PROTESTANT T a MEETING of PROTESTANT GEN. Governsopitg — thoestitlouanci of the Monarchy "efEefielta the Peenglielliiim_ of the Protestant Religion ; the maintenance of the Qbpr tof England.. as by law established; the security P of the midst lad undOubted Rights and Liberties ' end the et Allure face and Tran3uilllty, of this kingdom, d o (um* at Gen) entirely depend. 8. That, as by the laws of this kingdom, a Protestant Go. vernmeni has been declared essential for the continuation of the limited monarchy of this realm, and the security of the liberty of the subject, so we-consider, that, especially as the practice of Government depends so much upon the Ministers of the King, And upon the Parliament, it ever has been necessary, for the like that our Legislators—the patrons of our Protestant Church. the Mmnbers of the King's Privy Council, and the Great. Officers of the Executive Government, should pot be Roma Catholics. 9. That, since the period of the glorious Revolution, about which time those Acts of the Legislature were passed, we have , seen nothing in the character end f eatures o f t h e re li g i o n -of the I Romeo Catholics which can lead us to suspect the wisdom *mil policy of the principles upon which those salutary Acts wens founded ; or which have at any time hitherto rendered it expo% client or safe to abrogate them. On the other hand, we bellows that a different policy would have been full of danger; and wadi have ended in the subversion of the civil and religious libiledn/ of the country, and the destruction of, the Monarchy, and of our Protestant Establishment. • 10. That, as we have not yet witnessed any favourable altera tion or amelioration in the spirit of the Roman Catholic religion, so are we taught not to consider any such change at present as at all probable. On the contrary, it bps been stated by a writer of that persuasion, of considerable authority, that " If any one pre " tends to insinuate that cht modern Roman Catholics differ in " one iota from their ancestors be either deceives himself, or " wishes to deceive others." What their ancestors were we well know; and what themselves are, they . thus undisguisedly pro. claim. On this ground therefore we see that we have no more to expect from Roman Catholic ascendancy than our forefathers have found; and we have only to look back through the history of these realms to see what may be expected by Protestants from that religion which its partigans avow has never changed. 11. Tint we do not conceive the Roman Catholics, with the tenets which they hold, can, with safety to our Protestant Esta blishment, be admitted to further Political Power. The infem.l bility of general Councils, which may be revived under site in- fluence of our enemy; the power of the Romish Church, rating to a most extensive degree up on the authority of ministers of that religion, both in their appointment and cantles. *nee in office • and having the strongest influence upon the of their people:—the confiaing of eternal salvation tie these within the pale of their own church; and the imputing of the crime of heresy to Protestants ; for which crime the Romish Church claims the right to inflict the heaviest temporal punish ment ; these tenets, to this hour strenuously maintained by her , highest authorities, operate powerfully upon the body politic, and render it unsafe to entrust further political power to those who maintain them. And, bearing in mind, that the very adoption of such principles necessarily excludes the Toleration of other modes of faith, we conceive that the admitting to the higher offices of state, those who conscientiously hold those prin ciples, would greatly endanger, if not totally destroy, our Civil and Religious Liberties. 12. Thet, as we do not see that the restrictions by which the Rowan Catholics are excluded front the power of framing the laws, and administering the highest offices in the government of our civil and religious establishment, can with safety be abolish ed, so we utterly deny their Right to demand their Abolition.— Every State possesses a right to restrain whatever is dangerous to its security ; and no individual, or association of individuals, can maintain, as a claim of Right against the State, the relaxation of any restraint of which the continuance is required for the Safety of the Community. 13. That the existence of a Power who, to use the words of Mr. Locke, can not only " persuade the members of his Church , o whatsoever he lists, either as Purely religious, or in order Thereto; but can also enjoin it them oa pain of eternal fire," must always be dangerous to a state where its operation is ad mitted;.-but, to give further political immunities to persons, whose spiritual instructors and ministers can only receive their existence by such a power (whether vested in the person of the Pope, the Romish Church, or a General Council), would be uighly dangerous. 14. That, notvlithstanding the danger of Popery to the wel fare of this country, we are ready to allow liberty of conscience ',o those who profess it. We revere the principles of Religious Toleration, which serve at once to adorn and secure our Pro. tenant established Church ;—and we will ever support those principles while they are exercised in a manner compatible with the peace of the community; but in the den 111 dm of the ' Roman Catholics of Ireland we see nothing merely religious; indeed, their religious privileges are already so ample, end well secured, that they scarcely admit of farther extension, unless their Church I; to receive positive encouragement, and become the established religion of the kingdom. 15. That we should exceedingly lament if the rejection of the Claims of the Roman Catholics should occasion resistance to the laws, or be attended with alienation from the Government; but we are convinced that, if such would be the consequence of their rejection, their admission would be attended with consequences far more fatal to the empire at large, inasmuch as it would place the means of effectual mischief within the power of those whose supposed disloyalty would be again excited, should every future claim, however extravagant, not be admitted ; but we conceive that, from the clamour of those whose ambition interests them so powerfully in this question, it has received an importance of a more extensive quality than really belongs to it. The lower or ders of society have comparatively no interest in it. The adop tion of it would not ameliorate their condition. The Rich and PGwerful, or those in the immediate pursuit of riches and power, would alone reap the fruits of it; and, if persons of this descrip- , tion were to excite rebellion because they'are not rendered eli gible to possess political power, what would they not do, if they were disappointed in obtaining the power, after they had obtained the eligibility. 18. That, as the liberal and tolerant Concessions which have 'been made to the Roman Catholics during the reign of his pre. sent Majesty, with which they declared themselves at the tame to be fully satisfied, have rather served to excite than to allay discontent, and, instead of raising gratitude and attachment, have prompted them to demand as a Right the most extensive acces ,itin of political power, urged with great violence of language, we do not come ive t hat the concession of those claims would either increase their attachment to our Prcitestant Government, or add to the security or happiness of Ireland, or the Kingdom at large. 17. That acknowledging in the King, the power of negativing the appointment of Roman Catholic Bishops, is one of the lowest of those securities which the State has a right to demand, on the admission of Roman Catholics to further political power; hut they refuse to admit even this security, and positively deny the necessity of any other. In the Resolutions of the Meeting of the Catholics of the county of Dublin, held on the sth November, 1812, it was resolved, la That they deemed the idea of annexing " any conditions or restrictions to their emancipation, under the . "‘ name of securities, to imply a most unmerited insult to their '" allegiance, and to their understanding, and that such an idea had " originated with their worst enemies, far the mere purpose of " delaying the concession of religious freedom, which they claim " as a right, and ite concession of which they deem essential to " the safety of the country." Which Resolution we crsnskier be virtually.approved by the Roman Catholic Prelates (twenty.. eight in number), assembled at Dublin, lath November, 1812, in their Address - to the Clergy and Laity of the Roman Catholic; Churches in Ireland. We do therefore apprehend, that, as the principles of the Roman Catholics are now notorious to the world (and the onus probandi lies upon them to shew, from 44- ctent authority, if they are altered), no further inquiry is neces sary, till they have distinctly ,tatted the nature of those specific securities which they are willing to give on their admission to 'further political power. 18. '1 hat a Committee (with power to add to their num ber) be chosen to conduct the affairs of the Society, to frame regulations for its management, and to publish its proceed ings : and that a Subscription be now opened for those purposes.

XI TLEMEN, convened to consider the CLAIMP of the I&OMAN CATHOLICS, held at the Crown and Anchor Ta rp, in the Stratai, London, January 22, 1813, pRANVILLE SHARP, Esq. in the Chair. Mutt inforpiation on the subject of the Roman Catholic Claims wia communicated by different Gentlemen, and many in teresting and well-authenticated facts were stated, by which it *P.Peartd to the Meeting : 1. That the subject now under consideration is of the highest insportance to the welfare aced happiness of the United Kingdom •f Greaveritain and ireiand. 2. That, from the extetnive Information now received, ft is evident that much misapprehension prevails in this Country with respect to Ireland, and to the general Tenets and .`lralrit of the /Lamm Catholics in that part pf the Empite. 0. That the Claims of the Rpman Catisolics, together with the Principles and Rights of the Protestants, ought to be gravely tqad impartially brought before the Public I net with any party flews, ror in a spirit of • personal hostility, but of moderation Ippd godiwill ; not by exciting prejudice and alarm= against the Roman Catholics, but by circulating and eliciting such infor • ation as will show, whether their Claims can be conceded, cop : witty with the Safety of our Protestant State. 4. That, in prdtr to collect and diffuse Information on these Nip/ interesting topics, and at the same time to defend and apppost the Protestant Interest in these Realms, a Society should be ipstituted.on the basis of Civil and Religious Liberty, as re cognized by the British Constitution. The Meeting therefore Resolved to form a Society, to be en titled, THE PROTESTANT UNION, for the Defence and ?Import of the PROTESTANT RELIGION and the BRITISH k • NSTIIpTION I as established at the GLORIOUS REVO t 'LIMN, 1688. In order to declare the Sentiments of this Meeting, and the i .ci es upon which the Society is formed, it was Resolved, 11 4 r ; 3 it appears to this Meeting that the Roman Catholics ' : • as I Right, under the name of Catholic Emancipation, ..eteral of all laws and disabilities by which they are a ff ected . . ac °vitt of their religious tenets. This demand embraces not •nly the exercise of unlimited and uncontrolled religious liberty, .pt involves the grant of the most extensive Political Power.— he attainment of their object would enable the Roman Catho . to possess the patronage of the Church. of England. '1 hey mold be eligble to sit in Parliament ; to become Privy Conn- Mors to the King, and to exercise all the offices and patronage .f the highest derirtments of the Government of Fngland, as ell as Ireland, whether in Church or State; and indeed to fill he Throne itself, should the Crown descend to a person of the • man Catholic religion. 2. That we cordially admit the great Principle of the Protes nt religion, so amply recognized by our National Church, yhich allows every man to worship Gan after the dictates of s own conscience, provided he do not disturb, the peace of the omgnlspity. And we are ready to apply this principle, in its idlest extent, to .persons professing the Romap Catholic reli lop, But we have no proof, nor indeed cumpla:nt, that the ! man Catholics have not, for many years ! been fully secured the free exercise of their religion ; and we believe that the aisting laws afford theta ample protection in their religious pro- Op; and, consequently, as they are under no restraint of a eligious nature, their object can only be the removal of political rigtiong. Nevertheless, if the laws can be proved to be in. ufficient for this purpose, we will cheerfully support any mea ure necessary for Religious Toleration. S. That Political Power and Religious Toleration are matters sally distinct; the latter may be ptsfectly enjoyed without any erial portion of the former. 4. Thg, with regard to rendering the Roman Catholics eli ble to farther Political Power, 'the wisdom of that measure • lacipally depends upon its expediency and the degree of Safety • the State with Which it can be granted. s, That the Protestant Relgion is the great security of the Wolfe bappiness and welfare of thin country; for, as our civil 4 religious liberties have originated in, apd been preserved y, a Protestant Establishment, it appears to us that those in laahle blessings will flourish with its prosperity, and decline ith its decay : • i. That it has been the wise policy of our ancestors, who have erred and established those great principles of civil and reli . • igus freedom, whichkaviess , ntially contributed to the security, .rosperity, aril renown of this empire, to exclude. Roman Ca • olio from its government. 7. That it has bfen declared, by that Great Charter of our ivil liberties, the Bill of Rights, " that it hadbeen found by Frier.; • inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this Pro m* kingdom to be governed by a Popish Prince, or by any t . irg Or Ouevn marrying a Papist; therefore every person pro. easing the Popish religion, or who should !navy a Papist, shbuld • excluiLd from, and be incapable of, enjoying the eloyernment . f this realm and of Ireland.

Petersburgia, Jan. ISIS. I have the honour herewith to transmit to your Lordship copies of two Proclamations, together with a nominal list of the General Officers who have been taken prisoners by the Russian armies, which I have just received from Wilna, but which have not yet been published here. No further official intelligence of military - opera tions has been received here since my last.

(Signed) CATHCART. DECLARATION. At the moment of my ordering the armies under my command to pass the Prussian frcntier, the Em peror, my master, directs me to declare, that this step is to be considered in no other light than than as the inevitable consequence of the military operations. Faithful to the principles which have actuated his conduct at all times, his Imperial Majesty is guided by no view of conquest. The sentiments of moderation which have ever characterised his policy are still the same, after the decisive successes with which Diviva PROVIDENCE has blessed his legitimate efforts, Peace and indepen-. dente shall be their result. These his Majesty offers, together with his assistance, to every people, who, being at present obliged to oppose him, shall abandon the cause of N a p o l e o n , i n or d er to follow that of their real interest. I invite them to take ad vantage of the fortunate opening which the Russian armies have produced, and to unite themselves with them in the pursuit of' an enemy whose pre cipitate flight has discovered its loss of power. It is to Prussia in particular to which this invitation is addressed, It is the intention of his Imperial Ma jesty to put an end to the calamities by which she is oppressed, to demonstrate to her King the friendship which be preserves for him, and to restore to the Monarchy of Frederic its eclat and its extent. He hopes that his Prussian Majesty, animated by senti ments which this frank Declaration ought to pro duce, will, under such circumsances, take that part alone which the wishes of his people and the interest of his states demand. Under this conviction, the Emperor, my master, has sent me the most positive orders to avoid every thing that could bar. a spirit of hostility between the two powers, and to endeavouF, within the Pros.; sian provinces, to soften, as far as a state of war will e ermit, the evils which for a short time, must result from their occupation. (Signed) • PRINCE KOUTODbOIPF B:443LENsito, The Marshal Commander in Chief of the Armies. PROCLAMATION.. When the Empercr of AU the Russias was corn -pelled, by a war of aggression, to take arms for the .defence of his States, his Imperial Majesty, from the accuracy of his combinations, was enabled to form an estimate of the important results which that war might produce with respect to the independence of Europe. The most heroic constancy, the greatest sacrifices, have led ,to a series of triumphs, arid when the Commander in Chief, Prince Koutousotf Smo lensko, led his victorious troops beyond the Niemen, the same principles still continued to animate the Sovereign. At no period has Russia been accustomed to prac tise that art (too much resorted to in modern wars), of exaggerating, by false statements, the success of her arms. But, with whatever modesty her details might now be penned, they would appear incredible. Ocular witnesses are necessary to prove the facts to France, to Germany, and to Italy, before the slow progress of truth will fill those countries with mour ning and consternation. Indeed it is difficult to conceive, that, in a cam paign of only four months duration, one hundred and thirty thousand prisoners should have been taken from the enemy. besides nine hundred pieces of can non, forty-nine stand of colours, and all the waggon- train and baggage of the army, A list of the names of all the Generals taken is hereunto annexed. It will be easy to form an esti mate, from that list, of the number of superior and subaltern o ffi cers taken, It is sufficient to say, that out of three hundred thousand men, (exclusive of Austrians,) who pene, trated into the heart of Russia, not thirty thousand of them, even if they should be favoured by fortune, will ever revisit their country, The manner in which the Emperor Napoleon re passed the Russian frontier; can assuredly be no longer a secret to Europe. Sp much glory and so many advantages, cannot, however, change the per sonal dispositions of his Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias. The grartd principles of- the indepen dence of Europe have always Formed the basis of his policy, for that poli c y i s fi x ed in his heart. It is beneath his character to permit any endeavours to be made to induce the people to resist the oppres sion, and to throw off the yoke • - has weighed which them down for twenty years. lt is their Goiern. ments, whqse eyes ought to be opened by the actual situa;ion of France, ages may elapse befcie an opportunity equally favourable again presentk itself, and it wauld be an abusl of the spu,dpess of Pitoymabica not to take ad vantage of this reconstruct t4O great work of the equilliAms of Europe, and deeneby to inser t public tranquillity and fidividnal happiness.

Eagle, if Ancona, Sept. t 3, lal t, SIR—I have to acquaint you, that having 4ncho. red this ship on the 16th Instant, in consequence cf calms, off Cape Maistro, I directed the First Lieute. nant, during the night, to lie off the Cape with the three barges, to intercept the enemy's coasting trade; and that on the following day I weighed and ancho. red off the Po, where I was joined by the barges, with two gun-boats and fifteen vessels laden with oil, each vessel carrying from a six to an eight-pounder, which had been captured by the boats that day : the particulars of this gallant affair reflect the greatest honour on the men and officers employed in it. In the morning, a convoy of twenty-three sail, with two guirboats, were perceived standing towardsGoro, - which, on the barges approaching, drew up in line of battle, under cover of a four-gun battery, and the breach lined with armed people, with the two gun. boats advanced in their front. Lieutenant Cannon, with the whole of his small force, instantly attacked, and carried the largest boat, and turned her guns upon the convoy, whilst he performed the same manoeuvre, with equal success, on the second, and then directed his attention to ti :e convoy, which, after some resistance, struck their CO. lours, excepting two who made their escape. Not being able to man all of them, six were burnt, to prevent their falling into the hands at the enemy, When I consider, Sir, the strong pcisition the enemy were in, each vessel carrying a heavy gun, besides musketry,. Ander the prcitectlon of two gun. boats, flanked by a fort, and that the shallowness of the channel occasioned our boats to be frequently aground, while rowing up to make the ytack, I feel I should neither be doing my duty nor justice to my own feeling, were 1 not to recommend most strongly to your notice the officers employed on this service; and sorry am I that this recommendation can no longer benefit Lieutenant Cannon, who died of his I wounds on the 22d. In the death of this gallant young man the conn. try has loit one of its most promising officers, and I have deeply to regret the loss of a most valuable and tried first Lieutenant. He has left two brothers, midshipmen on board the ship, one of uhom has served his time, and passed his examination for a Lieutenant, and has also frequently distinguished himself in action. _ _ _ A list of the killed and wounded hare the liononq of enclosing.

His majesty's ship Bacchante, at each% off Revigno, September 1, i Sit. Sta—Having received information that several ves, sets were lading with ship-timber for the Venetian Government, at Port Lema, on the coast of Istria, I yesterday evening detached the boats of this ship, under the direction of Lieutenant O'Brien, First Lieu. tenant, to bring them out, which I am happy to say he completely effected, though they were lying under the protection of one French zebeck of three guns, and two French gun-boats. Lieutenant O'Brien received information of this unexpected force of the enemy from two merchants vessels be captured at the entrance of the port, and who stated their force to be very superior co hit own; notwithstanding this, he proceeded to the attack, and very gallantly carried them by boarding, as well as the timber-vessels. At day-light I had the plearam of seeing the whole of this division of the enemy, and their convoy of ;even vessels, coming towards the ship. I am happy to say, this service has been executed without any loss on our parts, which I consider as chiefly owing to the arrangements of Lieut. O'Brien, the gallantry and promptitude with which holed the boats to the attack, and the brave determined sup, port he received from those under his command. He speaks in high terms of Lieutenant Gostling, Third Lieutenant, Lieutenant Haig, of the Itoyalifarine and the officers and men under his orders in the dit• ferent boats, for their gallantry and coolness. The enemy's force consisted of la Tisiphone, F rench national xebeck, of three guns, one ti-pounder and two 9-pounders, and 28 men ; gun-boat No. 1, one 9-pounder, two 9-pounders, and 24 men; gun-boat No- 2, one 9-pounder and 20 men ; intended for the protection of the trade on the coast of Istria from Pole to Trieste.—l have the honour to be, atc, (Signed) W. klosrr, Captain* Row-Admiral Fremantle, etc.. yta IttlimY's ship Bacchante, Sept.
