Lonnon, August 4, 1848, The State of Ireland—Sardinia—Italy—Condition of Evrope—The English and Scotch Chartists. } The long threatened rebellion in Ireland has at length commenced, and whatever may be the issue of theevent at the present moment, it will give birth to circumstances which will, at no remote day, secure the liberation of that unhappy land from the gripe of of its oppressors, Coercion, asa general rule of action; can never govern a people; and the vaunted boast of the Engl ch press, that the sword must be the only peace maker in Ireland, is as fallacious as it is brutal. ‘The sentiment ef the press thus uttered, is thato | nine-tenths of the upper and middle classes in Eng” Yand; and isolated opinions, even if moderately ex- pressed to the contrary, are treated as emanations from revolutionary propagandists. The restraint that | thus fetters the free expression of opinion respecting | Ireland, must be variously attributed; for, with some, it may arise from a fear of injury to private interests; with others, to a spirit of mastery in warfare, whilst with thi eater part. it may be attributed to fear o anarchy and bloodshed, which, in every probability, | would occur in England, were that in the sister coun- | try successful. That ardent reformers and philanthropists should condemn wanton outrage and anarchy, is natural; but that the efforts of almost an entire people to shake offan irksome and protracted misrule, crising froma | difference of interests, religion, and habits, should be resisted by the great mejority of the educated classes, ean only be accounted for by a fear of « change for | the worse as respects English interests, American readers may, in some measure, judge of the kind of justice that bas been measured out to Ireland for the last half century, and. at the same time, learn to ap- preciate. as no doubt they do, the blessings of free- dom and abundance, by a slight retrospect, com- | mencing with the suspension of the habeas corpus act in 1800; again three years, namely, from 1802 till 1805; then from 1807 till 1810; also, im 1814; being again re- newed from 1822 till 1824; and, lastly, let it be hoped, inthe present year, 1848. During the above period, martial Jaw existed fur two years, and numereus co- | ercion and arms acts were passed. Can it be supposed that the suspension of thecon- | stitutional liberties of eight millions of people should be quietly submitted to, the more so, when that sus- pension ehas been made by a legislature, who, with a sayage enthusiasm, trampied under foot their stand- ing orders, and in one night read three times and assed an’ act, with only eight dissenting voices, for immuring in prison any citizen at the mere will or caprice of the Viceroy or his officials? ‘+ Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” is aproverb that well applies to the patient suffering of Ireland; for, is any one ig- norant cf the wohsirous injustice perpetrated by an overgrown church establishment, which extracts enor- mous wealth from a starving people; and is it not | unjuet. that this people should cultivate the goil for a rapacious aristocracy, who secure a gross agricultural produce, estimated at eighty millions sterling, leaving scarcely the tares to supporta miserable existence. Divine, indeed, is the injunction that forbids the muzzling of the ox that treads out the corn; but, hitherto, it is one that has not penetrated the hearts of the Irish landowner. The preceding briefand imperfect summary induces a train of me- lancholy feeling. which there is no reasonable hope, will be immediately dispelled. ihe ardent friends of Irish freedom would view the present outbreak erro- neously were they {to calculate on a present suc- ceraful issue of the contest; they must bear in mind that a government, having even # comparatively amall force at its disposal, bas the advantages arising from system and organization to bafilea whole population— 6 more s0, When that government has the couate- nance and suppost of nearly the whole of the middle classes in England and Scotland, independent of its being a death struggle for the maintenance of Eng- lish supremacy. which will only be surrendered at a | terrible price. Whilst. however, the prevailing opinion | is given as to the unsuccessful issue of the contest, it | would be wrong not to mention the fact that, in the year 1798, it required an army of one hundred thousand men to suppress the Irish rebellion, and now it is pro- posed to effect the same purpose with forty-five thous. and men, which, however, may be accetiuted for by improvements in the mode of warfare, especially in the ‘use cf rockets, which sre eaid to deal awful destruc. tion amongst Jargé masses of people. It is also worthy of note, that the Hebrew Chronicle rebukes the tone of levity which its brethren assume towards the ‘rebel crew,” and the “aspiring traitor,” as they style Mr Smith rien, Itshows clearly that in ireland there exists more than encugh of material wherewith not only to make a formidable but a succeseful revolt.and that, ifit fails, it ix owing to the crisis having been | tated to by a bellowing journalist. | Fegret, even to these who are sticklei | the present church establishmept. | by the church and the ministry, who know they have | change of ministry. | one is notorious, and a diegrace to the country; and hurried on too soon by government, and thus left the organization in progress incomplete and abortive is certain that had not matters assumed a serious as- et, it is not probable that General Napier would Bove been sent there; and it affords some evidence of a darkening of the cloud, that he should have been so quickly followed by Lord Harding Inieference to the foregoing remarks, it may not be out of place to observe that, in England, American sympathy and proffered aid is variously viewed. ‘The rational one, however, attributes to those who drew their first breath in Ireland, and probs bly left it under the impulse of irritated feelings, caused by want and oppression—those extreme measures which alike pro- | voke the mirth and the spleen of the English autocrat, whilst to the American, of educatién and position, it attributes a sympathy for suffering and oppression as exhibited by the unhappy Celt. Turning to other sources of anxiety, which present themselves to the notice of government, the inost se- rious, or, to epenk more apppopriately, the most alarm- ing. fs the position of King Charles Albert, of Sardinia. A succession of defeats, by the Austrians, has, it is said, now induced him, as a last and unwilling re- source, to claim French intervention. Posy, thousand men are demanded with great urgency, and it is con- sidered doubtful whether they can be furnished, as the intestine affairs of France require almost her whole available force to keep the communist population in proper subordination. Whilst every one must regret this reverse of fortune to the cause of liberty in Lom- dardy, few will eympathize with this royal hypocrite, | who, in espousing the cause of treedom, in realit sought his own aggraad'zement in aspiring to the pos- session of the iron crown. it is still porsible that the long-cherished hope of France wil through the instrumentality of her arms, and that peninsula knit into a compact republic, tothe exclu- sion of the Sardinian republic. ‘Whether General Cavaignac will in this respect con- sider it safe to resist the popular will in France, re- mains tobe seen It is beyond matter of speoulation that England has urged every obstacle in the way of such an intervention; and it is feared that the in- fluence of the English ambassador at Paris bas had such an effect on the General, that Austrian rule will be again established in Italy. The Lombards are somewhat similar to the Irish, in seeking too much for foreign aid, instead of depending upon their ownener- gies and resources. On the fate of Italy depends al mort the existence or the annihilation of royalty in Europe; and a successful French intervention, based on proper principles, is apprehended by the ruling po- tentstes with horror, knowing full well when that event occurs that the political death-knell will be sounding in their ears. ‘The British aristocracy sew clearly the coming storm, but vain and fruitiess was Lord Minto’s mission to Switzerland and Italy, and equally hopeless bis endeavors to reconcile the Sicilians to their former yoke under the ruffian Leopold of Naples. The summary of these remarks is brief, and point clearly to the perfect political delivera nee of Italy, and at the same time of Europe, should integrity of pur- re guide and terminate the intervention of France ngland dreads it more than any other event that oculd occur; and it is amusing to observe the cringing whine of the Times, as it urges on France mediation, rather than an armed intervention, in seeking a solu- tion to the adjustment of Italian affairs. It appears certein that the King of Prussia is also alarmed, ax he had declared to the French Envoy at Berlin, that he Will oppose either «n intervention or any attempt to | establish an Italian republic, and tho that an under-tandirg exists between Prussia, that they will oppose either of the above ob- jeots being carried into effect, if they can do so with any degree of safety, and without involving thom- selves in a general war, which the English people robability ix ‘would nover allow their government to plunge them | into.

Ifthe ordnance do not-mind what the: ore about with the map, the view of the metropolis will, after all, be the main attraction. Public meetings, to take into consideration various questions referring to the political privileges of the people, are being held almost nightly. A very large assemblage met last evening at Westminster, to endea- vor to obtain some alterations in the representative system.

At Rochdale, at attempt was made | toget up a chartist meeting, but proved fruitless; and at Greenock, in Scotland. a couple of chartist leaders have been arrested. This is the whole of excitable intelligence I have to give. The state of trade, in some ot the more importa: t of our manufacturing towns, is not particularly lively, nor is it dull. At Manche-ter, a weekly report is made up of the state of the tactories, the Jast of which has been forwarded tome. It ap- peors that, compared with the previous week, there are seven more mills working full time with the fall num- ber of hands; one less working full time, with part only of the hands; a decrease of four working short time, and a decrease of five stopped. In the whole number of bands employed, it shows a reduction of 314; but there are 1.116 more on full time, and 470 less | on short time, There were last week 39 534 employed; | this week there are 39.220. This is about the most upratirfactory account of the provinces—in other laces trade has slightly improved.

Verily, and of a truth, the success which has recently attended the voyages of the United States,Hermann,and Washing- ton steamers, ought to stimulate the owners of thore fine ships to renewed exertions, to make their property as convenient and regular as possible; end then, as I have frequently, before stated, the New York, South- | ampton and Bremen line of steamers will speedily be- come one of the most healthy and prosperous of ocean steam undertakings, It seems to be a pity, that certain members of Con- gress thould quibble about the amounts paid for the ocean mail service, just because the first trial of a certain enterpriee, for a short time, has not responded to the rather too sanguine hopes that were entertained in regard to the amount of postage for the conveyance of letters.

With reference to the Schleswig-Holatein dispute, it is hard to make head or tail of it. Just as every one thought peace would be proclaimed it was formally announeed that the negotiations were broken off, and that hostilities would instantly recommence. ' The conduct of the Prussian commander-in chief, General Wrangel, is spoken of as inexplicable, as it appears he refused to ratify the armistice after having been di- rected to do so by the king his master. and after it had been arranged and agreed to between the represen- | tatives of Denmark, Sweden, Russia, and Prussia, It was feared that General Wrangel was acting under instructions of the Frankfort Confederation, which bas taken the provisional government of Schleswig under its protection.

In making these observations, I do not wish you to think that I appzove for one mony nt of the re-estab- lishment of Austrian rule in Lombardy, On the con- trary, I deeply sympathize with tho brave Milanese who drove out their Austrian task-masters, and who fought with that bravery and courage which only true patriotiem. and a righteous cause, can inspire. But the provisional government of Milan has been duped, and it should cast off the assistance of the King of Sardinia at once, undertake its own cause, and then the assistance of France would be kindly and effectually accorded. ‘There is one thing to be considered by the executive government of France, In the event of General Ca- vaignac marching the French army into Italy, Russia, in all probability, would take part with Austria; and then where the ‘affair would end, Heaven only knows, | Rusia, just now, bappens to be well prepared with the | sinews of war—money.

Resignation of the Ministry—The Refusal of the Pope to declare War against ustria—Au Emeute. The Eternal City is involved in a cruel dilemma.— The Pope bas conscienslous scruples as toa declara | tion of war against Austria, and peremtorily refuses to ranction it, The public is just as peremptory in in- tisting upon it. The ministry have demanded of his Holiness authority to declare war, and that being re- fused, have resigned. ‘The Pope has tried to get » mi- nistry formed on neutral principles without success and thus the State is, in fact, without a government. A committee has been formed for the legations at Bo- logna, to conduct the war independently of the cen- tral authority at Rome, and a similar committee here i Iked of. The public discontent burst forth the oth rday,in ascene like that of the 16th of May at aris. ‘The populace rushed into the chamber and demand- ed with loud cries, an immediate declaration of war against Austria, The President having put on his hat. and baving declared the chamber suspended, ad- ¢ressed the populace, and pressed them to leave the place, They afterwards went to the castle’ of Saint Angelo, and attempted to force it, but were repulsed and dispersed. ‘The Pope, it is said, would be contented to allow a ministry to act independently of him on the question ct war: if he does not, it is to be feared that conse- quences may’ ensue which would not only be fatal to his authority, but perhaps involve results destrac- tive of Italian independence.

It was supposed, some ten days since, that the new loan would have been the precursor of a favcrable change in the market, This great financial measure 80 favorably received, showed a return of confidence by the capitalists in the government ; and,as day by day, political affairs appeared to assume a character of greater calm and security, it was expected that affaire atthe Bourse would reassume thoir wonted, aspect, ‘and that all securities would rise. ‘The loan was. pre- sented to the chamber on Saturday, the 22, and | Voted om the Monday ; and yet, on the day after the fall began to takes decided course, and from the 22- to the 29th, there was a decline on the threes of £8 75, Bd on the fives of £5. This fall appears to havo beon produced by the measure allowing the holders of cer. lfleates of subscription of the old loan of 1847, om which some payments had been made, to deliver thom in payment of subscriptions to the now loan. ‘The hold- ders of these certificates were thus enabled to obtain the new loan at a rate below the market price of the 6 per cents, and by their throwing them on the market, they cecasioned a general depreciation of all values, The + mount of these oertificates, thus paid into the tre: sury, was estimated at twenty millions; but this was not the real measure of the ales, since holders on spe- culation, seeing the funds likely to continue in de- cline, also brought large amounts into the market.

This week bas passed over without being marked by | any event werth recording. Neither the Committee of Enquiry on the events of May and June, has publish. ed its report, nor has the Committee on the Constitu- tion approached the termination of its labors. Itis expected to-day, however, that the former committee will present its report to the Assembly, and I may pos- sibly be able, before I close this letter, to give you the substance of it. It is understood that fourteen out of fifteen of the bureaux, have rejected the m of two chambers : they will have no Senate, but the Council of State wil! be invested with functions analagous to those of the Senate. It is aleo decided, (Fo far, at least, as the bureaux are concerned), that the President shall be nominated by universal suffrage, and not, as some desived, by the Assembly. A serious ccllision bas just taken place between the Committee of Finance and the Mirister, which will | lead, (Jt is said) toa complete dissolution of the Minis- | try. M, Gondchaux, the Minister of Finance, M. Bas- tide, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M. Recurt, the | Minister of Public Works, will be obliged to retire.— This would be tantamount toa complete dissolution of the present government. | 1 give you this as the public news; but it is right to | tell you also, ibat an opinion prevails very generally, that the republic, after ail, is not destined to live. This may, or may not be, well founded; but such, neverthe- less, is the impression which prevails among a largo | body of well-informed, and in general, sound.judging perrons. The idea is, that France will relapse into a constitutional monareby, the crown of which will probably be destined for the brows of the Pount de Peris. It is at the same time admitted that such a re- sult could only be arrived at through much bloodshed, and would probably be preceded by a red republic. It is imporsible to convey to you the horror which | in entertained here, of what is called the red republic, | which is another name for a new reign of terror, such | as weuld have been established if Barbe, Blahqui and | the others, now shut up in the Castle of Vincennes, | d succeeded in their attompt on the 15th May, You will recollect that Barbis proposed the re-establish- ment of the guillotine, and a forced contribution of one thousand millions from the rich, It was also de clared that the republic could not be established un- til 200,000 heads should fall. It was the horror inspired | by this, thot stimulated the National (Guard to the deeds of valor which they enacted during the late in- | surrection. The bourgeosie of Paris is determined to sell its life dearly. and to fall before barricades, rather than on the scaffold erected by the rufflans who com- pose the socialist party. | You will read in the journals the oration of M, Prnd- hon, and of the loaders of socialism, in support of his proposition to confiscate one. third of the Property ofthe country tion which was rejected, bys majo- | rity of 601 94 2, one of the two being, of course, M.

One of the propositions of this | member of the Assembly is, that females should be put | in seclusion, being fit only to breed children and suckle | them ; that it is a practical absurdity to say that they | can be regarded as society formen that they shouldbe | treated as an inferior sort of animals, &c., &o.

Private letters from the thea- tre of war are said to have added to the anxiety of the market. Accounts from Rome. too, are of no very encouraging character as regards the eauso of independence, add ing to the probability of an intervention. ‘Three of the railways have this week had much doing in them, whilst all the rest have reinained nearly sta: tionary, ‘They are the Lyons, Orleans, and North A week ogo, there was much uncertainty as to the Lyons; but as the treaty was made at 7 50 of rente agreed 01 for the shares, subject only to the approbation of the Astembly, this seemed 60 certain an arrangement, and the rate agreed on giving w certain benefit to the hold- hat this line rose rapidly, and much business waa in it, ‘The Orleans, it seems, has had its loan all readily subscribed for; and this, and the removal of the sequestration, which was in fact only a means of pre- serving it from the injuries of the operatives, who had struck, and threatened to break up the rails, and stop the traffic, caused in one Boursea rise from 670 to 709. ‘The North has also been much in request.

A number of petitions were presented, Count De MontaLemnent paesented a petition from the Patriarch of Jerusalem, praying the French Repub- lie to take under its protection the Holy Sepulehre. ‘The order of the day was the report of the committee appointed to examine into the circumstances conneot- | ed with the insurrection of Juue,and the invasion of | the Assembly in May. | M. Bavenanr, emidst the deepest silence, ascended | tee tribune. He eommencedby reading the minutes of the sitting of the Assembly on the day on which the | committee was appeinted. The committee waa toex- amine into the circumstances of the two events mon- tioned above, beingentrusted with full power to call before it all persons that were likely to throw light om the matter. but without having a judicial character, — ‘The Assembly, the report went on to say, had evident- ly considered that the events of June and May might be connected ; and in consequence, had entrusted the committee with very extensive powers, eThe fullest in- Festixations had been entered into, and the committee had in general met with the necessary co-operation from the persons whom it had called before it. Some of the witnerres had, however, to keep back part of their information, and others had appeared to be under the impression of the most extreme terror, owing to the dreadful events of June. Henceforward the committee hoped that no further collision would | take place, as the causes which had led to the in- surrection of June seemed to be removed. The report then alludes to the attack of May 15, and praises the Assembly and the'government for the mode- ration which |they showed after that dreadful invasion, ‘The two evente, that of May and that of June, agreed in being directed against the National Assembly but they differed in this, that the firet emanated from the Yocialist and communist parties, aud was, in fect, of a political character; whereas that of June had its origiu in the sittings of the Luxembourg. The clabs, the discourses, even the proper names connected with the Luxembourg were mostly connected with the {n- surrection of June, The committee had not found any proofs of sums of money being generally distri- buted for » dynastic purpore. ‘Tho events of June Were undoubtedly connected together, though not so intimately as might be supposed. The committee, in its investigation, had taken as its starting point the day when the Assembly met in the face of the country. ‘The report declared that the events must remotely be traced back to the mistaken views of some of the pro- visional government, with respect to the rea | of the country (agitation) ; curtain of their ac! of such @ nature a to produce 1 catastrophe of t most serious character [renewed agitation).
