Ireland-
There appears to be a general inclination to .
resist the repayment of the loans advanced by ;
government, through lha “Relief Coiumisson
ers,” to the several poor-law boards through
out Ireland, for the purpose of alleviating the
universal distress which prevailed in that
country during the past year. Such conduct
will no doubt lead to very aetiotis results, es- i
pecially if the government insist upon the re- i
payment of the loan.
Sir John Scott Lillie has addressed a left ter
to the electors of Dungafvan, to justify him
self for not having come forward to oppose the
election of Mr. Shiol. The reasons ho as igns
are, manifold. In the first place, Mr. Shell was
the steadfast friend of Air. O’Connell, an 1 his
chosen champoin in the monster trials; next,
personal obligation to O’Connell and respect 1
for his memory forbade Sir John to oppose his
friend at the moment O’Connell's remains
were about to be consigned to their last home;
thirdly, there is no proof that Air. Sheii is not
a Repealer, since he had spoken and voted for
Repeal on the only occasion which it was
brought before the House of Commons by
Mr. O’Connell. The mere acceptance of of- j
fice is not in Sir John’s opinion incompatible
with the support of Repeal; and he instances
the late O’Connor Don, an avowed advocate
of Repeal, who held the office of a Lord of
the Treasury; from which fact he infers that
Government intend to make Repeal an open
question.
Up to this time there have been Compara
tively few failures in Ireland; but the pres
sure has been of such long continuance, that
many of the traders are totally unable to meet
their engagements. One of the most exten
sive houses in Cork, in the wholesale grocerv
line, had lately to suspend payment, although
they showed by their books that if thev re
ceived 10s. in the pound of the debts due to
them, they would have property and assets
sufficient to pay 30s. in the pound, A meet
ing of the creditors of the house, however,
took place, when it was finally arranged that
three months should be given for the pay
. ment of all demands on them in full, which
was guaranteed by a person of extensive wealth
in the city. Other houses have not been so
fortunate in the arrangement of their affairs,
and it is to be feared that several more failures
.must follow. In the baking line two or three
extensive failures have also taken place du
ring the week.
A “monster meeting” is announced at Hol
lycross, in the county of Tipperary, for this
day, (Sept. 19.) The movement is arranged
under the semblance of a single demonstra
tion in favor of what is called “tenant right.” i
The Belfast papers, according to an official
return, saysthe sums advanced by the Relief
Commissioners to finance committees on the
credit of rates, up to the 14th of August last,
amount in the Stoss to £1,301,758. Os this
large amount all that Ulster required to bor
row was £89.762, the other three provinces
having a division of £1,211,996. Averaging
the three southern provinces, the amount to
each would be £403,998 16s. Bd., or four and
a half times more for any one than was re
quired for the northern provinces.
At the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal
Association, held on the 6th ult.,-the proceed
ings were without interest. The rent amount
ed to £B9. On the meeting of the 13th ult.,
the rent was £67 19s. 2d. The customary
speeches, abounding with invective against
England for having starved Ireland, were
made by the principal speakers.
Air. John O’Connell has issued a circular to
nil the Irish members, calling a meeting in
Dublin, in the early part of November, to con
sidi r the alarming state of the country and of
public affairs, and to counsel as to the reme
dial measures which it will be their duty to
press upon the attention of the Government.

On the 23d nit. an official statement was pub
lished containing the dismissal of several mem
bers of the old cabinet, and the nomination of
their successors. The Con tie do Tojal, da
Barca, Bayard, Lcitao, and de Almeida are
“dismissed,” such is the word employed in the
official dec iraent, and the following are ap
pointed to vacant offices:—A. de A. Aiello e
Carvalho, Alinister of the Kingdom and Presi
dent of the Council of Ministers; Francisco
Antonio Fernandez da Silva Ferrao, Ecclesias
tical Affairs and Justice; Baron da Luz, For
eign Affairs; Alarina Miguel Franzini, Fi
nance; Joao de Aiello, Alarinc and Colonies;
Baron Almafolla, War. These appointments
were countersigned by Carvalho, who having
been applied to on the failure of de Maghal
heaiis to form an administration, appears to
have found no difficulty in arranging the above
cabinet. On assuming the reins of office,
the Carvalho cabinet put forward an exposi
tion of the political principles by which its
members would be guided. In this they de
clare that the cabinet has adopted the concilia
tion between all the parties, as the basis of its
policy; that it is determined to respect and ob
serve* the charter; to fulfil all the diplomatic
engagements contracted with foreign powers;
and to carry on the Government on principles
of honesty and Independence.
By advices from Angola, it appears that
Coalite Bomfin and his two sons, who had
been sent to Alossamcs, after the abortive con
spiracy to seize the government of the colony,
had endeavored to effect their escape on board
the schooner Conselho. The Governor of
Mossamca, hearing of this, applied to the
commander of an English brig-of-war to seize
the schooner, which was proceeding thus in
defiance of the authorities, which the Eng
lish commander did, and carried Bomfin, his
sons, and some .soldiers who were on board,
prisoners to Angola, Th; Governor of the
colony then placed them under a strong guard
on board the corvette Delampago. Connt Vil
lareal’s son and General Cclestino were con
fined in the fort of San Aliguel. The health
of all the prisoners, without exception, was
good.
'Sir C. Napier’s fleet arrived at Lisbon on the
22d August,
By the last accounts the struggles between
4he parties were still going on in anticipation
of the approaching elections.
A royal decree was published in the Diario
of the 31st ult., revoking the decree of the
21st of November, 1846, by which it was enact
ed that any one paying any tax or public rev
enue to the insurgent authorities, would have
to make good the same payment again to the
treasury.

Sir Charles was to sail from Lisbon on a cruise,
on the 10th ult. Corta [Cabral was still ac
tively engaged in political intrigues, aue had

party against the present ministry.
Spain.
Notwithstanding the great efforts made by
General Narvaez to form a ministry,he has com-
failed, At a conference hold between
General Narvaez and the most influential men
of the Aloderado party, and AI. Alon among
others, it was agreed that no ministry could
endure if its members were not chosen from
among the deputies belonging to that party.
Al. Alon personally declined accepting office at
present, but left AL Ridal and his friends at
liberty to decide for themselves, and promised
his support to any administration composed of
Aloderado elements. It was then resolved that
General Narvaez should prepare a list of thir
teen persons, out of whom the Queen should
choose seven. The following are the names
of those persons*. —Foregn Affairs and President
of the Council, General Narvaez; Finance, AI
Orlando or AI. Santillan; Interior, AL Ben
avides or AL Sajrtorhis; Justice, AI Pidal or Al
Arrazola; AVar, General Alarzarredo or General
Corvoda; AI. Sotclio or General Ros de Olano;
Public Instruction, Al. Olivan or Al. Rios
Rosas. This was presented by Narvaez to the
Queen, audits reception is thus described by
La Presse;
The Queen was not only inflexible in ref us
ing to accept the industry proposed by Narvaez,
but her majesty received him in a manner
: which he did not expect. Amongst other
things, the Queen told him that she was de
termined to call the Progressistas to her coun
cils, to which Narzacz replied, “Your majesty
forgets, no doubt, that the Progressistas are by
tradition, by position, and by system, the most
dangerous enemies of your throne, and the
adversaries of your prerogative.” Her majes
ty —“I forget nothing; my resolution is fixed;
and at the worst, I shall retain my present
ministers.” “Your majesty will permit me to
observe that it was not necessary to summon
me from Paris to toll me this.” “It was not I
who summoned yon.” “Then may mission is
concluded.” “Completely concluded, and you
may withdraw.” The same paper, violent
always in its opposition to every thin g English,
ascribes the Queen’s resolution to “the in
defatigable intrigues of Air. Bulwer.” It says:
“The representative of England moved hea
ven and earth, and employed all his secret
agents. The Queen, abandoned to her own
inspirations, and reflecting coolly on her per
sonal position and on that of Spain, had na
turally received General Narvaez as the man
recommended by his influence, his character,
and his services, tore-establish order in the
Government, to tranquilise public opinion,
and to restore to the throne the prestige and
consideration with the loss of which it is me
naced. It waS*then that Air. Bulwer,who found
himself particularly compromised, repaired to
the palace, where he quickly recovered his
fatal influence, by means of which British dip
lomacy possesses the secrect. He terrified the
Queen by a description of the plans of Gen
eral Narvaez, whom he represented as the chief
of a conspiracy concocted at Paris against her
royal authority. He engaged to procure a
divorce, and to obtain for the Queen the hand
of a son of the Queen of Portugal, and to whom
she would be merely betrothed until the day
i on which he should be of age to be married. In
i the mean time she should enjoy the plenitude
of her authority and her liberty, and General
Serrano should bo appointed idajor-dome rif
the palace, and Captain General of Aladrid.”
The duke of Valencia having foiled to form
a ministry, AL Salamanca was commissioned
by the Queen to undertake the task, and thd
result was, AL Salamanca, Minister of Finance!
AI. Patricio de la Escosura, Alinister of the
Interior; Gen Ros do Olano, of Commerce, In
struction, and Public Works; Gen. Cordova,
of War; AI. Goyena, of Justice; Gen. Soleto, of
| Alarine; AL Antonio Caballero, Under Secretary
of State of the Foreign Department, who was
to direct it ad ini&'im, until the reply of the
Duke de Farias, to whom it had been offered,
could be received. Gen. Alaix was to be ap
pointed Captain General of Aladrid. Gen
* Narvaez was expected to resign the embassy
j to Paris. Should the Duke de Frias not accept
: the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, it was to be
I offered to AI. Onis. AI. Cabestani, the political
■ chief of Cadiz, has been appointed Under
; Secretary of State for the Ministry of the In
terior. The candidates for the post of Political
Chief of Aladrid are AI. Saragossa and Gen.
Ilequena. AI. Pacheco is to be accredited as
Alinister of Sain at Home.
Tuscany.
On the 4th ult., popular demonstrations hav
ing reached a great height, the Grande Duke
Leopold 11. was compelled to issue a decree,
erecting the civic guard; and a general feeding

Lucca. —In consequence of severer arbitrary
i arrests effected by order and under the -eyes of
| the hereditary prince, the populution of Lucca,
i yose tumultuously on the Ist ult. The here
ditary prince is married to the daughter of
the Duchess de Berry. The prince having
departed for the summer residence of the
Duke of Lucca, and San Alartin. a body of five
throusand to six thousand men proceeded in
the same direction, and meeting h's carriage,
pelted it with stones. The rising having as
| sumed a dangerous aspect, the ministers of
the duke strongly insisted on his giving some
satisfaction to public opinion, declaring in case
of a refusal, that they would resign their
posts. The duke acccoded to their wishes,and
issued a proclamation, instituting the civic
guard, and pledging himself to adopt the im
provements contemplated by their neighbor in
Tuscany. This calmed the popular agitation,
and the person* arrested were set at liberty; in
i the evening a solemn Te Deum was sung in
the cathedral, and the town was illumated. In
surrectionary movements, also took place on
the 3d nit., at Alossina and Reggio, in the
kingdom of the two Sicilies.
The disturbances,however w< re productive of
no serious result,two regiments of Infantry hav
ing been sufficient to suppress them. Rein
forcements had been sent to Sicily. Letters
of the 3d ult. state that on the 2d the Duke,
accompanied by his son, made his entry into
the city, amidst the acclamations of the peo
ple, who flocked thither in multitudes from
the neighboring towns and states to congratu
| fote him on his accession to the cause of reform.
! The Prince issued, on the same day, a decree
of amnesty, and ordered all prosecutions in
stitnted against political offenders to be sns
: pended.
Switzerland.
The discussion in the Diet on the expulsion
of the Jesuits was brought to a close on the
3d instant, when the twelve cantons and two
half cantons adopted the following proceed
ing:—In conformity with articles one; and
eighteen of the Compact, the Diet is bound to
watch over the maintenance of order and in
ternal security of the Confederation. Consider
ing that the existence and secret practices of
the Jesuits are incompatible with the order
and peace of Switzerland, and seeing, in fine,
i their presence, particularly in Lucerne, one of
the cantons of the Directory, decree, 1. The
question of the Jesuits is -within the compe
tency of the high Diet. 2. The cantoris of
Lucerne, Schwytz, Fryburg and Valais, in
which the Jesuits are established, are invited
to expel them from their territories. 3. The
admission, in future, or Jesuits into any one of
the cantons of Switzerland is interdicted.
The Diet, however, did not pronounce on
the means by which the decision was to be en
forced. This important step is reserved for
the November sitting. 'I he representatives
of Lucerne, Schwytz, and Valais respectively
protected in the name of their constituents,and |
declared that they would maintain the Jesuits
in spite of the injunction of the Diet.
In the course of the sitting the Directory j
informed the Diet, that the Government of ,
Lucerne was constructing additional fortifica
tion on different points along the frontier of j
xVrgua. That communication was referred to
the committee charged with presenting pro
positions for the dissolution of the Sonderbund.

archs, under date Athens, 21st ult.: —“We
hasten to announce to you that the rebellion
in Euboea is terminated in the skirmish which
took place on the evening of the 6th (18th)
hast., a cannon ball carried off the left aim of
the chief of the rebellion, Griziotis, and worm- i
ded him seriously in the abdomen. On the [
Bth (20th), towards seven o’clock, A. M., the ;
i royal troops, commanded by the aid-de-camp
ofthe King, M. Gardikiotts Grivas, with the
zealous co-operation ofthe naval force, attack
ed, with the greatest courage, the position of
the rebels. After an engagement which lasted |
an hour, they completely routed them, and i
gain 'd possession of their entrenchments in the
plain. The rebels retired into their fortifica
tions on the mountain of Copana; but, being
there assailed on all sides, they took to flight,
and dispersed in disorder through the moun
tains, pursued by the royal troops. A very
small party of the rebels, bearing on their
shoulders the chief ofthe rebellion, proceeded
towards Kymi, still pursued by the royal
troops, and their capture appeared inevitable.

Shekib Effendi, Turkish abmassadors at
Vienna, has drawn up a project concerning

bunals. Lord Cowley has held a conference
on the subject with AU Effendi; he pretends
these asticles are derogatory to the dispositions
ofthe primitive law, that all the European

up those articleSjbut that they should not be put
in vigor before the objections of the different
powers should have received a difinite solution.

Health of the President.
The Washington Union, of the sth instant,
says —‘ This morning’s Richmond Enquirer
states that a report was ‘very current last
evening announcing the President’s death.’
We art; happy to state that the President is
much better, and was for several hours to-day
in consultation with his cabinet.”
General Thanksgiving-,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Mis
souri have each appointed the 25th day of No
vember next, for public Thanksgiving. It is
generally expected that the Executives of oth- 1
States in which this festival is celebrated, will
establish its observance this year on the same ,
day. Such uniformity is much to be desire I.
The French steamer Philadelphia did not
leave Cherbourg on the loth ult., having been
detained for repairs. The next steamer of that
line to arrive is the Missouri, which was to
leave on the 30th ult.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, under date of oth inst., writes —
“A special messenger will be dispatched to
recall Mr. Trist. lie will probably got his pa
pers to-day. With the troops now in the field,
on the way, and about to be called _ out, we
will be strong enough, not only to keep what
we have acquired, but to open communica
tions with the Pacific, as I informed you in
ray last letter, by the way of Acapulco. This
will give us ah opportunity to communicate as
quick as possible with our squadron in the Pa
cific, and give an additional value to the ac
quisition of California.
“The war, now to be carried on against
Mexico, will be similar to that waged by Na*- |
polcon against Austria and Italy, by Sir Henry
I Pottlnger against China, and by Sir Harry
Smith against the Sikhs, i. e., it will support
its own expenses and acquire territory besides
—the right and lawful issue of all wars.”
“The President resumed his post in Cabinet
meeting this morning. Every member pre
i sent. The administration have determined to
; call out, immediately, the remainder of troops
: which the law authorizes, for Mexico —the
j Departments are accordingly directed to ar
range the details as speedily as possible, and
in a very few days we shall know the result of
, their labors.”
The Chinese Junk.
' The difficulty between Captain Kellat and
his Chinese crew, at New York, has been
amicably settled. He pays SI,OOO for their

’ Fellcw Fever.
The Now Orleans Delta of the 3d inst. says
—Our columns daily present, in the list of
interments at the several city cemeteries, grati
fying evidence of the fact that the mortality of
the epidemic continues to decline, and is now
at a low figure. Os this, too, we sec other
j proofs around us. The streets are no longer im
| ccasingly traversed with funeral corteges; our
• citizens are not rololy engrossed with atten
| dance on the sick, *md hi pfcying tributes of
! respect to the dead. The pulse of business
; again commences to beat, and our citizens
! are beginning to cast off that lethargy bf which,
j so far as all business interests were concerned, i
the scenes through which we have passed
were a powerful predisposing agent.
But satisfactory as the change in the health
of our city is, we would be still far from sug
gesting the return of absent citizens, or saying
that the time is come when we may be visited
• with impunity by strangers. In matters of
this kind, the sure course is the safe one. We
believe that our most experienced medical men
would not undertake to say that the unacc’i
mated hazard nothing in coming to the city,
and that causes, now latent, may not increase
the danger. Let all, then, stay away allua
acclimatecl persons —till we have frost, and
the press sounds the glad trumpet to return! |

Cob Fremont’s Trial.
The Boston Post is informed by a private
letter from Washington that Col. Fremont’s j
trial is to commence on the Bth proximo, at
Fortress Monroe, (Old Point Comfort,) Gen. j
George M. Brooke has been selected as the
presiding officer. He is at present in command j
at New Orleans. Col. Taylor, (a brother of
old Zach,) now stationed at Louisville, Ky., j
Col. Crane, Major Graham, and Col Hunt, of j
the quartermaster’s department, are to be j
members of the court. The list is probably not
yet complete, though the gentlemen named
above are determined on. Stockton is expect
ed to arrive by the Bth. Col. Benton has late
ly written from Missouri, asking to have Cap
tain Smith, now stationed at St. Louis, ordered
to attend the trail as a witness, on the ground
that he is the author of a portion of the news
paper reflections on the conduct of Fremont.”
The War.
A call was made through the New Orleans
papers of Thursday week for a general meeting
of the citizens to take into consideration the re
fusal of the enemy to treat for peace, and to
assure our Government “that tne people of
New Orleans arc ready as they ha've always
been, to prosecute the war with their persons,
and if necessary, with their money.” The
Courier says : “We are persuaded that a pub
lic meeting held for this purpose and animated
with the true American spirit, would have the
happiest effect, by shewing that the Govern
ment have the coridal support of the public
in pursuing an honorable peace, through a war
vigorously conducted, and convincing the en
emy that he labors under a mistake in suppos
ing that party spirit has any power to divide
the American people from their Government,
in questions of national rights and honors.”
The meeting was held on Thursday, and
was well attended. The Mayor, A. C. Cross
man, presided, assisted by several Vice Presi
dents. The following resolutions were adopt
ed—
Resolved, That the present war with Mexico
is one just and necessary for the preservation
of the rights, and the assertion of the honor of
our country.
Resolved, That it has been conducted with
equal humanity and glory by the brave officers
and soldiers of our army, and that they have
earned for themselves a monument of imper
ishable glory.
Resolved, That the repeated offers by our
Government of equitable and liberal terms of
peace, and the repeated and insolent rejection
of those terms by Mexico, leaves us no alter
native but to prosecute the war with all the
power of the country until peace is honestly
sought by the foe, or Mexico finally subju
gated.
Resolved, That it is the duty of every Ameri
i can citizen to do all in his power to aid our
Government in the vigorous and successful
prosecution of the Avar.
| Alabama Rice. —We were shown a sample of
; Bice at the store of A. J. Terrell & Co. of this
place, the other day, raised on the plantation
of Col. Abel Hagerty, which is situated on
the Tallapoosa river, 4 miles from Wetumpka,
which was as pretty w hite rice as w e have ever
seen from any South Carolina plantation.—
| Those who have used this rice give it a decid
ed preference over that of any they can pro
-1 cure elsewhere,as it is much sweeter and equal
ly as white as rice that is raised in any coun
try. \\ e learn that Col. Hagerty has shipped
to Mobile during the last two wrecks some thir
ty or forty casks, and that his crop this season
will be between seventy-five and one hundred
casks. His success in raising this article is
now well established, and as it bids fair to yield
a better profit than the growth of cotton, it is
probable this sterling old farmer designs to in
crease his forces :n the production of this arti
cle. This proves that Alabama is fast advanc
ing towards a competition with her sister
1 States in agricultural as well as mineral pur
suits, — Wetumpka Guard, Oth inst.

From Havana.
The brig Adams (tray, Capt. Collins, arriv
ed yesterday from Havana, bringing files of pa
pers, to the 25th ult., inclusive. They are fil
led with matters of a purely local interest,
and the only item of news we find in them is
that the brig Leopold O’Donnell, which sail
ed from Charleston for Havana, went ashore
at Key West, after being twenty-four days
but, but was got off on the 22d ult. No par
ticulars are given, nor is it stated whether she
proceeded on her voyage or put into port for
repairs.
Our Consul at Havana.—lt w ill be remem
bered that when the news of Paredes arrived
here, several presses, and ourselves in the
number, censured Mr. Campbell, our Consul
at Havana, for not having sent a person on the
steamer with Paredes, that the authorities at
Yera Cruz might be informed of his hi rival
at the earliest possible moment. . We have
received from Havana, the followihg letter;
i defending Mr. Campbell, and in justice.to hint
1 publish it: Havana, Sept; 25; 1847;
| Editors of the Picayune —l perceive that there
has been some excitement in New' Orleans hi
i relation to the landing of Paredes itl Ter;t
j Cruz‘ and a disposition to attach some censure
j to the American consul for not having takeii
1 such steps as would have acquainted Gov;
Wilson with the fact of his (Paredes) being oil
board of the British steamer.
It is generally understood in this city that
| the consul had taken the necessary steps; that
i he wrote to Gov. Wilson, and also to the col
lector of Vere Cruz; and fearing the landingof
Paredes might be erteetod before letlers could
reach those gentlemen through the post office*
j he sought some other mode of sending his
communications. This was offered by Mr. A.
H. Carpenter, who had been attached to the
quartern!,ister’s department of Vera Cruz, and
j who stated that he had an acqn imtance on
i board the steamer who would take charge of
the letters and deliver them on the first visit
jof the boat from the custom-house. This was
to all appearance the best mode which c< u’d
be selected, unless a special agent was era
| ployed for the purpose of delivery, and I have
! no idea that any agent could have been engag
ed for a less sum than from five to six hun
dred dollars —and, would the U. S. Govern
ment have sanctioned such an expenditure for
a purpose apparently so useless? For Paredes
was well known in Vera Cruz, and it would
not have been deemed probable that ho
was known to so many could have elud
ed the vigi lance of our officers and have es
j capod from the city, not that I think his arriv
al in Mexico is worthy of consideration. You
will readily perceive on perusing the above
that no blame can be attached to our consul
in the affair.
