| Lords on the 10th iien, the motion for the
third reading of the Relief Bill. The measure is
said 20 have been well received in Ireland, with
out any OF the extravagant demonstrations Of Joy
which by some had been feared. The condition
OF the manufacturing districts Of England contin-
ued 10 be deplorsbe; that Of the Spitalheld Wea-
vers had been but little allevidted, though active
measures had been taken, by the Corporation OF
London to assist them.--The accounts relative TO
the present Belligercnts may be summed up, by
saying that both Russia and Turkey are coniinu-
ing preparations for the campaign an immense
scale.-RuiDours OF probable disturbances be-
tween other Powers were circulating in London,
but nothing OF certainty had occurred to disturb
\ the general harmony. Among other reports
was, that England was about TO side with Tur-
! key, which however was narrowed to determi-
nation on her part TO protest against the blockade
| OF Gambia by Russia, as England had committed
herself to the Nce-Roy Of Egypt, that il he would
eyacuate the Mores, he should not be elsewhere
disturbed. Another report was, that Don Miguel
had oieied an Indignity TO his sister. aud that
she bad been representative OF royalty, the King
OF Gre Britain would avenge her wrongs, and
dispose Don Miguel; for which purpose, troops,
1t was said were about 10 embark for Lisbon, pro-
vided however Austria did not first interfere.
Another account was, that England was about to
send 10000 troops TO the Mediterranean. Il was
also said that Don Pedro had a naval and military
! force on their way to the Western Islands. One
OF the English Journals intinates that il Eng Land
does not interfere, France will send troops to Por-
tugal
| The report Of treaty between Russia and Prus-
sra had not been confirmed, and although il was
said that the latter power the point of fur
nishing large body Of troops against Turkey, yet
there was no confirmation % the statement. the
conduct OF the King OF France in relation TO the
Communal and Departmental laws cannot but be
offensive to his subjects; the provisions of them,
as far as we have understood them, retained the
power Of appointing the principal magistrates, Civ
ing to the people the right OF eectiug only the
| interior ones.
! The Tobacco Monopoly is also cause of grea,
dissatisfaction. and there is every appearance of
! its being retained by the Government. We shall
not be surprised, if in the present depressed state
| OF England and Ireland, the Government OF the
United Kingdom should be disposed to give en-
ploynentto the disafteced. and distressed portion
| oil the two nations, by engaging in war with Rus
sa, ior we not alone in the belief, that but for
the state OF Ireland, England, would long ere
this, have endeavoured to put a stop to the ambi-
tious projects of Russia.
