From lute London Papers, A Dublin and a Water ford mail arrived this morning, by whiih we have received 1 r i ill papers up to Sunday latt. NotwithiUuding the late arrelU of the Infh delegates, the meetings for electing others have not lubfjded. Thefe meeting are not con fined to the lower cLU of the community, nor even to men of property. The ir.i m'. cra of parliament the high Iheritll the m ay ors ud corptratioiis in their otiicial robe. thr inc mers of thr grand jury, and ail .he proteltant gentry at the -lhzes have united toethtr in lierting their legitimate i ighis. On Sund .y, fays the Dublin Evening Ilt ot tire I7t., a uettit.g ol thr C.tholici of tlie county was held in the town of GjI way. II is meeting was more numerous, and in every paint of vim mote important than any uithiu thr rerollrCion ot the oldelt inliani: nt.

We had written fo far when a firthcr aciouut of this intruding and important niteting reached out flic e, hut v.e have o dy time to add, that amongft thofc prefentwcic the members ot thr grand jury thr niayor and corpurati in in th-'.r iegrN ia, anu many other perfons cf the fi(t c'iCiucliun and cr,f qurtue.

The meetings wi I be c:ner;l over our inlnUed, opprrlT-d, yet fiill Ipirited land,' We aii.er well from this apprarancs of unai i mty in In 1 nd.

The plr . fet up hy the government of Ireland, that it is unlawful to) .'ppoint delegates to meet and prepare petitions, while at the fame moment they do rot deny that petitioning i thr prnpj-'s right, appear; fo tunic- and abfmd. that we are furpjih o ant human bein,j i ould ever linvr en t i taiiu d it for a fn glr moment. The tinited voice of a nation, t olh cled in one fingle rr piefentation, mult finely he more acceptable to government, occupied with fo many imp .i tan: concerns a? ih-t ot G. Britain, than if thr complaints of that nation were conveyed to the throne in many thoufand ditmct petitions. If the delegates of the Catholics (huuld agitate any other topics at he n meetings, than thotrlmmediately connected with petitioning, they ought then to rtttrac ihr n tice of the executive, becaof5 they would be alTumini Irgifl.aive powrrst contry to the expef and unierfiood Iar of the land. But when the appointment of delegates is for no ot er purpofe than to nirrt and piepare petitions, and nothing at the ir meetings has the Irafl apnrarancr of an attempt to lrjiflatr, wr confider all interferenie with them as contrary to law, bz an infringement of their natural rights. London Statesman, Our readers will obferve that the political ltatc ot Irt lanUf has adorned quite a nevr and very intciclting afpedt. Inhere will be found reafon to exult in the dig nified pofitiou which the Catholic committer of Dublin took, on finding that a proclamation putting in force the 4 Convention adl, in rrricr to deprive the people of their legal right to petition tor a redrefs of their grievances. Since, however, it appears th.3t the tron and illegal hand of thr government has ?.rrehed fiv grutlcmen, Iradin charadlers of tnc Catholic body, in Dublin, for exercifin the ahove right ; with tins, however we have to contrlt the meetings in thr counties of Galway and K"rry. lopg fuhfequrnt to the proclamation, and in open clefi .ncr of the authority of government. To the legal and manly conduct of their p ott'lbnc and Prefbytcrum brethren do th- G tholica of thole counties owe their triumph otrr thofe defpicable minions of bri-i(h'oMprelIi on and i ijuflice. The prefent date of Ireland ditK-rs from any former period in hrr deplorable Jiillory, viz. a proteflant mai'ftraty, appointed by government ;ydiny the Catholics to ad in direel c ntradicion of ihe orders and will of that government., Vo do" away any imputation ?ain(l the ma(Irate? as violating the laws of the country, it will be necelTiry to remark, that procl .mation fucli as that of whit h wr fpe t is no law ; on the contrary i i IM dir db violation of a claufeinthe ci nv ntion adi, whi. h fecures (or ouqht to h e .re) to t!:C people thr right of legally "atTcmblir; tr petition for a redrefs of grievances. Tl e large amount cf rank, fortune ar.d taler t which oppofe the vicious lord lieutenant ?c council of Ireland, will, in or opinion, ei.hrr bring the latter to a frnfe c f their duty and i.itrrefl, or had to thr dif.rt fTing alternitivr of a civil war.
