GREAT PROTEST/NT MEETING

AT TILE ROTUNDA.

PF.RRIJART, 13.
TRIUMPH OF LIBERALITY, JUSTICE, AND
LIBERTY.
(Continued Pow our Paper of ref.relay.)

Mr. LA*Lne inimetlistelv rose, soil bowing to the lord
Mayor, ohisicsed, that lie would not only comply with the
wishes of the Lord Maroc, but he would entreat every Ca-
tholic 111 the Assembly to Militate his example, sod that
slant leave the room..—tTlictie were the words which Mr.
Lawless repeated loud cries from tills *Oka of the
room. He, sod the few Catholics who were proimit, iinme-
distely retired
When these Gentlemen had departed.
The Lunn MAYOR +trails pot the question ob the reso-
lution proposed by bls Grace ..f Leiustrr.
Lewd FILIIIIIVORt proposed an

That the

Protestants of Dublin, being unwilling in disturb the peace
of the City, and confiding in the wisdom of Parliament, de-
cline giving an opinion on the subject, and that the Meet-
ing do now adjourn."
Mr. ELLIS seconded Lord Frankfort's Amendment. How
far the Lord Mayor, who had been intrusted to preside over
the peace of the city ■oil nut to advocate the Catholic
Claims, was justified in calling this Meeting, Ict the present
clamour answer. The casual hisses of a few individual•, or
of a number of individuals, Milani,' never deter him (Mr.
Ellis) from proclaiming his opinions. Hr hail stepped for-
ward. when others high in office stood back. When this
quest' came to he properly discussed, lie woul•I give his
opinion iipms it—at present lie would rather decline it. He
thought the Meetin: was stuadviseyUy called. A person iu

Here Mr. M.:NALLY (Barrister) roes to speak 111 Order.
He was a little person, but be hail as g I a right In he
beard there as the big Gentleman near . The Gentle_
man was out of order, for the question was not the pro-
pri ay of calling the Nleeting. but the policy of Petitinning
Parliament for a Instal if those Penal Lass, against their
Catholic Countiym►n. The Learned Genii mass had not
treated the Father of the City with petiteness in animate' t-
ing sits his Lordship's conduct. The Learned Gentleman
bad said, that the Lord Mayor was the gnat diais of the peace
of the City—lint he legged to remount him, that his Lord-
ship was aloe the CHOU& Norum of the City, and the Learn.
ed Gentleman sl 1.1 not lose yield of good manners when
addressing so high, so respectable, sn rrrrr tol a character—
r would his Lordship be intimidated by any person's
expr.sYing Ins opinions in the way the Learned Gentleman
bail duise.

order ; bolt whether lie wee or was mg, he tint not want In

thanked the Learned Gentleman fur his lesson, but when
he wanted to hair either his murals or 11i5 manners mended,
he should apply to an oh!' r inst. actor. When hr had been
interrupted in speaking, he was endeavouring to she's that

were the last person. whose Ita tel.-okm his
Lordship ►lhould have atteni!ed to. They were Gentlemen,
doubtless, Ingli iu lank amid in character, but Ibty were nut
the smiling hotly of the City. They were worthy Noblemen,
onal Mentlyis of Parliament, who sought to have a Petition
presented to themselves, to grant all extension of pi ivi-
If (Cf: to the Roman Cotholies. He knew the menus which
had been practiced to o'oeure signotnies to that Requisi-

Lord CIIARLFMONT said, his Noble Young Friend (the
Duke of Leinster), whir opened the Stetting, had prupthad
a Resolution, soil lie begged the Meeting to and hear
quietly, the arguments on bulb sides. This was a cause

My Lord Mayor (said Mr. 11'adulcuis„ 11 &u puu I call upon
those 31azistiates to be tiotict. Mr 11'auldeti concluded by
saying, that lie yielded to no man its love fur his venerated

Sir NEAL O'Dtiv vi. said, that this gnrsltuu haul been so

•
frreparotly agitated, mill was so beckon ',AI, that hr did nut
thiuk it necessary to oiler one wo,d upon its !whey ton the
present occasion. He liked the Human Catholics, but m
candour he cuidel not yield up the rights of his suns and
grandsons; he would therefore give it Ina negative. Four
days av he was called ispein to put his signature to • Ite-
111111/illllO, which was to eomaile hot tat Ise 111,1111r1.. If any
thiog could have induced huu to comply, it would have been
from seeing the nature of I.e Mater, Doweishire, Charlmam,
and Meath, affixed to it ; but he meld nut think of doing so,
as the resilient hail not hero previously pent to him to read,
slid it was out lore but iu Mayo it should have been pre-
sented to him to sign. The day before yesterday it pamph-
let fell tutu lane lauds, written stool Catholic affairs; at
was only by occasional &star like these that peewees living
in that distant part of the world called bleep), can form an
opinion Url/U the slate of the question. Hr was sorry to
perceive that the name of that good Minister, Mr. Peel, bad
been sullied by the antonymous writer of tie. pamphlet.—
flere Sir Neal wits inter-spied by a
which he übse reed. with great vti;*.ele, that he was
under ma comptuueot to Mr. Peel. Doi mg the Admini-
stration of the (hike of Portland, the Irish Gentian had
pledged himself not to agitate the present queolinu. His
after conduct was * non plower of the veracity of his
assertion of 17941. The discussion of the question at pre-
sent would be cox et preferra Whit, nod the opinion
which had been formed on the subject, would modest • kind
of wavering that would betray a doubt.—(Load laughter.)
Mr. CoLg (Police Magistrate), supported the adjourn-
ment, and conceived that the Lord Mayor ought to have
consulted the Magistracy of the City previous to his calling
the Meeting.
Air b FAL O'lloNEL moved his Lordship that there be
Tellers appiiiiited.
'Ube I.OIIU MAYOR thought the shew of hands would be
the bitter say.
The Earl of COARI.FRONT moved, that those who were fur
the adjoin litmus should go oilt.—(Load and continued op-
plan ie.)
