The Assembly of 'icela of the kingdom of Myr.
cia, addresses tho Supreme Government in the fut.
lowing terms :

" Sta—The Assembly of this town, on rending the Mani-
festo of his Majesty, of the 2t/th of October, addressed to the
Spanish Nntioniannovneir.g the approaching Conviwation of
vise General Cartes, cannot suppress the exprosion of its sea-
timents ufadmiration and gratitude. or aissid returning the ar-
dent thanks of the districts it has the honour to represent.—
This measure, to a nation sickened and dispirited, may be
called the balsam of life, which in a moment has re-animated
tbe.whole system, even to the extremities of the social body.
It isaa eternal monument, recording the name of the Sove-
reign to future ages, and an example of heroic itencrosity,
which in distant Chars will awaken all the affectionate pas-
sions of posterity. Immortal glory be ascribed to those H-
-11.3.11,01 persons who know how to resign that power which
6 found to be incompetent to save the-nation, and w hien ap•
peals to that nation to adopt those, energetic ex pedieuts which
may preserve its liberties, and destroy its enemies."
After some further observations of the Assem-
bly, indicative of it 4 high approbVion of this re.
f.•rcncu to the wisdom and fortitude of the Spanish
people, it concludes as follows :...
• " The mode of• the Conveation and Election no doubt will
correspond with the sublime purpose. and all cusses of the
native. lo ill imitate so excellent a pattern.. The Goa of Jus-
tire will recompence yin*, assail the magnanimity of your vir-
tues, by your elevation to that lofty pinnacle of happiness,
which is the highest point to which human felicity can ascends
while our nature is confined to this earth. God preserve you,

cellency the Lord Archbishop Viceroy, desiring
to manifest his gratitude to the generous Patriots
of this capital, and that all the. world may know
the love, fidelity, and zeal with which they regard
the interests of the Spanish nation, has ordered a
Gazette Extraordinary to be published, with the
names of the corporation and individuals who have
contributed to relieve the necessities of the Parent
State. This liberality has been shewn at the mere
intimation of his Most Illustrious gicellency, to
fulfil the wishes of the Supreme Junta, and at a
lime when, from causes that are notorious, the
pecuniary resources of this establishment have been
very deficient.

at Masulapatam, directing the embarkation of one
or more detachments of the Madras European re-
giment on be ird of his Majesty's ships, for the
purpose of serving as martini, the Officers of the
station were induced to entertain the erroneous
supposition that the object of those Orders was to
separate, and filially to disperse that regiment (a
design which the Government of Fort St. George
has formally disavowed),' amid under the infinence
of this misapprehension, declared their resolution
to resist the exceutiou of them ; that Lieutenant.
Colonel Ines: having manifested a determination
tb enforce them, the Officers of the garrison pro-
ceeded to the barracks, and, by personal repre-
sentation, succeeded in seducing the troops from
their duty, and in obtaining from them ti promise
of support ; that Major Storey, the seat in com-
mand, who was then in the cantentneen, pruoeed-
ef the garrison, and having endeavoured with.
out success to induce Lieutenant-Colonel tames to
depart (rim the obligation of his public duty, by
abandoning Us resolution,to carry into effect the
orders which lie had received, adapted the extreme
measure of placing that Officer iu arrest, under
the charge of European sentries.
The Governor General hi Council hes deemed it
necessary to apprise the Army of Usugal of an
event so deeply interesting to the feelings of every
loyal subject, and especially of those who have
the honour to bear a military commission. The
Governor General in Council has received" with
sentiments of the deepest affliction, tits inteUlgence

What I .benrebefottiedranced, ,Sir, la your Pa-
per, is now perfectly corroboribild by Mr. Cos.

his Political Register, Naniely;—That the Rums.,

This, he says, is the Court doctrine at present,
and which will be certainly" further, improved on,
when Parliament meet. Ido not sue by. the
Newspapers, that the Counties of dalWay and
Mayo, stur even Kerry, are busy in preparing
Petitions, although in the latter one a Nobleman'
of the Catholic persuasion buds great away p•Wod
the Marquis of LA NSDOW NE would be undoubt,-
edly ready to support it with alt iris sense and elo.
quence. Why are our Nobility, whose probity
and honour are equal to their illustrious birth,
so indifferent to this important measure? Let us
take a view of them, and then sae if any reason
can be assigned for this strange tieglaet. The
Earl of Fusaar. lies under obligatiOns to his
MX7pTY for taking off his attainture. The Earl
of KENSIARE bath been created an Earl by his
MAJESTY. Lord Viscount GORMANSTON has had
his attainture taken off by the Kix°. lead
Viscount NETTERVILLE was nut attainted, and
has' not, remixed _ any favour. Lord Viscount

patioti;• and on having the Catholic Meeting so
uuaccounUhJy dismissed from the Cock Tavern,
iu Hettry.street, was the only Lord who signed
a requisition for a further Meeting. Ills endea-
vours have been successful by the assistance of
Counsellor O'GORMAN, who,. with indefatigable
pains, stepped forward hi the Catholic Cause, and
by his assiduity, revived the mode of Petitioning,
which is now going on, and snatched the cause of
suffering millions from the quietus attempted to
be imposed upon them ! The influence of their
Lordships may'still be of the greatest use upon
this occasion :—Let them exert themselves ; it is
not yet too late—but if they do not, I must think.
it proceeds from a principle of false honour—
imagining that as the King hath done so much for
them, gratitude requires that they should be but
lukewarm in. business. But if they have read
Colleen, they will there see, that the way to be
grateful and loyal, 'is to ' assist the Emancipation
of the Catholics, as his throne then becomes in.
vincible ; and, whilst the Eternal Hand of Justice
waves over it to protect it, the many lidded millions
around bid defiance to the proud Invaderland hurl
destruction, instead of 'tithing with him from insult
and despair ! ! !
