Mr. O'Connell has published a long letter to Mr. Walter

Savage Landor, in reply to one addressed to him by that gentleman with the view to dissuade agitation for a repeal of the Union ; the Irish Parlia- ment, Mr. Landor said, having been the most profligate of all public bodies. O'Connell's letter commences with a truly Hibernian flourish of poetry and verbiage, concluding with a pleasant specimen of the bathos.

" 'Co WALTER sAeMIE LANnoR, Foe.

In replying to the " matters" of Mr. Landor's letter, Mr. O'Con- nell is at pains to retort the profligacy of Eng/is/mien, both in Parlia- ment and on the bitch of' justice, and to exalt the pat:iotisui of the minority who resisted the Uilion in the last Irish Parliament. He de- scribes the means by %%Lich the Union was effected-

" You mmiy. imagine that men of the rank of !Members of Parliament were not likely to be intimidated by these nwans; but in Ireland at that period, no rank, no station, no respectability, could protect the victim of despotic lower : it was It reign or terror.

Replying to some of Mr. Landor's suggestions fur improving Ire- land— "There is much matter for serious thought and statesmatiliko comm 'el in your plait of entiAtatien, and in you notion of the dist:that mm of the Crown lands. But it has been (teemed more flippant to cut short all wiser schemes, in order to ding upon iii a Poor.hw---to sink our property in workhouses, and to tnake its deli by causing us to support, with menet., lltie5S09 or our poor, at the expense or an establishmeut, the cast of which wOult1 pr.tilue most valuable reSlIlld, if employed in the mutter yoe suggest- in ilk railroads. tout in other useful works.

Bating the prose run mad at the opening, this is a good " Repeal" letter, and written with more energy than any thing that has appeared from Mr. O'Connell's pen for a long while.
