have laid prostrate the pomp and power of wealth, they have contended against the influence of autho rity, and the decrees of the Legislature, and they have enjoyed an easy triumph over both. At present there is an union of the Clergy, the laity, and the people. The Clergy and the laity are the contrivers, but the people are the tools by which this extraor dinary power has been ga i ne d ; b u t soo n they will find their own force, and some audaciouS Democrat will start up, who will spurn all restraints, civil, po litical, and spiritual, an d w h o w ill consign the Whole power of Ireland to an absolute and senseless' mob. Now, Gentlemen, with such a state of. things staring us in the face, (and I do hot think that I have Over charged the picture,) there comes the last question, whist is to be done ? The country confessedly con tains great advantage—it has made a wonderful progress notwithstanding all these drawbacks—it has confessedly the elements of wealth and prospe rity within itself, but all is checked and counterba lanced by these unhappy discussions, and the inva riable conclusion of every s p ecu l at i on on the state of Ireland is, what is to be done ? Can we go back to the penal laws ? God forbid that such an expe riment should be made---it is revolting to common sense—it is revolting to the dignity of man. Can we persevere in our present system ? The state ment which I have made, and the firm impression made upon my mind by an anxious attention to pass ing events, is, that we cannot remain in our present situation; something must be done; there is but one alternative, either to crush the Catholic Associ ation—(cheers for several minutes)—there is but one alternative, either to crush the Catholic Associ ation, or to look at the question with an intention to settle it. Let us exercise all our ingenuity—let us argue with all our subtlety—there is no other alternative—and with such a conviction upon my mind I feel myself called upon to exhort my coun trymen—men whom I have the honour of represent ing-, to aLstain from irritating harangues, to pause, and to weigh well the dangers. of the country—to dismiss all personal bitterness from the contempla tion of a whole nation's welfare, and to devise some means, with satisfaction to all parties, for restoring the predominance of established authority, and giving security to the recognized, the legal, the con stitutional institutions of society. I speak here as a Member of Parliament, as a Member of the Govern ment, and as a citizen of the world. Is it possible that I can look with apathy upon the degraded state of my Catholic countrymen ?—(Loud hisses.)—l cannot express too strongly the contempt I feel for the persons who thus attempt to put me down. If the Representation of the County depended upon the votes of those who interrupt me, I would not condescend to ask them, though their suffrages would secure my return. I must know, mixing as I do in the world, and holding the high situation I do, how the interests of Great Britain are wrap ped up in the safety of Ireland. There is but one topic more, before I conclude an address already too long. •A threat has been held out that the North of Ireland, and this county in particular, is to be visit ed by some itinerant demagogues, to stir up the elements o f discord. Let them undertake this task at their own peril. There never was a time when the Protestant proprietory were more de termined to rise as one man to resist such an invasion. The attempt will be hopeless— utterly hopeless; but let them pause well on the consequences. They twill meet here a sturdy, a bold, a determined, and, if driven to retalia tion, a fierce yeomanry—they will be answerable to God and man for the floods of blOod that will flow from such an attempt; no power can controul it, but upon them be the responsibility. Let their de luded victims also reflect upon the fate which will attend them. If once the- - kindly tie which binds them to the landlord be broken, the result will be luit a quiet submission of the landlords, but a trans fer of this lands to Protestant tenants; thousands are to be found in this county who want vicli lands, and the force of numbers will no longer protect them, as it has hitherto done their deluded brethren in the South. I speak these words in kindness and in advice to them. With respect to myself I shall be found at my post, and ready to make every sacri fice in defence of the rights of my country, the cha iracter of its gentry, and the support of the Consti tution. The Honourable Gentleman then resumed his seat. The Rev. Mr. GnAlLot rose to put a few .qnes. sions to Mr. Dawson, but he was interrupted by The CHAIRMAN, who said he would not permit any person to interrupt the regular course of the proceedings. I will, said Sir George, give you a toast, which I anticipate will call upon his legs a gentleman who will, I ani sure, reply to the speech which you have just heard from my Hon. Friend, the Member for the county. I will give you-- • " The Yeomanry of Ireland, and I will couple with the toast, health and prosperity to John Schoales." This toast having been drank with loud cheers, Mr. SCHOALES rose and said—l should not say one word if something were not expected of me in consequence of the call you, Sir, made upon me, to offer s4imething in reply to the arguments, for I am bound to call them such, put forward by a Member of Parliament and a citizen of the world.—( Loud cheers.) —He has told you plainly and broadly that the Catholic Association is at this moment the governing power of the country. Will the Hon. Gentleman permit me to ask him, why is it that it is the governing power of the country ?—(Loud cheers.)---Have we had a regular government in the country for these five years back—(loud cheering) --- while this terrible Association has been rising from bad to worse, until it has succeeded in terrify ing the members of the subordinate, or in other words, the legal Government of the country.-- (Great cheering.)--During the last three years the laws were stronger than they are at present, but even now they are sufficiently strong to put down this dreadful phenomenon. I will now come, Sir, to the first branch of the Hon. Gentleman's dilemma, and I say, crush the Association.--(Lo u d cheers.)-- That is my answer, although the gentleman is a citizen of the world.--(Cheers.)--I do not profess to he as well acquainted with the world as the Hon. Gentleman, though 1 have lived in it much longer than lie has ; but I do profess to know as much of the state of this country and its laws as lie can pos sibly do; and I fearlessly assert that the Govern ment need only use the laws as they are, and they have sufficient power to put down this much- dreaded Association, which, although it has not frightened the isle from its propriety, has certainly frightened the wits out of the Hon. Member, citi ,zen of the world though he be.—(Chec:s.)—The other branch of the dilemma is to consider how the question is to be settled. My answer to that is, the feeling of the popular mind of Ulster is, that the claims of the Roman Catholics ought not to be k•onceded.—(Loud cheers, which lasted for several minutes.) " The Protestant Corporation of Dublin, and their tried and valued Representative, George Moore." In announcing this toast, the Chairtnan read a letter from Mr. Moore, stating that he IVas prevented from attending the meeting in consequence of being" engaged to meet his constituents on the' same day. The toast having been drank with loud cheers, Alderman JOHN C. BERESFORD roe and spoke as lb!Qws feel great pleasure in stating, that the sentiments of the Corporation of Dublin are con genial with those felt by the 'Prentice boys of Derry. .—(Cheers.)—lt is out of my nature to hurt the feelings of any individual. In my mind, if th e R oman Catholics were worthy to be trusted they should enjoy everything; but I say they are not worthy to be trusted, anti therefore I exclude them.--.(Cheers.) I deplore as much as any man scenes of anarchy an d blood, but the sooner the matter is settled the better. It might have been settled some time since with the shedding of a little blood—now I fear the effusion of torrents will be necessary to restore tranquillity to the conntry. If I ask those around me whether they wilt fight the monster or fly from it, I arouse an echo which responds the well-known cry of " No surren der !"—(Loud cheers.) If I ask the Corporation of Dublin will they fight or fly, they will tell me that they have made too many caerifices in the cause of loyalty already to desert the Constitution at its utmost need, and they toolvill exclaim " No sur render !" Sir, you have been told' that this country is now under the government of a poWer not recog nised by the law, bUtzivhose - fault isleijSir, if this monster has been permitted to attain strength, and power, and vigour ? Sir, I say the Government of the country is to blame. I was wrong—lreland had no Government. ,We have witnessed \within a short period six or seven changes in the Administration in England. In all these changes settled principles were laid down for the maintenance of our foreign relation—for the government of England, Scotland and Wales; but no matter whether Tory or Whig came into power, it was a settled point that Ireland should be left out of consideration. I say, all Ire land was betrayed by excluding it from the counsels of the King's Ministers.—(Loud and continued cheers.) That, Sir, is the cause why this monster, so ably described by the Member for the County, but upon which it appears he has so lately opened his eyes, has been permitted to arrive at its present maturity.—(Cheers.) The next toast was— ._ " The health of Mr. Barre Beresford, and the • Protestant electors of the county of Londonderry:' —(Loud cheers.) • Mr. BARRE BERFSFORD rose to return thanks. I say, gentlemen, that the Irish Government has truckled to the Catholic Association.--(Loud cheers.) --go far is the tax now levied upon the people from being a voluntary contribution as de scribed by my Honourable Friend (Mr. Dawson) that it is extorted from them by force; and I have it from the mouths of the - people themselves, that that they have been compelled to pay the rent, whilst the bludgeons of three or four ruffians were flourishing over their heads. Many of my own tenantry have been ordered out of the Chapel for not paying it; and a few days since,-a poor woman in this neighbourhood was refused the rights of her Church by a Priest, for a crime which I was not aware merited such severe chastisement. I asked, upon being informed of the circumstance, is the woman a thief or a murderer and the reply was, that she was refused the rights of her Church be cause she allowed her children to be sent to a school where the Bible was read. What is wanted in this country is a repetition of such exhibitions as we have witnessed this day.--(Loud cheers.)—The Govern ment has deserted us, and if any Protestant but open his lips by way of remonstrance, he is set down as wild enthusiast.--(Cheers.) After several other toasts were drank, the Meet ing separated, it being then two o'clock in the morning. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated August 17.) PARIS, AUG. 16.—We can give the assurance, that all that was stated the day before yesterday by the Constitutionnel and the Courier relative to a long and warm discussion between M. de Rayneyal, holding ad interim the Portefeuille of the department of Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassadors of England and Austria, on the subject of the expedition to the Morea, is completely false. We have also ascer tained that this news can only have been invented by jobbers to affect the price of stocks. It is possible, and we are indeed convinced of it, that England and Austria, on learning the departure of this expedition, felt some uneasiness with respect to the spirit which is to direct it, and the ultimate prac tical object Of it. It may be supposed, with some foundation, that explanations on this subject have been asked; but it is false that the Ambassadors of the two Powers have taken the step attributed to them, and that any sort of discussion has taken place. On the contrary, every thing indicates that the most amicable and pacific disposition continues to prevail between the Cahinets of Paris, London, and Vienna. General Maison arrived at 'Marseilles on the 7th, in the morning, and was received with the honours due to his rank, He was to set , out immediately for Toulon, and twenty transports hired at Marseilles, were to sail in a few days for the same port. Gen. Tiburce Sebastiani, the day after his arrival at Mar seilles. reviewed the Bth Regiment of Foot, which is to make part of his brigade. On the Bth, in the evening, he set out for Toulon, with General Hy gonet and Count Maison. M. Vorland, the Military Intendant, had preceded them. Bricklayers and bakers have been engaged for the expedition. Some French men-of-war are eruizing on the coast of Pro vence, t protect our merchantmen against the Al gerine Corsairs. Letters from Marseilles say, that it is impossible that the expedition should sail on the 15th of August, and that it cannot depart before the 20th at the soonest. Letters from Friburg say that the number of pupils offered to the Establishment of the Jesuits in that town has been so great, that the Fathers have been obliged to form a secondary esta blishment at Lira (though their house at Friburg once received 1,200 pupils.) Among the young Frenchmen who have lately arrived at Friburg is the young Duke de Caylus, the heir to his father's peer age, who came from Toulouse with his preceptor. The Chamber of Peers closed, the day before yes terday, the budget of the expenditure for 1829, j after a debate respectinr, which we h ave not b een able to collect an y thing but uncertain reports.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Plymouth, Saturday, Aug. 16. SIR,--You will perceive by the above, that we are now at Plymouth, much against our inclinations, after experi encing almost certain destruction, by being run foul of by a4other ship on the night of the 9th (Saturday last), the wind blowing very strong at the time, which carried away our bowsprit, two anchors, aid foremast, and otherwise damaged us so much, we were obliged to put back to this place to undergo repairs. We had a very rough passage, but had got about 500 miles from land, so that nothing but the greatest mercy could have preserved us. Miss Cramer was so much alarmed as to be unwell ever since. The other ship also suffered very severely, losing her foremast, all her sails, yards, and top-gallant masts. ,The confusion was so great, that the sailors were going about unabl e to perform their duties, and calling upon God to help them, expecting every time the vessels struck that one or both would go down ; we were so entangled by our foremast Laving fallen across their deck, that it took some time to cut away. The greatest praise is due to Captain Delano for his cool, seamanlike, and manly conduct; the other Captain being so - much alarmed as scarcely to be able to give orders. The vessel was called the City of Waterford, from Waterford, bound to Quebec, going for a cargo of timber, with 16 passengers and a crew for a new ship building at Q ue b ec , having altogether 21 Seamen on board, six of whom, with the second mate, wer e so frightened they to make and a jumped on board us , and remained till morning. Captain Delano 'lays it will take about a You will therefore be pleased to mak e the Manager s o f t h e Bowry Theatre acquainted with the caus e o f M iss Cramer's ao ling a-s w set eek aboutn mCO men at wor k u s fi t f or sea a bh.. And that it is not h er fault but delay as soon as poss i stay a t 'os y an • till th e loss to her being obliged t a great ship is ready. I am, Sir, yours obediently, W. G. PLUMER. VEGETATION.—The garden of Mr. CALEB liEwirr, of the Rising Sun, in Gawsworth, presents a singular instance of the power of vegetation. About five years ago, the stump of an old gooseberry bush, which had been pulled up and thrown about the yard for nearly three months, was employed in the formation of a fence, along with the stumps of several other bushes. No further no tice was tak en o f thi s un til a f ew d ays ago, w h en it was discovered that the forgotten stump was thickly covered with very fine ripe gooselierries, -which, when gathered, measured nearly foee quarts,—Macclesfield courier, LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1828. but let him pacify Ireland, and he will be en titled to the eternal gratitude of his country. We have repeatedly said that we thought the Duke of WELLINGTON could carry the Catholic Question when it would be sure to fail in other hands, and for this reason—that the Aristocracy and the Church Establishment would repose a con fidence in one so devoted to their welfare, which they would not extend to others, perhaps equally worthy, but less influential. It is idle to attempt to blink a question of such magnitude— a question which agitates seven millions of people, and alarms as many more? No ; the thing must be done—awl the Duke of WELLINGTON has penetration enough to appreciate the neces- sity of doing it quickly, while yet the boon wi be received as a blessing, not extorted as a right The speech of Mr. DAwsoN may be consi siered as the sentiments of the Duke of WEL. LlNGTON—breathing emancipation and peace Ireland. The Gazette de France of Saturday evening is the only French Paper received. Its contents are not important : it pretends to deny the truth of the statement that the Ambassadors of Austria and England had remonstrated with the French Government respecting the sailing of the Expe dition to the Morea. This appears rather odd, for the Gazette, in the same breath, admits that England and Austria, on learning the departure of this expedition, felt some uneasi ness with respect to the spirit which is to direct it, and the ultimate practical object of it." The Expedition will not be able to sail before to-morrow. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agents of Lloyd's at Richibucto, Liverpool, N. 8., dated the 14th July, 1828 : The depth of water at the entrance of the harbour is at best tide 18 feet, and at common tide 16i. When off the harbour, in six or eight fathoms water, vessels should run ini keeping two large beacons in a line until near the sand hill, and then run along the shore N.W. in two and a half to three fathoms water until they are in safety. A large buoy is laid down in five fathoms water outside the bar for a guide, which buoy may be seen upwards of a league when at sea. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 10th inst. says, on the authority of letters from the Banks of the Danube, dated the 4th, that fears were expressed at Constantinople for the life of the SULTAN. The belief of the approaching dissolution of the Turkish Empire prevails like 4 kind of fatality among his principal States men. The inhabitants of Constantinople, and j With respect to the great point at issue between his Lordship and Col. NAPIER, we think that the following extract will give his Lordship all the advantage which he claims : " I have already admitted that this Dispatch was, as far as manual operation was concerned, undoubtedlywritten in Bru ton-street, but I repeat, that it was a mere compilation and arrangenient of my original dispatches, all and every one of which were written and dated on board theflibernia ; that it was so arranged and compiled under the special directions of the Secretary of State—that it contained no thing that was not contained in them, and omitted nothing but that which it would have been equally cruel and absurd to have proclaimed to the world. I was at the time, and I still am, decidedly of opinion, that Mr. Canning was quite justified in desiring that arrangement, and that he would have been quite unjustifiable if he bad needlessly ex posed individuals to the vengeance ofJuuot, or bad gratui tously informed the French Commander that such or such forts in the Tagus might be successfully attacked, with such or such a number of troops; for, in the sup pression of inch facts and such circumstances, and in the omission of such remarks as were likely to offend the So vereign to whom I was about to he accredited, (and in this degree only), did my published dispatch vary from the originals out of which it was compiled. And I did then, and I do still, consider that I should have been more liable to the imputation of affixing to my dispatch an erroneous date, if I had dated it from London, than by retaining the date under which every part, I might also say every sen tence of it, was originally written. Colonel Napier terms the omissions in that dispatch, " a reasonable bill of ex ceptions, truly !"—I repeat, that , it would have been both cruel and absurd, not to have made such exceptions." From this it appears, that the Dispatch was actually rewritten by his Lordship, at Mr. CANNING'S request, for political reasons only We have not room to enter into the dis• We point attention to the Speech of Mr. DAWSON at the Anniversary Meeting of the Protestants of Londonderry, and the comments of our Cotemporaries on that extraordinary effusion. It is well known that Mr. DAwsoN is brother-in-law to the Right Hon. Mr. PEEL, and one of the Secretaries to the Treasury—in fact, a very prominent member of the Govern ment. These circumstances give tenfold im portance to what Mr. DAWSON 11AS spoken. He said—" I speak here as a Member of Parliament, as a 'Member of the Govern ment, and as a Citizen of the World. Is it possible that I can look with apathy upon the degraded state of my Catholic coun trymen ?--(Laud hisses.")--Certainly not ; and Mr. DAwsoN, much to his honour, has spoken out the truth—that something must be done for Ireland, and that speedily. We look upon Mr. DAWSON'S speech as the prelude of what his MAJESTY'S Government are about to do for unhappy Ireland. Let the Duke of WELLINGTON but settle the " Irish Question," and the battle of Waterloo will not redound more to his glory. We are dissatisfied, because the country is dissatisfied with his Grace's present system of Foreign Politics, because the national character is not supported abroad with that dignity which the recollectio. of his Lordship's victories ought to command cussion to-day, but we refer our Readers to the observations of his Lordship. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 12th inst., received this morning, has an article froin the lonian Isles, which contains more specula tion than fact. The present posture of affairs in Greece is the theme upon which its reasonings are founded, and whether the evacuation of the Morea will affect the question of the Supremacy of the PORTE in the event of Grecian in dependence : lONIAN ISLANDS, JULY 30. What could not fail tehappen if the Porte did not agree to the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6th July, was easily to be foreseen by those who considered the political situation of Europe, and the circumstances which made it the duty of the three great Powers to put an end to the bloodshed between the contending parties. But what will happen if the chief condition of the Treaty of the 6th July should be fulfilled, a■d the Morea voluntarily evacuated by the Egyptians and Turks, at a moment when the Porte seems on the whole to have forfeited' the benefits of the Treaty, and is not in a condition to recognise it without reserve, is another question, which will require much consideration in the conferences at Corfu. According to the Treaty of London, Greece is to remain dependent on the Porte, and in the situation of a vassal ; it is to enjoy only a municipal freedom, and to pay a tribute to the Porte, which is to be fixed by an agreement. The Porte, hindered 43 it Arms, by its religions institutions, cannot take any part in such negociatione ; it can only show, by the measures which it takes, that it desires to be en good terms with the Powers, and to give them satisfaction. The evacuation of the Mores, for which orders are said to have been sent to Ibrahim, is a favourable indication of the good intentions of the Divan, and gives it an implied right to the advantages of the Treaty of London. s Greece now to expect entire freedom, or only an itn_ provement of its situation, according to the sense of the Treaty? And, in case the Porte should content itself with evacuating the Mersa and the fOrtified places in the Archipelago, and thus effecting an actual state of freedom, without taking part in the conferences at Corfu, would the Greeks be bound to pay the tribute to the Porte, and to allow it a right of nomination in the appointment of the Members or the Government ? Or, can the parties concerned believe that they have a right to make an an alteration of the Treaty, and to deprive the Porte of a right which was guaranteed to it by . the Powers, neon certain conditions it is true, but which religion pre vents it from fulfilling. Meantime, is tke latter no ob stacle to the attainment of the end proposed, and the happy arrangement of the existing differences ? It is clear that without being accused of intolerance, it might be difficult to recognise the entire liberty of Greece, as soon as the Porte does any thing to restore tranquillity and order; but it is also evident that it may be very difficult to induce the Greeks, after so many sacrifices, voluntarily to replace themselves under the Ottoman dominion. Amidst these questions, which will afford many difficulties in th e nego ciations at Corfu, besides that of determining the boun daries of Greece, it must appear singular to see Count Capo D'lstria negociate with Ibrahim Paella at Navarin, about the evacuation of the Morea. The projected French expedition to the Mozea also gives scope to many re- factions. VigssA, JULY *s.—llletalliques, 92j; Bank Shares, ,060. The Times of this morning says, that there is now some prospect of the liberation of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE and Mr. YOUNN from the fangs of that cruel usurper—MlGUEL. A de putation of the Underwriters at Lloyd's bad an interview yesterday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign Office, to request " the interfer ence of the British Government in behalf of Mr. WILLIAM YDIITNG, an English subject, and formerly holding a commission in the army, but who has resided ever since the peace in Portugal, and has been employ©d as agent by a consider able number of the London Underwriters, in which capacity he has been the instrument of detecting fraudulent claims on marine insurances to. a considerable amount." •, The deputation stated the hardship of the of these the Ulernas, are the most cowardly of all Mussulmen, the latter would probably be the first to give the signal of flight to Scutari. As we have already given articles containing remarks reflecting upon Lord STRANGFORD'. , mission to Lisbon in 1807, and made some comments ourselves, which we regret have been taken up in a spirit by no means intended, we have thought it proper to insert in another part of our paper his Lordship's last answer to the charges of Colonel NAPIER. `We do this merely as an act of justice, for impartiality is our motto. At the same time, we profess ourselves the political opponents of his Lordship, solely because we think that he does not advocate the true interests of his country by opposing liberal principles and free trade. " The Noble Lord replied, that he hoped the gentlemen composing the deputation did not imagine that his MAJESTY'S Government had allowed the commission of so flagrant a breach of the solemn treaties subsisting between this country and Portugal as that which had taken place in the case of Mr. YOUNG, without instruct ing the British Consul to remonstrate with the persons at present exercising the Government - of Portugal in the strongest terms. This had already been done more than once before the date ofthe last despatches from Lisbon, and he was sorry to say without effect up to that time; but he cal culated that in a few days thereafter a commu nication would be received from the Foreign Office, which would have the desired effect, both in the case of Mr. YOUNG and Sir JAHN NI. DOYLE, as he therein notified to the de facto Government of Portugal, that if the proper steps were not immediately taken in respect to the two individuals in question, it must be prepared for consequences of the most serious nature; as in a case like this, where the liberty and rights of British subjects are invaded, his AIAJESTY'S Government were determined that they would not be trifled with. His Lordship added, that he had no doubt but that this remonstrance would 'have the desired effect, and that by this time Mr. YOUNG would be released.

CORK, AuG. 16,—0n this day week the Counsel and Agent for the people will proceed to Fernioy, and apply at the Petty Sessions to have informations taken re specting the late proceedings at the inquest. The Magi strates will also employ Counsel. If they refuse the ap plication, a legal discussion will arise, and the whole affair be laid before the LORD CHANCELLOR. A spirited con versation took place on the subject at the close of the Cork Assizes between Mr. BENNETT and Baron PENNEFATHER. It is expected that there will be about three thousand troops soon quartered at Fermoy.—Cork Mer cantile Chronicle. The accounts from the Hop Plantations this t-iling are rather more favourable than for the last three (s. The duty since last week, owing to the preva enee of cold winds, fell so low as 130,0001. The damage lone by the poles being blown down is considerable, and .he cold nights have prevented the burr from coming on tindly. The change in the weather.yeaterday has caused n advance in the duty to 15Q,000/., at which it is esti nated this morning. The prices of hops are about 10s. uglier than last week.
