CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

At a Meeting of the Catholic Association in Dublin, on
Saturday het, Mr. O'Gorman said that he would take
that opportunity of reiterating what he said before, which
was his unqualified contradiction of the language attri-
buted to him in one of the Dublin Morning Papers. The
error was one that an accurate Reporter might have fallen
into; nothing appeared but what he dill say, but by
a condensation of the entire, the sense was mato-t-
-ally altered. By that report it would appear,
that he had all as one as called the people to
arms. He was made to say, that the Parlistnent b
joined the Orangemen, and that the People should
join and resist them ; that report was totally false.—
Mr. O'Connell gave notice of a motion of thanks to
Mr. Brougham, which he intended to bring forward;
if it was competent for him to move it, then, he would t
they had found the an they wanted. Mr. Brougham
bad talent to support, and zeal to bring forward a Peti-
tion against any grievance. He was a fearless and an
honest advocate, and his talent commanded the attention
of the House.
. . .

Mr. F. W. Conway read the draft of an Address from
the Association to the people of Ireland.
Mr. Shiel thought it required revision.
Mr. Luke Plunket commented on it, after which it
was mr red and carried, that it should be referred to the
Committee, and that they should report on Wednesday.
Mr. O'Connell said that he would have the draft of a
Petition on the Church Rates ready in a few days. He
commented in strong language on the grievance occa-
sioned by Tithes and Church Rates, and alluded to the
peculation of the Corporation, which amounted, be said,
to one million--be did not mean by the Pipe Water
alon►. It was the same detachment from the Board of
Aldermen that was perpetually to be found on the Grand
Jury. Even in the County there was not a Catholic ever
put on a Presenting Grand Jury.
Mr. Eneas M'Uonnell could not approve of this de-
termination to occupy the Association with Petitions or
Motions on subjects of such a nature.
The Meeting then adjourned to Wednesday, to receive
the report of the Committee on the address to the people
of Ireland.

AND StioN.
A
Paris papers have arrived to the 7th inst. They con.
tain intelligence from Cadiz to the 24th of June, which
informs us that the army of General Lopez bad arrived
safely at that porton the 22d, and landed 2,500 men, the
cavalry having been sent to the Fourth Army. Thi
Marquess of Casteldosrini remained in Eatramadura with
2,000 infantry. General Ballasteros was appointed Com;
mander.in-Chief of the Isle of Leone and the celebrated
Riego was placed next to him in commands bring the
first time that lie has been called into military service
since the invasion of the Peninsula. The force in the Isle
of Leon, exclusive of the garrison of Cadiz, consisted of
10,000 men of different corps, the organization of which
was to be confided solely to Generals who bad taken too
decisive a part in favour of the Constitution to allow any
doubts to be entertained of their fidelity. Notwithstand:
ing the assertions of the enemy that all communications
by sea and laud with Cadiz were cut off. a convoy had
arrived on the 21st from Seville, under the protection of
a gun-boat, and several boats laden with flour, together
with a steam-boat, had subsequently reached the same port
from the same cityelt seeurs,in fact, that even after the re-
treat of Lopez Banos, the French bad not occupied Se-
ville in force, otherwise no convoys could have sailed to
, carry provisions.to Cadiz. The reason of this forbearance
is, probably, their Weakness ; for, according to an esti-
mate in the Bayonne papers, no fewer than 20,000 of their
troops are employed merely in keeping up the commu.
nication between the French frontiers and Ciudad Real
in La Mancha, besides 4,300 of the army of the Faith.—
The Moniteur of the fith, contains a Report from General
Guilleminpt detailing some trifling skirmishes with
Guerillas, chiefly in Asturias, in whlich that Commander
claims as usual, the advantage for the French. The
Courier Francais, alluding to the Circular addressed by
the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the King of Spain to
the Spanish Diplomatic Agents at the different Courts,
which lately sppeared in the English papers, stales that
the present state of the Liberty of the Press in France
does not allow them to copy it. The Editor of the
Pilote has been sentenced to a month's imprisonment,
and a fine of 2,000 francs, and sixteen francs bye centimes
of costs, for copying from The Morning Chronicle the
Secret Treaty at Verona of the 2241 Nov. 1522.
