TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, CAPITAL BURGESSES, AND FREEMEN OF THE BOROUGH OF SUDBURY. GENTLEMEN-4f is generally believed that Parlia ment is on the eve of dissolutions During a period of 29 years, I have been connected by intimate and ho nourable relations with your Borough, in the high and delegated trust of one of its Representatives in Parliament, or as Recorder of the Corporate Body. I cannot flatter myself, however, that, under the dis adiantage of absence, and opposed, probably, by the active personal canvass of many unexceptionable candidates, my return to Parliament could be reas sured ; nor, indeed, with the recollection of the cir cumstances attendant upon the only subject in which any material difference of opinion has existed be tween a large P ortion of my constituents and myself, is the spot of Europe from which I date my present Address, the best selected to obliterate my recollec tion, or to soothe their difference of opinion. If this difference of opinion respecting the claims of our fellow-subjects of the communion of Rome, ha; been the source of many regrets, I have, never theless, the satisfaction to remember, that the expla-• nations of my Parliamentary conduct, as connected with this subject, have been received with candour, and the result has been highly flattering to my feel ings, though unaccompanied with an unanimity of suffrage. But I have reached a protracted period of life— beyond that, indeed, usually allotted to the days of man—and now a change . of opinion or conduct, on so momentous a question, is little likely to take place, especially when that opinion has been formed on the closest examination, and sealed with the deepest con viction of my judgmcat. It is an opinion, Gentlemen, which the lapse of time, and the sanction of much and patient study, has interwoven in the very thread and body of my political life.—As, then, my own sentiments on this head are unalterable, and I cannot hope for the prev alent coincidence of yours—l con ceive that I best consult both the harmony of my constituents, and the peace of my own mind, by resigning a trust, which I should be unable to acquit with universal satisfaction. For whatever confidence I might feel in the integrity of my intentions, or whatever conviction that my humble efforts have been designed, at least, to promote the best interests of my country—believe me, Gentlemen, any further collision of opinion would be, to me, matter of such painful regret, that I want resolution to meet it,—at a time of life—little calculated to cope with political irritation. On a former occasion, when hereditary and habi-I tual prejudices were not undesignedly aggravated by misrepresentations of my Parliamentary conduct, and when it was difficult, as indeed it is at the pre sent hour, to say whether Pro:estants or Catholics were the more active in. the work of defamaticen II ttiought it incumbent on me to endeavour to undo c 2ive my constituents, by placing before them some authentic references to my sentiments on this quesH ton of high national interest. Though the personal motives which chiefly influenced me, at that period, no longer exist, I am persuaded that I cannot close my Parliamentary connection with my constituents more consistently than by resorting to the same de clarations, which I shall beg to subjoin to this Ad dress. The question which called them forth must , be of perpetual occurrence, as long as the law re mains in its present anomatoustnue, as affecting the interests and feelings of millions of the people. Although the Parliamentary relations which have so long subsisted between us are now nearly drawing to a close—as the depositary of another important trust, in the character of Recorder of the Corporals Body—my best services will, nevertheless, be devoted to the maintenance of your municipal chartered rights ; nor upon any occasion shall I be slow to mar nifcst the deep interest I must ever feel in every question affecting the prosperity—l may be permitted , as a Freeman to say—of our ancient Borough. With the sincerest sentiments of respect and invio lable attachment, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most faithful Friend and obliged Humble Servant, J. C. HIPPEsLIIY. Roma, April 8 a 1818. EXTRACTS. On the 14th of May, 1805, an Mr. Fox's Motion for a Com mittee, &c. Sir J. Itippisley stated in Parliament, that his Ma jesty bail ratified the Catholic Constitution of Corsica, as he had before ratified that of Canada. and had also given Commissions, under his Royal Signature, to Ronson Catholic Clergymen. to act as Chaplains of Casholia regiments, raised in Great Britain and Ire lond.—ln a few days afterwards Sir J. H. published a tract of " Additional Observations," in the form of a continuation of his speech, in which he made use of the following expressions : Goo forbid that any Member of Parliament, in assenting to the prayer of the Petition, under such ntodyiustions as may be deemed advisable, should be accused of a wish to propose to his Majesty a departwe from the solemn obligation by which he has bound himself • to maintain the Protestant R ef ormed Religion ' es tablished by law , and to govern the pe o p le accordin g to the &a. totes in Parliament agreed on, and the laws and constitution of the realm.' "—(Coronation Oath.). ", Were we to go into a Committee, I should think the outs. aim favourable for adducing many heads of regulation, which I conceive to be intimately connected with the concession of the objects of the Petition—so necessary, in may own opinion, that I should not think 'inyseffjustyied in Axing infamous of that conces sion, if unaccompanied with provisions of a similar tenden.y ; and under the influencc of the same opinion, they were submitted, by myself, to his Majesty's Ministers, while the great measure of the Union was pending. " On the 25th of May, 1808, on Mr. Grattan's Motion for a Committee, Sir .1. IT. again stated the regulati.ns and restrictions which, in his opinion, were indispensable, and " which might tend (he added) to quiet the apprehensions of the moat scrupu lous, whenever the See of Rome should be considered as acting under a hostile iigtuence, and become on object of just suspicion :" concluding, that " he voted for going into a Committee, in which the important subject might be more odequatelyconsideved." On the 18th of May, 1810, on a similar Motion of Mr. Grattan, Sir J. 11. proceeded to state the grounds of his ir.so perable objection to any further concessions, unless they were accompanied with all those regalatioas and restrictions which he had before urged, concluding a speech of much detail, with these words:—" To the Catholic and Protestant Bigot, I feel equally indisposed—l would recommend to many Catholics to desist from their flippant and ill-directed attacks, and not out strip their adversaries in the race of calumny ; they have to cam bat the honest prrjudiccs of a groat people, the early impremioni v youth, and the force of inconsiderate seal, as well as tie timidity aged 1 defect in it formation of a great portion of their feßow-ssikieess. ft I VMS a melancholy truth, that the best informed on printjects, philosophers and statesmen, were often moat el fs this, which vitbily affected the interests , the feelin and the' honour, of millions of the people, and clic security Itsit Empire it..-If. ' Our Constitution (says the great Ms. Burk e) is not mods fr. great—ceneral--proseriptint exclusions; sooner or lake k will 'destroy them, or they will destroy the. Constitution.' In the choice of nio,asures (Sir J. 11. observed) he only wished to see those. 461 opted that could ensure thogiest ends Of semsttiatims, by , the least essejitiosabieniesits--to Masse the risks gensaciessee for every &adieus* efossrldistoctiects,ead WWII moment., airs atn.weaxs or ova Cooperntrou, roe MI /11061 , 2Z1TY Of ALL." lie therefore voted for gouig into a Committee, for taking into consideration the objects of the Petition. On * loth of June, 1811, on a third similar Motion of Mr. Grattan ; Sir J. H. repeated the same arguments, and urged Me Sante reihictions. He urged also the practice of moderation by the Catholics—and pointed out the inconsistency of some of their Prelates. He suggested also, that " A Select Committee should be formed for the consideration of the subject, consisting of the King's Law Officers, Civilians, and Common Lawyers of eminence, as well as other Members, most competent to the examination of such a subject; and that in the House of Lords, the Prelates if the Establishment ought to take a material part in sack an investigation. The oroduction of documents, and the comminations, in such a Committee, might be followed by rear Wiese of fact, directing the attention of the public to the ma terial points, and constituting the most satisfactory authority on Minh a 111 11 might hereafter be framed commensurate with the real exigency and justice of the case. The adoption, qualifica tion, or even the rejection of the claims of the Petitioners wood' thus derive a sanction not to be found in the loose discussions of successive parliamentary debates. It should seem (said Sir J. H.) that this expedient was too rational to be questioned by any but those who were determined to resist inquiry in any shape nthatmer. No Member of the House was snore sonority devoted se the Constitution, both in Church and State,than lessulr Ile wished, nevertheless, to give a free currency to the investigation--and to see a great fabtic of national strength raised on the extinction of antiquated prejudice. Union, he was persuaded, was within our reach, though uniformity be unattainable." On the 24th of April, 1812, on a fourth similar Modem of Mr. Grattan, Sir J. FL pressed again the adoption and Repot of a Committee, " for the satisfaction (as he observed) of the public at large, on a question which involved a striking and oar terlal departure from a system which had been the received po- licy of ages. The mere act of legislation, however greet the Parliamentary Majorities with which it might be carried, woad still be comparatively unsubstantial till hailed by the accordiegpri. So voice, enfranchised from its prejudices :—the human mind is not so leadUy liberalized, as civil franchises are extended by le gislation.*** Oathe 22d of June, 1812, on the Motion of the Bight Hon. George Canning, late on. of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, Sir J. H. again expressed himself as strongly in favour of " regulations which should be interposed as barriers against the encroachments of the See of Rome ; and there were not want • ing instances, he observed, of the existence of such encroach ments. A prudent Legisl4ure would not dispense with the enactment of such rittrisioos as might eventually meet the evil whenever it might present itself—however small the probability might be of its recurrence. He had been uniform, he said, in his deciarationsfrom thefirst mount when he rook part in the Mica , - ' non of Liz fuestson, and he wouldneiurassent to the measure unac companied by those severities, uskich had been sanctioned by the wis doms and experience gages." To these extracts the opinions. of some eminent Prelates of the Establishment, may not be nnoppor. • tunely subjoined. The late Bishop (Watson) of Landaff (Regina Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge ), in an ad-rest/sedum prefixed to a Charge delivered to his Clergy In 1805, dies ea presses himself :—" A numerous and respectable part of the Clergy of my Diocese requested ran to publish the Charge ow submitted to the world. I excused myself from complying with their request, because I considered the Catholic Question to have been then settled, at least, for a time; and I was unwilling to revive the discussion of a subject, on which I had the misfor tune to differ in opinion from a majority in each House of Pan. !lament. I have still that misfortune ; but, looking upon the situation of the empire to be abundantly more hazardous now than it was three years ago, I have thought it a duty to declare publicly my approbation of a measure, calculated. I sincerely believe, above all other measures, to suppo rt the independence of the country—to secure the see ileyof the promote peace cons fellow subjects, end dimity essougfelloso Orristrans—end in no probable degree dangerous to the Constitution either in Church State." The late Bishop (Law) of Elphin, in one of his publication. observes, " By far the greatest part of the population Of Mir Diocese are Roman Catholics. I know I cannot make them good Protestants; I therefore wish to make good Catkin it 21181188821 with this intention I put into their hands the woks el Gather, an eminent Catholic Divine."—The same Prelate, in a debate on the Catholic Bill in 1793, declared, that, in his opi. don, "speculative differences on some points of faith were of no account. His Roman Catholic brethren and himself had bet one religion—the religion of Christians ;—and that without jus tice to the Catholic, there could be no security for the Protestant The various declarations in Parliament made on this subject in concurrence with these opinions, by the present Bishop (Ba *burst) of Norwich, were preceded by a Marge to his Clergy in 1808, when speaking of the Roman Catholic subjects of his Majesty, he says—" That it would be unfair to iavolve in the guilt of his misguided zealots of former days, a body of men of a far different description, to whom it is our duty, and should be our inclination, to At; every mark of benevolence, both as brethren and as deserving fellow subjects." And in a speech of the late Bishop (Horsley) of St. Asaph, in 1805, his Lordship says—" I do not hold that there is any thing in the Roman Catholic Religion at variance with the prisuipks of loyalty. Ido not believe that any Roman Catholic of the present day thinks himself at liberty not to keep faith with He retics—not bound by his oath to a Protestant Government; or that the Pope can release him from the obligation of his oath of allegiance to his Sovereign. I have a perfect knowledge of the questions proposed, and the answers returned by the foreign Universities, in which these abominable principles (the dispens ing and deposing power) were most completely and unanimously reprobated thin learned Bodies, and lam persuaded the Roman Catholics are sincere in thei r disavowal and abjuration of those pernicious maxims ; and I hold that the Roman Catholics of this country are dutiful and loyal subjects of his Majesty." Such are the extracts and references which were circulated on the occasion alluded to, in the pre ceding address. In each subsequent Session, Sir J. HIPPISLEY maintained the same ground, and reurged the appointment of a Select Committee of Inquiry.— That measure was at length acceded to, and on the 24th of June, 1816, the Report of the Committee was delivered to the House. It has since been printed by order of both Houses of Parliament. The chief documents annexed to the Report, toge ther with the supplementary papers, communicated by command of the PRINCE Rscstxr, on the 26th of March, 1817, stand upon the authority of the Go vernments of the most considerable States of Europe, of the Roman Catholic, the Greek, the Lutheran, and the Reformed Churches—and may be considered valuable. especially from " throwing light," to use the words of the Report, cd upon subjects of long and continual controversy regarding those points, in which a regulated intercourse with a foreign spiritual juris diction has beer. held to be necessary or allowable, consistently , with the rights of conscience, the integrity of civil obligations, and the security of the State. 7 • In a note annexed to the substance of Sir J. H.'s speech on the motion of Mr. Grattan, on the 24th cf April. the facts stat ed were referred to, with the following ploservation:—" If such be the opinions of eminent Ecclesiastics of the See of Rome, jealm:s of the independence of their Church, shall the Members of the Establishment wholly shut their ryes against the possibi- lily of encroachment? And shall they, who seek the prcitection of ' their Catholic fellow-subjects, equally with their own, be calumniated, because they are not disposed to surrender their reason to the voice of clamour'! If the representative body of the nation—the guardians of its interests and security—should be so little alive to their duties, as to turn aside from whole some legislation, in yielding to those clamours—very little per manent good could be augured from concessions matted by such ill-grounded apprehensions." Monday, a deputation of the Electors of West. minster waited upon Sir GEORGE ALDERSON, one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, requesting he would offer himself as a Candidate for Westmin ster. The worthy Knight, however, declined, alledg ing that, as Sheriff he was returr.ing officer, and incapacitated to offer himself as it Representative.

A large body -of the Prope.etc:: of Dray-1m Theatre met yesterday to hear tare reports of their General and Sub-Committee. The two :Tuns we equally decided in their description of ti:e state of the finances of the concern: the deb's yes calculated at 80,0001. and the loss p er _ night wit averaged at 1001. To close or let the Theatre seemed the only alternative, and as a ourcLaser could scarce be expected to come forward under present rheum. stances, it seemed to be cor.,riered as tl,e most adris. able step to keep the Theatre closed, after the Fuses season, till the encumbrances upon it v.-ere removed or alleviated. Meanwhile, the Bill now before Ps liameat was recommended, with certain modiicaties, as the only mode of raising money, and, conwqedi, the only_means of saving the Theatre from Ms= ruin. Mr. Bess, in the course et &e discussies, stated, that, though as an actor, he inert repel ' degrading proposal of reducing the salaries et Performers, yet he and his brotherhood felt su for the impoverished state of the Theatre, that thy had offered to play three weeks gratuitously. ilk offer, however, had been rejected. As a proof the be did not despair of the Theatre, if properll ra.magel, he had just purchased another 5001. sham.
