SOLEM 2UIS DICER& FAI SUM AIiDEAT LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1912. We have received a Dublin Paper of Friday last, from'Which we have extracted the proceedings of the Aggregate Meeting of the Catholics. • 'We were in hOpes that We should hare been en abled +his day to communicate to our readers some • intelligence from Portugal; but there has not been any arrival. It is generally believed, that General Iltr.r. has advanced, with some important objeet in view. It has been_stated, that he -means to'make an attack upon Set ille ; but this is merely conjec ture. The next Lisbon mail, however, will remove all doubts upon this subject. General HILL, we .know, has detached a part of his face upon a se cret expedition : we have seen a letter from an Prficei Who.is employed upon it. The Morning Chronicle 'has of late been liberal of its praises of Mr. PERCEVAL, for his consistency upon the Catholic Question. We certainly do agree with the Chronicle in the applause which it , beitows upon that Gentleman; but we are, we cGinfesi, a little surprised to find that his praise should come from that quartei, and upon such a subject. It is impossible to speak favourably of out conveying a diiet charge upon Lords GItEN. VILLA and GREY, who have displayed a flexibility of opinion upon that sublect that is really quite avonishing. When the former of these Noble Lords wrote his . celebrated Letter to Lord FINGAL, Le had no idea of unlimited concession. He then • talked of suitable arrangements to be maturely prepared. Not one word does his Lordship say about absolute, immediate, unconditional concession to the Clthblies; on the contrary, his Lordship says, " Circumstanced as this question now is, both in England and in Ireland, it is', - on the contrary, my deliberate opinion, that no Motiori grounded on your Petition e,,uld, at this time,. in any hands, Certainly not in mine, be brought forward without great and permanent disadvantage to its objeet."— We have before quoted his Lordship's opinion re tecting the Veto,,which appeared to him at that time to be absolutely indispensable. His Lordship's reasoning upon that subject was conclusive, and we are inclined to think that he will find it difficult, if not impo4sinle, to \ weak.en its force. WINDSOR, .FEB. •28.-At twelve o'clock the. Members Of the QUEEN'S Council arrived at the Ledge, where the KING'S five Physicians waited "upon them, and made their report of the state of Liss MAJEsTy since their last report.

(Countersigned) (Signed) CARL, L. 5 G. DE WITTBRSTED SEMLIN, JAW. 6.— AU the troops which are form ing are to assemble in Southern Bulgaria, near Schumla. It is with reaaon that - this position is re gaided as one of the bulwarks of the Empire : it is prote6.led by inaccessible mountains, into. which no foreign army has ever yet been able to penetrate. A considerable corps of Janissaries, and some, other troops which were here, have received orders to proceed by forced marches to Schurnla. GOTTENBURGH, FEB. ;.—Letters from Stock holm speak of war between this country and France as very probable. They state that Government only waits the answer to the disn2lehrg g,nt by Couriers to London and Paris, to determine what measures shall be adopted in consequence of the French ir ruption into Swedish Pomerania, and it is further said that Government has declared that, after this violation on the part of the Fiend}, it considers all engagements with them at an end; and' no longer bound to shut their ports against 'England. It is reported that the French hive seized to or 12 Swedish vessels in aantzic, and that. it is their in tention to occupy all the Prussian coasts as far as Memel. Gen. Piron, Commandant of the Swedish troops in Pomerania, has been ordered into arrest, and is to proceed to Stockholm to account for not having opposed the entrance of the French at Stral sund and Rugen. The Crown Prince of Sweden, Bernadotte, has, in he Stockholm Papers, of the 19th Febroary, ex pressed his Swedish Majesty's satisfaaion to the Governors, of sundry , districts, for the zeal and ac tivity by them shewn in carrying the Orders fot fill ing up the Army into execution. GOTTENBURGH, FEE. 17.—0 n the night of the toth instant, a lugger carrying one 18-pounder, 12. .swivels, and 38 men, with four boats carrying men each, commanded by Lieutenant Falbi, sailed' from Fladstrand for the purpose of cutting out the Earl of Leicester and Lord Dzaacan packets from. Wargo, but were fortunriely prevented entering that harbour by tempestbous weather, in which the lugger lost her foremast, and was otherwise so much damaged, that she was obliged to throw all her guns, ammunition, provisions, and even ballast overboard ; the whole got back with much diffiuclty, and ran ashore eight miles from Fad Strand. The Lieutenant had obtained every possible information respeaing' the situation and means of defence , of the packets. An embargo was laid eight days pre vious to his sailing. The Danes are said to be meditating an attack 'upon ,Anholt. The Agire sloop of war carns in on Tliursd,l, and sailed again yesterday. A frigate has .corne in to-day, supposed to be La Loire. GOTTENBURGH, FEB. 24.--General Piron, who was ordered to Stockholm, to take his trial for not defending Stralsund, is supposed to be on "his way to Paris. The Swedish Government has published that the French entered Stralsund in a friendly, manner, the pat4tolars of •t'lliel); as Well as tl-e insirtAiont that had 1.-eeh given to i 1 CdiLrtiandant to defeat the place s will be laid before the puttilic as soon possible.

A letter has to•dar bee7i received heie; • positively stating, that war had been declared by Frande again.loi Russia. STOCK ITOLM, FEB. Royal Majesty hp received informatipn of French troops having, on the 27th of .1.-muary, entered Swedish Pome rania, t i nder promise of continuing an annicahig Condu6l. The rarticulars respeCting this march are daily expeEted. When.reeeivtd, they shall be circum stantially laid before the public, together with the instraetions given in every particular case, to the Commander of the Swedish troops in Pomerania. Faa. t4.---The Diet of Sweden-is to "meet on the 4thof April, in consequence of an order issued by his Majesty on the 23d tilt. This is an Extraordi nary Diet, as the laws of Sweden only allow of the assembly- once in three. yvar3. The Swedish troops in Porntrania will, it is sup.. posed, be allowed .to return home, and ships for their conveyance are ready to be sent from Carlshans and Ystadt. The Prussian troops are to be immediately placed upon the war establisment. Since the English fleet s:tiled from -the Cattert, privateers have become more daring and numerous. A lugger, with so men, has been lying in the roxi, about 70 miles (English) to the sotthward, for se' veral days. BUDA, JAN. 17.-It is reported to have been sqes pulated, - that the suspension of arms shall continue till the negociations commenced at Bucharest shall produce a definitive result, and that in case peace should not take place, a month's notice steal be given before the recommencement of hostilities. The negociations have, it is true, commenced. but it is at present impossible to form any p o sitive opinions respeEling the turn they may take, be cause every thing is inveloped in the most profound mystery. 0 / The Russian head-quarters will remain, at Bu charest. Gen. Sass' will return, with his corps, which hats hitherto formed the right wing of at; Russian Army, to the interior of Wallachil. Gen. Count Langeron is to remain at Guer.;ewo, where the troops under his orders will form a liivd of observation. ,Gen. Marko w's bead-quarters are to- be tray' E-.!-• (erred to .183tiy; JAL 27.—We have just received recent intelli gence from several parts of Turkey, .from which it appears that all the accounts of the recommence ment of hostilities, arid of a battle having beets fought in the vicinity.of Rudschuck, are mere fa bles inventedby speculators. The fact is, that the Grand Vizier is still in RndSchuck, and the corps (far/rule shut up with him in that place. This corvs need have no uneasiness concerning its subsi>tences as the armistice has been renewed. There only remain some thousands of meet upon the right Bank of the Danube. The want of forage and provisions is the reason why a great part si lids army takes its winter quarters behind the line, namely, in Moldavia and Bessarabia. 'JA3SY, JAN. B,—We know nothing respeaing the negociations for peace. It is generally supposed Peace will be published on the first of next tumult. The reports respeaing the conditions of peace vary extremely. BUCHAFIV.T, JAN. 12 —The Iltissian army log sepalated, to take up winter quarters, which hags been greatly extended.---General Markow is,' will; his corps, gone to Moldavia ; that under Genera Sass, which has hitherto been in Lowtr Wallachia, has approached our tciWn.—Several Generals and superior Officers have demanded and obtained leave of absence. The Corresponclente n of the 4th February, after accusing the British of landing soldiers on the coast, and being guilty of great barbarities, proceeds as follows :—" What will the English Journalis!s re.• ply to this new unequalled, aa of barbarity ? Their denying of it is, natural ; who would dare to avow such atrocities ? But they are but too true, as the most incredulous may convince themselves." The Comtnander in Chief in India, Lieutenant. , General HEiNITT, may soon be expeaed in this country, as he had taken his passage in the Rose, C.ipt. SASDILANDS, and was to sail the first week in December last. • The new Comet passed Aldeberan in Taurus, about the 15th January, and was then advancing', northward, nearly at the rite of a degree per day, It was very faint,.and is supposed lo have passed its perihelion. The great Comef of 1811 can(tio longer be discerned with glasses,
