I have seen the e „ t u Catholic soldier, rernote from 114 own country, in his aorat state—l mean by natural state, where he was "robot goaded to resistance by the oppression of one side, to - ex • hence of the other.

The poor honest, usto&n , litig, bogtrotting, Catholic Pat, was throughout Hindustan styled by the Mu3selmen and Hindoo, a gentleman, on account of the deference he paid to their religious prejudices, conduct quite the reverse of bigotry. My much calumniated countrymen, if the ster ling attributes of thy real character were but half as well known as thy imputed fault, and frailtits are exaggerated and magnified, you would not now be excluded and ex comm►lnicated from the privileges of the British Consti tution ! Having returned to Europe, and retired from the service, intending to turn my sword into a ploughshare, I settled in my native country, fondly anticipating to en joy during the remainder of my life, the sociable convi vial intercourse which characterised my countrymen be fore I went out to India. But where did I take up my abode ? In the most distracted spot of this most distracted land, in the county of Monaghan. It is fo reign to the object of the pres .ut meeting to enter more into the state of that county, further than to observe there are in it two contending p rrties burning with in furiate revenge against each other ; and I regret, for the credit of 'the religion I belong to, the established church, to add, that some ministers of the gospel came from a distance to attend a Brunswick meeting at Monaghan, ad dressed the multitude in the streets, composed of yeomanry and Orangemen, many of them armed, arging them on_ to violence, abusing the nobleman, the possessor of the soil on which they stood, in his absence, in terms that would disgrace a Billingsgate fishwoman, and uttered ca lumnies and unfounded accusations.—(hear, hear.)—l do not utter these words hastily or carelessly; I speak them advisedly ; these assertions can be proved . ;- the proof stands on record.—(Hear.) --I now ask your Grace, 1 ask any nobleman here—l appeal to every individual under this roof, he his political or religious creed what it may, can Ireland long continue in this state? must not these contending parties come into contact sooner or later? what can. prevent it but to extension of civil and religious liberty ? If were, not trespassing too much on your time, 1 should wish io advert, in a few words, to a passage in die Duke of Wellington's letter 'so that respectable and venerable Prelate the Catholic Primate of Ireland. What I alln.le to is, where speaking of the Catholic Question his Grace says, "bury it in oblivion."— His Grace might as well attempt to bury in oblivion the fame of his own warlike achievements ; he might as well endeavour to expunge from the page of British history the proud and triumphant record of Waterloo. Mr. Jour: POWER, of Kilfizr, said, as long as the. country is oppressed, no man should he neuter ; and it is oppresstd as long as it is divided by laws which make the Catholics discontented and the Protestants insecure. Sir THOMAS ESMONDE seconded the resolution, and said, the Catholics would adhere to the parting injunction of the late Viceroy, and be trusted their moderation would testify their gratitude. (Cheers.) Mr. WYSE, in proposing the 13th resolution, call ing on the io-operation of the Irish Members in the ensuing Parliament, observed, that we are all committed to a common effort —we are all ar rayed against a common enemy, the enlargement of the great sphere of national intelligence—the more complete indemnification of every man's interests with the interests of the country, is our • grand object. 3 his is the purport of the resolution which I propose to you ; it is a treaty of co-operation between Catholic and Protestant.--(Loud cheering.) The Hon. Mr. PRESTON moved a resolution relative to a petition to the s Duke of Wellington and the Ministry. Seconded by Mr. Robert Roe. - Mr. CIIALONER moved a resolution of thanks to the Protestant Noblemen and Gentlemen whe promoted the dinner to Lord Morpeth. In doing so he was sustained, because he came there at the request of Lord Fitew•illiam, who was not unknown to them—(loud cheers)—to express that Nobleman's sentiments, with which his own cordially coneurred. There Were many observations made of striking import that day; bnt he could not help, particu larly noticing the speech of Mr. Berwick: He had been sixteen years a Member of the House of Commons—he had heard the question often debated,--but he had never heard abler arguments than he heard from Mr. Berwick that day. (Cheering.) Mr. HAMILTON Rows N seconded the resolution. Mr. O'CoNNnI.L - - . 1 move that the Duke of Leinster do leave the Chair and that the. Earl of Miltown do take it. Lord CLONCURRY seconded the motion. • Mr. O'CONNELL—I shall propose a resolution which every man in the meeting Will, lam sure, second. (A laugh.) hire resolution of thanks en our Noble Chair man, the Duke of Leinster. (Loud and continued cheer ing, and waving of hate.) This is a great day for Ireland. (Loud and continued cheering.) It brings us back to nearly fifty years ago. This is the year 1182 renewed. Here they are, the generous Protestants, not to save them selves—although it really would serve themselves, for they would be included in the general happiness and pro sperity—but their generosity makes them forget their own interests in nobler feelings ; they support our liberties upon the broad and universal principle of making consci ence free, and Ireland tranquil. (Loud cheers.) What a galaxy of genius? What a corruscation of intellect have not these noble sentiments developed? and it has ap peared as if the highest in rank were still more exalted in intellectual endowments. (Hear.) —I can hardly, among the eminent, single out any one as pre-eminent. But still I cannot help noticing one bright spirit which seemed to shed a radiant light over our deliberation ; I allude to Mr. Ber-, wick, and what makes that exhibition more delightful ; that which attaches to it a classic interest, is the recollec tion that he is the nephew - of our immortal (jrattan. I beard a friend say, just now, that it would be impossible much longer to keep the people tranquil. Were any thing wanting to ensure the t.ubordivation of the people, it would be found in the affection they have for the Marquis of Anglesea, and a desire to follow his advice. I can never forget his last words ; perhaps I ought not to mention them, as it might appear connected with my name in a way calculated to excite personal vanity. But still I can not withhold the repetition of sentiments which do the lustrious Marquis so much honour. " Mr. O'Connell," said he, " may think he loves Ireland best, but I love Ireland better." Have I not now a spell-word to tran quillize my countrymen ? I have but to use the name of Anglesea, and the tranquillity of a grateful people is certain. Mr. &mu. said, in compliance with the directions of the Committee, I second Mr O'Connell's resolution ae specting the Duke of Leinster. This is the time to make a great and new impression —Ireland is in the crisis of her political fortunes. We must not be contented with a reiteration of our former appeals—we must prove that the condition of Ireland is every day generating new evils, and producing more formidable reasons in favour of redress. I look to the union of Catholics and Protestants as an argu ment, whose logic will be irresistible. The groundwork of that union has been laid to-day, let the structure be raised to-morrow.—(Loud cheers.)—When (lid a confe derated people fail to attain their object? When were seven millions of united men ultimately foiled in their freedom ? Ireland has been long knocking at the gates of the Legislature, and has disturbed the Slumbers of the Ca binet—let her repeat her blows with a gigantic atom, and they will give admission to the mighty* supplicant, if it were only to relieve themselves from the thunder of her knocking- —(Loud cheers.) The meeting then adjourned. The followingliSt of resolutions 17as proposed to the meeting, which, as will be seen by our report, had given its concurrence to the first six : " 1. That no portion of our fellow-snbjects are more determined than we are, to maintain the prin ciples which placed the House of Brunswick on the Throne of these realms." • " 2. That these principles are founded upon the basis of civil and religious freedom." " 3. That being personally interested in the. con dition, and sincerely anxious for the happiness of Ireland, we feel ourselves called, at the present alarthing juncture, to declare our conviction, that. the disqualifying laws respecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, which in earlier periods were eonsidered essential to the maintenance of the Protestant constitution and religion, have, through the enlightened character of the times, ceased to be so, and may with safety to that constitution be repealed." " 4. That from the progress of wealth, intelli gence, and liberality, which so pre-eminently charac terises the present age, the continuance of those dis qualifying laws operates most injuriously as a bar to the cessation and oblivion of political discord, and to that union of sentiment and interest, on which the internal ,peace and prosperity of a nation can alone permanently rest." " 5. That, with respect to Ireland in particular, we are of opinion that those disqualifying laws be come a primary cause of disunion, by perpetuating those political discontents and religious animosities which distract the country, endanger the eafety of all itd institutions, and are alike destructive of social happiness and national prosperity." " 6. That we are further of opinion, that unless the wisdom of the Legislat'ire shall apply an immediate remedy to those evils; they will, in their progres sion, assume at an early period, a character which must necessarily augment the difficulties of their removal." " 7. That it is of paramount imporauce to the welfare .of the empire at large, and more especially of Ireland, that the condition of this country should be taken into immediate consideration by Parliament, with a view to such a final and conciliatory adjust ment as may be conducive-to the peace and strength of the united kingdom, to the stability of our na tional institutions, and to the general satisfaction and concord of his Majesty's subjects." "S. That a petition to his Most Gracious Ma jesty, in the spirit of the foregoing resolutions, be forthwith prepared, assuring his Majesty of our most unalterable attachment to his throne and person ; and . praying that he may be pleased, with the least possi ble delay, to recommend to his Parliament to -take into their most serious consideration the alarming and wretched state of the kingdom." " 9. That the following Noblemen and Gentlemen -do form a Committee, to prepare such petition, and that they be requested to report the same to this meeting before its rising, riz. : " 10. That this petition be presented to' his Ma jesty by our noble Chairman, accompanied by the following Peers and Members of Parliament, viz :-- Duke of Devonshire Lord Duneannon Duke of Somerset Lord Meath. Marquis of Anglesea Lord Gosfurd - Marquis of Lansdowne Lord Portarlington Marquis of Westmeath Lord Kingston Marquis of Downshire Lord Leitrim 111 - quis of Ormoade Lord Clements Marquis of Clanricarde ' - Rt.

Tuite Lord Plunkett Villiers Stuart Lord Wentworth Fitswilliam C. D. 0. Jephson Lord Milton Alexander Dawson Lord Ennismore Henry White • Lord Glengall Peter Van Homrigh Lord Wicklow A. Wrench Lord Dunraven " 11. That we adopt the sentiments contained in the Protestant declaration, signed by their Graces the Dukes of Leinster and Devonshire, and by seven Marquises, twenty-six Earls, eleven Vis counts, twenty-two Barons, two Counts, twenty• two Baronets, fifty-two Members of the House of Commons, and upwards of 2,000 gentlemen of other ranks, all of whom are personally interested in the condition of Ireland ; and that our noble Chairman be instructed to present to his Majesty, together with our' petition, a copy of that declaration with the signatures attached to it." " 12. That the petitions now read and founded on those resolutions be adopted by the meeting, and presented to both Houses of Parliament--that to the ' Lords by -, and that to the House of Commons • by -." " 11. That we most earnestly recommend the immediate a:tendanee in Parliament of all the Peers and members representing Ireland, and that for the sake of our , common country as well as the empire at large, we trust that all party distinctions and jea lousies will be buried in oblivion, so that the coun try may enjoy the benefit of their collective and calm consideration of her wants." " 14. That his Excellency the Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea is entitled to mg entire confi dence, and we trust that no circumstances which may arise in our constitutional struggle for the reli gious peace of Ireland will induce his Excellency to relinquish the government of this country ; for that, relying upon his wisdom .and. his. justiceove do as, sure his Excellency that—to adopt the language of a distinguished EnglishMan--' there is no nation of people under the sun that doth love equal and indif ferent justice better than the Irish, or will rest better satisfied with the execution thereof, although it be against themselves, so as they may have the protec tion and benefit of the law \viten upon just cause they do desire it.' " " 15. That copies og our resolutions and petitions be delivered to our illustrious countryman his Grace the Duke of Wellington by our noble Chairman, and that at the same time his Grace the Duke of Wel lington be informed that we confidently expect he may consummate the glory which has already ren dered him so pre-eminent, by giving peace,' and above all religious peace,' to his native land,' which by benefitting the state would confer a benefit upon every individual belonging to it.' " " 16. The Committee having recommended the Address now read, to his Majesty, resolved that' the same be adopted by the Meeting." " 17. That the thanks of the country and this meeting are eminently due, and hereby given, to the Noblemen and Gentlemen who constituted the Com mittee for the Protestant declaration, the dinner from the friend* of civil and religious freedom to Lord Morpeth, and for the arrangements of this meeting; and we do earnestly request that they individually and collectively will continue their exertions for the success of the great cause in which we are engaged— the religious peace of Ireland." " 18. That our Noble Chairman do now leave the chair, and that be called thereto." " 19. That the thanks of the country, and espe cially of this meeting, are pre-eminently due, and hereby given, to his Grace the Duke of Leinster (the premier Noble of Ireland), not only for his dignified and impartial conduct in the chair this day, but for his undeviating attachment and devotion to the true interests of Ireland." " 20. That this meeting do now adjourn, and that our best thanks are due to —, for his attendance his day, and his support of our common principles, Civil and religious liberty.' " The Duke of Sussex has arrived at his apart ments in the King's Palace, al Kensington, from Norfolk. His Royal Highness is now in a better state of health than he bas been for some time past, but has not yet attained his usual good health. The apartments in the King's Palace, .St. James's, Usually occupied by his Majesty when in town, are being prepared for the reception of the King. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after-. noon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, which was at tended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenhorough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Herries. The Ministers remained two hours in deliberation.

The St, Pete;sburgh Journal, of the 16th instant, contains news from the Russian army, to the 24th December inclusive. The substance of the following details is decidedly, and we think with truth, favourable to the Russian arms.' The severity of - the weather alone compelled the Russians to raise the siege of Silistria, and this they effected with little loss. They assert that not only, all the heavy artillery, but the train and baggage, reached the place of destination without any obstacle. If we remember rightly, it was said, in November, that some of the heavy artillery was buried in the bogs, near Silistria, in order to be taken up on resuming the siege in the Spring—but probably this was a German story, for we now find that :almost all the accounts through the German Journals were purposely perverted to annoy the Russians, as well as to mislead the people of other countries. How ever, it now turns nut, as we have repeatedly said, that the Russians, instead of being driven across the Danube, maintai❑ their positions in Bulgaria, and that in such force and entrench ment as to deter the Turks from, making any efficient attempt:to dislodge them. Every thing, at present, betokens that , ithe Russians are very seriously bent upon renewinathe war, and that on a scale proportioned to the magnitude of the -undertaking,. Unless England and France in terfere with promptitude,: their own interests will eventually compel them to take up the war In earnest :-- ACCOUNTS FROM THE ARMY TO DEC. 24 ST, PETERSHInteM, JAN. 5. The raising of the siege of Silistria, which had been re. solved upon for reasons that are well known, was carried into effect with perfect success, and without the smallest loss on our part. Not only all the heavy artillery, but the train and baggage reached the place of destination without any obstacle. The whole that the enemy attempted was but to fire a few - shot from the fortress, and he did not do any thing more to disturb us in our operations. At pre sent our troops have quietly taken up their winter quarters on both sides of the Danube, and are busied in preparations for the approaching campaign. The chief object of oar attention, however, is the fortification of those:points which it is necessary to put in a state of defence, in case of an attack by the enemy, and the perfect security of the winter quarters. All the mea sures requisite for the purpose are nearly completed ; the fortifications of Varna and other important points is quite finished, in order to be able in every case to make a de cisive resistance. In Bulgaria the enemy attempted nothing before the Bth (20th) November, and only insignificant skirmishes took place between the patrols ; but on that day a division of the Grand Vizier's army, consisting of 6,000 infantry and cavalry, appeared opposite our out-posts near Paravadi. The enemy remained till the 12th (24th), and seeing our garrison quite prepared to receive him, did not venture to make a decisive attack, but retreated on .that day by the roads o? Aides and Shumla, vigorously pursued for 10 wersts by our troops, who took 500 head of cattle. The patroles and reconnoitring parties that have been constantly sent out in search of the enemy, have never met with any of his detachments in the vicinity of our troops. On the Danube also the repeated attempts of the Turks have been everywhere successfully opposed, and they have sustained considerable losses. On the 14th (26th) Nov. a part of the garrison of Ghiurgevo, consisting of 3,000 foot, 500 cavalry, and eight cannon, attacked the right wing of the Corps of Ob servation before that fortress, but was checked, routed, and driven back into the fortress by two regiments of Cossacks, under Major-General Sherow, who hastened to support the detachment. A few days afterwards the garrison of Ghiurgevo made another atOck on the right wing of the detachment, but was repulsed with small loss on our part, The horse artillery, which pursued the enemy, caused him great loss by its well supported fire. On the 20th Nov. (2d Dec.) a troop of Turkish pan dours, which defended the fort of Vartscerst, had a skir mish with our out-posts, near the village of Sbidostee, and was defeated and'repulsed with considerable loss. The flotilla on the Danube, which observes the fortress of Silistria at the same time, protects our passage at Mir soma, where a sufficient number of boats are building, and other necessaries collecting for the passage over the river. BLOCKADE OF THE BOSPHORUS. Faris. The following account from Odessa shows that the Russians are in earnest in carrying the blockade el Constantinople into as complete effect as possible. The Bosphorus—the key to Constantinople from the Black Sea, is now blockaded, as well as the Dardanelles. Let it be remembered too that the Dardanelles are blockaded by the Admirar and ships sent to re lieve Admiral HE DEN in the Mediterranean ! Has that Admiral yet shown any disposition to return home ? Oh no, the Baltic is now frozen—and - the thing is of course inr possible !. We said as much at the very time when the Duke of WELLtNciToN was refitting the, Russian ship; in an English port ; but the Duke was too magnanitnotts to doubt the sincerity of his Russian ally, the moderate NIC HO . l. A 9, and so the fleet got all it wanted ; but the Duke now begins to perceive that he was out-generalled in the business, and tries hard to induce the Emperor of RUSSIA to abstain from his ambitious purposes. But will solicitation avail his Grace ? Does he think negociation will arrest the march of the invader to the goal of his ambition—the object dearest to 'his own heart, and the most gratifying to his immense army, as well as yo his barbarous population ? No ! if the Duke of WELLING , . TON hopes to curb the daring presumption of Russia, it must be done by an armed de monstration—and that while the display may prove effective—for when once the Rus- sian armies are in motion, not even the EMPEROR himself can check their ardour or stay the march of desolation, goaded by the re• collections of revenge, and maddened by the lust for plunder. But in the face of all this we are told that the Emperor of RUSSIA is moderate— and we all know that the Duke of WELLINGTON is magnanimous—most magnanimous ODESSA, DEC. SL. Our Journal contains the following official notice to the merchants : _ . ...... _ The Commander of our fleet i❑ the Black Sea, Admiral Greigh, has received orders to declare the Bosphorus in a state of blockade, and not to permit any ships to enter or come out of the Channels, except such as are bound to one of the Russian ports in that Sea, or come from one of those ports without either corn or contraband of war on board. ITrlerthename of contra band of war are to understood, arms, cannon, gunioigFr; saltpetre, sword-belts, saddles and bridles. All farther re gulations which the Government may think necessary fur the direct inforciug of the blockade will be published with out delay. The Grand Rotunda Meeting, an ample re port of which will be found in our columns of to-day, took place on Tuesday last at Dublin. It was eminently characterized by a moderate and elevated tone of feeling, so, of course, pre sented a striking contrast to that late abortive experiment on the patience and understanding of the Davonians—the Exeter Anti-Catholic Meet ing. Among the orators appeared a gentleman named BERWICK, a nephew of the immortal RATTAN, whose speech we have great pleasure in recommending to our readers, insomuch as it presents a display of energy and argument, ar rayed in the garniture of an eloquent but not re dundant style. We must also take leave to notice the very excellent practical observations of Colonel WES TEN It A, who awards an ample measure of justice to the meekness—the genti- lit---the decorum, .and the rhetouic of the Mo naghan Parsons. In the last department of in tellect, these reverend Brunswickers are surpassed only by the flippant verbiage of that blundering and infatuated scribbler, who daily soils a con siderable quantity of paper in a certain Morning Journal, founded upon falseheod and matured by intolerance. Extracts from the French Papers will be 'Amnd in another column.

Late accounts have been received this morning from Lima, to the 26th September; they announce the blockade by the Peruvian Government of all ports from lat. 3. 6. S., 9. N., which comprehends the ports in Colombia, in the Pacific, from Turnl , ez to Panama ; this b!otkade is occasioned by the eruption between the Peruvian and Co lombian Government, in consequence of the latter demand ing certain sums due to the subjects of the latter, occa sioned by spoliation committed on their subjects; as the means of supporting efficiently the blockade of so large an extent of coast are very inadequate, it is supposed the British Commanders and other neutral vessels of war will not admit it, consequently it may only be considered a paper blockade. The force of Peru consists of a frigate, a schooner, and a corvette, the latter at Payta seriously injured is a recent action ; his Majesty's ship Forte is expected at Lima shortly. Three per Cent.
