Drnttw. DEC. 1.

Thursday, November 29, the Ciiholic Commit-
tee met at No. 4, Capri-street, pursuant to ad-
journinent-owsit O'Cna non, E4q. in the chair,
Mr. O'Comnsl.t. arldre:L.ed the Chair/m.6r. and re-
ported briefly the pruceeklimrs of the Sub C
ter, iippolistra to prepare the Petition of the Ca-
tholics of IreLtoit.

The Le/trued Gentleman haying read the Peti-
tion--!*hoch sit rearm we do ii t think ourselves
in reporting)—
Mr. NICK. NlAnon rose tend moved the following
Resolution

fnnleed that the Prtitios note read (al the Report of
the Sub Committee, to who•mn it *as centred) U t►e Pe-
titiuu of the Catholics of Ireland."

Mr. Ur en •••" Mr. Chairm on, iii pursuance
ill the notice of the motion I had the honour of
giving at the lad Meeting, the o±ct I have in
view in rising is to solicit • co ,rotation of an
Aggregate Meeeting. whence on!y can emanate
the museum which I wish to set adopted and
if the persons composing that M -eting, when as-
sembled, should think it titling, it is my intention
to propose to them to siihstitute, in the place of ■
Petition, an Address to the Putt .e of Wales, a,
Regent. I feel I labour under great disadvace.
tages in stating my opinion, in o ,no,ition to that
of the last Aggregate Meeting; but the Petition
was there resolved on, in conteni I .lion of measures
very different from those which se inay now Ito rly
anticipate. Vie have every ret•ou tl expect from
the Prince inch favour as will el irely supersede the
necessity of eirtitionisig. EMT circumstance that
aoeld warrant • delay of the i'etinoti, is to be
found in the altered situatici , of the times. I
therefore trust, that trout this c .nsideration, as well
as from motives of dtheaey. Gziitlesiten will think
it prudent to postpone the Petition, until we shall
enjoy the great blessing of •rants; 1 Government
prosperous, because deserving to he sn, as was the
case during the happy mins nistratitio of Earl
Fitz silliam."
Mr. BY RPM then moved the following Resolution :

" Resolved, 'That an Aggregate Meeting be eontolzeit, tti
eonsirltr the proeniety subststuting Addrea gitioshle to
the occasion, io place of the Petition recently reaohrea nn—
in case of the establishment of the Regency of bin Royal

Nothing is co oslnins to the delicacy of this noble
family as rwetinga of the people to petition for •
redre's of grievances ; therefore. on Mr. Byrne's
own ground of delicney, I oppose his motion. But
there is another argument still stronger thus any I

Mr. Finnerty, received my weepiest approbation ;
I joined in the entlititiasm and admiration which
filled the breast of every one who heard the ail.
towable speech of that Gentleman, and any attempt
ni tenure to asperse either the measure or the man,

a per-mist insult offered to tile. as Chairman of

that his Royal Highness has pledged his word.
