self. And, my Mends, is there not a cause tissit the
ministers of religion should take a part in proceedings
such as these? Do not all remember the execrable
denunciations of O'Connell—" We have broken down
those banners thyt there raised against us; we have
trampled upon their odious laws, and will destroy their
Church?' And is not that Church called upon to pro.
• tect and defend itself ? And is not this a :efficient rea-
son that we should leave our beloved retirement, and
the performance of cur parochial duties? What does
be mean by the Church ? Is it the body of &faith-
ful people holding the truth as it is in Jesus? and shall
wenot stand up in defence of that body for which Cams?
died ? I feel satisfied that the sacred flame which is
kindled in the hearts of my brethren, and animates
their souls, exceeds that which I myself experience.
Yet 4 am persuided, that I would not, for a single mo-
ment, place the temporalities and the petits-of our
Church in competition. I reckon that the one is not
worthy to be confounded with the other. But if the
Church was destroyed—if its establishments were razed
to the ground—if our tithes and our emoluments were
taken from us—what then ? Is there nothing, Gentle.
two, connected with this ? would this be effected with-
out any consequences? There are tithes and Church
lands—but are there no civic lands? and forfeited
lands? sad abbey lands? no lay impropriatioos ? no
Nobleman or layman in possessionof tithes? His Lord-
ship of Rossmore, he who is so liberal, such a lover of
Protestants, so kind a conciliator, has be no share of
tithes? and in a wretched spirit, in a worse taste, did
be not last week look alter those tithes? Yes, be had
the hardened front to go to Glaslough, and, in the very
domain of Mr. Leslie, traffic for his share of these tithes
..(Loudobeers). Oh, yes, I grant that the Ministers of
the Established Church would be the very first to be
stripped of their possessions; but when we lay. prostrate.
we would secure only stepping stones to raise the Popish
Faction to that eminence from whence they would be
able to gain possession of Ireland in its entire extent.
But there is another motive which engages.us to unite
in the objects for which you are assembled this day: it
is the alarming situation of the country. Its state is
indeed awful; and it has been already so eloquently
described, that I nred not attempt to add to the impres.
&ion which has been made upon you; but Imlay be
pounitud to advert for a moment to the causes which
prodoeed this lamentable state.
Previously to the Meeting separating, T. S. CORRY,
Esq. in a speech of uncommon brilliantly, moved the
thanks of the Meetiag.to Eeelya John Shiflett Esq for
his uniform support of the Constitution in Church and
State. kis almost seedless to say, tbattbe resolution
was car riesl-without a single dissentient voila,.
We regret that the great I -wh to which the Report
bas run prevents us from gbribg MCorry's speech.
Brfore Cohabit Lamas left the Chair, there were
thee cheers for Protestant ascendancy+ three cheers for
Sir Harcourt Lees, and one cheer mote for Mr. Grey.

The Fienchlournals which arrived-test 'sight con-
tain no intelligence of importance from the theatre of
leer in the East. It is merely stated in tbe Journal des
Deist* that Bulletins from Varna of so late a date as
the 23d of September bad been retained in doe course,
but that no important feint was annoneeed. The only
material fact, which bad.receited full confirnsetioe, was
the retrograde movement of the Grand Russian Army
from &Womb' upon Bazarcljik ; but with respect to the
cirsamatesces connected with that important event, or
the effect likely to be produced by it npon,the opera-
tions before Varna, the most profound silence continues
to be observed.

According to .a
letter from Bayonne, it is reported
that the yellow fever bas appeared at Seville, and that
the troops from Cadiz had suspended their march, to
forms cordon round that city. This last part of the
intelligence seems very improbable. The, forming a
cordon round a city suffering under an epidemic seems
io *itch* matter of internal police, that it is not very
likely the French would think of Suspending their

We OTC given in our pleceding columns an ab-
stracted Report (which from our limited space weave
