MR. GRATTAN'S REPLY..

" tint—l inclose my answer to the Resolutions, and can-
na do so without expressing the high sense I have of the
sentiments of your Letter, and the estimation in which I
bold your favourable opinion.

" I remain, Sir, your very humble Servant,
Tinchinch, Dec. 27. HENRY (RATTAN."

" had the honour to receive the Resolutions and
Petition of ►he Roman Catholic Inhabitants of the Parishes
of St, Macy; St. Thomas, and St. George. I shall most
cheerfully present their Petition; and I shall do it with a
confidence, arising, nut only from the Merits of their goes-
tiop, but from a recollection of their own good conduct, and
the steady tranquillity manifested upbn the present trying
occasion, by the Roman Catholics, who have repudiated with
scorn the overtures of mischief, of folly, and of infatuation.
" I have the honour to be, your humble Servant.
Tinchinch, Dec. 27. " HENRY GRATTAN.

"Anthony O'Brien, Esq. Upper Gardner-street?'
ATkiLONS, DEC. 31.—The Rev. Armstrong
Xellv, a Magistrate of the county of Roscommon,
bent last Souday to the Chapel of Ballivary, at-
tended by a party of the Mount Talbot detach-
ment of Police, and, as soon as Mass was over,
apprehended tour men, charged with administer-
ing illegal oaths, and committed them to Ros-
common gaol.

CAVAN?, DEC. 31.—We are extremely sorry to
ham, from unquestionable authority, that a SG.
rionsand premeditated riot occurred a few days
since at Carriollen, in the county of Leitrim,
and was entirely of a religions party description ;
We are not sufficiently acquainted with the tut-
(tire of this unpleasant transaction, to enter
folly into the particulars of it, but its conse-
quences have been of a very serious nature, seve-
ral persons having been severely and some of them
dangerously wounded. Several of the Proiestant
party sought refuge in some houses in the town,
Which were surrounded by the Roman Catholics,
for the purpose of forcing an entrance, and in the
exchange of shots which took place, several of
those outside suffered severely. Both parties were
armed with fire-arms, pikes, scy hes, and other
murderous Weapons, and were it not for the
timely anti spirited interference of Ach, O'Brien.
Esq. a Magistrate of that county, who succeeded
iu quelling the disturbance, and dispersing the
rioters, the consequences would have been much
shore se; ions.—(Cavan Heraid

tIAJOR CAIiTvrRIGHT AND LoBRETT. —The
Bragging Radical, CosBETT, app-ars resolved to
stand soius in his en&avours to reform the land.
Having been repulsed in his endeavours to effect
a reconciliation with Sir FRANtif BURDETT, he
has determined to cut all acquaintance with the
Baronet's party. CLEARY, whom our readers will
recollect that fIuNT, in the full exercise of his
abuse and vulgarity, denominated a " Kept-
'flats Mistress," and Avho is a friend of the
11/,,'","et, is also the Crony of the " old

iexpose made by this quondam ft lend, in publish-
ling 'he letter, wherein he says, " there is one
mast's
a Bristol [Nan, riding about with another
wite, a sad fellow, take care of him," and
vvhich Cosr3RTT so impudently pronounced to be
a forgery be has therefore insisted on Major
CARTIVRiDUT'S discarding this Ex-Secretary of
the IVe.stminster Committee, as the sine qua non
of colitinu;ng the connexion. I'o this demand, the
Veteran Radical has refused to accede, contider•
log it rather too much to be thus dictated to iu
his old age. The party arc therefore at ,c dag-
gers drawn," and some important discoveries may
be shortly expected to verify the proverb, that

• Letters have been received from the Cape'of
Good Hope of the 30th October. Lord HENRY
SOMERSET rip to that dare Was still engaged treat-
ing, it was reported, with the Caffre Chiefs, for
the cession ot a large portion ot their territory.'
The late military operations having terminatedin
the total discomfiture and dispersion of the sa-
vages, had had the effect of humiliatiog them to
such an. extent, that his Lordship, it is said, had
little difficulty in obtaining as much land as he
wanted. He did not, however, place much con-
fidence in the amicable disposition of the Cattres,
but had requested, it is said, the, Government at
home to stud out from Logland a regiment of
cavalry,
to be prelim ed for tresh hostilities. 1 t
is from the want of this species of force that the
Caffres ha%e been'tormidabie for some !ime past.
It is rumoured that the black mounted regiment,
called the Florida Regiment, at present stationed
1" Jamaica, is to by Ma to toe Cape of Good
Hope.
