Ireland.-- Considerable excitement
prevails in Philadelphia, amonr the
mends of Ireland, in consequence of the
bloody measures about to be adopted by
the British government in relation to that
oppressed country. They have held
luge and respectable public meetings;
revived the Society of Friends of Ireland
in that city; resolved to present an ad
dress to the people of Ireland, strongly
expressive of their condolence and heart
fell sympathy with them on the oppres
sive system to which they are to be sub
jected, and their determination to do
whatever can be done, to aid and sustain
them, without a violation of their duties
as citizens of the United States; and also
to address the friends of freedom in
Great Britain and Ireland, conjuring
them to strain every nerve to procure, as
early as possible, a repeal of the odious
law in question; and expressing their op
probation of the wisdom, prudence and
perseverance, with which the illustrious
O'Connell and his patriotic associates
have labored for a peaceful restoration of
the rights and liberties of their coun

Havre, March 24. The cstafette

having taken 600 prisoners, in a sortie
from Oporto and that the Egyptian ar

on Constantinople. Canning's negocia

France against Miguel. The eternal
Dutch and Belgian question is still un
settled. The question of abolishing negro sla
very in the colonies of France, has been
opened in the French journals, and
touched in the Chambers. It is not im
probable that the example of Great Bri
tain, on this subject, whatever it may be,
will bo followed in France. The French
ministry have passed a bill, that places
all free people of color upon a footing of
political equality with the whites.

hair which is as knotty as the negro's usually is,
has long lips, large feet and long toes, has a down
look when spoken to, had on when he went off
