A.T a MEETING of the PROTESTANT NOBILITY. GENTRY, CLERGY, and FREEHOL DERS. of the COUNTY of WESTMEATH, assembled at the Court House, Mu!Ungar, 13th November, 1812, Right Hon. WILLIAM HANDCOCK, in the Chair, Resolved, That we have seen with satisfaction, the Resolo liens entered into by the Protestants of Sligo, Leitrim, and Monaghan, which meet our general approbation. Resolved, That confiding in the Wisdom of Parliament, and not wishing to agitate the public mind, we have hitherto declined making public declaration of our opinions on the subject of the Roman catholic Claims; but when we see those Claims con verted into unqualified demands, we deem it our duty, thus to come forward and avow our sentiments upon this important subject, and the more so, as it has actually been declared in Parliament that the Protestants of Ireland are favourable to Unqualified repeal of existing disabilities. Resolved, That it has been, and is our earnest wish, to live in terms of friendship, amity, and conciliation, with our Roman Catholic fellow subjects; and, possessing those feelings, we would gladly concede every privilege which can be given, consistent with the spirit and principles of the British Constitution, and with the security of our Establishment in Church and State. ' Resolved, '1 hat the Unqualified Repeal of those Laws, on which the remaining Roman Catholic disabilities depend, would be inconsistent with the spirit and safety of the British Constitu tion, and would tend to subvert the Protestant Settlement of :his Country, on which, we are convinced, the connection between Great Britain and Ireland, and ultimately the security of the Em pire, dependr. Resolved, That if the Legislature shall in its wisdom, think proper to grant any further Repeal of those Laws, we hope and trust that such Repeal shall be so guarded, as to afford full and perfect security to our Establishment, which we consider vitally interwoven with the welfare and stability of this Protestant State, and to protect it from all dangerous innovations and en croachments. Resolved, That these being the sentiments of the great body of the Protestant Landed Proprietors, Electors, and other Pro testant Inhabitants of this County, we deem it right to lay the same by Petition, before Parliament when assembled, and in the most respectful manner before his Royal Hghness the PRINCE 'REGENT, whose conduct has impressed us with the most dutiful gratitude and most perfect confidence towards his Royal Highness. Resolved, That a Copy of these our Resolutions, be trans mitted by our Chairman to our Representatives, as expressive of our sentiments, accompanied with a request, that they will pre scat our said Petition to the House of Commons. Resolved, That the Earl of Werrsealru ba requested to pre sent our said Petition to the House of Lords. Resolved, 11'ar an humble Addresste presented to his Grace, CHARLES Duke of RICHMOND, Lard Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland, requ sting his Grace to transmit to his Royal Highness the Px. nes itsdr NT, our Address, toge ther with our humble duty, and expressive of our warm attack. anent to his Majesty's Government in this Kingdom as adminis tered by his Grace.
