Who, in the name of truth, billeted in thepro. Inked neutrality of the Cabinet ? Has there been a . man so stupid—so absolutely embruted by eve-. dulity, as to repose confidence in the assuranciel, so frequently given, that Ministers would not inter✓ fere with the progress of the CATHOLIC Quorum — that it should be left to work its own way—to stand or fall on its own merits, sod that every Member of the Ilonourabk House should bepermittedto give a free vote, writillesenced—unintimidated, Does the man ,exist who has benefited so little by " expe rience and the evidence of facts," as to have placed faith in the declaration ; that the period be tween the Prorogation and the neat meeting of Par liamen4 should be passed by Ministers in acts of conciliation and kindness towards the Catholics of Ireland? The Catholic Board—those who act for and in the name of the best and bravest People on earth, have not, thank Heaven ! been fooled by inch promises and declarations, but if any portion of the community could have been so blinded, the mist is now dispelled, and the monster of Persecution and Intolerance, once more appears in all its original, disgusting, and detestable deformity.— The lie—the cool, deliberate, infamous lie in the Courier, which influenced the decision on Marquis Welleeley's motion, and the other conciliatory pro. seeding, the prosecation If Mr. Atzpatriek, have been followed by the revival of an old Drama—the system of ALARM is resorted to in the hope of de ; etroying the harmony that reigns amongst the Irish . people—of again dividing Catholic . and Protestant, and of making them cut each other's throats for the • love if God t But the trick is too stale; it cannot now, we trust, be played off with effect. It may, however, be necessary and useful, to expose the in sidiois 'policy, and to warn the country of the ap proaching danger. Let the People look to the transactions in Long ford, as detailed in the Dublin Evening Post, of Tussle last—by the way, we trust, the Commander of tie Forces has taken the proper notice of that de-i tail—let the People also look to the first Resolution of the Catholic Meeting of Kilkenny, the cause of , selsich we shall explain , and then they will discover that it is a duty incumbent on them, to guard against the renewed machinations of a dark, intolerant, and Implacable enemy. Previous to the 24th of last month, the ALARMIsTs had been particularly busy in the city and county of Kilkenny—the old story was industriously circulated •-•••• 44 the Catholics were to rise and cut the throats of all the Protestants"—all—all—neither man, woman, nor child was to escape the twentredgcd knife of the Papists I—The alarm, however, made little way till the 21th and 25th, when the nightly guards in Kilkenny were doubled, and each man furnished with twenty rounds of ball cartridge.— The order for this was said to have been received from Dublin Castle, and it is even conffdently as serted, that a person high hi authority in Kil- , kenny, had written to Sir Juux Rummy, request- lug him to abandon Ms country residence, and in stantly to remove his family and plate into the city for safety. The trick failed -4here were only some old Ladies fr ightened, and the Catholic Meeting on the 31st ultimo was numerously attended by Pao- TIISTANT rank, fortune, and talent. Yet, the ! ALARMISTS persevere anti es there is every reason to believe they have high sanction for their base pro- ceedings, this early caution may be useful. We there fore say to the 'liberality and virtue of the land, let no report—no artful insinuation—no foul calumny disturb the harmony so fortunately established be tween Catholic and Protestant—live united—remain firm ! -- Some of the Letters from Lisbon state, that the Expedition which had arrived at Majorca from Sicily had not attempted to land on the Spapish coast, but had unexpectedly and very unaccountably returned again to Sicily. What degree of credit is due to this report we know not. It was reported last night, that a Telegraphic Dis 'Patch had announced an arrival with a pacific over tore from America. This, however, was unfounded ; but an Otlicer has arrived Sir J. Dvcawoavii, with dispatches, relative to transactions on the American coast. It is said, that fifteen sail of ships had been seen, which were at first suppoied to be' French, but proved to be East Indiamen. Ott the one dey that Mr. Liao* arrived V . the P agatielloa, he received a letter frees ht r.Cairorrns, flue British Charge d'Affaires to the Ottoman Court, announcing the ratification of peace between Russia 'and Tut !soy, which took place the day before. . Sir Suss CY Slirrii sailed on Saturday morning for the Mediterranean, in the Tremendous, 74, Captain itOtERT CAMIIIZLL. Sir RICKARD liltAIS is on his passage home. A Meeting of the Lieutenancy was held at Mid lersfield, on Friday last, at which Committees were formed, who will forthwith visit the disturbed dis. tricts, and examine where associations for the preser vation of the peace are formed, and how they are ma, flexed, &c. We extract the subjoined from the Waterford Mirror of Wednesday last:--11, Gentleman of this city has received a letter from it. John's, New foundland, via Liverpool, dated July 16 , which states, that a few days before the letter was dis. patched, the Adonis cutter, of 10 guns, went out on a cruise, and having fallen in with an American priiisteg,.a smart engagement ensued. The cutter, we ere wry to say, is stated to have surrendered, after sufkinidk the loss of many of her crew, who I were killed in the action. On the receipt of this in telligence, such of his Majesty's ships as were at St. ' John's went out in search of the privateer and her prize, with what success is not mentioned. Although there seems to be no reasettah4 ground to doubt the • accuracy of this statement, it arty be proper to men tion, that Stock's Navy List, for the present month (August), gives Portsmouth as the station of the ! Adonis cutter. At the battle of the 22d, the Lady of a Captain of the Royal Fusileers, follow:ed her husband to the scene of action; when she heard of his baring been killed, she hurried among the dead and dying, and found a ball had passed through his head. The back, annually presented Ity his Grace the Duke of NORFOLK, to the May or and Corporation of the Borough of Arundel, was on Wednesday last served op t 6 dinner, in most excellent style, a► the Crown Inn • on which occasion a large pirty of other gentlemen, friends of to • members, were in. cited, and partook of the Isosptahle entertainment. About nine o'clock en the esenis►g of Monday .imensight, a brilliant meteor was observes! in Car lisle, apparently about.4o yards in length and a foot in diameter. It seemed to arise from the north, and when, according to appearance, between the two bastions of the Court Houses, remained stationary fat a fail minute, illeminatlng the street, when it vanished. The uncommon abundance of the approaching bar. vest may saw be considered as a matter of incontest ;hie certainty. The accounts from all parts of the kingdom concur hs justifying this opinion • and we have particular pleasure in observing, that the heavy knurls:ice of the crops throughout the western coun ties has seldom been equalled within the recollection of the oldest person. Neither blight, smut, mildew, or any other injurious visihstion.has yet been witnes sed. The reaping has partially commenced.—(Bath Journal.) In Yorkshire there is the most promising appear-, Ince of a plentiful harvest. At Winchester, at Truro, and throughout the principality of Wales, the crops are as abundant as ever known. In Essex, iodised, especially near Great Dieinsiew, considerabl e damage has beeu done by the late heavy mkt' s the loss eras. tained upon one farm almse hes been estimated at 10001. . Accounts from Wercestembire 'mend** the very destructive progress of the blight, Ste. amongst the plantations ; so much so, that it is tearod they will not produce any hops worth notice. This article has advanced near 100 per mat. shim October last. The hop-duty for the kingdom was anticipated so high is 75,0001. a few weeks age; It is now reduced to 4,0001. A Correspondent informil as, that about three weeks ago, various packages were landed at the London Docks, from a Beardatax vessel, which contained Parisian furniture for the Passel Rusin, of the value of 30,0001,--(Sseedner.)

The ar. suagement of the former was particularly tasteful.
