Inserted the li•so!ntioos of the Roman Catholics
of the county of Tipperary. They evince si'spirit
of ion, under existing circumstances, which
r, &cis the highest credit upon that numerous por-
tion of 111. Majesty's Irish Catholic subjects.,
We understand that the Catholic, of the county
of Tipperary, originated the measure of petitioning
in Ireland, and have always meted for themselves,
and upon their own judgment, on this important
rptestion. And that, as they led the way iii the
petitions oow before Parliament, they have felt it
peculiarly incumbent upon them to go terry prac-
ticable length towards meeting and surmounting
the (faculties which have unexpectedly snivels,
The Revolutions in question sipperr fully to em-
brace that desirable object ; and w- are happy in
6-arising, that they have le•en highly approved as
such. by their Protestant fellow-countrymen.

Tne couoty of Tipperary is computed to contain

tipwards 0150,000 inhabitants; of whom nineteen-
twentieths are Reines Catholics; and it numbers
full 13,000 registered Cstholic Freeholders, quali-
fied to vote at the comity elections.
We shsll take this opportunity of expressing
how much we rejoice to dud, that the liherfl and
conciliatory tx imple given by the English Ca-
tholics, at th..ir meeting of the Ist of February
last, has at length been property understood and
appreciated by their brethren in Ireland.
The veto, es a specific measure, seems now to be
universally acknowledged as incomplihle with the
general feelings end wishes of the Catholics
throughout the three Kingdoms, but we have the
first authority in swing, that this circumstance only
tends to excite in their injects, a greater anxiety to
acquiesce in any other surangeinent, consistent with
a strict adherence to their faith and diseipfine, that
may, be deemed necessary, for affording that com-
plete security to the existing civil and religious
establishments of the Empire, winch the country
at larAe has so much right to expect from them ;

pledges, in the Sth Resolution of tie English

the Resolliti;nis of the Catholics of the county of
Tipperary, this day presoored to the public.

The public will learn, ads the ureafeat astonish-
ment and itithgu.atiotu, that Lord CHATHAM still
continues to hold the office of Master-general•of
the Ordnance. It will be recollected, that, within
a few days alter the Rouse of ethillUOllS had come
to a vote censuring the unconstitutional conduct of
Lord CHA rusts, Mr. WHITBRIAD asked Mr.
• PEW:F.IAL whether it was trite, as was then report-
ed, that Lord CHATH AM had resigned ? Mr. Pelt-
CETAI. answered, that Lord CHATHAM had, Oa thin
day, tendered his resignation, at the 1. Tee, to the
Kum, and that it had been graciously received.;
and Mr. %Vim-seems then remarked, that he ass
content, as the dignity of the House was satisfied.
After the interval of a mouth, M r.W H mean again
applied to Mr.PetteEVAl., to know whether is sue-
visor to Lord CHATHAM had been appointed ? To
which he answered its the negative, and led' the
House to Wham that the office was 'then netunlly
vacant. Now, it Mr. Poems', hard 'net, when
first applied to by Mr. WHITt:IITAO, stated
dis-
tiuctly that Lord CHATMAlititad resigned, it would
hate been roLiosed to fellow up the vote of the
House by moving an address to the Kim°, to re-
move Lord CHATHAM from his presence and coun-
cils for ever. It now appears that Lord CHATHAM
does net attend Cabinet Councils or Levees, he-
m= obese ■re public acts, which could not be
concealed ; but he performs' the duties of the
office, and receives the salary. This is a surf of
_quibbling, of which w•e thought Mr. PEP.CETAL in-
capable; it is impossible any longer to trust a Mi-
nister, who has adopted so mean and disgraceful a
subterfuge, for the purpose of avoiding the jnst re-
sentment of Parliament. We are no defenders of
the equiviseating answer given by Sir F. Ilce-
DeTT to Mr. COLEMAN, and for which he has Leen
so justly censured ; but his co:Watt •is innocent,
compared with that of Mr. PetteaVA 1., who lists sup-
preseed that which it was eloeutial for Path:unlit to
have known, sod whirl. has at last been reluctantly
wrung frotn him. All these acts are adopted to
protect a secret adviser, who was also the COM'
mender, and one of the authors, of the Expedition
to Waicherra; who is the fecal end patron of the
defaulter IIuNT ; soul who is the President of •
Board, by whose argil /race, in not taking seenrity
from Mr. Hear, a cort.i.irrable loss has been sos-
tinned by the public. —We trust the matter will
not be allowed to sleep, hot that some steps will 1w
taken to vindicate Parliament from the insult *Mat
has been offered to its dignity.
