On the other harp% rir Dublin 3foiming Post of

We insert in thisdayli Paper, an rifteial vo;ri nt.
the Relief Bill, as it his bee* ante:Weil in the Com-
mittee ; we hive been inforased upon good authority,
that the oaths set forth in this Bill, as they are now
frametl, may he safely taken by the Catholic Clergy.
This is a great point gained; and it sheers the iris torn
of delaying to pronounce an opinion, either of Clergy
or Laity, until Loth Bills had passed the Committee :
and it shews further, the folly and precipitation of
those who stand forth to combat what may be, after al.',
a nonentity.
" Under this view of the case, we do not well see.
boat. the Catholic Clorgy, who are to meet this day,
can collie to any di a ision until o.e amended Bills are
both before them. It appears t., us that the Bill to re-
gulate the Intercutir•e with the See of Rome is revs,
easily susceptible of such amendments as would
render it perfectly unobjectionable. Were this
dose, nothing could ren:ain which could cause a

catholicise the youth of the College by the exertion
of any undue influence. If the Maynooth College
were now about to toe established, ati 1 that the

the Crown upon the appointment of the Presijent, and
that it were now fur the first time proposed to appoirt
the Great Officers of State a icifors, with Acta powers
as we know they posse's, and that Mr. O'Cumtel was
to hear of this cm cirettit, we should hive three or

Such is the interest that prevails at present re•prct-
•ing the fate of Italy, that it baring been understood
yesterday afternoon thst Sir Hobert Wilson hstl re
ceived a communication, from Naple., he o•.a soon
surrounded when he entere.l the Plante of e•rnotons
by the Members present, to attoertain the news. The
gallant Urnrrtl arcoiJinirlt• read a letter hr had re-
ceived. ihe letter appeared to be short, but to hare
afforded satisfaction.

The news from the North of ltalv lex& to a confi-
dent expectation that the Austrian, will soon be

their strong plates in Lombardy, excepting Mantilla.
from Which they have deemed It prudent to
remove the Vice Keret Court, and every thin:, of
value, is only about fifteen miles front some of the
Piedmontese fortresses. There islittle tlught that
the Piedmontese, as soon as they are in a condWqn to
do so, will enter the Milvnese. Titer they have not
yet moved is easily accounted for. The late Govern-
ment was in the interest of the Atixtri.ans, the effbrts
of the people have hitherto been directed to the over-
throw of that Government, and they mast hare tier
to make suitable preparationas—‘lo.otfaiiillte
in order to carry on hostilities with any advantage.—
Letters front Turin state, that the number of experi-
enced eves teciers who bad arrived theft from Franef,,
was so great, that the Regent's means amen insufficient
for the affording adequate employment fair them. It
was understood, however, that a finisher. of these offi-
cers would be advantageously epiplit'yeti in dissipliqine
the militia, so that the OQV., !Mein ireeld.thereh;

Letters from Geneva state thiat the late events in
Piedmont have proJeced universal satisfaction in the
western Swiss Cantons, the trade of which suffered ex-
tremely from the prohibitory system advtod by the
Sardinian Government with respect to foreign mer-
chandise. The inhabitants of Savoy having bees •
