BRITIS!! cAi T tfatic Assocrknos. ► . •uth . .: ~r Yesterday an open Meeting of the Committee Odle above A scociotion senc held at the Crown and Anchor T..vern, ti's On the motion of Mr. Rosser:, Lord &actosar. was unanimously edited to the ChAr. • The Cum it NIA N slid. he felt great pleasure in taking the (71inir, but regictted that an iinpertant engage ment w , ,t1:4 compel ;tiro to leave it at an early hour. • Mr. Br.ouNT.,- the Secretary, said, that since the last Meeting the Committee had- not been inactive. The cause of . CAttolit'ErriatioieratiOn had occupied not only their - attention, but also the attention of the public. No less than 32,000 tracts had been published by them, in:ended as antidotes to the spirit which was sought to be excited against them. Though public clamour, to a ce. mitt extent, had not been invoked in vain, yet the talent and sense of the country was entirely* in their foto. r. He then read an article from the Edinburgh Review on the sra•ject of the Catholic Claims. The object of their Meeting was to present a Petition to Par liament for Emancipation. The different Local Com mittees kid recommended the measure, and it was proposed to divide . London into sixteen districts, ap pointing six persons to each, to be employed to col:act from their Catholic Brethren a hand for the support of the Defence Committee. Mr: B. concluded by reading an account of the funds of the Society. Mr. BUTLER then rose to pope the first resolotion, to which lie considered there could be no objection. Whenever the petiiion of the Catholics was preiented, • he trusted it would contain an unqualified denial of the imputation rnade•against them, that their allegiance was, divided beta e'en his Majesty and the Pepe. He was fbrprised that such a charge bad ever been made against them, and still more •to find that it was per. ststed in. The Catholic Prelates had already furnished ar document proving the falsehood of the accusation. In-1791, -Pope Pious VI. wrote to the Irish Prelates, that Catholics were not allowed to break faith with heretics, or to hold a divided allegiance, and that any attempt to murdir Protestant Princes was a most de. testable and abominable crime. When his present Majesty came to the throne, the Catholics sent an address to him, in which they assured bean that he had their lull and undivided alegiance. Holding a divided alLigiarice a as the only ti ing now alleged against them, but which he would never ceahe to deny. The late Mr. Earke had said, " Let a man tell his story every day, and he uould be sure to convince his hearers at last.". Let them adept 'that plan, and he would say— " Magnu est veritas et pi evalebit." . Rasor.virs, That the British Catholics Jo Petition the Legislature. to restore to them all the rights and privileges of British Sutjects. They cannot allow a &bald!) of Parliament to pass over unmarked by their remonstrances on the unmerited privations and humilia tions they are condeninetrto bear. In true and undivided alle . .giancekto their Suvrreign, fidelity to their engagements, and dtvoced obedience to the laws, they yield to none; and neither in their own case, nor in that of any of their fellow-subjects, can they con sent to consider religious opinions as fit objects fur penal infliction. Mr. GAGE seconded the ft-solution, which was afterwards put and carried unanimously. . The Noble Lord then left the Chair, and Mr. BLOUNT suc ceeded him. Dr. CuLt.tna then read a retition f.wnded on the above Resolution--after which, he said, he need not assure the Meeting that he did not hold a divided rifle. Risme. He would not sactifice his principles for popu larity, or any Wier motive. If the Pope wished him to hold such au allegiance, he would withdraw from the Church altogether. Those were the principles of his .10 -art, by which he would ever abide. The Cstholie Church was essentiAlly loyal, and he would sooner submit his neck to the common hangman, than refuse to George the Fourth one single atom of that allegiance' which he owed him—(Hear.) Mr. F. CANNING said he had another petition to pro pose, as an .ameodun kit, agrei.able to the Resolution , [issed at the Public Meetin , in June last, calling for the vt-opeiwion of all liberal Dissenters, and he wished that party to jo:n in it. He could see no objection to such an union, hecause the parties differid on some religious topics. They had not met to discuss any po lersticAl points of controversy, but as persons cruelly aggrieved by laws, which not only affected them, but the Dissenters also, although not to so great a degree, and of which they sought for the repeal. They petitioned not as Catholics, but es men suffering privations on account of their cunsc entious opinions. Ile concluded by r. ading Ins Resolutions and Petiticin, and propcsed' them•for adoption. Mr. E 615031 secontlatl the motion. The Honourable Mr. Pants said be should support the amendment, because he thought every man ought Wheat liberty to worship GOD as lie thought proper, t.ee from any legal restraint; and to prove ther sin cerity they ought to petition that every other sect might have that relict which they played for thenitelves. He regretted that the abominable cry al 4. No Popery" had again been lased, not for the good of the country, but to support an illiberal and narrow policy, aid to cramp the energies of the Lmpire. Doctrines had been made for the Catholics which they aid not b•:iieve, and it was their duty to c rue forward manfully disclaim them.

CHAMBER.% _ Mr.-OwriatiT opened this petition. It prayed .that a deed or will, made by a Lady, might he conettned ' according to the laws of Scotland. The testattii was born in Scotland, but in early infancy came to Eng.' land. In the course of her lifetime, she was in the habit of visiting Scotland very often ; and on one occa sit.n, whilst there, she made the deed or Will in que:.- tit.n, giving the bulk of her property to Sir Alexander. Anstruther. It happened that Sir Alexander died before the testatrix, leaving his Lady his• executrix, who was the present plaintiff, claim•ng in right of her chil dren. A Mrs. Campbell was permitted to take out letters of administration to the testatrix, merely for the purpose of distributing the property to those entitled; and she, with a Mr. Fraser And Mr. Chambers, were the defendants in the cause. Upon the cause coming on to be heard, the Court entertained a doubt whether the gilt to Sir Alexander was not lapsed, and upon that point sent certain questions to the Prerogative Court; ftom the opinion uf that Court upon those questions, the Learned Counsel considered that the Judge had misunderstood the point. Ilis ilexeue wished to see the opinion of thrTrerogative Court. Mr. OLIPSIANT sail, it appeared that the Etclesiasti cal Court had thought, all parties had agr.ed th:it Mrs. Campbell should take out letters of administration, and , that therefore she was entitled to the prop sty. It was true all parties had agreed she should take out letters of administration, but only for the purpose of admi nistrating the properly to those entitled, and it was to:- this Court now to say who these individuals were. . Mr. Soucyros-Giusast. and Mr. flaws said, they did not expect this wu coming on • for argument to-day: His HoNourt intimated, that the P.erogative Court had thought the gift to Sir Alexander was lapsed; but if Counsel were not prepared to argue it to-day, it might stand till a day on which they would be prepared. It wu then agreed that it should stand for Monday next. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Lurvasii SI. . - THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE BANK OP =MM. LORD BYRQN AND ROUSSEAU. . .

Besides Rou•seau's way of life, his country, his manners, his whole character, were so very dif ferent, that I am at a loss to conceive how such a com parison could have arisen, as it has done three several limes, and all in a remarkable mantier—l forgot to say that ire was also short-sighted, and that hitherto my eyes have been the contrary to such a degree that, in the largest Theatre of Bologna, I distinguished and read some busts and inscriptions painted near the stage, from a box so distant, and so darkly lighted, that none of the company (composed of young arid very bright ,eyed people some of them), in the same box, could Mike out; ;letter, and thought it was a trick, though I had never keen in thit Theatre before. Altogether, I consider myself justified in thinking the comparison not at all well founded; I don't say this out of pique, for Rousseau was a great man, and the thing, if true, was flattering enough ; but I have no idea of being pleased with a chimera. • A letter from Rome, of the 12th of January, an nounces the arrival in that capital of Plenipotentiaries from Mexico. The two Envoys received the most friendly welcome, and it is hoped their negociations will not be fettered by the machinations of the Spanish Court. • The object of the Embassy is to procure the establishment of a Patriarch in Mexico, the nomination of an Apostolic Vicar, and a definitive arrangement of the Bishoprics there.—French Paper. Yesterday evening, about four o'clock, the Royal Fly Van, which runs from London to Portsmouth, drew up at Newgate, mad took from thence a number of con victs, for the purpose of conveying them to the hulks at Portsmouth. There were some remarkably genteel looking female inside; the men, all of whom travelled outside, were heavily ironed. They mounted the Van in good spirits, not displaying any dissatisfaction at their departure. A man, named John Nose, has been committed to the Old Bridewell, Devizes, charged with stabbing and maiming George Hillier, at Horton. The poor fellow lies in a very dangerous state. The Bill abolishing religious tests in Maryland, corn ' monly called the Jaw Bill, has passed the Senate almost unanimously, and, it is supposed, will pass are Lower House without much opposition. Monday. se'nnight, a collection of wild animals was opened for exhibition at Mold, near Chester, when, owing to the carelessness of the keepers, or the inade quacy of the security, a large leopard escaped front the caravan, dashed across the street, through a large concourse of people, and fastened upon a youth about 15 years of age with his claws, by the breast and back, which are much torn, and then proceeded to fasten on his face, one side of which the furious animal actually tore off and devoured before the poor boy could he re leased from his fangs ! This was at last effected by the keepers, but the sufferer was left in such a state as to leave no hve but that death would speedily terminate his misery. The Magistrates have committed the keeper to prison, and served the concern with a Welsh ejl ctment.

Tuesday sz nnight, Mr. Coles, of Milford, near South ampton. returning from shooting wild fowl, concealed his gun behind some sacks of flour, in the corner of a passage in his house. Unfortunately, a lad about 15 years of age, his son in law, had been sent to fetch something from this passage, in search for which he discovered the gun, Which he imprudently took from its hiding place, and pointed it in jest to a butcher's boy, who was taricittrg in a shop on the opposite side of the way; fortunately for him, however, the dreadiul engine was bte. halt cocked, and this probably saved his lite.

His name, he said, was William Batts. He had been clerk to ,Nit. Cohen, of the Stock Exchange. His complaint was against the resPerial Distillery Company.

This was an action brought by the defendant in error to recovrr from the plaintiffs in error a sum of stock, standing in the name of the defendant in error in the books of the Bank of England, but which had been drawn out by the brother of the defendant, by means of a forged power of attorney. The case was tried in the Court of Common Plers, whim the defence set up was, that the defendant in error had, after he was aware of the forgery, not given notice. to the. Bank for six months. A verdict was found for the Bank of Eng land upon the second and fourth counts of the declara tion, and for Mr. Davis upon the first and third counts, upon which error was assigned. Mr. Serjeant Boaanctuvr having been heard thi s s day for the plaintiffs in error, and Mr. TINDAL for the defendant in error, The Court was of opinion, that the first and third counts were bad, and therefore pronounc ed judgment for the plaintiffs in error.

Mr. Serjeant WILDE, on the part 'of the Warden of the Fleet, moved the Court for a rule to shew cause why the defendant should not be discharged from that prison? The defendant was already dischargeable, but it was so'contrived, that in order that he might still remain in the prison, a new detainer was laid on him for 3004 at the suit of the plaintiff. This was supposed to be a fictitious demand, made at the instance of the' defendant, for the purpose alleged ; for, at the time the detainer was filed, the defendant and plaintiff were in conversation together in one of the rooms of the prison. The Court had recently made a rule that such pi isoners as were superseded should be forthwith discharged, and the continuance of this defendant in the prison would be in violation of that rule.—A rule to shew cause was granted. At twelve o'clock the Court rose. and the Lord Chief Justice Bur soon after sat. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JANUARY 11.
