Sin Your readers will be no doubt some what
disappointed to find that the intelligence by this
packet is of the character as that received by
the last despatch. The Maynooth bill is still
the 'squestio vexata'' in this country, and there
is as yet but little prospect Of a termination
to the excitement occasloned by its discussion
in the British Parliament. Sir Robert Peel remains
nfexible in his determination to carry out his plans
to the last and has been hitherto supported by large
majorities The third reading is fixed for the 18th
instant. The opponents of this measure have met
in large numbers throughout the kingdom and ex-
pressed their intention Of overthrowng the measure
or else getting rid of the present House of Com
mons speedily as possible. A conference
of deputies from all parts of the country has
been held in this city, with view to infu-
ence the parliamentary representatives, but
but trifng. The repealers in Ireland, SO far
from being conciliated by the government
proposition, have urged it fresh Indictment TO
agitate for disruption of the Union. Repeal is
looking up there is no denying the fact that con-
cession has made its advocates more rampant than
ever" In this dilemma is the ministry placed, hav
ing excited the Indignation of all England and the
agitation of all Ireland. In addition TO these evils
there are evident symptoms of uneasiness amongst
some of the ministerial attaches. Mr. Pringle one
of the Lords of the Treasury, has already resigned
and it appears more than probable that his example
will be followed by others of more weight than him.

FRAScE.--M. Guzot has. been compelled to
retire from the French cabinet for time
to his seat at Passy, in consequence Of long
continued indisposition. M. Duchatel is his tenn
porarry substitute. The opposition papers say
that his wi,hdrawment is likely to prove permanent;
but the Journal des Debats afirms to the contrary
and states that he is even occupied the right
of search and Texas questions. The Times of this
day says: at seems to be, but we still hope erro-

ment manifested its adherence to its policy Ocea
