Some of the papers have been speculating on a move in tlbe Irish Government. Lord BRIsroL, says a revived rumour, in to succeed Marqutis WVLLESI.Y, and Mr. WIr.- mo,T HoIrTON iS to supersedle the present Secretary of State for Ireland. We cannot trace tbe formnerpart, at least, of this intelligence to a reputable souree; nor is there the slightest ground for believing that ally difFerence -among Miuisters upon Irish questioiis extends either to the persopi of the LORD LI FE?J&NANT, or to the gystemn of tho Exe- cutive Governmnent. The noble Lord at the liead of His MAJrsT-'s Council3 makes n1o secret (it is said in well- informed circles) of his satisfaction at thc state of Ireland, notwithstanding the mutual efforts of party to disturb it by menaces, criminations, and prophecies of change in spirit, principles, or personis. The truth in, that bowevcr-touble. some the war of words may be, it is thc only warfare now perceptible in Ireland, where popular outrages no longer exist, and the KING's peace has been for monthas past as well preserved as in the nmost tranquil spot of tile Ulnited Kingdom.

Wednesday's Paris papers eontain hardly any thing worth notice. The Constitlutionnel hints at the extrerne difficulty which Ministers are likely to experience in carry. ing their finance measure through the Chamber of Peers, and at some irregular expedients to which recourse may bc had for sparing them a severe disappointmetnt. A letter in the Journal des Debats boasts of the tranquillity prevalent throughout Spain, and of the resources wvhich she is about to derive from her western colonies. There undoubtedly appears to lurk some matter for suspicion under the per- petual recurrence to this prophetic language, in the parti- sans of logitimate Goverumenit. lVe subjoin all that is vorth extracting- (looiteur of Wednesday, Mlay 19.) The official part contains only the mention of the presentation of 31. Casa Irugo, Secretary to the Spanish Legation, in the quality of Cbarge d'Affaires, till the arrival of the new Ambassador rhom King Ferdirand intends to send to.Paris. The non-official part is filled with Lisbon news of the 3d, extracts frora the English journals, and the debates of the Chambers. The Etoik, dated Thursday, contains nothing at all interesting besides the news from Greece, in the other mornirg papers, unless it be the following, from PERPIGNAN, M1AY 10. D.

Mfr. faou'*1t,M, In the course of Tuesday evening, touched on a provoking and painful topic-viZ. the undis- guised proseeti4ib pf the slve-trade by Frcnch subjects tbroughout the whole French MoPnarchy, with the full con- nivance of the Government, and in uitter contempt as well of the treaties which that Government has conclLded, as of the firat principles and obligations of humanity, to which it has to often appealed. The correspondence on the slave. trade submitted to Parliament by Mr. CANxNING, furnishes the most afflicting testimony in support of Mr. BIioUGAIAM's statement. rhe frequent, and pressing, and hi,,hly credit- able representations of Sir CRAXLES STUART to the Minis- ter of the Most Christian KING, during the years 1g23, 1824, scarcely produced even a show of decent attention to the subject on the part of that sentimental philanthropist M. de CHATEAUBIIIAND; and as for effectual mestures to put dowh the odious traffic, literally none whatever. French ships were. fitted out by scores in the harbours of France herself. Hundreds of bargoes of slaves were con- veyed into the colonies of that kingdom, or, under its flag, to the colonies of f6reign states. Near two hundred wretches were known to be crushed together in the hold of a esesel of 75 tons! All these facts were communicated to the French Authorities; but some supercilious evasion, or some grossly hypocritical assurance, was the only satis- faction wbich the Viscount de CHATEAUBRIAND vouch- safed to the honest remonstrances of the British AMinisters. It is all of a piece. The maxims of BUONAPA`iTS have survived him-his disregard of public faith, and his indif- ference for human suffering. The attacl; on Spain was not a more flagrant instance otfperfidy than the whole course pursued by this BOUnBON (iove;riment on the slave-trade. Mr. CANNING, we imagine, will know pretty well what confidence can be reposed in French engagements, where other questions of universal interest may be in future (as they now are) the subjects of diplomatic discussion,

I'HE L1,TE DJUEL:-In coinsequenice of the contradictory reports wh; sh have appeared in the public prints respecting a late occ currence, 'wc think it necessary to give the following authentic ac. count:-A meeting took place on Thursday, the 6th instant, be- tween the Alarquis of Londonderry and Air. Battier, in conse- quence of a message sent by the latter. The Marquis was attended by Sir Ulenry Hardinge, M. P., and Mr. Battier by Lieutenant- Colonel Western. The parties proceeded to a field near Battersea- bridge, theground was measured (10 paces' distance) by theseconds, who agreed that the parties should fire together by the word of com- mand. On the word beinggiven, the Marquis fired, but missed his opponent; AMr. Battier's pistol missed fire. The seconds then inter- fered, and the afftir terminated-Evening paper. LIM8HOuSE-131ARKET.-On Friday an inquest was held at the Britannia Tavern, in the Commercial.road, before the Sheriff of Middlesex and a special jury, on the applicatien of Thoma Brt nton, Esq, of America-square, for a grant from the Crown to establish a public market at Limenouse. lr.- Scarlett and Mir. Chitty attended in support of the application, wbich was opposed on behalt of the proprietors and lessee of Spitalfields-market. A isumber of opulent and respectable inhabitants gave testimony in favour of the proposed mnarket, and the jury unanimously found that it would be beneficial to the inhabitants, and not prejudicial to Spitalfields or any other neighbouring market. On Friday last, about teb o'clock iti the evening, the London mail-coech, on its way to Edinburgh was overturneg about nine miles to the north of York. The coac Was full inside, and there were two passengers on the outside, who were thrown into an adjoining field, but fortunatelynoneof them received any material injury. The guard was somewhat bruised, but not so as to preVent him from proceeding. Thecoaehman alleged that his horses startled in consequence of some sheep that happened to be on the roid, by which means two of the wheels got into a ditch and led to the acCi- dent. It Was fortunate that the other two coaches happened to be near the spot at the time, as tbe guards andcoachmen gave every assistance in getting the coach placed again on the road.-Carli;e Journg(L

A salute has been fired in celebration of the event by tbe city of Alelers, and returned by the same number of guns by the Admiral's ihip, the Pcvenge.

IA nvrly elw--Cr' 1 Mlfr. Editor,.- trust to your impartiality to insert the following answer to the mis-statements of mr. Hunt, relative to his obtaining possessian of the shop in Pall-mall. That the disturbance, com_ plained of occurrei only on one occasion is true; but his subsequent assertion, that I had incorrectly stated the grounds on which he ob- tained possession, is utterly unfounded. In the first place, I never let the shop to Air. Hunt, nor had on any czcasion either seen co. conversed writh him until he had established himself there. The, person to whom I let the placeis a ir. Charles Nicholls, who stated. that he wanted it for himself, for the purpose of vending pictures articles of virtu, &-c-, as I am convinced that the proprietor woul4 never bave consented to the shop being opened as a mart for radical coffiee, or to its being occupied by such a character as Mr. Hunt - so anxious is he, in fact, to rid himself of such a tenant, that I anx commissioned to offer him 501., and a receipt for six months to come, on condition of his immediately quitting the premises. '11ith respect to the insinuations thrown out by him, my clarac- ter is too well established during the seven years that 1 have rcsided in Pall-mall, to suffer in the most trifling degree from the accutions of such a man as MIr.
