ANOTHER WAR SPEECH.

Gown, in the event OF war with America
growing out of The Texas and Oregon question.
II would seem that the Premier had joins, d
hands and taken the amicable offer Of he agi,a.
tor to "bring down the American flag to the
dust and dirt" under the lions paw. But it
tak"s two to make bargain and although the
conci'iatory policy Of ministers may gain the
hearts Of the Irish people, will be for the Amer
'csns to aefee to the degradation in store for
them under Mr.. O'Connell's conditions-and
possibly they might revert the decision in
practice.
We have now an assurance that the policy of
evaporation tow ards Ireland, either by real or
supposed injuries, will be finally abandoned, and
ell grievances will be removed, saving the II.
'icn. The minister, indeed, fplici'a,ed himself
on his conciliatory Irish policy taking place in
advance Of his Oregon speech. Upon this to.
pc we have little extra additional news, which
states that the Maynooth College Bill did pass,
8l3 to l1G, after an exciting speech by Sir Ro.
bert Peel. We subjoin extracts from the
spoech; they will repay perusal: -
He denied that ministers had consulted with
any Of the political leaders or clergy of Ireland,
nor had any ministers ever entered INTO any ne
gociations with the Pope, relative to this grant,
hether was the grant any part of II general sys.
