e '. 11. ~•., timent which you have uttered ; any thing I might add must weaken, could not strengthen the cause; it would be superfluous; it might appear presumptuous. Bu , when I look round, and behold this numerous and re spectable assemblage, called together at the very shortest notice, and at great personal inconsenience, I cannot refrain from expressing my satisfaction; and I am proud in appearing before my honest uncom promising constituents, the independent freeholders of this county. Your Lordship has truly said, o we bear no hostility to our peaceable and loyal Roman Catholic fellow-subjects"—were it otherwise, you would not have seen me here this day. As a Magistrate, I have ever endeavoured to administer impartial justice—l have always been anxious to assuage those hear tburnings and animosities which have been to often excited by designing miscreants. I have ever laboured to preserve the peace and tranquillity of this country; and before MAVEN I declare my opinion, that the only mode now left is to put forth our whole strength—show ourselves the friends of the Constitution, and resolve to maintain those principles which I entertain in common with you—principles which, I might almost say, were born with me; to which I cling with fonder affection as advance in life, and which I will bear with me to the grave. Gentlemen, we live in strange eventful times ; we have seen a set of demagogues, under the most false pretences, by the vilest machinations,work upon the poor, ignorant, and bigotted lower orders, so as to have changed their very nature—(Loud cries of hear, hear). They were the most warm-hearted, generous, kind, affectionate, and attached peasantry in the world., But, what a change has taken place ! the national character is degraded, and the name of Irishman is a bye-word and reproach over the civilized world. We have seen those demagogues proceed step by step in their demo ralising system; the country has been organized—one universal black conspiracy has extended over the land —no one dare appeal to the laws for protection, the laws of Captain Rock only are obeyed—taxes have been levied with impunity corresponding clubs, committees of grievances, churchwardens, and law agents. have been appointed. They have established their Order of Liberators—raised armies—assembled and dispersed them at the nod of the Prime Agi tator; and all this is done opal'', I might say, in the presence of Government. We meet this day, Gentlemen, for the purpose of forming a Brunswick Constitutional Club—we unite for self-defence—we unite to refute the calumnies, which have been so long and so industriously circulated. Your voice must be heard afar—you must rouse the Government from its fatal lethargy. Let t' e people of England know that you are not unworthy of their support; tell them that their Protestant brethren in Ireland honour their King and love their country; tell them that you venerate that Constitution, cemented by the blood of your ancestors ; tell them that you are prepared to shed the last drop of yours in its defence, and that you never will surren der its first grand bulwark—Protestant Ascendancy in Chinch and State. The Resolutions were all carried with shouts of ecstatic applause. They were moved and seconded by W. L. Galbraith, Esq. I'. Achmuty, Esq. the Rev. W. Digby, the Rev. C. Minchin, J. Robinson, Esq. and the Rev. IL Sr. George. The following is an extract from the speech of the latter Gentleman : " I am of opinion that ru.thillg is more prejudicial to the a ell-being of society than want of consistency in the character of those who direct public affairs. When I speak of consistency, I do not mean that bigotted attachment to one system, or one set of opinions, that will not submit to be changed by sound reason or vinvii.cing practical argument. At the period of the Revolution, in the year 1688, it was arranged on a firm basis, th t the Constitution in Church and State should be essentially Protestant, and that in reference to the King, all Papists should for ever be excluded from the succession ti the English Crown. Such being the case, how shall we accoont for the inconsistency of those who suffer the boundaries of our Constitution to be frittered away, day alter day, and as it were by piecemeal, with . the awful example before their eyes of having, by a similar line of conduct, reduced this country to the verge of destructi , n? I allude to the rebellion of 1798. Few among us who are not old enough to bring to recollec tion that even ful period, and the line of policy pursued previous to it. Conciliation was the order of the day betore the flames of civil war burst forth. First, there was indemnity then oblivion conciliation next — and concession after concession followed in quick succession—and the fatal termination was rebellion!, Or its suppression, we adopt the same system— we follow the same course. We conciliate &st— and then make concessions to the Papists while we neglect the Protestant yeoman, who used his best energies in defence of the Constitution, and who is prepared, on all similar occasions, to do so at the ha zard of his life. We discourage him in every way ; we give a preference to the Papist in the disposal of our farms; we even deprive the honest, faithful, and at tached Protestant of the means of livelihood in his own country, and force him to seek that in a foreign land, which is denied him in that which gave him bitch, and for which he bled. Yes, my Lord, this is the mode of treatment we have adopted, as a recompence to the Protestant yeoman for his loyalty and firm attach ment to his religion. What wonder, then if he 'ought a more favourable clime: what, if sepa tatted from his fellow-Pr testants, discouraged by the aristocracy, and dwelling in a lonely hut, in the centre of his enemies, his fears for his safety (I mean no disrespect, for which of us, if similar ly circumstanced, would not anticipate danger) should c , mpel him to become the heat tless inanimate creature he has been? I rejoice, my Lord, to hail the establishment of Brunswick Clubs; they oil bring the higher and lower classes of society into more intimate and friendly communion; they will make the aristocracy of the land acquainted wit'r the brave, the manly, and the generous beings whom they have too long neglected; they will convince the humbler class that they are once more in favour— that their warm affections to their superiors are appre ciated, and their firm and uncompromising loyalty re spected. These Clubs will prove, that while the sedi tious traitor is allowed to go through the country, in tusiog and encouraging a disaffected and iebeliious spi rit among its peasantry, the loyal and well-affected have a 'allying post, round which they may muster, the ex istence of which will give energy to their lawful exertions in -upport of the Constitution. What, I would ask, are the objects at. which these demagogues aim, in itinerating through the country.if rebellion be not in contemplation? What right have they to collect crowds, to assemble meetings? What brought that arch demagogue, O'Connell, to this county ? By what right, or under what privilege did be collect a mob and address them ? He has no property here, and yet he threatened to throw Sir George Petherston out of the Representation, and promised to let Lord Forbes continue. Ile abused one ut our Members, and praised the other; but, know ing the character of the demagogues, we may truly say, I his praise was censure, and his censure praise.' He extolled Lord Forbes, and assailed with vulgar abuse Sir George Fetherston. 4 Praise undeserved is satire in disguise.' I. do conceive, that' when this swag. geeing declaimer last honoured the town of Longford with his presence, he spoke, as he did of Lord Forbes, with the treacherous view of insulting him. He had just returned from Clare, flushed with recent vic tory ; he had there laid his foot upon the neck of his adversary, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, a brother Liberal of my Lord Forbes ; I am firmly convinced that his object with regard to his Lordship was to apprise him, that unless he became his abject slave, and would consent to certain' pledges,' he could dismiss him with a nod; that unless he was a goad boy,' he had the same rod in pickle for his Lordship with which he had flagellated Vesey Fitzgerald. I can compare Mr. O'Connell in this instance to no person so appropriately as to the immor tal bard of Avon's hunch-backed Richard, and his Lord ship to Lady Anne. The love scene was something similar, and I suppose the termination will be the same. I must in this case be permitted to paraphrase the words of the Bard— Was ever Member in such humour wood ? Was ever Member in such humour won? Such must be his Lordship's obedience to this tyrannical •ulgar despot, that, should his patrician pride lead him to hesitate throwing himself in the gutter at the feet of some base-born, low•bred priest, his dismissal will be instantaneous. He must be their most abject slave or renounce their cause." LIMERICK, Nov. e. There was a highly respectable and numerous Meet ing of the Limerick Brunswick Club this day, at Swin burn's—Right lion. Lord MASSY in the Chair. Several motions wt re brought forward, and new members ad mitted. It was resolved to incorporate a District Club for the Barony of Upper and Lower ConneHoe. Letters were read bons William Henry Tram, Esq. M.P. and Sr J. S. Ribton, Bart. enclosing subscriptions. The Hon. Wu. Maw, in an eloquent and energetic speech, I congratulated the Meeting on the glorious display of sound Protestant constitutional feeling made in Dublin last Tuesday, and exposed the alarming powers which that illegitimate body, the Catholic Association, pie sumed to arrogate—authority almost superior tl the Imperial Parliament. He hoped the Brunswick Club would ever be forward to do their duty with spin it; and to maintain the principles of their excellent Constitution, and the tenets c f their sacred religion, pure and in violate—(Cheers). The thanks of the Club were voted by acclamation to George Freke Evans, EA. for his splendid donation of 1001. to the tunds.—Limerick Chronicle. SHREWSBURY. At a Meeting, held at the Lion Inn, Shrewsbury, on the 10th of November, 1828, for the purpose of ebta blishing a Brunswick Constitutional Club for the county of Salop, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon in the Chair, the necessary resolutions for that purpose were entered into. The Hop. Thomas Kenyon having quitted the Chair, Thomas Whitmore, Esq. was called thereto; when it was unanimously resolved, That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, for his conduct in the Chair this day. OSIVESTRY. PROM THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. A Meeting was held at Oswestry on Thursday, the 30th of October, for the purpose of petitioning Parlia ment on the subject of the Roman Catholic Claims, and for the purpose of establishing a Brunswick Club; the Mayor in the Chair. The business was opened by ROBERT MORRALL, Esq. Mayor of Oswestry, who expressed himself strongly in favour of the objects of the Meeting. The Petition was then proposed byWILLIAMORMEBT GORE, Esq. who enforced the necessity of proving to , the Protestants of Ireland, that their brethren in Eng land were not so apathetic on the subject as the public agitators endeavoured to persuade them. He stated his forbearance to enter into the merits of theqne,tion, con vinced that no fresh arguments on either side would alter the opinions formed by those present on a subject, that had already undergone such complete discussion, but he urged the necessity of every individual's taking a decided part in the present times of political disturb ance and excitement.—Mr. Gore proceeded to read the petition, which was secoqded by the Reverend Dr. Don Ne.,in a neat speech, allusive to the arise! ies brought upon England by the evil effects of foreign influence; in various periods of our history previous to the Rtfur naation. After a pause of some minutes, the Mayor was pro. ceeding to put the question, when the Hon. THOMAS KENYON rose, and stated that he had waited to observe if there was likely to be any opposition; but that he now addressed the Meeting under most gratifying feel. inv, produced by the unanimity which prevailed, although be saw those present who were capable of 'giving full effect to their sentiments, if necessary, and whose opinions, he was aware, had formerly borne a different complexion. Mr. Kenyon proceeded to en large on the Roman Catholics themselves having forced us to come forward by their late . conduct—he then dwelt upon the history of the country since the reign of James the S-cond, showing how it had progressively advanced in the rank of nations until the battle of %- I terloo, when it assumed a higher station than any since the creation cf the world. He then alluded to the influence which the Roman Catholic pries hood held over their flocks, which he exemplified by some anec , dotes, and concluded by expressing his opinion that it was necessary for all parties, and in mercy to the Roman Catholics themselves, that now the question should be set at rest for ever. The Petition was then carried nem. dia. On the 6th inst. the visiting Justices of Horsham Gaol informed the debtors that his Most Gracious Ma- jesty had been pleased to send them a present of 101. which was afterwards distributed amongst them by the gaoler; and at the same time the visiting Justices re• moved all restrictions of food for the space of one month. Extract of a letter from Corfu, dated Oct. b :—" The last advice: from the Mores announce the arrival there of the remainder of the second division of the French army, so that at this time there are nearly 20,000 French troops there. Provisions of all sorts are exceed ingly scarce, and very dear. It is confidently antici pated that the occupation of the Mores by the French, and the consequent tranquillity attending it in that quarter, will materially improve the trade of this place, and tender it of much more importance in a commer• cial point of view than it has hitherto been considered." It is related of Mr. Pitt, that, upon celebrated occa• biota, such as the annual budget, he was in the habit of committing to paper the st4tement which he intended to make to the House; and that this he did by mean, of an amanuensis, to whom he dictated whale himself pacing his cabinet. On one such occasion, it i► said, the writer, wearied by his labour and the lateness of the hour, had fallen asleep while the Minister bad con- tinued dictating some of his most important statements, and, perhaps, splendid rhetorical flourishes.

In addition to this great calamity, some of the private accounts say that the inhabitants are beginning to experience a scarcity of water, which. however, the Authorities are taking every precaution to remedy. It is said that the infection has extended to some of the vessels in the Bay, but there has not yet been an official an. nouncement of that fact. French Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday's dates were received lett night. Neither those papers nor the Berlin Gazettes mention the rumoured fall of Silistria ; from this silence, therefore, we may infer that there was no truth in that repo: t. The St. Petersourgh Journal, which also arrived last eight, announces the arrival of the Emperor NICHOLAS in his northern capital on the 26th ult. the anniversary of his mother's birth-day. After the ceremony of thanksgiving, and the perform ance of Te Denim, the standards taken at Varna and Ardaghane, and the keys of those fortresses, were car• tied through the principal streets, wllich were illumi nated in the evening. A Decree has been passed, compelling all the towns and villages, from the Elaine to the Baltic, to furnish men, and not money ! The Ukase of September, 1801, having made it optional with those places. This change is ascribed to the union with the kingdom of Poland; but the most assignable reason is, that much more dif ficulty is found in recruiting the Russian armies than we have been led to suppose. These papers contain a rescript of the EMPEROR, de creeing a martial trophy in Warsaw to WLADISLAUS. King of Poland, who fell in a former attempt to cap ture Varna. We received last night Lisbon Gazettes to the Ist inst. They contain no news of the least importance. The 26th ult. being the birth day of Don Mrouar. was cele brated with great pomp and eclat. It is stated, that his loyal subjects were most anxious on this occasion to expresss the love they bore his person, and their attach ment to his government. At the Opera, in the evening, we are told be was received with transports of joys Yet, with all these expressions of loyalty, Don MrGun. finds himself much annoyed- by seditious publications, and is adopting severe inquisitorial measures to meet the evil. Extracts from these Papers will be found in our front page. German and Frankfort Papers to the Bth inst. were received this morning. The Nuremberg Correspondent contains a vague account, ►rom the trontiers of Poland, of an action having been fought between the Russians and the combined forces under OMER VRIONR and the GRAND VIZIER, the issue of which is stated not to have proved advantageous to the Russians. As the Prussian State Gazette of the Bth, to which we have before re ferred, makes no mention of this battle, we must attach vet y little credit to the report. The following are extracts: FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Ocr. 27. According to a report, which is not yet authenticated, the Rus sian corps sent in pursuit of Omer Vrione had overtaken his troops, just as they were on the point of joining the main army under the Grand Vizier, upon which a sanguinary battle ensued, in which that army also took part. The statements respecting the Issue of it do not agree. It scents, however, that the Russian force, notwith standing Its superiority in military skill, was not sufficiently nume rous to profit by the advantage which that superiority gave them in the fitld. It is is also reported that offensive operations at the foot of Mount Balkan are to be suspended with the Empetor's de parture. Lord Ileytesbury, the British Ambassador, was pre paring to leave Odessa, and follow the Emperor to St. I"etersburgh. The new levy of recruits ordered in Russia will probably produce a total of 200,000 men ; and as the preceding levy, ordered in February this year, amounts to 100,000 men, we have a total of 300,00 fresh soldiers, which will amply make good all the losses that the Russian armies can have sustained in the coolie of the campaign.—Nuremberg Correspondent, Noe. S. TRIESTE, OCT. 24. Letters from Corfu say, that Ibrahim Pacha, immediately after the sailing of the first division of his troops from the blorea, re ceived orders from Constantinople not to evacuate that Peninsula, but in case means should be employed to counsel him, to defend himself to the utmost. It seems that Ibrahim Paeha was disposed to comply with this order, but was deterred by the threats of the three Admirals, not thinking himself strong enough to make any serious defence in the field, and he could not retire into the for tresses for want of provisions. It is affirmed that bands of robbers, composed chiefly of Greeks, are forming in the rear of the French troops, French Officers, in their rides into the country, are said to have been plundered by them. Count Guilleminot was indisposed. Baron Sermet, who is commissioned to provide for the subsistence of the French troops in Greece, intended to procure pan of the provisions from this place ; but we bear that, to the great prejudice of our merchants, be has now applied to Ragusa, for the osecution of his orders.— Ageoseine &Owes, Nto. 7. 1 FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, O ft tt The Forte seems very anzious to preserve tranquillity in k iss therefore conferred the dignity of Vizier of lios u i a oa Ai fachs, surnamed 'Morallia, who is well known as a man of vest itadgment and mild disposition.

The Gazette of Lyons states, that Jussure PAcH4 received 200,000 ducats. and .an asylum in Russia for the pric e ,/ his trtasdn. The above Taber also adds, that the 'dilation of the Emperor of RUMBA was critical, as a secret Society io the Ar mh was discovered, which bad for Its object to put ( OVITANTINt pa ike Throne. It appears, according to the German accounts, that the %wi n Army was still before Sebum's on the 12th October, and it wain* to quit its frontier until after the fall of Varna, when a w en t movement was to be made against Salmi*. The French frigate Pallas has been cruising for so l v e time past at the entrance of Gibraltar, to observe the naval fo rm of the English and Hessians, going to the Mediterranean.

Since the return of the Marquis of LoNvorrnEnny's Noble Family to their estates in Downshire, Mount Stewart has resumed its ancient hospitality, and been the scene of continued festivities, of which must of the families of rank and fashion in die province, as well as the principal tenants on the Marquis's eetates have partaken. These were succeeded by a ball and supper, given by the Marchioness, on Thursday evening, which for splendour and magnificence, exceeded any thing of the kind in this neigh bourhood. _ The scaffolding has been removed from before the front and front~ the west wing of the New Palace it St. James's Park, which can be now seen to advantage. Considerable progress has been made in the interior. and it is expected that his Majesty will soon inspect it, and give his orders for such further improvements and alterations as he may deem necessary. The thermometer, which was on Tuesday night at 26 degrees of Fahrenheit, was on Wednesday night not lower than 38, making a difference •f 12 degrees in the coldest periods of two successive nights. Accounts from Smyrna to the 9th ult. state that the most violent pa►ty spirit exists in Greece, and that the new President has given such eisgtist to the leaden that many are in open rebellion, and have taken the field at the bead of a large party of Mainotes, to oppose the new Government.

MARYON WILSON, Bart. for SA. 29r. of his freehold lands, and for 38r. f his copyhold lands at Hampstead, required for the above road; when, after a view of the land, and hearing counsel on both sides, and the evidence adduced, the Jury assessed the compensation to Sir THOMAS for the above land at 1,1671. 10s. Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the frost was so intense, that the confectioners commenced laying in their stock of ice for the summer ; but so subj ct to change is our capricious climate, that the weather sod• deftly became uncommonly mild, and yesterday the weather was as 6ne as if it were the middle of spring, and the husbandmen resumed their agricultural and other labours. DR. PgARION.—We regret to give, from a Cones. pondent, the following details of the death of this emi nent physician, celebrated chemist, and amiable indi vidual; which took place at his house in Hanose on Sunday evening last, from accident. Notwittmancr ing his great age (...e believe nearer SO than 70), Dr. Psnason was indefatigable in the pursuit of study, aid sat up every night later than any person of his family. On Saturday night be remained, as usual, the last up; and is supposed to have made an attempt to go to bed, which unfortunately had a fatal termination. When the footboy got up and came down early on Sundtf morning, he found his master's candlestick and the el ttagusthet at the top of the first flight of stairs, andol going down lower he he a rd a l ou d b rea thing, which alarmed him so much that he ran back to the attics for a fellow -servant, with whom he returned to ascertain the cause. On reaching the bottom they discovered their unfortunate master on the ground at the entrance of the hall, breathing still heavily, but senseless, and with a large wound on his head, the scalp being LA' raised, and a great quantity of blood having flowed. He was taken up immediately to his bed, and medical aid procured, and we understand that in the course of the day he recovered his consciousness, but espired wards the evening. It is supposed that he fell backward on reaching tto the s t ftheat t or without the noise of his fall being heard. Dr. l'aag' 4 of e stai r s,t o ed sox was Senior Physician of St. George's Hospital the time of his decease. ca ll iro he lp, down
