And a great number of smaller vessels, consistioi

brigs, cutters, and sloops.
The Extraordinary Squadron were drawn up
in nearly the same order as stated yesterday,

in Number 11. to windwArd, while the British Bret

were upon a Ice, or, as landsmen would 14y, the
Oppo.ition shore, with a stiff gale blowing in
their teeth from off the Canaille a-.d Hob-
goblin islands. Notwithstanding this disadv.tro

tag; the fleet formed in excAlent order, and sh3nly

after six o'clock, the action commenced with a smart
cannonading between the light vessels of the se.
spalive squadrons. About twelve o'..lock, ear aftlort
became warm and general aiong the whole line.

I. he manoeuvre of breakinz the enemy's line, first
praCised by Admiral RODS ce, af:erwards, on the
tit of June, by Lord Flaws, and since, with such.
glorious success, by the immortal Nstsoer, could
not be unknown to the experimeed Commanders in
this great aStim. The !Jailor Di.;.,con, a 64, re-
cently arrived from oW the Irish station, had j'Aned
the squadron on the night before, and happened to
be oppoeed in the Ike to the Grattan. The Cap-
tain had pvlbibiy heard of this famaus ma-
newer:, lld nrsolveil to put it ia ptaal‘ve ; but
from a sort of blanarring prorieasity, the Das!or

Divan h: Al own lin: inAcad of the enemy's.
'lbis nforrt.r.ate mistske gave an opportunity to
the Hew( k, the Sierry, the G- 'mar, and several
other leading ships, to single her out.—Her fire
was soon slenced, and in a few minutes after sire
sink to rise no more. Notwithstanding every e•.-
ertion of humanity, it is thought that not a soul
on board her was or could, by any possibility,
be saved: Shortly after, the datigatican, Captain
Canstrro, which had been warmly engaged with
the Hoso:ct., c:tught fire, and blew up with a terrible
explosion, threatening universal dzisolution. The
cannonade now began to cease along the whole
line ; and both sides, as it were, by mutual consent,
put an end to the engagement. The fleets were
occupied the streceed.ng days in repairing their da-
mages ; and nothing particulat happened until the
evening of Monday, the I.sdt, when a severe aCion
was fought between the van divisions of the two
Beets, neither of which had been in the aCion of the
9th. The StAff,ird, the Lord Grenville, the Lander- '
dale, the liotoiesburii, and the Les(ine, bore the t
brunt of this day. The SiJinoutle was also warmly
engaged, but unfortunately took such a poeition
that it is supposed her companions suffered as mach
from her fire as the enemy. &very necessary pre-
paraticas being made, another general a4ioo took
place on Wednesday. the 15th, close under St.
Stephen's, the scene of the first engagem 'tit. It com-
menced with a lively cannonade from the Lyttletea,
the fire of which, though only a frigate, annoyed the
enemy very much. Sli irily after, the Leitrim, Capt.
Gore, an armed sloop, it s z.l as a troop-ship, stationed
in the rear, wsc seen to pan under the bow of the
Newport, the bowsprit of which she grazed in her
flight to the enemy, with a shot from her stern
chaser. The Nitsp,,rt immediately luffed up, and
poured an entire broadside into the Leitrim, which
raked her front stern to stern; but the Extraordinary
Squadron opened to receive her as she was just on
the point of going to the bottom, and thus enabled
her to eff..in her flight in safety. It was soon after
perceived, that in this as well as in the anion of
the 9'h, a great many vessels had deserted to the
enemy. They consisted Chiefly of hired era%

PRIVATE CORRESPJNDENCE.

DURLIW, 5 O'CLOCK, APRIL IC

This day a General Meeting of the Catholics
took place, at the Exhibition House, in William-
street. About two o'clock, the great room being
crowded nearly to suffocation, the Earl of Fingal
was unanimously called to the Chair. His Lordship
having briefly stated the purpose for which the
Meeting was convened. it was moved and carried.
that two Letters, recently received from an Wes-
t, ions Character, touching their Petition to Portia-
meta, should be read. The first Letter, signed
He:ley Grattan. was an expression of his thanks
for the honor done him by the Catholic Body. tin
'drifting him to present their Petition, and a
strong recommendation to them for the pre-
sent to forego their intended application. Mr.
Grattan stated it to he his own individual opinion,
that the time was highly onfavouroble to their views,
when a great change was about to take place in His
Majesty's Councils ; but, he added, that he. would
call a meeting of their friends, and communicate to
them their united opinion on the subjett. The
second letter conveyed to them the result of that
meeting, which concurred entirely with his own
opinion.
Mr. Kaooit then rose, and commenced a very
Icing and aroumeotative speech, by observing, that
the measure brought forward for the relief of dis-
senters, did not originate with the Catholic body of
Ireland; it removed no disability—it conveyed no
advantage to them—it grew our of the disturbances
which occurred last autumn in the county of Mayo.
It was merely an attempt, as Ministers expressed it,
to convert the weakness of the country into strength,
and to afford a drain for a too abundant population.
As to the Catholics, it did nothing (bore than to ena-
ble His Majesty, if a Nelson, a Moira, or a Hut.
chinson, should rise up amongst them, to confer
upon him the reward of his valour, or of his abili-
ties, if it did not interfere with his Royal Conscience;
yet. even this small boon had been the cause that a
pledge had been unconstitutionally demanded from
Ministers, and, upon their refusal to give that
pledge. of their dismissal from office. "The ques-
tion,' said Mr. Keogh. "now is, what is the course
Ors Catholics of Ireland should pursue? Shall they
tell four million of people, that their tante is des.
potato, and that the time can never arrive, when
they may hope to be admitted within the Con.
stitition which they admire, or cease to bear
the yoke which now galls them. This, in my
opinion, would be treason against our Protestant
brethren and ourselves.: it would be to pas-a-
lias the exertions of our population, and prepare them
for the reception of a Foreign Invader. I trust.
therefore, this meeting will be unanimous in declar.
ing, that they never will abandon the principle of
their Petition—that they never will resign the hope
of being one day thought worthy of being admitted
within the pole of the tonsiitugon. The only ques-
tion then, that remains to be derided, is, whether this
be the proper time to persevere in a stitooele for that
1
purpose ? In any opinion, it is not ; we have seen the
merits)? iota servants of the Crown dionissed from
office, for proposing a .mall relaxor ;on of those laws in
our favour, a relaxation too, which embraced other re-
ligions, as well as ours ; we have heard of extraordi-
nary exertions to inflame the spirit of bigotry and per-
-1 secution against us; we know that the University of
1 Dublin has bean required to second the clamours of
lour enemies; but that Uoivetsity, to its immortal
honour, bas refused ; shall we then, by an indiscreet
perseverance at this moment, afford matter to our
eacmies of triumph against us, of justly accusing us
as wishing to embroil the empire, and distratt its
councils read that too perhaps upon the very eve of
a dissolution of Parliament, and contrary to the ad-
vice of our tried friends, and above all, of that illus-
trious man (Mr. Grattan), to whose efforts in our
favour we owe most of the privileges we enjoy ?
would this be to treat our friends with decency ;
would it be to repay them with gratitude ? We
see the Sovereign againo us, and shall we also jus-
titre the clamour of the English people, to mislead
whom every engine has been set at wort, that bi-
gotry, ignorance, or selfishness, could devise?" Mr.
Keogh concluded by saying," the Resolution which
I shall propose to your Lordship is pafealy con-
sistent with the Resolutions we have heretofore en-
tered into, and I firm'y hope it will be useul to
the country and to ourselves. It will prevent
the enemy from availing himself of the despair
of Catholic Ireland, and it will afford our Pro-
testant fellow-subjects, an opportunity of making
the empire irresistible, by accepting the services and
friendship of four millions of ple, of rewarding
our services, should we hereafter prove faithful and
meritorious, and of chewing their confidence and
gratitude, it is this : " Itoolved, That the Catholic
Petition be committed to t:o care of the Right Him.
the Earl of Fingal, subje.2 to the future disposal of
the Catholic Body." i
Mr. Valentine. O'Connor seconded this resolution.

Counsellor O'Gorman was speaking when we left
the mons ; but, there i. little doubt, from the great
approbation Mr. Keogh received daring the deli-
very of his speech, and Lis gnat ii.thsence amongst
the Catholics, that his resoluioq will be cartietl.

COUR I OF ;:11G'S RENC4,_Wisrmisitse, Atm Li.

JUDGMLNTS.
THE KING O. JOHN cArri At.

Upon mlitiun of the ATToIiNLY-GENICIAL, the
Defendant, in this ease, WAS brought up to receive
the judgment of the Court, for obstruding and
ascaulting John Roberts. a Revenue Officer 40 the
Island of Scilly, in the discharrol his duty. The
Defend tut suffered judgment to go against him by
default.

It appeared, that is the month of March last, the .1
Prostcator observed the Defendant, who was a
private in the Veteran Battalion, and servant to ,
Major Lynam, With some other soldiers and soi-
lons, carrying a large cask, which the Prose-
cutor knew contained pine, over the Garrison
Wall ; and when he attempted to interfere, the De-
fendant seized him by the collar, and, wish he'
assi.tance of some others, threw him on the.ground,
and kept him there, threatening to beat him, until
the cask was conveyed into the Guard-house.

In mitigation of his offence. the Defendant pro.
duced two affidavits; the first swern by himself.
and stating, that he had served thirteen years in
the army. had a wife and five children, wit a no-
thing but his pay to support. them. He expressed
much contrition for his offence, and when he found
he had done wrong, he suffered judgment to go
against him by default. The affidavit of Major
Lynam gave hint an excellent charaCter.
The Arroaeztr-Gemse•t, for the prosecution,
exceedingly regretted that the greatest criminal was,
not then before the Court ; for it was impossible
not to say, that that criminal was Major Lynam;
who. from all the circumstances, itiwat evident, bad
actually employed these soldiers ind sailors to
smuggle the cask of wine. There were other persons
inditied besides the Defendant ; but he being. the
most altive, the Learned Counsel considered it his
duty to take their recognizance& for future good
conduit, and to bring up the Defendant, whom, he
trotted, the Court would make an example of, in
order to chew gentlemen, like the Major, that such
pratiees were not to be suffered with impunity; at
the same time, he did not wish to press the matter
too much against this man, he being only the instru-
ment of a much greater aggressor.
Mr. GURNIY, for the Defendant, in mitigation,
pressed it on the Court, that he had only acted un-
der the confront of his superior officer, and had al.
ready been feur months imprisoned in Bodmin
Gaol.

Mr. Justice GROSS, in pronouncing the judgment
of the Court, expatiated with much impression upon
the nature of this off-nee ; and observed, that it had
been !unseated, that he had sidled under the controul
of his superior; he desired to tell that superior, that
he might yet find that there was a Court of Justice in
this country, which would teach him that he must
not violate its laws ; and he desired it to be under.
stood. that although soldiers were bound to obey
their officers, in the disch-trge of their military duty,
they wore not to obey them in the commission of an
illegal an. he then sentenced him to eight months
further imprisonment in Newgate.
Mr. GURNICY soon at ter applied for his-removal
to Bodmim Gaol, where he would have the assist.
once of his wife and family; but •

, -
Lord Et trisinasouou Said, the Court could not
allow tl.e expense of sending him back, bet had
no objeOion to Kis removal at his own expenses
and his Lordship thought the least has risrincipal
might do, in order to purge himself of part of hi{
offence, was to defray his expenses back. The
Court wished to make it impossible to continue
these praftiees; and where they could not reach the
principal, the punishment must be visited upon the.
ailing person.

I
