Richmond, and the Hon. W. W. Pair, from the
Government 'elf Ireland;
• Major .E.011G13 BRYAN in the Chair.
Mr. Huse Y 'read a Petition, which • had been
prepared by the 17;citittnittee. It was conehe.l in
energetic.. but strictly canstitetional language, ex-
pressive of the fidelity Of the 'lrish Catholics to the
'Throne, and-of their just indignation at the attempt
which had been insultingly Made to nbitecret tltetri
in the exercise of their sacred right to petition for
Redress of Grievances.
This Petition received the approbation of every
Member of the Committee, and would hove 'been
unanimously adopted, if Mr. Pitzsinnans had net
produced and read a-Petition,composed by biimelf •
on the same silbjea, which seemed, in the
tent of the majority of the Committee, to possess
such extraordinary beauty of style as to meiit a
preference. It was accordingly adopted:
The:ge.c. Mr. Hay, read an -extract of a letter,
addressed to him by the Right Hon. Lord ViseOu-t
'SOuthWell, in which his Lordship declined the honor
of going with:the other Noblemen and Gentle:flint,
who had been • respiested to present the kldres4 cif
the Catholics of Ireland to the Prince Regent—" if
it were expe6ted that his Lordship should also vti,
.tend the delegates whenever they might present the
Petition for the removal of the' Dike-of ILchtnond
and the Right Hon. AF W: Pole. • ,
It was proposed that the Secretary should nieify
to irk Lordship 'that. it was the opinion of the'Coin.l.
, mince, that' his Lordship could not separate his

duties. •
•
Mr. MURPHX contended that his Lordship pos.
sessed a discretionary power to accept or reject any
part of the trust delegated to him by the Aggregaiii
'Meeting. .
Mr.' HUSSEY argued with considerable animation,
that the vote of the Aggregate. Meeting did not at
ford to_his Lordship any optional power of discharg-
ing one part of his. trust, and declining the other,
Mr. MUE_PHY persevered in his opinion.
'Mr. HuSiav moved,,a resolution expressive of the'
inconipeterNy.olthe Delegates to separate the duties
imposed on them by the people'. • • • •
11r. MURPHY declared, tat the argurrients oriVit
Hussey bad not coliittCed him. He thought Gera
was the•sfrongest necessity for adhering to the votes
of the Commit.tee, which requited that go Gentle-
man should intro.iute any motion withnot having
given regular opt,ce. linotice were-gken, Gentle.;
men would haie time to tons del ,he proposal, and
make up their minds on the subject. "'lit the in:l-
-t ion was of such a itature'..% tlr.Ctitiunittee'was not

mem stepping-beyond the bounds pre3cribed to them
