BRUNSIIICK CLUBS.

ROSCOMMON PROTESTANT MEETING.
PROM TIIR WARDER.
A numerous and highly distinguished Meeting of the
Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry, ioteiested in the peace
and prosperity of this County, took place on Friday in
the town of Roscommon, for the purpose of foi ming a
Brunswick Constitutional Club. If the Protestants have
been rather t srdy in Roscommon, in forming 4 defensive
union, they have now made ample amends by the calm
determination of their proceedings, which, as all im-
partial observers must admit, were actually forced upon
them by their inveterate, though unotiended enemies.
Tha Meeting was held in the New Court House. At
one o'clock the Chair was taken by the Right Hun.
Lord Viscount LORTON. Besides the Noble Chairman,
the Right Hon. Lord Castlemain, and a vast number
of Gentlemen of the highest respectability, attended ;
and the most flattering apologies for their absence were
received from Lord Clancarty, Sir Richard Sr. George,
Sir Hugh Crofton, and several other di tinguished cha-
racters. Owen Moyd, Esq. was appointed Secretary.
Lord LoaroN opened the proceeding in the following
speech:_" My Lord, Gentlemen, and Fellow•Protes
tants, it is, I feel, suite unnecessary to assure you of the
very great satisfaction it affords me to obey the call, so
unanimously made, for me to t.ke the Chair at thi•
important Meeting. In opening the business of the day,
it strikes me that it would be a needless loss of time
were I to commence with a detail of the principles upon

hensive of enrolling his name in them; and I feel satis-
fied they must evenivally be of the most material bene-
fit to every loyal Roman Catholic. Having said so
much, it becomes my duty to observe, that Brunswick
Clubs have originated in the constantly repeated meej-
ings of those persons wh6 are most anxiously working
to bring about a radical change in the glorious Bro.
tish Constitution ; arid who, in their efforts to effect
heir schemes, unhappily resort to the most extraor-
dinary means, which have excitel the strongest
party feelings, and have reduced this portion of the
empire to the -verge of rebellion—(Hear, hear).—The
most malignaht falsehoods ate propagated against
every thing that is Protestant ; and individual* (who
may be considered as devoted to their religion) are silt-
;led out for d e more particular vitu,seiation of the
i.a. ty. Amongst the number I have come in for my
share; and to such an extent have their falsehoods been
colic', that it would not stolid e me even if my own
Roman Catholic tenants (who on.ght to know me. well)
mere to consider it a heavy misfortune to live under
uch a biginted and overbearing landlord." His Lord-
ship then proceeded to state some gross misrepresenta-
tions which had been circulated respecting his conduct
and that of his Protestant friends, the *hole of which
were without even the shadow of foundation. " How-
ever, my Protestant friends (continued his Lordship)
notsiothstanding all this, let us avoid every harsh
expression, and let our motto be—Sue:viler in mock
red further in re; and then we shall have the Anis-
faction I f feeling_confident (with the blessing of the
ALMIGHTY) that we must succeed in preserving our
glorious Constitution inviolate; we shall also know
that our principles are diametrically opposite to
those of one of the most violent disturbers of Lep
land, who proves his suaviter irs mode, by dealing
out the most gross and cowardly abuse of persons be.

the most surprising forbearance, the gentle admonitions
of Messrs. Magrath and ethers, which have been ap-

having introduced such a person to your notice, as be
is much better calculated for the atmosphere of the

prevailed. My Protestant friends, I have detained you
longer than may have been necessary, and shall now be

ment on the present state of the Roman Catholic Que.-

The Rev. Mr. Unwrx addressed the Meeting, and
pointed out, in a clear and forcible manner, the 'recess
sity now existing, for all who reverenced our existing
institutions, and con.idered endangered by any
aceetsion of political power, granted to the Roman Ca-
tholics, to petition Parliament upon the suhjsct, and
concluded by moving—That a Petition be presented to
both Houses of Parliament, fraying that the Constiti.
tion in Church and State be plea rued the danger,
which threaten them.
The Rev. Dr. SLIATH seconded the motion.

The late period to which the festive meeting was
prolonged, prevents our doing the justice we could
wish to the interesting proceedings of the day. At a
crisis like the present, it was to be expected that the
great question which now agitates the country shosld
form the most pronsir.ent feature of the meeting, and it is
difficult to imagine a more decisive and brilliant display
of Pre•testant feeling than was exhibited on this occasion.
The two local Members present, Mr. Keck and Sir C.

the 14sLioaable ienovstioas of the day, and expressed

We have given in our preceding columns, intelli-

Bence from Lisbon to the Mt instant, for which we
are indebted to a Morning Contemporary. It appears
that Dun Mtcuet. b& met with a serious accident,
whilst proceeding, aciompanied by the Princesses his
sisters, frum Quelui to Caxias. The Bulletin issued
on the occasion st.tes, that the mules took ftigl,t, and

the carriage being overturneJ, bib MAJWITT had the
tai tortune to fracture his light thigh. The Ladies

INPANTAS also received, one a slight wound and con-
tusion on the frontal region, and the other a slight con-
tusion on Ilse thigh. At tl.e date of the lust Bulletin,
the Boyal Personages u ere proceeding favourably.

German kliors to the 19:11 were received this morn-
ing. It is staled in an article from Turin, that the
Russians were erforcing the blockade of the Dada.
Relies, and that they had already captured a number
of vessels, laden with corn, bound for Constantinople;
the consequence of this event was, a serious tumult
among the populace of the capital. These Papers
contain no recent intelligence from the theatre of war.
The following are extracts:
TURIN, Nov. 15.

A Rousso Journal announces, on the authority of private letters,
that the Russian ships employed in blockading the Dardanelles,
have already captured above twenty ships laden with corn, bound
for Constantinople, in which City this event has caused some
tumult among the populace.--Gowile Plnss•nlese, Nov. 15.

Letters from Otranto say, that fresh English troops had aniwed
in. Corfu ; it was not known whether they were to return or to
reinforce the garrison. They say alto, that Greek Commissionen

were expected at Nayarit). to receive possession of the fortresses left
by the Turks.

VIENNA, Nov. it
Arata, hitherto Spanish Ambassador at this Court, is gone
with his family to Naples.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 27.
Since the taking of Varna we kat very little from the theatre
of war. Onset Vrione and the Grand Vizier appear to remain

quiet behind the Kamtschili, while the Russians are busily engaged
in repairing the fortifications of Varna, lit order to secure that
place again,' a surprisi in winter. The chief attention of the Rus-
sians is now devoted to &lista', to which place the greater part of
the Russian trodps that were before Schumla have marched. The
position of the Russian. at Hu%iris now extends front Varna, by

Way of Ballardjilt and Kainardschl, to Silistria Tourtouks►,on the
right bank of the Danube ; to tbe west of that fortress, has been
occupied by the Russians.
Prince licherbatoff, who commanded the corpi besieging Silistria,
has been attacked by a severe illness. said to be a nervous fever.
General Langeron is gone ft•ns this place, to take the eonimarul In
his steed. It is still said that the Guards will go into winter quar-
ters about Tulcsin ; the cavalry, which has suffered severely
during this fatiguing campaign, will be stationed, it is said, hi Mol-
davia during the winter. We have just received news that the
Turks have abandoned their entrenchments at Kalafat, and retired
into an island an the Danube, before Waddin.
