[Frotn thTei-D,lElr P reema,r's Jo?urnal.] We stated yesterday thlat we were not aware of any evenit whlich might require the immediat.edeparture otf M1r,Canning from this country. A decspatch, hlowever, has reachled G;overnrment, in which, if lovtdliireatly stated, it iS insinuated that some change is probable to occur in the condeuct of thle French Govern.nent towtards Spain. 11' this be the fact, thle presenceoof tbc Righlt t on. Secretary for Foreign AfElzirs will, wse presumie, be required in Londlon. 4n express reach- ed Dablin yesterday, thec purpoit of whicih was, we underst0od, ta be a comntunicnliou intiminating the expediency ot Mr. Canning's speedy return to I,ondon. Mlr. Clanning was not in town, ani thie express was forwarded to the countv of NVicklow, whiere the Right Ilonourable Gentleman has been onl a visit, tbr the last two days, to the Attorney.Genealh. lie has been invited to iMr. Secretary Goul- burn's to dinner on Tuesday, and to Colonc' Talibot's, at Alalahide; to Sir E. Lecs' to tlihner; and to several other gentienien ot' his pri- vate acquainitance. (From the DuNi,n Mrrerradile AdverrisCr.) The stay of' this distinguishled State.sman in this cou7try will he prolonged, wve have reason to believe, Ibr att least ai week longer. Conjecture, as inight have -been imagined, is extremely busy in assigning objects for hiis visit to this country. W'c, too, are not wvithoit oUr strirmises, though they clo not entirely agree wth those of' our contemporaries. This, however, we are warranteti in saying- that M1; r. Canning's visit is not of' a mlerely private nature ; and we may add, that the period is not very distant, when the public will witness some fruits of' tle presence of Al r. Canning in Dublin. Jn the miieani ! line, we are glad to perceive that itn the repeciabte walk-s ofl society, tltere is every w5hi and displsition to manifest tespect and welcomne to this illistriouis stranger. me know not, hiowevcr, wvhe- ,ther it beco7mpatible withl his `eehlgs to receive any distinct deitrn - stration of' public regard. And vet, we contftse, wye cannot sec an', hiarm, any thiing improper on otir p.rt-vwe tneani oi tihc pait of the comniercial intercst of Dub?in-to give a public inanitestation ot our leelitirs ; and tiere cani be none, tsurely, on the part of the Rtight Honourable Gentleman, to receive suchi ai expression from the in. depenldent citizens ot' Dublin. Thie tittlit is, atn nddress, we understand, is alread y prepared by. the Clhainber ot' Commerce, and( will, we shoild spripose, be speedily prcsented to the Right Ilonourable G3entlematt. a This hody, wvhihel really represents thie wealth, iniliucice, attd respectability ofthe mer- cai7tilo interest of the city of Dublin, is, as it ought to be, anid as night be expected fIron tite character of its mnenmbers, foremnost in giving expression to' the public feeling on titis occasion, and the ex- ample, no doubt, will be followed getterally by lthe otiter mercamtilc boulies in the interior. WYe have too good att opinion of that body to imagine t?iat there is rilty expression in at; address of theirs, that coul(d call for a political opinioi t'rot AMr. Cant.ing. The eloquent Sccretary is kiovwn to arVe takCn a lively anil active sharc itn the promotion of those con. mercial principles upto whiclt, fortunately, the tradte of the empire IS now inattaged. lie (leserves. Litereflore, ron; the imeechtnts of Dtiblin, the tribtite of an address fer the liberality of his commiiilercial principles; and really we cannot tec what obj. ctiun there can be, ott his part, to answer such ani addrcss. It mighit be otherwise, we ad- mit, witli the Corporatiott AMR. C'ANNVIC
