concluded with recommending the formation of Clubs thrt ughout the kingdom. Major ECCLFS moved the adoption of the Report. I'4r. KELLY, another cf the Secretaries, seconded the motion with great pleasure. He congratulated the Meeting upon the appearance which it that day made, and which he, who had seen the first beginning of these Societies at Mr. Moore's dinner, three months ago, then thought almost impossible. In every sentiment of the Report he concurred, and in none more cordially than that which disclaimed the slightest or hostility to theirßoman Catholic brethren. In the call for univer sal co-operation he also joined. Let them all unite, and make known what their feelings and their alarms were to the Legislature, the Ministry, and the Throne. The House of Brunswick had done its duty to the country ; they had brought it to the highest pitch of prosperity — (Cheers)—and that it might long be guided by the principles which placed that family on the Throne, ought to be the wish of every good Protestant.—The Illustrious Person at its head was himself a guarantee for the due administration of those principles. With the kindest heart, all the qualities of a perfect Gentle man, and all the attributes of an honest man, he never could consent to forego those principles which first gave bit family a claim upon the people of this country. The Report was agreed to. - - The Earl of MAYO—Previous to my reading the first resolution which is to be presented to you, I beg leave to declare what my political and religious creeds are. As far as my religious creed is concerned, I am a straight-forward Protestant of the Church of England, admiring ber Liturgy, and revering her rights—(Loud applause). As to my political creed, lam a strenuous supporter of the Church, King, and Constitution, as they are by law established, and finally settled in 1688. And that those realms may enjoy the Constitution in its fullest vigour, to use a vulgar, though a forcible ex pression, As long as grass grows And water flows, is the wish of the humble individual who now addresses you—(Great cheering). The Noble Lord concluded by moving the first resolution. " That, associated as we are, upon the principle of defending the integrity of our Protestant Constitution against the dangers to which its existence is this day exposed, we conceive it our duty, in the present posture of affairs, to employ every means which a legal and a Constitutional exercise of our privileges, as British subjects, can place at our disposal, in order to effect its preservation." Mr. SAUNDIERSON, M. P.for Cavan—Before seconding the resolution, I beg leave to ray a few words. I was one of those who hesitated for a long time to join these Clubs: and I should not have done so now, if not driven to it by extreme necessity. It the Catholics had con fined themselves to the making endeavours to obtain an extension of their political privileges, I should not have joined, for neither you nor your clubs would have ex isted. We are forced together by hard necessity, by the dangers which threaten our properties, our lives, and, what is dealer to us, our liberties—(Loud cheeis). I have joined this Association without any feeling of hos tility to my Catholic countrymen, but, on the contrary, in the full exi ectwion of In ing able to protect them, in Common aids nryself, from the dangers which due:own us all. These dangers it is not necessary for me to parts. culatise, but I would entreat those Protestants who are no: yet with us—those Catholics u ho are not yet blinded to their situation—to view the hot, id appearances of the times, the disaffection, disloyalty, treason, and graceful sympathy with the enemes of the country, which threaten to pour in upon us a dreadful tempest, . and to involve us in a frightful rebellion, with all its dreadt d 'consequences—(Cheers). I ask them to join with, us, and avert that dreadful calamity. I second the B s-lotion with great pleasure. Tr.: Resolution was then put from the Chair, and agreed to. Tree Earl t t ENNI/BKILLIM WAS received with deafen ing -bouts. I think it incumbent, said his L-rdship, urn every Protestant in Ireland to come for ward man full , in • tippott of cur glorious Constitution, and to do every thing to unite the Protestants of Ireland in one solid mass, to oppose t' e machinations of the disaffected, now spread over the land—(Loud applause). The Re solution which I hold in my hand is well calculated to promote the object, and thereforw I offer it with confi dence to ref consideration. I therefore move— " That the Constitution which we thus willingly pledge ourselves to support is the effect of that great national settlement of these countries, the Revolution of MS, under which the system, de signated by the law by the name of Popery, was completely ex cluded from the civil Constitution of this realm, not merely because that system had been pronounced erroneous in matters of religion, but because it bad been found by experience to involve a political system unsuited to the free spirit of the nation, and inconsistent with the independence of the Crows." Mr. Wows Nicene, M.P.—My Lord, I feel it an honour conferred upon me to be selected to second this resolution ; it is a distinction to which I claim no title, exc• pt as the Representative of the Metropolis in which you Are now assembled. But permit me, before I enter enoreimmediat ly upon the topics comprised in this re solution, to j..in in the congratulations which have been offered upiis the success of the Protestant cause, exem plified as that success so strongly is by the proud—l would say the magnificent—display of this day (Cheers). It is some lot Oer gratification to me to see the amazing, unexpected, unparalleled progress of these institutions ; and can I deny myself the futther satisfactiou of wit nessing the manner in w!..ich the opinions of the cant us Clubs throughtnit the country have been expressed, the mode in which they have been c• nducted, and the tem per by v hic h they have teen char actor 'zed ? They have eshbi , ed characteristics which will always I hall e attach to the Protestant Constitutional Club s t hi s of t...s country— zr.l tempered with discretion, and fit mness combined with moderation'. There is no constitutional truth none true than this—that the spirit of freedom of the British nation is its totally unsuited to the system of those who are excluded from any share in our Constitution, as that the independence of the Crown is inconsistent with the continuance of that system. It is true that the free spirit of the British nation manifested anti sus tained itself in the earliest periods of British history; and we ate told, ard told triumphantly, that our Rowan Catholic ancestors were the first to rats, and maintain those glorious struggles which were the taunlation of British liberties. My Lord, I admit that statement—i give our Catholic ancestors all the credit to which they are entitled ; they were und. übtedly brave, frce-spitited--they were independent men— (Hear). They lived, however in times when, in the Carignan world, there was only one religion, and that under the controul of the Pope of Rome; but still the' tree spirit of the nation ruse above that controul, and di-played itself not only in its own character. but ac gutted a new one, by the struggle in which it engaged —by:the constant, active, and finally successful, resist. once which it made to the usurpations of the Church, of Rime. I think lam well grounded in hazarding this eonjecture—Aat if those Wave characters who graced the first annals of the liberties of Britain had tell the light of the Reformation, they . would have been tit first to embrace it—if they had l ived at the tra of the IL volution, they would have been the foremost in the rai.ks of those who brought that glorious event to a happy termination--(Loud ct ecrs). In that great and glorsous esent, then, in; Lord, do we find the result which we are this day met to commemorate asthe preserier of our Protestant Constitution. Under the auspices of the great deliverer, whose name is l i blended with it, that great work was achieved; and if ' *any thing was wanting to prove this Constitutional pa sition in the breasts of Englishmen, and ail the world over, that freedom would ever be opposed to Popery, I would trace it in the words—the immortal winds— which graced the banner of the Royal vessel that landed King William upon the shores of Tothaymm." I w ill maintain the Protestant Religion and the Liberties of England!"—(Cheers). It is scatcety necessary to im press upon this assembly a truth, which the expel ietice of every day warrants me in calling your attention to, that the Protestant Religion, at the same time that it inculcates all Christian humility, contains within itself an independence of character calculated to forward and support the great cause of our national liberties. The justice and policy of that Constitutional system, which excludes from the entire system of Government, execu tive and legislative, all Roman Catheilie interference, has been arraigned upon several plausible grounds. It has been stated, that in a free State all men ought to lie equally eligible ttr all offices of trust and power.— To that I answer, that the position is grounded upon a fallacy. If, indeed, eligibility to civil offices in a State were a natural right, the - position would have some strength—(Hear, hear). But I take leave to say, that civil and political offices ate the mere crea.u:es—the artificial creatures of the Constitution, for the purpose of administering, in the best and safest manner, all the public functions of Government, and when that G vernment is essentially Protestant, it is squally essei.- tial to have it administered *by Protestant 'Members— (Loud Cheering). It has been further said, that the spread of intelligence end education in the present day —the spirit which prevails in consequence of the great increase of knowledge —`the enlargement of the human mind throughout the world— afforded a hope that some change had taken place in the political principles of the Catholics, which would render it safe to admit them within the pale of the Protestant Consti tution. My answer, my Lord, to that is, I see no such change—(Loud cries of No, no," and cheers). I call upon those who teiy upon such a change to point it out; and, if they inquire of me where I have found the evidences of their doctrines, I would ieter them to the imperishable records of the history of their Church. By that test only will I have that question tried. If they desire to show me such a change as s ill insure public confidence. let them show in these records some autho rised repeal of their obnoxious tenets, and then w e shall be open to conviction—(Cheers). Their exclusion is just—it is rational. It is a sound political maxim, that the great offices of State, the primary functions of Go vernment, should be intrusted to that class of men who ate best fitted to fulfil these offices. I would take leave to ask, then, if a desire to maintain our • Protestant re ligion—if the support of our Protestant establishoonts and institutions—if the uninterrupted Protestant suc cessiun to the Crown be a part of the functions of Gi•- vernment—whether any class of his Majesty's subjects be so fit to be intrusted with the guardianship of these said objects as the Protestant subjects?—(Loud plaute) Give me leave to say that, in impressing upon this assembly my sense of the great value f the Protestant Constitution, as the best security fur the civil and religious lib , rties of the empire, I am struck with no chat act ristic mote forcibly than this-• that it possesses within itself the pow er of its own preservation. That power I call the especial attention of this meeting to, as resulting, in my opinion, from the most sacred privilege which a British subject can exercise....a privi lege which was secured permanently. and, I may say, consecrated by t'm name of "right," in the great con stitutional settlement of 1688-1 mean the right of free discussion upon 2;1 pubiic topics, and the right of ap proaching the Legislature and the Throne constitu tionally, by petition, upon them. The Protestant Con. stitution, and the preservation of its integrity, ate the leading objects of this institution; and in the view which I take of the proceedings to which it has led throughout the country, I lay down this position, which no man can controvert, that we are an institution strictly and purely defensive. We are satisfied with the Con stitution as it is; and if the Constitution had not been assailed so actively, so vigorously, and so perseveringly as it is, our efforts would be uncalled for. Igo fat tiler and say, that even if the Constitution had been assailed, yet if it had not been assailed in the way that it has, our efforts would be unnecessary. If our Roman Ca tholic f How subjects had contented themselves with a strictly constitutional course of proceeding—if they had been satisfied with making known their wishes and their claims to the Legislature of this realm, constitutionally, by petition, and had not had recourse to any measure which was not constitutional, you would not, you could not, want Constitutional Brunswick Clubs. But the Catholics had departed from this course, and testis ted to intimidation. He therefore weeded to his original proposition, that this institution was [timely and strictly defensive, in support of that gteat tight, that all should be allowed fearlessly to express their opinions, arid con vey their sentiments freely, to the Legislature and tha Throne. He felt sure in maintaining this principle, the members of thisimtitution would never take a step incon skein with the spirit or the pr.riciple of she Constitution. In the exercise of these privileges they (the Protestants) were attacked in every mode. It he were asked to detail these modes of defence, he should say, 44 point out all your modes of attack, and you shall learn our points of defence." As the multiform attack was illegal and unconstitutional, their defence, on the contrary. should be strictly legal, and within the Constitution—(Hea.) lie was satisfied that the concuct of this Club would preserve it; it would be animated solely by a spirit strictly constitutional, and never ad..pt a course to af ford th• it enemies the slightest opportunity of seproach ing them with a departure not only from the spirit of the law, but from its very slightest shadow, and then they would deprive their enemies of their only weapons —calumny and misrepresentation, and thus secure the confidence and ce-operation of that powerful body, to whom an appeal is Lever made in vain--the British people—(Loud cheers for some time). Several other Noblemen and Gentlemen then ad dressed the Meeting, and the following were the Reso lutions proposed, and unanimously adopted— ,. That no change whatever has taken place, that we can dl.. cover, to warrant a departure from the polity and principles which governed those who conducted the great Constitutionl settlement of the Revolution, in vesting the political power of the State in Pro. testants exclusively, as the best safeguard of the Protestant Re% glon, of the Protestant Establishments of these countries, of the Protestant Succession to the Crows, and of the Civil and Religious Liberties of the Empire. " That under the Protestant Constitution of the &ate, as coin. pitted and established by the Revolution of 1658, toleration unli mited has been extended to ail veligious sects and persuasions, Civil and Religious Liberty in the highest possible degree possessed and enjoyed equally by :U classes of his itlajesty's subjects; and all the objects and purposes for which Civil Governments are Institu ted, adequately fulfilled aid accomplished. " That in the present crisis of danger to the Protestant Consti tution of the realm, and from the alarm that prevails amongst a great portion of his Majesty's Protestant subject* of Ireland, from she daring proceedings to which an uniatitrui and unconstitutional . assembly, calling itself the " Catholic Assucia• ion," has resorted, evidently with a view to the subversion of the Constitution, it 1, imperatively incumbent on all who revert the primiplet on *hit+ the British Constitutional Club of Ireland as founded, to associate themselves for the purpose of protecting the free and independent expression of Protestant public opinion. to facilitate the progress of petitions to t h e L eg ist Iture and the Throne, and to exhibit their union of sentinunt in support of our glooinus Constitution. " That the Managing Committee he authorised to receive volun. tary contributions in aid of the ordinary funds of the Club, to be applied by them in the manner beat calculated to promote the ob jects of its institution. " That this Club cannot too deeply impress upon the friends of the Constitution the great importance of increasing the number of local Clubs throughout the country. to be established on prin ciples similar to Its own, but wholly independent of its corltrout; and all such Clubs may be assured of its desire to communicate at all times, Wily and freely with them, and its (cadent's, upon all, occasions, to give @hem its advice. " iliac Petitions be presented to the Houses of Lands and Com. mons, for the protection and maintenance of our Protestant Con- , stitution. " That a Managing Committee be appointed to prepare such, Petitions, and submit them for signature to such prisons as may approve of them. "That an humble Address, to be signed by the President and Secretary on behalf of the Club, be presented to his Majesty, ex planatory of the origin and objects of the Brunswick Constitutional, Clubs of Ireland, by a lkputation from among the Nlesnbers stitsitivg the list of Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Committee of that Society. " That an Address be put forward so the People of Great Britain—to the Protestants of Ireland, and to the Boman Catholics of Ireland, unfolding the true nature uf throe Institutions. " That the General Committee do prepare those Addresses." Thanks weie voted to the EMI 01 Longford amid the loudest acclamations. His Lord.bip . briefly returned thank , , and the Meeting was declated by the Eail of Mayo to be dissolved. THE DINNER. Upwards of six hundred persons are expected to dine.

In calling the attention of our Readers to the ref or of the proceedings of the Brunswick Club in Dublin, given in our preceding columns, we wish to offer some observa tions: the spirit of ft eedom,which seemed to have depat ted from our Protestant bretht en in Ireland has at last awoke, and spoke trumpet•tongoed—that spit it seems to say, and to say it emphatically, " that Ireland shall not be the slave of a Popish faction—shall not be trampled on by bullying lawyers, and made the mart where hypoctisy thrives and honesty starves r But shall the voice of Ireland—of Protestant Ireland—be only re echoed among her own mountains? Shall not that voice be wafted across the ocean, acrd find its response in the breast of eve' y genuine Bt icon ? Where are our County Meetings? Oar Noblws must speak out—our revered Priesthood must raise their voices—Popery rears her blood stained banners, its motto "Ascendancy and slavery." Shall this be beheld by Englishmeo, and shall not their hand involuntarily attempt to gtasp a sword to push this intruder Popery from our altars and our homes ? Well, indeed, might BONAPARTE call us a " Nation of Shopkeepers." if vie will not prove that we can be at home a nation of bold Yeomen in defence of the liberty of our religious opi. nions, as wcll as we posed ourselves to be a nation of warriors in Spain, and Pottugal, and France and Waterloo, in defence of political fueedom and national honour. The Getman Papers receive.l this morning contain no advices from the theatre of war. An.aiticle from Vienna. in speculating on the probable causes that led to the capture of Vona, reiterates the defection of JUSSUIf PACHA, as standing the most prominent. The following are extracts : VIENNA Ocr. 27. The Russian Bulletins relative to the tall of Varna prove that the preceding accounts front Belgrade and Widdin of an unsuc cessful attack made by the Russians on the 7th, though exaggerated, were not wholly unfounded. But then it is also certain that the only disadvantage that accrued to the Russians from it was, that they were obliged to leave Varna again the same night, and that I therefore the second part of the Turkish Bulletins that were published at Belgrade and Widditt was a mere fiction. However, without being in possession of the official Turkish Bulletins, which may perhaps be expected front Constantinople. we can already con jecture;as private letters affirm, that the Albanian, Jima Puha, the second in command at Varna, either did not do his duty, or at the least acted in concert with the besiegers. Even the Russian Bulletins seem to intimate as much. FI.ORENCE, OCT. 16. It isunderstood that negotiations are carrying on at Rome for a Concordat with the kingdom of Portugal, which will probably be framed on the principles of that already made with Bavaria, and which the Holy See appears to have much at heart. It is also said that a Concordat wit► another great Northern State has been proposed, the bads of which are shortly expected in Rome. The affair of the French Bishops will furnish many occa sions for disputes, and increase the iuluence of the Roman Court at France, because the French Government and the Ukrainuntane party in France rival eac► other is► striving to gain the favour of the Papal See, for the accomplishment of their respective objects. AUGSBURG, Om 51. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Baze Cobol.' arrived at Munich on the 19th, on his way to Italy. Several German Journals report, soder the head of Hanover, 20th October, that the long announced military occupation of some districts of Brunswick, in case the Duke would net be induced to make any concession to the King, his law guardian, has now taken place, Hanuvrrian troops having, entered the district of Theder. disown on the 12th October.—dflgemenw &aunt, Aim. 1. The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain no intelli gence from the armies in Turkey that has not been anticipated through other channeh, and their other po litical news are of the most meagre description. From Toulon it is stated that a telegraphic dispatch had orJei ed a ship IT dielifie to i t.. ;he of was to tarry out the feMAIR 'ler of t'le persorthel awl siateriel of the expedition to that quarter. It tri. dered probable by this circumstance,that the stay tithe French forces in the Morea will be prolonged heyr.r,4 the period which has been mentioned.

They contain two official &cements on the subject of the right of search on the liagh seas, ast.usned by the Mexican Government. which are of some ins. portance. The first is a letter addressed by Mr. Men ham, the British Charge d'Affaires at Mexico, to Ad miral Fleming, Commander•io•Chiet on the West lochs station; the second is a memorandum of instructions issued by the latter to all the Comm aiding Officers acting truck, his orders. ft a med upon Mr. Pakeukam's communication : " Mrisco, May U. " Sre—l -herewith enclose for your Information, a copy of a public notice issued by Ciimmildore Porter, on the 3d instant, an nouncing that lie is authorized by this Government to detain ene my's property found on board neutral vessels. " I also enclose copy of a note which I have received front the Minister of Foreign Affairs. communicating to me certain regula tions which this Government has thought proper to adopt, for doh exercise of the belligerent rights above mentioned. " Sy the 24th article of the Spanish Orden /um of 1797, towhici Mr. Cando refers, and with a copy of which all Mexican cruisers are to be provided, as the rule and guide fur their conduct, it is ordained generally, that neutral vessels, baying enemy's property Oil board, are to be brought into port, in order that the validity of the seizure may be decided by a competent tribunal; and by tto succeeding article of the same erdessenza, it is provided that if the Captain of the neutral freely admit the character of the enemy's property, such is to be transshipped by the capturing cruiser, who is to pay the freight thereof to the neutral Captain. This regula tion, which is only a modification of the more rigorous imam., of detaining the neutral vessel, ft would appear from err. Canedo's note to be the intention of the Mezicau Government to make absolute. I have informed Mr. Cando that I doubted much whether his Majesty's Government would admit the seisure and transship ment on the high seas, even in the modified sense of the Spatin 3 / 4 ordertanaa, but I bays not thought it advisable, until acquainted with the views a' his Majesty's Government upon this point, to demand that In every case British vessels having Spanish property on board should be brought into port for adjudication.
