is doing so, rescue the whole empire from the baleful
cbssequences of suffering the disaffected to pursue their
essonbtilutioaal projects unopposed.
These letters are calculated to rouse the public mind
in Great Britain to a true sense of the present critical
state of Ireland; and to hasten the adoption is the pro-
per.querter of such interference as may be sufficient to
rescue the iohabitants of chit island from i body of
men, whose assumption of illegal power has ao para.
In in the history of Ibis country, and whose esurpatios

of all other authority.
To you, my Lord Kenyon, we have most sincerely
to offer our gratitude, as well for the excellent matter
so impressively stated in your two letters, as for your
Lordship twang been the first to lead the way upon
this occasion.

With that portion of your Grace's letter we entirely
concur which states, that although the King's Govern.

leave to quote the representation given by a Member
of the present Government, Mr. Dome, in his late
speech to the citizens of Deny, u plainly showing that
the Government is itself conscious of the necessity of
some extraordinary interference in its support. Mr.
Dawson says—" The pease of Ireland depends not
upon the Government. but upon the dictation of the
Catholic Association; it has defied the Government and
trampled upon the law of the land.° He states in te-
pees' terms that o it depends upon the Catholic Asses.

the landlords are to be robbed of their rents or not"—.

It must be remembered that these are the words of a
person who is not only a member of the present Go.

inferior in knowledge and is confidence to a Cabins,
Councillor—and although we by an means admit that
the representation given above is, in all respects, core
rect, bat are convinced that the Protestant feebng. and
the power of those who are willing to uphold the Can•
stitution io Church and State in this part of the empito•
are very much underrated—yet it cannot but be evi-
dent. from this humiliating confession by a member of
his Majesty's Government, as well as from what is daily
passing before our own eyes, that the danger is imp!.
neat, and that the period is now arrived when (as is ,
truly observed in your Grace's letter), o we must decide
whether we will range ourselves with Protestants or
with Papists."
Under these impressions, my Lords?, and associated
as we are for the purpose of expres.ing our fires and
unshaken attachment to the Protestant Constitution of
these realms in Church and State, sod resisting the open
efforts now making for its subversion, we beg leave to
express the high value we set on your manly and ex-
cellent letters, to assure you of our gratitude for yOur
public spirited exertions in the cause r f the Constitu•

power, to co-operate with your Lordships in whatever
may teed to presetve inviolate that dearest birthright
of a Briton.

LIMERICK BRUNSWICK CLUB.
At one o'clock this day. there assembled at Swim-
burne's Geese Room, in Brunswick-greet, as large and
with truth we can add, as respectable and independent:
a public meeting as ever it became oar lot to attend in
the course of our professional duties. The object was
to form a Brunswick Constitutional Club for the Comity.'
and City of Limerick. The muster of Country ties.
times' on this occasion was very considerable, and they
undoubtedly included some of the first in the country,
for character, ranJc, and fortune, besides several Cler'
gymea.
The Right Hon. Lord Masse, of Hermitage, was
called by acclamation to the'chair. This excellent No.
bleman immediately rose, and addressed the assembly in
concise and elegant language," but which the crowded
state of the ,room prevented our catching so fully as it
deli/med. He thanked the meeting for the honour con-
ferred oa him. and be could not but feel highly pleased
indeed at seeing one so numerous and respectable. At
the same moment he must not avoid expressing his
regret at the gloomy aspect of the politicaLcondition
of this country,, which had rendered it necessary to

fellow-countrymen in other parts of the kingdom. which °-
