"I have very reluctantly sent fat two !sloelions. We might
have dispensed with than. but certainly the effect of their arrival
simultanceasly at Belfast and Waterford will lie good ; and I hope
and believe that I seed not *sweep* you for soother man."
0,1 tne 11th October I again wrote to the Duke of
Wellington—
• I shall 'take a•inyself the respoosibility of arresting Mr.
Lawless on Tbory. if I do not hear freak yees-by that day."
I have read this to show the talselsond of those who
have accused sue with hevii;g fostered the Association.
It now, my Lords, becomes my duty to explain to your
Lordships what were the
,real motives of my recall,
which, I believe. .bas not yet appeared. u hits been
supposed, and very erroneoosly, that. my recall tosk
place m consequence of a letter written, by me to-Dr.
Curtis—the Most Reverend Dr. Cuttii,-(a fatted)),
but such is not the case. Of this *I am furnished
ails ample proof. •he 1 can, by adeerting to dates
and facts,. easily show your Lordships that my
recall could not have been owing to that circumstance.
On.the 23d of. the month I received a letter Isom that
itevereaPrelate, enclaising Due which he'hwi 'recAived
horn the Nitble.psite at she bead of the King's Govern-
ment. This letter 1 answered instanttrun receiving it ;
but owing to alerrat reef, of business. my
.Secretary
was not able to copy it, and it did not leave Deblin
until the 24th ; consequ oily it could not have reached
thogheda till the 25th. Now, If Dr.t‘u•tis had sent
a copy, ci that letter direct tolisMajistY's Government,
it could nit po,sibly have reached until die 28. h ; but
St happened that the Noble Duke. teary, recalling
me from Ireland, was dated the 28th, anti I have since
ascertained that the Noble Duka. ha:l no vim niunication
with hisMajesty'sGovernment on that day:lbis sill make
it sufficiently clear to your Lorcihips that my letter to
Dr. Curtis had nothing whatever to do my recall
from Ireland, neither had the line pf policy which I
pursued while there; for the policy which I pursued
with, I may almost say, an inconvenient z •al, wa, that
very policy which his Miesty's Ministers have them-
, selves so happily adopted. Neither, then, was that •
the cause of my recall trim the head ol she Government
in Ireland. nor was my letter to she Rev. Prelate to *hors
I nave alluded. We must, then, look to some other cape.
It would appear that my recall began on the 11th of Nov.
when I recrivkd correspondence from the Noble
Duke, and ended on the 24th. 1 beg leaire to sly that
1 have the highest authority, permitting me to lead
those letters that transpired upon the ecce,io.:, as Hell
as any others which I may think necessary tor my jus-
tification; and when 1 stated to his Mcjes y that there
%sere passages in those letters irk, which his 'Royal name
had been introduced, his Majesty, with that magnani-
mity which is so natural to him, waived all objections,
and stated that the public already knew his sentiments.
The first letter-I received from the Noble Duke was
dated the 11th of November. It was as inflows:

expected, and preparations were made by the High Mena, and by -
other Magistrates, to prevent it, or to mitigate its evil ceasequences,
decorated wt h green ribbons known to be the Maignia of an order
establiahed by the Roman Cathol.e Asiociation, and tullowesi by a
mob. Mr. o•Gornian Mahon is stated to have held language to the
Officer commanding the traps in Ennis that day, in presence of the '
troops, in respect to the conduct of the High Sheriff for bringing
those troops to Ennis, which appears, to say the least of it, quite in.
comstent with discretion or soy sense of propriety; and as these
facts appeal to be alleged not only by the High Sheriff, but by aft.
teen Magistrate., who were that day present ass Ennis, and sioce.m
iwe understand upon oath, by the Officer amststanding the traps, I
most say that, although these Gentlemen pos-ibly have- not been
godly of soy crime for which they eats be indicted in a Court of
Law with the prospect tit conviction and puniahment, they have, in
their conduct upon this occasion, manifested such a disposition to
