DUBLII, SailuedaV nig'lt, Sept. 26. The same packet which will carry this letter in the morning will at the same time convey Mr. Canniing from the Irish shores. The Right Honourable Gentlenman lhas adhered strictly to his resolution of dloiig or saying nothing vhich might give apolitical complexion *c his visitt. He is pleased to express considerable regret at the necessity hc is ! un(ler ot' leaving Ireland so soon, and wvithout an opportu- nity of seeing more of the interior of' the island ; but al- though he anticipates no pelitical change or cirettmEtanee as likely to resut from the death of the lite King of France, yet there are certain orme tro be observed upon ani event of that nature which require the Foreign Secretary's attendance in Londotn. It had been his intention to have set off on Frilay last ; but having rec,ived despatches ft oin England, by which he learned1 that there was no pre.sing necessity for his departure, he was induced to postpone it t'dr two (iys longer ; and had it not beent for Louis's deatl, his Etay here would hiave been still nmore protracted. It has, however, been sufficienitly long, I trist, to be piodtte- tive of some benefit to this poor coutntry ; for if otie may judge froin the tone of' his conversation, he very much commniserates her unhappy situation, lie seemed par- ticularly struclk at the paucity of noblemen to be fondi her', alnd expressedl hiis surprise at the circurastance. He has also saidl that he thinks tl,e present eonidition of' Ie- land is mainly attributable to the cxtension of the el'etivc franchise to forty shilling freeholders. How f:ar the tdecla- ration of that opinion wvill be relishiedi by Mr. RichardI Mar- ti) (who has been hning with hini at the Castle) and others of the Right Hon. Scretauy's Irish supporters iike him, I leaTe for you to (leterinine ; but certaib it is that mallY tO- telligent persons here concur in the opinion. Spealking o Mlr. AMartin, you will be amiused at hearing that he lias been speecliing to-day at the Catholic Association in appro- bation of the mea.urss of that body. It Is true a general election is at hand ; bitt this is alm-ost too shallotv ev?n to excitc a laugh. At thrce o'clock yester(lay Mfr. Canning, accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant, Lord I-loward dle 'Valden, &c., paid a visit to Colonel 'I'albot, MIember for the county of' Dtblin, at Malatid, C mastle, leire he par- took of an elegant dre j1nn. H@ spent thitee er fbur hours in inspectinig the differetit apartmnents and paintings of this venerable castle, (which is one of' tile most ancient anii best preserved in the island), anid the gioumlels albout it. 'I'hie territcry of MN.Talahide hlia been for fottr or five centuries in the possession of the Talbot family, who orginally came from Etigland, antI are a branch of the Shrewsbury henlily. F'rom there ; lr. Caninig reiiirned to the Lodig and din;ed with the Lord Licutenant. 'I'o-day he has, in coAnianv with the Lord Mayor, becn inspecting the Meiidicity s1oi other eharitable institiutions, after which he Yas to have goiie to dine with the D)ukC Of Leinster, at Cartan. n(ar Ltt- can ; anid to-torrowv morning, at eight o'clock, as I befbre stated, he is to sail for Holyhead. He woul(l have grone by I iverpool, but that lie apprehended beitig delayed by hih Iriends there, particularly as the " Ctniniug Cliub," it vas untlerstoodl, vere preparinig a ihinrier for him.
