Mr. Canning.

DuzLiN, M onday nlght, Sept. 20, All ci.rtosity respecting, the movements of Mr. Canning has nearly su bsidec in this cty, since he has persevered in toE apearing in any other character than that of ar private individual. Both parties are disappointed in their expec- --s;tion that the Right Hon. Gent leman would have been plaws,either intentionally or accidentally,in some situation m which he mnight either do or say something, no matter vhat, which would have furnished the one with a subject of triumph, and the other wvith a ground of abuse. But he is .oo cautious in the preservation of his favourite maxih ofrneuttality topermit hbimelf tobe drawn-into a situation of that klind ; and, therefore, he has carefully avoidedl coing into public. After leeping last night at Mr. Plun- kett'F seat, near Bray, where he had iTet a distinguishe(d naty (one of whom was the Earl of Clanrickard) at dinner, he entertained him-self to-day w;ith viewing some of t'sh hesutiful seenerv in the countY of IVicklow. It was his intention. I believe, to have saifed for Liverpool on Thurs- Olat next by the St. George steasn-packet, the cabin of lhich had been engaged for the purpose, vhere he was to have been joined by Mirs. and Miss Canning; but a Tns-senger arrivetl here from London in the course of the day, with despatches requiring the Foreign S&-cretPrv's prt-nee in tire English metropolis forthlwithl. \Not finding Ar. Canning in town, the messenger imme- diately follotved him to the country. The despatches re- lawed, it was -aid, to ireinmstances grovwing out of the (le- mise of Louis XVIII. Probably he is desired for the pur- pose of penning the compliments of condolence and congra- tulation to be forwarde(l to the Court of Versailles on the eresent occasion. Had he remained until Thursday, he s to have partakien on Wednesday morning of a splendid 6,)refnni at Mialahide Castle, the seat of Colonel Talbot, the (-nntvy Member, in company with the Lord Lieutenant asd s.everal other indivi(luals of rank ; anid in the evening of the same day he had promised to dine with Sir Edward Lees, ofthe Post-office, tor the Durpose of witnessing the magnler in which the mails are mnade up. I have not as- c-rned wben, or by what route, he returns; but I should think by the same mail (to-morrow morning's) which will cosver this letter. That, however, I shall learn to-mor- row. The new Lord Mayor's dlinner takes place at the .AMansion-houLse or the 30th of this month: Lord Welles- le- a-.d 2Mr. Plunkett are to be present. It is possible we shall have a repetition of some of the old scenes. I shall be sore to sendl you the particulars by the following morn- incg s, which *vill leave hero at seven o'clock. DuBt.1, Tuesda niht, Sept. 21. I mentionetl in my letter of last'night, tatYahet espatches -cceivre bv Mr. Canning yesterdav were understood to re- cuire his imnereiiate presence in London. It would appear, howvrer, that that wras not case, as he has determined upon "naving here for a couple of days longer. WVhatever his ec rect (;f he has hadl one) in visiting this country may have b,en. he has contrivedl to keep it involved in mystery: and zh- various conjectures to which I have already alluded ore still offered upon the subject, without any circumstance ;nvrrgoccurred to confirm or wveaken the grounds upon wh'ch any of them is founded. It is a matter of consider- Ps ?e sotrprisethiat if it was his wish to make himself master fa the real stato of this portion of the emnpire, he has not .-7e mnorC into the counitry, an(d amnong<t the people at o.-:c. thsn he has done, instead of confining his inter- -"nrse tn that nith'the Local Government, fiom whlich he icht receive all the information they werecapable ofafford- ;n- himr, wrmheuit crosging the Channel, and limiting his r:-al excursions to a ride amongst the romantic glens of V: -kow. Tn'iced, the people here are not at all satisfied v'-:h the course adiopted by thc Rihlit Hlon. Gentleman : for ev _r. that whatever may have becn the motive to whichi t'm are indebted for the honour of his presence, whether it -r recreative er tinlitical, he ought not to have wasted the e?Th-"rtur,it it afforded hiim of increasing>, from unbiased sLcu7ceas h;s knowledge of the actual con(lition of Irelan(d. }i'e --rsterdav (lined at KilruIddevy-hoause, near Bray, the -aIt rf the Earl of Meath: this dlav he (line(d wvith A7r. 4.c-ulhurn.

Friday ig tfe -a amt lrcsent ta'ked of as that appointedi fvr his enn ')arkation. (Fromn the Liverpool Courier.) Wc rrfzTCt to State that we shall not, at present, have the honour .. s Viie from our late distinguished representative, lIr. Secretary t l.n-:ng, a-s we intimated in our last; business of importance, E *- a ozt of the demise of thle late King of France, requiring hi? :&7ate Uttent`ne in 1,ntlnn. Air. Canning's arrangements for :. intor of relAxatinn were. we believe, all made upon the belief that :' ,eelth of the Frenchi Monarch was such that no change was 1 to take Place during the period which the Right Honourable *'- ;ernan crntemplated being absent fron town. This expectation, ; - cnatet. iuai net been rediced. TThus situated, Sr. Canning I. 'Tmr under the meresitv of haqtening direct to London, bv the v., lItlhcad. lI'e are sorrv for the disappointment, not-only r,- ou rnt of the pleasure of which Mr. Canning's friends are de- - i- but also that the Rizht TIonouTable Gentleman himself will *d.iar.poinee of those enljoyments which he had anticipated, and ) r: e a. ecnt applicamion to the duties ofhisoffice has rendered t: ;ra btc and neces5.arv.
