I A ISH CATHOLICS.

We have this day received Dublin papers of Satur.
day last. The Dublin Evening Post contains the fol.
lowing account of the proceedings of the Catholics :

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 7.

The Meeting to be held in Cart iw, will, we are
happy to say, have the support of many enlightened
Prinestants. This meeting will he held on the 19th.
It is the-duty of every man who values Liberty and
the Constitution, to stand forward in this important
crisis of Ireland's fate.

Southwell, Sir Edward Pellew,Bart. Richard Strange,

veral other gentlemen of rank and fortune.

and Fermanagh on Monday nett.
There are only two parishes in Dublin which have
not met, and one of them is to assemble on Monday,
in Rosemary-lane Chapel.
Requisitions are signing to convene the Counties
of Dublin and Wicklow.

Siam CATnoue MEETING.—A most respectable
and numerous Meeting of the Catholics of the county
of Sligo, was held in that town on Monday List.-•-•
IGNATIUS EVEitARD, Esq. being called to the Chair,
the business WAS opened in a suitable speech, by DA..
NIZI, JONES, Esq. who concluded by moving several
Resolutions—they were seconded by Dr. COYNE, of
Sligo, who addressed the Meeting to the following
effect :—‘, in presenting myself to second these Re-
solutions, !rom the unanimity that exists, it might ap-
pear superfluous to offer any comment or observation t
but I cannot dismiss the subject without remarking
that they meet my warm approbation, and, I doubt
not, that of every person present, anasmuch as they
are not the mere echo of those of any county that pre-
ceded us in their meetings, and also, as the language
is decorous, though manly—firm, but tonstitutional s
but chiefly because it is liberal. I would wish to call
the attention of those Gentlemen now assembled,
more particularly to the fourth Resolution, as you
have just now heard from Mr. Daniel Jones. It ap-
pears peculiarly well calculated to obviate those ca.
litinnies that have been circulated by our enemies with
so much industry, and it is, I may say, in itself an
avowal of our political creed. You must all know,
Gentlemen, what pains have been taken to propagate
a report equally unfounded and malicious, that, meet-
ing to petition for Catholic Emancipation, is made a
pretext to meet, to forward the views of seditious per-
sons, or to aid that Tyrant, who is equally the enemy
of us Tyrant, I say, whose heart is as hard as
his abilities are transcendent, and who seems deter-
mined to break down, with the iron mace of despo-
tism, the barriers of justice—to crush the charities of
social life, and trample down the liberty of mankind.
Should it be written in the Decrees of PROVIDENCE)
that he should ever land on our shores. I have no
doubt the valour and patriotism of our Catholic coun-
trymen will, upon that day, appear as conspictwus as
their firmness and mode i ation. do upon the present oc.
casion." Dr. Coyne, after a few other observations,
concluded by seconding the Resolutions, which were
unanimously agreed to.

By letters received at Plymouth from the PIERCER
sun-brig, dated off ISourdeaux, we learn that she fell
in with an American brig off that poit. On boarditig
her she proved to be bound to New York, and no doubt
is entertained of her cargo being entirely French pro
perty ; it con.; ,ts of brandies, several cases of dollars
in bulk; and several cases of French gold watches.
It is supposed she will be condemned for breiCh of
blockade.

. NAVAL INTELLIGIVICE.
The MANLY gust-brig, which sailed firm the Nore
the 19th ult. with a fleet for the Baltic, in company
with the FLAMER gun-brig, was taken on her return
to England by three Danish brigs. She had seen the
fleet safe into the Sleeve, and left them under charge
of the Ragan. The CHANTICLEER SIOOp of war is
arrived at Sheerness, with some damage, and seven of
her crew wounded,having heenattacked by the enemy.
She bad seen the fleet which sailed under her convoy
from the Humber 23d ult. into the Sleeve, and left
them in chirge also of the FLAMER.
