    SrBj-r-No very ; material change has taken place in your position snee I last addressed yon , Bare and except the rich token that you have received of Irish confidence , and the large refresher given to you for increased exertion . And I think , Sir , that I may take the epporinnUy which has jost presented itself of , at one and tbe same time , making a comparison between yonr situation and mine , and of replying-io airoiier of your charges bgalnst me and some of the Chartist leaders , to the effect that we were in the pay of the Tories . Just as I was reading -the gratifying inteffigenee of your pecuniary prospects for the present year , and your ability to purchase

    delay , from the proceeds of a national contribution , I was presented with & Bill of Costs amounting to £ 569 9 s . 2 d . for a Tery Ehort period , —in addition to many other Bills of Costs which I have also paid , independently of travelling and other expences , —at the suit of the Crown ; and I beg io asssnre yon , Sir , that while you can draw upon an Exchequer ¦ where yom drafts will be honoured , the Carlton dob-would be the very last souree from whence I would be able to ensure the means of paying those expenses imposed upon me hy a Tory Government . But no more : of that , Sir . I merely mention it as a angle item of that persecution io wkich I have been exposed by a Tory Government on the « ne ^ snd , and by your majnsi insinuations- on ihe other .

    I shall now refe ; to frhai I consider the most important question for your consideration at the present moment . As long ago as June last 7 told you that the Irish Aims BUI would be the signal / or transferring the power ef the Executive into the hands of the Irish Orange facaon . Tiiat law came into operation a fortnight sinee ; and from the simultane ous demand of the Orange party for more troops , whether regular , militia or yeomen , to protect the Irish Protestants , yon may learn that , as I predicted , the Irish Arm 3 BDl would be the standard round which the Protestant party would rally , not

    only to secure Protestant ascendancy , but also -to ensure a market for Protestant butchers . The fiaffnyl Sies may or may not lia ^ e beea demonstrations of your triumph over the cantankerous Aiiaraey-GeneraL If they were intended as such , they were not only justifiable , but praiseworthy . The faction would have triumphed over Ireland ; and why should Ireland net triumph over them 1 But fefore I answer the charge of concert and conspiracy , of which the English ^ Tory press assert those demonstrations to be proof , I would now

    eantion you against permitting their continuance ; and for this reason : no farther demonstration can be required of Irish devotion to their country ' s cause than has been already unmistakably manifested by the whole people ; while they furnish the Tery best trap for leading the unarmed people into a eonSici in the dead hoar of the night wish their armed asaflmts . TbersfoM , if ikoso nosuumi fflnminaAJGBs aie to he continued , let them nence-Jbrtk be the sport of faction , T&tner than illnstrauve tf national feeling .

    Depend npon it , Sir , that whatever precaution 3 « mtake , those fires will nevertheless be coetinned as a means of ssouplng toe Protestants and the Government to a sense of their duty ; and you should caution the people against even attending those fires ; and for this reason : the times are coming when nightly domiciliary "ridts will be made to the poor man ' s hovel ; and when to be absent , jured bj a sop of straw or " fnrae iush , 17 lit by some Protestant yeoman seeking employment , may subject the victim to transportation , or some severer punishment ; while a sanguinary conflict may lead too , in

    ignorance of the real cause , to the fulfilment of yonr threil Lo abandon the psepW For these reasons it becomes yonr duty to dissuads the people-from the continuance of such a practice . I presume that yon are thoroughly acquainted with the mode and manner in which evidence is got up by the Grown whereon to ground an application for powers 'beyond the law : but as a few facts which have come to my own knowledge mav he serviceable , tven to yon , I Etall here relate them . In the recess of 1833 , after the Iribh Coercion Bill tad been enacted by the Whigs upon the testimony of policemen , police serjeante , and

    police eoujffiisfioEer ? , the following fact came to my knowledge , and radti the folio-wing circumstances . Yonr present Secretary , Hi . O'Neill Daunt rode to my house . Shortly after his arrival , my presence was required at Coaakiivy ; and I said to him , ** Daunt , as my horses are -watered , 1 * 22 lide join ' s to CiO-• H % \\\ iy j » to -friseb bs assented . On my way , the lorse stumbled and fell upon me , and so far is-jured me , that I was obliged io hobble up to the bouse of Captain Davis , a friend of mine , who very kmdly sent me home in r . is gig , driven by oce of his EervantB . "Upon the road the following conversation octnTTcd . Tt > : man was avrare that I had

    "been tried in 1 B 3-2 , in . Curb , upon charges arising out of the Tube agitation ; and he said to me , I hope and trust in God , yenr honosr wDl take « are what yon do for the future ; for believe me you have a power of enemies against you , " I replied , " I know 1 have , bnt I'll beat them alL" " You might , " he rejoined , ** if you knew them ; but you don't . " I asked him what he meant * and the man wept and said } "Ism ashamed to teli joar honour . " However he did tell me the following story : — God inowB , its little I thought when 1 - * &s forced to turn out one night , that it would be the means

    of injuring you or Ireland ; bnt I was foolish and didn ' t think . During the Tithe agitation , I Eved with Captain S , and one day after dinner ilsjor , and some other gentlemen who were stopping at the hocse , had me sent for j and we all had our faces blacked , and went out in the conntry to several houses , and took arms and powder where ever we could find them , and money in some cases t « bny more ; and we swore them to be true to the cause , and to abolish the tithts . " I asked the man

    why he had not communicated those facts to a magistrate I and Jbis ansvrex was , that "ie might as well ihooi himself j for he would never gei another place if he betrayed the gentlemen . I then asked him if he would swear to the facts and give evidence , if I essured him protection ! He told me he wonld . I communicated the whole affair to Mr . Littleton , the then Irish Secretary , and asked him tc prosecnte ihe parlies , and to -ensnre the man protection ; but with him it has rested np to the present moment .

    I teed , not dwell further npon this ease ; bu > shall &ow put you in possession of a circumstance that occurred in 1823 , during the Whitehoy note . A Et * n of the same ef Febeex , whe was known to hare * Private s&D , received a l » ttar * ign « d "Bock , " coBsnnding him , under severe penalties , to saeet ** Caj > tain Rock" at a given place , upon a certain night , with two gallons of " Elngpng ? , " or ** 1 IrB * fikot . " » Meh means the best description of lOicit * ittfcj , . Feheen obeyed the order , bnt took the prettnfcfon to < afce a neighbour with him ; and to his * sUmkhment , he recognised the Captain of a Yeommry Corps in the person of Captain Bock . I bbw pass on to totsider whether or no those signal Jkes famish SBy proof } of eonctit . or conspiracy .,

    When I was returned for the County of Cork , in 1832 , a man named C » ghlan , whose family bad lived for several generations under my family , Baid : "By Jasus Mr . Fargas , but 111 go and set the eounirj on fire . " I knew perfectly well what he meant . He went to a cabin and procured a spear , like a pike with a long handle , commonly used for searching for bog fimber . He put a small bundle of lighted ftjxzs ob the spear , and stood oa a hill ; and in Usb than twenty minutes , the whole country appeared in a blaze , which spread ihreughoat the County of Cork , and to Kerry and Limerick , without any understanding or concert whatever ; and I . will . venture to assert , that any man anxious for such amusement , can , of himself , on any night of the year , produce the Tery same Bpectacle in Ireland .

    I mention these things firstly , to set yon thinking j and secondly , to disarm those who would make such occurrence a . pretext for the further Coercion of Ireland . Meantime , Sir , neither slumber , nor be deluded ; for rely upon it , that you havd a vindictive and revengeful faction in the field , and party in the Cabinet to deal with : neither of whom will be satisfied with anything short of your total destruction . Argue you not too favourably from the law ' s delay . Be assured that its vigour will not be relaxed , nor its hold upon yon loosened . We have already seen

    the apparent change produced in the temper of the Attorney-General after his consultation with Sngden ; but we have seen nothing to lead us to a belief that he has abandoned any portion of his project . Believe not , Sir , that the naval and military array is not intended to facilitate the collection of poor-rates while even was it so the Orange faction wonld not allow you to separate resistance to poor rates from Repeal agitation . Believe me when I tell you that the Guvercment will attempt to persuade all moderate men , all sensitive men , all timid men , and all interested men , that your destruction i 3 indispensable to the tranquility of Ireland ; while they cannot meet Parliament without bei& £ able to give a better account than total defeat in the Queen ' s

    Bench , increased contributions , and increasing enthusiasm as a-Bet-off against the alarm , anxiety , expenditure and risk incurred in the suppression of the Repeal agitation . I shall not now further trespass upon you than once more to implore you to take ycur own position into your most serious consideration ; and while you are fencing with the law , be prepared to meet the next step , which will be the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , if you beat the Government : and to justify which the Orange faction will get up a riot of their own , by concert and oouEpiracy , which they would be better paid for keeping secret than divulging : for believe me that the very same spirit which actuated those ruffians in 1798 is still to be found aiaongsi their representatives Of the present 4

    sy-I learn ihaj our Griffin , who swore against the Chartists at Lancaster , is one ot the witnesses to be produced against you ; but vou may rely upon it that the Toat Chabtists of Manchester will take good care to send a deputation to recognise him , in order that our friends , the Tories in Ireland , should not " run the buck" upon you under another name .

    les-Vertup , Qharenton , and Vincennea . The last forress appears to be tho special subject of hie Royal solicitude ; for since the close of May , 1841 , that is since the changes made in the old structure , and the eri-otion of the new one , which commenced in March , 1842 , Louis Philippe has six times visited the works of Vincennes . " Si > Axw--Acc © unt 8 from Madrid of tho 14 h insf state , that in the morning of that day General Narv&cz proceeded to the Palace , and presented lo the Qaeen his resignation of the post of Captain-General of New Ca&tile . The motives for this resolution were not exactly known . The Eco del Comercio announces , that its editors had been removed frcm the Barrack del SoWado to the former Convent of the B 4 siliO 3 , where they were still detained in solitary confinement .

    M . Palmo , former commander of a battalion of Luohana , and M . Savita , an officer of the gam on , had been arrested as participators in the attempt against the person of General Narvacz . A letter from Perpignon of the 15 h ins . states , that General Prim on arriving at Figueras had summoned the castle to surrender ; but thai bis demand had been met by a peremptory refusal and that the batteries had opened » fire upon hfs quarters by way of defiance . The C * stle was supplied with provisions for twelve months . : - The Montroso steamer brings advices from L&bon to the 15 th , and from 'Cadiz to the 13 sh insV Thte suppression of the insurrection in Galiofa hac ^ been complete , and neither atVigo nor elsewhere itere there witnessed any fresh symptom of outbreak . '

    After the defeat of Iriarte , General Cotoner , having arrived at Redondella , prepared to attack Yigo , when the insurrectionary Junta , perceiving the entire defeat of its adherents , requested the Consuls of England and Portugal to serve as mediators for theta with the Commander of the forces . The Consuls both readily hrt themselves to this task , which was satisfactorily accomplished , and the Government troops shortly afterwards entered Vigo , without effusion of blood . " Order was established throun ' nout Galicia .

    There had been undoubted supplies of arms , ammunition , and money , sent out by Espartero ' s adherents in London to the northern and southern coasts of Spain . At Seville many new arrests had been made , and npon the persons of the sergeants of tho Regiment del Rei . imprisoned for endeavouring to effect a demonstration against the Provjuional Government , was found 200 , 000 reals in gold . The disturbances at Algesiras , like all others , had led to nothing . At Lisbon all was quiet , and the Cortes wero opened as the packet left .

    vNVr&n STATES . —The new plan of the AmoricanJHfecutive for issuing 5 , 000 , 000 dollars in paper moneffiBsthe subject uf auRry comment on the part of the democratic press , who refer to it as pregnant with fnture mischief , and compare it to the issue of a 3 siguat 8 and mandate during the French revolution . Tac measure is ascribed to the influence of Mr . Webster , who , though he has quitted the Administration , is said to retain his influence with its prcscuc members . The whole plan , indeed , is affirmed to have been concocted between him and his former colleague , Mr , Spencer , during a reccut visit to Washington . A better idea of the bUbject cannot be an-en than J > j quonngsonw < jf the remarks Of the

    Opposition journals upon it . The Harrisburg Democratic Union has the following : — " We observe that the Secretary of the Treasury is about to issue 5 , C 00 , 000 of Government paper montj , under tho name ot fifty-dollar Treasury notes . The rate of interest on these notes is to be merely nominal , &nd tliey are to be redeemable oa demand inthe banks of New York and New Orleans . The intention is openly avowed of making them a circulating medium , instead of bank-notes ; and this barefaced violation of the Constitution is to procoed from an Administration which Rlaries in the fact that its chief has twice vctoad bills to [ establish a bank of tho United States 1

    "Treasury notes have- been often issued by the Government ; but tuoh notes are as unliko thosu of Mr . Spencer as a bond for money loaned , bearing an interest of six per cent ., and payable ia one year af ' . QT date , IS UHliku a bank-DOto payable on demand . Tho Constitution gives to Congress tho power ' to borrow money on the credit of the United States ;' and this power ha ? somf times been carried into execution , by borrowing for one year , instead of s . longer term , at such a rate of interest as could be agreed on by tho parties , and ibsuitig Tieatucy notes to the lender or creditor of the Government for the amount .

    These Treasury no : e ? have never heretofore been redeemable at any bank before they were due ; aud it is this redemption of them ou demand , before they have reached maturity , together with the mere nominal rate of . interest they bear , which changes them from a Government loan into a Government paper circulation . The secretary in this manner expects to evade the provisions of tho act of Congress , and to escape tho censure of the Democratic party and the country . But the attempt will be

    unavailing . So hostile were the Democratic party to a Government paper circulation , that when the iadcpendent treasury law was before Congress , although the rit : bt of the Treasury to draw draughts upon us agents in payment of the publio debts was unquestionable , yet to avoid the possibility that these draughtB-might become a , circulating medium , it was expressly enjoined on the Secretary of the Treasury , by the 23-i section of that act , to provide foi their speedy presentation and payment at the different depositories .

    " No Government on the face of the earth has ever resorted to the miserable expedient of ipsoing paper money without suffering from the experiment . It is created so easily , that it produces unbounded ex travagance in expenditures , as well as the most corrupt peculation . It has made a bankrupt of every Government which has resorted to it extensively ; and the people themselves have always had to suffer the loss . The assign&ts of the French Revolution , and our own continental paper money , are the most memorable examples of the truth of this assertion . The framers of the Federal Constitution , warned by the fate of this paper currency , and having it

    before their eyes , wisely withneld from Congress tie power of ever again issuing it . They thought the old example ought for ever to bo shunne ' d ; and , therefore , the only power over the currency which they conferred upon Congress was thus ' to com money , and to regnlate the value thereof , and of foreign coin . * They were emphatically hard-money men . Bus why should Mr . Secretary Spencer regard those things ! The Constitution is now but an antiquated scroll ; and the exposition of if by the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions , and Mr . Madison ' s report , is entirely out of date . The modern , ulira-latitudiuarian construction by the' God like' Daniel has superseded these inus y records . "

    The Missourian says : — " AH the details of the new paper currency of the Federal Government are now before the country , and it now turns out to be a naked issue of paper money upon the credit and revenues oftho Government . The noies are still to be called Treasury notes , bat have all the characteristics of bank noie 9 . Like bank notes , they are to bear no interest , for the l-I 0 lh of 1 per cent , is nothifljr , and is only intended & 8 a fraud upon the aofc of Congress , which required them to : bear interest . Like bank notes ,

    they are payable to bearer ; but here another fraud is perpetrated to cheat the act of Congress , which required Treasury notes to be payable to order ; anrf by this second fraud the bearer is pnt upon the back , instead of the face , of the note . Like bauk notes , they are payable on demand ; and , like bank notes , they are intended to pass from haad to hand , to bo re-issuable , and to constitute a paper-money currency . The amount now to be issued is 5 , 000 , 000 dols ., the new deficit in the revenue amounting to that Hum , and the whole to be payable at New York . These are the features of the new Government

    paper-money ; and the first thing that strikes us its utter Bnccnetitulioaaliiy , its cross perversion of the act of Congress for issuing Treasury notes , and the boldness of lihns putting into operation the maiu part of the Exchequer Bill , which Congress so peremptorily rejected , and of which the main object was toi& £ uea Government paper currency . " Tha Constitution knows nothing bat a bardmoney currency for the Federal Government ; and all Administrations up to tho present day have rejected a federal paper currency , not only as unconstitutional , but as the most fatal and dangerous of all the descriptions of paper money . Mr . Tyler ' s Administration ia the first to do it ; and in doing eo . hascommitted a violation of the Constitution , and

    a fraud upon the act of the Congress for issuing Treasury notes . In doing thia he has cancelled the last feelingof regard which anybody felt for the two i > m * Tetoes ; for Government banking is certainly worse titan corporation banking , bad as the latter IS . He had nearly cancelled the debt of gratitude which some felt , by proposing the Exchequer scheme , bat now he has put the worst part of that scheme ; into operation , after Congress bad rejeoted it j and thus &bow 8 ^ that he was governed by no principle whatever in giving his vetoes . UncenstiintSonal and fraudulent as this paper currency , is , it is subject to all the objections of a local currency ; for , being payable at New York , it wil' all centre thenand will reqnire a concentration of specie-tat that point to Tt-deem it .

    " There never was , and there never will be , a Government paper currency which , will not be abused Tn& present issue is an abuse ; and though they be ^ in with five millions , it will rise to icus and nun tfrods of millions , if permitted to go on . Every ne * debt and every new extravagance will be covered with a new isfue of paper money , to avoid the alarm which loans and taxes would create ; and thus a great national debt wil he created before tho country is aware of it . Thus it is now . Every session of Congress since the change of 1840 has been met by deficits , loansi } taxes , and treasury notes , until tho new public debt amounted to

    27 , 000 , 000 dollars . In a short time Congress ia to mt ; nt again , and would be a ^ ain informed of a deficit of £ , 000 , 000 dollars , and navv loans or taxes called for to that amount . But to avoid thia call , and to deceive the people , an "issue of pap ^ r money is determined upon , and thes * 5 , 000 , 000 of Government bank notes are issued . Tho Democfaoy were for a national gold currency ; the old Federalists are for a national paper currency .

God speed it ! May we sbon see the "Old King" at " liberty . " We earnestly hope that the factory workers , in whose cause Mr . Oastier spent the best years of his life , and for whom he may bo tru ' y said to have suffered his most unjust imprisonment , will now be hd and doinf , and show that they are not

    ungrateful for the service rendered to them . If each factory worker would would only give twopence oi ' his or her Saturday night ' s wages for one wesk , th ** glorious object of Oastier ' s liberation would be immediately and triumphantly accomplished . Let committees and collectors be everywhere appointed , and the good work done at once , and done voell .
