These meetings were numerously attended by Protestant Gentlemen. The Catholics of Louth are to meet in a few days. A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning. It will be seen from the following article that there are still stro.T grounds for supposing tha; Russia and France are preparing for hostilities : HELIGOLAND, SEPTEMBER S. Nothing particular has transpired here for some time. We very rarely have any communication with the opposite coast. Those who have the best connec tions on the Continent, are most of them without any advices from their friends and even relations for six months. The latest accounts mention the circum stance of French troops continuing to march towards the frontiers of Poland, and statio that bullock drivers with other appurtenaucts belonging to a great camp establishment, lately moved through Saxony. &me of the latest advices from Lord WsLuvo- TQN's Ilad-quarters, state, that bis Lordship was blr)cl:ading Ciudad Rodiigo, preparatory to his be_ sieging it, and that if the enemy attempted minter. rupt this operaticn a general action might be expec. ted before the close of the autumn. Saturday two ships arrived from Ostend with let ters to the 6th instant, and conveying some licences which are likely to be extremely advantageous to the parties concerned, as they comprehend no clause re.' quiring that the returned cargo should consist of wines, brandies and silks, of equal value with the commodities exported. A Gentleman who has arrived at Plymouth from New York, after a passage-of 26 days, reports, that it was generally believed at New York, that the dif ferences with this country would be accommodated, and a Minister immediately appointed to proceed to this country. Several persons had been named, among whom were Mr. RANDOLPH and Mr. EUSTACE. The former, it was supposed, would be the new Mi nister. It was publicly stated on Saturday, and seemingly from authority, that, at the Council held on Friday, at which the PRINCE REGENT presided, it was deter mined " to issue an Order of Council, prohibiting the entrance of American vessels into British ports, except those laden with wheat or flour, .which vessels were also to carry back a freight of the produce of this country or her colonies." This was stated to be a measure retaliatoryon the Non-intercourse system of the American Government. The Gazette of Satur day, however, conntined no Order in Council to the above effect, hut an Order grounded on an Aet of the 46th of his Majesty, intituled " An Act for au thorising his Majesty in Council to allow, during the present war, and six weeks after the ratification of a definitive treaty of peace, the importation and expor tation of certain goods and commodities in neutral ships, into and from his Majesty's territories in the West liKlies and Continent of South America." By virtue of this Act, Orders in Council have been tnade at diffezent periods, permitting the importation into the te:titories above-mentioned of certain articles, goods, and commodities specified, for the most part the products of the United States, or of the fisheries of the same ; but by this new Order, it is directed, that after the let of December, no importation of the undermentioned articles shall take place into any of our West India islands, " in which there shall not be, at the time when such articles arc brought for impor tation, the following duties on such articles, being of the growth or produce of the United States of Ame rica; namely, Sterling Money.

A detachment of the York Light Infantry Volun teers, consisting of 20u rank and file, embarked last week at Portsmouth, to join their regiment in the West Indies. watchful of the present, and with an illuminated W l * ticipation of the future. It is the divine philosophy of social happi neva, but not the vain philosophy of schools—not e wild and theoretic spirit of chenge—doulniiil in its motive and dangerous to its effect; but a steady and enlightened wish to better the condition of mankind, and te adept human maxims to human nature. Let us not then, mistaking power for right and prejudice for reason, accuse others of a giddy love of new principles, and yet preserve ourselves a more dangerous and obsti nate attachment to old ones: the truly loyal is t e alone who would give to Catholics Emancipatiil, be ' cause he not alone professes to support the Constitti tion and the Stare, but he seeks the means by which they can be supported—(hear.) But it is said, the Catholic demands it as a right, and we would only grant it as a favour. Good Goa! and are we thus to be passing our time in these verbal contests, in this fencing or sentences, and studying the etymology of words, while every thing dear and sacred to us is at stake? but theyhave a right—aright not founded on the attestation of mouldering parchments, not established upon the laboured subtleties of diplomatic arrange ments—but that right which demands for community of privations and danger, community of benefit and reward: a right founded on the immutable laws of nature, and of justice ; laws, which have emanated from the virtues of Irishmen, and been written with I their dearest bood : Yes—that blood which has Reseed in torrents for' the universal cause of Liberty and England, that treasure which they have prodigally yielded, to support the holy war in which we are en gaged—these, these are the claims of Irishmen. " But, say the•enemies of Catholic claims, we can not trust the Catholic ; nor therefore permit him to participate in the blessings te our Constitution. If forgetful, for a moment, of the Plains of Busaco and 'l'alavera, I could assent to the truth of that assertion ; I would found upon that very assertion a CODCIUSiIn directly opposite; for since we have for so long a time tried the Penal Code and disabilities ; and if it be erne, as is asserted, that they have not made a loyal or an I attached people, why, in the name of GOD, pursue a system so injurious ? Why thus, in an enlightened age, act upon the maxims of a barbarous one ? Are - I Irish Catholks a breed of animals, that must instinc tively follow the propensities of their aboriginal spe. cks ' inaccessible to culture or to kindness, and be cause they might have been enemies to England tin ! der certain circumsta nces ; must continue her enemies under any circumstances ; or are they not rather - human beings like ourselves, susceptible of political justice—capable of gratitude and propitiation ? " It conies tor this, then—lf the Catholics have de served well of our Governments that Gevernmei t owes diem Emancipation from motives of gratitude. If they have not deserved well of our Government, let that Governinent alter its conduct towards them, avid they will alter their sentiments towards it but let not Emancipation be delayed—let it be granted while yet the one party may yield it with gored will, and the other accept it with gratitude. It is from snch Meetings as these we can aline leepe to accelerate so desirable a result ; it is from the united and manly voice of a people that political benefits can be derived. Too long has the Demon of Di,cord appeared in our horison ; too long has every bad passion been made an instrument of every weak one ; too long has this unhappy nation been found too indolent or too furious—either immersed in apathy, or sained with slaughter ; too long has the love of country, that noblest passion of the human heart, been made to cone sist in the hatred of our countrymen. These are the woes which have borne down Ireland, and made her fair and lovely form the mangled subject for every 1)o. litical anatomist. (Hear, hear, hear—Loud of:law.) —But, now, thank Gon, we behold this People addressing the organs of the Constitution by the le gitimate means which that Constitution itseit affords them. Measures thus conducted with moderatiun, and founded on reason and justice, must be ulti mately attended with success, must be ultimately productive of happiness. May we long continue thus to act—may we never, assuming the name of ' a religion whose precepts lead to goodness and for-, • bearance, worship a GOD of mercy and of peace with bloody sacrifices ! May we bury in mutual oblivion the memory of mutual wrongs !—thee reli. gion, whose essence is forgiveness, demands it from us—forgiveness was the language of Htu who died for our sins, and should be echoed by every heart that beats beneath the Christian banner. In G(n) it was mercy—in man it is acknowledgement—it is a sound of sweet peace to the receiver—but to the giver it is like the dew which returns from Heaven to bless the source from whence it spruug—(applauut.) —Let us not then conjure up phantoms of past dif ferences, nor exaggerate the existence of the present. —Let us not make the crimes of our ancestors an j excuse for the crimes of their posterity. Let us not , rake up the ashes of the dead to inflict calamities on the living, but rather be united in the sacred bonds of love, and peace, and charity. A nation's virtues shall produce a nation's happiness. This beauteous island, too long tumultuous and disturbed, shall then no I more collect around its summits the materials of woe and devastation, but its commanding and western heights, catching the rays of the departing sun of genius and of science, shall reflect back its splendours upon admiring Europe." This speech was followed by a burst of applause. which continued for a consieerahle time. Detachments of horses of the 11th Light Dragoons and Royal Waggon Train, also embarked last week. Colonel WAY, tvlioreceivedsuch dangerous wounds at Albuera, is brother of R. WAY, Esq. of Stanstead Park. This gallant officer came home in the La- TONA. He set off on Saturday, from Portsmouth for Belmont, his mother's seat. Lieutenant ROGERS, of the Halifax Local Militia, last week paid the penalty of se2o, for being absent without leave from the regiment, during the time of its being embodied for training and exercise. The 2d battalion of the 69th regiment, commanded by Colonel BROWN, between 3 and 400 strong, and the recruiting depot of the two battalions of the 10th regiment, amounting to 40 or 50 privates, with se veral officers, under the command of Captain CAR. PESTER, received routes on Monday night to march from Lincoln, on Wednesday and Thursday ; the ; Former to Norwich, the latter to Hull. The part of the 7th Dragoon Guards, which was in the barracks at Chichester, has been marched from thence, tc make room for some of the corps who are about to go upon service. The 2d battalion of the 88th regiment embarked at Portsmouth on Friday last, on board of transports, for Berry-head barracks, Devon. All the spirited English and Scotch militia regi ments who volunteered their services for Ireland and embarked at Plymouth, Portsmouth, Deal, and Bris tol, have sailed ; and by this time. most probably, have landed on the hospitable shores of the sister kingdom. A convoy, having on board stores and reinforce-' ments of officers, men, and horses, under the ROVER man of war, will sail for Lisbon from Portsmouth to-morrow, if the wind is fair. Among others, de tachments of the 11th Light Dragoons, Royal Wag gon Train, and Foot Guards, proceed by them. That most ‘.rallant anA distinguished old regiment the 42d, or Royal Highlanders, will be among the first to be sent on foreign service. They are upwards of 900 strong, in the highest state of discipline and order, and are at present quartered at Lewes, whither their gallantColonel,the Marquis of HUNTLY, is about to proceed on a visit to them. The depots of the 2d and 58th regiments have marched from Chichester barracks for Silver-Hill. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER S. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) DIEILTING OF THU CATHOLICS OF MEATH. On Saturday we had not space to give as full a report of the proceedings of the Meath Meeting as its great respectability and importance demanded. The conduct of the Earl of FINGALL in the General Com mittee, on the 81st of July, was worthy his rank and the high trust reposed in hint; and in Meath, his native county, he has set a bright example to the nation at large. In truth, the conduct of the Nobi lity, Gentry, Freeholders, and inhabitants of every religious persuasion, in that spirited and patriotic county, calls for unqualified praise. The Rev. Mr. HAMILTON, Protestant Clergyman and Magistrate, came forward in the handsomest manner with an offer of the Town Hall, where the Meeting was held; and when a Vote of Thanks was proposed to the Protes tants, all the Gentlemen of that persuasion present exclaimed—" No, no we consider your cause our own—it is the cause of the Empire—thanks are un necessary."—The attendance of Mr. COREALLY exi ted much interest in the assembly. That much re spected Gentleman, though deprived of the blessing of sight, had resolved not to withhold his valuable support in the day of peril. The following is the Speech of Mr. BARRET, lanother Protestant Gentleman, at the above Meeting. Mr. BARRETT addressed Lord Fingall as follows : " Mt LORD—In claiming for a few moments the honour of your Lordship's attention, I confess I feel a considerable difficulty, yet almost a stranger in this county, and so verryoung a man, I fear I can add little weight to the arguments already so ably urged, and which have come from such very respectable au thor'ty : but as an Irishman, interested for the hap piness and security of my country, and a resident in the town where this meeting is held, 1 trust I may hope for its indulgence, if not for its attention. The object of this day's meeting is to promote the cause of Catholic Emancipation. As a Protestant, I feel particularly interested in the success of that object, and am its most decided well-wisher. This is not an opinion adopted because it is theopinion of a party— ars of none—nor is it the hasty ebullition of the feelings of the moment. No !it is the- deliberate consideration of my understanding—a conviction that it is a measure which, by consolidating the power of the united empire, will make it glorious and respect. able abrdad, and give it peace, happiness, and security THE COMET,—TIIis awfully splendid stranger is at home.
