FRIENDS TO RELIGIOUS LIBRKIIt

Saturday a numerous meeting of the Medi
of Religious Liberty dined together at the Free.
masons Tavern. Lord Fit46AL, and the Dar:Tates
sent by the Catholics of Ireland to present their ad•
dress to the Prang RIEGUNT. bard beta invited on this
occasion. The Erni of Moen* Was in the chair.

After dinner " the Km," the PRCNCII R.WESIT."
and " the Quests, and the rest of the Royal Family,'
were drank with great applause.
The Chairman then gave as a toast " May a mu -
tuel respect for each idler's religious opinions he the-
firm foundation of Union and Harmony an:ong all
communions in this country!" This toast was draide
with enthusiastic app!
The twit toast was " The cause of Religions Li-
berty all over the world," which was 1-Iluve'ed he
Lang and repeated burs7s of applause.
The Earl of MOIRA then ruse, and observed, that
of all the functions which had develved on hint by the
honour that had been done him of placing him in
Chair, the t isk of the greatest difficulty and anti
to him was the necessity of aediog any observeti ins
of his teen to that sentiment, the bare men:ion of
which hid produced such loud and almost tumultu-
ous applause. To such a sentiment he feared tnat be
could find no words to do justice, and that the ob-
servations which he conceived it his duty to nuke-
mile not increase the impressiou already in their
minds. They were there assembled to celebrate
a memorable triumph which the cause of reli-
gious liberty hid lately gained, and which af.
forded strong hopes of being succeeded by fresh
triumphs, until :t complete recognition should be °b-
ullied of the right, the indefeasible right, of ever y man
in the United Kingdom to worship God in his yen
way, and eccnrding to his own conscience, with Out
being steijected to pains and penalties on of
his religious persuasion. No human power had a
right to come between the soul of man and his CUES.
eott, and dictate the homage that was to be p.:id ;
neither had any human power the right to indict
paies and penalties on any man for worshipping Gen
in the manner that he conceives m ,st pleasing to him.
He felt it necessary to preface by some obsess...titans
the toast which he intended to propose. The lowers,
with whose company they were then honoured. ha I
come over to this country as the reptesentetives
many millions of our fellow-subjects if the Roman
Catholic persuasion, who were Low excluded liens a
participation in the constitution of the et/teary. by the
existing laws. They naturally sought to have iles
great grievance redressed, and they felt it the more
severely as there was no other portion of his Majesty's
subjects who had shed more of their blond in the Ste.
fence of this country and its governntert than the
Catholics of Ireland. The people of Ireland, gem:-
rally speaking, worshipped Gou after the manner of
their forefathers, and far the greaser part of them
continued of the Catholic persuasion. For this alone
they had been visited with severe pains and penalties,
and are still excluded from a fair perticipaeen i • cite
Constitution. The removal of those penalties and
disabilities ender which they still lelsoured was the
object of the Address they had brow ht over. This
they demanded notes a boon, but as their birth-right ;
and for their jest rights they had been instructed to
offer to this country the cordial friendship and sup.
port of the Catholic population of Ireland, If the
Catholics of Ireland were firmly united in the bonds
of friendship, and by the ties of equal rights and clue'
interest with the rest of their knew subjects, this
United Kingdom (at it might then justly be called)
might laugh to scorn all menaces of the enemy, even
'should all the rest of Europe be tinder his controul.
It was highly grateful to every liberal mind to per-
ceive how fist the prejudices of ancient bigotry were
new dying away, and there was every reason to anti-
cipate the full and complete triumph of the cause of
religions liberty, which would bring with it lasting
harmony, and rreptual friendship and so/spoil from all
persuasions of the people. Atter some tither obser-
vations, his Lordship concluded byedrinkilig tit the
health of their guests, the Noblemen and Gentlemen •
who had been deputed topresent the Catholic Address,
which toast was received with the loudest aeplause.
Lord FINGAL, in a shat speech, remitted thanks
for the great honour which the meeting had done their
guests. He assured them, that the Catholics of Ire-
land did offer to this country their warmest ft iendship
and support, as the price cf what they conceived to
be their undoubted rights. They were as loyal and
as ready to shed their blood in the defence of the
country as any other portien of his Majeset 's subjects,
and conceived themselves entitled to equal rights and
privileges. He concluded by giving the health of Earl
Moira, which was drank with distinguished eppieuse.
Lord MOIRA declared, that no custom ti y form of
words suitable : common occasions could convey
his sense of the honour done him by drinking his
health with such melted applause. He should con-
tent himself, thereft re, with saying, that he teturned
them his most since re thanks.
The Chairman then ;cave the health of the Stewards.
Lord &resume; rose, as one of the Stewards, to
return thanks. He congratulated them and the court-
' try on the late triumphs in the House of Lords, and
hoped chat it would be the preface and prelude to
other triumphs still more important. This triumph
was obtained by the number of petitions presented,
and the union of serniment which pervaded all per-
suasions upon the subject. He thought that to se-
cure religious liberty, all the different religions should
remember the story of the bundle of sticks, wl.ich, when
united, could not be broken. If they continued united,
the cause of religious liberty must ultimately triumph.
He concluded by giving as a toast, ..a 'wig pull, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether."
The t RAHMAN then proposed the health of that
Nobleman- to whom the Catholics had entrusted their
petition, Lord Donoughniore.
Mr. C. Hteremesose in the absence of his brother
(who bad left the room from indisposition) returned
thanks, and said, that his Noble Relative had always
been a friend and supperter, trot merely of Catholic
Emancipation. but of Religious Toleration in general.
He bad supported the cause, when it was unfashiona-
ble, and even dangerous to support it ; and he was
well assured, that he would net swerve in his latter
years from what ha 1 been the principles of his youth.
Mr. Hutchineon then made minty observations on'the
justice of the cleials of the Catholics of Ireland.
• During the evening. there were many songs, and
the greatest herm—ony and conviviality prevaikd. Ths
