On Saturday evening the Roman Catholic Cnm.
mittee decided that their Petition fhould be laid be-
fore Mr. Pi rr previous to its prefentation ; and at

Minifter fhould conceive that any danger would be
likely, at the prefent juncture, to attend the dircuf-
lion of the fubjed.
A Special Jury was occupied the entire of this day,
in examining whether Sir I-11mM Massry, a Gentle-
man of large landed property in the county of Clare,
was a lunatic or not. After minute inquiry he was
found to be of found mind and capable of the dif-
pofal of his property. The inquiry originated at the
fuit of the eldeft fon.

Richard Rochford, Efq. of Dublin, inclined for
the murder of Richard Canells, Efq. in a duel which
too!: place in Anglia 1789, has been acquitted of
murder, and found guilty of manflau4liter.

A Letter from St. Vincent, d tted Dec. Ix, 1804,
Lays—" We are at prefent all in peace and quietnefs in
this country, and every appearance of remaining fo.
The French privateers, which are (warming, are the
only fource of uneafinefs to us at this moment, by
annoying our Packets and Ships from Europe. An
Englith armed (hip, called the T. Eris, of Dominica,
was lately attacked by the Bonaparte privateer brig,
off Barbadoes, who met with fuch a warm reception
from theThetis, that difabled her complete! y,and made
her fall into the hands of one of our sloops of war a few
days afterwards. Our fea and land forces in the Well:
Indies are all much as ufual, and, confidering the
climate, in as gond health as can be expedled. This
Auld, as I mentioned to you Come time fiace, is alI
a: fixes and (evens, nothing but party stork prevailing
between the Civil Government and the inhabitants.
Our Governor, although a molt worthy good cha-
rafter, the people cannot agree with ; relignations,
tkc. are the confcquencee. There is not the fmalleft
appearance of an; ex?edition being formed againft
any of the enemy's colonies in this quarter, which is
fo often hinted at in the Englith papers. In-
deed, in my humble opinion, we have peffeiroes
enough, and inftead of grafping at more, to take
care of thofe we have got already, w ,uld be a more
confiftent plan. We hare barely troops enough in
the country to put any very relpe4lable garrifons in
our numerous colonies.

0 The Lady of Sir Wes. Mrs as, our Commander,
goes home to Europe by this Packet. I underliand
there has been a good deal of ficknefs, and fome mor•
tality, iu the General's houfe, at Dar badoes."
