DUBLIN, SUM-AV.—The Marquis of Anglesea s
administration has commenced vigorously. He ar-
rived on Thursday, Friday and Christmas-day
were occupied in consulting with the Law Officers
as to the course to be adopted with regard to the
threatened meeting of trades, convened for to-mor-
row, to present an address to the" Liberator ;" and
the result has been the proclamation which I hert-
with forward. I have just taken a walk through
various parts of the city, and have observed a great
many copies posted in the neighbourhood of the va-
rious Roman Catholic chapels, with crowds of people
perusing them. They appear to be much exaspe-
rated; and I heard several swear they would pay
no obedience to the proclamation, and that they
would have a meeting and a procession in spite of
Government. This feeling, however prevalent among
the lower classes, does not extend to their leaders;
and I have reason to know that, however mortifying
it must be to their vanity, they have determined to
submit. The langtuqie made use of by the different
' agitators at their various meetings this week has far
exceeded in sedition's daring any thing previously
spoken by them. The printed reports of the speeches
convey no idea of their, violence (although you may
probably say what is published is bad enough): but
the directors of the Press are, in fact, afraid of sub-
jecting themselves to prosecution by publishinrver-
bating the rebellious ravings of the demagogues. They
have had melancholy experience of the tender mer-
cies of Mr. O'Connell In 'avowing himself as the
author of certain speeches which the law deemed
libellous; and, however willing they may be to as-
sist in serirating the two countries, the spectre of
Harding 'racy occasionally ihts across their recol-

leetions; and (leeks their patriotic aspirations. ---
I mentioned in my former communications that
when the " Repeal" question was first agitated, acid
for some time after, scarcely a Protestant joined the
tanks of the Anti-Unionists. I regret, however, to
state that numbers have been latterly cajoled into a
belief that the measure is eminently calculated to be.
nrfit them; and at a meeting of the parishioners of
St. Mary's, which was held in the arena last Thurs-
day, se veralrespectable Protestant tradesmen attended
and advocated the necessity o(fie repeal. At this meet-
ing Messrs. O'Connell, Rouayne, Steele,, Lawless,
.Costello, and other extra-parochial agitators, at•
tended, and addressed the assembly. While the
'Liberator was speaking, a number of last Tuesday's
Courier was put into his hand, containing a para-
graph contradicting certain statements made by the
veracious patriot as to his being lately offered a high
situation, in reference to which he called the eon.
rier A LIAR, and declared if it had presumed to
nt-
sert an unauthorised contradiction, or if any indivi-
dual would dare to affix his name to it, he, O'Con-
nell,. would then give the. full particulars of the
negociation, and the names of the persons concerned,*
At this meeting a certain tradesman declared that
the first hostile shot fired in Ireland would be " a
receipt in full for the national debt." The senti-
ment was loudly cheered, and the Liberator hoped
it would ho conveyed to the ears of the Marquis of
Anglesea...
THULE O'CL9cx-7Thestreetseregreatlicrowded,
and many of the proclamations have been torn down.
All the police functionaries are on duty at the. dif-
ferent offices. Strong 'rumours are 'current of an
intention, on the part of Government, to call out the
yeomanry. Every thing is assuming a serious sp.;
pearanee.
