A3fERICAN CONGRESS.
It H,

In the House of Heeireeen=* on the 6th of January, the
lowing extraordinary Message was presented front the President
b.. To the Senate snei House of Representatives of the Unit 41
Stites.
" As the term of thy servile in this high trust will expire at the
end of the present Session of Congress, I think it proper to invite
your intention to an ob,ject very la:eating to me, and which. in
he mokemeen of ter Gu'vernntent, is deemed, on principle, (Aral y
interesting to the public. I have been long in the service of my
country, and in its most critical conjunctures, as well librettd
as at Leine, in the course of which I have had a control o wee the
public monies to a vast amount. If, in the course of my service,
it shall appear on the most severe seentiny, which I invite, that the
public have sustalned any loss by an act of mime, or of others, for
which I ought to be held responsible, I am willing to b2ar If,
on the other hand, it shall appear, on a view of the law, and of
precedents in other Weir, that justice has been withheld frem me,
in any instante, as I have believed It to be in many, and {,ready
to my injury, it is submitted whether it ought not to he re-consi-
dered. It is my wish that all matters of account and claims be-
tween my cnuntly and myself, be nettled with that strict regard es
justice which is observed in settlements laCtween individuals in pri.
rate life. It would be gratifying to me, and it appears to be iust.
that the subject should be now examined, in both reseed& , with
vizir to a decision of the he rafter. No bill would, it is presumed
be presented for my signature, which would operate either for o e
against me, and I would tert silty sanction note in my tavo.
is title here, I can furnish testimony, applicable to any ease, in born
views, which a full investigation may require, anil the Committee
to whom the subject may be r.,f.rreti, by reporting tacts now, with
a view to a decision after my retirerneit, will allow time for further
information, anti duu consideration of all matters relating thaw,.
Settlements with a person in this trust, which could not be made by
the accounting Officers of the Government, should always be made
by Congress, and betare the public. The cause of the delay in pre:
renting these claims will be explained by the Commitase to whom
the subject may be referred. It will, I presume, be made appa-
rent that it was inevitable; that, from the peculiar cirenmetances
attending each case, Congress alone could decide on it ; and that,
from considerations of delicacy, it would have been highly improve.
fa me to have saught it ham Congress at an earlier period than
that which is now proposed—the expiratien el my term in this high
trust.

" Other ronsiderations appear to me to operate with great force, in
favour of the measure which I now propose. A citizen, who has
long served his country, in its highest trusts, has a right, if he has
served with fidelity, is enjoy undisturbed tranquillity and pest* in
Iris retirement. This he cannot expect to do, unless his conduct,
all pecuniary concerns, shall be placed, by severe scrutiny, on a
basis not to be shaken. This, therefore, forms a string motive
with me for the inquiry which I now invite. The public mar also
derive considerable advantage, front the precedent, in the future
movement of tl a Government. It being known that such scrutiny
was made in my case. It may form a new and strong barrier against
the abuse of the public confidence in future.

" Washington, Lth Jan. 1825."
In the House of Representatives, on the 11th. a long and spi-
rited debate arose upon the question of referring the Message to a
Committee. The motion of Mr. Forsyth, however, for referring is
to a Select Committee, with instructions, was ultimately c riled by
a majority of 2& The Select Committee consisted of seven Mem-
bers.
Another Message from the President was received, agreeably w
resolve of the !louse of Representatives on the 4th instant. call-
ing for information on the sul,ject of the abuse of the Cluitel
States flag, by Naval Officers, on the coast of South America. In
this communication it is stated, that Commodore Stuart boil beet
suspended from service, until the decisim of a Court Martial was
had thereon ; that as certain charges had been preferred against
that Officer by Judge Provost, the Coated States Agent in Pero.
he had b-en x:dered home to support his allegations ; but that, in
the meantime, it was thought expedient not to communicate to
Congress the information risked, which might tend to excite imp:o-
- prejudices whilst the case was pending.

THE USURY LAWS.

Mr. Sergeant Onslow's " Bill for repealing the laws
which prohibit the taking of interest for money, or limit
the rate thereof," has been printed. The preamble, after
reciting the several statutes now in force against Usury,
proceeds—
" And whereas it is not expedient that the rate of interest sho .11
be fixed or limited by law
" Be it therefore enacted by the King's moat excellent MiCeity,
by and with the advice and convent of the Lords Spiel and
Temporal, and Commons, in Parliament assembled, and by the
authority of the same, that from and after
that ao much of the hove recited Acts, as prohibits the taking of •
interest fur money or other things, or limits, regulates, or yes:mina.

taking or receiving, or contracting fur the same, or as make. void
any contracts or securities to be unide or entered into, stall be re-
pealed, and the same is hereby repealed, and tn.ule utterly null and
void, to all intents and purposes.
" Provided alwrys, That in all cases where interest is due by
law, and there is no special agreement in writing, cuatcru of trade
or rule, or order of a Court of Law or Equity, limiting or tiring the
rate of interest, that the interest to be charged and recovered to

and after the rate of five pounds for the hundred porn Is by the
year, In the kingdom of Great Britain, and at Rite- the rate
of six pounds toe the hundred pounds by the year, in the kingdom
of lreLnd."

Mr. Edmund Henry-Lushington, late Chairman of the
Colonial Audit )3oard, and Master of the Crown Office,
has been superannuated by Act of Parliament, a Ma-
ting minute of which was laid upon the table of the flouse
of Commons, on Monday night.
INUNDATION AI H•IIRI:AGH.—Extract of a letter,
dated Hamburgh, Feb. 4.:—" With the full moon (yester-
day) we were again visited with an extraordinary inunda-
tion, or natural phenomenon. At four in the afternoon the
.
signal guns announced high water ; in the evening we had
thunder and lightning, with the first considerable fall of
snow ; this continued till late at night, with frost. At one
o'clock this morning the guns again announced that the
title had attained the height at which the signal is usually
given, and it rose this time even higher than the extraor-
dinary flood of the-15th November hat year. About three
o'clock the water suddenly fell several feet, and then stood
still—from which it may be inferred that a dyke must have
given way somewhere in the neighbourhood—the further
subsiding of the water, which was expected at five o'cloc:.
with the ebb, was so slow, that at nine o'clock, when we
write this, the streets were still inundated, and the storm
continues to rage. It may be imagined that a great guartity of merchandize has been injured in this terrible night.
We have just heard that the apprehended breaking of a
dyke took place in the city dyke, near the saw mills, we shall
perhaps hear of others.—P.S. To-day, at noon, we had 3
great thunder storm, and drift snow : soon after the air
was calm, and the sun shone in full splendor. The watt r
which had fallen to 12,1 feet, began to rise again at one
o'clock. This morning a house on the quay (vortelmer)
fell down, the foundation being sapped by the high water.
Nobody was injured."
Wool. TRADE.—Thirteen-pence per lb. was the cut.-cut
price at which most of the wool (for combing purposes,
was sold in Yorkshire till within a few weeks, when an
advance of one penny per lb. took place. About three
weeks since 13d. was offered ; a week after 161 ; and now
1141. is the general price, one or two individuals having ob-
tained well up to 19d.; the advance has been so rapid and
sudden, that the growers have been taken rather by sur-
prise; and the present feeling appears to be in favour oi
much higher prices, as very little of the old stock is new
in the possession of the growers.—Leeda Mel cur!.

Mr. LTALL rose to propose the health of the Noble Lord, !I
ybo did the Society the distinguished honour to preside at their !
salmi festival that day. He WAS happy to have this opportunity, on
hi own part, and that of the Society, to return to that noble person
their grateful acknowledgments for the uniform kintlnens and at-
untion which he at all flutes showed to the interests of this Society,
thnach which they had been released of atone rettrictions, the re.
tar,al of which, as far as circumstances would allow, with a due
sue-aloft to other interests connected with them, had effected so
grew and general an improvement. The Noble hoed had also
!roamed a disposition to afford every facility in his power to ad-
Twee those useful objects of the Society, whim they may have had
ta afft, not in has immediate province, but in other departments
of the 'Government. This Society cotdal never sufficiently attest
thee:meta the obligations it owed his Lordship. tae could only
or, that his services were deeply felt, and gratefully appreciated
lt its inendsers. ( Much applause.) Ile would, without further
intact, propose the health of their Noble President, the Earl of
Lterpoot.
This toast was received by the Company with loud cheers, which
lasted for several minutes. When the cheering had begun to sub-

•
such a Society it is therefore to me a matter of high gratification to
be received with so much kindness. . •
The Right Iloneurahle Gentleman resumed his seat amidst Tel
long continued acclamations.
51r. T. ICi hsox, NI.P. said that he had been selettod to pm
pose the health rat a Right Honourable Gentleman, the Pay-minter
General of the Forces—a toast which he wan ant:stied would bs
extremely acceptable to the Society. They would bear in recollec-
tion the services he hail rendered them, in the Committee of shiett
he was Chairman, appointed to introduce alteration's into thane
commercial and excise laws which had been found inconvenient
their operation. His conduct in the discharge of that duty.was
marked hy gentlemanly deportment and by an aniciout feeling to
consult the interests of the Shipowners. (Hear, bear.) Jt, did
happen that laws relative to trade, which probably at an earlier
penod were not attended with any inconvenience, yet in the pm,
greys of time, and from the increase of commercial enterprise, be-
came extremely so. It was to remedy this evil that the Committee
had been appointed; it had effected many improvements; it la.
Inured zealously and usefully, and no member of it more so than
its Chairman, whose health he begged to propose, and to whom he
was glad to have an opportunity, on his own part and that of the
Society, of rendering this tribute of their esteem and gratitude.
(Applause.)
Sir C. LONG begged to assure the Society that the Committee,
whose conduct his Hon. Friend eulogised, originated with his No.
ble Friend (Lord Liverpool), and that the instructions which that
Committee had received from the Noble Lord, wan principally to
consider how beat they could promote the commercial and shipping
interest (applause) as far as was consistent with the just collection
of the revenue. This object they ennearoured to accomplish, and
it was to them an extreme gratification if they succeeded in their
endeavours, 140 as to promote the interest of the Empire g nerally,
and of that Society in particular, which he regarded as one of
the moat respectable, influential, and important bedics in the
Country.
Lord Lietartooz next proposed the health of—" The Vice.
Presidents."
Mr. BUCKLE returned thanks on the part of the Vice-Presi.
dents. if leanly devolved on him to offer his and their grateful
acknowledgements to the Noble Lord. and the other distinguished
Gentlemen who that day favoured the Society with their company,
they had further to convey theassurance of their gratitude for the
very favourable sentiments they had expressed towards it, and for
their approbation of its objects, and promise to promote them.—
(Hear, hear !)
r. CHAPICL also returned thanks on the part (as we under-
stood) of the Vice-Presidents, and proposed the health of the
" Chairman of the Society" (Ir. Lyall), who briefly returned
thanks.
" The City McMinn."
Alderman WOOD, in returning thanks, said that he had been
connected with the City of London for thirty years, and with the
Corporation of London for twenty. During that period he had
frequent oppormnities of observing the attention which the Noble
Lord who presided at their annual festival that day, had rendered
to the Port of Londor. lie believed the same attention was ex-
tended to the other parts of the country—but us to the improve.
meros in the port of London—far one measure—that respecting
London bridge—he felt personally obliged, in particular (a slight
'laugh) to the Noble hord. This measure could not be too highly
praised—it was must important to the shipping interests—for what
was, the use of shipping without modes of navigation? (Much
laughter.) For this he begged again to say he was personally ob.
liged to the Noble Lord, and he hoped to see other improvement!,
introduced into London. and the several large ports of the country
that require them, for the purpose of affording facilities to commer-
' cial pursuits.
Alderman BaYDOES and Mr. T. Vinsom briefly returned
thanks.
hoed LIVERPOOL next rose to propose a toast, which would be,
and ought to be, received by that Society. The adventurous life
that these engaged in the naval service underwent, subjected them
to calamities, and to accidents that disabled them. It was the duty
of those who were served by their spirit and their enterprise, to pity
and relieve them. This consideration stweradded a strong claim to
that which the aged and the infirm always had en charitable and
feel in_g minds. (Applause.?
The .Seaman's Hospital."
" The Stewirtls of the day."
Mr. B. SHAW returned thanks on the part of the Stewards. But
two or three years ago disappointtnent hung upon commercial prin.
pecta of this country. The vessel was becalmed in the waters, her
ffag was struck, but now she rides triumphant through the waters.
and transports the superfluities of Britain to the most distant parts
of the globe. Her naval superiority had been established ; her coin.
inertial greatness was also advancing.
There in a title in the affairs of men,

The Earl of Lietnenoe rose and addressed the company to
:Sr following effect :—Gentlemen, I beg to return you my Sincere
thanks for the honour you have done me. I shduld be ashamed in
this extety to say any thing that I would not oleo say in any other
excieany in the world, but I have always declared it <6 be a part of
en polnicil creed, that, amongst all the great intereets of the coun-
tiy, the interests of navigation are the most pedeoinent and impor-
tsar. (Applause.) This is what I have always said, and firmly
maintained, though I am well aware that some have thought I did
IX fully appreciate the length to Which th:y carried their opinions,
practically applied to this subject. I have always held that though
u was the duty of Government to keep an equal balance among the'
rat interests of the country, not showing favour to any one to
the prejudice of the others, yet If there was any one in favour of
whisk the balance should incline—if theta was any interest that
should be cherished, favoured, and protected. it was the interest of
navigation. (Great applause!: It Is craw the object of Government
to take advantage of the present period of peace toperoove the incon-
'mint restrictions that have, from mistaken views, been imposed
en the commerce and navigation of the cour.try, and it is equally
'oar object to extend that commerce and navigation to every part of
Oe world to which it can properly be extended. (Applause.) But,
Gentlemen, in pursuing this object, we have carefully regarded the
just rights and feelings of others. We have done no act that was
rot founded in justice, and, at the raw lime, perfectly cosimatible
with our engagements to other Powers, and as much for the benefit
of mankind at large as of these dominions to which we belong.
His 1,01401/plat down amidst the general applause of die com-
pany.
Mr. Maws:two, 31. P. tem to propose the health of another
Cabinet Minister, who had done the Society the honour to favour it
with his presence that day, and of whom lie would say whit he
sinerelyieelieved, that there was no person more strongly attached
to the Naval and Commercial interests of this country. (Hear,
beer.) He has proved this by the atreniion and success with which
he has dewed his exertions to promote these, as well as the other
interests of the country. (Applause.) In whatever new treaties
had been, or might be formed, whiles he held the seals of office. he
wa satisfied ail these interests would be dftly consulted. (Hear,
hear.) It was gratifying to them, as merchants, to have heard the
First Minister of this country pronounce so favourable a sentiment
towards this Society ; it must have excited' proud feeling within
them. stud was alike grateful to their feelings, and advantageous to
their interests. (Applause.) The Shipping Interest had certainly
a re-eminent claim on the support of the country—in peace and
lame they contributed to its glory end its strength : in peace, by the
commercial intercourse which Great Britain carried on with all
tam of the world ; and in war, by being the nursery of that navy
ehich displayed the valour and sustained the greatness of the peo-
ple of these countries. He concluded by proposing the health of
the Right Honourable George Canning, and the rest of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers.
The applause that followed this toast was entlausiastitally main-
tained for the longest period we recollect to have witnessed on
any similar occasion. It was renewed with even greater force when
the Hight Honourable Gentleman rose to address the company.
At length silence was obtained.
Mr. CAN I; I ItO then spoke to the following purport: Gentlemen,
I rise to return my cordial thenke on behalf of myself end.my col.
leagues, for the bonne you have conferred upon us. It is true,
as it was well ohserved by the Hon. Gentleman. whose kindness
led him to propose my bealth in terms se flattering to me—it is
a satisfactory circumstance belonging to this fine country alone, that
the Ministers of the Crown can mix with their countrymen on occa-
siom of this description, and freely communicate information on
mutes of the greatest interest, with perfect sincerity, and a com-
plete absence of all disguise. There is nothing at this moment in
the policy of England, whether external or internal, that will not
bear the crucible, and that will not cone forth brighter on every
mamination. (Applause.) Gentlemen, for • hang time we were our-
selves under the impression that our commercial prosperity—the
foundation of our national power—arose, in great measure, from
same mysterious combination, sonic artitieiel system, into the depth
sh:ch other nations were not initiated. We must, therefore, not
blame them if they have adopted a creed altogether false in its
principles, and altogether false in its consequences. The time has
now !uppity come when the favourable circumstances that sure
rounds us, have given us the power to bring into operation
the just and wise maxims of a sound, not a spurious, phi-
lose:4l; and his .Majesty's Government have been enabled gradu-
ally to carry into effect those legislative changes, by which the
system of our commercial policy has been rendered of • plailSr
and more intelligible character. But we must not be surmised
if ocher countries are not yet sufficiently advanced in their
knowtedge of this question to be thoroughly aware of the prin-
ciples on which we are acting, nor if they should think
we are only adopting a new mystery, and inviting them
to follow us in a path which can lead only to the accomplish-
"fie of purposes exclusively selfish. (Hear, hear.) If it was dif-
ficult before, even fur ourselves. to learn Cie secret by which we
Prospered, it is more difficult for us now to teach others the im-
Portant uuth, that we have prospered only by those natural means
which Providence has been pleased to bestow upon us, and that
every other natiea contains within itself a similar capacity of pros-
ehich it is our wish and intermit to see developed. (Ap-
plause.) While, however, we cultivate the established relations
of commercial intercourse subsisting between us and the other
Sates is this part of the world, we are opening new opportunities
far enterprise in distant regions. The inexhaustible industry, the
accumulated capital, the irrepressible energies, of this country,
earrY it continually forward in search of new markets, and induce
it toatste seed supply the wants of all mankind. (Applause.) If,
in the train of our commerce, our national greatness were not also
advanced, our feelings of pride and gratification would be checked in
their career; but we know that there is not a sea on which the com-
menial flag of England DOW waves, where our naval superiority has
Imatuvuestablialied ; and we may feel :mitred, that every new field
commemial enterprise, will become in time a scene of British
74". T 1 sad a theatre of our naval glory. (Great applause.) No
"Aim) has contributed more to uphold the maritime power of this
country, than this w..n,:h I now have the honour to address. By

Which, taken at the flow, leads on tnforture."
Eng%lid wait non sn situated, and would speedily float to complete
commercial prosperity, the beat and surest foundation of national
greatness.
Lord LIVERPOOL proposed the " Bank of England," an Insti-
tution, of all others, the most conducive to the permanent pros-
perity of the country.
Mr. MANNING (the Bank Director) briefly returned thanks on
the part of the Bank.
Lord LI v En root., before taking leave of the company, said he
was desirous of giving one toast more—one he had often given, and
one that should never be forgotten, as it was the best and securest
bulwark Of all 'our tower and greatness, " The Wooden Walls of
Old England."
Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning, (who were lordly cheered as
they passed through the room!, as well as the greater part of the
compeasy. retired at a few minutes after ten o'clock. The utmost
regularity and good order prevailed throughout the evening.

MEZZOTLNTO.—Line engraving aml etching have each
their peculiar excellence—the distinguishing properties of
the !Inner are strength and precision—of the latter, boldness
anti freedom of delineation. The characteristic of mez-
zotint° is softness, but this branch of the art is at length
brought to that degree of perfection which combines the
richness and spirit of outline, with all that force of light
and shadow, which it obtains from the improved manner
of laying ground, which was unknown to the earlier mas-
ters. Our artists in the present day as much exceed White

drawing of Charles Penny, may be adduced in proof of
this. His Lordship is represented in his judicial costume,
and the likeness is extremely well preserved. If we wanted
an additional proof that mezzotint° was better adapted for

refer in proof of it to this print. la landscape, and in

THE.BRITISH PRESS...

C'.l TIIO 1, IC ,LSSOCIATION.

WEDNESDAY, FED. 9.
Shortly after onr o'clock the great room of the Imildhik on
.Burgh-quay wan completely filled. The ladies' gallery was abe
crowded at an early hour.
About three o'clock Lord Kir-brim was called to the Chair,
and eddresseil the meeting. There never was., in the history of
,Irish Catholic affairs, a period so important as the present. luring
the last Session of Parliament the Cathulice presented their pett.
tion to the Legislature, snd at the commencement of tier present
Session, although the Lords Commissioners' Speech represented
the country as in the most flourishing condition—peace, traitiail.
lity, and prosperity throughout the British empire, yet the Catho-
lics looked in rain to the Speech from the Throne for the word
conversion, while there was wrongly expressed-the determination of.
bringing forward a new proscriptive enactment, not merely to op-
press the Irish Catholic*, but to strike at the root of British liberty,
of which, in this country, little but the name was known. (Loud.
cheers.) It was, however, consoling to find, that their Protestant
brethren were coining forward in the cause of conscience. Without
the concurrence and support of their Protestant countrymen, the
Catholics could Lever expect emancipation, and it behoved them
to be watchful, that the snares of their opponents ►ead them into
no indiscretion, calculated to forfeit the good feeling of the Protest-
ants., Ile conjured them, not '• by the hate they bore to Orange-
men," but by the love they owed all men—the stake they had in
their cottotry—the veneration they owed to the memory of their
forefathers—the fidelity with which they cling to their religion,
which neither the lure of emolument, nor the apprehension of pu-
nishment, could shock, to submit to the burs with the fortitude of
men, and the obedience of subjects. His Lordship concluded
amidst the Most gene•il applause.
The rent received during the last week was announced. It
amounted to time hundred and forty-five pounds and sixpence.

SUPPRESSION OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Alr.O'Coltater.t then rose to move the draft of Resolutions, ap-
plicable, he acrd, to. the proceedings for annihilating the Associa-
tion and the princildes of the British Constitution. It was time
that the Association should deliberately consider the course to be
pursued molar existing circurasnultg ; and in order to arrive at a
Just conclusion, it was necessary to undersfand their retie position,
that they might not tlelude themselves hi: unfounded hope, or be
dismayed by unnecessary fear ; above all. they shouhl choose that
moderation in phrase, and evince that mild disposition of temper
natural to men who feel that they are right, and that those opposed
to them are committing injustice. Blur *Weyer should be the re.
stilt of the intended measures, it would be his first and last prayer
to his countrymen, that they should obey the Ipws. In five lines
the parliament could suppress the Association, and when the
measure should obtain all the necessary sanctions, that moment
'they would submit td !t. But While there was a possibility of dis-
suading the Legislature from perpetrating an act of such injustice,
it was the duty of the Asimehition to -innonstrate respectfully
against it. Ministers have rimed dolt the country is peaceful--
that the people are brought to a proper siihmissien to the con-
stituted authorities—and as they are not about to receive the re-
Wand and benefit which is usually granted to useful subjects, and
those deserving well of their country, they might at least be per-
mitted to noire their vdices atainst additional persecution, and the
re.enactinent of the old penal code.. (Loud cheers.)
.It was .evi-
dent that the intended Act of r#liament was not meant to apply
to mischievous proselytising associations, mork-constitaticmal socie-
ties, or Orange institutions, fertile ineritrie. Thedignitaries of that
abominable faction were unit.? the Protenon of the Castle. There was
no act intended to dissolve them, although something of the kied was
pretended to be enforced, but the to cal ascentinocy men despised its
provisions, and, in the face of Goternmint, proclaimed their deter-
mination not to submit to its etinetments. Widely different would
be the course taken by the Catholic Associaticin, who hod made up
their minds to submit to the laws. But, beyond what the law
might exact, no submission could be expeettd that would prevent
the Association front pursuing the most effectual mode of embody-
ing the liberal sentiments of their Protestant fiends with their own
views, for stimulating the progress of educatlim, distinct front the
evils of proselytism—for the promotion of union, pease, and pros-
perity amongst all classes of British subjects, end, while they pro-
fessed that determination, they owed to thertmeires also to declare,
they never would acquiesce in any crouching submission to the ex-
' Unction of their natural rights as free-born men—that they would
,stretch to the extent of their arms'-way, and if they could not suc-
ceed in unriveting their fetters, they would at least have the me-
lancholy consolation of clanking them, that the sound of their
misery might ring he the ears of their oppressors. (Applause.)
Submission to the law was a duty Catholics owed to their conscience.
They would pursue that discreet course, while they opposed the
iliming evil in the spirit of the Constitution—they would protect
Ose peasant from himself, by impressing upon him tl:at it is not in
lbe orgies of secret legislation he would find • shield against the
villany of domestic orpressors. but in the honest), of the law, which
means will be taken to procure for hint. He would be content to
submit to any law having the semblance of equity or common
sense; or if it were made to appear that the Association had ten.
dered the Government unstable—lf they had retarded public pros-
peritS,, or disturbed the public peace—if the country was in a state
of insurrection—if tithe proctors were murdered, when extract.
ing their portion from the peasant's miserable all, his potatoes—if
the police and military scoured the country in hostile array
.if Orange assassins were made the *titre of Popular fry
—why even if they made a case such as that, the Cathodes
would, in deference to a Government which they have no great
reason to respect, admit that there were grounds for some
extraordinary measures, and his Lordship (the Chairman) would
advise the dissolution of an association producing such results;
and no man would have been readier to follow up that advice than
himself ( Mr. O'Connell). The Association would have gladly re.
traced their steps, but at what period do the maniacs come forward
to put the Association down ? They come when the world me-
knowledges the stupendous promer of the British empire, when
England's strength has accumulated from Ireland's resources, and
her peasant's blood !—when England was daily augmenting her
prohts from a closer commercial connexion with this country—
when in Ireland itself life became more secure, and property daily
increasing in value—when by the books of the assistant barristers
it would be seen, that even the number of common assaults was
considerably lent since the formation of the Association—when,
through the interference of the Association there were no repe-
titions of drunken police, indecency, insult, and ferocity—when
the outrageous North is restored to tranquillity, and a cessation of
bloody humility of neighbour against neighbour has Ceased—when
the Catholics celebrated their triumph, which the talents of their ad-
vocate had obtained at Killishandra, by that gentleman's gene-
rously extending to the prostrate foe the boon and pledge of affec-
tion—when the Association were employed eradicating in sectarian
hate! (he heard there were some persons jealous of their success and
exertions.) Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to complain, that after
the Irish Government had re-echoed the plaudits which the people
had awarded to the Association, they did not, through the vener-
able and exalted head of the Irish Catholics (Earl Fingalh, inti-
mate that the proceedings of the Association, were viewed with dis-
approbation. The Association would have received such advice
with the respect it would merit, coming from such a quarter. No
such communication had been made, but a communication of an-
other nature did take place to him (Mr. O'Connell). It was inti-
mated, that if the Association gave over petitioning against church
rates where there were no churches, against tithes and other local
oppressions. they might continue their proceedings; but let
the crime he on his (Mr. O'Connell's) head; he had refused to
compromise the ease of the oppressed, outraged peasant, and he
wanted no favour but what the justice of their cause and the inte-
rest of the empire demanded. Mr. O'Connell concluded by read-
ing several resolutions, essplanstory of the principles and proceed.
ing of the Association, and moved that they be referred to a com-
mittee, for revision and publication in England and this country.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Sit Et t.
Motion passed unanimously.
The following petition was read by Mr. Stmt., and adopted
;ith acclamation. It stated in substance:—

" That the petitioners have reason to apprehend, that it is in
contemplation to introduce some measures into the Legislature,
either for the purpose of entirely suppressing the Association, of
which your petitioners are members, or of coercing them in the
necessary exercise of what they deem a legal and constitutional
Your petitioners are ignorant of the precise nature of those
measum; but the suggestions that have been publicly made re-
s&tcing them have hiled their muds with surprise and alarm.
Conscious that the proceedings of their Association are not, and
have never been, irreconcilable with the spirit of the constitution,
or calculated to excite alarm, or to exasperate animosities, or to en-
danger the peace of society, or to retard the course of national Mi_
provement—but have had the very opposite tendency.
" Your petitioners, in humble vindication of their conduct, sub-
mit to your Honourable House, and are ready by proof to sustain
the same at your bar, that their proceedings are, and have always
been, perfectly reconeileable with the free and genuine spirit of the
British constitution, which aflinds to the aggrieved the right of
complaint, and to the injured an opportunity of submitting their
wrongs to the wisdom and justice of Parliament.
" That no act or declaration of their body, from the day of its
institution to the present hour, has been calculated to excite alarm,
or to exasperate animosities.
" That their proceedings did not, and could not, in anywise en-
dalger the peace of society, or retard the course of national im-
provement.
" That the Catholic Association was formed first and chiefly for
such purpose. It consists of Catholic Prelates, Peers, and Baro-
net' ; of many Protestant., of noble families and great possessions;
of many distinuished members of high and learned professions; of
commercial men of great wealth and character ; of country gentle-
men, farmers, traders, and substantial citizens.
" That the Association meet publicly, in order to prepare and
forward petitions to both litmus of Parliament, tOr the redress of
gri“vances, and to procure for the poor, the ignorant, and the de.
fenceless. redress from the known tribunals of the law, fur outrage►
and injuries, arising from party spirit.
" That your petitioners never presumed or pretended to Tepee.
sent in any way, or for any purpose, any portion of their country-
men.
. _

" That petitioners have never presumed or pretended to levy any
sum of money from any portion of their fellow-subjects ; but they
have received the voluntary subscriptions, which have been given
by Protestants and Catholics towards the erection of a fund, funned
to defray the expenses of forwarding petitions to this Honourable
House ; of obtaining justice for the poor, who are not able to obtain
it for themselves, and for other timessary, just, and lawful purposes.
" Your petitioners, in conclusion, disclaim all views and objects
inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution ; of the peace, Imp-
pinen, and improvement of this country. to which they ate attached
by SJ many ties, and in which they have so great a stake.
" In the coviciousneu of their innocence; they humbly pray this

r- -


Honourable Houma to take into consideration the subject of this
their humble petition, and to adopt no measure against the Catlin.
lie' Association, or against any portion of the Catholic people of
'lreland, without first affording to petitioners a full opportunity of
vindicating their principles and conduct at the liar of your lin-
nountbie house, and to be heard, if necessary, as well by witnesses
as by their Counsel."
Mr. Otorestrt.t then moved, that the petition be transmit-
ted to Lord bonoughmore, for presentation to the House of Lords.
Mr. 811 EI t. said, a sense of public duty compels ate to oppose
Mr. (YeArnnell's motion. I d 9 so with great reluctance ; but I
cannot think it wise, after the letter recently written by his Lord.

jection upon any other occasion than the present—but Lord Do-
rmeghmore has recentff written a letter, which amounts to a com-
plete disquslitiestion 'othere shof:atholie Association is concerned,
(Loudeheers.) His'irordship nes pleased to call us an assem-

matical. ills Lordship intttnates pretty directly his opinion re-
specting one class of our t reupations. . he are we asseibble I

chase itritite. It is an expenslwe article--a sort of lutury, in wilieb
none btu the opulent can indulge. The temple of justice must be
opened with tt golden key. lard Donotighmore doubts whether we
should supply theinjured Peasant with Olt tr ctn. of encountering
the wealthy nosui•trste. How far his i,ordship is right I will not
venture to decide, but this I will say, that the mats who was pivotal
to give us so expressive an intimation of his advice, Is ri it precisely
the person whom we should request to rescue us from imputations
in which he appears coserneue. Lord Oolioughinore had supplied
strong arguments ro his liter against' the Association ; h= would
be bearded with his own letter in the House of Lords—it would be
dashed in his teeth.
here 3lr. O'Connell said, that he must interrupt Mr. S'teil. Ile
was anxious to prevent disunion upon the subject, end shoed
therefore withdraw his rorrion. lie did not like this vto upon
hoed Danoughtnore—he had nx.er supported it.
Mr.:inert last observation Is an unfair artifice, Aldan in.
judicious expedient. (Ghee!!.)
Mr. O'Gria HAN then proposed that the petition should be lins-
mitted to Earl Grey for preiehution ; to which
Mr. Bow moved as an imeodruent, that it should be entrusted
to Lord I)oneughtnore.
This produced considerable discopsion and tnqch warm argument.
when the unanimity that distinguishettbe proceedings of the AM-
elation heretofore had nearly been cleoznyed.
Mr. Sltert proposed to subunit the mattes to the consideration
of the Committee.

Mr. O'Comx Ext. assented. but observed, that if the Committee
decided against giving the petition to Lord Donoughmore, he never
would attend another Catholic Committee. This declaration pro-
duced considerable sensation, and the matter terminated by Mr.
O'Connell giving a regular notice, that he wAuld move on Wednes-
day next, that the petition be entrusted to Lord Donoughmere.
The Meeting adjonmed to this day (Thursday), at .1 o'clock.
