bUBLIN, APRIL 23.

His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND has signified
his intention of supporting his Government•by vigo-
tons measures; but there is no truth in the insidious
report of any thing haying persOnally passed between
his Grace and Lord FINGAL on the subjea of the
late Catholic Conventions, although the legality of
those meetings, after the inflammatory speeches 'de-
livered in them by Mr. KEOGH and Co. may not
improperly be questioned.
Yesterday his Grace the Duke of Riciarumn held
his first Levee at the Castle ; it was numerously and
brilliantly attended ; most of the Nobility and Gentry
now in the City were present. •
in order that the Answer from the Duke of BED-
Foul) to the Catholic Body should be perfectly un-
derstood, we consider it necessary to give the Reso-
lution agreed to at the Catholic Meeting on .Satur-
day last :
Resolved, That Lord FINGAL be requested to
wait upon his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, and to
expreSs the gratitude which the Catholic Body feel
for the mild and dignified conduct pursued by his
Grace, during his Administration in Ireland, towards
every description of his Majesty's subje6ts, and their
deep, sincere, and unfeigned regret at his Grace's in-
tended departure from this country."
Lord FINGAL having Waited On hiti Grade accord-
ingly, received the following answer

‘‘. The Resolution which your Lordship has been
pleased to convey,to me, as the sense of that great
and loyal Body, the Roman Catholics of Ireland,
claims my warmest acknowledgments:
In the discharge of the arduous trust committed
to my hands by his MAJESTY, it has been my con-
stant and earnest endeavour to promote the interests
and prosperity of this part of the United Kingdom ;
and in now relinquishing that trust, in obedience to
his MAJESTY'S command, I retire to the less mix.;
iolfs cares of private life, cheered by a conscious feel, .
ing within Me, that to the best of my imperfe&.
juc!grnellt and abilities. I have done my duty to my'
Sovereign and to My Country.
In whatever station I may hereafter be placed,
be assured, my Lord, that I shall never cease to 'en-
tertain the most.fervent wishes for the happiness oi
every class and. aeseription of': my fellow-subjeCts in
this part of thepritish Empire.

At two o'clock yesterday, the farewell' Levee of
his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD commenced at the
Castle; the number of Nobility and .Gentry who
attended was immense ; we scarcely supposed the
Union shad left so many in the country. *Their
Graces appeared .sensibly to feel this testimonial of
Irish resped and approbation. It was not, however,
the last they were to experience. About four
o'clock the procession departed from the Castle ;
their graces the-Dukes of-13EnFoRD and RtontleNv,
in one carriage, escorted by the sth Dragoon Guards;
and, in a second carriage, her Grace the Ducheks of
BEDFORD, accompanied by- Mrs. Sevmonit, Miss
FORDYCE, and Colonel SEYt4OUR. At five o'clock
they embarked on board the yacht, under a salute
from the batteries. ,

The first public Speech Day at Harrow School,
for this year, is fixed for Tumlar sth iv 1;!)., instead.
