Afairs tn Ireland. Livenroon, Saturday, Nov 25—11, A. M. A steamer which left Dublin at « late hour yesterday. bes just reeched the harbor By her arrival weare in receipt of our correrpondent's letter, as well a3 a com munication from our epeolal reporter, who is attending {he argument on the writ of error brought by the Sta prisoners, who were convicted of high treason at Clonmel. In ovr communication sent by the Britanuia, on this day se’nnight,we sent you a brief analysis of the grounds on which the counsel for the prisoners appeal agains, the judgment of the commissioners at Clonmel. Thg case has been very ably argued on behalf of the prison ers; and as far oslegal argument, and the principles of common sense are concerned, the case, so far as Mr O'Brien and his unfortunate colleagues are concerned, is clearly in their favor; but it is too much to expectthat tbe Judges will reverse their own decision, two of them being onthe epecial commission, namely—ths Chief Juetice and Judge Moore. Yesterday, Mr. Napier, hay- ing on the previous day spoken at great length, and with all that ability and legal acumen for which he is so distinguished, on behalf of Mr, Mo- anus, and Sir Coleman O'Loghlen on the part of Mr. Meagher, Mr. Butt addressed the court on behalf of Mr. O’ Donobue, and, as usual, displayed transcendant powers; and if anything were wanted to complete the conviction of their lordehips that the prisoners had been denied the privileges and the rights which the law conferred upon them, as persons charged with t highest offence known to the constitution of the oou: try, it was supplied by Mr. Butt's powerful address, A feeble reply was made on the part of the crown: after which the judzes took till the beginning of next term to consider how they will dispore of the case, It is not, however, likely that they wii give the prisoners the bevefit of their objections, and reverse the sen- tence of the court below. We are, however, of oplnion that probably the House of Lords would take a more favorable view of the case than the interested party, who will ute every exertion to prop up what now ap- pears an erroneous couree, Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy, it is eaid. bas caused the Attorney General no smali egree of uneasiness and anxiety by tl he hes sent both to the High Sheriff of Dublin county a himself. The former he warns from packin, as he alleges was done in the case of Mr. Mite! Mr. Martin, and the latter he castigates in a most cruel manner for the conduct be pursued in reference tothe cballenging of jurors in these two trials. The letters have create! a profound sensation. and show that egainet Mr. Dufly the Attorney General is not to act with partiatiiy or unfairness, as he is prepared to | reeist and crush the foul and unholy attempt of swind ling him out of bis liberty by the infamous system of | jury packing. A meeting of the citizens of Dublin has taken place to adopt some steps to prevent any unfair advantage sgainst Mr. Duffy being taken; another on the same subject is to be held in a day or two. The Rumored Changes tn the English Ministry.

The steamship Canada arrived at this port yee- terday, at an early hour, bringing us_one week’s later intelligence from the o!d world. The continent of Europe is, onthe whole, ina state of quiescence; but it isa repose which can- not, in the nature of things, be lasting; fer the ball of democracy has been put in motion, and will, sooner or later, traverse the whole of that part of the world. This remark applies with great force toGermany. An ominous silence reigas through- out the whole of that country. Berlin occupies a position of passive resistance ; Vienna is still in astate of siege; but almost every town 1s ready to imitate those cities inthe course which they pureued, and emulate the deeds which brought them to the condition which they are now in.— Meantime, in Vienna the work of death goes en, Messenhauser, the commandant of Vienna, has been shot by order of the heartless Windischgratz, the Emperor’s minion, who, with an atrocity that has seldom been equalled, refused to suspend the execution of the sentence of death until the Emperor's reply to a petition to spare his life could be received. Other illustrious mar- tyre have, in a similar way, forfeited their lives in the cause which they undertook ; but as sure as they have fallen, so sure will their deaths be avenged, and so sure will the des- pot he the nearer to his own downfall. In Berlin the Assembly maintains the position which it oc- cupied et the previous dates. The members have been frequently dispersed by the military, but succeeded in passing a resolution prohibiting the collection und payment of taxes. This isa | highly important movement, inasmuch @ it re- duces the powers that be to an extremity which they are ally prepared to meet, and will ‘cud, sooner or later, if persisted in, to unite the whole of Ger- Many in one grand democratic offensive and de- fensive confederacy. The excitement in France, growing out of the near approach of the presidential election, 1s on the increase, and will probably continue so until that great event shall have taken place. The friends of Cavaignac are doing their utmost to in- fluence the country in his favor and secure his election; but from present appearances, they will not succeed in overthrowing the great influence which Prince Louis Napoleon possesses over the minds of the masses. As the day of election gets nearer, the Prinve’s influence seems to aug- ment, and his election to the presidency seems more probable than ever. It was considered at one time that Lamartine would not be a candidate; but he is—making three in the field for the office of President. This will add still further to Napo- leon’s chances, and will probably be the means of electing him. The disclosures which have been made of Cavaignac’s-conduct in the movements which led to the terrible revolution of June, have leesened him very much in the estimation of his countrymen, and have proportionably augmented the chances of Napoleon. At present it would seem that every day’s changes in France favored the probability of Napoleon’s election, and we have no doubt that that individual will be the first President of the French republic. Fears are entertained that if the, Prince be elevated 10 that high office, he will seek to be emperor at no éistant day, and follow as near ascan be the example of his illustrious relative in times past ; | but we think without good foundation. Thus tar, at al] events, the prince has shown himself to be a man of very ordinary ability, and were it not for the halo of glory attached to his name, we ques- tion very much if he ever would have been referred ‘om connection with the presidency. His elec- 1on will, undoubtedly, favor the progress of re- publicanism im Europe; and as long as universal suffrage prevails in France, we do not think he will have it in his power to cause much injury to that country. We are extremely desirous to see the election terminated; for if that event were over, | peeceably and quietly, we think the French repub- lie would be safe, and that every year afterwards would witness the establishment of a similar form of government by the people of other countries, until the whole of Europe would be a great family of republics, and in the enjoyment vf all the rights, privileges, and blessings which self-government confers on mankind—such as we see and expe- rience in the Uvited States. As soon as this elec- tion shall have taken place, the democrats of Ger- many will be animated with new hopes, and be fortified with renewed strength. Let Germany and France be republics, and the rest of Europe will soon fall into the ranks. From Ireland there 1s nothing very apecial.— Emigration 1s taking off all who are able to leave ite shores, and fever and famine threaten to com- mit their ravages on those who remain. The con- viction of Martin has been affirmed, on appeal to the judges ; and preparations were being made, at the dote of the last aecounts, to make a final appeal to the House of Lords. [is case assumes a double importance, from the fact that the grounds on which he made his rppeal are the same as those relied upon by Smith O'Brien and others, fora reversal of the judgment passed upon them at the epecial commission.
