RESOLUTIONS OF 1812.
The following is Mr. O'Connell's letter :
" TO THE EDITOR OF THE D. E. POST.
" rast.sa, £VOVI? 10.
Sts—i have just emu your Paper of the 7th 1131114111, sad
bastes to answer the question which you, I care sot ►y what
right, address tome touching the Resolutions of ISIS.
" Yuu ask, with all the emphasis of italics, Will Mfr.
Scully or Mr. O'Connell deny, that they had, proles* to the
pairing of thee Rosnlntions, seve►al confidential common&
cations with a confidential Agent of the Opposition ?'
" Too,. your own words, my reply is ready. Ido delay it;
deny it distinctly sod pointedly. I deny, that either 1, or
Mr. Scully, as I am thoroughly and beyond any doubt con-
vinced,had, w ith reference to the Resolutions of Hilt, any coo-
fidential communication with say confidential or other agent
of the Opposition. ladeed I never knew any person on that,
or on any other occasion, who either exercised or assumed the
fienctioas of Agent to the Opposition.' There sever was
any such personage in communication with the Catholics
since I have taken a pert M Catholic Affairs. lam there-
fore bound solemnly to declare, that the insinuation coo-
'eyed by your question is, in all its parts, unfounded and
untrue.
" I now call on you for your promised reply. In the es-
pectation of receiving that reply—which you say is ready—
I refrain for the present from any handleless of expression or
observation.
" Let there be no equivocation or delay on the subject.
You have not the right to postpone your reply for Mr.Scully's
answer to your question. Ido not know whether he will
emedemead to answer it or not, bat that is imenaterisl.
Your question requires a■ answer from either of us, and,
indeed, is particularly pointed to me, for you have edited—
' This is not a mere random question ; Mr. Scully knows
well, and Mr. O'Cunneltfrels strongly, that it is not.'
" I feel strongly that you are bound to give the name of
your informant, ■nd the particulars of your information.
You are pledged to reply, and I call fur that reply in order
to demonstrate its futility.
" I hare the bouour to be, your obedient Beeriest.
"DANIEL O'CONNELL."

[Here follows the answer of the Editors of The
Dublin Evening Post, in which they reassert their
original statement, adding, they could name their
informant, hut do nut consider it prudent or politic
to do so. and concluding with a wish to drop the
subject.]

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 19.

PRINCE LEOPOLD.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold arrived at
Dunbar House, oss Monday night. On Tuesday
he invited the Bees-rock, and upon Isis retort re-
ceived the Magistrates of Dunbar, along wish a
number of the must respectable inhabitants, when
be was presented with the freedom of the burgh.
which he accepted of in the most condescending and
gracious manner. The freedom was likewise present-
ed to Berms Hardenbrock, Sir Robert Gardiner. and
Dr. Steamer, belonging to the Prince's suite; and
to 'he Marquis of Tweer!dale, Lord John Hay, and
Edward Stanley, Esq. who were on a visit at Dun-
bar-house. After the ceremony, the procession
walked to the New Inn, and drank several loyal
and patriotic toasts, suited to the occasion. he
interview with the Prince 11/0111 most gratifying.
every person appeared to be delighted with Isis opeu
and unrestrained manner. He entered into coolers..
setion with those of the precession who were near
him, and seemed not to undervalue the only token
of attachment which it was in their power to bestow.
After the procession had withdrawn, the Prince ap-
peared at the windows, and frequently bowed to
the 'salutations of the inhabitants, who had been
drawn together by the presence of this illustrious
visitor. He was dressed in black, and wore, be-
aides many other order*, that of the Garter.

Yesterday forenewlstor city was honoured with
the arrival et the London Hotel, St. Andrew's-
street, of ins Royal Highness and suite, in a tra-
velling chariot and bsrnuche, escorted by • party
of the 10th hussars. rim Royal Higlinesa entered
the city by the new road, tiling the Calton Hill, and
we believe his is the brut carnage that ligs imbued
along that road. _

The day bring remarkably fine a great number
of Ladies and Gentlemen were on the Calton Hall
and at the Regent Bridge. and an immense cloud
was assembled in Prince's and S►. Atulrew'►-streets,
who hailed the arrival of the illustrious visitant
with the most enthusiastic cheers. A detachment
from the tub foot, awl a troop of the 10th litiosato.
with the bands of the two regiments. were drawn
up in front of the hotel.
On his Royal Highness alighting from his car-
riage, the Lord Provost received him with the
greatest politeness at the door of the hotel. and•
cooducied him into the home. The Prince pre-'
rented himself several times. end was repeatedly
cheered by the populace, bowing to the multitude
for the respect which they paid. him. Ilio Royal
Highness was dressed in Week. and wore the sash
of the G•trer ; he is WI and handsome. with a
pensive counielino, e, soul looked pale. probably
from the fatigues of his jr.urneye -

mud viewed every thing worthy of inspection. lie
afterwards went to the Parliament-house, and the
College.
In the afternoon Ins Royal Highness entertained
the Lord Provost; the- Commander-iii-Chtel, Sir
Gregory Way, Sir James Douglas; Sir Patrick
Walker, the Gentlemen of In* fruit,, and several
other Gentlemen with en elegant dinner, lit his
lodgings in-the London Hotel.
His Royal Highness sod ratite, accompanied by
the Lord Provost, flowered tint theatre with his
presence in the evening. On his entrance he Wes
cheered with the most enthusiastic applause by a
crowded audietice.
The box in which the Prince sat was very ele-
fitted up. It seas hired with scarlet cloth,
and ornamented with graceful draperies of the
sauna cloth, with rich silk, and gold fringes. - The
effect from every part of the house was indeed most
complete.
This day his Royal Highness and suite, accom-
panied by the Lord Provost, proceeded to visit
St. George's Church-, St. John's Chapel. and seve-
ral other public places ; and we understand he is to
dine in the afterneou with the Right Hon. the
Lord Provost. at his house in Gay fie Id-square.
