But it is my painful duty to observe that the
disturbances in Ireland, to which adverted at
The close of the last session, have greatly in
creased.
A spirit of characterization and violence has
risen to the most fearful height, rendering life
and property insecure, defving the authority of
The law, and threatening the most fatal conse-
quences, if not promptly and effectually re-
pressed
] feel confident that to v our LOYALTY and pat
rlot'sm shall not resort in vain, for assistance
IN these affecting circumstances, and that YOU
will be ready to adopt such measures of saluta
nv precauton, and to entrust to me such addi
tional powers as NAV be found necessary for
controlling and furnishing the distnrbers of the
public peace, and strengthening the legisla-
tive Union between the two countries, which.
with your support, and under the blessing of
Divine Providence, / am determined to main

connected with the peace, security and welfare
Of nv domnions.
In reading the speech, the King laid pecu-
liar emphasis on the passage relating to the
disturbed state of Ireland, and was particular
" emphatic when he expressed his determine
ton to uphold the Union of England and Ire
land. The troubles in that kingdom evidently
caused much uncasiness. A London paper re-
marks-"We have reason to believe that the
Government have decided upon strong meas
ures beng used for the tranquilization of that
country, and also that the Marquis of Anglesea
will return to Dublin"
The most interesting intelligence is that
which relates to the people Of Ireland, in whose
favor there has been sudden and strong mani
festation in the Hose ofCommons of England.
In that body on the 11th, the Chancellor ofthe
Exchequer having moved the adoption of the
answer to the Kings speech. Mr.. Lalor and
other catholic members, protested against
declaration volunteered in proceeding sitting,
that thew were prevented by their oaths, from
eoislaing on the affairs of the church. Mr..
O'Connell declared, that he had an equal right
with any other member to legisate on church
affairs, and it were not so, he might as well at
once be expelled from the House. The read
ing Of The address to the king was interrupted
sttnte. The substitute was lost, % to 323.-
On the 18th, the address was presented at
Windsor, the house having adjourned, until 4
o'clock On the return of the speaker, (minis-
tiers and twenty members having proceeded to
Windsor with the address,) the speaker COM
municated the Kings answer, in substance, as
follows: 81 thank the Commons for their loyal
and respectful address, and for the assurance
thew give me Of their disposition to aid my eff
forts for the preservation invioate OF the union
betw cen Ireland and England, and for the re-
preston of violence; in short, the house may
he assured that l shall continue my efforts for
the removal of all Just grounds of complaint
throughout my kingdom" The answer was
received with great applause.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer in bring
ing forward the measures proposed IN Irish af-
fairs, on the 18th, stated that the ministry had,
in this undertaking, done their utmost to provide
a remedy for all the abuses pertaining to the &C.
clesiastical laws. They had appointed ma
gistrates, without any distinction of sccts, and
among the sherlhs and lord leutenants of coun-
ties, there were quite as many catholics as pro-
testants. They sought, in reference to the
tithes, he said. to relieve the tenant, without
despoiling the landlord; they proposed to dis
ribue the burdens more equtably, and to regu
late the contracts between the tenant and pro-
prietor. He then described in detail, the anne
Iteration projected in the system.
As to the taxes for the support of the church,
he said the new plan differed entirely from that
of the titles, and was far less onerous to the
catholics; The tithes, he said, they were dispos>
ed to abolish entirely. burst of applause
The change would afford relief to the people
of about 100000 per annum. The deaneries
are abolished, and the number of bishops is re
duced from % to l2,and thus farther retrench-
ment of 60,0O0l would be effected. He con-
cluded by expressing the hope that these meas
ures would vndicate the good intentions of the
government, and be approved by the House.
Prolonged applause)
Mr. Goblet has been very loquacious, and
has not failed to attempt strengthening his ar
guments by facts and assertions relative to this
and has made some egregious errors
for instance, he declared that Washington
signed the Declaration Of Independence.
Mr.. O'Connell deGomlnated the Kiug's
speech a "brutal and bloody Speech" The
debates are of the most piquant kind, if indeed
a broader and buntor word would not be more
expressive.
