This forenoon we received Frankfort and other Ger•
man Papers to the 16th inst. by which we that
several of the inhatitAnts of Alsace, who had emigrated
when that Provin-e belonged to France, have claimed
relief by the Indemnity Bill, now before the Chambers.
Their claim has been attended to, and it was resolved,
that thwe Frenchmen who emigrated, and whose estates,
situated in districts that belonged to France on Ist
January, 1792, have been sold, shall also have a share
in the indemnity. But even this measure does not give
satisfaction ; and the Nuremberg Correspondent ex-
presses surprise that the law is not extended to all persons
not henchmen, who possessed estates in those subse-
quently ceded districts which were sold on account
of the nation.

The Catholic Association of Ireland has been formally
dissolved, The last meeting was held on Friday, when
the Hose. Cclonel BUTLER took the Chair. Mr. CON..
IFi AT read a parting Address, which had been agreed
on by the Committee; and Mr. M. O'Contsm. read a
long letter from Counsellor M01414E1.4 dated London,
March 16. In this letter, Mr. O'Conttr.u. egresses
his conviction that the Association had done, and was
calculated to ao, much good ; and expresses his regret
that sufficient pains were not taken to " enlighten the
pool& of England" as to the views and wishes of the
Association. He recommends a ready and willing
submission to the law, and thus condemns the Asso-
elatinn— at least so far as to its expediency : " There

remain," says Mr. O'CoNszt.r., le many and abundant
Comeitattioisal sources of relief ; there remain malty and
abundant legal means of seeking for redress of our
grievances."

Mr. O'CoNwsta. expresses his conviction that Eman-
cipation is at hand, unless they, the CathMies, " retard
or postpone it by senseless calumnies, or *treasonable
apprehensions." Mr.O.ConicELL next notite:, the in-
temperate letter of Mr. LAWLESS, whom he disavows as
not having been a Member of the delegation, and 'vindi-
cates himself from the selfish motives attributed to him
by Mr. LAWLISS. Mr. O'Connst.r. explains the plan
which he supposes will bebrought forward for raising
the amount of the freehold qualification necessary to
give a vote in county elections in Ireland. He observes
that this plan, which is but in embryo, does not take
away the tight of voting in towns or cities, or in any
case where the freeholder has a fee•simple estate.

In conclusion, Mr. .O'CortN ELI. thus addresses his
countrymen;
" I close my last words to the Catholic Association with the
strong hope, that the spirit of conciliation which has sprung up
in England, vrillbe met by a corresponding glow of discrtet, but at
the same time genera's confidence ; and that, flinging away idle
fears and Wiesbaden, we shall evince a cordial and lively &post.
den to make inch an arrangement as shall be satisfactory to ail
parties; and shall demonstrate our unaffected desire to consolidate
the strength and increase the security of the Empire."
The amount of the rent on the two days preceding
was stated at 2521. l9s. 3d. After some other business
had been transacted, three cheers were given for " Old
Ireland," the Meeting " dissolved in solemn silence,"
and every man went his way.

Last night, in the House of Commons, Mr. HUMUS
sow, in a speech which is remarkable for its force and
perspicuity, stated the important and beneficial altera-
tions Ministers intend to make in our Colonial trade:Mese
measures are calculated to be of the most essential ser-
vice, not only to our Colonies, but to the commercial
interests of this country. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, MI.
BARING, and Dr. LUSIUNOTON, all expressed their gra-
tification at the liberal view taken by his MAJESTY'S
Ministers on subjects which involved the most impor-
tant interests of the country.
