'lllO5l TILE HAAIPSHIRE TELEGRAPH, NOV. 15.
Tire Champion, 18 guns, Commander George Delene,
arrived on Thursday from the East India station; having
been four years and a half in commission. • She lett
Admirol Gage in the Java frigate, with the Paadota,
18, Commander Jervoise, and Satellite, 18, Commander
Laws, at Pulo Penang, on the 15th el June; the Suc-
cess ftlgate was at Madras; the Rainbow frigate at i
New South Wales; and Hind, 20 guns, at Malacca.—
All tbe,ships were healthy, although the Indian Conti-
nent was much sill cted with cholera. Affairs were in
general quietude. The Burmans had"aiJ up- all their
stipulated penalty; and their neighbours, the S amese
and Malays, weleinclined to be at peace with them.
The Champion was at the Isle of France in the first
week io August, at which time Lord John Churchill
was waiting to convey his Excellency Governor Sir
Lowry Cole, in the Tweed frigate, to the Care of Gond
Hope. Licwenants E. E. Gray and Edward Seymour
cau.e passengers in the Champion. Information had
been received at the Mauritius that the •Unclani,ted
frigate, Captain Clifford, with the new Governor Gene-
ral, Lord W. C. Bentinck, on board, had safely arrived
at
,Madras. It is.consolawry to find that none of the
late arrivals from the southward of the Line have seen
or heard anything of pirate vessels.
The Alligator, 28, under the command of Lieutenant
Newell, arrived this morning from Madeira, last from
Plymouth, having on board the body of Captain Can-
ning; no instructions respecting the interment of it are
as yet received from Lady Carning's family. The
Alligator brings home the British Consul Gleneral at
Madeira, H. Vitch, El. and family. When she sailed
all was quietly settled in the Island in favour of Don
MigutltAnd nothing le,s than his death or del.ositron,
it was clAsidered, would alter affairs there. An expe-
diti,n, composed of one line of battle ship, two large
frigates, one corvette, and three transports, left Madena
on the 16th of Octrrber, to reduce Terceira, the inhabi-
tants of which were universally in favour of Dorabliguel,
whilst the garrison, it was understood, was fully deter-
mined to hold the I land in behalf of Don Pedro. Tte
troops of the squadron could, however, laud at all
titne, and were in force sufficient to reduce the Patriots.
The Badger, 10, Commander Crowdy, was at Terceira;
the Cordelia, 10, Commander Boyle, had passed Ma-
dera; for the purpose of cruising off Teueriffep its search
of pirates.
The Melville, 74 guns, Captain H. Hill, at this post,
was or. Thursday ordered to fit for sea, and to take
tro.rps on board. An express was immediately sent to
Captain Min. ay, the Commandant of the Blockade
bet vice at Newhaven, for a supply of seamen, who may
be exrected to-night. She bent sails yesterday, and will
go out of harbour on Monday. She embarks strong
detachments of the 28d and 42d Regiments, and will
proceed to Gibraltar, where she will most probably,
remain, w ith the tr .opt on board, to be lauded, if re-'
quisire, and to assist in the necessary water goat d, during
the distressing sickness and fever which prevail in that
important garrison. It is said theyVarspite, of 74 guns,
Captain W. Parker, at Plymouth, with the crew of the
Britannia turned over to her, will take on board 500
troops, and proceed on the tame service.. These ships
take with them all their guys, and will, of course, be
efficient to act as a reinforcement to Sir Pulteney Mal-
.coltn's fleet, should an augmentation be necessary.
We have a large fleet of outward bound and coasters
at the Motherbank,with the following homeward bound,
which bore up yesterday, blowing strong from the
south east, all bound xo London.

PEW ES 1 ANT CONSTITUTIONAL DINNER
AT RADISGATE.
A Public Dinner took place on Friday list, the 14th
inst. at the Albion Hotel, Ramsgate,m hich was attended
much more numetously than any one weever remember
in that town, so great was the anxiety almost unani-
mously felt to testify the attachment of the inhabitants
to the Protestant Consitution of these, realms. Sir T.'
GREY presided with his usual abilly. His Grace the
Duke of Newcastle, the EEil of Wit.chilsea, the Hon.
Captain Fleetwood Ps new, R. N. Sir Edward Knatch-
bull, Bart. M.P. and SiiWilliamCuttis, Batt. honoured
the company with their presence. Dinner was announced
about six o'clock, at rthich time the noble and distin-
guished strangers.w ere received by the inhabitants with
loud' cheetings as they pasted up the rcom to take their
teats at the Table. A rpm Excellent dinner was pro-
vided by Mrs. Bear, to which Sir W. Curtis had very
kindly contributed two turtles, and the Duke of New-
castle
presented tome remarkably fine pine apples'
Upwards of 150 • f the most resiectitle inliabi.
tants, and several Gentlemen lion) the neghbourhood,
sat dos nto table. When the cloth was removed the
Chair man gave—
" Our Protestant and Fatriot King ; long may he reign over a
Protestant free and prosperous people."

Constitution."
" The. Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Ministers. May

triumphant in commandirg the armies of the State."
" The Navy and Army."
Song—? Rule Britannia."
The Lord Lieutenant of the County, the Marquis Camden."
On giving this toa.t the Chairman observed, that
although the company present differed from the Noble
Marquis.on the subject on which they had met this day.
still, as he well knew the great respect they generally
entertained for that distinguished Nobleman, he was
convinced that that difference of opinion would
not prevent their testifying their regard for him by
btimpers and cheers.
Long cyntinued cheers proved that the Chairman
was not mistaken.

t: •

" The Lord Warden of the Cinque Pon, the Earl of Liver.
pool, whose ability in guiding the Councils of the State demands
our gratitude, wbOie unfenced illness we deplore, and whose me-
mory vse respect."
" The High Sheriff of the County."
" The Earl of Winchilbea, and the Men of Kent."—(Cheering).
The Nonoe Loan rose to return thanks for the cum•
pliment just paid him, stating his satisfaction at meeting
so large and respectable a body of tieeholders united
in a cause in which he telt such was in intetest. boubt-
Irss many persons considered that he had an object \in
view in the part belied lately taken, in supporting the
Plutestan't cause; but he begged to decline most un-
equivocally, that he had no i ther motive than that of
puttlicly uttering his sentiments on a subject which be
felt tobe of such' vital importance. From the time when
he began to take part in public affairs, he had given
utterance to his opinions boldly and fearlessly, and
considered that the moment was arrived when every
man who valued the excellent Constitution of this
country ought to.do the sane. Many had objected to
the Meeting at Penenden Heath he, for one, hoped
that similar Meetings wnuld take place in every county.
that the. Government might hear the sentiments of the
people of England bone t.ne end to the other, and let
us remain free from Popery, priesteraft, and bigotry.
We hail received ai Piotestaut Con titution from our
ancestors, and it was our duty to transmit the same to
posterity, sacred and inviolve. The Noble Lord went
on at sume length in an eloquent s;:eech, delivered with
great animation, which our limits will not allow us to
detail, and concluded by as.uring the company that he
was fully sensible uf tote kittens, done him, and should
long bear it in remembrance.-00 sitting down, his
Lordship was again most loudly cheered for sonic con-
siderable time. . .
Song—" The Men of Kent."
. 0 Sir F.dward Knatchbiall, oar loyal and constitutional repre-
sentative"—(Cheers).
When the cheering had subsided,
Sir EDWARD KNATCHiIbI.t. rose, and said, my Lore's
and Lientlethen, to say that at this moment I am ove•-
come with your kindness in the vety wain] expressio. s
of regarJ with which you have just chunk my health,
would but faintlyconvey how sensibly I reel it. I is t
words to express how much I am gratified at meeting.
and being surrounded by so nurnercus a body of stry
friends, with many of whom I have been in habit, of
friendship from my early youth, and from the suripott
I have received Isom them at different t.rnes, 1 flitter
myself that my political ciinduct has met with their
approbation—(Long and loud cher' ing). Dui ing the
long connection which has existed between.my family
and the county, theFreeholiers of Rainsgate have been'
among my warmest fliesids. I rejoice at this oppr.giu.
nity of seeing how closely your. sentiments ate in ac•
cot dance with my own on this important question, the
Catholic Claims. • The sentiments which I have always
deflected in my place in the House of Commons, are
the same as those, which L expressed on Penenden
Heath, and I now repeat them, viz. I would make
concessions to.the Roman Catholics if proper secutities
could be had, but until I am satisfied that such conces-
sions would not endanger the Protestant Establishment,
I will resist innovations, and to my utmost delend our
excellent Constitution from all the attacks daily making
upon her. The worthy llitonet sat down amidst long
continued c' eerings.
" Mr. Hammond, the Honorary Secretary of the Kent Bruns.
wick Club."
Mr. Haussonb, in a concise and gentlemanly
speech, desired to thank the Chairman and com-
pany for the honour done him. and to assure them that
his services were at the command of the county when
required ; he requested the favour of being allowed to
propose a toast, which he hoped the worthy Chairman
would permit him to do, and felt satisfied that the
company would receive it %lilt satisfaction; lie should
propose the health Sir William Curtis, Batt.—(Long
continued cheers, which having subsided),
The venerable BARONET rose to return thanks for the
kind manner in which his health had been pt °posed and
drank. He thanked them heartily for their kindness,
and congratulated his fellow townsmen on the numbe s
which had met on the occasion, to avow their attach-
ment to our Protestant Constitution, now that inroads
were daily making on her. For very many years he
had been one of the Representatives of. the Nation,
d ring which time he had the pleasure of voting with

the Member for Kent, Sit Eiward itnatelthull, anJ 1;i.

little fitted to attend to pUblit business; but while Irk
rr mained, he would lift up his vi ice to exhort the
country to ratty round our excellent Con tuition, and
dr fetid her from all attacks. Tire town of Ramsgate
had at all titres stood forward in loyalty to their King
and Constitution. He had come to the dinner tu.da)

BRUNSWICK CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB or IRF.LAND.

At a Meeting of the Committee, I•elti on Tuesday,
the .11th of November instant, the following 1 tier and
affidav,t were read

•' Dub!in, November 1, 18'28.

" SlR—Having had the pleasure of being present when you were
enrolled a Membir of the Corporation to which I have the honour
to belong (the weaver.), I have taken permission to acquaint you
with the following facts, which show the insidious and unfair
means resorted to, in order to compel Protestants to :.ffix their
signatures to the Declaration' in favour of Popery :
4, I have carried on the silk and tabinet manufacturing for
several years, and have endeavoured, by honest industry, to rear
large estd growing family. Amongst other customers, I was fa.
vowed wi:h the orders of a Roman Catholic, a Mr. O'Reilly, u
silk-piercer, residing in College-green, who was in the habit of
buying cabinets from me. When the goods are ordered by the
mercer, I generally send such goods to his warehouse for ihspec-
tion before the bargain is made. Having sent Mr. O'Reilly some
pieces of tabinet fur inspection, as usual, I called on him next day.
After the ordinary salutations bad passed, Mr. O'Reilly asked me.
Will you sign the Liberal Petition 7—showing me, at the same
moment, a Newspapr, contabling a Protestant declaration in
favour of emancipation, with the name of the Duke of Leinster
at the head of it. I answered, I will not ; I do not think it
prudent in me, as a trading man, to sign it.' Mrs. O'Reilly then
said, that if I did not sign the petition, I should never sell a yard
of goods in the house.' I replied, Madam, how would you like
to hear if I turned away some Roman Catholics whom I have in
my employment, who have families depending on their earnings?'
To this the Lady made no reply. I continued, but it is not in
the breasts of Protestants to retaliate in this way; I will not dis-
employ the Roman Catholics in my employment.' I left Mr.
O'Reilly's shop, declaring that if I never sold a yard of goods in
his house, until I signed the liberal Petition, it would be never, as
I was determined never to sign such a Petition contrary to my
conscientious opinion. Conformably to Mr. Ford's intended reap-
lotion at the Catholic Association, ,Alr. O'Reilly's threat was spee-
dily carried into effect, and my pieces of tabinet were returned to
me neat morning.
• " I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient bumble servant, .
