IRfSH CATHOLICS.
This day a General Meeting of the Catholics took place at the
Exhibition Houle, in William ftreet, Dublin. About two o'clock
the Earl of FINGAL was called to the Chair. His Lortilblp having
briefly Rated the purpofe for which the Meeting was convened, it
was moved and carried, that two letters, recently received from an
illuttrious character, touching their petition to Parliament, thout.i
be read. The firft letter, figued Henry Grattan, was an expreflion
of his thanks for the honour done him by the Catholic Body, by
fending him to relent their petition ,and a Rrong recommenda-
tion to them for the prefect to forego their intended application.
Mr. G ATTAN Rated it to be his owu individdal opinion, that tho
time was highly unfavourable to their views, when a great change
was about to take place in his Majesty's Councils; bdt, be added,
that he would call a meeting of their friends, wd communicate to
them their united opinion on the fubieet. The frond letter con-
veyed to them the refult of that meeting, which concurred entirely
with his own opinion.
Mr. K Loofa then rote, and delivered a fpeech, agreeing with the
sentiments of Mr. GRATT AN, and the language lately held in Par-
t lament by the authors of the Catholic Bill, concluding as follows
—" The Refolution which I (hall propofe to your Lordfbip is pet•
fedtly confiftent with the Refolutions we have heretofore entered.
into, and I firmly hope it will be deal to the country and to our*
(elves. It win prey nt the enemy from availing bfinfelf of the de-
fpair of Catholic Ireland, and it will afford our Proteftant fellow
fubjcdts an opportunity of making the Empire irrefiftibla, by ac-
cepting the fervices and friendibip of four millions of ; of
rewarding our Cervices, fbould we hereafter prove fail2gul and
meritorious, and of Mewing their confidence and gratitude, it is
this : " Ratoned, that the Catholic Petition be committed to the
care of the Right Hon. the Earl of FINGAL, fubjed to the future
difpotal of the Catholic Body." i
Mr. VALENTINE O'Cosnoft fixooded tins Refolution,and le-
veal other (peahen followed. The meeting had not broken up
when the mail came away ; but it was fuppofett the Rifolutiou of
Mr. KCOOII would be carried.

Laft night, in the midi of a grand fete given by
Mrs. W. Pavan in Montaguaquare, the curtains of
the front drawing room took fire, and create/ the
greateft alarm, as the room was full of ladies. The
confufion and (bricks were great; fortunately Capt.
MARRY, of the Navy, with the ufual dafh of a Brit&
feaman, milted to the fpot, and, by tearing down the
flaming drapery, ftopt the conflagration, which mutt
have deftroyed this elegant manflon.
