestferous evil more fatal than all the
Iplagues OF Egypt, may be checked and if possible,
Iannihllated.
| do not see how the Borough Council can inter-
ere In any way, unless the matter is brought before
them in some tangible shape and then, as
they do not grant licenses TO keepers, would
ask IN what way can they act though there GER
Itany can be no doubt that the very respectable
gentleman who is now the chief burgess would ex-
lert himself to the utmost. But if the heads of fa
miles would come forward and address memorial
TO the council, requesting them, the representa-
lives OF the Inhabitants of the Borough. to
strict investigation to be made into the crcumstan.
ces; and then to apply as a public body and in the
cause and behalf of the citizens, 10 the court of
Common Pleas, requesting the judges to take away
the licenses OF those tavern keepers who have been
found to give encouragement to the meetings OF the
youth at their houses, there cannot, think, be
ANY room for believing but that the Judges, as con-
SENATORS OF the peace of society, would feel them
selves bound to withhold license from every man,
no matter who he might be, who should have been
found to have so far forgotten his duty both to his
God and his neighbor. to have hroStuted his Ii

Corn Exchange, AhriL 1O.--Our supply Of wheat
and oats from Ireland, during the week, was super
abundant, particularly in the present state of the
market, which we last week conceived could not
have been surpassed in duness, until we saw to-
days. The primest samples of wheat only meet
buyers at a reduction of Id to Cd per bushel and
in such small quantities that it is scarcely worthy
of notice.
Mails from France, Flanders and Holland arrv-
ed in town this morning. BY these arrivals we have
letters from St. Petersburg, Constantnople, Odes-
sa, Amsterdam, &C. relating to the important ques
ton still undecided between Russia and Turkey
We. however, are enabled to state that these &C.
counts essentially different from the statements
received in town on Saturday last.
In addition to these accounts, we are assured, up.
on the most respectable testimony, that government
are in possession of dispatches from lord Strang-
ford, dated Consantinople. the 9TH utmo, which
breathe any thing but war. In addition to this we
know that the Turkish Company are in possession
of letters OF the 9th from the British Consul which
merely state that at that PERIOD no fear was express
ed as to the favorable issue of the negotiation.
IRELANp.-The debate in the British House Of
Lords upon the proposal of the ministry to put the
corpus act in Ireland, was very animated. Amongst
those who spoke in favor of The measures proposed
we're the duke of Wellington and lord Redesdale,
who expressed opinions worth notice. The duke
of Wellington said that unless the bills pass
ed, not only the military force then in Ireland
inadequate to put down the insurgents, but that
$4,000 men could not effect the object; he form
ed this opinion he said from his knowledge of the
personal qualities Of the people and from the pecu
liar nature OF their country, which favorable to
such warfare as they seemed inclined to carry on.
Lord Redesdale said that he was in favor of the
measures proposed, violent as they were called, be.
Cause submission could not be produced by any thing
else. Violence, said he is the only means employ.
led by the Irish themseves--the common practice
amongst parents is to knock their children down for
any offence or supposed offence. In reply, lord Ho
land said that it appeared from the argument of lord
Redesdale, that the ministry about to follow
the aedged and reprobated example of the Irish !;
and instead OF gentle treatment, to knock them
down like beasts. Such course, he said, would
not alter the character of people admitted by lord
Wellington to be brave and hardy-and ii it would
require more than 100000 soldiers to make an i'm
preston, he would predict that Ireland was lost I'M
