DUBLIN, February 10.

resume their deliberations. The eyes of this kingdom and of Great Britain, nay of all Europe are now upon them, highly interested on the sequel of proceedings began with such decided spirit of liberty and patriotism, as to become the theme of modern politics, and must in future times form one of the most conspicuous pages in history, if the patriotick flame in our Senate be not like that of the meteor, whose instant brightness dazzles, yet whose beam for want of duration has neither warmth nor vigour. The monster of usurped dominion has been stunned by the first blow; succeeding strokes must put an eternal period to its existence.

The attempt made yesterday by Administration in the House of Commons, was of such a nature, that while it reflected in the grossest manner, on the understanding of that august assembly, exhibited a scene of the shallowest politics, that ever disgraced the Councils of this or any other country. Our Irish financier with all that precious shew of collected gravity, which characterizes him, rose, to acquaint the House, of the necessity there was to open the Committee of Supply, to give operation to the trade laws, by originating and reviving money bills. Was there a member in the House who heard him? Is there a man in the kingdom, who shall hear it, so stupid, as not to see through the flimsy scheme, under pretence of commercial regulations, the great object of government, the money bills were to be passed, and then adieu to the scheme of national retrenchment, the Irish Declaratory Act, the Bill of Rights, the repeal of Poyning's Law, &c. A prorogation cuts off the session. So much for Buckingham.
