The condition of Ireland had been made
the subject of IA thorough discussion in dc.
bate Of two days in the House Of Lords, and
one of nine days in the House Of Commons.
The debate ,hough very long, contained ma
ny interesting and eloquent passages. TO
which we shall hereafter recur. Ministry
we're sustained by vote of 324 to 225.-
MIR. O'Connell came over from Ireland and
spoke near the close OF the debate, as did tho
Irish Attorney General, Mr.. Smith, WHO 10
said to have made very able and successful
defence of his course. Some of the papers
insnuate that Mr.. O'Connel is at,emp,in,

negotiation with the wings for mutual ALT
ancc, bargain upon his part for which il
seems a'lneu'. 10 conceive wha, equivalent
