By letters received here to day from England we have advice, that the Irish parliament has declared their right of forming and passing their own laws, independent of the British parliament; also, that 16,000 of the volunteers, from different parts of the country, had marched into Dublin, and obliged what regular troops were there (consisting of two regiments of foot and one of horse) to go out of town and take their quarters in the country, being determined to support the parliament in their resolutions. This I do not doubt, having, during my stay in that country, a perfect knowledge of the sentiments of a great number of the volunteers, who are composed of the best men in the country.
