Lord Meilen then arnse and addrestsied the Meet-1
ing. After stating:that he was intiu-occl .by
anxiety and a sense of the difficulty of cluing justice
to the cause which had drawn them together, he•
congratulated the compiany in the recent triumph of
religious liberty, adverting to tie rejection or Lord,
Sidniouth's Bill. The Noble Lord urged all Owe
topics which have been stated over ;hid Dice again itt
suppitt of what is termed Qsttiolic Emancipation,
obserting, that the Catholics demanded a full part.;
ticipatiou in all rights enjoyed by notest,wts, bot al
a boon, but as a birth-right. His Lordship expressed
his satisfaclion that the prejudice=s of ancient bigotry
were dying away very rapidly, and that there was
reason to anticipate a fell and complete' tliu:Eph
the Catholics in the atiaiumein their
Wishes; the result of which, his Lordship
dared, ' would be ,a lasting barmeey and Wend-
ship among people. of all Echelons pFrsofiNions.--:
After some more obs4rvations of a similar nature;
tending
.to shew that out ancestors had shown a
weak' and :narrow-mieded spirit -in gtiarding the
Eatablishment in Church • and State by. religious
tests, he concloded.. with prow ing to drip the
health of the .Noblemen 'and 4(;:qiiknieti w: o had
been deputed by the Roman Catholics of I.elund to
prOmote the attammetn. of those bte.ssings.
Lord FItiGAL, in the name 4->f bluish and his
hrotherDelegates, as welt as t.:o Ct mile body of
Irish Qatholics, returned thanks for %he' honour
whiCh they lidd just received, and atter stating the'
readiness of the Ca • holies to shed their blood .io de:
fence of their country, his Loriship prop::;sed the
health 'ois the Chairinan, winch was rece:ved with
shoots of applause.
Other. toasts were given, and among the rest
" The• Stewards," which was so well received as 16
induce Lord 'SIANHOPB, iis.yoe.,of them, to rise and
thank the company. His Lordship touched on the
subject of Meo mg, and after adverting 'to the
rejelltion. of Lord Sithnoteh's Bill; which his Lord,:
.denominated " a great vi .Tory," he expresseq' hitf
fervent that it " would be the. i);-elude to vied.;
'furies still more impertaut." What his Loidsliip
had in view we do not pretend to:explain, but the
company, we plesurne, understood him, by' r e.,-p-
-•plause which th.y bestowed on this part. Of dui
speech. He concluded with proposing ;is' a toast.;
probably for the achievement of ti ese important vic-
tories, " A long pull, a steady and strong poll, but
above all, a pull altogether."
Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Grattan, the Duke of Bede
ford, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Whitbread, end Lord
Moira, two or three. times more, addressed tile cu,n-
pany to the same etfeci as the speeches of an whb
WO spoken before, all exulting in the hope of Cat,
tholic.Emancipation, and. the Meeting concluded at
a late hour.

Private accounts from France to the nth instant
state, that the people had at length. become ac-
quainted with the , disastrous state of affairs in Spain
and Portugal; that the deepest impression had there-
by been made upon the public mind, partiCularly tit
Paris ; and that the most serious consequences were
apprehended by the Government: -
The French were thrown into great confusion.,
and suffered considerable slaughter also, from the
Shrapnell' shells, which, thrown frorn howi!zers,
spread voilics of grape shot
,amongst them, in a
manner which their engineers were unable to sc-
count for. • .

Katants was too much indisposed to perform the
part of Rolla on Saturday last, at Covent Garden
'theatre; an apology was made for the appearance
at YOUNG as the substitute. fie was received with
with great applause, and acquitted himself very
ably. Mrs. SinpoNs, as usual, gave dignlty and
powerful died ti) Elvira.
