TIM IRI3II CkTtIOLICS.

A meeting of. the Roman Catholics of this city
was hold at the Farming. Repository, Stephen's-
green, this day sc'nnigbt, in consequence of a notice
to that died appearing in one of the Morning Pa-
pers, to consider of the propriety of urging their
claims at this period. M-. Val. O'Connor, sen.
was called to the Chair, when a number of Resolu-
tions were presented, some of them implying a se-
vere censure on those who had latterly acted in
the name of the Catholic Body of Ireland. This
brought on a warm debate, in which several Gentle.
men delivered their opinions at considerable length.
On one side it was contended, that the means hi-
therto adopted by those who had undertaken the
management of Catholic affairs, were inadequate to
the end, the aggregate sense not being taken ;
while, on the other hand, it was alleged, that, with
martial law staring them in the face, and the Hotta,
Corpes As' suspended, with a prejudiced magis-
tracy, ready to take advantage of any popular as-
semblage, it was impossible the great body could be
so consulted. It appeared to be the wish of the ma-
jority to preserve unanimity; and a party, manifest-
ing a strong indication of displacing another party,
for the sole purpose of obtaining leadership of a
great body, now rendered highly necessary to the
Minister from the pressure of the public exigencies ;
while the other party, with equal zeal to support the
condu.i hitherto adopted, displayed every possible
exertion. In this posture of affairs, the meeting seem-
ed generally of opinion, that the cause of either party
had nothing to do with the general good of the
whole ; and, after an unavailing discussion, which
lasted two days, a motion of adjournment, for one
month, was put fey the Chair, and unanimously
adopted.

&in:lay. Mr John Bramll was liberated from the
county Waterthrd gaol, by a special order from his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, after having been
confined since the month of August, 1803, ander a
Secretary's warrant.
On Monday last, Mr. John Palmer was brought
up from Kilmainham gaol, by a writ of Habra,
Cirric, to the house of the Lord Chief Justice of
the King's Bench, and discharged by his Lordship,
after a confinement of nearly three years.
Monday evening, arrived in the packet from
England, Mr. liandcock, house steward of his
Excellency, the Duke of Bedford, and some other
persons, in the service of his Grace, who is to leave
London for this country, on Monday next.
Every packet and other vessel at this side, in the
service of Government, capable of accommodating
passengers, were yesterday ordered to sail for the
Head, to assist in bringing Lver the Vice-regal pair,
and their domestics, as it was feared the yacht
would not be able to make that place in time. It is
expected they will arrive in this city on Sunday.
Great preparations are making at the Ca<tie for
their Graces' reception. Many mire bed, fur ser-
vants have been ordered to be gnt ready. There
are to he great changes at that place. Many warn-
ings have been given, down to domestics who have
grown grey in office.
it is said that the Duke of Bedford, our near
Chief Governor, has taken the Duke of Leinstcr's
country residence at Carton, as a sporting lodite ;
and it is also reported that the Ductless of Gordon,
who is to accompany her Grace the Duchess of
Bedford, will reside at Leinster House, as her city
mansion.

A misfortune with two house• in this city, this
week, occasioned some stroag sensations among the
public. It is attributed to a stoppage having been
put to cnntracts, on account of the return of our
army from the Continent, in cotteermence of the
failure of the plans of the confederated Powers.
