&la 717, -- o — d - riell of the proceedings, we' refer oar readers to the %counts we have extracted! from 718 De44* firma's' Post. :After • perusing 41mob arils occasion will remain Siirlifysuggestion of ars, to promote those sensations which must arise on the esstempistime of the scene described. Amidst the .confasioa that must have necessarily ensued, and the ,spitiiad indignation that must have been roused in •wattn and Irish patriotic hearts, it is happy and won derful that the accounts were closed without record- tag instanees of rosiness'e that brought on scenes of blood, tad made the streets of Dublin like St. Ireice's4seld.at Manchester. Partakers as every manly mime "asset fail to be of the lively feelings of resent sent whirls must have animated every independent t imed as the occasion, it is still matter of congratula tion to as end to them, that the proceedings on the part a $l. assertors of their rights were closed in peace and is triumph, that the aims of the servile herd were defeated, and the objects of the friends of constitution al itbatty accomplished and crowned with success. Butrset of a letter from Jamaica, Nov. 13 : By the Perthshire which arrived here (tom Sava sills, we have received various accounts of the rela tive iltuations of the contending parties in New Omuta by sea. A short time since, the Spaniards was completely masters of the Independents. The Ceres corvette sailed out of Carthegena in face of the whole blockading squadron, which could not touch her ; and Admiral linos was obliged to run into Sava:Mit', where they weic apprehensive of being attacked by the tipanish ships, which carried abundance of provisions into Cartlicget,a. Other accounts to the michile of Oetober, witidiuc hare just received, repre s:•u• that things have gather a favourable turn fur the Independents. The whole force in Carthegetia only eossists of 660 men. They have, however, abundaece of provisions. BIoNTILLo has received a reinforcement, .41 now cloftely blockades Carthegena. A vessel, wttb 150 Spanish soldiers on board, rose on their of ficers, took the ship, and aft. rwgrds joined the Inde pendents. They are said to be excellent trnni s ; 10, of them being Eiropeans. • A rumour is in circulation that the foreigners now wi London on the part of the Queen are preparing for t weir de,tartnre. I fnot prevented by the severity of the weather, Madame Vassili, it is said, goes :may in the coarse of the weel: Countess Oldi, and several n um...will follow in the course of the week ensuing. .A few only trill remain as visitors ti her Majesty for stone time longer. In case this report is confirmed, and we can percdive no reason to doubt it, it will • afioril conrlusive et idence that no further proceedings against her Majesty are expected by her legal advisers. It is understood that his Majesty will not return from Brighton to Carlton Liao., before the 2eth i n . s•ant, after which a Privy Council will be held, and t.e Royal Speech to both !louses of Parliament, on the °pectins of the sessious, liken into consideration. Duntio, Dec. 30.—1 t hi confidently reported that Mr. Peel has given a rategorical refusal to the pro positions which have been made to him relative to a place in the Cabinet. There are two reasons which have been assigned for this determination on his part ; the firo that he would not act ender Lord Castlereagh ; the second. that lie found Ministers determined to fol low up the business of the Queen, by tom* ulterior nw , asure. in which he was resolved not to embark. Ot the two notions, we really think the first very little entitled to credit. There is no man who could feel his title to eminence injured by occnpying a place which was once filled by the late Lord Melville, and more recently by a much more splendid man, Mr. Canning. If he has refused, we take it for granted that it is on the subject of the Queen he has demurred; and, if so, the next Session of Parliament will be the most stormy in the history of England. It is very probable, if our account from the North of Ireland be correct, that, before the 23d of ,Lannary, Lord Castlereagh will be Marquis of Londonderry, his aged and venerable Parent being in a state that forbids al! .rational hopes of his recovery. In this event, his Lordship cannot take his seat, for, perhaps, the first week of the Session, .as he must vacate the County of Moen, and get himself returned for an English Bo rough. 'llia oe must consider as a most sinister ac cident for Ministers, who are in such need for sup port. Whit Speaker they will have to support the Aittlren—e hat Speaker of weight or of eminence, we are really at a loss to eonjecture.—(Dablin Evening Poar). A Meeting to address the King was held at Carrick f.rges on the ?3d ult. The Address proposed was of t'.e oval kind ; and on this occasion, says that r-spettal)!e Belfast paper, The I, ishmion, the Freemen f Carrickfergus have shewn themselves worthy of the privileges they enjoy. After a free and fair discussion or the points at issue, when the question was called for, their appeared about 23 in favour of the Address, and abont 150 against it.

I . .«utl 'VMS 111101Iu1Ys .n. a This day was held at pursuant to the chard Steele, wk+ bad previously received a Requisi tion to that effect. The object was, an Address to She Kiag, capitative of the loyalty and devotion of the Freeholders of the County. About one o'clock the Chair was taken by Sir RICKARD Slms. After reading the Requisition, the Earl of Howth stood up, we presume, : to move frr a committee to prepare the Address—for it was not pos sible, we believe, even fur those near his Lordship to catch the import of his words. The motion, we con• jecture, was seconded by Lord Frankfort, for his Lord- ship was equally inaudible. Mr. O'Comv act, objected against the appointment of Lord Frankfort—on which he was asked by the Sheriff, whether he was a Freeholder of the County ? Mr. O'Connell gave a must emphatic affirmative. While the conversation was going on, the Committee had retired, and were returned with the Address. It was moved by Lord Howth, and seconded by Lord Frankfurt. Mr. Borne, King's Counsel, stood up to move an amendment. He had proceeded about ten minutes, when while on the topic of his Majesty's bil niaters, he was stopped by Sir Richard Smile, who declared the I inguage inflammatory. A warm dia logue occurred between the parties, but while it vas going on, the High Sheriff, without waiting for the sense of the Meeting, put the question affirmatively, (be did not put it in the alternative,) and declared, amid shouts of the most violent opposition, that it was carried. He then proceeded to dissolve the Meeting, without putting the question of adjournment. Mr. O'Connell observed, that nu question was put; and. addressing the Meeting, said, that as the High Sheril l had vacated the Chair, he would wove Lord Cloncurry in:o it. The enthusiasm with which his Lordship's name was received defies the powerof description. He immediately took the Chair. The High Sheriff remon strated, Lord Cloncurry remained immoveable. The Sheriff said hessust use force. By force only, said his Lordship, will 1 Consent to quit the place in which the Freeholders of the County have put me. The Civil Power, it would appear, hesitated—when the High Sheriff called in the Military. The House was Sas tacdiattly filled with red coats—am Officer approaches! the Choir, cad desired his Lordship to retire He said he would yield only to force—and force was used If this be a specimen of the mode in which Loyal Addresses are to be carried, we believe the Promoters will soon become heartily sick of the experiment. Sir Richard Steele's conduct is totally indefensible, and will most c.itainly recoil on those whom he thought to serve. It was altogi am a most shameful business. The Freeholders turned out of their own house at the point of the bayonet, retired to an adjoining spot, where Lord Cloncurry took the Chair. Another Ad dress, for which we shall make room in a second edi- , don, was moved and asyried—likewise an Address tp, the Lord Lieutenant, complaining of thecanducl ot ths, High Sheriff.—Colonel 'I albot was not present at the, Meeting.—Mr. Hamilton was there, but slunk away when the military were threatened, as did Messrs. Ellis and Shaw, although there were load calls on thew to remain with their constituents, as the army were coming. These are the Defenders of the People's Constitu tional Rights! SECOND EDITION. D. E. Post• Once —Four o'clock. _Asters, wben the Sheriff abruptly dissolved the Meeting, and the Requisitionists began to disperse. Lord CLonettaar was immediately voted into the Chair. Upon which Mr. O'CoNsitu. proceeded to reed 'Mr. Beirne's amended Address, hot he was soon inter rupted by the apperrance of the Military, .who, at the point of the bayonet, turned the Freeholders out of Court, and an Officer removed Lord Cloncurry from the Chair. ____• After the dispersion of •be Meeting, the Indepen dent Freeholders retired to the opposite aide of the road. Lord Clon_nrry still acting as Chairman, when he read the amended address, which was tooted and carried as the Address of the meeting. The following is a copy of the Address:— " We i your Maje4ty's faithful and dutiful subjects, the Noblemen, Clergy, tientlessen, and Freeholders of the comity of Dublin, in County Conrt assembled, beg leave to approach your Majesty with the strongest assurances goes moat dutiful, loyal, and affectionate attachment to your Majesty's person sod family, and of unaltered fide lity and allegiance to that inestimable C )nstitution, which placed your Majesty's Illustrious House on the Throne of this Realm. " That such, our affectionate attachment to your Ka jesty's person, and dutiful allegiance to Vie Constitution, do, as we :noel respectfully submit, deserve the greater consideration from your Majesty, inasnattch,as those sen timents are not diminished by the multiplied distress and ,aggravated miseries of your faithful people of Ireland, ince the measure of the Union—Distress and Misery. the consummation of which we trace to the misconduct and evil counsels of your Majesty's present Ministers, who have eadeavoured to deceive your Royal mind into a belief, that the honest expression of feelings excited by sufferings on the one hand, and unconstitutional pro ceedings on the other, have arisen from disaffection or disloyalty. " Deeply interested as we are, in every e►ent connect. ed with the stability of the Throne. under the sway of the House of Brunswick, and, alive to every cit., am. stance affecting the welfare of all the branches of your Majesty's Illustrious Family, we have felt inexpre‘sihle satisfaction at the termination of the late proceedings in the House of Lords, sincerely hoping that proceedings so dangerous and unconstitutional, never will be revived in any shape." Lord CLONCURRT afterwards addressed the People at considerable length, remarking upon the illegality of the Sheriff's conduct. He recomwended the People to retire peaceably, which would be the sharpest rebuke to those who bad acted so unconstitutionally. 'I be Meeting then quietly dispersed. The proportion of Dependant to Independent Free holders was u One to One Hundred. We proceed to give as full an account as our time and space will permit us, of the Meeting of the Free holders of Dublin, which has been just dissolved. DUBLIN COUNTY MEETING TO ADDRESS THE The Meeting was the most numerous of, any ever remembered in the County. A meeting was held of the Corporation of the bo rough of Kidderminter, on Wednesday last ; the ob ject was not stated before the persons met ; and when assembled the High Bailiff' drew a paper from his pocket which purported to be a Loyal Address, and ran much in the same terms as other productions of a similar nature. On the next day it was discovered the Address could be improved, and therefore a coun terfeit Address will be palmed upon our August Monarch, the one adopted by the meeting having been taken away and another substituted.

This day, pnrsuant to a Relnisition addresned to the High Sheriff, a meeting of the Freeholders took place at the New Court House, Kilmainhatn, for the purpose of voting a loyal Address to the King. One o'clock was the hour appointed, but previous to 12 there were great numbers assembled ; and, lung before the doors were opened, Lord Cloncurry, Mr. Hamilton Rowan, Mr. John Borne, Mr. O'Connell ; with many other distinguished characters, arrived. The Police were in ea, ly attendance, and, when stationed at the Court-house door, received from the High Sheriff, Sir Richard Steele, orders to " admit none but suck as he should point out." The consequence was, a long suspension of the business of the meeting. Judge Day, Hans Hamilton, M. P., Lord Frankford, Mr. \oral, Lord How &c. successively made their entrance good through the windows. At half past one the Sheriff took the Chair, and proceeded to read in a most inaudible manner, the Re quisition, and to state the object of the meeting. After which it was moved, by Lord Howth, that an Address should be presented to his Majesty, which having been seconded by Lord Frankfort, The Sheriff proceeeded to nominate a Committee, and which consisted exclusively of the Requisitionists. Mr. O'Comnsta, said, that he concei►ed the usual course was to put the question after the motion, and to take the sense of the meeting upon it. Several Oentlemen spoke to the same effect. The motion was, notwithstanding, resisted by the Sherif. Lord CLONCVIIKT endeavoured to speak.---[Here thete was the greatest confusion, and loud cries of " hear, hear."] Mr. O'CosistaLt, again made an effort to be heard, and was asked by the Sheriff, " Was be a Freeholder ?" " Yes," replied Mr. O'Connell, 6 , and as loyal and in dependent as any in that Coon, who traded in loyalty and lived upon the taxes, and, from his property and professi•in, had as good a right to be upon the Committee as any one amongst them."
