'CATHOLIcs OF .laELAD.--In donseqnence Of a
summons from the Earl of FINGAL, a _ Meeting of
this body took place on the gth inst. at I.),AacY's,
in Earl-street, Dublin. The objed of the Meeting
was to consider the propriety of Petitioning
Parlia-
mentfor a coMplete emancipation, as it was tdrmed,
of the Catholics of Ireland. The Earl of Fisloat,
took The chair, and after stating that he conceived
it to be. his duty to call che present rvieeting, con-
cluded, withh declaring that he understood it was the
intention of Governriteut to signify Low far such an
application was likely to obtain - a Legislative sant>,
tion. Mr. .KEOGH. then arose and audressed the.
Chair; The, substante of his,speech was a recotW
mendation of unanimity. Some of his declarations
might not be thought prudent, particularly when he
said, " The fate of the Catholics is in their :own
hands." In the course of his speech he humourous-
ly described BONAPARTE as " 20 honorary Member
of all Religious." At length he proposed,a Reso-
lution,'iMporting that the present was a proper time
for presenting a Petition to Parliament for the re-
quired cmangpation. The Resolution ,was carried
unanimously, and a ComMittee of fortpone :Gen-
tlemen was appointe4 to prepare and forward the
Petition.
