FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Nov. 28.

ADMIRALTY—OFFICE, Nov. e 2 8 .

Extract of a Letter from Captain Lyons, of his Majesty's ship
Blonde, to Vice Admiral Sir Puhenry Malcolm, K.C.B. Com-
mander in Chief of his Majesty's squadron in the 33editerrancan,

dated olr Mores Castle, the .50th Oct. 1848.
In obeying your order to act in concert with the Senior Officer i
of his Most Christian Majesty's ships, I have bad the good fortune
of ending myself associated with those distinguished Officers, Cap-
tain Mancini' Duplessis, of La Duchene de Berri ; Hugon, of

; and Villeneuve, of La Didon ; and in detailing the
proceedings of the Blonde, I at the same time describe those of
the French frigates, for I assure you, that throughout an arduous
service of twelve days and nights. in very unfavourable weathers
.
the most perfect concert and hearty co-operation have been inva-
riably manifested.
On the itith.inst. General Schneider expressed a wish that four
eighteen-posanders should be landed front each snip, and in fess
than four hours they were on shore, with all their appointments:
the dilleulties occasioned by the surf on the beach being overcome
by the fine spirit which animated all, French and English being
in the water mutually assisting each other. In this operation the
oral and inulligence of Lieutenant &mourn Brack were very
conspicuous.
On the 20th instant, Lieutenants Luckraft and I)3erel ; Mesas.
Mockler, Hay, Blair, and Austen, marts; Ale,srs. de Sanatares,
Kennedy, Dawkins, and Dar, Midshipmen, lauded with a party
of seamen, and .commenced making the batteries, under the direc-
tion of the French Officers of Engineers and Artillery.
At nine o'clock on the 22.1, the battery opened its fire on Morea
Castle, and in a few hours silenced the guns opposed to it; but as
the army advanced in their approaches to the breaching battery,
the Castle opened fresh guns, which rend red it necessary for the
marine battery to fire, at intervals, for tiiin days and nights.

Last evening the guns of the (agues, with• two twenty-four-
pounders, which Admiral de Rigny landed from the Conquerant
on his arrival, and such of the battering train as the weather en-
abled us to, disembark, were fairly established in the two breach
ing batteries, named by General liaison, Charles X. and George
IV. the French and English guns being promiscuously placed in
each; and at daylight this morning, together with the mortar bat.
tery and. the /Etna bunt), opened suck a tremendous fire on the
'Castle as to produce, in four boors, an unconditional surrender.
• lam sure you will be glad to find that the seal and professional
talent exhibited by Captain Lushington, his Officers, and ship's
company, have excited the admiration of all.
The /Ewa was worked up in the night, under reefed courses
and close reefed topsailsi anchored and sprung, with such preci,ion,
within eight hundred yards of the Casee, as to enable that 'meth.
gent Officer, Lieut. Logan, of the Royal Marine. Artillery, to throw
one hundred and two shells into the Castle, only the-first four going
too far. Captain Lushington assures me that he received the most
valuable assistance front Lieutenant Walker.

THMISDAT NIGIII, NOT. 27.
The adjourned Protestar.t Meeting for the formation
of a Burnswick Club to k place in the Guildhall of the
City this morning. The time al-pointed for cogs..
Inencing business win one o'cli ck, but long before that
hour every avenueleading to the place of busines4 'ass .
beset by anxious spectators, who, filling the Nisi Pi ids
Court to suff,:cation, "hen the principal movers cave
to take possession of their seats, found them occupied.
sod an adjournment therefore took place to. a larger
Court.

THOMAS PHILLIPS, E. of Hanbuty H4II, moved
that Maj r BUN), Of Wick House, do t4ke the Cha;t.
Captain Bunitovons 'aid, it aff rded him great plea.
sore ti second that motion.

Major BUNS then took the chair amidst great seek.
mation, and addre sing the Meeting, said—
GINTLEIJEN—I entertain no animosifes aoainst in.
dividual., no prejudices against persons, bet only against
parties, when those pi Errs are inimical to the interests
of my country. lam a sound Ptotestant, without bi-
gotry; an hereditary liralist, without ithei-totyism; I
love liberty, civil and•religisus ; I bate democracy ; I
denounce fanaticism. I demand your generous suppntt
of the rights we enjoy as Englishmen andPro•estanes;
your manly resolution to declare openly your au• ch.
ment to our laws atid our religion; sour sturdy defi rims
f tho,e encroachments which threaten to annitil :te
el that we revere in our glorious Coostitution. At a
time like the present, it appears to me cur impel sous
duty to be fearless its the expression of our attachment
so it. Surely this Isithful city will not renounce its
boasted name? Surely this loyal county, which has
been distinguished on many occasions f,r its Cot*: itu-
tional spirit, will not be tole last to come forwasd and
show its sentiments? We are not so debased, so far
degen:rated from the character of nur ance,tors, 411 to
show no energy, no fceling of regard for the person of
our King, no gratitude to GOD fs.ir our emancipation
;tom the thraldom of papal t)ranny--(TremendOus

Mr. R. Senowen attemrtel to address she Meeting,
bat he was scarcely audible in any part of his speech.
The CHAIRMAN, addressing tie Meeting, hoped the
tumult w3uld be quelled, as Mr. Spooner was satisfied
their voice W4s against him.

Mr. SPOONER begged the Chairman's pardon. He
had &tided against him, and he (Mr. Spconer) knew
too w. It what was his public duty tint to impugn such
a decision. He should therefore ,etiie.

The Resolutions were then passed.
The Rev. Mt.-lIAVERGALL, fif Stoisrpor% then pro.

was given in the mn,t deafening manner. •

CA T EX.OW A SWIM Ag.w.,
Tuesday, after some prvious business had been
*through,. Mr. O'CoNtesatk rroceeded to read ti.e
low:ng letter. taws:lira to• the Secretary triy Mr.
Mac Donnell:

" lAndon, Nov 18.

" My dear Friend—The luill.pendlale duty devolves on me. as
Secretary to the British Catholic Association, of applying to you,
as Agent to the Irish Catholics, to know under what strange mis-
conception of circumstances it is, that the conduct of ibe British
Catholic Association has been so severely animadverted upon in a
recent meeting or the Association in Dublin.

" You have viewed our conduct closely—you have been in inti-
mate connection with us, and you can best say whether we have
merited one particle of those seem implications that have been
profusely lavished upon us.
" If it be blameable to hold that it is inexpedient to reject ALF.
conditions before any are tendered, in so far we plead guilty.—
(Mr. ('Connell—And guilty they are—but be should proceed
without further observation or comment until he had concluded
reading it)—and from those who differ with us wr claim a right,
which we most willingly concede—that of enjoying our opinion.
" In union not only with every member of the ['thigh Catholic
Association, but with every friend to the lilwrties of mankind, I
beg to express an anxious hope that no difference may arise between
its to weaken our united exertions in a common cause against a
common enemy.

" I am, my dear friend, much yours,
"EDWARD BLOUNT.

" To P.oeas Mae Donnell, Esq."

Mr. O'CONNELL then proceeded—Mr. Blount com-
pl .ins of sevese animadversions upon hum, and that they
were misapplied; but Mr. Blount complained without
cause. Now the British Catholic Associati-n committed
a most gross and scandalous blunder. They have re-
solved. to petition fir total and unqualified Emancipa-
tion, while their Secretary pr fosses that he is ready to
receive conditions. Mr. Biour.t admits tlOs. He (Mr.
O'Connell) arraigned this principle. It seas acting most
basely, most treacherously, towards the Cathy l!c body
i.t Ireland; for the moment the British Catholic Mso-
ciaoon avowed the principle cf admitting securities, they
at the same time admitted that there would he danger
to the Constitution in conceding Emancipato n. Now he
(Mr. O'Connell) publicly declared, that if be considered
Lt hat Emancipation involved danger to the Constitution,
he would give up' the que.tien for ever ; but a hen he
knew, that, on the contrary, there was secntity to the
State in granting Emancipation, and insecurity alone in
withholding it, he accused Mr. Blount, and all those
wlm sanctioned his view s, r f the grossest and basest
treachery to them. This conduct was base in antither
point of view ; the British Catholic Association knew
that they (the Irish Catholics) only claim Emancipation
en this ground—that all are entat',.;cl to worship GOD
as their conscience may dictate—Protestant, Alethodist.
and every class of Dissenters whatever, and that
the Catholic p,,ssesses, nor claims to possess, no right
or privilege whatever, but what he was most ready
to concede to others. He would now gave notice
for that day week, that should the Secretary of
the British Catholic Association persist in these his
pre ei.t !opinions, Mr. Mac Donnell be instructed to quit
the British Association umil it disavow the sentiments
of Mr. Blount, as their Secretary. Ile tespected Mr.
Blount as a Gebtlemao, but if these be his sentiments.
and those of the body whose Sect etary he is, the sooner
they sever themavlves from them the better. Mr. O'Con-
nell concluded by giving notice that he would, at tl e
next Meeting, move thE Mr. Mac Donnell be instituted
to attend the next Meeting of the British Catholics., and
call tWen them for rt resolution, negative or col ama-
tory of the subject in question, and the ;milt should•de-
cide their (the Irish Catholic Association's) future con-
duct towards Mem.
