The chief defect this part is th a t s h e i s thin, and we c a n no ®ore fancy a thin J u liet, than we can fancy a ' l 4 Paste: As a necessary cons equence o f ii thi„ Physical peculiarity, she gave the more " 41 44 ioned passages of the play in a manner too ti tl 9l . akin t o reason , to convey any a d equate e l of the overpowering sensibility with which tr tt AKS - PEA RE has deluged this his favourite ill eation. • She seemed afraid of ;oing too far, w. 1 4. kept pausing on the rubicon of sentiment, ~ " 4 she should boldly and unhesitatingly have ' t) ,.'ed it. Juliet is all passion, she breathes it lll 3' the atmosphere of love, and it may be a ( 11 .trkahle, though by no means singular fact— tio4, 1111 0 N has somewhere broached the same no itlib)--that few thin people are of ardent or (iwPassioned temperament.

We do not mean to assert that i PINDAR'S Juliet was altogether a failure, 14 0 . -- Simply that it wanted the amorous tempera 41ent of the Italian. Hence the balcony scene Passed off' but tamely ; the language did not come ll 'etn the heart—a defect which the audience l'er e not slow to perceive. Towards the close t lf , the d rama , where the na t ure o f J u li e t i s al t:tether changed, and a cold, blighting grief is 4bst4ute,d. for tile voluptuousness of passion, PINDA R was more at home, and received `4\rtaultuous applause.

LONDON UNIVERSITY. Yesterday Dr. Davis delivered his iiiirroductory Lecture on the subject of Midwifery ; and th'e Thea tre was again most numerously and respectably attended. The Learned Professor, in the course of his Lec ture, took occasion to enter upon the history of the science en width he Was abaut td treat; and trated the gradual increase of its importance from the middle ages down to the present titne. In his Opi nion, midwifery had been nothing but the pretension of a science s till the time of Ambrose Parry, *hti; by his attention to, and skill in it, succeeded in draw ing the public mind towards - the importance of its improveinent. Louis XIV. evinced the imp,di•tane'n he attached to the .Icietiee, by appointing the emi nerit Jhlius Clement to be Accoucheur to the Dauphittess, and the consequence was, that schools were speedily established and resorted to. In 1670 a similar movement took place in Amsterdam, and at Leyden, in 1719; in addition to which, hospitals shortly after were established at Strasburg. It was not till the year 1736, that similar measures were adopted in Edinburgh, when Mr. Joseph Gibson was first appointed professor; these various Institu tions attracted the attention of the King of Prussia, and in 1751 schools were established in Berlin by his direction. Dr. Warbery was the first who lec tured on the subject in London, and he was speedily followed by Chapman, who published several works on the subject. Having thus entered into a hasty sketch of the progress of the art, the Professor next called the attention of the audience to the utility of it, the first great feature of which was the means it afforded of preserving human life; and the next, the power ful assistance it was able to afford the patient when either a deformed pelvis or a cross-birth was inci dent to the ease. Added to these advantages was the aid the.science was able to give in cases of dis eased action, besides the eminent benefit of pro curing the birth of the child at the smallest possible expense of pain and suffering. While on this part of his subject, Dr. Davis related a curious case, in which an eminent practitioner was called in for the express purpose of effecting a delivery by means of instruments. When he was sent for, the woman, who was 38. years of age, short in stature, and la bouring with her first child, had been thirty hours in child-birth ; on his arrival he found her lying in a bed with six coverings on the top of her, - in a small room with a large fire, the day a hot one in August, and half a dozen female friends present, besides his predecessor, who was a foreigner, and an irregular practitioner. The exhaustion of the patient was so great, that the labour throes were altogether ineffi cient, and her pulse beat 150 strokes in a minute.— Under his directions the fire was put out, the doors and windows opened, half the bed-clothes removed, all the gossips turned out—and the consequence was, that, without instruments, without even bleeding, the woman was in less than half an hour delivered of a living child. The Professor then went on to complain that many, not sufficiently skilful in the art to appreciate its merits, were fond of decrying its utility. In answer to such assertions he would op pose the opinion of the late Dr. Denman--than whom no man could be more candid, honourable, or skilful. That practitioner had declared to him (Dr. Davis), that the principal operations of midwifery were so exceedingly difficult, that he had twice in the course of his life been tempted to renounce its practice altogether; and it should be always remem bered, that though it was true that the number of preternatural births was comparatively small, yet it was the condition of every birth that it was liable to become dangerous. • In conclusion, the Professor gave to his audience the foll Owing averages (which, he observed, had, for .the sake of accuracy, been taken upon a very large scale, for the purpose of shewing to what extent difficult cases in midwifery were to be met with : Natural Presentations, as 20 to 21i- Face Presentations Lover Extremity ditto_ Breech ditto lin 56 Shoulder ditt,) Artificial Births Labour rendering the death of the child necessary 1 in 208 Still born 1 in 284 Child so feeble as to die from exhaustion lin 39 Malformations, or as they are sometimes called, Monstrosities ..... Abortions Twins Triplets 1 in 1588 1 in 188 1 in 85 1 in 9589 He likewise showed by a scale that had been formed upon ,the bills of mortality of the Metropolis, that the deaths of mothers had greatly diminished in proportion as the art of midwifery had advanced. The Learned Professor was listened to throughout with the greatest attention, except when interrupted by the applause of the audience, and the conclusion of his address was greeted with continued marks of approbation. Previous to the separation of the Meeting the Secretary said, that a report having gone abroad that the University of Edinburgh would not afford the same advantages to the Students of the London University as to those of other schools—there was every reason for stating that such a report was en tirely unfounded. Miss PATON.—We can state, on good au thority, that before the Festival Committee engaged this lady, his Grace the Archbishop was satisfied, from inquiries made in the proper quarter, that no imputation at taches to the connexion between her and Lord W. LENNOX. The delay in obtaining her assistance arose from doubts on this subject ; but the moment they were cleared up the negociation was closed, and his Grace, during the perform ances, behaved with marked kindness to one who evi dently suffers unmerited obloquy, in consequence of the equi vocal situation in which she is placed, by those who ought to have undeceived the public long ago.—Leeds Intel ligcncer. A special commission, appointed by the Royal Society of Medicine at Marseilles, made a report to this society on the 22d July, upon the epidemic which has pre-. vailed, and still does prevail, at Marseilles. The conclusion come to is, that this epidemic was confined to a single erup tive disease, which was that formerly called small pox, but which is now designated variola ; that at the first and second periods this pest announced itself with some symptoms to persons who never had the sMall-pox, to those who had had it, and to those who had been vaccinated ; that at the third and fourth periods the symptoms were by no means of the same description, and that the chance was entirely in favour of those who had been vaccinated ; that of 20,000 persons who had been vaccinated 2,000 were attacked with this eruptive disorder, of whom 20 died ; that out of 8,000 in dividuals who had not been vaccinated 4,000 were attacked by it and 1,000 died ; and that of 2,000 who had had the natural small-pox 20 were attacked, of whom four died.— Constitutionnel. DIOCESE OF DROMORE.-It is understood that at a conference held by the Clergy of Dromore,on Tues day, -it was resolved that a communication should be ad• dressed to the Association, calling upon that body to re • commend to Mr. LAWLESS to forego his intention of visit ing their diocese at present.—Dubliti Morning Register. SPRATS.--Heavy shoals of small garvies or sprats continue to Lover on the shores.of the Frith, and they are daily caught in thousands by people both for their own use and for sale. On Sunday afternoon, a shoal, fully forty feet across, visited the shore between Fisherrow and Portobello. The tiny creatures sported on the surfaoe of the water quite regardless of th e myriads of sea-fowl which screamed above them, and pick e d them up by scores in the minute. When a stone was thrown,: however, which killed same"of them, they instantly rushed into deep water, and their mortal foes, the gull s , b ore o ff , i n a body, for the opposite coast.—Seotsnian. We need scarcely tell. our townsmen that during the powerful and animated address of the Rev. Dr. Timm- SON, on the Apocrypha Controversy, in the dispel of ease, on Monday afternoon, he was -frequently greeted with rounds of applause and shouts of laughter. Towards the evening, when the audience waxed wondrous merry over the numerous" anecdotes and illustrations of the Rev. Doctor, two decent -looking countrywomen, who seemed to know little about the doings in Earl-street, suddenly stoppedl nng fo . opposite heCh , urch, when one of them, a ft er ejaculated, " 0, Sirs, it is an awfu' Prnfanstion to let the play-actors into the gnid godly chapel." —lnvern ess Courier.

DOUVILLE, PROFESSOR OF TILE FRENCH LANGUAGE. No. 1, Soho-square ; and 2, Lawrence-lane, Cheapsidc, Lon. don. 1828. The Third Edition. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stir,—ln preparing this edition of the SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR for the Press, I have spared no pains in my endeavours to give the work the greatest possible degree of perfection. Every part of it has undergone a com plete revision ; many of the rules and observations have been simplified and condensed, so as to render them more dis tinct and easy of recollection ; while much additional and useful matter has been introduced. Extensive experience having confirmed me in the conviction that, unless a learner is early habituated to conversation, he will never be able to converse with a native of France, I have princi pally applied myself to facilitate the speaking of French to English persons. Ilow far I have succeeded in this great desideratum will be for the Public to decide ; and I indulge a hope that individuals will read and judge for themselves, rather than be influenced by any professions of mine. The work is concluded by a Grammatical Ana lysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versifica tion ; besides a classified vocabulary : a Collection of Fa miliar Phrases, arranged under distinct Beads; and nume rous Models of Notes and Letters, with some forms of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, and Receipts. In the exe cution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has been the main object; and I flatter myself the present edition will be found much improved, and still more worthy of the liberal patronage by which the work has been dis tinguished.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Oct. 2, 1828.

CLEMENT DANES, STRAND.—A Ves try Meeting of this parish was held on Thursday evening, when the whole of the Churchwardens and Overseers' ac counts were passed without opposition, and all the pariah officers were re-elected, except the organ bellows-blower, who had resigned; and in whose stead JOHN SMITH was appointed at a salary of ;01. per annum. Mr. CLARtm, - the navy agent, of Essex -street, Strand, one of the over seers, in rising,to propose that a rate of 6d. in the pound be made for the relief of the poor for the ensuing quarter, said that a Allah higher rate would be required on the next occasion, as the applicants for relief had increased during the last six months, and were daily increasing.— After some discussion the rate of 6d. in the pound was then agreed to. We regret to state, that Mr. PATR ICK DE VEREUX, of Callan, was fired at, a b out t h ree o ' clock on Friday afternoon, through a hedge on his farm, near that town, and killed on the spot. This farm is on the estate of Lord CLI/ , DEN, held by a Mr. FITZG ERA LD, of the Queen's County, whose former tenants (ConYs and Russet)' bad been ejected for non-payment of rent.

A numerous meeting greeted their arrival in the Chapel—the Rev. Mr: Scanlan was called to the tldr; end the mover aiid seconder of O'Connell ad dressed the People with greta power and feeling upon the subject of their visit. They were reetived with reiterated acclamatioas,and the Meeting entered into a resolution proposed by O'Gorman Mahon, and seconded by his friend, that they should forth with nominate and send, deputies throu g h Cl are , an d the different parishes of the neighbouting countries, particularly Tipperary; to inform all, that it was the wish of the Association that there should be no further assembling and marching through the country. The deputies were instantly appointed, and the Meeting solemnly pledged itself to perform what was required, the Rev. Mr. Scanlan promising to act himself as a deputy. It was night before the meeting left the chapel; the town was illuminated, and O'Gorman Mahon and Mr. Steele were drawn by the multitude through the streets of Killaloe; and were afterwards accom panied by an immense concourse of the people with lighted torches and lanterns along the road by the side of Lottgh Derg, which leads to Newcourt. On arriving at the chapel of Newcourt, the report of their progress had gone before them, and the large chapel was lighted up and densely crowded. The Rev. Mr. MOYLAN was called to the chair, and he and the two tranquillisers, addressed the people, when a resolution was carried with accla mation, that they would obey the voice of the As sociation, and act in the same manner as the people of Killaloe. _ _ _ The confidence reposed by the people of Ireland in O'Gorman Mahon and Mr. Steele, the proposer and seconder of Mr. O'Connell in Clare, is bound less; and the perfect tranquillization of the South may be considered as completed from this moment. GREAT MEETING AT NAVAN, OF THE FRIENDS OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday. On Tuesday, shortly after two o'clock, this most powerful and imposing assemblage of Protestants and Catholics was convened in the Parish Chapel. The estimated value of landed property possessed by the Protestants and Catholics who attended the meeting, is, at least, one half million sterling per annum. Of the persons in attendapee ten were Ma gistrates. At half-past two Lord GoßmAssToivN was called to the chair, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, and MATTHEW O'REILLY, Esq., was appointed Se cretary. Lord KILLEEN, in rising to propose the first reso lution, considered it the duty of every man who valued the peace of Ireland, to come forward, how ever humble his talents, however high or however low his rank, and give his aid towards extricating the country from difficulties of the most appalling nature. The resolution lie would move for adop tion was one declaring that civil and religious liberty was the right of every individual who contributed to support the state. Such was his opinion. My Lord, I am convinced that until religious liberty be established in Ireland, there can be no peace and concord here. What is now the state of Ireland, and what has produced that state ? Is it possible for any of us to view it without feelings of regret, anxiety, and alarm ? One half of .the people ar rayed against the other. In the North, a part, and no inconsiderable part of the population, armed, com bined, and bound together by the fear of losing the ascendance they have enjoyed for more than a cen tury-Lin the South, immense masses of discontented .Catholics, unarmed, it is true, but organised, dis ciplined, instructed, and bound together by - a deep felt sense. of undeserved humiliation. The gentry divided into three classes, the liberal Protestant, the illiberal Protestant, that is to say s those who think concessions to the Catholics would endanger the safety of the national institution, and the Catholic— property losing its influence and consequently its value—clubs of opposite tendencies - establishing every daysocial life embittered—a sullen discon tent prevailing. Such is the state of Ireland, and what has caused this ? An absurd and obstinate per severance in a system at no time necessary, but now manifestly impolitic, pregnant with pernicious conse quence to Protestants as well as Catholics—a sys tem which unjustly elevates the one and as unjustly depresses the other—which creates jealousies and heart-burnings--which gives to a few what is the common right of all—which deprives the state of the services of men of talent and industry—which poisons private society and destroys the comforts of social life. Why is this system persevered in ? Are the Catholics unworthy of trust ? Do they hold opinions inconsistent with liberty, or incompa tible with admission to civil authority ? No, we hold no opinions contrary to civil and religious liberty. There is another subject of some import ance to which I wish chiefly to advert, because ac cusations have been made against us--when I say us, I mean the Catholic Association, which is only another name for the Catholics of Ireland, which ought, as they are unfounded, to be repelled. We are accused of having ulterior objects in view, and it is said by many that we should not be satisfied with Catholic emancipation. We are accused of seeking an ascendancy over the Protestants. This I un equivocally deny—we demand equality, fair honour able equality ; but we seek no predominance- r -we want that which we would give to others, that which our exertions have contibuted to procure for the Protestant Dissenters—perfect liberty of conscience. We are accused of seeking to dissolve the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland. In a body like the Catholic Association, consisting of several thou sand persons, it is not possible for me to say what may be the speculative opinions of every individual; but this I say, that in all the recorded prOCeedings, the Association has not only not evinced any dis position to sever the connexion, but that its object is to see that connexion strengthened, and placed on a firm and permanent basis; and I believe there is no rational man, however he may wish for a resident Legislature here, that is not convinced that the con nection of the countries is essential to the glory of England, and to the welfare of Ireland. Then, we are told, that radical- reform is our object. There may be, I believe there are, radical reformers in the As sociation, - but the body has pronounced, as yet, no opinion upon that subject. For niyself, whenever the queition of reforin has been introduced at Out meetings, I . have uniformly opposed its, introduc tion, not because I believe the present system of representation to be as pure and perfect as it might be—not because I do not think it capable of many improvements ; but because I see that on the question of reform, scarcely any two people are agreed, and because 1 know that so long as we are degraded as Catholics, unanimity is necessary, I have always opposed a question minconnected with ours, and. likely to produce division amongst us. A further charge is, that we contemplate the spolia tion of church property. ThiS charge we unequi vocally deny. The Duke. of Wellington, we are told, intends to settle the peace of Ireland by an ad , justment of our claims. We are also told, at other times, that he has no intention of that sort. The choice is now in his power; he may annihilate the tremendous power of the Catholic Association, by an extension of justice, or he may, by adhering to the same system of which we are the immediate vic tims, perpetuate discord and division. But what ever selection he may make, our amuse is clear; we must persevere in the steady path of dignified re monstrance—year after year, month. after month, day' after day, our petitions should pour in Upon the table of the Houses of Parliament. We must be.firm, dignified; and peaceable. The peace of the country must be preserved, and our emancipation . is certain avoid secret societies, ribboinstn, and illegal combi ntuions ; and when the.great and legitimate object of ythff meetings are over , avoid falling into the snares of your One hies, who are on the wat c h f or you ;do this and your siitte , ss is certain. His Lord ship then read the resolution, and sat down amidst the most enthusiastic applause. The lion, Mr, BARNWALL—My Lord Gormans town; the . Catholics of Ireland do not seek for eman eipatiOn, for the purpose of injuring others, but their great objeCt is to strengthen the hands of the Go vernment, and they rife guided more anxiously to re store peace to the country, than by any selfish eaten latioff's of advantage to themselves. For . my .own part, I deciato that if I thought Catholic Emancipa tion would injure . the' poorest Protestant in the country, I would be against it, The question was put, on the first rf passed unanimously. tQlution, and Several other gentlemen addressed the Meeting, which dispersed, alter a long and animated discussion. ATTACK ON THE POLICE BARRACKS AT C.ASTLETOW, IIPPERARY. (Further particulars.) The following we have received from a gentleman of undoubted Setatity !--- " About nine o'clock, oil Sunday morning, a very large body of the peasantry • paraded at Castletown, county Tipperary, dressed in various colonred rib bons, sashes, &c. and in passing by the Police bar , . racks, which i 3 within AMA et) yards of the glebe house of Castletown, one of the p olice interfered and representing the impropriety of musical instru tnents, &c. On the Sabbath-day, took the fife from the performer; the party got angry at this inter ference, and the policeman -returned the fife;, they. were not satisfied with this, however, but imme diately beat the police into their barrack with stones and proceeded to break the windows and slates with the same missiles.; the police remained at the win dows to prevent their entrance, but did not fire on them, acting with great forbearance. Some gentle men who were at Castletown-glebe, understanding that their resentment was entirely directed against the police, went up to the barrack, and succeeded in.pre vailing on the people to give up the attack; hcipes were entertained that all was now over; but in an hour and a half after, the Reverend Mr. Moylan, parish priest of Castletown, rode hastily towards the bar. rack with information that the peasantry were im mediately after him in vastly greater numbers, with an intention of murdering the police; and that un less they were got out of the barrack, they would ' positively be sacrificed, and the barrack destroyed; and that he had no influence over them, and was totally unable to stop them. This was immediately communicated to the police, and they then seeing such a body coming on them, • and hearing this in telligence, knowing that if they made a stand num bers must have besn shot, and that they themselves should be also eventually murdered, they quitted the barrack, and retreated to the house of Anthony Par ker, Esq., the neighbouring Magistrate, to act under his immediate command. The peasantry then pro ceeded to destroy the barrack, which they have effectually done, as also every article of furniture in the house. A second letter just received attics, the in surgents carried off a police carbine, and burned the barrack bedding.—Limerick Chronicle, Wednesday.

EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECII OF JOHN BOYD, EsQ., AT THE COUNTY DONEGAL LATE PaOTEsT ANT MEETING.—If we look beyond the Aisociation for what are called the signs of the times, what are we to think of the speech delivered by the Member for Derry, at the Anniversary Dinner on the 12th of August—qureque ipse miserritnus audivi. Of 111 r. DAWSON, as a private gentleman, I know little, and have nothing to say; but the speech which I then beard, coining from a quasi Minister, a servant of the Crown, and a relative of the Home Secre tary, affords metier for deep consideration. I cenfest should not be inclined to give that gentleman credit fur much judgment and discretion, when he chose such a fling and such a place to deliver such a speech, whether Mr. DAwsoN has, or has not, changed his principles. To address a company assembled to celebrate the exploits of their Pro testant ancestors, to commemorate the erection of a trophy to their gallant defender, upon the very day on which that city had, after a contest almost unexampled, been relieved from the domination of an arbitrary and bigotted Popish Monarch ; and that after dinner on that day, when wine had strongly excited those patriotic and laudable feelings, for any man to state at such time, that the events they met to celebrate excited " a painful recollection to every time lover• of his country," and that no man could read the events without " mingled feelings of triumph and disap pointment"—to eulogise SARSVIELD i❑ opposition to WALKER, as a man who had adhered to his legitimate Sovereign—a man, by the bye, who never was opposed to WALKER-and to tell them that their country was at peace and in prosperity, which was entirely owing to the moderation and purity of the Catholics, did not in my opinion argue much discretion in a practised Member of Parliament and servant of the Crown—and it was re ceived, as must have been anticipated even by himself; with every mark of the most determined disapprobation. But look at the picture he draws of the state of this country, under the dominion of the Association, fas est ab hoste docere. "It depends on the Catholic Association whether the Clergy are to receive their incomes or not. The condition of the landlords is not much more consoling ; they are already become mere ciphers upon their estates. In many places they are worse than ciphers. They have been forced to become the tools of their domineering masters, the Catholic Priesthood, and it depends upon a single breath, a single resolution of the Catholic Association, whether the land lords are to be robbed of their rents or not."—(Hear.)— When such things are stated by a Minister and servant of the Crown, I would ask any man have we not arrived at the time when every person ought to declare publicly his sentiments, and where a man remaining neuter ought to be infamous.—(Cheers.)—The aspect of affairs affords matter for deep and grave consideration. The fact is, we have been deserted by the Government, or rather there has been no Government in Ireland upon this question. Our• Lords Lieutenant and their Secretaries have been ill as sorted, and put in contradiction to each other, like horses in draft, who do not draw together. When we have a Protestant Viceroy, we have a liberal or emancipating Secretary. The Earl TALBOT, an honourable undisguised open Protestant, was coupled with a saint and an emanci pator.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. Mr. Peel; we trust, will take heed against a snare intended for him by some Brunswickers of his native place, who are getting up a public din net at Manchester, ostensibly as a compliment to their official townsman, but in reality to make a tool of him, by connecting the Right H o n. Gentleman, whether he will or not, with a corps of` Cumberland Life Guards, which is now, it w se n r : se b2 t i o t ' seems, under process of formation in that quar ter. The calico-deals - rs do not know, perhaps;, be ee impossiblea are sure th forai lt that any participation in a . party business would even were Mr. Peel no longer Secce.WY ° he ,Minister has to o of State, n i i t e t h he go C o l j .° encourage by word or look such incendiary Oro i eeedings, the declared objects of which are to frighten away argument by clamorous fury, to perpetuate an odious blot upon the free consti tution of England, and to supersede the Legis lature, in its noblest functions, by the Jacobin expedient of arbitrary and irresponsible . clubs. It is to be hoped, that if mr. . Peel be iinpor tuneu ._ Ilv these agitators to afford them his coun tenance, for sa detestable a purpose, he may read them a lecture tip on the effects of faction, . by, which they may b e r endered less dangerous to the state, if not more char-:!;able to their suf fering fellow-subjects. In Ireland, we rejoice to say that things are evidently improving. Lord Anglesea has issued a wise and humane procla mation, calling upon the Magistrates of Tippe rary to prevent any further assemblages of or ganized peasants, and directing, that if the latter overlook the salutary warning (for in that light only ought his Excellency's proclamation to be considered), they shall be dealt with according to la*, So far from this measure of the Lord Lieutenant bein r 7, likely to produce the least ill k umour in the Catholics, the . utmost efforts have been employed by the Association, and their agents the priests, to enforce the letter of the Lord Lieutenant's advice, and effectually to discontinue the 'ominous meeting of the pea santry. One party only seems to scowl with contempt and disappointment upon this peace making proclamation. A foolish and furiour; paper called the Evening Mail, would prefer (it need not take much pains to assure us of that) a direct proclamation of " martial law," to one of quiet and paternal Counsel. Now mar tial law being precisely the best expedient in the world for exciting civil war, where that blessing might otherwise be difficult of attainment, we can, on the principle of the Cumberland clubs, full well understand their angry rebuke of the Lord Lieutenant, for resorting to such a merci ful and preventive policy. The fact is, that Lord Anglesey had long ago resolved on this measure of a warning proclamation, and it is more his Excellency's own suggestion, than one imposed upon him by the Cabinet here. The . militaiy reinforcements proceeding to IreLnd are stated in our correspondent's letter this day---As we had anticipated in our yesterday's leading iiai g st amea sure Of coet article that they would be—more as an efficaci ous protection to the Catholics against the and inoJ c O ci oa r az ol e irc i s i i e n r t ai jo r d t s o aet r i s o , o ' , - bi ti v ti og n uas iiiteres t, themselves. The anxious desire, is, we repeat for the hundredth time, to achieve their emancipation through peaceable and lawful means—the Catholics, we say, will be easily managed. Not so the Orange, Brunswick, Cumberland, sangui nary clubmen. The conduct of these domineer ing Jacobins throughout the north of Ireland is beyond belief and endurance. Blood is in every syllable they utter ; their single argument is the sword ; they never think of meeting a body of Catholics but to slay theM. They menace the structure of society with utter devastation ; their existeuce is incompatible with that of any regular Govermnent, and Lord Anglesea must feel' at once the indignities with Ni.thich they bespatter ' him, and the awful perils with which they sur round and besiege his constitutional authority. These Lira Voes must be put down--if' by procla mation, well : if they despise such gentle wea pons, they must be treated to a little of their own favourite regimen—the musket and. the. gal lows. Why, we find in the Dublin Evening Post reports of meetings in the northern counties, where—to say nothing of speeches made by Clergymen worthy of Portuguese inquisitors, or of butchersthe High Sheriffs, King's Officeu:, took the chair, and listened eagerly to discourse: , which preached the broadest high treason ! Will the Irish Government, or the English, suffer such crimes to be perpetrated by its own officers with impunity ? Will au upright Go vernment warn the unarmed peasants to dis perse, and by its silence encourage the " fero cious" Orangemen to meet by thousand - sin coin plete equipment,for the field, and headed by his Anglesey not itoni ii-)te gMajesty'sy's personal representative, the High She riff' of each Orange county ? Is this impartiality? No, so destitute of moral courage, th a t i t can s h r i n k from levelling a blow at these disturbers, which I l e , beyond the Government all question; of and Lord we (1 will at the same moment strike them with con sternation and inspire confidence peaceable subjects who seek protection from the laws. of 0: their A procl a m a ti on aga i ns t th e Cumberland _ such _eir mem meetings, and a di sarm i ng f hers as disgrace the uniform of Irish yeomen, would - do more for the tranquillity of the king dom than an additional body of 20,000 troops. We repeat, however, that if no inauspicious, ac cident should occur to overcast the present.pro._;- pect, it is more cheerful than . any that preceded it within these two mouths. The .following is part, of the speech of the .B it% , Mr. H o rner at the meeting of the county of .Tyrone :-- " The policy. which : I would propose for your adoption is the policy of r esistance—resistance to all who would subvert' the constitution as .esta blished at the.era of our glorious revolution --resist ance, in the first -instance, by a firm, a - manly, an united expression of Protestant feeling; and if the enemies of the-constitution should still continue their machinations ,if they should still continue to defy the Leg i s lature, if they should continue to % , ioiate the laws, if they should still continue to seek, by clamour and by outrage, what d' expe iency and justice refuse,—then, gentlemen, under the sanction . of . ~, Kin.- your , on the summons of your Gove • , t 'lnen , resistance BY AN APPEAL ' THE TO SWORD. (The speaker was here interrupted by burst of a ,,rhe 4pplause Which lasted for several minutes.) i . Rev.
