There has been an important debate in the Bri
tsh Parliament on the Oregon, disclosing the view

O'ConnelI, unable longer to Withstand the pressure
from the leaders Of the Young Ireland party, will
attempt, in the course Of the ensuing summer, to
reorganize monster meetings on the same scale as
those which created SO much apprehension in the
year iS43.
1t appears that O'Conrell has become perfectly

is reported that he could not find words in the Eng
