CATHOLIC AGGREGATE MEETING. {Abridged from the 'Dublin Morning Register of Thursday.) Yesterday the most numerous and respectable Aggregate Meeting we ever witnessed took place in North Anne street -Chapel. At an early hour the avenues leading to die Chapel weracrowded, and when the doors were opened the rush was tremendous. At one o'clock the Chapel was completely tilled, and the coup ir mit was extremely magnificent and im posing. There were front six to seven thousand persons pre sent. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, Lord Goastaxs. Tows took the Chair, amid general applause. Mr. LoatenaT said, he had the honour to move the first re solution, conveying the thanks of the Meeting to N. P. O'Gor roan, Esq. for his zealous discharge of the duties of Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland. He thought such a resolution (lid not regaire any commentary, and he was sure it would meet with the unanimous approbation of all present. Mr. RUSSELL begged leave to second this resolution. It was then carried by acclamation. Mr. O'Goaacter rose and said—" My Lord and Gentlemen, since I last had the honour of attending an aggregate Meeting of the Catholics of Ireland, two events of great magnitude, and of serious and awful importance to the interests of the country, have Occurred. The Catholic Association has been dissolved ; it has been put down by brute force. Yes, Gentlemen, I shall call - it by no.other name. The acts wh ich preceded and which followed tl , at abominable and despotic measure, warrant main soolenonii notirg it. It was a measure which had neither reason nor ergo mem to support it. I hope you, my countrymen, will follow, on future occasions, the glorious example see you by that Asso ciation—that you will proceed and assert your rights, loyally, firmly, temperately, and, above all, unitedly.—( Loud cheers.) We are nut degraded by the act of our oppressors; the degrada tion tecoili upon themselves. As the Catholic Association-lived nobly, so its death was honourable and glorious. I will not he ;irate to atfiren, that it conferred more benefit on this country, in the short space of from twelve to eighteen months, than all the Kings, Senators, Statesmen, &c. that flourished in Ireland for the last 800 years. But it yielded a prompt obedience to the law of the land, and I am sure you will ha alteapi ready to 'nnitete its example. trust, however, that from its ashes another Association, like another plornix, will arise. —(Loud and lone continued cheering.)-4 lay, like another phoenix, an Association will arise, which, by all legal means and constitu tional exertions, may yet strike terror into the core of the heart • of bigotry and despotism. After eulo g ising the splendid set-- .vise, the Catholic Deputation, which he had accompanied to England, he proceeded :—Look at the situation in which we hre placed. The Prime Minister of England, at the head of an implacable and intoleranninction, in a speech attributed to him by the public 'mints, has denounced you all as rebels.— (t riee of Shame, shame.) —He has pronounced your allegiance to be divided—A say, that this is a gross and unfounded false hoed—(Here some cried shame on the mushroom Peer)— I say, that your allegiance is undivided, and that your loyalty is unstained.—(Loud cheers.)—You adhered, even in t:et worst of times, to your allegiance, and to the worst of Pr: The-state in which you are at present placed is aw feliy important. Unless, then, you stand by yourselves—unless eery individual amongst you feels, as if the success of the • cause depended on his single exertions—unless all press for ward to promote the cruse by their exertions ; and I trust these exertions will not be confined to the men, but that the women will also exercise their influence—(Loud cheers)—unless, then, the. ladies themselves come forward, and teach their young . chi seen to lisp the accents of freedom—unless they bring them to the altar, and make them swear not to hate any one, but to stand by and support, if necessary, by their blood, the liber ef their country—unless you do all this, my countrymen, your cause will not succeed. If Lord Liverpool's principles be carried into execution, perhaps in the course of 12 months not a inset here present would be possessed of a single acre of land. —(kiesr, hear!)—Lord Liverpool cannot stop, neither can you. He must either open to you the portals of the Constitution, or lie must re-enact the penal laws. Are you willing to abide such an event ?—(No, no !)—I hope that every man here is deter .. mined to tight the battle of his countre, legally and constitu - tionaily, and with that spirit, implanted" by the Almighty in the heart of man, and which even slavery cannot subdue. Legal - .:and constitutional exertions will do more to advance the cause - _and.iaterests of.your country than plains covered with blood.- IHe then read letters from Lords Fingal and Killeen, apolo -gieing for absence ; and he also read the Resolutions conic to at .the Duke of Buckingham's, which -we published on Saturday./ Mr. N. Mutton proposed the second resolution, fur appoint. ing a Committee to-prepare new petitions. Mr, COPPING En seconded it. He took a view of the past - eneation of Ireland. He said, • from the first invasion by Horny 11. down to the present moment, she has been the vic tim of persecution and oppression ; at one instant the cup of hope held up to her lips, and as quickly again (lashed to the geou li • :d . e. LAWLESS got upon the table, and was received by -gene ral hieees. N r. O'CONNEnt came forward, ;and was hailed by the most enthusiastic applause—" You all perceive that Mr. LaWless is :axiom to be heard you all know that he is anxious to be Lard ; and you all know that, as a Catholic, he has a right to be Leard. if he shall say any thing mischievous, you may be sere . 1 will not fail to answer bins. letwonss said, Mr. O'Connell was kind enough to ob. tale l'stn a hearing, and lie now congratulated these that nO , difference of opinion existed now between hioi and Mr. O'Con riell.—(Hear!)—Mr. L. then entered upon a short review of the - Lite proceedings in Parliament. in which he strongly condemned to late Relief Bill, &c. nlr. L. concluded by moving an amendment to the Resolution just prepsed, but as it seemed _ hot to Meet with the approbation of the meeting, he finally withdrew it. Sir THOMAS EsetoNDE moved a Resolution, expressing the determination of the Catholics to persevere in seeking for • Emancipation. :An II OWLET seconded it, and it was carried. Srd S. BURKE moved the fourth Resolution, which was SC OOT, ded by Mr. Slime, • who addressed the Meeting at some length.— , lie lamented the failure of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, add eornmented in strong to ms on the speeches made by the . Duke of York, the Earl of Liverpool, and the Marquis of Anelesea. • Sir .7. REE said, he was glad to bring forward a resolue Lion relative to Lord Liverpool, that lie might give his most sic-qualified denial to a statement made in a speech attributed by the public prints to the Earl of Liverpool—namely, that Cathelics bear a divided allegiance to their Sovereign. A more on just assertion never proceeded from the lips of any man. Mr. O'Coo NE en now appeared upon the table, and in stonily an unanimous shout cf delight and approbation was raised from all parts of the building, accompanied by the westing of hats and handkerchiefs, and every demonstration of regard and affection. When the effueions of these sentiments wee ennewhat moderated, Mr. O'Connell spolte thus :—Lord • 'Liverpool is determined to put down the Catholic Qestion. Truly he has put it down in a pretty fashion--(Laughtero_ lie promisesed Lord Lousdale that he would crush the Catholic care for ever, and yet it appears to be alive and merry notwith stantling.—(Laughter.)--nord Lonedale is the possessor of 8 semen boroughs. He has It) seats in the House of Commons at his disposal; and he traffics in them as cattle are sold in Smithfield, not only bartering them for places, and honours, and distinction, for the members of his family, but unfortu nately making them subservient to the base and cruel pur poses of extinguishing the rights of the Irish people. My Lard Lonsdale is a great owner of colleries ; now, before the winter is over, we shall see whether Ireland may not be sup piicd with fuel from other colleties, and we may treat my lord Lansdale to the Burning of his own coals.—(Great -laughter and applause.) My Lord and Gentlemen, this much having been said in a parenthesis, scree thing is manifest, that I will say, treacherously the Oatholics have been cruelly, anti, defeated in their struggle for their rights, in one of the Houses of Parliament, after their claims had been not only recognised, nut triumphantly established bytheother branch of the Legis latiere ; and, under these circumstances , it becomes our duty to consider what means are best calculated to ensure the ultimate attainment, for ourselves and our children. of those rights which have been so long withheld, and of those blessings which a bigot faction have so long succeeded in obstructing in their deacent, upon our unhappy country.—The -Learned Gern demon then recommended union, temperance, and firmness, to She: Catholics of Ireland. He dwelt with much compla cency on the conversion of Mr. Browniow, who, he said, was too-honourable, too honest, not to retract his error openly, generously, anti nobly, when he discovered it. And ought he not to be generous ? Was he not of necessity . noble ? It; he not the grandson of William Rrownlow the patriot of 1792, who sold that Ireland :Wes -impressed by the hand of Providence with the features of a great nation, and that it would be a crime to convert her into a pitiftilprov ince aTh a t illustrious indivi dual, with 80,000 Irish soldiers, was enabled to give to Ireland a Constitution, and to England security. But, Gentlemen, we have another assistance : we have the sentiments of the Protest ant people.of Ireland it-our-favour. This favourable disposi tion has been evinced in • Dublin, in, n Kerry, in Limerick , in Gal- Wan and elsewhere, and there is othinagainst us bu t the Orch i d of Merchants.—(A laugh.)—Andl am glad the Guild of 111 erchante was against us. - I should be fearful that we were .going - wrong if the least tendency to a - disposition in our favour coeld be discovered in that unhappy clan. He treated on , a variety of topics as he proceeded, a nd particularly noticed the Reportof the Commissioners of - Inquiry into the State of Education in Ireland, se among their causes of triumph. You . may recollect how often 1 have spoken to you of the -Kildare street Society. I have said, that they were unfit to educate the : people of Ireland. It would till fifty volumes to recount -hall the abuse that I have received for speaking ill of that society• No mood or tense was left untried—no term of abuse was for gotten ; but still I repeated, that they were unfit to educate the people. I said, that they were in connection with societies, instituted for the express purpose of creating a fraudulent and purchased system of proselytism, and of calumniating the Ca tholics of Ireland, in their annual reports. • This is my day of triumph, and I will enjoy it..—(Cheera.)—Tliere was a Com mission appointed for the purpose of inquiring into the state of education in Ireland. It consisted of .five Commissioners, one of whom at* 31r. Leslie Foster, an active member of the Kildare-street Society. This was a feature in that com mission against which I protested at the outset, for although I don't wish to say any thing indelicateor ungenteel, I have heard before now of going to law with a certain black gentleman, and holding the Court in a certain hot place.--(Laughter.)—But Mr. -Conway was of a different. opinion from me, and I am glad to say that lie was right, for even in the hot tribunal, justice has . been done. I now hold in my hand the Report of that Committee. 'Phis Society used to get 22,0001. a year for educating the people of Ireland. If Parliament act upon this report (and h ow can they do otherwise than act upon it ?) they will not get a single 6d.—(Cheers.)—lt is now declared by the Report of the Com missioners—not certainly in the rough way that I used to say it, but it - is stated quite civilly and genteelly, that these men are not fit to educate. the people of Ireland. It is not my laughing at them that they will feel bitterly, but the loss of die manage ment of twenty-two thousand pounds a year ! Oh ! how sleek and how slim the saints will look with their eyes turned up and their hands in their empty breeches pockets.—( Laughter.)— The report gives a return of the education by Catholics, Pro testants, and Dissenters. The Protestants claim 90,000 indivi duals of the Established Church, as educated by them, and 3,000 of the Butterworth pennyfolk, while the Catholic children educated in Catholic schools, are returned at 397,212. Here - are 400,004 children, we may say, educated by the Roman Catholic Priesthood, the men who are repre sented •as discountenancing education. It is really wonderful where means have - been -found -to achieve this great means of education. The Protestants, for their 90,000, have been receiving 70,000/. a-year, between . their Charter Schools and their Society for the Suppression of virtue. I described them right, though I called them by a wrong name. They have had from 70,0001. to 80,00/. a-year, for helping to educate the people. They return about one child for every pound, while the Catholics return 400,000 children as educated by them and not 500/. of the funds for this purpose have been received by grant. Remember, I - used to say, that the Protestant Clergy were bound to keep schools - in their parishes. In the parishes with which I am best acquainted, we are paying hundreds of thousands of pounds for this purpose, and yet no school has ever been kept there. My assertions as so 'the legal obligation of the persons to keep schools was denied. A whole Mail was thrust down my throat, and a Star was put blazing on my head.— (Laughter.)--Now this report says, that every Protestant Cler gyman in any rectory or vicarage is bound by oath to teach an English school in the rectory or vicarage to which he is attached. Now, the fact is, that there, is scarcely one school kept by any Protestant Rector or Vicar in Ireland, with the exception 'of one parish, where the clergyman receives 2,0001. a year for the purpose ; and being remonstrated with on the obligation imposed - on him by his oath, " Oh, well," says he, "it does not say how Long I am to teach them." So he called in the bell-ringer and two ragged boys, and got the bell-ringer to set them a copy. " There now," said he, " 1 have had an English school taught in my pa rish."—(Laughter.)—He animadverted on the late speeches of the Duke of Ydek, Lord Liverpool, and the Marquis of Anglesea, as the preceding speakers had done. He then proceeded to the following effect :—I have promised in England that there shall be a new Catholic Association.—(Cheers.)—l have promised that there shall be a new collection of the rent. —(Cheering renewed.)=—The people shall be enumerated—the censuses from the parishes are already coining in. I have this day got a census from the parish of Ardcastle, in the diocese of Meath. The return of the -Catholic population is as fol lows :—Males, 682, Females, 561—50 that you see 120 of the gentlemen • of that parish will -have to go look for wives elite where.—(Cheers and great laughter.)—However, males and fe males, they make a total of 1,243 Catholics. And then, as to the Protestants—there is but one Protestant inhabitant in the parish, and yet what do you think the poor people pay for Church cess ? No less than four fourpence an acre, although there is no Protestant Church. But there is a salary of 20/. a year fora parish clerk, who has nothing to do, and 101. more for one who is too old to do any thing.—(Great laughter.)—We shall have a list of the inhabitants of every parish, Catholics, Protestants, and Dissenters.- There shall by no more random calculations - like Mr. Foster's Now we wilil make him a present of the fraction, and we will give him whole numbers—(Laughter.)—The Association will not be Catholic alone. The first names on list will be those of eminent and distinguished Protestants. It had been 'suggested, that we should assume the dress that we wore on the occasion of the King's visit (blue frock-coat, blue waistcoat, and white pantaloous), and accordingly you see we have it here to-day,— (cheers and a laugh),—and I hope that those who wish for conciliation and unanimity would adopt the uniform, and, then, if the ,Marquis of Anglesea should make an t xcursion upon us, he will know whom to cut down. But we have also a Marquis on the other side, who was the first to send his proxy in our favour—(cheers)—we have the Noble and illustrious Do nouglimore, and we have as gallant an officer as ever wore his Majesty's uniform, the Marquis of Londonderry.—(Cheers.)— We aye also other causes of pride and Congratulation. Look at the progress of education in the country, look anthe services of the liberal press-and the liberal press, both in England and Ire land, have many claims to our gratitude anti regard.— .(Cheers.)—Mr. O'Connell concluded, by professing his deter mination, as tar as his feeble services would go, to employ them in the advancement of his country's freedom, and by expressing his hope that he should soon see Ireland, as she ought to be— • " Great, glorious, and free, The first flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea." Mr. Huau O'CONNOR concluded a very eloquent speech by proposing a resolution, declaratory of the conviction of the meeting, that Lord Liverpool, from the hostile policy mani fested by him towards the best interests of a very important portion of the empire, was unfit to be continued in the office of Prime Minist':r of Great Britain, which was carried unani mously. Sir EDWARD BELLEW then moved, that a " Committee of 2.1 Gentlemen be appointed," Mr. DOWEL O'REILLY seconded this resolution, and it was carried unanimously. The Hon. Mr. PaEs•rog moved a resolution, thanking the 53 Protestant Noblemen and Gentlemen, who signed the reso lutionspassed at the Duke of Buckingham's. Carried. Mr. O'CoNw Dox, after a short but very appropriate speech, moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Brow. nlow. Carried by acclamation. Mr. F:N.X, after eulogising Mr. Brougham, Mr. Canning, and the other splendid advocates of the Catholic cause in Par liament, moved a vote of thanks to them. Carried. Mr. J. O'Rrtr.l.r said, a Resolution had been very unex pectedly put into his hands—a Resolution to whicu, under any circumstances lie found himself inadequate to do justice—it was a vote of thanks to the liberal and independent Irish Press. All he should say was, that from his heart, and with all the talents he could command, he would move the thanks of the Meeting to the Liberal Irish Press. It was seconded by Counsellor BRADY, and carried by ac clamation. Several other Resolutions were then passed. Mr. O'CONNELL moved the thanks of the Meeting to the liberal Prcte'tant Dissenters of England, and particularly to Mr. Wilks of London, and the Rev. Mr. Sheppard; of Liver pool.—Carried unanimously. • • Mr. O'CONNELL moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Duke of Norfolk and the English Catholics.—Carried. BRAZIL.

On Sunday night, a ruffian went on the lands of Gortaderra, in the parish of Totograny, county Clare, and maliciously drove an iron spike into the body of a cow the , pro perty of a man Darned Molony. By the'activity of Mr. Coffee, chief constable of police, the vile perpetrator has been secured. On Monday night, on the lands of Cloghera, near Trough, some wretch cut a horses ear, and laid open his cheek— ( Dublin Mo: :zing Star ) • ♦V":ienever any great crime has been committed, against which the public voice is raised, there are two ways of silencing the clamour. The first by denying the whole charge, and the second by raising a counter cry against other persons more clamorous than the first. Thus, it is often seen, that ashen a thief in the streets is pur sued, lie joins in the cry, and, pointing to another person before him, directs the public attention against an innocent individual, and he himself contrives to escape in the confusion l►e has thus created. 1 t is just this feeling %s hid' has given rise - to au article published in an " ob scure" (we quote its own epithet) Sunday Newspaper yesterday on the subject of the Deccan Prize Money. The author of this " Manifesto," for so it must be called, seeing that he had taken up a case altogether inde fensible, in compliance with the prudent and edifying example of a skilful pickpocket, wisely abandoned the defence, and betook him to slander and calumniate the persons with whom he supposed the charge against his friends to originate, but, who in fact had as much to do with it as the author of the article above , mentioned. The Army of the Deccan, under the command of Lieut.-General Sir THOMAS litsLor, in the course of its victorious career, captured a certain quantity of booty. This booty the munifice of the Crown devoted to the reward of the brave men who risked their lives in the service of their country, and who, in the course of that service, acquired it by conquest. After some trouble, in refuting the idle claims of the East India Com pany and the Grand Army under the command of Lord IIAsTiNGs, the Crown decreed that the booty should be divided in the usual ntanner be tween .the actual captors. In order to give due ef fect to this decree, his MAJESTY vested the pro ceeds - of the Prize in two Trustees, viz. the DuKE of WELLINGTON and Mit. AItfIuTHNOT. Notwithstanding this was a departure from the old system, which always, for obvious reasons, conferred the office of Trustee on the Com mander-in-Chief at the time of capture, still no fears were entertained, the army relying on the well known c haracter of the Duke of W ELLI NG- Tort, and judging of that of his Colleague from his association with the Noble Duke, and from the fact of his having been appointed by his MAJESTY. But let us see how far the confidence of the Crown, iu the integrity of the Trustees, 14as been well placed, or how far the brave army of the Deccan has reason to be satisfied with their con duct: and let this fact speak-for them—the booty was captured in the years 1517 and 1.515, the warrant of the Ring directing its division amongst the actual captors, and nominating the trustees, was obtained on the 22d March, 1823, and to this day THE WHOLE OF TILE MONEY REMAINS UNDISTRIBUTED!!! Out of this circumstance, the Paper in question raises three charges against the Prize and Law Agents of the Captors, .and by this means en deavours to throw the odium of the delay from the shoulders of the trustees to those of the Priie and Law Agents. i n the first place, after stating that Lord HASTING 3 memorialised the Authorities in England on behalf of the Bengal (or . G rand) Army, It goes on to say, " that the East India Company lost no time in submitting this question to the Lords of the Treasury ;. but in consequence of the legal impediments thrown in the way by the advisers of the respective parties to the appeal (which by the by was, no appeal,) their Lordships did not arrive at a decision on tft-_, point, although submitted to them in March, 1819, until March, 18'23." That is the first charge.. 41'-‘,The second charge is, that (to adopt the very elegant phrase of the trustees themselves) there was' a desire " to go to law," or in other words that Lawyer ATclicsost, as.the. author of the paper, terms the highly honourable and respectable Gentleman, to whom this business was con fided by Sir THOMAS' 111 SLOP and the Prize agent, was desirous of involving the question in. the intricacies of a suit in Chancery, with a view . of putting money into his own pocket. The third charge is, that the delay that 'has taken place in the distribution of the Prize-money was attributable to the conduct of the Law and Prize Agents of the Army, not fo.the Tl.ustees. These three charges are the sum total of a very long article in The English Gentleman -(what perversion of terms) of yesterday, and we proceed now to deal with them in detail, and thence wilt clearly shew that the. hole is " a tissue of false hoods, because the mutilation and suppression .of facts convey a face of falsehoods as much as a bold and direct lie." We stop at this comma, because we really. are " English Q e utle. men," and therefore not in the habit of tellino, any person to his face that lie lies as this t'apo . has done. With regard then to the first charge.viz. that the • delay in obtaining the . decision of the Privy Council was owing to the impediments thrown in the way by the respective parties, we say that those im pediments were thrown in the way, not by the Prize or Law Agents of the Army of the Deccan, but by those of the Grand A rtny, by Lord II A ST'ING S and his friends, who were seeking to establish a new principle in the distribution of prize mnoney• That the question was, with. great, alacrity, sub mitted to the Lords of the Treasury by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, may be accounted for by the fact, that they modestly laid claims to no less than half of :the money, on the ground of being Sovereigns of the country in which the prize was captured. Now, with reference to the second charge, the desire to go to law. With what feelings could this have been made, when the pamphlet; referred to by the author of the article corn.. plained of was laying on his table with a folk and able refutation of this silly accusation, and which we quote ? The author of the pamphlet is speaking of the condition imposed on Sir T , Ifistor by the Trustees, if they allowed him to inspect certain papers in their custody, which Sir TnomAs had earnestly requested permission to see. lie then goes on " What is the pretence for that restriction ? That some per' sons, not specified, have manifested a strong desire " to go to law," as the Trustees elegantly phrase it ; a'charge which 14 refuted by the whole conduct of the Legal Advisers of the ArroY l a charge which, if applied to the - Counsel for the Army, is alin dandy refuted by the mere mention of their names, in the jug ment of all who understood their character or that of the pro , fession which they adorn ; a charge absurd as applied.to of one, because the Trustees employ an Attorney of their owls - choice, the Solicitor of the Treasury, and consult the Law CO' cers of the Crown, so that the office of the Legal Advisers of the Army, even in the event of a suit, would be confined supplying such evidence and paper: as others should reviirg:, Nothing, surely, but a painful . doubt of the justice of theirlo' restriction could induce the Trustees to condescend to such ar imputation, as that which they cast in the letter which nounces it, on the Counsel, professionally, consulted on belin of the Army—gentlemen of as unsullied honour as the Truste, f l ; themselves—one of whom has since been raised to the Bee v and all of whom are gentlemen of rank and eminence in a 1 4 . he fession, of which the humblest members would repudiate 1',4 charge with disdain. Besides a liberty to inspect the accot3:, would not be an authority " to go to law," nor divest the Tirei f tees of that controul which they now possess, _but would ! tint, enable the Agents of the Army to give the Trustee: better fry, formalion than they can otherwise obtain, relating to the jects of their trust. And yet on this pretext, an inspection refused, unless coupled with a restriction which rendered mere mockery ; a great mass of information collected with iflr mense labour and large cost is rendered useless ; and the Ari.or are left in utter darkness as to the proceedings to be a do p ted recovering booty which the Crown has granted e xpreselYto their benefit, and appropriated. as the reward of their g al ' a exertions !" 'Ve What will the public say to this, what m e" could induce any one to utter a slander so g raO' e , tous as this with a full refutation of it 'bel.°oro him. We shall not give way to our indig nati , on this kind of conduct, - for sure we are !'c public will mark it, and requite the auelv accordingly. The last charge is, that the deleL, time distribution of thiS prize-money is,la he potable to the prize and Law Agents of et Trustees. This charge, like the foregoing t di fi , is another attempt at " mutilation and s°lll-/ pression of facts," and originates in t same detestable motive from which the cha.rtto, of desiring "to go to law" sprung. its refu t e } %yes contained in the pamphlet we have voss fore quoted, and nothing therefore but a t" perverse and malignant disposition could sti l c i, late any one to the repetition of a charge ‘v i ! ci l d he knew to be false from other sources 1 ) 1 eo the pamphlet in .question. However we will . et o deavour to compress the facts, and place thy before our Readers. that they may J udge themselves. Up to obtaining the . warrant of the KING o lt the appointment of time Duke of WELLI I4OI O O and Mr. ARBUTII NOT as - 'Trustees affairs went he l very well, and there could be little doubt tvoit would have continued to go on well, but fl r bii extraordinary ()Onion which his Grace 0 0 %10 colleague choose to entertain as to their du tie 4ll this particular. In a letter dated Woodford : 1 00 Oct., 1823, they call themselves Trustees fi io t , Grown. The warrant of his MAJESTY, 0 10„(eC t ins them, expessly says that they were apP °l ' v e in trust ' t fo: the purpose of collecting, ITO e 1,14 ing,and receiving,all the said boot y,or the procesd or value thereof thereby granted, from th e 0 4 united Company, their Ofiicers,and Servan ts, ll ,l! all other persons into whose hands the salv e o ot, have fallen ;" and yet in defiance of the wi irr dge as it were, they erected themselves lute .P t he` between the captors and their ad versari e ' , oeiv persons into whose hands . the booty had f " 1 „ From this circumstance the whole of the del3l;seos the whole of the misunderstanding have ` .

The French Admiral here has pursued the same conduct.

This people are not. yet fitted far such a Constitution as England happily processes, but then . a good Government would seek to adopt means corresponding to their present condition and progressive advancement in the scale of intellectual society.
