THE FRENCH AssEAiBI,Y...

The fourth Of May, the day: appointed
for the meeting Of tic French Assembly,
lius pissed, and il is 10 be supposed ,hattiitts
meeting hast not been postponed second
time, on account of wnnt OF ttine to pro pi re ln
fo'r'he elections. Unfortunately for tie
tranquility ofihat bo,lynnd of tIe CITY of
Paris, the Minis.erof lie Interior has pul,l
lishe! q circular of q mos, threatening
character, in case the elections for the pro.
yinccs do not accord with the views Or
Paris. Such a measure, as may be con-
Jeclured, has excited the Indignation Of
the people in, most Of the strong towns in
France. Paris no longer rules France
will, the same sway which she exercised
in former times. Hence The direct re.
suit of this attempt to destroy, tho liberty
SO lately set up by the na,ion will be opposii-
lion and suspicion on tho part Of the coun-
try members in regard to those from the
city and those elected under its influence.
The probability is that this will hayyie,s yi,s,f 4
most banefnl influence on ibe proceediaps
OF The Assembly, who, Instead Of meeting
with the most cordial good will md al, on
crossing desire foSsthe benefit of their
country will meet with distrIst and ii sI,s-

THE IRlSH-W have received a circu-
lar from Mi. Thomas Mooney, OF Cincinnati,

calls attention to the meeting Of the friends

and the efforts making to raise men and mo
ney 10 send to their oppressed countrymen at
home.
We are not informed whether there or
are not any efforts making here 10 aid the
cause, nor are we prepared 10 give direct en-
eouragement TO the course proposed, of send
ing armed men 10 engage with that country
in a civil war or excite that war. whatever
may be the cause. We think the course OF
wisdom would require that those who are in
bondage, should, at least first strike the blow:
but, whatever may be the faults OF follies OF
tie Irish who still remain in their country,
whatever may be the differences Of religion
that divide them and lead them TO extrava.
ganccs, we vould be sorry to see that heart
that did not bleed for poor, suffering. oppres-
sell. starving Ireland. We would be sorry 10
touch the hand that WouIu notopen LOT 'htl'
relief The curse, not OF God, but oil man,
rests upon them. They starve amid the bur
thened harvest fields, x are. forbidden to eat.
The lords Of the soil eat up their labor and the
pensioners OF government revel on their hard
earnings, while their wives and children are
starving around them and sickness and death
des0laies their cabins
1t is wotul picture, and Ireland cries a
loud 10 God and man for redemptlon;but how
shall it be?
