At this moment, my Lord, it is peculiarly impor tant that every perfon entrufted efpecially with the prekrvation of the public peace fhould know, and confcientionfir purfue, the aria line of his duty.— Your Lordfhip's diftinguifhed loyalty at all times, and on all occafions, leaves me no room to doubt that you will exert yourfelf to the bell of your judgment for this important purpofe ; and the fame ditianithed loyalty has probabl7 marked out your L ip. as one to whom nothing could fafely be uttered tending to demonftrate any ditpefition to the rebellious outrages. which of late pro slued fuels dreadful effea. ' and excited fo much alarm. But I fear there b ars been too many, in nada pretence and bearing, demonftrations have biota Made and words uttered, which ought to have alarmed the minds of loyal men ; and induce them to comoisunicate the around for that alarm, to dude in metherity ender the povereament. and "facially to the Pikes of the Peace is their fever') atria. :—but villa have thought Is to retain the imprefum made lo task minds within their own breads t--and to abs Aimee of ditcovery to other means.

My Lord, the Catholic Religion is the fame every where. I very reluaaotly enter on the fubjea. Re ligious difputes, I have always confidered the greaten misfortune any country could experience. I ma., however, beg leave to Rate to your Lordlhip, what I have always found to be the conduit and faith of the Catholic.

I mull fay. i I never heard a Catholic wills for the overthrow of the Proteftant Eftabliffiment, and letting up in its place one of his own religion. was not, as is well afeertained, the objea of the promoters of the rebellion in 1798: nor do I believe it was that of the ruffians and murderers who difgraced this country on elate oceafion. The Catholic is ready at this moment to facrifiee his life, his property, every thing dear to him, in fupport of the prefent Conaitution ; in defence of that beloved Sovereign to whom your Lordlhip does not Cam to pink we look up with that veneration, gra titude. and attachment, which I allure you we do.— The Catholic wifhes no other Family on the Throne; no other conftit ad on ; but certainly willies to be admit• ted, whenever it !hall be deemed expedient, to a full Glare in the benefits and bleffinrof that happy eon.

Catholic loyalty and allegiance, I need sot tell your Lordlhip. would oblige every one of that perfualion to refill and repel, even the head of the See of Rome, were it pe4 l fible to fuppofe that the ufurper who now siiitorbs the peace of the world. could fend him here with his invading armies. My Lord, the doerine of alte glance is perfealy underiluod, and uneeafiOgly preached by the Catholic Clergy's I hare j u tt ken an addrefs in the newfpapers, horn Dr. Coarsest to his flock at Cloyne, in which Catholic principles and allegiance are much more ably and fur.y explained and inculculated, than I could attempt doing. The late exhortation of the Rev. Dr. Tutor, in Dublin, your Lordlhip has probably feen, and his charwaer for diflinguiffied loyalty is known to every one. In the year 1796, when Hoc ri es fleet was in Bantry Bay, the Reverend DoClor Morass' published an riddrets to his people, for which, had the French land ed, he would undoubtedly have loft his ht.td. Surely, my Lord, folevre Adzes and *quilled oar of loyalty are the belt proofs that can be given. I have, my Lord, taken the liberty of dating to your Lordlhip what I confider Catholic principles, and Catholic conibitt. Standing in the fituation I du, I feel it my duty to vindicate the Catholics from any unfavourable opinion entertained of them. That your Lordlhip Anal(' know, and properly appreciate their fenti ments and conduct, is my only aim ; and would, I am fore, be highly gratifying to them.

Your Lordfhip Teems to ituag;nc that shots islabicauts • - - . of ?rand, who adhere in mamas d faith 'te the goo. 'tenons of the See of Rome, are difpored to Montan ; hacanilbas your Lordthip is pleated to exprefs yourfelf, they_are not admitted to a full (hare of the benefits and bleffings of the happy cooftitution under which they I live. If your Lordfhip means they are difcontented becsure they are not admitted to be member' of either Hoare of Parliament ; or to hold certain great offices; or becaufe they are excluded from the throne ; I mud confers, I cannot believe that the lower orders of the people in Ireland, emcee whom the ferment prin. cipally prevails, have any anxiety on the fubjeft, ex cept as it may be railed in their minds hy others : and your Lordfhip mud allow that no difturbances, of the fame defcription. are excited amongft the Quakers, who certainly are liable to more difabilities, -fur confcience fake, than thole of which your Lord (hip complains. I am afraid, or rather, lam per loaded, that the difference arises from the different temper given to their minds by their religions in. ftrudors: that the Qoaker is taught to live in charity with all men, whiff thrice who follow the See of Rome arc un fortunately taught a very confined cha rity, being told they are exclulively members of the Church of Coeur and thole whore minds have not ben enlarged b education or habit, feel it dif ficulte to conceive, h o w elide whom they are taught to confider as not Members of the Church, can be deemed Chrillians ; and accordingly, your Lordibip will find, upon enquiry, thatthe appellation of heathen is applied by shore, yo every Protellant. If thole who arc confidered as holding a higher rank in the prieft hood ufed theft influence to coned this imprdfinn on the minds of the lower orders. we might hope, that by degrees they might be taught to confider all who believe in Courr as their Redeemer, though not ad hering to the See of Rome, as their brethren in COIF= ; but unfortunately that is not the cafe. Dr. Taov. in his paftoral inftruaion op the duties of Chriftian citizens. publilbed in ty93, holds op high the exclufive doftrine ; which thofe who think humility a Chriftian virtue, in all refines mod be coming lb weak and fallible a creature as man. can not but confider as favouring of pe on.prefumpti Dr. Hussar, in his padoral letter, publithed 797 ex. pr&s himfelf in a ftronger language ; and indeed it it difficult for a loyal cubic& to read that publication. without feeling, that, especially at the time of its appearance, it could not tend to produce loyalty, or eves fubmilSon to the Government of the country, is the minds of thofe to whom it was addrefred.— Whilft loch imparts's% fo excited, are rankling in the minds bf men, very little regard can be paid to addreffes of the nature to, which your Lordfhip refers me. They are given to the winds, as long as the Priefts of the See of Rome (hall think fit to hold up to their flocks, that all who do not yield obedience to that See. are guilty of rebellion *vial it; are not to be confidered as members of the church of CHI= I and therefore are not ( in the eyes of the vulgar at lead) to be considere d as Chnftians. I am folly perfuaded, that thole who liften to their doarioes will never bear Chriftian charity towards thofe whom fo reprefented ; and will never be loyal and dutiful rubjefts of a King, thus held out to them as himfelf a rebel. In fine, my Lord. there who clamour for liberty of confcience (which in truth they have), mull be taught to allow liberty of confcience to others ; and thole who defire complete participation, mutt treat thofe with whom they Jerre to participate as brothers. Until, therefore, the Niels of the Rorodh perfuafion (hall think it their duty to preach, honeftly and confcientioully, the gi eat doitrine of soiyerfal charity in Corner; until they :hall, in all t..eir innruftions to chore under their care, re prefent, hominy and coorcientioufly, all who fincerely believe in CHRIST, the Redeemer of Mankind, to be brethren in Costar, however mittaken they may fuppafe any of them to be in certain points of faith until they (hall teach their flocks that defiling liberty to think for themfelves, they ought alfn to permit others to think for therolgues, and not to murder them, bccaufc they differ in religious opinions; peace never can be ellablilbed in the land ; and the loyal ad dreffes of Dolor Tarry and Doctor Coernielell will, I as I have before laid, be given to the winds. They can have no effea ; they may indeed reach the eyes or the ears, but never will enter the hearts of there to whom they are addrefied.
