burn replied, that the obJectsol Ahe COM
| mittee was to enable the government loal
ford immediate relief to the sunerlhg ana
distressed poor Of Ireland.-He was nap
py to say, that the result oil the measures
which the Government bad already acop,
ted mad been OF the most consoling ana
satisfactory nature. The accounts which
he had that morning received IRON those
parts Of the country, whichwere most dis,
t,,ossed was more satisfactory than ne
| could have yentured to anticipate some
DAYS ago. and led iiim to believe, that the
| subscriptions of the benevolent, aided ny
the exertions of Government, would carry
the people Of Ireland through all their dit
| ficult,es-if uot without suffering, al least
with les. suffering than had originally peeh
expected. The right hoa. Dennis brown
said, that be highly approved OF the mea-
sures taken by his Majesty's Ministers to
, relieve the distresses of Ireland, through
the medium of labor and employment.
Rational and permanent relief could only
be given to that country, or indeed to any
other by this means. Present misery had
been relieved by this generous country.
| No worse stamp could be put on the ma
! tonal character thar enabling population
F.. to live without labour. II is one OF The a.
nomalies of the present state OF Ireland.
( while the people are starving, export OF
provisions made from that country. This
is so strong a feature in the case, that 1t
! might appear prama facse. that this DIS
tress was exaggerated but though provi-
sions, such as meat, meal, NC. was as
cheap almost as he remembers 10 be al this
time Of the year, yet were the distress ana
misery real and the cause fit well known
to all those WHO know Ireland. There is
no money, no circulating medium in The
f! country ; he bad before written, and be-
fore said, that this state Of things must De
altered or the country could not 60 on.
Mr.. V. Fitzgerald expressedhis regret and
surprise that The hon. member Mr.. 81
should throw out 60 uDjusti6able an insln-
uation as the accounts OF the distress oil Ire
land were exaggerated; on the contrary,
the condition OF the people was, even IN
the neighborbood Of the hon. members re-
sidence, most frightful 10 contemplate.
The truest accounts were affecting enough
10 make the heart sick.-( Hear. hear.
He then described the alarming state OF
the county Clare, where famine aud ty-
plus ragged to degree that produced aw-
fiIi devastation, and stated his conviction,
that the distress was so intense and exten.
sive. that the funds which the charity OF
the public and the parliament bad raised
for its relief hitherto would be found 10,
sufficient. Mr.. Deonis Browne explained
! that be bad not said that there was no dis
tress in Ireland; be knew there was
distress there. He had said that the state.
ment would appear to be exaggerated, but
in fact it was not so.
! London, July 6.
From St. Petersburg the letters are da-
ted on the 18th June. Trade continued
much depressed, and in home produce
there was not the least variation in the va
lue. The exchange was rather higher be-
I, ing noted at 9 31.3e. From Odessa the
! letters are Gated on the 7th OF June. AT
that time the Turks had not evacuated Ell
tber Wallachia or Moljavia, nor was there
/ the slightest hope that they had any inten-
! ton of doing so. No part Of the Russian
army had retired from the Pruth; and not
withs,anding the .suppoed arrangement
OF all differences betwixt the legitimate
Government OF Turkey and Russia, the
same hatred and distrust continued. 1t is
totally impossible that IN their present spl.
/ rit and feelings, these two empires can re.
main long without coming to hostlitIes.
+, and the sooner an effort is made to expel
the Anti. Christians from Europe, the bet
i ter will it be for the civilized part OF the
world.
Letters from Holland report, that advi-
ces had been received from Constantine.
pie dated 80 late as the 9th of June, by
which the information had been made
known that the Asiatic troops which had
arrived there from the Provinces, had been
ordered again 10 occupy Wallachia and
Moldavia. Should this prove correct, it
may be considered that the sword and not
the pen, is the necessary instrument for a
negotiation with the Sublime Porte.
1t is Dow understood that the Christian
Governments have been grossly though
no doubt unintentionally deceived BY
their Ministers at Constantinople, on The
subject OF the negotiations, Min
; listers have, it is said, been misled by tbel
Christian Dragomans, who are all Catho-
lies, hate the Greeks, and lose no opportu-
nifty OF ipjuring them, having an old grudge |
against them too, on account OF their hsv-
ing formerly filed the place OF Turkish
Dragomsns, and in that capacity frequent.
ly counteracied them in their views. Ex-
perience proves, too, that the Dragomans
of Foreign Ministers are always more in
The interest oftbe Turks than OF that of
those by whom they are employed. This
is all natural enough, considering The state !
of dependence they are in with respect to
the Turks.
