ROBERT PEEL. 'Nay; their journals have treated the right lion. baronet with comparative courtesy and respect, if we may judge from the vituperation they have inflicted upon the noble earl. A Dublin paper, called the Freeman's Journal, the recognised organ of the popish faction, attacks the bare presumption of Lord GREY'S I restoration to office in the following terms:—  "We will take leave to say that our information leads us to the conclusion that Lord Grey will not be Premier, or at all officially connected with the new administration. The noble earl's re-accession to power would be the signal fOr an universal outbreak in Ireland. Let the truth be spoken out at voce—Lord Grey is hated in Ireland. • Ills very name is abhorred by the coerced people of this country, whom he ruled with a rod of iron— and in forging new chains for whom he broke up his cabinet. No, no; we have hail enough of the tyrant in friend's garb; and if oppression is still to be our lot, let us, in resistance—FOß IN THAT pass RESIST WE wit.l.—have at least an open foe to encounter. What! submit again to Draco's rule ?—never. !lather let every man, woman, and child in Ireland perish. Why did Lord Grey resign ? Was it not because he found that some of his colleagues, and the majority of the House of Commons, were determined to clip the iron tangs of his tiger proposition ? Did he not fling up office because he could not obtain the consent of the representatives of the people to the hell-born clauses of his atrocious coercion act ? Let Lord Grey conic into office once more, and the union which now exists between the several sections of the liberal party will be dissolved, and to harmony will instantly succeed discord dire. "If we could tender a word of friendly advice to Lord Grey's advocates and admirers, either here or in England, we would tell them to leave the noble earl in his old age to the peace of domestic retirement, and riot to force upon the public the con- aideration of his ministerial conduct, under circumstances that do not bear a strict analysis or a close observation. They are injudicious and indiscreet friends who thrust before .the public gale a character which tetter bark'd about, Most lazarlike, with vile end loathsome crust.' " We like_ to hear a patriot or a papist, in a state of fever or inebriety,. come out loudly with all the latent feelings of his soul. Here we have the truth ! Why,should not all the men, women, and children of Ireland be murdered rather than that Lord GREY should become prime minister ? We pity the blockhead who talks in this manner, because his fate is a voluntary one; if hanged he will be his own executioner. But the people of Ire• land are to resist, in other words, rebel, fight, massacre each other, if the noble earl should accept the office of premier. Now we, being peaceable persons, are not much enamoured of civil war ; we dread it nearly as much as the Duke of WELLINGTON ; burning, stabbing, pillaging, and the other concomitant enormities, are not exactly to our taste ; but if we could be induced to believe that the popish orgah of Dublin is in earnest, and that the followers. of O'CoNNELL would carry these threats into effect, much as we dread so terrible a conflict, we should be the first to consider it a happy experiment, the hazards of which being decidedly against those who provoke ft. The popish faction in Ireland is purely a tolerated one. It has been nursed in the bosom of whiggery. It never had any power which it did not derive from a party in England. Had it been left to itself it would have perished long ago. CHARLES GREY in the Commons was one of its earliest advocates and patrons --the same CHARLES GREY, now a ven,erable nobleman, being the first person whom the faction he cherished would tear to pieces. What a lesson to the whigs ! All their loving kindness, all their sweet philanthropy, all their genercus struggles in the cause of emancipation, is now forgotten, and they are denounced as tyrants in the garb of friends. It is an axiom proved by experience, and consecrated by time, that the hatred engendered bv disunited friendship, or misplaced affection, is more _fierce and cruel than that of the most exasperated of hereditary enemies. Here we have the feeling directed against Lord
