Henry Grattan was, of course, present, as also Sir George Cock-bnrne and General Mahon. The following is the best report of Lord Cloncurry's speech on this occasion: --I do not know that I ever, in my life, felt 90 happy as in being thus kindly noticed by so great a number of my beloved and very dear countrymen. When I address my Catholic brethren, I feel that I address the people of Ireland, as they have just been appropriately termed by an honourable and enlightened gentleman Mr. Stanhope. I have beard this day the firing of guns for the taking of Java, and will venture to assert, that its first article of capitulation is a security for the free exercise of the religion of the conquered; and if this be the case, why not extend the same benefits to the conquerors loud applause? Had the Catholics of Ireland, instead of five millions, been but five hundred thousand, and lent themselves as an instrument to oppose the welfare of their country, their religion would have been left the religion of the State, but as a whole people could not be traitors to themselves, the Catholics have been excluded; the strong arm of power has been uplifted to depress you, but if you are true to yourselves, fear nothing. Your cause is the cause of the empire loud applause. I am happy to hear such deserved testimony borne to your merits and long-sufferings; but mj advice is, that you shall never fur any man, or set of men, relax in your exertions. Persevere firmly and constantly, for by such means only you will succeed applause. Perseverance, too, would accomplish a Repeal of that infamous measure, the Union unbounded applause. No man should have influence to induce yon to desist..
