conviction of my 'own inadequacy; and yet with your
powerfil and illustrious patronage-powerful not less
harm yew official dignity than horn your known seal
in.the objects of our Association, I cannot but be san-

so kindly shown your interest in the cause by naming
yr sr son aithe office of Secretary—an office on which
I,lll' oar success depends, and he with equal kind-

neat his accepted that important office. There is not
one, I am sure, of those who are present. who will not
'hearrily concur in the feeling that the Settlement could
:rot have supplied a man more admirably calculated
for the trait. His attainments both in Western and
Oriental learning are all, on record, and we need only
to mention the name of our Secretary to insure to our
Asiociation the confidence of the Parent Society, and
in give i..pledge to the world that we shall not be a
u-eless and inefficient body. The liberal promises of
Rappor t both in your 1 abbe and private capacity, which
you, Si;, have so k odly given, are guaranteed. by this
last appointment. and I am. sure that it will be as agree.
able to the S ,ciety in general as to myself.. On my
own part, allow me once more to thank you. for the ho-
nour of this selection, and to express toy rerlotion of
doing all in my power to perfect the. ateck which has
been placid in my hands.
Sir Gannon Wet.ina said that he had'obtained per-

acceptable to every one present—he meint the health
of the President of the Madras Society.

my most sincere thanks, ;Gentlemen, for the honour
yno have done me in thiukog my health. I beg to
drink 111 your healths in return, and I hope that in do.
log so I am drinking the healths of the Members f the
Madras Asiatic Society. It is also proper that I should
add, that the Governor has allowed the Bar queting
Roc no to be used as a place of Meeting for the Soci ty ;
and I would propose that our first Meeting for the put.
pose of serliog future proceedings should be held on
Thursday. the 7th anima. at 11 o'clrck.
It was accordingly ague', that a Meeting of the
Gentlemen then present should take place io the

One past of the Duke e f WELLINGTON'S Letter to
Dr. CURTIS might to be ad pled universally and reso-
lutely. It the agitation in which the question of
ciliation has been so long involved has prevented a lair
discussion cr it, by the pnple in general, all mete of
every political treed should labour to bring the public
mind to t temperate considerati n fit.- We 'are quite
certain that the more Calmly it is cane.essed, the
stronger nilt be the resolution to re.ist any further in-
VaqOu of the Constitution. But the -e discussions, if
conducted ag,reeably to the Noble Duke's rectimme seda-
tion, will with the Protestant confirm his opinions, and
weiken only, it I.e have felt tieem, his
.personal licistili.
tie,. To the measures su, ported by It mean Catholics,
his op, notion will continue, bi.t t, the men Who ad-
trocete them, the heat; though not the zeal at his
conscientious resistance se ill be ahated. But in Ire-
land, we must citify; no advantage h .s attended
an. inclination amoug Protestants to kmicable dis-
cussion. They have been goaded to a determined
defiance of their ooponents. When, for instance, the
charter toasts of Corporatioiss—the di essiog °file statue
of King Wtta.tssai—wind Prates ant processions, acne
given up, no peace- .05 gen. sous senti,ia ate on the pint
of the Ittomin .l atholic. attended t':e r condiit; In.
stead of this, they.,wete taunted with a change of shelf
That'
opinions. Thath, was the effect of nubler-genrso-
siiy. was stigmatized as the off•pring of fear; ,or poll•
tical tergiversation. It, therefore. they relax tietr
ertions at the present juncture, their desire to eifld to
the Duke's advice will bis, costumed into an abandon
men( of their principle', The first character which
their peaceful demeanour would receive at the Roman
Cetholic Association would be, that believing the
Duke favourable to Emancipation, they were running
with the current of the stream-that the
—Br unswickers,
bad setired from the field of contesti.and that the
voice not only of Roman Catholics had proclaimed the
necessity of Emancipaticas, bet the tame hostility—the
subdued resistance of the Protestants—were indications
of their weft consictio, of that necessity.
Nothing can more OtlOngly mark the feeling of Pro.
test Ants in Irel..nd, *SW the manner in which they have
acted since the recall of the Marquis of ANGLESET.—
Though they have highly and justly disapproved a.
the esciti ive plumage that Noble Lord hik univer-
sally eahihited to Roman Cstbolict, and Aire liberal
partr in bridled, tit co sniind r.f scj icing or• of vi..lcot

expressions has been heard' on the occasion. That they
rejoice that the Marquis has terminated hiss ministerial
functions, no doubt exists, But they can and do fee)
tbatbe his been made the dupe of a:depraved faction.
They can'distingui,h between the oplaiOns of the men
as a politician and his character as a soldier. His glo •
"ions reputation has shieldedlins from vituperation.—
His weak conduct has subjected him to censure. Here
then is an evident example how ansions the Protestants
are to comply with the Duke's wishes, for not even the
most violent of the Brunswick newspapers has uttered
we shout of triumph.
Yet what is the conduct of the opposite parts / • At
tkis very momen: Mr. Wise, a • leading and influential
"ember of the Association, has proposed an additional
link to the chain of mischief which that illegal body
-bas extended from one end of Ireland to the other. It
is now proposed that the Association shall have sent to
its meetings, by the liberal Clubs, a certain number of
reprereotatives, who shall disclose all the secset infor-
mation they can procure in their neighbourhood; end
having communicated at these visional meetings the
fullestinforination, shall return with fresh in.tructidni
from the,Association, to prey upon the peace and hap.
pines. of their surrounding neighbourhood.
This has been suggested for the adoption of die As
iodation in a long letter; written by Mr. Wiley.). Mr.
OVoastme, the Secretary to She Catholics of Irefand,
since the Duke's letter.; nay,.within these:three or four
days, for we have received this intelligence front out'
private correspondent.

Among the estiaordinary means which the
• •
Catholics' have adopted in Ireland; for the forthvance
of their views, is the system by which they•c(inwey in•
telligence from one end of the island to the other.—
Under the superintendence of one individual, 'skis is
effected. It may be necessary to explain the commit.
nications of our It ish correspondent upon this subject.
As the people of Leland, we mean the peasant tribe and
the humbler race of mechanics, are not able to travel
by the stage coaches. a species of vehicle unknown in
this country, is in universal use. These carriage' are
called jaunting cars. They are drawn by one horse,
and, rif course, the rate of travelling is very moderate.
These vehicles have hitherto been run but a few stages,
being generally conducted by persons unable to undo •
take the expenses of more distant journeys. But our
Correspondent observes, that there are now a regular
suite of cars, which tun from North to South and from
East to WI SC. The chief manager in this concern was,
a few years since, a pauper. He is a foreigner too—an
Italian. He travels from one end of the kingdom to
the other. He hitherto has not excited suspicion,
but latterly his journeys have been so fiequent,
and ttended with such suspicious- circumstances, that
At lest the am ntion of the public has been awakened.
He now is watched, and a keen eye is kept it; on his
mission, v hick, it is supposed, have a political character.
But will Protestavt. England believe it ? tot it is almost
beyond the belief of any loyal subject, that some of
the chief constables of the police, and many of the
policemen, being Boman Catholics, infnmation, in
many tmtances, cannot be obtained. When the officer*
of these police establishmeas attend Roman Cads- tic
Meetings, and Radical dinners, and meetings in It man
Catholic Chapels, what can be exiected irons them?
Yet such is the fact.

The conductor of these vehicles, and the Roman
Catholic Association, which, ins su! posed, support the
concern, can convey any intelligence they please trom
the mout.tains of Kerry to the tamed town of Detry.,
They pass thit'ugh every ins n in Its lsnd, in which a
Roman Catholic is in eve;y instance the ageal of the Pro..'
rictus.. Thus the edicts ut the Association can pass
15.19 the hands of the Points, and (tom them be divulged
.m.mg the insane crowd. The vigilance of the Post
Odi.e, and all its inquisitive offi,ers are avoid. d. A
coo.taut communicz ion is kept up, which no means can
r, tan d, unless a prohibition be placed upon these con-
weyaiices to bear parcels; These cars not any stage
c..ach, save his Majesty's mail, can convey letters. .13tit
the law is evaded, by the communications to whiih ae
hive alluded, being folded as parcel., and as such ey
pass without incurring any penalty. We hare thought
.1 our ditty to suggest thus much to the heads of the
ve,nment.
