THURSDAY , MAY 24 , 179 S . LORD Castlereagh presented a Message from his Excelleny the Lord Lieutenant , informing Parliament that his Excellency had issued on that day ¦ A proclamation , p lacing the whole kingdom under martial law ; thereby vesting him with an absolute authority , deemed necessary in the present criti , cal situation of the State .

Mansel moved the thanks ofthe House to General Sir James Duff , for his gallant conduct in opening the communication between this metropolis and the south oi the kingdom , in his action with the Rebels at the Curragh of Kildare .

Mr . J . C . Beresford adverted to the circumstance of General Dundas's treating with and receiving ambassadors from 4000 rebels , with arms in their hands .
