IRELAND.
Reports gain ground in Dublin that
Sir Robert Peel cOntemplates some
comprehensive policy in respect 10 Irish
grievances.
The repealers have endeavored 10 get
up counter prosecution against Mr..
Fredk. Bond Hughes, the government
short hand writer. for Perjury. A long
discussion ensued on the legsIty Of the
procedure, which ended in the magis-
irates definitely refusing TO take the in-
formations:
Repeal meetings have been held in difI
fcrent wards of Dublin, and resolutions
passed in support Of Mr.. O'Connell. Al
one Of these, in the Post Office ward, on
Saturday, he gave an explanation re-
specting what he had said on the previ>
Ous Monday about Federal Parliament.
at had been most enormously supPOS.
ed BY some persons lhlt he changed
his mind on the subicc' Of Repeal. 1t
was scarcely necessary for him 10 say
that any such impression was totally er-
rOneouS. He had merely repeated on
Monday what he had often before, and
long since stated on the subject Of a
movement then in contemplation respec-
ting the Sttainment Of Federal Parlia'
ment. But then, as we'll as OH Monday
last, he fully retained his own opinion
that nothing short of Repeal could or
ought 10 satisfy the people of Ireland /,
and that nothing else would afford an
efficient remedy for the manifold Vriev-
ances Of the country. He was still firms
ly attached to the priuciple Of independ-
ent legislation; bat having reason to be.
lisve that movement for Federal Par
lament would rally a considerable and
influential party, he had expressed himr
self ready TO make the experiment, be-
cause he felt conscious that the result
would be still deeper conviction that
in Repeal alone The true remedy would
be found. He had been promised the
support Of very powerful party in Eng.
land, and he han reason also to calculate
upon the adhesion of very influential
party in Ireland. BY a post Of tO-mor.
row he would probably know to what ex>
tent the English party he alluded TO would
be prepared to Cooperate with him. -
But he believd he might then state that
the Irish party upon whose aid and CO.
operation he had been led to calculate
we're neither so numerous nor so inhuens
tial as he had imagined. Most grateful
was he, however, to both, for their good
wishes, TO his English friends he was
doubly grateful; but while entertaining
and expressing these opinions, he was
bound to declare, that he was still Of the
opinion that it was only in Irish House
OF Commons, and in an Irisn House OF
Lords, that the wrongs Of Ireland could
be redreSsed and the rights Of Ireland
maintained"
At meeting in St. Andson's Ward,
on Sunday, he made the following deCla
ration:
"Givs me six months Of perfect peace,
and III give you my head on 3 block, If
at the end Of that time you have nOi
Parliament in College Green!"
