The• Irish Cosh°lie Aggregate -Resohnictot of
Hitt were lately revived iu a Dublin Paper, in
which it was stated that they hod mot origin's:od Hi

Opposition in London, from whence they
transmitted by a member of the faniily of the :v.,
Mr. PORISONSY. These Resolutions fro charrtl
a* ' offensive to the Government, end, isinnten
to the cause which they proposed to promote,_
Why the reputed parents should at this porticshir
moment Net anxiety to disown an fairing
they had for seven years acknowledged, we can f.,rnr
no conjecture. hut it is easy to conceive that i•..
friends and relatives of the late lamenterl
PossosaY should feel anxious to protect
memory from tile charge of advising a meals!,
described as offensive to the Sovereign and
Orions to the cause which he professed to advocas.
No leader of Opposition ever conducted hinut'i
with more discretion, and leis in the spirit of party,
than that jtst.t, able, and ami tide Right Hon. Gen.
%lemon. Cool and collected in judgment, pla:id in
temper, kind and conciliatory in mamma, and bred
and practised in the Laws and Constitution of les
country, he was of all men the least likely to have
I been betrayed into an intemperate act, at once
offensive to the Government and injurious to its
own cause, and if others had not pride enough to save
them from the humility of adopting such act as
their own, he had too high and delicate a sense of
honour to maintain his character at their expense.
His son, eeling himself called upon to repel this at.
tack on the memory of his father, lately pnintoted
two letters iu the Dublin Paper in which it was
made, which we lately copied. These letters, is
which lie denied on the part of his late lainettlitl
father, himself, sod his relatives, any participates
in the transaction as the authors of the Resolut:rse,
or the medium through v. hich they were tae...
mitted to Dublin, were not considered sufficiently
explicit by the Paper to which we allude, and IV.
PoSSOXBY has in consequence written a third letter
to the Editor of the same print, which we subjoin,
I hoping that it may prove fined and decisive of 1114
very ungrateful controversy :—..

" a paragraph which appeared in your Paper 4
yesterday evening, in answer to a letter addressed by me in
you in July last, you assert that my siatenseat in that ',me

or connexions, any participation iehaterer in the Kroll at no+,
adopted by the Catholic Aggregate Meeting in 1812) cu. w
fur nothing,' farther than as it relates to myself. When I
made that statement, I meant it should, in the fullest man.
nor, apply to my family and connexions individually and
collectively. Ido so still, and unless you can, by naron
the numbers of neyfauttly you allude to, disprove my former
and proforma contradiction, your assertions sad insintiatiws
must be considered as totally unfounded. In aildrnr,„T
you on this subject 1 did nut mean in approve or dirap, in
of the Resolutions adopted by the Catholic Aggregate
fog in 1812, I merely meant to contradict that, which 1 con.
shier (as far as my family, tektite:, or conueziour are
coacerned) an insidious calumny.
