The methodIs,s in ireland.
The Dublin correspondent of the New
York Methodist writes;

The Dublin correspondent of the New
York Methodist writes: -.
When the bill authorizing the taking of
the census was passing through Parliament,
the clause which required return to be made
of the religious profession of each individual
was struck out for England and Scotland,
but retained for Ireland When the former
census was taken, the Methodists in Ireland
were, as body, completely ignored. An
enumeration was made of the three leading
denominations, namely, the Episeopalians,
the Presbyterians and the Roman Catholics;
but no provision was made for the Meth
odists, except under the heading, "0ther
Protestant dissenters." Now, many of our
people utterly refuse to consider themselves
dissenters, and when no provision was made
theirseparate enrolment they returned them
selves in connection with the established
church. AS a means of aseertaining the
comparative influence Of the various re-
ligious denominations, the census so taken
was therefore entirely misleading
On the present occasion some of the min
listers and members of our body bestirred
themselves in time to prevent a repetition of
the same blunder. They claimed from the
government separate place for the Meth
odists in the enumeration, and obtained q
promise that the claim would be allowed.
Every where our congregations were in
stTucted, by circulars upon the subject, and
by addresses from the ministers, that Meth
odists would be expected TO return them
selves as such; and that this designation
embracednot only those who were accredited
members of our Church, but all those also
who regularly woTshipped in our eougrega.
tiOns and cobscientiousy preferred our min
istry, together with the children of their
respective families. ID many placeg strenu-
Gus efforts were made, by appeals 70 their
prejudice against being considered dissentcrs,
and by other arguments, to misIead our peo-
pie into the absurdity of again enrolling
themselves as members of the established
church; but these efforts did not meet with
success, and there is good ground to expect
that, when the numbers are published, the
real strength of the Methodist body or bodies
in this country will be more clearly known
than heretofore. II the returns have been
made with any approach 70 correctness, there
win De not less than one hundred thousand
enrolled under the Methodist banner. III

Pc Under the title of "Une nouvelle Arme de
GueTTe," the Paris Pdtrie has some amusing
observations on the recommendation of the
Governor of Georgia to the persons placed
under his administration, to repudiate any
debts they may have in the Northern States,
and go prevent funds arriving among the
opposite party. The article is thus Worded:
While in Europe officers and savans are
laboring to improve old arms and to Invent
new engines of obstruction while in arsen-
ais and military schools the Armstrong and
the rified cannon, and the Delvigne, Mimic
and Enfield rifles are being studied, the
Americans, more ingenious. have, by few
dashes of the pen, found a mode heretofore
unknown to combat their enemies. 1t ia to
the Governor of Georgia, Joseph Brown,
that the merit of the discovery belongs.
Thanks to him, the protest Of bills and the
declaration of bankruptcies become arms of
war and political institutions. 1t is true,
however, that he has had to make profound
studies in order to arrive at these means, so
simple and so practical, of comb atting the
anti, slave States. He has had to consult
international law" sound policy" and
'justice ITSELF" in order to decide that the
Inhabitants of Georgia are not bound TO pay
their debts to their adversaries But the
vague "Considering,n says he, "that all
contracts entered into with the enemy dur
log hostilities are, according to international
law, null and Illegal" and considering
that, according to the language of interna.
tional law, the purchase of securities in the
enemy's country, or the sending and deposit
there Of funds, are illegal and dangerous
acts" etc. 1t may be asked, ,..and we confess
that we have put the question to ourselves,
Of what law and what nations Mr.. Joseph
Brown speaks.
II he does not die, in support of what he
says, Grotius and Puffendof, and Burlamaqui
and Count de Garden, it is because he does
not know them, for otherwise, with the
cleverness which we see displayed in his
proclamation, be would have invoked their
authority in prohibiting his fellow. citizens
from sending money to the inhabitants OF
the Northern States, "either in payment OF O
debt due or to become due, or on account,
or for any other reason, before the termina.
of hostilities." Do not suppose, however,
that Mr.. Brown wishes for the absolute ruin
Of his enemies. No; he knows that there
always comes moment at which accounts
must be settled. But what he asks from his
people is to pay into the Treasury of the
State, to which they owe nothing, the money
which is due TO the Inhabitants of the North.
The State will allow them seven per cent.
interest, and on the conclusion of peace the
accounts will be settled some way or other.
Thus the Georgians will not only have made
a good investment, with the greatest GER
tainty of being reimbursed, but they will
have fulfilled a patriotic duty. Great dan
gers call for great measures, has observed NJ.
de Salvandy, and in that way they almost
always offer great resources. But did NJ. de
Salvandy think of the protest of bills.
