The private letters from Dublin give the most alarming account of the ferment in that country. The counties were all to be assembled for the purpose of addressing the Lord Lieutenant on the present dangerous situation of public affairs; and it is generally believed that the Noble Earl will not think it safe to quit the country in the present temper of men's minds, until his successor shall arrive. The rumour was, that Mr. Windham had written a most pressing letter to his Lordship, beseeching him to continue, and to wait the result of the explanations that would yet be attempted. This the noble Earl certainly will not do; but it is probable he may postpone his return beyond the 8th inst.
