At a meeting of upwards of 2000 Catholics in Dublin on the 5th March, Sir F. Bellew in the chair, it was agreed to present an address to the Prince Regent, wherein they offer their hearts and hands in defence of the throne.
Major Bryan then moved that a petition should be forwarded to the prince, for the removal of the Duke of Richmond and Mr. W. Pole: but after some discussion, an amendment was proposed by Mr. Plunket, praying that his highness would order an immediate inquiry, and that if no grounds appeared to exist for the late measure, that he would dismiss both the Duke and Mr. Pole. This motion was carried, and a petition founded thereon ordered to be presented.
