the kingston chronicle soffjftfov ottober 15 18si the latest dates from europe are to the stith draught by the favourite of greenock lo quebec tbey furnish nothing material in ad dition to the intelligence conveyed by the ns- pdifon of the 23d august with which our co lumns arc this day supplied no very characteristic feature of russian per- everence appears in the polish warfare from which it may with some justice be inferred that the former arc awaiting the interference of the allied powers cither in the way of amicable ad justment or hostile interposition the main bo dy of the russian army however were march ing upon warsaw and then in all probability polish independence may be established either by thesword of the brave or the councils of the great on the subject of parliamentary intelligence we cannot furnish our readers with the least flat tering expectation that the question which agi tates europe zt this moment by the diversity of opinion that pervades all classes of the commu nity and which has checked in the house of commons the ardour that in its earlier stages existed amongst the auvocatcs of reform is likely to arrive at any probability of a successful conclusion the ministers have been defeated by a motion that eventually will nullify the whole system and to this they have submitted notwith- etanding their positive and frequently expressed intention of m rising or falling with their idol such a violation of their boasted adherence may at first sight appear immaterial and trifling but the public anxiety is stretched to the highest pilch of distrustand impatience begins to evince itself amongst those whose interests are set a aide in the agitation of this one topic the commercial and agricultural prospects of great britain are paralized while the voice of the irish fwtf ifr vf r 4 and support under their persecutions drowned by the clamour and confusion of parliamentary tumult and discord we confess that however ardent our expectations might have been a month past on the success of the bill we are now dis posed to consider lord chandoias amendment as an absolute defeat to the measure and that if even it should come under discussion again it must emanate from ministers more consistent and we would add more capable than the pre sent cabinet is composed of notices of amend ments to th number of 31 are yet standing for discussion the irish papers announce the death of the archbishop of dublin the brightest literary or nament of the episcopal bench his grace had been long labouring under mental aberration occasioned by that

inferiors while he exercised the most obsequious deference to his superiors his mind was in everlasting ope ration- spiritu ally politically and controversially engaged till at length the barriers of
