London, Thursday, Decembe...
Not mmaiy days ago, we cautioiled the piublic against the dirty tricks of Irisli Orange iincendiarics, for the excite, mnelit of a No-Pcprry panic. Here is onc of their arti- flees. A London paper, little known here, but sent,:like other damaged gootls, for sale in a lcss discriminating mnarket, having been duly primed from Dublin, let off the grave apd circumstantial history, that Lord FOztiris a General officer of high ftaniding and repute, had come up from the county of Longford to the Phoenix-park, to represent to tie LORD LIEUTENANT, that thfe Pro- testants of his Lordship's vicinity were in a most pe- rilous condition, and the country on the point of openl rebellion. The Orange chxronicle added, that a Privv Council "'liad sat to a very late hour the night lie- fore, to concert the measures necessary to meet the ap. "proaching cris_s '" and that a proclamation was. then actually (ahnost three weeks ago) " printing," the purpose of whiclh was, to put down the Catholic Association. Now, to show how carefutly the web of wicked'nonsense was. prepared, we know that for somne days before the above statemrent made its appearance, tite Dublin alarmists were boasting every where, that Lord FoRs Es had joined the OrKange party, and that his eyes were at last effectually opened to the da6ger which threatened the Governmrent. This report (and no wonder) made a sharp sensation, from the known. character of Lord FonuEs for firmness, libe- rality,.and good sense. Well-the best of the story is, that Lord FORBES never came to Dublin at all-never made any representation to the LOaD LIEUTENANT as to the danger to be feared from the Catholics: andl so far from having joined the Orange faction, holds them in utter antipathy. His Lordship wrote to the Dublin Evening Mail to disavow the gross falsehood, which was likewise contradicted in the Dublin Evening Post of the 7th instant. So industriously, however, has thc poison been administered, that it is still in partial circulatian at this side of the water,which induces us to take thus miich trouble to- wards exposing it. We may add, by vay of commentary on the prevailingdisposition tofrighten people out of theirsenses bv monstrous tgles of disalfection and conspiraoy through- out Ireldnid, that 1lard-Chaicellor MANNERS, reputedb to be of an.-Oraiij spidit -Anost as highly rectified as that of Mr. SAURIN himself,.hap just gone down to a succession of shooting Rarties, andriisted1 his pereon in the midst of the very districts alleged 4't5emost ripe for rebellion ! His Lordship mustjtherefoie, be well convinced thattheCatholic peasantry-ire the most forgiving Christians or the most impotent enemies on cayth;-a good argument why ie should not hate them: in the onie case, nor fear them greatly in the other,-why Lord Chancellor MANNE aS, at least, cannot be sincerely, both an alarmist and an Orangeman.
