' In short, since the established church has declared war against the church of the people, it was the duty of the latter to announce the commencement of a practical resistance against the common enemy.” The Eveniag Mud, a high ory torgan, expresses itself upon the subject with a consideration and mo- dération little to be expected from such a quarter. After some general remarks upon the papal uggres- sen ond its ministerial antidote, the Mul thus pro- coeds :— » The fact is, Ireland has been so long the victim of neglect and ill treatment in various ways, and, among others, in the extent to which the doings of the Pope and his minions have been encouraged, that a more deter- mined and consistent government than’ that now in of- fice is required to introduce a change in this respect. The highest social position has been accorded to the Po- pish prelates in this country by the government, and that even in presence of the Sovereign. Here, in defiance of the somewhat stringent provisions of the Kelief Act of 1820, the papal ecclesiastics assume the titles of the pre- lates of the established church; but they do this with confidence in the consideration of the Attorney General of the day to allow them to violate the law without mo- lestation. Violation of the law can, however, scarcely be justified by precedent. Nay, more. when the slightest movement has beech made on the other ste of the ehan- nel to carry into operation what has been so long prac- tised here. the whole population seem, for the time, to be frightened out of its propriety; ‘and now it is msinuated that it is only in E: such pretensions ure to be re- pelled, in Ireland they may be continued with mpunity.”” The Tenant League is extending its gigantic form over the whole country, and recruits are hourly hastening to its standard from every city, town, village, and hamlet. Although assassination and incendiarism are dis- appearing, still midnight legislators continue prow!- formed. ‘The two chiefs cannot build up an adminis- tration.

Ilis lordship promises to eonsider the objectionable clauses inthe * i astical Titles” bill, with a view to their being mo- ified so as to meet the approval of “such moderate men as Arch Bishop Murray, of Dublin.” But with all this bonied phraseology,| fear his lordship’s term ef office, even though he succeed in again construct- ing a government, will be of short duration. But the noble lord has an eye to that, for in his speech of Friday last, he lays open his 0) yn in reference to the extension of the Keform bill, and states that as there must be a general election in °58, he considers 62 as the very extreme point to which a legislative enactment on that subject ought, consistently, to be deferred. Lord Stanly’s conduct at the present 3 ure, is worthy a great statesman, and furnishes ‘ brilliant contrast to the tergiversation of his noble eompeer, Lord John Russell. Were Lord Stanly to form a government, it would be based on a trinity ‘ef intelligence ; it would have science, philosophy and theclogy—representing cgusistent principle, wise legislation, and integral church government, M. de Lacour, and his reapect for the treaties of Vienna, as well as his desire to do everything in his power to be agreeable to the French republic and to its President. But these declarations, made in a tone of the greatest cordiality,do not in any way change the character and real bearing of the reply. MANIFESTO OF THE KING OF WURLEMBERG. ‘The following is the text of aletter ofthe King of ‘Wurtemberg to Prince Schwarzenberg, on the con- ferences at Dresden, to which many allusions have recently been made in the German journals: — * Your Higuxess—From the report of my Pleni- potentiary in Dresden, I perceive that you decidedly reject the idea of calling into existence a representa- tion of the collective nation by the side of the chief executive power of the Bund, which is proposed to be newly established. That I sincerely regret this intelligence, even in this open declaration, your highness will think quite natural, from my well- known freedom of expression. For my own part, I have always, before as well ay ¢ the lamentable events of 1348, believed that a reform of the act of confederation, and especially a revision of the thit- teenth article, was unavoidable. The last, in par- ticular, I regard as the true palladium and the ouly real test of the value of all we may negotiate and resolve colle iy in Dresden. But if that article is to be revised ina manner not in arrear of the age and the moral necessities of the nation, then we. must extend the hitherto existing representation of the States of the federal compact as a whole, and bring together the divided, barren, and confused powers of the different chambers into one united upper national Parliament. Only with such a united Parliament, according to my conviction, will it be possible to establish a generally-respected eondueting and influencing it, Were his Lordship lly-respe a i lato y to construet a cabinet, it should be one of this » and las central power, the activity, force, | ing over the rural districts, visiting dwellings, and | Without stripping Shakspeare of half the depth and | fore, deeply as | am already obliged to you, | must | the occasion of the performance of his symphony and, as in the” present state of parties, he influeuee of which will be in vain sought conpaling the inhabitants, on pain of death, to | ichness of his descriptions.
