A Meeting of the Protestants of Fermanagh, convened by the HIGH SHERRIFF, for the purpose of establishing a Brunswick Constitutional Club, was held on Tuesday, in the Court-House of Enniskillen. At 12 o’clock an Orange flag was hosted on the Market-House, and soon after two Purple flags with 1690 emblazoned upon them, were seen floating from the Court-House.
