On "Wednesday the state OF Ireland
became the subject Of discussion 10 The
House of Lords, on the motion of the
Duke of Deuonshire, who moved :. Sc
ries of resolutions expressive ''of the
disposition of the House to concur 10
those measures necessary to repress
the spirit of violence prevalent in Ire
land; but experience having proved
that measures Of coercion were INSULT
cient to remove the root OF the evil, it
was the duty Of the House TO apply
itself. withoul further delay, toexamine
the state of that country, with view
to provide remedy" The measures
recommended by the noble Duke, as
likely to conciliate Ireland, were, first.
concession to the Catholics secondly,
an arrangement with respect to tithes;
thirdly, the Infringement Of the power
of the Protestant faction, which has
long predominated in Ireland: and
lastly, a vigilant attention to the ad-
ministratioD of the laws. The inquiry
pressed for by the noble mover OF the
resolutions, though SO imperiously de-
handed by the present wretched situa-
ton of Ireland, was opposed by admin
islratiou, not indeed by direct mega
tive. but by moving the previous ques.
ton, on the ground that government
had already taken considerable pains to
ameliurate the situation of Ireland, and
tina, they were still ready toadopt every
practicable measure for that purpose;
and Lord Bathurst enumerated, at con-
siderable length, the different steps
which had been taken to lessen or re-
move many of the evils complained of.
Lord Holland, in reply to this reason.
ing, Justly observed, that the cum total
of what Ministers had advanced was
this-,hat so many blooms had been
granted to Ireland. that there was no
reason to investig gate the admitted evils
which still remained-evils of most
appalling nature and most fearful mag.
nitude: and the Earl of Carnarvan sta
ted, that the enquiry recommended oy
the noble Duke would do more towards
tranquilizlng Ireland than all the expe
dents that had hitherto been adopted
and he stated it as his opinion, that the
present situation of the country was
s4ch that lf2O ,0OOmen were landed there
the existing government wouldbe over
thrown. The motion, after protract-
ed debate, was ultimately rejected by
considerable majority, there voting in
tabor of it, includiugproxies SO, against
it, los. We do not think it necessary
to make any observations on the deci-
sion to which the House of Lords has
come to on this momentous subject, as
the consequences likely to result from
this determination not to inquire are so
obvious and alarming, as at once to pre-
sent themselves to every rejecting and
unprejudiced mind.
