Resolved, That we, whose Atieestors so e.ninere I v distinguish ed Ineniselves in defeuce of their Religion and Liberties, a-id who sealed with their blood a Capitulation which was most per fidiously violeed, view with emotions of the utmost indignation the intemperate spirit of progressive intolerance that actuated the Administration of the Country, in dil.ersing the General Committee of the Roman Cathcdics of Ireland. assembled in Dublin, on the 2fid day of December last, foe tau sole, end cowtttutional purpose of preparing an :nimble t'etitioa to both house , of the aegistature, adding by this act of ageression. A new and exasperating grievance to those already so long and so patiently endered by Inc Roman Catholics of Ireland. Resolved, That regarding our country with the affection of Irishmen, possessed of hearts whose every feeling hangs upoit interests, we cannot behold withont the strongest sensation; of a:arm, the adoption of measures calculated. at a motoont when the coaetry is beset witn all tire dangers of 1111014 cable hostility, to paralize the energies of the People, and to 'eased the security of the Empire. Resolved, That at this perilous crisis, when not even that shield of public right, the 'trial by Jury, can shelter us from oppression, and when the strongest bulwark of the Constitution has been invaded, we look forward to the mo.nent, when the Restrictions which have been imposed upon that Illostrions Per sonage, the Prince Regent. shall cease, for a Redress of those grievances that would tend to alienate our affections, were they not so strongly cemented to the interests of the Throne, by an unbroken series of lovalty and allegiance. Rootlet], That confiding the management of our Petition to the General Committee of tne Catholics of Ireland, t-nd concnr ring with them in every seteitnent, we feel the most ardent and gratitude to our nommen; and h'ghly-respectable Protes tant fellow-subjects, whose telitired talents have shed a lustre on the cause of Religious Liberty, and whose enlightened liber ality we are anxious - to have engraven on the hearts of our chil dren, as tee best memorial of mutual coefidence., as well as the surest band of union and national defence; end we most firmly rely upon their zealous awl continued co.ope,..itioa in the great work of establishing the Civil and Reliaious Freedom of our Country. Resolved, Tbat we deem the Right of Petition one of the first principles of our (treat Charter, arid the most invaluable bles sing of Civil Liberty; and that any violation thereof is a breach of the Bill of Rigias, which must and ought to be resisted, not only by Catholics and Irishmen, but by all those who derive and claim an inheritance under our glorkeis Giusti inton. Resolver!, That the Larl of Harrington is most justly entitled to the gratitude of Irishmen, as well for lit- condom as a t ieurral Officer. P'S for his liberal and conciliatory Orders, so character istic of tne true spirit of the statesman and of the obiier, wish ing to annex the olive as an honourable appendage to the sword of tee !wet. Resolved, That we never ran sofacirtaly express what we feel it that hi lily revered and da,tingeished Nobleman. the Karl of Fingal', for hi: is be. firm, arid dignified demean oar, is Welt, while it promotes the object or Relit.ejous essentialiy contributes to conciliate the esteem, and to se cure the affection of his Countrymen. Proposed by Mr. Howlby, jun. and seconded by Mr. W. Roche. That the. warmest thanks of this Meeting are eminently due, and are hereby g iven to Lord Viscount tilentworia, and George F. Bruce. Pail. for their truly liberal and eloquent observa tions on this day. and to our other Protestant Diasetiting Bre thren, who so numerously honoured this Meeting with their presence. Mr. Howley having left the Chair, and Jasper White, Esq. being called thaeto, the following Resolution was proposed, and unanimously - agreed to : Re oiced , That the Cilnks of the Mediu, are I.: turned to our late respected Chairinan, for the uniform attec,tioa and ardmir he has evinced upon all occa,ianis, to proilio.e the Catholic cause. We are extremely sorry to learn that Captain Roche, whom we mentioned in a former tiumbor, to have been hounded by a man of the name of Keetfe, expired yesterday evening, after sobering the most excruciating torture. Some circumstances connected with this unfortunate affair. have come to our know ledge. but as the matter must, of course, come very shortly under the consideration of a legal tribunal, we forbear making any statement which could influ ence the decision, or interest the feelings of a Jury. A Coroner's Inquest was held this day on the body, a uel ,:fter a tolcuet deliberatiuu returned the follow in Died bg a bag jit d by James Chroniqe.) On Wearies:lay evening last, Mr. Jo.,eph Lancas ter. the Inventor of the Royal British System of At:cation, delivered a Lecture to a very respectable assomhfy, at. the Thoisel, in Kilkenny, which was rec: , ived with marked attention and approbation :- 1: Ormonde and Carrick wero among the com p:tn.; --and we congratulate our readers, on hating to inform them, that Lord ()monde has engaged Mr. Lancaster to procure a teacher for a school to be established in Kilkenny, and that there is a disposi tion in many respectable persons here to second the benevolence of that much respected Nobleman.— ( /I:tierlert/ Mirror.) JOSEPH LANCASTER. This Gentleman's Lecture was attended last Tues day nr,irt by nearly 1000 persons. Ile detailed his plan w i!lt the perspicuity and simplicity, whiuh are the it:fill:1:10 marks of a great mind. Ott the nature of Mr. 1,::11c:1-Ler's System, we need not dilate. It is known to most of our Readers. We ietroduce the :atbject here solely for the purpose of mtltntioning, that wlt,:ti the benevolent quaker alluded to a con ver:atiott he had with the King, his Majesty's name wt..; tot iced with long and continued acclamations. Mr. E. owtster seemed sensibly - affected, and observed ! that he- should carry with him to England inspres • s ions of the loyalty and warmheartedness of the Irish! People, which neither the bigots in religion nor poli ! +las should ever obliterate. The Edinbur,gh Re- f yiewers have observed that Miss Edgworth has been I ! more useful to her country, than any or all of her! Isex together. We know not what other individual : we should select, who has bneti of such general use as Mr. Lancaster.—(Dab. Evenin Post.) Our readers will observe with pleasure, that an Aggregate Catholic Meeting for the County of Kerry, will be held on next Saturday week; tit Tralee.— Thus will the unwise policy'of Ministers, combined with the indepe,pdent example set by the inhabitants of the County and City of Cork, call forth the ex pression of Catholic sentiment in every County of our Province.—(Cork Chronicle.) i' . h A letttr from Plymouth of the 9th, contains far ther particulars of the attempt made by the boats and launches, armed and manned with 120 prime seamen and marines of the Co lossus, of 74, to cut some vessels sheltered in a deep bay in Basque Roads, defended by a line of heavy batteries and gun-boats. Unfortnnately the business failed, owing to a strong tide setting in -shore, though the utmost skill and gallantry were displayed by our brave fellows ; but the fire of grape, canister, and musketry was se heavy, that some of •the boats wer sunk, and some got ashore : six men were killed, and the rest wound ed or taken prisoners. It is understood the gun-boats were concealed behind some rock, and made their ap pearance in line-of-battle quite unexpectedly, jest as our boats bad reached the enemy's vessels. The 'Colossus has returned to Plymouth toget fresh, lannebes and boats in lieu of those destroyed. , , ..:/_ The Proprietor of the Sr.incs.v.4N fr . — , this op portunity of addressing himself to the advertising part of the Community, many of whom arc little acquainted with the naturtr - and extent of the cir culation of Newspapers, and who, from lung habil or uth:rwise, often prefer those of small circula tion, to others that are very extensive. It would be a painful task to point out the exact number of each Journal printed in London, but it might be advantageous to those who have properly to dispose of, either by PUBLIC SALE or PRIVATE CON TRACT, to make themselves acquainted with it. Of Pile there has been a complete change in the system of Newspapers. During the last ten years the Evening Papers have obtained great circulation, and, in many instances have sup planted the Morning Papers; they are, in fact, now generally read, both in Town and Goan try, especially in Reading-Rooms, Hotels, Ct i t:.' fee-Houses, and Public-Houses, where the STATESMAN is almost universally taken in, and upon a moderate computation, has not less than Twenty Thousand Readers in London, exclusive of the Country. Lorzia, has no wish to injure the property of others, zda• have risked their fortunes in a fair and honourable way ; but it is much to be lament ed that, of late years, several Newspapers have been established by JOINT STOCK ComPeNzEs, or rather by destructive Combinations contrary to every principle of law and justice, and which, at no distant period, it is to be hoped, will be com pldely abolished.

George and Defence. — Our Correspondent at Yarmouth mentions, that the nesir'x arrived there on Saturday morning from the Te‘el, without having brought any accounts of the fate of these vessels. We have received some Spanish Papers to the 15th ult. but they do not contain any article of news. Dublin Papers reached us tLis morning to the loth instant. They contain the proceedings of the Ag gregate Meeting of the Catholics, held at Limerick, on Monday last, the Resolutions passed at which we have inserted in a preceding column. Respecting the al leged " Treasonable Association," said to have been recently discovered in Ireland, the Dublin Ecru ing PJst, of the 9th inst. contains the following re marks in addition to the article from that Paper, which appeared in the S fATESILIN of Friday last :—" Upon this subject we have little to add to the state ment which appeared in our last. That state ment, a few osttscioNs excepted, has been copied iuto the Castle Prints, but without attempting, in I the slightest degree, to impeach its truth ; which Xmounts„ in fact, to a full admission of its accuracy. It is to he presumed, that the Irish Government proceeds in the investigation of this mysterious affair ; and, we trust, that the prompt, loyal, and dignified conduct of the Catholics on this occasion, will insure a corresponding dignity, and a con stitutional moderation on the part of Administration. Various circumstances, in truth, various very myste rious circumstances touching the conspiracy, have been stated to us; but until we can give them to the world as facts, we shall decline agitating the public mind with any matter resting on mere report, how ever respectable the quarter from whence it may pro, coed. We understand KEEGAN, the school-master, alluded to in our butt, has been committed to the Tower. Ile did not abscond, but continued, we hear, to appear in public till visited by a Magistrate !

We under, stand the testimony of these highly respectable Geo. *Pr% oily goes t9,9oFrOorigc the i,c4tOERRO Ittch • .1 " "" ..v•-•••"- appeared in Th;: DO, Epi ?ling Mht It is with infinite plea:7are we have to add, that tl.v country is peilectly tranquil, and that no appretn•L sion of public diaturbance can be reasonably enhu tained." -..1.1.- - In another part of oar Paper we have inserted a Letter to Mr. Secretary RYDER on the alarming state of the Metropolis, which we earnestly mom. mend to the perusal of that (kutleman, 8s it contaiuc a clear elucidation of the true causes of Our present defective system of Police, and points out most dit. tinctly the remedies which ought to be immediate* applied, to effect a cure of this overgrown and alarming evil—an evil which, notwithstanding a: 1 that we hear about the activity of our Magistracy, seems to be gaining upon us daily. We hav e just learned, that last night, betwetu nine and tau o'clock, ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ROB AND MURDER took place to the Borough. The house of Mr. PRYOR, boot and shoemaker, No. 72, St. Marge. ret's.hill, ‘Hts entered by two men, who picked the lock of the outer door. The servant girl, who had been down to the cellar, observed them on her corn. ing up, and supposing one of them to he her master, she asked him if he was going out. On this the ill. Lain turned mend and swore, that if she spoke a word be would cut her throat, She immediately flew to the door and cried murder, when one of the fellows rushed cut and shut the door, while the other ; who remained inside, endeavoured to cut the girl's throat. Her mastee hearing a noise came down stairs, but being much alarmed, and the place dark, the barbarian effected his escape, while he was backwards seeking for a light. The servant- girl's throat wits cut about an inch deep, and brr arm lacerated. She likewise received a violent I:lfya cn the head, which brought her to the ground, but we are happy to hear she is not considered in a ilan- crous state. A quantity of boots and shoes were packed up, ready to be carried away, and we are sorry to state, that there is little chance of the serv,,nt girl being able to identify the person who attempted her life, as he had a crape on his face. We have not heard that any of the watchmen or police orLers wer3 near the place to give their assistance. In fact, till those horriLle murders and public depredations, which have of late excited universal dismay among all ranks, take place at the very moment we have emu, mitred the safety of our lives and property to the4t.; guardians of the night, who, we are told by the Courier, are sufficient to protect us! I This Jour nal, and a few others, who apn ifs principles, have raised a most contemptible and hypccritical cry upon the subject, and have even gone so far as falsely and ungenerously to 'insinuate that we wished to deliver cv cr the capital to military cos, tody.—We never called for any other permanent system than an effective l'aevetrrivs Pourer, for the protection of our lives and property against the attacks of midnight ruffians, whose outrages, as we have repeatedly observed, continue nightly to in. crease, and who never hesitate to attempt murder whenever they experience resistance. We have tie doubt urged the necessity of employing a military force in the mean time, until a regular and effective system can be matured. But in recommending this, we expressly mentioned it as a temporary expedient only, and that under the controul of the civil pozaer. Weeks have passed away since the horrid mur. tiers of the MASRS and the W ILL:mows, 1 yet nothing has been done calculated to prevent a repetition of the same scenes of blood; and it will re quire some weeks longer before Parliament can resolve on any thing effectual. Are we then to remain in our present awful state of conster, nation and dread, merely because The Courier, and the other hirelings of our Home Secretary, have been glled upon to defend L':im from the too well-founded accusation of negligence—gross negligence in the discharge of his duty? Let Ministers look to this—+ let them beware how they rouse the indignation of , a people, upon whose civil liberties they have al. ready so shameftdly encroached. Oppression may be borne a while—political prostitution may 'stalk ~abroad, and usurp the place of patriotism anct virtue. But when a Government becomes so profligate as to neglect the personal safety of a peo ple, and leaves them a prey to midnight assassipation, it may be a question how far they ought any longer to depend upon them, or neglect to employ those I means for their own defence, which, by law and by nature, they are fully warranted to do. We have all the right to possess ourselves of arms, and at no period of the history of the country, was there a greater necessity for exercising this right, I than at the present moment. Our persons and pro perty are considered unworthy the care of those to whom so important a trust has been confided ; we have therefore no alternative but that' of protecting them ourselves.
