We are for one week without any exciting intelligence from
Ireland. The continued formation of Brunswick Clubs, and the reiterated assurances of the orators that they are to be true and faithful champions of the Church, become monotonous in the narra- tion; but they have given rise in the mean time to a wild specula- tion by O'CONNELL as to the ulterior views of the excessive zealots.
SECRET OBJECTS OF TOE BRUNSWICKERS.—I am seriously of opinion that the 13ruitswickers are preparing for the battle ; and I feel it to be my duty to disclose to the country the secret of the origin of those Clubs both in England and Ireland. It is perfectly well known that their founders boast that the Duke of Cumberland is the head of those Clubs. It is reported that the King is dangerously ill—much worse than a doltish Administration will permit the country to know. I never can speak of the sufferings of humanity without commiseration; and I do not feel the less commiseration, because the object of it is a man of exalted station, long and dearly beloved by the people of Ireland. The Duke of Clarence, the next heir to the Throne, is reported also to be in bad health. I trust in God those rumours are exaggerated ; but still I fear there is sufficient truth in them to induce a conspiracy to be founded, calculating upon the demise of this deservedly popular Prince. The Princess Victoria is the next in succession to the Throne; and ii we arc to judge of what, she will he by the character of that most estimable woman, her mother, the Duchess of Kent, whom the breath of calumny has never tainted, we have every reason to hope that she will fulfil the warmest expectations of time nation. This young Princess, then, will be the legitimate successor to the throne. The Brunswickers have openly avowed that they are tired of the constitutional control of a Parliament in carrying on the government of the country, as it requires more abilities and virtues than they possess to attain, without great difficulties, power and distinction in the State. The simplicity of despotism is congenial to those who are destitute of ta- lents and acquirements. It has been more than insinuated, thttt if the Princess Victoria does not marry the Prince George of Cumberland, she shall nem'er ascend to the Throne of Britain. In the struggle to frustrate her suc- cession, that despotism so much beloved by the Brunswickers may, it is hoped, be established. This is what is contemplated by the Brunswick Clubs, but I do not charge the Duke of Cumberland with being a party in the conspiracy. Ireland, always faithful to her Sovereign, will main- tain the lineal succession to the throne. That quarrel will be one which my conscience will approve ; and then 1, who am the advocate of peace, would be foremost in vindicating time rights of the Sovereign and of the constitution. All Ireland would unite with one heart and one hand in the glorious struggle ; and then the brave Tipperary men, no longer forbidden to take the field, would find an honest and a loyal incentive to the fight : in a cause sanctioned by right and justice, they would form an irresistible phalanx, and in the impetuosity of their native courage, uni- ted, ardent, and resolved, they would support the rights of the throne, and drive the traitorous Brunswickers into the sea.—Dublin Weekly Register.
Lord Ebring-ton has sent 201. to the Catholic Rent, and desired to be enrolled as a member of the Association. Even from be- yond the ocean the Catholic tribute flows in : a " Society of the Friends of Ireland in Canada" has-been formed in Montreal, to raise money for the Association and " the noble cause of civil and religious liberty."
