Unless the same obstacle remains in a certain q uarter, which delicacy forbids us to mention, we are not aware of any ground upon which the Ca tholic claims can be now resisted. Were the public mind unsettled, and men's opinions ificiat, moderate seen might dread the heat and violence which might arise from the discussion of the question; bur, in the present state of Ireland, no such consequence can be apprehended. There have been times, too, when lemon I; lc assumed the mask of reform ; but none !".1: 1/4114Ve or a fool could entertain any such ei the present measure. The men who :lave undertaken it, the manner in which It has been conduced, and the time when it is brought forth, all distinaly shew, that it has no object in view but that which it professes; and peso - vi ;I an objet more loyal, constitutional, and wise. 1. was intended by the Union to conso lidate the two countries in heart, spirit, and force ; to reduce their population into one uniform mass of loyalty and brotherhood.. Without Catholic ernancipatinn this end cannot be obtained, and the Union must ever remain Impede& and in complete. It may be urged, no doubt, that in the whole of the present proceedings, there has been no public elation by the Catholic Body at large, by resolutions. or aelual delegation; but this ob jedtion can hare no weight. The state of the press, in Ir 4and, and the Convention w i n, rendered both imprakeicable. The spirit of the country, and the perfect unanimity of the proceedings, amount to a virtual sanaion. Catholics of the highest respeaa bility, from all parts of the country; attended the meetings, and form the Sub-Committee of 40, now sitting at Dublin. The form may be alesent, but they have the spirit, the life, and the substance. There are ito:four millions of Ca th olic names to tke pet'tion, but there are four trillions of Catholic !...eti ei the cause. r-e 7 long dearth of foreign news, we have at • a supply, b 7 the arrival of Paris : • •.- the 3d, and Dutch Journals to the 7th in- • ; -v cun:irra the report of tl:e capture i • • J slo'Jfi c I war, and the flat u. • . he: in the Mediterranean. —la the unmher of vo- which have thus fallen into the enemy's hands, as well as in the de scription of the ships by which they were con• voyed, the l!onireer is guilty of exaggeration and incorreßness. The numher of the fleet could not have exceeded thirty, and their convoy were the Arrow sloop of war, as we on Saturday stated, and a bomb. The resirtance riade by the Arc It• is honourable to the Officers and men of that vessel. 'Sante details of the attion are iven in the Mitettrur of the Ist. and the minor Paris Journals of the 2d instant, in which it is admitted that she behaved with the greatest gallant; y. The engagement lasted an hoot- and a qttarter, wh-n, after losing near fifty men, thirty of whom were wounded, she was compelled to strike to L' n, emip irL,r. The bomb, after an anii.)2which lasted quarter of an hour, struck to the other frigate, L'lrores4e. The French frigates that made this capture, were part of cue Toulon Fleet, which, ac cording to the Ildimagar, sailed from that port on 'he 19th cf January; and, after having been four days at sea, was compelled to return to Toulon by a violent storm It consisted of eleven or twelve sail of the line, with a number of frigates, and light vessels, havin g a body of troops on board, under the com mand of General L•VILISTON, and was probably destined for Egypt. Lord Net.srmi, who was with an equal force off the South Western Coast of Sicily, appears to have beer well apprised of the move ments of the enemy, and probably the dread of him, mate than the storm, induced them to return to port. Upon the 11 Lb of last month, a Deputation from the Legislative Body presented their address to Bo n ‘r A ere, upon the suhjetct of his late pacific over ture to England. His answer is conceived in his .ual style of hypocritical cant, and affeetation of btosanity. The " Western Family" cf Europe still continues his favourite theme. d Place him only at the head of it, and be will treat all the other Kings and Priaces, as his poor relations, and kindly leave them their "mu of pottage ; but let them stand in the way of his ambition, and this philan thropic and benevolent family man will murder a Duke of Etrontaia in every ditch in Europe. The Farce of the Coronation at Paris having had its run in that city, 'Botta►sars means to bring it out at Milan, with new scenery, dresses, and decima tions, under the title of " The Kingdom of Lom bar4ll." The Itsilian Repoblic is to assume that name—and brother Jesse's has been offered the Ent part I but we understand he has refused, l and that NaroLzow will be obliged to enaO the hero of the piece himself. The Poet, who is also to perform 'a principal chara&er, Wa% ex paled with the rest of the theatrical company at Milan, in the course of last month. It was expeted that the Committee of the I-louse of Lords would have agreed, on Saturday, to semi• Resolutions upon the four first articles of charge against Mr. Justice Fox; but they were prevented from sitting, in consequence of the length of the debate on Friday. They will probably come to a determination this day. It would not become us to anticipate the final result. • At present, the parties who are come from Ireland to substantiate the charges, are in high spirits. Should Mr. Justice Fox be required to answer them, we understand he means to condua his own' defence in person. It is an old saying, that the Lawyer who pleads his own cause has a fool for his client; but that will not be his case Mr. Justice Fox is one of the ablest and manliest advocates tlrat the Irish Bar has produced for many years. It is also impossible that any English ad vocate, be his talents ever so superior, could so well Understand and enforce that equity arising from the state of the country, which must govern and direct the discretion of a Judge upon his circuit, in the exercise of his painful, and, we are sorry to add, from the late convulsions in Ireland, his dangerous duty.

A meeting of Lord Lieutenants.of Counties, and Officers of Militia, was held on Thursday last. when a resolution against the enlistment of men from the militia into ike regulars was entered into. To obviate the objection, it has been proposed to Mr. Pitt. by Lord Rosters', that the English Militia be reduced to 40.000 men, and the Scotch to 11.000, for tl.e purpose of affording an opportunity to the men discharged to sneer into the regulars--a prepo sition of wbtch the rimming eseat.i sa some lupe.% to arprove. id. he ed ud to he 1.0. • • ) t. ) ‘o• .1 GLEE On Saturday rite Otte Club held their last meet ing but two for this season, at the Crown and An chor Tavern, STEPHEN GROOM mon g, Esq. in the Chair. re spotted snakes, by STEVEN , ' followed the Stock Glee, and was sung with good effea by Mas ter KELLNER, Gosc, ELLIOT, and SALL.

His Majesty being seau4 on the Throne, the Princes and Grand Dtgnitaries took their places in front of the Throne ; the Great Chancellor and the Grand Treasurer were placed est his right and left. The Grand Master of the Cere monies having taken the orders of the barrow. then invited successively the Prince.and Grand Dig nitaries to approach the Throue, to receive from the hands of His Majesty the decorations which bare been presented by the Great Chancellor and the Gr Ind Treasurer. The Princes and Grand Digal- Larks. having afterwards taken their accustomed places on the light and left of the Throne, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies introduced one after the other the great Officers, comprised in the Imperial Decree of the 12th of this month.
