Sir—As Chairman of a Meeting of the Roman Catholic
Inhabitants of St. Audeon's Parish, in this City, held on the
13th inst., it devolves on me to acquaint you, that it was re-
solved to entrust you with the presentation of their Petition

beg leave to request you will be pleased to present it. this
Session, whenever you may deem most advisable, fully con.
fiding in the kind interest you have always manifested in their
cause, to give it all the effect in vour power.
The generous sentiments of libirality which our respect-
able and enlightened Protestant brethren now proclaim in
behalf of fteedom to the Roman Catholics, inspires them with
the most anxious hopes that their just claims to a full parti-
cipation of the blessings of the Constitution will not be longer
withheld.

I hare the honour to be, with great respect, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
JOHN O'BRIEN.
To Sir Henry Parnell, Bart., &c. &c. &c.

COPY OF A LETTER TO JOII N O'BRIEN, ESQ., MOUNT-

JOY•SQUARE, EAST, DUBLIN.
London, Jan. 29, 1819.
Sir,—l hare had the honour of receiving your letter of the
22d, and, f assure you, 1 feel very much flattered by the con-
fidence the Parishioners of St. Andeon'S have been so kind as
to place in me, in entrusting Me to present their Petition to
the House of Commons.

Tlie liberal spirit of the Protestants (to which yon allude)
has produced a very favourable impression here ; and if this is
well supported by Catholic Petitions, flout every parish in
Ireland, the most happy result may be expected. If I. was
to sav (as far as tit, experience enables the to say) what is
the best course of conduct to pursue, I should entirely re-
commend the most active exertions for obtainini imme-
diately similar meetings thruuthout all Ireland, to that
which has occurred in your parish. The influence of the
voice of the whole body respectfully pressed upon the atten-
tion of Parliament, by several hundred Petitious, would have
the most striking effect.

The•elf.cellent example of dignity and moderation of the
parish of St. Atideon, cannot be toogenerally followed by their.
Catholi'c cuuutoaricia.
I bare the lionodr to he,
Yonr obedient and obliged Servant,
H. PARNELL.
John O'Brien, Esq. &c. &c. &c.

necessity of any recommendation or suggestion on my part.
I have the honour to be,

Your Lordship's most ohedieut humble Servant,

JOHN O'BIUEN.
To the Right Hon. Earl Donoughmore.

Lord Donoughmore, so repeatedly the selected advocate of
his Boman Catholic Countrymen, will be much gratified in
presenting, with just respect and imliminished zeal for the
enforcement of their leg,itimate Claims' upon the justness of
Parliament, to that House of which he is a Member, the
Petition of the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of.St.Audeon's
Parish, which they hare dune Lord Donoughniore the ho.
hour of confiding to him, who is extremely sensible Of
