The UNlirgßSlrl 4911. D T WORM

On Friday, the 3d, instant; at three,o'clocii, the
University of Dublin waited in state ,on his Excel..
leney the Lord Lieutenant, when a luininOuil anti
eloquent Address was delivered in, Latin, by the
lity. Dr. Graves, .in that persitsi.Ve and'impres-
sive stile for COOthat ' eminent Divine is so pe,
,culially distinguished. 140 congrattilated hls

Chief Governor, and with great hiipe dud coriftl.
4eke attgtircd the happiest consequences . iff that
went=—gave a retrospect of the many' high atilt
important tlceitsioris on which it pleased ode So-
vereign, Co the great hoaotir and advantage of the
Einprre, t 9 call on the assistani!e t 1 tio,e splensi
did talents and endow:lents with Which his Lord-
ship is so eminently gii.ted.7—tlien briefly ink:heti
cla'the present state of thc;e Rialnis, eriga:sed ita a
just and necessary war, irs defence of all that hu-
manity can hold dear, lorced on its by the
• tiotis and. aggressions of a lawless and satigaitiary
Tyrant—enumerated the nainitold blc!,,ingi of a
sound anti virtuous cdocation. and the paramonnt'
superiorit,y of those countrOs where at ion
and letters are promoted 3 the Reveretal Speaker
observed, that " 'loath* leads so much to the,
culture anti propirrati3On of every amiable and

-ed Virtue; aiid true forMation and diree-
ant Of the IltimaiOlind, as the lights of Morality
and Science. In, the absence of those celestial
guides, the mind, howeier great its Cap+Cities,
becomes noxious and 'Waste ;, on the soil of IgnO-
ranee, error and depravity predominate, and vicel,:
disgrace the highest natural endoWments.
In a parallel between the, state of CiVilizatiort
in these Countries, aud,,hi other putts of Etirope,
observed, as neatly ,as;w.e can recollect "that the
disasters' and degradation of our Yellow-en:awn:a
on the Continent, groaning under the yoke of a
ruthless and ambitious Despot, ivho-ie° linilts Of
right, and wrong are the boundless indidgence of
his lawless ferocitywho regards not Law, Estab#:
lishment or Usage, however ancient or "venerable,
and front whoSe impious aggression nothing is sa'
Cred,,principa* muse from the lamentable state
of ignorance, timidity, and consequent imbecility
to which their rude tied unlettered state reduced
the 'great Mass of the people; while in these highly
cultivated and enlighten'ed Nations, blest with t§:
Constitution and Laws the envy and adthiration
of the world, we are conscious of Wive dignity;
we knoW the value of our Country, the power of
our resources, and the means of employing them ;
we spurn the Menaces and hostility of the Tyrant;
w., chew him that he is less than invincible ; westand
on awed, unimpaired, his terror and disinay, .arnid
the wreck hi Empires. Here liberty has teniple
in every bosom7---otir incense is daily offered tut
the altar of our Guardian Genias, and the veva
flame of Loyalty and Patriotism burns with a
purity and lustre Which the eye of the enemy dare
not approach,' aid which we pray Heaven may
never f,!el gloom or extinction.'!
To whicliltis Excellency was graciously pleased
to, reply Much to the following:eect
" I have great 'Satisfaction in receiving the
Address. that the distinguished Body of which
you ire a Meinhe?; deputed you to present
to me on my aitii!itritt this country. •
" 1t has proved highly gratifliinir to me to find,
that my conduct, in. the• dischafg,e of those ini-
pOrtant duties With which it has pleased my So-
vereign to entruift me ,:at periods of tut
life, has attracted 'their notice and entitled me to
their applause.
My cordial approbation of those.prineiples
Which they LaVe. reciiinntended to me for the
guidance of my conditet in the high' sitnation to
which I have' beeniecently uppointed,, gives me
some confidence that I shall not disappoint tho
hopes, or forfeit that good opiniett, which have
been so liberally 'expressed by the University of
Journat.) •
