We insert in another column the proceedings of the
Meeting held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor, in
support of Mr. O'Comeaces election for Clare. The
absurdities to which enthusiasm leads, are so notorious,
that it is perhaps not very wonderful to hear Mr. °VON-
NUL, or even that eminent lawyer Mr. &true, gravely
contending that Catholics, under the existing laws, may
legally sit and vote in Parliament. 4, Their wish," in
truth, has been," father to that thought." Transported
with the probability of his return as Member for Clare,
the Catholic orator is no longer satisfied with his eligi-
bility as a Member of Parliament—but says, that inas-
much as the Act of Parliament preventing Catholics from
sitting in the Parliament of Great Britain was passed in
CHABLIS the Second's reign, and that restricting them
from the. Parliament of Ireland, in the reign of WILLIAM
the Third, the effect of them is separate and distinct, and
that neither of than apply to the Parliament of the United
Kingdom, which derived its name and origin from the
Union.

Now this reasoning appears plausible, and might per-
haps bear discussion, were there not in the Act of Union
an, express provision, which settles all doubts upon this
point. It is provided always. 44 th• t every one of the
Lords of Parliament of the United Kingdom, and every
Member of the House of Commons of the United King-
dom. in the brit and all succeeding Parliaments, shall,
until. the Parliament of the United Kingdom shall other-
wise provide, take the oaths, and make and subscribe
the declaration, and subscribe the oath now by liw
enjpinerl to be taken, made, and upset ibed by the Lot ds
and Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain."
After this, we hope it will not be asserted by any
one who era take the trouble of looking into the
Act of Union, that there is any omission in it favour-
able to the presumption of Mr. O'Couum.L. If indeed
be should proceed to the length of sitting and voting in
the House, it is well to caution him that he will thereby
subject himself tOthe penalty upon Popish recounts—
namely, perpetual disability to hold office, or to sit or
vote in Parliament—to sue in a Court of Law, or be a
guardian—incapability of taking a legacy or gift—and
a fine of £.500.

It is confidently asserted by those who found their
opinion upon the numerical force of the forty shilling
freeholders, and the influence of the priesthood over
them, that Mr. O'Corsurct. will be returned Member
for Clare. If such should be the result, he must con-
sole himself with the privileges of an absent Member—
such as freedom from arrest, and franking of letters.
The Catholic Body are the best judges of their own
policy ; but it does seem rather hard that Mr. FITZ
GITAILLD, a constant supporter of the Catholic claims,
should be the sufferer on the occasion.
The Gazelle de France ui Tuesiay, cont tins a Pro-
clamation to the inhabitants of Bulgaria by CountWITT-
Gowan, asserting the pacific intentions of Russia
totted' the Provinces, the determination of the Em-
peror I. preserve the strictest discipline among his
troops, and the recommendation vs the Bulgarians not
to leave their dwellings. It is delightful to see the fears
and honors of the people of the seat of war mitigated
by measures so considerate and humane. The Prod.',
matron will naturally increase the good will of the
Provinces to the Emperor Nrcnot4s. The accounts
from Bucharest mention that the Grand Army bas
commenced the passage of the Danube at Ismail, sad
that Brailow was oft the point of yielding.
