THE ,STATESMAN.

TRESDAY, JULY 17, 1810.
Fatwcn Papers and Letters to the 11th inst.
west; received yesterday. The French Estrum's.
has, at length, formally annexed the whole of the
kingdom of Holland to France. A Senates Con.
sultumi for this purpose, was agreed to on the 9th
instaist by the Senate, and on the 10th it received
the signature of BONAPARTE, nail was made pub.-
lie by his order. We have given this important
document, at length, in another part of this
paper. It is almost useless to offer any comment
upon this event, which may,. without any violence
of expression, be now deemed a COM3ION-PLACE,
transaction. It is not, however, to be treated so
lightly as some affect to do, so far as it concerns
this country. It is another, and a violent blow at
our remains of commerce. Letters from Am-
sterdam of the 13th state the unfortunate Lours
has loft Holland with great secrecy and precau.
tion. The circumstances are stated in this man-
ner : —On the evening preceding his departure
Loess supped with some friends, and on leaving
them, bade them very fffectionately fare Well.
He then went to bed, and, after taking two hours
rest, rose and retired quietly with his Aid-de-Camp
to a street behind the Palace, where a coach was
in waiting for them, and in which they drove off.
It was supposed that the coach proceeded on the
road to Devventer ; but even the direction which
it took had been far from positively ascertained.
No doubt, he goei with the good wishes of bis
late subjects ; and that 1,41 be a consolation to
wherever his retreat may bet or whate'ver his
fate.
ROMAN CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.
OM S.tturday, pursuant to notice, a General
Meeting of the Catholics of Ireland took place at
the Farming Repository, in Stephen's-green, when
Doctor Snattromr was called to the Chair.—Mr.
HAY, tiw secretary, read the Resolutions of the
last General Assembly ; and, upon the motion of
Doctor DaOMGOOLE, Mr. O'GORMAN proceeded
to report the nteasnres which had been adopted by
the Committee, and ended by proposing Retolut-,
tions, tending to pledge the Catholic Body to .1
Continued system of petitioning parliament for re.
dress of the grievances under which they suffered.
--The motion was opp;;-,e I by Mr. Klee'', and
an animated debate took place in' consequence,
during which, MOM. O'CONNOR, CLINCH, and
o?Cort NEL spoke with considerable effect. The
question of J lournment until the 2J of Novent.
tier, was forthwith proposed and carried, by which
'time the opinions of the Catholics of the several
Counties may be ascertained, and the propriety of
petitioning determined upon. In the interim the
former Committee arc to continue their usual
fuuctious.

A, Action was tried this morning, in. which
