Government of Ireland was a measure of painful necessity. The gallant conduct of the Noble Martinis during the war has endeared bins to every Briton, and the termination of his ministry in Dublin is every way to be lamented; bat nothing has more strongly mani- felted the bold sod uncompromising rotors of the pre sent Administration than this decisive conduct of the Noble Paw= ; it has. iniassible t incetased the cod deuce of the country, and we may add, of theSovrastos, and disappointed the hopes of the factious. None could more sincerely , than ourselves respect the Nelle Mar quis; but we are among those who, while they deplore the necessity, congratulate the country on an act of the Government which holds nut to the Pr testants of. the United Kingdom fresh assurances that their security shall not be endangered by false notions of liberality, nor by the weakness or indiscretion of a person in power. The following is a copy of are letter from the Marquis of Aprotassir to Di. CURTIS, who had com municated to hisEscellency the correspondence between the Duke of WELLINGTON and himself, the Catholic Archbishop liscenis Path, Dec. 23, 1822. Moir Rsv. Silt—l hasten to acknowledge the r ceipt of your letter of the 22d, covering that which you received frosts the Duke of W summon, of the 11th install., together with a copy of your answer to it. I thank you for the confidence you have re posed in me. Your letter gives me information upon a subject of , the highest interest. I did not know the precise sentiments of the Duke of Wtxtutoxon upon the present state of the Catholic Que.- tion. Knowing it, I shall venture to offer my opinion upon the' course that it behoves the Catholics to pursue. Perfectly "conH vinced that the final and cordial settlement of this great question can alo e give peace, harmony, and prosperity to all classes of his Ma'am's subjects in this Kingdom, I must acknowledge my disappointment on learning that there is no prospect of its being effected during the ensuing Session of Parliament. I, how_ ever, derive some consolation from observing that his Grace is not wholly adverse to the measure ; h r Ulm can be induced to promote it, he, of all men, will have the greatest facility in carrying it into I effect. If lam eo in this opinion, it is obviously most important that the Duke of Writtisaveni should be propitiateci; that no ob. stacks that can by possibility be avoided should be thrown in his way ; that all personal and offensive insinuations should be sup pressed; and that ample allowance should be made for the M. acuities of his situation. Difficult it certainly is, for he has to over come the very strong prejudices, and the interested motives of many persons of the highest influence, as well as to allay the teal alarms of many of the morel ignorant Protestants.. I diffe r from the opinion of the Duke, that an attempt should be made to " bury in oblivion" the question for a short time. Firsts because the thing is utterly impossible; and next, because, if the thing were possible, I fear that advantage might be taken of the pause, by representing it as a panic achieved by the late violent re action, and by proclaiming that if the Government at once and peremptorily decided against concession, the Catholics would cease to agitate, and then all the miseries of the last years . of Ireland will be to be re-acted. What I do recommend is, that the measure should not be for a moment lost sigheof —that anxiety should con tinue to be manifested—that all conslitalhotal (in contradistinction to merely legal means should be resorted to, to forward the cause; but that at the same time the most patient forbearance, the most submissive obedience to the laws, should be inculcated; that no personal and offensive language should be held towards those who oppose the claims. Personality offers uo advantage ; It effects no good; on the contrary, it offends, and confirms predioposed aver sion. Let the Catholic trust to the justice of his cause—to the growing liberality of mankind. Unfortunately, he has lost some frituds, and fortified his enemies, within the last six months, by unmeasured and unnecessary violence. He will soonest re cover from the present stagnation of his fortunes by showing more temper, and by trusting to the Legislature for redress.— Brute force, he should be assured, can effect nothing. It is the Legislature that must deciJe this great question; and my great anziely is, that ; it should be met by the Parliament under the most favourable circumstances, and that the opposers of Catholic Eman cipation shall be disarmed by the patient forbearance, as well as by 1 1 the unwearied perseverance of its advocates. My warm anxiety to promote the general interests of this country is the motive that Ma l ii.duced ate to give an opinion and to offer advice. I have the honour, &c. (Signed) ANGLESEY. To the Most Rev. Dr. Curtis, &c. &c. Mr. SuJuL has indulged the electors of Louth with the tich promise, that whenever Roman Catholics are eligible to Parliament, he will 'ask for their “ sweet voices." Happy county, to possess the anticipation of such advantage as must accrue from the orator's ad dresses to the English people. He, we are informed, has no more connection with L'wth titan a Mussolman with New York, or a Chinese astrologer with an Eng lish coachman. As to land, he does not possess one acre ; as to a residence, not a peasant's hovel in it. He has never been even a ►ojourner in the county. But sedition mak-s demagogues citizens of the world. and treason entitles its promulgators tt the franchises of a mob corporation. Intagin try ills have erected, on the subversion of the natural ranks of society, a revo lutionary confedetacy in Ireland. He that is wildest in speculation, and most intemperate in language, is the favoured brother of the Junto. He who dares most, will best succeed. He who has the presumption to ac knowledge the value lie places on his own merits, wilt outride in the r of promotion or of honour, him who has the genius to be =Jct., and that loftiness of mind which beget, Lumility. In such a ftl'C • f we naturally expect to find such per.oas as Mr. Surat.. We shall not condescend to examine the course of his wild exertions to produce discontent and alarm I but to inquire Into the state of &she feeling, that imparts to him au ephemeral notoriety, may be initruct ve. The means which are within the reach- of any ad ventuter to foment sedition, cannot be wholesome 14. constitutional. If the original division f power into the One Estates nere wise, the impairing the active pod of any one if them is an invasion of the principle, •nd theretote subversive of it. The benefit derived from the cheque which one btatich in the Legislature has on the other, keeps each in the proper direction of its intended utility. If the Monarch is a tyrant, and his tyranny is permitted unconttoulled to be excited, the Aristocracy arid the People ate tl e implements by hick he works his designs, and not impediments, as they ought to be, to the election of his illegitimate sway. And if, even in political affairs not immediately connected with their legislatiie capacity, these three Estates have not each their full operation, error has crept into the system. If the Aristocracy have full sway in re:inning Members to Parlianien't, and the People have no real fiet.fom in their own poke of a Rep/misusage, the system has lost its sanative excel lence of a division of power. And if the lowest des scripticin of the people have t! e supremacy in returning Members to serve in Pidliame t, neither property, nor intolligeisee, nor commerce, ni.r agricelture, ate rep te. voted; but the fury and theignocaatt of a mob, mod mg Me Park, have engroistd one division of this pow er to themselves, contrary to the osiginal intention. no influence of this disorganization is not limited to the state of society which engeAdeted it. The evil will soon spi cad to the Assembly of Coo ncilli.rs themselves' For the measures of a .it b Parliament will not be sanc tioned by an A. istocratic H 'use of Lords: dissension must creep in upon their wisdom, and suits the fortunes of the empire. This reasoning is peculiarly applicable to the state of society in Ireland. If the forty shilling freeholders are not disfranchised, the mob—a Popish mob, guided by Popish Priests—will return ninety Aleinheis out of the hundred from Ireland. The Atistocracy have los t their jurisdiction—talent has no voce—agriculture has no ear—commerce has no eye., in legnlating the deci sions of this mob. An eruption of all the *lefts of so ciety has scattered their privileges to the is ind—the landlord has no sway—the friend no conttoul—the neighbour no advice, that can unfater the prisoned mind of this blind populace. It may be replied, that we have stated our position in terms too strong. when us have attributed such in fluence to these Members so selected in Ireland ; but, as in out observations t.f Friday about the Church in Ire. land, we built the safety of the Establishment in Eng land on the uninvaded possessions of the firmer, we now apply the same reasoning to the present case. If a Democracy be established in Ireland, as in effect it will be without the disfranchisement of the forty shilling freeholders. WILL THE PEOPLE PE ENGLAND BE CON TENTED WITHOUT RADICAL REFORM? No man, in his senses, can deny the truth of this last sentence. Let it speak trumpet-tongued to this Piotestant land.— We wish Mr. Sinn good morning, and we shall con gratulate him as M.P. for Louth, when Roman Ca• tholics are eligible to Parliament, and forty shilling fteeholders in possession of their present sway—when mobs are the people, and Priests are permitted to con tinue their political guide. I The Paris Papers by Is t night's express e ntain no information on any subject of intermit. They are nearly filled with addresses to the KINO. agreeable to custom on the termination of the old and commencement of the new year. The only articles worth extracting will be found under the usual head in our front page. A Flanders mail, of which extracts will be found in another page, came to hand lag night. A great depot of arms has, it is said, been formed at Kieff. in Southern Russia, whence it is inferred shat the enbuing spring campaign will commence early. Lisboa Gazelles to the 23d ult. sere received last night. They contain a Bulletin, signed by the Piy. %icians, announcing the complete recovery of Don MIGUIL ; the limb, it is said, is united without any de formity.

At the present moment, when so much is said about bankers and banking business, the following anecdi.te of a deceased member of the craft may not be unaccept able. Those persons who were well" acquainted with the facetious old Knight, and there are many living, will vouch for its authentic ty or Th e l ate Sir M— always used to say, D—n banking l I hate banking. When I was a banker I never slept soundly, and there never was a. day I was not afraid of stopping payment.' " Some years ate, he failed he used to tell humour nui stories of the numerous escapes his bank had had from time to time ; take the following as a specimen— ' One afternoon; said he, just as we acre shutting up for the day, at five o'clock, our head ca bier came run ning to me, and said, " Lord, Sir, here's a man just come in with a cheque for 5401. and I do not know what to do, we have only 5001. and a little silver and copper in the till." Ohl said I, never mind ;do you close the doors, and tLen run out and borrow forty pounds, and keep the chap in jaw; and so ue saved the bank that night. Next morning, luckily, a customer paid in, as soon as we opened shop, two thousand pounds, which made all right. The fatal day, however, was to come, and come it did. with a vengeance ; we were run upon most unexpectedly, and, long before I had breakfasted, the house was shot up, and a large mob was round the doors. For a lag time I mild not account for it—at last it came across me like a Bash of lightning. We bad, only a week or two before we stnpiad, taken in a new clerk to replace one that had died, and the cashier, when he went to dinner, by mistake left him at the counter. The chap was a Tork.hireman. and at once saw bow things were. and, not having been used to our ways, he told some friend, that friend told a third, and so we were run out. Ttris, however, I will say for all the other clerks—we paid them well, dined them well mice a week, they knew our secret, and kept It for full ten long years,. My first toast after dinner always was—l D—is Hanlon! Curse Banking? I3—t Ranking! and the next was, to the clef ks, 1.11) site, Gays, heat s sa l and say nothing r"
