in favoer of thet dissolution, which are independent. of au-
thority. In 18.15 we were absurdly led into a belief that
Loa• le; vet pi;o1 was favourable ter our citusea---this was a
linen neater of surmise—the 'delusion Was speedily dis-
pereed. But how stands the ease now ? We have a
speech .tour the throne--(hear and cheers)—we have a de-
ci.irati.in front the Duke of Wellington, and AO* all, We
have a distinct recantation from Mr, Peel.—(Cheers.)—
What pretence have we for dist-meting the Government,
when chief menibere have not only contrihnted their
starragee in our lamer, but have receded from the tipiftions

obvione that. the Association is to be suppressed ; an Act
of Parliament is in progress for its dissolution. Should

Nte. rarest neee;e perish. Shall we fell by an honourable
Rnieide, or by the hands of legislative execution ? It is
'quite manifest, that before many days shall ga by, the act
for our suppression will bare been in full force ; that will
pet us down. Is it not, therefore, wise upon our part to
meet the Minister, and to take away from him every pre-
tence far an infringement upon the rights of the Irish
people ?_(Loud cheers.)—He is preparing fetters—let

IMy reasons for the dissolution of this body are few and
obvious, It was established in order to carry emancipa-
tion ; the end is gained, let us disperse. The dim:lilt-ion
of this body will lead to the mitigation of prejudice ; that
will render the adjustment of the question mere easy ; we
shall give evidence of our disposition to enter into the views
of the Minister. The pas,ions of the English people have
Its-en invoked ;we shall by this measure allay them.—
(Ilear.)—Thus we shall render the introduction of penal
nieesures unnecessary, anti at the carne time convince the
people ef England that we only aim at a just level of citi-
zeriehip with our Protestant fellow-subjects; we shall acce-
lerate Catholic emancipation. (Cheers.) I see that these
reasons have convinced this assembly.--(Cheering.)—
(Here Mr. Maurice O'Connell handed a note to Mr. Sheil.)
Mr. Sheil—Mr. Maurice O'Connell has suggested to me,
that we should wait until we hear from his father. Well,
I think that this delay is not unreasonable-1 yield to this
sipplicetion —At the same time, it its manifest that the
sed•tolee rf this meeting are fora tlissolution. (Loud cheers.)
'The diesolution is substantially carried. (Loud cheering.)
If I do not press my motion, it is from deference to the ap-
peal ed. jell has been made to me by Mr. Metwice. O'Connell.
I cook carry it at once—(loud cheers)—and' let it be
known that I postpone the matter until Thursday, as a
mere r :Ater of farm. (Loud cheers,) The Association
is really diesolvell. (Mr. Shell sat down amidst loud and
tiontitmed cheering.)
Lore KILLEEN—My first impression was, upon hearing
of the present motion, that I should he decidedly hostile to
it. Since then I had many opportunities of conversing
with persons of great experience and intelligence, and I
now think that the sooner we dissolve the better.
Mr. M. BELLEW read two resolutions which be in-
tended to propose—one was for an address to the people
of Irel aid. • He thought this should be done, for the pur-
pose o!' showing that they did not dissolve in such a hurry,
as thee they could not manifest attention to them to whom
it was due. The last resolution was, that relying on the
asieurai cis given to the Catholics in the Speech from the
Throne, the Association should, at its next meeting, ad-
journ sine die.
Mr. Leweiss had, in an early part of the evening,
given -mice of a motion for adjourning sine die. He
thought it as well to waive his notice, hut he would re-
ceive to himself the tight of proving, and be was certain
of demeestrating, that instead of dissolving, they should
a ijourn sine die.—(Cries of "No, no ; a dissolution.")
