As soon as this proclamation was known,
Mr.. O'Conuell called special meeting of
the Repeal Association, which was numer-
ously attended, when il was resolved, on
advice strenuously urged By Mr.. O'Con-
nell, that the meeting should be counter
manded, and every means used TO prevent
The people from disobeyine the order Of
the Lord Lieutenant. At the same time
Mr.. O'Conncl declared that the Govern
ment were now agitaling for repeal more
vigorously than ho had done, and that
nothing was more calculated TO assist his
views than The present step. lie avowed
his intention Of remaining in Dublin to con.
tinuc the agitation, instead Of proceeding
to his country seat, as he had intended.
The Repeal Association issued the fol-
lowing counter proclamation:

Extensive military precautions were tax.
en- on Sunday, the day Of the proposed
meeting. The guards at their usual sta.
tons were doubled, ahd a considerable DO.
! dy of troops were ordered oul on the oc.
casion, consisting Of cavalry and infantry.
aud every precauion was taken to prevent
any outbreak and although there were
assembled about 250O or 5000 men, they
gave no evidence Of fear or disposition
TO create disturbance. The place Sc.
lccicd for tie meeting was a large field,
with a gentle elevation, lying TO the left OF
( the seaward wall Of Clonlari, and sand to
have been the place whereon the great
Irish Scion, Brian Borolhme, defeated the
Danes and their Irish allies, though with
the loss Of his own life.
The Repeal Association held meeting
on the 9th. Mr. O'Councll described his
course as follows:
a. give notice Of my plan; and on a
certain day, vet to be appointed, every pa
rish in ireland shall meet 10 seek the res.
toration Of their native Legislature. Be
fore the next sitting Of Parliament il will
be necessary to hold Two of these simul'a.
neous pnrochial meetings Of universal Ire.
land. The first, for the due exposition Of
their grievances and the drawing up Of
petitions to the Imperial Parliament the
second 10 have these petitions adopted anC
signed man By man. These meetings will
take place after mass aud the necessary
business will be transacted ~ the hulC
yards or enclosures attached TO every
chapel. want 10 know how they vii
prevent our meeting 10 petition simultane
ously throughout Iyolaqh although they
NAV prevent our mcetlng1n multltudcs.
TO arrange this was one Of my rea
SONS for giving up monster meetings; bu

this believe the proclamation will give u
, no small help; and soon all over lrelan'
[. there will be gentlemen dispensing justice

prevent Irish estates being overloaded wit
