LATE FROM ENGLAND.

LA T. T 1NON 1INUAANOs
The arrivals from Europe come in more
crnl weeks previously.
The British Parliament were engaged in
preparing measures for the suppression Of the
disturbances in ireland. The bill that had
been introduced by Lord Grey into The House
Of Lords, and which it would seem had pass
ed that body, was a strong measure, and JUS
| tilted by the ministry upon the sole ground Of
necessity. That necessity was acknowledged
! to exist on both sides Of the House, the Duke
! of Wellington and Lord Eldon giving it their
decided and cordial support. This course has
been SO often called for, and so often pursued
towards that island, and the consequences Of
! it are necessarily so unfortunate to the discOn-
tented classes of inhabitants, thatit seems to
J be quite remarkable that it should be so often
provoked. Whatever complaints may exist,
and however well founded many ofthem may
be, it is not to he supposed that the govern
mcnt will submit to threats of disunion, or
| yield to actual disturbances and insur:ection.
This is obvious from the course now pursuing
by the present ministry. The present cabinet
is composed of the old wings, they have es-
tablished the old wing principles Of reform,
and are now making the first experiment I'M
der that system. But, when it is found that
disturbances exist in Ireland, that the laws
are violated, the peace broken, excuses are
committed, and lives destroyed, the wing
ministers adopt the same measure, and pur-
sue the same course towards Ireland, that the
tories did when they were in power. The
| wings are not more likely to consent to re-
peal Of the union, than the tories would be if
at the head of the government. The poor in
| habtants will be the real sufferers under the
present state Of things, and they will eventual
y fall short of the object at which their lead
ers are aiming-the repeal of the union.
| After all that has occurred, it would seem,
that the difficulties between Holland and Bel.
GUM are by no means adjusted. The King
of Holland still persists in rejecting the pro-
| posals for that purpose that have been tender
| ed to him, and continues to claim from the
powers who are endeavoring to settle his dis
pntes, terms essentially different from those
| which they think proper to offer for his ac-
ceptance.
Nothing decisive appears to have taken
place between the contendng parties in Por-
tugal. The accounts in the English papers
are often widely different from each other
the friends of Don Pedro representing his af-
! fairs promising eventual success. the adhe-
rents to the interests ofDOn Miguel insist, that
the prospects Of the young queen are quite
desperate.-N. Y Daily Adver.
Great Britain.-The most important intelli-
gence from England is the proceedings of
Parliament on the subject Of Ireland, and the
sweppng reform proposed 10 the Church Es-
Enlistment Of that distracted country.
The address of the Lords 10 answer to the
speech from the throne, was moved on the
5th, by the Marquis of Conyngham. 1t was
| opposed by the Earl of Aberdeen. who took
| occasion to arraign the foreign policy OF Min
isters-contending that they had placed Eng
land in the train of France. Lord Grey repli-
ed, and the Duke Of Wellington rejoined. The
debate, however, was not extended to great
length, and the address was adopted with a
protest from few Of the Conservatives, dis
sentng from the conduct Of the Government
in regard to the attack upon Holland.
In the Commons the address was moved
on the same day by Lord Ormelie. The de-
bate was animated-O'Connell assaied the
government with great virulencc. He was re-
piled to by Mr.. Secretary Stanley. The de.
bate was extended through several sittings.-
The leading speakers on the 9Th were, E. l..
Bulwer, Mr.. M'Auley, Mr.. Shiel, Mr.. G.
Grant and Lord John Russell. On the 9TH the
debate was renewed, and Mr.. Goblet was the
speaker in chief, and acquitted himself, as it is
said, in his happiest style. The Morning
Chronicle says, "he lashed both Mr. Macau-
ley and Mr.. Stanley in strain of sarcasm Pc
culiarly racy. He Analysed the American
Declaration Of independence, drawn up by
Mr.. Jefferson, and certainly showed that the
analogy between the cases of Ireland and
America was not so remote as some gentle
men had supposed it to be-"
The debate was again adjourned over 10 the
9th, when it was renewed, and after a long
discussion, an amendment, which had been
proposed by Mr.. O'Connell, the object of
which was to test the question Of the Repeal
OF the Union, was rejected by the very deci-
slve vote Of 428 to 4O-being a majority for
the Ministers of S8s. Another amendment,
offered by Mr.. Tenny, and seconded by Mr..
Hume, was voted down by majority of SSS.
The Address was then adopted as originally
reported.
On the nth, the Chancellor of the Exche.
quer having moved the final question Of the
Address, Mr.. Lalor and other Catholic mem
bers. protested againsta declaration volunteer
ed in preceding sitting, that they were pre-
vented by their oaths from legislatng on af-
fairs Of the church. MFR. O'COnnell declared
that he had an equal right with any other
member to lpgislate on church affairs, and If
it were not SO, he might as well be at once
expelled from the House. The reading Of the
Address to the King was interrupted by a mo-
fiOn from M C0hNOtf nr0nOe;nm o e,hs1;,u.u
