[wave with Russia and Denmark was the real oi.jtct
of the late vielent change in the Swedish Covent-.
mein, the unfortunate Gusesfus ADOLPUUS has
been deposed iu vain, and his successor is inure
likely to facilitate its accomplishment, by reatorie,y,
the former order of things, than by attempting to
usurp the throne of his nephew.—Ainotig our
extracts from the Swedish papers, are some of-
fictal letters, from winch it appears, that the
Emperor of RUSSIA will be satisfied with the
retention of the parts of the Swedish to ritorirs
which he has occupied by his arms ; Lut that he
perseveres in detT • g sill negotiation, until the
legitimate Government is restored. The new KING,

audacious invocations of die Divinity, to attest and
to sanction the flagitious enterprises of a ruffian,
who has systematicnily converted Europe into a
vast cemetery, in order that he and his brothers
or his Generals may reign over it. We allude to
the letters of•Seassoisxt, addressed to the Spa-
nish Mitaisters or Commanders. Every turpi-
tude which can &hese or degrode a mind of rec-
titude.. is there proposed rod recommended by

While he attempts to delude the understaiiding Ly

to corrupt and deprave the heurt by insidtous offers.
" You, generous but misguided Sraniards," says
SEUASTIANI." are figlitipg for the

England. Look to•the just, loyal, and beneficent

Whatever iudignation such sentiments or ex-
pressions may excite, is however corrected and

were addroacil. T'aere is nothing more devoted,
or ',sort touching, in A theeian or iu Roman annals,
thaii &h_ 11.141lerr given to these insulting proposi-
tion:. Pituetots, or FAHltlelliti, or the elder

primed themselves with inure simplicity and dig-
nity, then JovebLatros, and SUINEDItfrt, and Vs-
NEGAII!*-" We do not contend, (say they.) for
tile imittisitine, or for absurd prejudices, or for the
interests of the Grandees of Spain, or for England;
we are 6 ;kiting fur the precious rights of our Kiog,
our Religion, our Constitution, and our independ-
ence. We can correct the abuses of our former
Government, without King Joss:Nis assistance ;
carry his virtues and N•eursox's arms elsewhere.
%V shad not sully ovir grey heirs by listening to
your base proposals. The enthusiastic opposition
to the change of Dv misty is not peculiar to Aida-
lowa. it pervades every Spanish bosom, as you will
find ere long ; finally, we neither believe iu the tri-
umphs of your emirs, nor in thenmni potence of your
Emperor, as a pledge of (stare victories ; nor, least
of all, in your isiipioua assurances of the favour and
protection of the Divinity, extended to the most un-
just, against the " most holy and the must sacred
of climes." A nation, Meister+, and Generals,
capable of acting asp to these professions, can only
he subdued by tut irresistible military force. How.
ever gloomy may have been, and still are. the af-
fairs Of Spoilt, we e t consider them as despe-
rate, while such men survive at the head of tin in

then, for the first time, she learned her real Finns-

country. Upon her arrival at Prince F.iliverd's
Island, she told tier melancholy story. All pitied
her, hut none helped her to riiiress. With tears
she supplicated her mistress to permit her to
return to F.aglatitl with Captain Sanoter, iu
whose vessel they had come to Prince Ed ward's island,

was not an. eye in Court that was not suffused
with tears ; and her sentence of liberation wits
heard with a tumult of joy. The celebrated Mrs.

what have we not lost. by:, this cold and dignified
silence? If I establish time we suumerleil by

subject. Mr. Pin felt it, and, m lent, that Minis-
ter resigned the helm of the State, upon the prin.

I conceive it sn such a light, as that it is the one

Mr. BAGOOT ;17,11 addressed the assembly, say-
ing, that, upon the subject of grievances, there
eaoW be no difference of opinion ; they were se-
vere, they were oppressive, and sufficient, if say
thing could do it, to vender the Catholics of Ire-
land nalitterent to the issue of the ardnnus contest
la which the empire was emtaged. He therefore
WAS a friend to petition ; but he wished that the
lien* of the whole is vole should lie taken upon it.

every town should he held for that purpose, and
thvi the voice of His Majesty's subjects woad
ranch the foot of the Throne with effect. Of

env this country can boast of, of the souse kind. for
t:ie support of distressed Irish Cutholics, joatrunizeil
by the chief nobility of the realm, and by an the
members of the Royal Fimily. Ile reminded the
meetiag, that it was at the recommendation of the.
Xing himself, that every comet ssion to the Catholi,
of Ireland. had been made, and that electire
franchise was the consequence of Royal liberality.
Ile insisted particularly 'Lion the condescending.
mild, and coneili.aory manlier. jn which the Ca-
tholic Delegates had been received at SL James's,
and which had made a profound, a lasting. an in-
delible impression of gratitude upon his Mind.
From all these circuinstaiices, Mr. Bagiait enforced
the certainty of success to a petition brought for-

*ion, %hien our reception at Court, espei tally the
last of the three times 1 had the honour of visiting
it. has left upon my mind. ie, idalinall profoatiel,
and perhaps Ili& able,et of a very alifferdit nidowe
from that experienced by the Gemleinan who
spoke last, who was not there, mad who certainly
was not instrurneatitl in sending forward that dele-
gation. But he has told you, and I perfectly con-
cur with liim.in sentiment, that, upon the subject
of cur grievances, there can tw no difference of
opinion. Certainly sot ;we all. in our several de-
pertinent* of life, feel the galling chain that em-
bitters it; and, lauwever see may vary as to the mode,
we are inianiinons as to the necestioty of getting
rid of our shackles. All trio:illy anxious for the
common cause, we are soot divided into parties--
and united by a communion of interests, and a
sympathy in suffering, faction and factions motives
are unknown amongst us. Attached, as 1 inav
be supposed to be, (and Coil kuows lam !) to
the resolutions, which I bold in my band, and
mean to propose to this ineetni4. I will with this
hand burn them before you, if .any individual
ic this assembly eau produce what, in my appre-
hension, is latter calculated to forward our object.
—But the Gentleman who last addressed your
Lordship, recommended particular meetings for
emelt town and comity, fe.-eye purpose of collect-
ing the general sense of the people. I make en
doubt of the sim erity of his intentions, nor of the
purity of the motives by which he is actuated ; but.
after this, I 'fogy he permitted to doubt, whether
Dr. Dingman himself, or Sir Richard Musgrove,
could have given any advice more decidedly hos-
tile to our views. We all know what effect such a
mode of collecting the stow of the people would

Suppose the pris.,Mility of invasion in this country,
and it requires no enormous stretch of imagtuation
to suppose it ; su pp:ups:that ortfql politiciati, as well
ss conattinmate Gerteral, Hotirporte, to say to the
people of Ireland, " %thee ere alodistied—Religi-
ous distinctions are alsolisheii--..The Union is abo-
lished !"—And suppose, what, L trust, will never
happen, that the Irish people were weak enough to
be seduced by his specious promises; what topics
of encouragement would the English Government
resort to to counteract that seduction, and to reseal
their once-loyal aulijects to the du t i et, of allegiance?
Would they hay, " Come, gialkuut Irishmen, take
up arms agaibst the invaders of year property, and
the tithes shall be restored to you;, vindicate your
oppressed religion, and the !woad* laws shall he re-
enacted; rise ugaitist the destroyers of your na-
tional independence, that you may recover the
blessings of the Union !!" These would be dais.
geroua topics to he insisted upon iu such r case;.
and to anticipate the designs of an insidious enemy,
to turn them against himself, to convert the very
abuses of our own Goserinnent, by redressing
them, into our arms for its defence, would be
the work of real patriotism, of genuine loyalty ;
but is work which, I much fear, the present Mi-
nistry of England will uever perform or undertake.
And yet it is to this very Ministry that our peti-
tion is to be presented--the only effect of which
will be to turn the observation of the English pub-
be front themselves to us. end merge their wishes
for Keforin in the terrors of " No Popery." No.
thing that they have not already beard can be now
urged in their favour. A rgtitnent has been exhaust-
ed, eloquence strained to its utmost pitch, and
conviction enforced upon the dullest minds—but is
vain,—to what new topics, then, must our peti-
tioners resort. in order to obtain what ought loug
since to have beau granted, if eloquence, and rea-
son, and coavietion, hail their due weight ?
llau-
ger itself has lost its powers of persuasion—the de-
,stroyer has knocked at our gates, and yet we do
not take the alarm. More anxious to procure con-
verts than 'soldiers, our Euglish Saints attempt to
raise reeruits•for their spiritual kingdom, by send-
ing over to the poor Irish, cheap prayer-books and
Irish Bibles; which they require them to read and
understmed,-although scarcarly aoy two of them-
selves are agreed asiosit their meaning. Alas ! this
is not the way to check the strides of Bonaparte.—
lie is no rests cater of religious, any inure tlitiii of
persons. " The Catholic," be says, ss is welcome
to me—the Prat. taut is welcome to me—the Pre.-
bit woo is tv, !rn.ne to we—nay, the man of lib*.
rality, of no r.llgtoe at all.ds right welcome to me.
Avactied to no particular form of faith, but an be-
'tionsry member of alhasehatission so my power is the
only article in any man's erred that I insist upon.
owl that I shall take mire to-enforce." Such, in
reatify, is the roan we have to encounter, mill by
sac" cohtluet, and by such principles, has ha sub.
jil4.iteil the Contimuit of Europe. It should be
our Lit,iuests, that is, the busitteas of the Govern-
ment. to use every means to stout falling into the
same gulp:i that has swallowed up state after state.
kingdom after kingdom, :tint empire after empire.
This can be done oaly by calling into 'tenon the
whole euer;v of the people of Ireland, which cap
be edlicte, I ncly by the .ingiutlitied emancipation
of the Catholics, that is, by raising them to the
rank of *objects. While I Moist that petition to
the presort Nlinisters is not calculated to procure
that emancipation, let no man say that I wish to
relinquish our clinins. This may be the last time
I shall address you. With my ilyite; breath. and
with my last wools, as a testamentary bequest to my
beloved countrymen, I recousuiend to them never
to relinquish, hewer root to relax in the pursuit of
their ultiloohted, and indubitable rights. Stand-
ing no the verge of life, I shoal(' wish to shake off
my trammels, before I ,die--I should not wish to
carry my chilies into the grave. . But still I insist
that this is not a time fospetitioning for their re-
. inovel, um', under thisJiiipression, I move, that,
after the word REs o4vL n. the following be in-
serted :
4 We, the Catholics of Ireland, have made repeated
}petitions fur the ',lief of our grievances. The great.

Tula motion was seeou dud by Sir Tnomas Ea.
mo s Du, Bart.

Mr. 0 commenced his speech by la-
menting the estianeous topics which had been in-
troduced, rei lie conceived, most injudiciously end
improperly, by some tient emen who had preced-
ed him iu the debate. HP deprecated altogether
that feelin4 which led to the introdurtion of matter
irrelevant to the grand object in view—that of ob-
taining complete and sp:.eily emancipat fur the
Catholics of Ireland. No petty loin.tility, no menu
gratification of _pi rowel prejudice, no individual
ambition, *book' interfere to the preclic.iim of that
wise, energetic. and collective effort, which, and
which alonl, eoul4 crown their cause with final
tie a4mitteil. that to he leader of the Catho-
lics wase proud and ennoWing distinction ; but he
coalil not slifseicmly reprobate the idea of raising
up separate interests among the Catholic Gish—of
pahoying the main priuciple of union, and frittering
down the iflemepts of action, by paltry plans and pro-
ject... For his purt,lie should not have obtruded him-
self on the mecum:, but from the auzious wish and
Fond lioj.e he entertained, of being able to produce
imaniusity. That might easily be attained by

which Mr. O'dorttaa had aeredeti to the sign
ments of the Hon. Baronet, had evinced that lie was
actuated unt by any spirit of party. hut by a pure
and patriotic zeal for the Catholic Cause. it was an
example highly deserving of imitation, and .if the
meeting would profit by it, their combined rcer-
tion could neither be vain or useless. Ile would,
therefore, call upou'every itehveln it of that meet-
ing, even upon those who nught differ in °mimes—
to concede to hie friend Dlr. Keogl.) the AliOth
tion of the resolution he had proposed. For his
part. he could not say that he approved of the exact
phraseeloo, or the precise style of sentiment which
that resolution contaiseil—but there war so much
of rnanlinese and of truth in it, as to supersede even
the right to examine it with too critical or captious
an iiivestigution. There was an obvious distiectiou
between a petition and a resolution. la the for-
mer you apply for a right, even as if it were a favour.
But in the latter it was becoming the Catholics,
who were in reality the people of Ireland. to express,
their sense of their wroags and sufferings, with
strength, dignity, and energy. It was, therefore,
obvious that a resolution, the same at least in spirit
with that of Mr. Keogh, ought to be uilopiell—
and aasuredly it was no small recommend:owe to
the present, that it came from hint, who, for near
30 years, had been the most active and useful advo-
cate of the Catholics; and who, even upon the
verge of the grave, was animated with the vigour
of youth, by that zeal which ii,ad deservedly ob-
tained Per him the appellation of Father of the Ca-
the/it- Cause. From these considerations he trueteil
that the proposed tesolution would be suffered to
pass without ally opposition. It would then lie
quite competent to appoint a Committee. and
make the necessary preparation for having a peti-
tion pieseuted in the earliest stage of the text
Sessiou of Parliament. Ile avowed that lie was
one of those who thought the Cathnlica should
petition, Session after Session, until, justice was
done. But to petition now would he le fact to do
it after the Session was over. It W;IM like privet-
. teeriug after the war, and the Catholic Body
disliked privateering of every descriptien.—What!
was it to be supposed that their advocates
in Parliament should address the thunders of
their eloquence to deserted walls and untenanted
benches? Was it to he supposed that the cause of
the Catholics of Ireland was to be pleaded before
the remnant of the Treit-ury Bench. mud the levied
phalanx of the 4. No Pooery" factinu ? the in-
terval between this amid tue ensuing sessions, every
arrangement could be made to bring forward the
Petition with the strongest expectation of success.
To the signatures of the Catholics of Ireland. the
tunnel of thousand* and tens of thousands of their
Irish Protestant brethren would be added, and ally
seeming inconsistency between the Resolution of
Mr. Keogh, awl the immediate preparinsig of a
Petition, would be reconciled, by recollecting, that
tire Petition was not to 't.t actually prrsrutcd until
the next 'cessions of Parliameat, and that the ob-
jertions to Petition were bunted, by the very words
of 3,1 r. Keogh's Resolution, to the preseut period.
Before the next session could arrive, there was
every reason to hope, that the prospects of the Ca-
tholics might be much altered. 'fliey were certain
of the parietal uffection of their beloved Sovereign.
Every entices. tleut has beet) hitherto made to
themliti I the relief that they had hitherto obtained,
were produced by the pen:anal iiiterferenee of Ills
Majesty. It had been suggested elsewhere., that
an objection existed in his I to their complete
emancipation; but that was a false and foul calum-
et, contradicted by every act of his life. and de-
moustrated to be false, by the were coinparisen of
the present state of the Catholics of Ireland with
%slim it was at the commencement of his reign.
Theriews and the wishes of Ministers--and Nlinis-
ters themselves might change—but the liberality of
Ilia Majesty was unvaricel ; his parental benevo.
hence had never ceased ; and the chess of his sub-
jects who ought to be. and weir., foreinnet, in grati-
tude and loyalty, were the Catholics of Ireland.—
The state oh parties iii England afforded another
ground for hope. It true. that the successors of
the ancient fanatics were still alive—of those fens-
tics who were always atrocious and unjust, to the
extent of their power, and whore natural pregiensity
to what was absurd and riilieulone was never JUJU-
nislwd. In a foriner century, when those fanatics
had arms in their hands, they plunged the nation
into a civil war, they sprinkled the senffold with
their Sovereign's blood, and they endcil in that colt-
suininat ion of all evils—a militnry de,intism. For
the prewar, being unarmed and "teak. they con-
treed themselves with the simple injustice of et-
eluding their Catholic fellow-subjects (ruin the be-
nefits of the Constitution. In the former century,
their absurdity was free eml unshackled. One of
their Parliumeists took its name from an individual
who styled himself 4. Praise God liarebeitirs;" and
another Legislator, feeling the word Nlesopotamia
in the Bible, and not knowing it was the name of
a cosintry. wade himself geographically Evan-
gelieel, by resuming the appellation. The fanatics
of the present day were somewhat more reserved ;
but it would he easy to tied amongst them ur teen
colleagues apt substitutes for the ludicrous beings
ohm former period. We might now have our Praise
God Perceral, our &reboots Castlereagh, and our
lliesopnta:nia Wit& rfarce.—( Great applausei)—
Notalthittuttling the folly and the wickedness of
fanaticism, there was ill it a zeal and a cunning
that made it formidable. The ancient saints took
up as their watch-word the sacred mime of liberty,
whilst wit modern saints here considerably advanced
their interests by asenraing the stolen garments of
humanity and benevolence. Whilst every man in
England who loved justice or who hated murder
was alive to the necessity of abolishing the Slate
Trade, our fanatics placed themselves at the head
or the abolitiouiste--they moistened with their team
the chains of the savages of Africa—they poured
out a deluge of sensibility in conjuring the Levo-.
lature of Britain to blot nit from the catalogue of
enormities the national crime of continuing the
Slave Trade. But it was a cheating huniimity—
a swindling benevolence. It was the mere stage-
trick of party ; for when the petition atilt. Clotho-
lies of Ireland--of their fellow-subjects end fellow-
chrutiaus, came to be considered—their humaility
disappeared. and their benevolence tress flung
away, and they doomed us to perpetual slavery,
merely because we prams not the. unintelligible
superstition of the hideous Negro, but that true
piety which makes the " fair-bosomed dauihters of

grin" the Most tender of wives and be st o f nuithers.'.
Mr.o'Cenuell then coneluded &smog animated and
ebefieur speech, by again entreating the Meeting
to mead themeelves of all penitent' animosities ur
jeurt feelings—but to gully round the real spirit
of the Ca:holic Cause, with undivided energy and
onnhilied effort. Ile pronounced a most chaste
cud i•leginet panegyric upon Counsellor O'Vorman,
who h.al, he Paid, evlneed himself an illustrious
mistletoe used expounder of their rights, and de-
serving the highest confidence which could be
placed hi any O'Connell theu
sat doe u, untwist the universal and lone-e outinuert
plaudit& of the whole assembly. We never wit-
nessed such a general burst at approbation.
Mr. Renee, of Ulinck, said--" My Lord, I have
little to add to wait iny Honourable Fnend, (bir
Francis Goold.) hits said. lbeg leave to support hi:
iiiii endment in the etrinniett manlier. 1 look on

conquers almost the rest of Europe.—Aud I move,
my Lord, that w sunscription he Moils ith entered
into, in order to defray the expenses niending
our patriotic undertaking." (Which was according-
ly done to u huge Neuman.)
Mr. Ktu.o spoke to. the.ll4lme purpose.
Dr. Uaeucool.x rose, amidst a cry of " Qtrs.
lion ! Question." He scid, that he was not un-
posed at the iiriparience of the Meeting ; the hour
was late—they mast be fatigued ; that for his pert
he felt himself almost exhausted ; that he rout, not
to Lengthen the &bate, but, by roposlug what he
ciiiireived would meet the kentral Sense, to bring it
to a' tpreily termination. Out part of the Meeting
eeemed determined to have Itesolutioliv, expressive
of their fee:ings, mid of the situation of the Catho-
lic Italy, but no one seemed averse to petition.— '
Mr. Keogh's Resultitioils were hostile to petition ;
on this score, lie, for one. objected to them.-.--
He objected to them, also, because they note feted
with English politics. When Cathulies speak, they
ought to speak noon that subject which to more at
home, and more connected with their feeliags--
their own oppresved and degraded situatiou--this
should engross them too much, to allow them lei-
sure to uttelid to any thing of leas interest. The
Resolutions which he held in his haud, mad
which he meant to propose, seemed to enibrare
the objects of both parties. They went for pets.
Lam, mid avoided those topics, which, in J.is
Mind, were objectionable in the Resolutions
which they had heard read. As far as he attended
to the debate, they seemed calculated to meet the
-eller el sense. Although he had much to say, be
should not detail) them longer, but submit dein
withuut fattber preface to the consideration of the
meeting. He then moved a string of resolutions,
which -having been seconded and put from the
chew, it warm debate ensued ; when at length the
question being put upon them, they were negatived
without a dieision, which renders their insertion
here the less necessary.
A division was then loudly called fore when the
