miscreants who have given strength
to the enemies, and weakened the
friends Of Ireland.
But still lido not despair of my coun-
try. No. Even in the crimes which
are committed against her, there arises
a hope that these crimes will accele-
rate their own punishment, and create
thereby that state of things which will
insure the speedy restoration of our
national and constitutional independ-
|ence.
Believe me to be very faithfully yours,
DANIEL O'CONNEL.
FRANCE.
Nothing of general interest appears
to have recently occurred in France.
The debates in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, as is not unfrequently the case,
were extremely violent, especially in
regard to a complaint of NJ. Viennet, a
Deputy, who had been accused by the
Tribune, a republican paper, with be-
ing in the pay ofthe cabinet. The ed
itor was summoned to the bar, by a
small vote, and would probably be
punished for the offence.
I 1t was rumored in Paris that Lord
Stuart dc Rothsay was about to replace
Lord Granville as Ambassador to that
Court from England.
PORTUGAL.
In the ever-changing aspect of affairs
presented by the contending brothers
at Oporto, the cause of Don Pedro ap-
pears once more on the ascendant. He
has effected an adjustment of the diff
Guilty with Admiral Sartorious, by ac.
ceding to his demands, and consequent.
| ly retaining him in his service with u
naval force superior to that of Don
Miguel.
Lisbon dates are to the Goth of March,
on which day Don Carlos and the Prin-
cess of Beira arrived in the Tagus from
Spain. A letter from that city ex.
presses a decided opinion that Don
Pedro will ultimately succeed, and
adds:--
"Helanded with less than 7 900 men,
and has now 1900 well disciplined
men, well differed; while, on the con.
trary, Don MigQel's 10000 men, with
which he originally environed Oporto,
is diminished down TO $4,000, of whom
only 5000 are regular soldiers; the re-
mainder are guerillas and militia, and
are very sickly, and badly clothed, to
remedy which latter the inhabitants of
this city are called on to furnish shirts,
and other apparel"
SPAIN.
The latest intelligence fromthe cap.
ital of this country is to the LIST ultimo
and principally relates to the distrac.
ton that prevails in the Councils of the
King. The weakness and oscillation
OF the Kings mind are becoming daily
more evident, and the forthcoming e.
vents in a country swayed by such q
government, despotic in its power, anc
influenced moreover by degrading sub.
Iservlency to a bigotted priesthood, il
is impossible to ioresee.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The King of Holland gives no indi.
cation of any design to accede to the
course pointed out for him by England
and France; and the Belgians complain
of the inefliciency Of the blockade oil
the Dutch ports which those powers
commenced. We have neither time
nor space for any extracts today.
SICILY.
A letter from Messina, under date OF
23d February, gives a melancholy ac
count of the condition of the people of
this island. Famine, less extensive.
but scarcely less deplorable and afflict-
ing IN its character than that of theCape
de Verbs, has produced sickness, de-
ISOLATION and death. The misfortune
was occasioned principally by a success
sion for many months of heavy rains
and dark mists, which covered the
lplains with water, and prevented the
sowing of the crops.
ENGLAND.
The adjournment ofParliament leaves
us the selection OF such domestic oc-
Icurrences only as the interval of five
days may be presumed to furnish.
The renewal of the charters of the
Bank of England, and of the East In.
dla Company, were topics of great in
terest, and discussed with great earn.
estness, not only in the public papers,
but IN private circles. A projet was on
foot to establish, in place of the pre-
sent institution, a National Bank on
different principles of organization.
1t IS quite evident from the tone of
Leading Journals, particularly of the
Times, which generally catches and
follows the first impulse of the popular
breeze, that the Grey ministry is on
