Tnerally and defervedly engroffed the attention of the pubiick, after a long debate, which lafted till 12 at night, was finally de-termined in a manner highly agreeable to all friends of liberty and their country. The populace, who impatiently waited the important decifion, carried the patriot tri, bune to his coach, and conducted ther glorious defender home, amidst repeated acclamations, and the joyful fhouts of protected liberty. The found of the trumpet was not wanting to proclaim the glad tidings, which, as in an instant, reached the most diftant parts of the city; joy fparkled in every honest countenance, and gladdened every honeft heart: The blate of more than 1000 bonfires illumined our. ftreets, which refounded with the grate ful voice of multitudes, whofe rejoicings. were only fufpended by the approach of day. Such were the expreffions, by which a people, truly fenfible of the inestimable bleffings of liberty, and the merits of thofe difinterested champions, who, with a generous difregard of private intereft, fo nobly contended for the publick, actified their gratitude and approbation; and which might have done honour to the antient Romans, thofe fons of freedom, even when their republick was at its highett pitch of glory and perfection. Tuesday, 18. The merchants and traders of this city prefented the following addrefs, figned by upwards of 100 of the moft eminent (whofe names, for want of room, we are obliged to omit) to Sir Sa MUEL COOKE, Bart, one of our reprefen, tatives in parliament, which he accepted with great politenefs, teftifying the fignal pleasure he received by this publick mark of approbation from fo refpectable a body; and affuring them, that as it has hitherto been his conftant endeavour to acquit him felf of the facred trust delegated to him with fidelity and honour; fo fhould he on every future occafion invariably pursue the fame great object, by fupporting, to the utmoft of his power, fuch measures, as feem beft calculated to promote and fecure the true intereft and welfare of his conftituents.

Its is, therefore, our part to affure you, that a faithful discharge of your duty will be the fureft recommendation to a grateful people, who will, upon all occafions, endeavour to shower honours upon those, and upon thofe alone, who adhere ftedfaitly to the true united intereft of our most excellent king, and yet happy country. -Such are the marks of refpect and gratitude, which are at the fame time the Just reward, as well as the infeparable attendant on virtue and publick fpirit; and it is very obfervable, that feveral of the gentlemen who concurred in the above addrefs, were fuch as efpoused a contrary Intereft on the late election. Many of the inhabitants, who from the lateness of the hour had not an opportunity of rejoycing on the determination of the preceding night, teftified their approbation of that important decifion by bonfires, illuminations, and other expreffions of the fincerest joy. Wednesday, 19. Near 100 noblemen and gentlemen, of the first diftinction in the province of Munfter, with the lord mayor and sheriffs, dined at the Tholfell of this eity; the right hon. Henry Boyle, speaker of the Houfe of Commons, in the chair: Where all poffible magnificence and elegance were difplayed for their table entertainment, while their ears were delighted with an excellent band of musick, the ringing of all the bells in town, and by the pleafing acclamations of the populace Yound a large bonfire, where they poured out their unaffected, cordial praises of their benefactors. In this fcene of mirth and good humour, which were never more éminently distinguishable in any assembly, all toafts, expreffing loyalty and patriotifm, were remembered, amongst which the following were moft remarkable : The king. The prince of Wales. The princess dowager of Wales, and the reft of the royal family. The duke, and the army. The duke, and battle of Culloden. The glorious and immortal memory of the great king William. May the fucceffion to the crown be perpetuated in the illuftrious houfe of Hanover. The lord Lieutenant. Profperity to Ireland. Profpertiy to Munfter. Profperity to the city of Dublin. All thofe worthy citizens, who joined in thanks to their faithful reprefentative, Sir Samuel Cooke, for his good conduct in parliament. May the commons ever hold the purfe of the nation. May the prefent fpeaker, and all fucceeding fpeakers, maintain their dig. nity in the state. May power ever remain in the friends of Ireland. May there never be wanting an eary of Kildare, of as much; 613 fpirit and fenfe as the prefent, to fupport the liberty of Ireland. May thofe only feel ecclefiaftical tyranny, who would fubmit to it. May the commons of Ireland ever defend themfelves from all undue, anticonftitutional influence. The glorious majority on the 23d of Nov. and the 17th of Dec. Religion without priestcraft.

Many zealous citizens forced into the room, to view the earl of Kildare and the Speaker, their beloved patrons : And after gratifying their curiosity, and expreffing their fatisfaction by a loud huzza, very orderly retired. The chearfulnefs and unanimity, that fo powerfully prevailed in this affembly, promite the best effects to the province, and to the whole kingdom, as far as the endeavours of one province may contribute thereto : And its first endeavour affords a fair example for the other provinces, in the following refolution of thanks to their worthy reprefentatives in parliament for the province of Munster. At an affembly of the gentlemen of the province of Munster, held at the Tholfell of the city of Dublin, on Wednesday the 19th of December, 1753 Refolved, That the thanks of this affembly be given to the Speaker, and to their faithful reprefentatives in parlia ment; for having, in this critical feafon, zealously and fuccefsfully defended the cause of liberty against all anticonftitutional invafions; for having exhibited for pofterity the moft illuftrious ex-. amples of loyalty and patriotism; and for having, with the affiftance of the generous reprefentatives of other parts of this kingdom, hitherto preferved their country from the mifchievous effects' of corruption and other male-practices, by which they have entitled themselves to the most grateful acknowledgments and fervices of all who have a due fenfe of the intereft of this kingdom, and rightly conceive how greatly fociety is concerned in giving virtue ample rewards.
