Accordingly, even nne or two inaccuracies of lan guage have been kit untouched; they are, indeed, only • gratifying proof of the earnestness of the writer, who was more intent on the solemn importance of his subject, than on the niceties of diction. A very few notes have been subjoined in illustration. " I may be permitted to add, that If there were a single line in these papers which could 1.11 any degree impair the dignity of our late revered Menai-ch. en consideration could have Unlaced me to be the hintoment at oorsupsuiesting them to the world.

" For the publication of the letters of Mr. Pitt no apology can be necessary. The [fiends of that great man can only be gratified by the production of this additional evidence of his Inflexibk inte pity, and of his readiness to relinquish the dearest objects of honour. able ambition, rather than tarnish his honour, or down his principles.

In order to preserve the Established Church, several Laves have been enacted, subjecting those who dissented from the Established Church to penalties or disabilities; and these have messed some. times upon one denomination of Sectarists, and sometimes upon another, as the temper of the times or the supposed necessity of the case required—Papists and Csnvendclers have in their turn. felt the rigour of Statute Law.

The question that has bees so improperly patronised by the Loa Lieutenant of Ireland In favour of the Papists, though certainly very properly silenced ben, yet it seems not to have been viewed in what seems so me the strongest point of view, Its militating against the Coronation Oath and many existing Statutes. I have therefore stated the accompanying queries on paper, to which I desire the Lard Kenyon will, after due consideration, state his opinion in the same manner, and should be glad if he would aka acquire the sentiments of the Attocaertieneral on this most serious subject. OEORG. R. No. 11. THE QUERIES REFERRED TO IN No. I. warrrss sr ens snse's sass.) The following ` Queries on the present attempt to abolish all dis thsetions is Religion in Ireland, with the intention of favouring the Roman Catholics in that Kingdom, are stated from the desire of learning whether this can be done. without &Reefing the Quintus. don of this country? if not, there is no occasion to view whether this measure in itself be not highly improper? The only Laws which now affect the Papists In Ireland are the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity, the Test Act, and the BIU of Rights. It seems to requite very serious Investigation how far the King can give his assent to a Repeal of any one of those Acts. without a breach of his Coronation Oath. and of the Articles of Union with Scotland. The construction put on the Coronation Oath by the Parliament at the Revolution seems strongly marked in the Journals of the House of Commons, whew the Clause was proposed by way of Riderto the Rill (aith March, 1689, amtnoni Aturnabi) estab. killing the Coronation Oath, declaring that nothing contained in it should be construed to bind down the King and Queen, their Heirs and Successors not to give the Roy,al Assent to any Bill for quail tying the Act of Uniformity so Car as to render it palatable to Pro testant Dissenters and the Clause was negatived upon a division. This leads to the implicatiom that the Coronation Oath was under stood at the Revolution to bind the Crown not to assent to any Repeal of any of the existing laws at the Revolution, or which were tbeo enacted, for the maintenance sod defence of the Protestant Religiose as by law established. If the Oath was unthrstood to bind the Crown not to assent to the repeal of the Act of Uniformity in favour of Protestant Dissen ters, it would seem to bind the Crown foil as strongly not to assent to the repeal of the Act of Supremacy, or the Test Act, in favour of Romam Catholics. Another question arises from the provisions of the Act limiting the Succession to the Crown, by which a forfeiture of the Crown is expressly enacted, if the King upon the Throne should hold com munication with, or be reconciled ti the Church of Home. May not the repeal of the Act of Supremacy, and the establishing he Popish Religion In any of the Hereditary Dominions, be construed as amoundng to a reconciliation with the Church of flame ? Would not the. Ch►aeslior of England incur some risk in athsink the Great Seal to a BM for giving the Pope a concurrent Eccle siastical Jurisdiction with the King? By the Articles of Union with Scotland, it is declared to be an essential and fundamental• Article, that the King of Great Britain shall maintain the Church of England u by law establhhed in En. gland, Ireland, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The bargain made by England in 1782 by Yelverton's Act gives rise to the question, whether the repeal of any of the English • The Extract from the Commons' Journals, alluded t• by his Majesty.

A Proviso, ingrossed, was offered, as a Rider, to be made part of the Bell, which was read the First time, and is as follows: " Provided always, and be it hereby declared, that no Clause its this Act shall be understood so to bind the Kings and Queens of this Realm ' as to prevent their giving their Royal Assent to any Bill which shall, at any time, be offered by the Lords and Com mons assembled in Parliament, for the taking away or altering any Form or Ceremony in the Established Chutch, so as the Doctrines of she said Chords, a public Liturgy, and the Episcopal Government of it.brpresetved." „ A Debate arote thereopon.

'The King is much pleased with the diligence skews by the Lilted Kenyon In answering the questions proposed to bias; but as he seems not fully apprised of the carver of the preemie applicatioo of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, the King has thought it best to enclose the Petition received yesterday, and the state of the ques tions. drawn op by a Right Rev. Prelate of that Kingdom on which the King wishes to have the Lord Kosyen's further opi nion in writing. GEORG. R. Queen's House, March 14, 1793. No. Y.—Enclosed to No. IV. It has been confidently reported in Ireland, that in compliance with the unbounded retribition of the Roman Catholics, a Bill had been prepared t °capacitate them to sit in Parliament without making and subscribing the Declaration against Popery, or tailing the Oath of Supremacy. This appears to be a direct violation of the English ' Act of the Mb Charles IL statute 2, chap. I. ; which enacts, that no person shall sit or vote in Parliament, until he shall have taken the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and made, and subscribed, and audibly repeated, the Declaration against Pryer) , therein contained. Which Act, as far as it relates to the said Oaths and Declarations, was made the law of Ireland, by the Irish Act of the gist and 22d of George 111. chap. Sg. sect. 3.—lt also appears to be a repeal of the Declaration of the Bill of Rights, which are expressly enacted and established, " to stand and remain and be the Law of the Realm for ever."—lt seems to be a repeal of the Act of Settlement, " Whereby ail the laws and statutes of the realm for securing the Established Reli gion were ratified and confirmed." Among which statutes so confirmed we most place the preceding Statutes of Charles 11. and the Declaration of the Bill of itights.—lt appears also to be a direct violation of the Act of Union (5 Anne, chap. 8.), by which the inviolate maintenance and preset vation of the Rata bushed Religion in Ireland is secured, by providing " that all and singular die Acts of Parliament then in force for the establish ment and preservation of the Church, should remain and be in full force for ever. And it is further therein enacted, that this Act, and all and every the things therein contained, be and shall for ever he holden to be a fundamental and essential part of the Union." It seems also that an inviolable observation of all these Statutes is made obligatory upon every King and Queen of the Realm by the Coronation Oath. Is it not advisable, therefore, to put an end at once to a claim that is inconsistent and incompatible with the terms of the original contrast between the King and the People, and subversive of that part of the Constitution formed for the preservation of the Protestant Religion, as established by Law?

Reetellt misconduct in the raped King James IL had raised great jealousy; and therefore the Co,.e' nation Oath exacts from the King an oath to maintain the laws elf Goa, the true profession attire Gospel, and the Protestant Reformed • s Religion established by law, line. (*) ' The state of the question with which I have been bon:stilted sups . . poses that the requisition now made Is a direct violation of the. Stature of 50 Car. IL It. 11. it certainly is ioconsistent with that Law; and if it shall be . yielded to, will, in effect, repeal it, though that law, *lien it was t made, was looked upon by the ' Legislature as necessary for the 1 more effectual preserving the King's person and Government, by i disabling Papists from sitting in either House of Porlianteet. Hon/ far that law still emulates a fence for the Church as by law eats. 4 1! bllshed, must be judged of by those who are to act oatthe proposed • • repeal, if such a measure should be brought forward. Those vbs. I • think It is an important and necessary part of the defence of the. O' ; s • Established Church, may also tblak.rhst the Coronado° Outlaws, i i meant to provide against the King's conserving to the repeal a foe • • I though an Act for repealing the Statute of Charles 11. would not i in itself break In upon the Established Church, yet it would Atilt. ' tate steps which might afterwards follow' for that purpose, as b y • this means Papists might constitute a majority of each lime of I Parliament. • • It cannot well pass observation, that the whole system of Laws, , • . as to the purpose of the present inquiry, was to guard against the t possible introduction of Popish Influence into any brooch of the d . e Legislature. As far as respects the Sovereign, it is guarded by , r the Oath be tahes; and with respect to the Houses of Parliatneot. V s by the declaration in SO Car. 11. . i . 1 • lam not aware what Clauses in the Intl of Rights are sup. poised to be broken in upon by what is suggested as likely to be I pr? I The Statute of IC and 13 W. e. 9. (t) shows • .the great anxiety • the Legislature then had to gaud against Popery. But here again I the question recurs, _how is she supreme power of the Coy win , boondl—The two Houses of Parliament are not under any pew. missory oath—that obligation has been extended to the Kiev only. i t This statute of Minato 111. has done no more se far as respects : r t the 'fascist question. than the former statutes bad done. Iv Ts' Paper I before sent stated, I believe, What then occurred, • r and an that at present occurs on the Statute of Union. .: 1 I Is short, the question resolves Itself to this:. Will the proposed . , , Act violate that Oath, which promises to maintain sod preserve is. , ✓ violably the underarm attic Church of England, and the doctrine ! 0. worship, discipline. and govennsent thereof, as it was, at the time!

AS grounds of wish apprehensions, if such thee 4I .; d really are, may be safely removed, if the late benefits' s which the a Petition admits. have not removed them, without endatgesing the t 1 I Established Church, or violating the Cosonatton Oath. o I will, out of anxiety, add our word more. It seems to me that • 1- the judgment of the person who takes the Coronation Oath mutt , il is determine whether any particular Statute proposed does destroy . • a the government of the Established Church? It seems that the Oath, 1 couched in the general terms in which it is found, does= preclude the party sworn from exercising a judgment whether that which be is bound to maintain will be essentially, or in any peat degree a affected by the proposed measure.
