Vrinrc'Utvt the General Office) Whitehall London Jan 1 Sir I have received the communication which has been made to me by the direction of a meeting at Birmingham of the Dissenting deputies over which you appear to have pre sided I 1 cannot believe that either the sentiments embodied in the resolutions of that meeting or the language in which those sentiments are conveyed will meet with the concur rence and approbation of the general body of the Dissenters of this country '1 hat body is I apprehend much too enlightened and too just to sanction such a principle as this that supposing the Ministers of theCiown should propose to parliament mea sures for the relief from grievances (measures which appear in the opinion of the meeting to be es ential to the Iran quillity of the still those measures ought to be re jected at ome by the representatives of the people as un worthy of acceptance however complete the relief and how ever satisfactory the mode of effecting it It would not be becoming in me to notice with any feel ings of irritation or intemperance the expressions in which the sentiments of the meeting over which you presided are conveyed Neither those sentiments nor those expressions will affect the course which it is my intention to pursue nor abate in the slightest degree my desire to consider in a spirit of con ciliation and peace the redress of any real grievance

suppose that if and his tail were out of the way agitation would immediately cease and Connaught be as tranquil as Rutland But agitation was as rife in Ireland before existed as it is at this moment and it will continue to be as prevalent after he is gone unless the cir c*mstances under which the country is placed be totally changed O'Connell has not made agitation but agitation has made him Though to post were to bring nn account that he had been shot in a tithe affray or had his brains beat out in an election squabble it would riot make the slightest difference in the state of Ireland The causes and sources of agitation lie in the policy on which all go vernments have acted towards Ireland for a century past and until that policy be totally changed and the government be administered not for the exclusive advantage and emolu ment of the rich and the great but for that of the mass of the people civil war and bloodshed will continue to be the order of the day It is vain to think of putting down agitation by coercive laws We might as well think that starving peasant whose last pig or potato has been carried off by the tithe proctors is to blunt the Hungary edge of appetite by mere imagination of a feast" When the church of England in Ireland has been cut down and remodelled when parlia ment has given moderate but adequate stipends to he Ca tholic clergy and when it has interposed to protect the pea santty and cottiers from the rapacity mid caprice of land lords and from the chances of dying in consonance with the so called philosophy of Lord Brougham like houseless cast off dogs in the high when we say parliament has done these things agitation will cense and it should not arid will no cease one moment sooner TORY INTERERENCE TO PREVENT THE PEOPLE

they ought to go and stated that what they would hear at Arles would not be good" ns hr Mr understood Lalor and Cassidy were to he there and finally he swore like nny Squireen by his that if any of those in his employment remained for he meeting a shilling of hi money they should never handle This is mi admira ble illustration it the mock liberality of this stultified Sim nCen nd proves moat
