Ir WAS RESOLVED. Ist. That we feel it our duty sincerely
to congratulate all classes and parties in this great Empire
on the happy adjustment of a question which has so long
proved a source of discord and weakness to the State; and
we hope that, as their several prejudices can no longer dis-
tract the attention of our fellow-citizens, the Empire shall
hencefi 4.ward enjoy the benefit of their united exertions,
without distinction of sect or party, in its support.

2d. That tohis Grace the DUKE or WELLINGTON national
gratitude is pre-eminently due for accomplishing (under
the auspices of our Gracious Sovereign), the invaluable
work of " Religious Peace," which he, to his great ho-
nour, began on the 10th day of January, 1793, in
the Irish Parliament; and which it has been his
peculiar good fortune and merit to complete, as Prime
Minister, in the United Parliament, ou the 13th of
April, 1829.

rati.ns these feelings of just acknowledgment, and at the
