tithes in Ireland. lrre committee also recommend anew valuation of all beneﬁees in Ireland, for the purpose ofthe ﬁrst fruits, found with a view to charging it with all church cess, for the building and repairing of churches, and for the due celebration of divine worshi .

The Scotch Reform Bill went through the com- mittee last night, and the report is to be received on

onda .

We have already mentioned with satisfaction the extensive and beneﬁcial change which the measure must effect inthe constituency and representation of that part of Great Britain which lies north of the Tweed, It will create a real constituency in counties and boroughs where only a nominal constituency pre- viously existed. It will give to the exercise of the elective franchise 70,000 independent voters instead of2,000 jobbers; and it will give to public opinion an organization and force which must directly con- troul the local executive, instead of being obliged, as at resent. to rely for its indirect effect an precarious an uncertain support from this more free and inde- pendnnt portion of the empire.

as of the chief and most striking advantages of the bill will consist in its tendency to bring into closer contact the different ranks of Society, by creating a mutual dependence on each other, and to excite at- tention of the inferior classes to the political conduct of their rulers, by showing them that they can by their votes exercise some controul over their despotism or extravagances. Hithertoacountry or borough elec- tion, in that part of the empire, was no atl'air of the people or of the middle classes. These classes had no more inﬂuence, and felt no more interest, in the choice ofa member of Parliament, than in that of an East India Director. Now the case will be changed and those who have a stake in the country, wrll be able to assert their right ofsuperintending and controlling the poli- tical game which affects their fortunes.

In short, so far from expecting any disorder or mischief, much less ‘bloodshed,’ on the occasion, we look forward to a well-arranged, joyous. simultane- ous jubilee, and in which all angry feelings will be for- got, in which each man will vie with his neigh- bour in commencing the new era of our liberties, this emancipation front bondage, in the pure spirit of bro- tlrerl y love and good fellowship.

F; om the Times of June 16.

There is now no doubt that a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne to Paris, has announced the landing of Don Pedro on the coast of Portugal. Letters which ar- rived yesterday from Paris state that the French Queen sent a note to the Empress of Brazil to imform her of the fact; but nothing is known, titber as to the means by which the intelligence was corrveyed to Ba onne, or as to the place at which the landrng was e ected. The credibility ofthis announcement depends, of course, entirely on the nature ofthe channel by which it was conveyed to Bayonne; and in the absence of all in- formation on that point, we shall content ourselves with observing, that it is by no means improbable that the news istrue.

Let,however. the expedition arrive when it may, it can hardly fail to seal the doom of the Portuguese usurper. By all accounts the expeditionary troops amount to about 10,000 men, and the naval force by which it will be conveyed and assisted is great- er than any that Don Miguel can command. This army consists ofthe chosen soldiers of Portugal, led by her best oﬁiccrs. 'l‘hey return to claim their C0untry, from whictr they had been exiled by the usurper for adhering to their constitutional oaths, and supporting theirlawful Sovereign. With them success is the re- storation of every thing which men hold dear, and failure is massacre on the field, or death on the scaffold. They must, therefore. be prepared to stake their all in the cause,—to encounter every danger or dilliculty. and to ﬁght as long a drop of blood re- mains in their veins. 0n the other hand the troops of Don Miguel though more numerous possess fewer motives for extreme exertion, and have given fewer pledges ofunﬂinching fidelity. The Ex-Emperor will revisit his country with an amnesty ready made, and his object will be to prevent a re-action of vengeance. Should the troops of his brother be induced to desert their colours. they will be sure not only of pardon but ofreward. And that they are not very firm in their ﬁdelity to their present master is evident, from the number of conspiracies in his army, which he has been obliged to check, and from the massacre of whole corn. panics, which he has been obliged to order though under the forms of a court-martial.

The complete exhaustion of all the revenue which he could wring from an oppressed people. and the necessity of resorting to ﬁscal robbery of a forced loan, sufﬁciently show the economy of his civil go- vernment, and the extent of his civil protection to property. They, at the same time, may be taken as evidence of the manner in which the arrival of a professed deliver-er will be hailed by the general body of the people.

ur own desires as to the result of this contest, as well as those of the civilized world, cannot be for a moment misapprehended. Wherever there has been four years of external peace without a tendency to the consolidation of internal tranquility—wherever a brutal force domineers over the growing intelligence ofa people, and maintains itself only by atrocities and blooshed—wherever the supreme power reigns only by a faction, and keeps the most enlightened members of the commonwealth in prison. in chains, or in exile, where- evera few of those exiles are suﬂ‘rcient to overcome anational army, 'and to recover their long denied rights, there a civil war ainst tyranny is the most sacred of all duties, and victory the ﬁrst of all bless'rngs to both parties.

be second report of the House of Commons committee on the Irish tithe question has been prin- ted. The committee recommend that measures should, with as little delay as possible, be submitted to Par- liament:—l. A bill to amend the provision of the tithe composition acts, and render them permanent and compulsory. 2. A bill to constitute ecclesiastical cor- poratiOns in Ireland. 3. A bill for the commutation of

will; and if they do so, as probably some of them sions to reside in Paris granted to foreigners and refu- for the purpose of seducing the people into angry gees are annulled, and all such foreigners and refugees

must apply at the Prefecture of Police for new permis- sions. Such of the refugees as shall not have obtained a new permission by the 15th instant. must procure passes to proceed to the depots assigned to the refugees oftl‘eir respective nationsI or passports to quit France. In case of neglect. they will be conducted beyond the frontiers by the gendarmerie. By another ordinance of the Commandant, every armourer, or manufacturer of arms,withinthe city of Paris, is directed to make an immediate declaration at the Mayories of their respec- tive arrondissements of all the military arms in therr warehouses and marurfactories, and afterwards convey them to the place occupied by the committee for the reception of arms, at 5, Rue Neuve dc Luxembourg, where they will be examined and duly valued. Also every person not upon the rolls of the National Guard is to make the same declaration within 24 hours, and immediately afterwards to convey them to the same committee,

M. La Boissiere, Deputy for the Vaucluse, and M. Garnier Pagis, for the Isere, have published ajoint dc- claration corresponding in substance to that which has appeared from M.Cabet. stating thatthey have withdrawn themselves from the reach ofthe warrants issued against them, but would surrender themselves to Justice when the ordinary laws ofthe kingdom are again in force.

The following letter has been addressed to several of the French papers, in answer to an article thatappeared in the Journal des Debates yesterday;

‘ Sir.-——Inajournul which is the usual organ of the 13th March. an article has been replete with the odious accusations against the Opposition taken collectively. We expected that a comic. which has already done so much injury to the Government of July, would seek to take advantage in order to gratify its vanity and hatred. of the deplorable events which have stained the capital with blood. and which we lament in conjunction with all good citizens. We only reply by pledging ourselves before all France, to continue with courage and perse- verance the struggle we have maintained against the

doctrines of the quasst, legitimacy ; but we cannot shtick.

our application to the King to be misrepresented and calumniated, as our honour is thereby compromiva The principle aim ofour applicatron was to prevent trre measure of rc-action which we then anticipated, and to warn the King against the danger ofviolent counsels that might be given him. Let those who blame it obtain forus leave to break that silence which respect irnpOses upon us. and France will see wether on this occasion we have been unfaithful to our duties towards the Krrrg and country.

Our contemporary, the Standard. throws awct great deal of its wonted ability in conjuring up inn; nary alarms at the frightful results which are lrkciy ensue from illumination and other rejoicings upon 1 passing of the Reform Bills. He states. that " the p, posed illumination will not pass over wrthout great t' mage to property, probably not without blood." i then alludes to the probability ofthe recent scenes Bristol being acted over again to a frightful extent the metropolis ; and suggests as a preventive. that ; persons who entertain the same fears should irnrne. ater make affidavits and send them to Lord Melborr. who, upon receipt of them, is bound “to issue a not. to forbid it," -

Our contemporary, who has throughout acted most able and consistent part in defence of the pri ‘ ciples which he has espoused, seems rnclrned. Iv must say, rather to over-act his part at the closu scene. Our contemporary will not have been u first actor who has marred in the d ing scene it effect and brilliancy of his previous e rts.
