A letter from ,MeMna, dated Des. 24, tBo6Jays, " The whok of the force which failed from England for this Mend, In September laft, has arrived here to perfeet fafety. Our force, which at prefent amounts to so,coco men, is itationediprinci pally along the emit, from Mdazzo to Syraeufe ; but the princi pal part of it is quartered at Melazzo, and hs neighbourhood.— Meffina is the head quarters of the army. The Guards are fta tioned at Catania, Augutta, and Syraeufe. The French in Cala bria made a dennoaftration a few nights ago, of approaching Reg gio, but they hive time retired, and it is now fuppofed to have been only a feint. " bac mum 30 ...The lower part of Calabria is Rill free from the French, and we have a garrifon at Scylla and Reggio.

CATHOLIC MERTINC..—The Catholic Body, purfuant to adjournment, met on Tuefday IA at the Rotunda, Dublin. The Committee appointed for that purpofe prefented the petition, which, having been approved of by the Affembly, Mr. Butte moved that a deputation, confining of the molt refpettable of the Catholics, in rank and fortune, be appointed to condor& the affairs of the Body in London, and to hand the petition to Mr. Grattan, fur the purpofe .uf having it prefented to the Houfe of Commons. After a few obfervations from Mr. O'Goastaia, Mr. DCUMGOOD, Mr. OiCoNamt, and Mr. KEOGH', Mr. MAHON hinted that a Delegation of but one, and that one the Noble Chaitman, would probably anfwer the views of all parties, and be liable to none of the objeltions already Rated ; the idea was eagerly feized by Mr. Rsocu, who faid, that if reduced to the form of a motion, he would fecond it. Mr. MAHON then moved, that the Catholic Petition be tranfmitted to Mr. Grattan by Lord Fingal, for the purpofe of being laid before Parliament this Salon. The motion was feconded by Mr. Ksoca, and carried unanimoufly. 'Saturday arrived New York Papers of the 22d of January.

This was objened to by the Plaintiff, who Rated that the coach was already full. After they had gone about five miles, the coach was overfet, by die wheel breaking in piecee, and the Plaintiff was fo preffed ict the fall, that his collar bone was broken, and he was, in confiquence of this accident, confined to his bed for fame wee::, and under the care of a furgeon, who was produced as a withers in Court, and Rated that the Plaintiff had received much injury.

This aelion was brought to recover 251. for wages due to the Plaintiff, who had ferved on board the Cruizer twelve months. Ara,- ' des of agreement bad been entered into, which fpe cified, that after the expiration of three months the Plaintiff might quit the Cruizer, if in an Englith port, provided he 4 4 left the veffel in fafety," of which the Captain was to be the judge. After a long and un fuccefsful cruize, the veffel arrived in the road-ftead of Yarmouth, where the defendant difcharged the gunner, boatfwain, carpenter, ite. and then went on &ore. During his abfence, the defendant applied to the Prize Mailer for his difcharge, which being re futed, he quitted the fhip, alledging that he had ful filled his contra& Other feamen, fimilaily circum flanced, left the veffel at the fame time. • The plain tie's demand was refilled, on the ground that he had not, according to his agreement, left the Cruizer in fafety ; and to prove this affertion, feveral Captains of veffels were called ; but their evidence did not fubflantiate that fat, and merely went to Phew, that the number of hands left on board were not fufficient Ito navigate a veffel of her fize and tonnage. Not long after, the Cruizer left Yarmouth, and, after a pleafant voyage, arrived fafe in the River Thames. Mr. Serjeant Coccus laid, that the conchs& of the defendant, in going on fhore, fully evinced that he left the Cruizer in fafety. It could not be fuppofed, for a moment, that the Commander of a veffel would quit his Ration, if he apprehended any danger ; in deed, the difmiffal of the boatfwain, carpenter, &c. was another convincing proof that there exifted none. The Learned Judge, in addreffing the Jury, ob ferved, that the quettion for their confideration was —Did the plaintiff leave the Cruizer in fafety ? There could be no doubt as to the fulfilment of the other part of the engagement, for it was acknow ledged that he had been on board twelve months.— The agreement which exiled between the plaintiff and defendant, appeared to him molt extraordinary, as it gave abfolute power to the Captain, and no power at all to the plaintiff; and yet, in the fame fentence, Rates, that at the expiration of three months, the plaintiff might quit the Cruizer, if in an Englifb port, provided he left the veffel in fakty, of which the defendant w as t o b e t h e j u d ge.
