and Liverpool to the 2lst have been re-
ceived.
The most important news by this arriv
al is the arrest Of Mr.. O'Connell the eel
ebratcd Irish patriot The disturbances
both in England and Ireland continued
and this event is by no means calculated
to allay them.
The eyes Of the empire are again in
tensely fixed on Ireland the cry of dis
content is now general in that unhappy
country, and the firm as well as the timid
look with apprehension to the result.
We however are sanguine in the opinion
that nothing like a cmvulsion is at hand,
and that the agitation which is now a
broad will not assum, a more formidable
appearance. The Repeal of the Union
is no doubt sighed for by many, and MIR.
O'Conncll, may be Ike a straw floating
on the current of public opinion, but Par
lament soon meets and Ministers will no
doubt take those decisive steps which the
occasion demands. Ireland wants trade
and manufactures, sources for her enter
prize, food for her children, grant her
these and she is secure, her passions will
slumber, and she will no more be diver
ted from the prosecution of her legitimate
interests.
Lord Anglesca appears determined to
enforce the law which he has been cal
led to administer and every effort of MIR.
O'Connel to agitate is met by Procla-
nation which cramps his energies at least
for day.
From the Liverpool Mercury Jan. 2l.
Arrest of Mr.. O'Connell, Mr.. Steele,
MIR. Barrett, Mr.. John Reynolds. s.
Mr.. Lawless, on a charge of conspir-
ing to cvade the proclamation act.
On Tuesday morning the house of Mr..
/ IO'Connell, in Marrion-square, was visi-
ted by Mr.. Farrell, Chief Constable, and
Peace-oilicer Irwin, who, upon being
admitted to that gentleman's presence,
stated that they had warrant against
him, issued from the Head d-ofiice, on a
charge of conspiracy, to evade the proc
lamations recently promulgated by the
Lord Lieutenant After long conver-
sation, which we have not space to no.
tice, Mr.. O'Connel entered into the
requisite securities, himself in 1901 and
two sureties in 5OOL each. Mr.. Barrett,
Mr.. Steele, Mr. Reynold, and Mr.. Law
less were all served with the same pro-
cesscs, and all gave bail.
/ We shall offer no decided opinion on
this proceeding, until we know some-
thing more of the nature Of the alleged
offence. AT present it appears to us that
the Irish Government have shown more
zeal than discretion in the affair.
4 There had been a great meeting at
Liverpool at which resolutions were pas
sed in favor of opening the trade to In
dia, in case Of the renewal Of the East
India Company's Charter.
From the London Morning Chronicle Jan. 20.
We received last night Hamburger
Papers to the 18th of January. The ac-
counts from Poland, protesting to give
an account of the feelings Of the people,
are evidently deserving of little credit.
1t would appear that movements are taxi
ing place in Hanover, as well as other
parts of Germany. The following are
extracts.
WARSAW, Jan. GA letter from Bres-
pol of the 23d Of December, says
''Twice as many soldiers are being le-
We'd in Russia as was at first ordered.
Prussia, Jan. 4th.-According to
creditable accounts, Gen. Chlopicki has
revoked all the Ordinances which tend
to a separation of Poland. Hopes are
still entertained that every thing will be
settled amicably. A conviction gained
ground that the insurrection proceeded
from the great Mobiles, and has not yet
awakened great zeal among the peasant
ry. This opinion is confirmed by the i'll
success of the arming Of the pcasantry in
many parts of the kingdom. It is a fact
that the bastinado is ordered for those
who hesitate to obey the calls to arms.
Doubts may be entertained respecting
the patriotism which requires such me ans
to arouse it. The fears of compulsory
measures has already caused numerous
emgrations to our Polish and Prussian
frontier provinces.
II The feeling in France seems to be
strong in favor of Intervention in behalf
of the Poles, and union with Belgium;
and it will be exceedingly difficult for
Louis Philip to resist the torrent. With
respect to Belgium, the diplomatic in
trigues having evidently for their object
to regain that country for the Prince Of
Orange, has produced an effect quite
different from what was intended. The
Belgians, disturbed in their commerce
by the Dutch, and suffering in their man
