IRELAND IN AGITATIoM


The Britannia reached Boston, on the
9TH inst. We have received but slipbt
sketch of her news, owing to some dis
arrangement ofthe wires ofthe telegram.
France, it is said. is the theatre Of
great excitement. Ledru Rollin has AT.
tempted to overthrow the Provisional
Government. Troops were arriving at
Paris from all parts ofthe country. The
supposed influence of the Bourgeoise or
middle classes over the Government is
supposed to be the cause ofhis hostility.
We rather suspect that he wishes to be-
at the head of it, which he is not. Ii
will be remembered that he is Minister
of the Interior.
The report states that Ireland contin-
ues in great excitement; that war is OPEN
ly threatened and is daily expected to
break out. God speed her cause.
MARKETS. The price of Cotton, at
Liverpool, was unchanged. Breadstuffs
are firm and prices have advanced. So
says the report; but the quotations are a.
bout the same as before. Corn is quoted
at "a 27s. per quarter Flour 26a27s.

because it was, as he conceived, still the
true policy Of the country; and because,
being opposed, as he was, to the propos-
ed mission 10 the Congress of Panama,
under any circumstances, he wished to
signify to the President and his Cabinet,
by a distinct expression of opinion by the
popular branch of the Legislature of the
Union, the views which they entertain OF
The true policy IF the country That OBJ
ject had been effected by the vote of yes
terday. BY that vote it was distinctly an
nounced by majority of the House, as
their opinion, that our policy with foreign
natious is the same now as that laid down
by Washington, in his farewell address
to the American People; that no circum-
stances had occurred in our foreign ie-
lalions, or i'll the political connections
of other powers with each other, which
authorized us to change that policy or 10
hazard the experiment Of a neV one. We
had distinctly declared it as our opinion,
by the adoption Of that amendment, that
our policy was now, as it ever had been,
to observe strict neutrality between all
belhgereRt powers; that in ertending our
commercial relations ,ciM foreign nations
'ace should hare 0tth them as little pOIitic.

Ihird.--Upon the subject of the tariff,
the currency, the Improvement of our
great highways, rivers, lakes and harbors,
the will of the people, as expressed
through theirrepresentatives inCongress,
ought to be respected and carried out by
the Executive.
Fourth.--The Mexican war. l sin
cerely rejoice at the prospect of peace,
My life has been devoted to arms, yet |
look upon war al all times and under all
circumstances as national calamity, TO
be avoided if compatible with national
honor. The principles of our Govern
ment as well as its true policy are oppos-
ed to the subjugation ofother nations and
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of other countries by
conquest. In the language of the great
Washington, "Why should we quit oul
own to stand on foreign ground" In the
Mexican war our national honor has been
vindicated. amply vindicated, and in die.
tating terms of peace we may well afford
to be forbearing and even magnanimou:
to our fallen foe.
These are my opinions npon the sub
jects referred to by you; and any reports
or publications, written or verbal, from
any source, differing in any essential par
ticular from what is here written, are un.
authorized and untrue.

One Good Of War.

1t is a settled Maxim in Constantinople
that war and the plague never visit tha
city at the same time; and this is founded
upon an experience of five centuries
which, has never once contradicted the
law.-The good Mussulmans tell yor
that this arises from the special regard O
Allah and his prophet for the faithful
worshippers; and that in recompense fol
their profession of Islam, the Turks will
never be exposed to two scourges at once
Another, if not better reason. may be
found in physical or physiological science;
and it is reason not confined TO the linn
its ofthe sacred city. "Pestlence," says
a profound writer, "is one of the natural
and appointed agents for preventing ex-
cess of population, and for removing that
portion Of communities which have fallen
off from the living stock of organized So
ciety and are only cumberers of the soil
and nuisances of creation. 1t is a de-
stroying and purifying influence, genera
ted out of the evil which is its mission to
remove; and never finding an organ or a
support. but in those circumstances which
require its action. War, in its physical
operalons,is an appointment for the same
purposes; and, as there is no necessity for
both a: the same time, they seldom ap,
pear together. The pestiIences which
have risen, from period to period, and
moved over the face of the world, have
almost invariably appeared in seasons Of
prosperity and peace. Duling times of
general collision among the European
powers, these visitatons have been with
held. If these facts be so, may we not
hope that the Mexican war will prove an
antidote to the cholera and thus save the
country from the terrors of domestic
enemy, more frightfu than all the hosts OF
the south.
The above cold.blooded and heartless paragraph
is taken from the Home Journal, u publication
proposing to be family newspaper and design.
ed to circulate in the family circle Such pub.
lications as these are patronized by many ofthose
who seldom read what they contain, but permit
them to be read by their children, whose minds
cannot but be contaminated by such speculative
theories AS the above Yet no person, of sound
princi ,'les can read them without a shudder.

CourI Of inquiry.

The report Of the trial of Gen. Pillow up TO the
18th of April has reached U.s. The latter part of
the evidence has been elected for the purpose of
proving that Gen. Pillow does not deserve the
credit OF planning the battle of Contreras. We
give the substance Of the testimony.
Capt. Taylor testifes that Pillow had told him.
the night previous, that things looked badly and
that the place was too strong to be attacked. He,
Pillow, intended to inform Scott of aud advise
him to leave it. Rather strange opinion for one
who had planned the attack.
Lieut., Beauregard testified that Pillow was on
posed to the plan ofthe attack.
Peoples, of the American STAR stated that he
had conversation with Pillow concerning his
intention otpublishing the Leonidas letter with
comments-that Pillow reminded him that he
never forgets his friends nor forgiyes his enemies
Lieut. Tilton testified that, utter the battle in
aconversation with Pillow, he had told him thai
the plan Of fattack originated with himself.
Trist testified that Pillow on tho night prece
ding the attack, told him that it was going to be
failure. Subsequently Pillow told him that ther,
ought to be no further active operations until tn,
army was reinforced
Per contra: After the battle, Pillow told Capt
Huger that he had arranged all the plans and tha
they had been successfully carried out.
Lieut. Berman testified that Burns denied mos
positively that he had written the Leonidas letter
1t will be remembered that he now claims to b,
the author
Lieuts' Mcconnell and Simpson testify that tn,
1rSt they saw of Pillow at Chspultepec was twen
ty minutes after the place had fallen.
Oh! Pillow. Oh! shame. o! Burns. OH 10

Congressional.

Saturday, April 20, and the following
Monday and Tuesday, we're principally
spent by the Members of Congress, in
attending the funeral of the Hon. CHEs-
TER ASHLEY, late Senator from Askan-
sas. The funeral was attended, also, by
the President and the Cabinet officers.
In the Senate, on the Sd, on motion of
MIR. Hannegan, the Presidents Message
in relation to Yucatan, was referred to
the committee on Forign Relations.
Bills passed-to allow U. S. Circuit
Court TO hold session at Chicago and to
grant pension to Mrs. Commodore Bar
ney.
Mr.. Butler presented a report, togeth-
er with bill on the subject of recover
ing fugitive slaves. The bill also i'm
poses penalty of $1,000 on any body
who aids in rescuing such fugitives after
their recapture.
Mr.. Hale offered resolution to instruct
judiciary Committee to report what leg
islatiye action was necessary to protect
colored citizens of fnon-slaveholding states
In their rights. Adopt ed, without debate.
After further debate the bill granting
land for the constru ction of railroad to
connect the Missi ssippi with the North
ern Lakes, was taken up and passed.
In the House, Mr.. McClelland moved
that the select committee appointed to
report on the question of Virginia Land
w arrants be discha rged from that duty.
On this motion, an animated reportsprang
up,in which Messrs. Taylor, Goggin Col
iamer, McClernand and others took part;
after which the whole subject was refer
red back to the committee of the whole.
After long discussion on the bill to
extend land bounties to promoted soldiers
the Committee rose and the House ad-
journed
In the Senate, on the 4th inst, Mr..
Hannegan reported bill, authorizing
the President TO take military possession
of Yucatan, and moved to make it the
order of the day for tomorrow. Mr..
Badger thought this too early Mr.. Cal
houn said Senators would not have time
to examine the subject. Quite long
debate ensued, which included the mer-
its of the Mexican War, when the bill
was made the special order of the next
day.
After the transaction of some unim-
portant business. the Senate adjourned.
In the House, a number of bills wero
reported from Committees, and referred
to Committee of the Whole. In the
course of the day, the Ten Regiment bill
was taken up, referred to the Military
Committee. A petition, respectfully
signed, for the purchase of Mount YER
non, presented and referred. No further
business Of public import was transacted.
Friday was principally occupied, by
the Senate, in the consideration Of the
Yucatan bill, which was left on the ta-
bic, by the adjournment. Messrs. Han
negan, Davis, Clayton and Foote parti-
cipated in the discussion.
The business of tho Mouse was of
misce ellaneous character. Mr.. Stewart in
troduced resolutions embodying the Tay-
lor platform, but objections being made,
they were not received.

Failure Of the Erie Bank

The Bank of Erie, at Erie, Pa, sus
pended the redemption of its notes abou
noon on the 9th inst. How bad the fail
ure is we know not, but presume the cir
culation of the Bank is from 5000, 900 tt
100000.
In February G. M, REED, owner of the
Bank, wrote to this city that he would
pledge every dollar of his private prop.

sustain the Erie Bank, Bill holders will
be glad have him keep the pledge
