my last letter, with tlie exoeptlon ot the heart-reniing
accounts which have, every (lay for lust week, been received
of the ravage* which destitution and the plague
arc making amongst the people of Ireland, it is
very unfortunate that the latter should have proved -o
violent this year, us the constitution* of the poorer inhabitants.
particularly in the South and West, have been
so debilitated from fatigue and exhaustion, brought on
by famine and it* concomitant evils. The accounts, as
I said before, daily received, are truly distressing, i articularly
from Westport and B alia n robe; for in those
places the cholera is raging with tcrridc violence, some

whilst in other towns parties are daily committed to
prison for thefts, which wore made for the uxprcs* purpose
of the depredators being transported. Instances
have occurred at the quarter-sessions, hold within the
last few days, of some of the prisoners, when acquitted,
pi eying of the bench to transport them, that being
their only hope of escaping hunger and destitution
Air. bwistleton, the able pour law commissioner,
has resigned his charge, and proceeded to Knglaud.?
His all'- testimony on tlio part of Ireland, in his late
examination before the House of Commons, will be read
with much interest, and his resignation conveys to the
contemplative mind the truth that the system which
the present government is pursuing towards this unhappy
country, is radically bad, when even their own
officers resign their trusts in disgust.
Lord John Russell, on a attempted to
get the opinion of the iri-li members on what is best to
be done, but signally failed; and i understand uow
that,, if he fulls iu ills Rate in Aid scheme, ho will certainly
try his hand at, the Income Tux. Societies are
now being formed in Armagh and berry, for the purpose,
of ottering a threefold opposition to the former,
and tho member* of these societies arc determined to
use all legitimate means to prevent its execution.
Mr. Monaghan. the Attorney . lias p.ft for London, to
iis-ist, with hi profound legal knowledge (; , iu the
Writ of Krror proceedings. No order has, a. yet, coiuc
for the removal of the prisoners, who still remain in
Richmond bridewell. Two names aro now mentioned
lor the vacant Primacy in the Roman Catholic church
?Dr. Kieran. who baa been lately appointed \ ieur-Capita'.,
and Dr Hughes, bishop of New York; however,
these rumors arc merely conjectures.
On and after the 20th .Ivuie, the mail packets from
Dublin to Kng'and will bo discontinued, via Liverpool.
At present one mail is sent via Liverpool, and another,
via Holyhead. After the t ine I have mentioned both
utr.ils go via Holyhead.
On Friday last a speelat mooting of the Corporation
vi as held, for the purpose of receiving a report upon the
subject of the bills proposed to be brought into Parliament,
by government for the improvement of Dublin.
Alderman Keshan, in the nbseuer of the Lord Mayor;
presided. The meeting appeared to be in favor of'the
proposed alterations and improvements, with some
vlight mm ndinents.
A rtatislical tabular statement of the number of
persons registered as electors in Ireland, to January
last, lias been published. The number of inhabitants
in Ireland, iu IW'l. war H 17-'i 1-4. Tito number of
males was 4.0IP .VT'i. of which those aged -1 and upwards
was 2 o2."i.3T-i The number of electors, in
January, 1S4'J, was 72.210.
The Irish branches of the excise and stamps are
immediately to merge into one, which change will bo
the means of dispensing with the services of a number
of clerks in each or (hi so departments.
A considerable depreciation in the value of land is
discernible m mi puns "i ireiana uuring tno lam rew
years. Two or three instances which I shall nmne will
convoy to yon an idea. V gentleman took a house iu
Vcrrlon Urovc, come years ago, an<l pnlil i.M.000 line
an<t n yearly rent ol .i'100. Ho lately had occasion to
leave Ireland and called on one of tho house agents to

including taxes. Another-In 1S4I. a sinnil estate lu
West port was fold lor A'7,000. A year elapsed, and the
' property was again sold lor jEO.Ooo ; a short time subsequently
elap?ed, and It was sold for A'5.100; and. last
December, the same estate wn? sold for *3.'i00. exactly
one-half of the amount it sold l'or fonr years before.
A nobleman In Coik has lately offered 600 acres of good
land to any party who will engage to pay the poor
rate-.
Kroni an account Int. ly published, it appears that
the number of military employed to collect poor rates,
from 1st October, 1S4*. to 1st February. IMP. amounted
to 11 Held officers. 16 captains, lift subalterns, 21S sergeants,
42 drummers, and 4..">lo rank and tile, exclusive
ol O'J officers and 2,5SJ& constables.
The accounts lately received from the West relative
to the crops, are far from being agreeable. It appears
that it is evidently the ohj< el id the farmers to get the
crops out of their hands with tho least possib c risk
and expense, with the ulterior desigu e.f emigrating immediately
after the harroft. It is stated that where
grain crops were sowed In-1 year, the saiuc grain has
been again planted, or rather turned into the ground
without ploughing, harrowing, or such usual preparation:
but that tin- graiu lma been pitched in. and the
t ariii turned loosely over.

We arc now entering on a new and important phase
of the infant republic. We are about to elect by universal
suffrage the first regular Assembly of the republic.
I fay the first regular Assembly, because it ought
to be recollected that the A fombly whose proceedings
have been the subjict of report and comment throughout
the world for the l.nt twelve mouths, has not been
? regular Assembly under any existing constltuUon.but
a body collected and convoked without any definite inMruclions
or regular commission, having for its object
merely the formation of n ron-tltutlon. It 1- true.that
while engaged in this work. It has necessarily al-o discharged
the functions of a regular Legislative Assenttdy.
This it 1 as done by the very necessity ol the
case. For nearly six mouths it has held an exceptional
) osition. Invested by Its very nature with unlimited
powers, it has stood bC'ldr the ( hivf of the State also
nominated by uuiveral suffrage, and invested by the
constitution with powers limited and defined, but
which are Incompatible with the omnipotence of the
Constituent Assembly Itself. A collision between those
two high authorities hn*b en continually apprehend'd.
Tlie moderation of both, and the influence of public
opinion acting upon tin in. mid the resolution of the
middle classes, the representatives of whieli constitute
the majority of the Assembly, to maintain order at any
yricr, have averted such a collision. We are now.
however. Mvoroachlug the limits of this anomalous con
rtltion of the State. The rovrinii-dou of the Constituent
Assembly *111 expire on the day of the convoea|
lion of that which i? now about to he elected. and the
republic will then have it? free piny, under the condition*
prescribed by the conalllution which ha? bun
proclaimed.
Yon are, of course, ii un re that the constitution ha?
not been In accordance with the sentiment- of the ultra-democratic
section of the Assembly, and of those
jartics out of It, which that section represents. The
socialists, the communist?,aud the r.-d republican- are

Aaarmbly itself; and nothing prevent- these
jmrtles from attempting another revolntfon, except the

the formidable army of military force colli cted in and

clubs will, therefor*, speedily change their name*, and
atari into activity under the title of electoral meetings p,
The police, however, have the right to enter them; meet- tc
ing*. to wltne?* their proceeding*, and, iu cace it ahould
appear that their object la different ft-oui the legitimate
one. of the election*, the authorities have the eirrht of f:%
suppression. Thin right has been. in fact, already excr- M
cisod. A meeting in the Rue Martel,which took place on
Monday, was entered by the Commissary of Police, and ?
dispersed ; a formidable military force being in attend- *
anoe in the neighborhood, ready to act, in ease of re- w
sl?tanee. ?l
\V e have had news by telegraph, of the sailing of tho w
expedition to < ivlta Vecchlo. from tile anehoruge of a
llyeics. The expedition sailed on the evening of Sun- t(
day hit, th? wiatbcr being fair and all things ,uvor- v
aide. M
.an alarm was exeited at tho Bourse on Monday, by
a report that the army of the Alps bad been ordered n
to march to the frontier, in consequence of the exor- (t
hitaut demands made, by Marshal Kadetsky, on the
King of Sardinia- demands the concession of which i t
would totally absorb the revenues of that country for p
several years to eome. and. eouse<|Uently. entirely destroy
its independence. This rumor, however, was
mb* qucnlly contradieted. tlie grounds on which it f(,
was circulated, appearing to be sumo movnieut.s of the
troops consequent upon the departure of the divisions n,
of the army of the Alps, which formed part of the ex- hi
( edition to Italy. ?
The letideney of public opinion, on a particular sub- ul
ject. lias just been strikingly manifested by the excitemi
nt created by the mere bint that a national bankruptcy
had been talked of in the councils of the Provi- m
sionul i I'oM rnment after Kebruyry last Nothing could tl<
exceed tho sensitive alarm with which every member, t.i
connected witli that government, started forward to |,t
disavow any participation in such a proposition. The w
suspicion naturally fell on M. Ludru Kollin. whose projeets
of paper money and other systems ot hollow ere- av
dit. have from time to time made ho much noise. M,
l.cdru llollin. however, not content with disavowing
the project, managed to get the imputation thrown uu
none member of the moderate party. M. Acltille Kould,
tho banker and flnanelcr, was first charged with it. m
lie disavowed it, and M. Dclaniarre. another eminent
banker and merchant, who is tho proprietor of the
Journal /.? PMrfc, wna next charged with it. M. Date- b?
mari e lias just published s letter, in which lie explains , ,
what the project really was which he proposed, and
w hich had been misrepresented us a system of national "I1
bankruptcy. U<
'1 bin discussion is so far intore-ting. as shewing how 0jdecidedly
adverse puhlio opinion is, and has been, to
any uneasiness wbieli could tend to a breach of public ' u
faith. Any individual on whom the suspicion of pro. by
posing or recommending such a measure should full p,
would be utterly ruined in public estimation. pn
V ou will have perceived by the reports which have n,
appeared in the jouriiils, tliat the cholera lias not been
on tin- increase; but you must remember that those
reports refer only to the eases which have occurred in i,
tli? public hospital1!. Wo bare no authentic mean* of .
knowing Iho extent to which the epidemic has pre>ailed
generally throughout the country. Nothing, .
however, would have been more easy, had the govern- '
no nt boon so inclined, than to have published an exact .<
rrpnit of its cllccti. No funeral can take place in n ,
Vranee without previous formalities, among which nti
inspection of (lie remains of the defunct by a public ,{
< Ulcer, u record of the time and place of death, the age 'j
ami tile cause of death, are included. Nothing cau bo <1 |
more exact and authentic than those records. It
would therelore have been lay to pulilisli weekly, as is o
done in Kngland and elsewhere, a report of the progress '
of the epidemic. No doubt the reason for abstaining
from tin- has been to avoid exciting public alarm. We
leant, however, from private information and obser- '
with 11. that the epidemic has prevailed to a great extent
in the capital. ?

tcrtainment of this kind wliieh lias been given, since a
letter was known to have been written by the Duke of
lbnb mix to one of the h ading legitimists, in which
tlie writer expressed Ids disapprobation of the legitimist
party attending the festivities ut the palace of the jPresident
of the Itcpubllc ; a? was expected, accordingly,
the few individuals ofthc legitimist party who '''
attended at the last ball were, on this occasion, sig- ' T
nalizcd by their absence. In fact, the nffuir was alto- i ?
getlu r a dull one. AVith the characteristic licklenes of
the French people, the cult rtainiuents of the President t)
are now going out of fashion. A large number are, of n(
course, easily collected together on tills occasion, but ti
they are not the sort of pt rsoas that the President }?;
would desire to see around him. lt.

members of the triumphant faction arc useaultcd

hicb resolutions, of more than Irish "vigor," arc passed
itb more than Irish enthusiasm; the Kngllsh cry out
iat they arc handed over slaves and victims to n

to the hands of di moerats and anarchists; and, by
ay of mending their grievances, loyalists and Englishen
call for a separation from the Knglish crowu and
inexution to the American Republic.
We have already shown that those who have intrnici

ie lossi s which they suffered in the rebellion have not

'parent fairness and justice. But there is a string
distinction between tlie two ruses:?The majority
the iuhubitauls in Canada West were loyal; tlicmarity
of those in Canada East were disloyal. The iumnity
in the fornu r case was awarded to those who
id fought on the side of the Ciovernmeut; the indctnty
