IRELAND. 
The south-west of this fine, but unhappy, 
country, has continued since our last the 
same unhappy theatre of massacres, de- 
vastation, and burnings. A late Beifast 
paper states something like the root from 
which has shot out the various branches of 
discontent. “What,” asks the editor, 
“is the present state of the peasantry 
the south of Ireland? His daily wages are 
5d.; his family average from three to five— 
and out of this 5d. a-day he is to support 
that family, pay his rent and his tithe!” 
The government of Ireland have been 
armed with extraordinary powers, but not 
asyllable has yet transpired of any attempt 
to quell the insurrection by redressing the 
grievances of the people. Thus far the 
administration of the Marquis Wellesley 
has disappointed the world. Mr. Goul- 
burn tells us, that the government are as 
yet only enquiring about the tything sys- 
tem, and that the troubles in the districts 
so interrupt the enquiries, as to render it 
uncertain whether, in that respect, any 
legislative measure can be adopted this ses- 
sion! Such facts would be incredible if 
they did not transpire in the parliamentary 
debates of the 24th, On that day, also, 
Sir John Newport moved for an address, 
urging conciliatory measures, in which he 
referred the grievances to absentee land- 
4Yords, because unable to pay the taxes; 
to tythes, and their oppressive collection ; 
and to the exclusion of Catholics from the 
Constitution. Mr. Goulburn moved the 
previous question, on the ground that the 
motion was a censure on the Marquis 
‘Wellesley, and that anxious attention is 
paid to the subject ; and, after some debate, 
Sir John’s motion was negatived without a 
division. 
The Albion, an American packet from 
New York to Liverpool, with 17 male and 
15 female passengers, was lately lost in 
Garrets-town Bay, when the whole were 
lost, except one passenger and a few of 
the crew.

Considerable and destructive eruptions 
of Vesuvius and Heckla have taken place 
this winter, of which the correct and sci- 
entific details have not yet reached Eng- 
land. They were accompanied by earth- 
quakes, one of which was felt at consider- 
able distances. 
It is reported ‘and believed that the 
Turks have defeated a Greek squadron, 
Ali Pacha has been beheaded, or has fled 
in disguise ; but the Turkish government, 
anxious to give credence to his death, have 
triumphantly exhibited a head, as his, on 
the gates of the Seraglio. His successor 
at Janina has been avenging the Turkish 
government on the people, and especially 
on the Grecks, by unparalleled barbatities. 
These wretched people, with the good 
wishes of all Europe, are, we fear, to be 
abandoned to their remorseless tyrants.
