RNEDIISII TESTAMENT.

At a Meeting of the Catholic Board in Dublin, on
Thursday last, M,. O'Cournix moved that a Commit-
tee sh”tild he aprinted to prepare a denunciation
of the lCheimish Notes ta the Bible, whiefi notes, he
t tided t,. prejudice the minds of the people of
England against the Catholic Emancipation. He
declared that although he was a Catholic from prin-
ciple, he would not ,emain one an hour longer, if he
thought it essential to the profession of that faith to
believe that it was lawful to murder Protestants, or
that faith might be innocently broken with heretics.
H.Avever, at the suggestion of several Gentlemen,
Mr. O'Coxsoa consented to withdraw his motion, and
it was agreed that a general exposition of the religi-
ous and political principles of the Irish Catholics
should be drawn up in the form of an Address or
Appeal to the Protestants of Great Britain.

DUTCH MAIL.
A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, from which
•
we give the following extracts:

BRUbSELS. DECEMBER I.
As soon as Mr. Las Casas with his son landed at

Ostend, he applied to the proper Authorities here for

permission to rema►n some days in this city. He im.
mediately came hither by the Diligence, and put up
at the White Cross. There he was waited for by an
Officer of the Police, who brought him into a room
that was prepared for him, and which he did not
leave during his stay here. Several French refugees
made endeavours to see him, but in vain. A report
has been spread that Mr. Las Casas had mentioned
several important particulars respecting the state of

the Island of St. Helena, and of the notorious pri.
unser diem. We believe, however, that we may
afsrni that during his stay in these provinces he was
extremely reserved upon the subject.
• Decennia S.—This morning very early General
. Baron tie Hogguer passed through this City, with
-dispatches, on his way from Paris to, the Hague. A
Russian Coutiet from Moscow lately passed through,
going with all possible speed to London. Several
-.French Refugees who were still in this city, have
lately left it.

We lean with pleasure, that in France, as well as
in this country, the prices of corn have fallen consi-
derably wiu►ia a !Jinn time. In the last Mil kcts of
Amiens And Arras, there was so large a supply, that
a very great quantity remained unsold. The Go-
vetnment has purchased there, upon advantageous
terms, a considerable quantity, to be deposited in the'
magAzines at bile.

MOM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, DECEMBER 3.
People have no doubt but the new law for the re-
cruiting sit the army, will be approved by the Cham-
bers. Toe Prefects of the Northern Departments
have, at least, already received the necessary orders
to prepare the lists of the young men who on the Ist
of January next will have attained their twentieth
year, that all the priliminuy steps to put the law into
immediate execution may be prepared. It is thought
that a number of officers on halt-pay will receive
commissions in the regiments designed for the Wu-
-hies ; and it is still asserted that the. Government has
not lust sight of the important colony of Stl Domingo.
