FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

ENGLAND AND lRELAND.--1hc most inter-
csting nows relates to England and Ireland in
both which countries the condition of things is
aarmngly menacing to the continuance of
peace. Ere this, undoubtedly demonstration
has been made on both sides of the Channel,
which will be productive of important results.
The course of the English Government towards
the Chartists at home aud the Rcpealers in Ire.
land has been Of similar character with that
of Louis Philippe towards the promoters Of the
reform movements in France The prospect
seemed, at last accounts, to be that the parallel
would be carried still further, even to actual
civil war The London correspondent Of the
Boston Atlas, a careful aud judcious writer,
usually, writes as follows, under date of the 9TH
inst;
London Is at this moment in very agitatod state.
Every body Is talking about the movements Of the
Chartsts. The Government am assured, is max
ing extraordinary military preparations. The i'm
mense stock Of guns, pistols, and swords which
have been kept at the Tower, were yesterday dis
tributed all over the metropolis. Several regiments
Of troops arc ordered Immediately to London, and
soldiers to be distributed at various points hay
ing ball cartridges in abundance.
These precautions are taken TO proven, any dis.
turbanccs on Monday next, the day appointed for
Chartist meeting on Kensington Common. 1t is
varousy estimated that from SO 900 to 900 per-
will be present at that meeting. The object Of
the meeting Is to form procession, and march 10
the Houses Of Parliament, there to deliver to Mr.
Feargus OConnor n monster petition, which he
will present to Parliament.
There is nothing Objectionable in the petition, bat
the Government fear that some disturbances will en-
sue from such a formidable mass of men. To-day
the Government have issued proclamation forbid
ding The meeting! This has somewhat claimed the
minds OF the upper classes and trades-people; but
this afternoon the Chartists (now in convention in
Fitzroy Square) passed unanimous resolution that
they could hold their proposed meeting, notwtl
standing the government proclamation 1t is be-
cause know that these two or three hundred thou
sand Chartists, now in London, are SO determined,

there will be collision between the troops and the
people on Monday. fear that the scenes Of Paris,
Vienna, and Berlin, will be re-enaced in the streets
Of London.

Looking at the revolutionary state Of nil Europe,
there is certainly great cause for alarm In London
not only in London but Dublin, and in fact, in the
whole kingdom.
Cabinet councils Are HE'D daily, and am assured
that ministers scarcely know how to act AT one

will remember that she was only recently confined,
besides which it is cold and wet day; nevertheless
it was deemed advisable for her to leave town
1t may be concluded that nothing else is now the
topic of conversation in the streets and in houses,
but the Chartist demonstration in London, and the
Repeal demonstration in Dublin Every boarding
in this metropolis is covered with large placards,
addressed to the people, either calling upon them to
come forward on Monday and obtain their rights,
or warning them against this Revolutionary move
ment. Scores Of people stand before these posters
and attentiyely read them. heard several persons
call the posters which warned them against meeting

IRELAND is at this moment in a most critical
state, and 1t is impossible to say what turn affairs
may take within one week. The government has
made military preparations on a most extensive
scale. Dublin is filled with troops and most of the
public buildings have been taken as barracks. Ii Is
evident that formidable demonstration against the
government is fully determined upon by the people
The leaders are Smith O'Brien, Mcagher, and
MITCHELL who openly recommend every man to pro

known that all the blacksmths are at work day and
night manufacturing pixies. The government are
apprsed Of this fact, and hence the great militar,
preparations.
Ii is believed that the Repealers Of ireland ant
the Chartists Of England are so far united in on'
common cause, that whenever day is appointed
for striking blow in Dublin the Chartsts vii
strike blow in London. Tuesday, the Ilth vii

To increase the difficulties and embarrassment
Of the government at this critical period, new
movement has been started in Ireland. The lead

others Of high standing and influence, have got VI

manding local legislation! The promoters Of thi
important movement say that they sympathize in tn
prevalent opinion Of the people for selfgoyernmen
and they ask for Irish Parliament.
II is stated that large number OF iniuentis
Protestant gentlemen, who have hitherto been de
termined Anti-Repealers, have recently declare
themselves in favor Of a Repeal of the Union.
At the last meeting Of the Repeal Association
