IRELAND letter dated at Tippe.
rary on the 18th ultimo says -" This
country is becoming much agitated by
the discussion Of the question OF the re-
peal Of the Union with England, hut
they have no chance OF carrying it -
The idea OF having what they term an
independent Parliament in Ireland is a
complete deIusioni and, in my opinion,
nnetenths OF the advocates Of repeal
look forward 10 a separation Of the two
countries. This, if altainable, could on
~ be by the saciifce Of thousands of
lives. | am afraid that OConneIl is
Leading his followers to the verge Of a
fearful precipice."
