.1/ THE CATHOLIC CAUSE. The following is the copy of a letter sent by P. Moore* Roil. M.P. to Edward Hey, El. Capri- Meet, Dublin:— • " MY DEAS have your kind favour of • , the *7th, as to the subject of Catholic Emanci pation* and " soy dread or the re-esta.diolneent • . of the Inquisition."

Relinquish the isropetty, mid. as they have ever been most Linda/gnat towards sinners of all Lees, they will nut scruple to relinqui•li both prayer and preaching, av in other times; and the compronebse will "never be in danger of being in the least disturbed. Let me ask you, fairly and °pestle, die you Hut thick and iwbeve, that if year Priesthood had the aseem dainty. they would met. as to the rent-roll, ju.t as any other l'riesthooil, even our., dues, and strive to keep all awl every thing exclusively to themselves ? 1 argue it. as I really feel it—e queatiou or property ; harasser ill the limited comport between Slate and Church is at all 'WI, is troth, in every part of the world ; the venerated church. the ancient co-partner of stale in times of ignorance, I lament to tibia, is folk') to the degraded condition of the dependent and corrupt slave of the State—l mean. the poli tical State; and all the sanctity of an Archbishop, with all his former participation of power, might, unsje.tv, and dominion. now reduced to the de graded born of the holder of a corrupt political office layman for corrupt party purposes of his own, is not, in these times, one tenth part so formid ehle in all his costumier, paraphernalia as a ragged constable with a greasy staff in a country village. What. then, is to be apprehended front your Emancipation? The Inquisition! Folly in the ex treme ! Nonsense ! Inquisition is but a gaol ; sod without your Emancipation, we have im many gaol., end, in my humble opinion. such diogracrful user made of them, that we need not fear Catholic Emancipation would mill either to the number of gaols, or increase the abuses of them. Nor, nerd you examine this point on this side the water. Your own vicinity affords more coarse evidence thaw is anjllcieat for the honorer and integrity of both ; and all the waters of the Shannon and the Liffey, the Thames and the Medway, can never purify either from the everlasting downier imposed by the long panted for milleanium Vibe 1911 i century after the payment of too thousand millions of money to purchase it.—Then, my good Sir, let us not he terrified any longer about the loss of religion, that constant political theme of imposition fur fraud wed devastation amongst poliiiciane. both Proles. LOOS mid Catholic.. Religion is planted in the heart of man. rod man cameo tear it from him, whether politician or priest. If it he not in the limit, it is 110 where; and if iu die heart, it coo only be sacrificed or by the possessor lintioellt it is out of the reach both of politician and rivet, and securely in the custody of its owls natural breast. You are a Catholic, I mu a Pro testant. You would not exchange your religion with me; nor would I with you and if we did attempt it. I du not know that either of us would benefit by it. I feel that we could not ; but if property, that tangible mint of all evil, were the object. we might both profit by an eythange....your land for my gold, or my gold for your lend; either might suit us both be neficially. In this, there might be good sense, wisdom, and honour, to be applauded, amongst the occurrences of imenkind. But, what arrant fouls we should be declared. if we met to exa change our religious persuasions....your C a th o li c i sm he my Protestantism. or *kg verso. '4 Your reli gion for yourself, mine for myself," said the literal Heathen. a• We are both beggars for the same bounty." So say I, my good Sir. It is NlS cient that I can answer fur myself. like every other human creature. I would not wish to see a con vert but on his own perfect conviction. much less would I punish for the secret feelings and vihratious of the heart, in its namesl and sacred commune with the Creator of menkiod, who endowed the heart with him own virtue end free will, ogee and ages before crafty priests and wily politicians in vented vicious projects to deprive human nature of both. I feel no disposition to dictate to you, a Catholic, any st stew of religion. I will not ; and I will take equal and special care that you shall nut so dictate to me, a Protestant. Titus, both sincere, we must be agreed : and, thus, both Ca tholics and Prutestanti ought to be agreed. Front whom, then, are we to dread the terrors of revived inquisition ? Inquisition is the technical term of gaol amongst religionists: gall is the technical term of an inquisition amongst politicians : but the detention, the oppression, the miseries of both are au very much alike, that they cannot revile each other; and I think heretic and persecution just as applicable to. the one as to the other : us the heretic in polities, is as criminally treated as the heretic in religion ever was by the Dominicans, the cruelest Order' f Monks : and, I believe, for the very same vicious and corrupt purpose. The nineteenth cen tury may proceed with more forms than the eleventh m.d twelfth, but does tot inflict less clime, less htuominy, ouless misery. Property holes' valuable, or rather more plentiful than it was in the earlier periods of human sufferings; but human nature is not snore spared by the voracious pangs of tyranny, penecntion. and incLoisitioo, under its politic') de um oinatioo.

I offer you no opinion for the exclusive question of Catholic Einancipotiois. My attachment and devotion is to the State, of which I um • faithful subject, and my mind is thus engaged. It is for the exclusive benefit of the State that I advocate your Emancipa tion, not for your religion, for in that, be it right. or be it wrong. you are not interrupted; but that you may be under the same law as you are under the same God, exercise ass equal right of guardian ship over your *an property, 44 introduce the powerful weight of your masculiM minds and ma. issfuld virtues into the service of the State. By tins, the Catholics may be served, but, I know, that the State will k served. Whet the number of my remaining days of sojourn here mar he, I do not Calculate. Of that lam quite iadifferent, so far as regards thyself ; but, be those days many or few, I do not tlnnk I shall hastily change my sentiments on throe several points auy more than my religion • nor homily cease to esteem the real pressmen for his undaunted, firm. and unwearied perseverance in the honourable, virtuous, mud righteous pursuit of the everlastingtreve of religious feuds. All I can add is. go oar, %yid' coutinurd honour mod undeviating dignity, in the true spirit of my family motto—el Resolve well, persevere"— under the influence of which our elation has exten sively benefited. from personal service, and the common enemy felt the irresistible streugth of its vigour. • "My dear Sir, " Yours. ever faithfully, " P.

The husbandman is in honour there, and even the mechanic, because their employments ere use. fol. The people have • saying, that 4 ' God Al mighty I • self is a mechanic, the greatest in the usiserrse, and he is respected and admired more for the variety, ingenuity, nod usefulness of his handy. works, than fur the antiquity of his family." They are pleased with the observation of a Negro, and frequently mention it, that Buccarorra (meaning the white men) make de black men workee, make de horse workee, make des ox worker. tusk* de every ting workee, only de hog. He, de hog, no workee, lie eat, he drink. lie walk about. he go to sleep !lieu he please, he libb like a geotkowat." According to these opinions of the Americans. one of them would think himself more obliged to a ge nealogist who could prove for him that his slicer tors and relations for ten generations haul been ploughmen, smiths, carpenters, turners, wearers, tanners, or even shoemakers, and consequently that they were useful members of society, than if he could only prove that they were gentlemen, doing nothing of value, but living idly on the labour of others, mere /rages eansttotere oast*, and otherwise good for nothing, till, by their death, their estates. like the carcass of the negro's gentleman-hog, come to be ter sp. With regard to encouragements for strangers, they are really only what are derived from good laws sod liberty. Sinnigere are welcome, because there is room enough fur them all, and therefore the old inhabitants are nut jealous of them ; the laws protect them sufficiesitly. so that they have no heed of the patronage of great men ; and every one will enjoy securely the profits of his industry. But if he does not bring a fortune with him, lie must work and be industrious to live. Out or two years' residence gives him all the rights of a citi zen ; but the Government does not at present, whatever it may have done in former times, hire people to become settlers, by paying their pass:ogee, giving lands, 'legroom. utensils, stock. or any other kind of emolument whatever. In short, America is the land of labour. and by no means what the Eng. lish call Labberhasd, and the French Pays de Co mps', where the streets are said to be peed with half-peck loaves, the houses tiled with poucakes, amid where the fowls By about ready-roasted, crying " Come est use I" Who then are the persons to whom an emigration to America may be advantageous And what are the advantages they may reasonably expect ?

A little money saved of the good wages they receive there while they work for others, enables them to boy the land. and begin their plantation. in which they are assisted by the good will of their neighbours and some credit. Multitudes of poor people from England. Ireland, Scotland, and Germany, have by this means, in a few years, become wealthy farmers, who, in their own countries. where all the lands are fully occupied, and the wages of labour low, could never have emerged from the mean con dition wherein they were born.

There they may be taught, sad prac tice profitably, mechanic arts, without iucurring disgrace on that account; but, on the contrary, acquiring respect by such abilities. There small capitols laid out on lands, which daily become more valuable by the increase of people, affords • solid prospect of onside (odours thereafter for those children.

Lly Called the Congress. • ' • • ' • Several of the Princes of Europe having of late years, from an opinion of advantage to arise by producing all. commodities sad manufactures with in their own dominion.. so as to diminish, or ren der useless their importations. have endeavoured to entice workmen from other countries by high sa laries, privileges, he. Many persons pretending to be skilled in various manufactures, imagining that America must be in want of them, and that Congress would probably be disposed to imitate the Princes above mentioned. have proposed to go over, on condition of having their passages paid. lands given, salaries appointed, exclusive privileges for terms of years. &c. &c. Such persons, on rending tile Articles of Confede ration. will Ilia that the Congress have no power committed to them. or money pot into their fiends for such purposes; and that if asny such encourage. ment is given, it must be by the Government of soine separate State. This, however, has rarely been done in America : and when it has been done. it bra rarely succeeded. so as to establish a manu facture which the country was not yet so ripe for as to encounter private persons to get it up, labour being geoerolly too dear there, and hands difficult to be kept together, every one desiring to be a master, and the chemisess of lands inclining many to leave trades for agriculture.

COUNTY K I IDA RP'S ESSIONS. At the Sessions held at the town of Kildare, in and for the county, David 'FleiuiuK, innkeeper, was arraigned on an indictment, charging hiw with an assault and battery on George &rani, Gentleman. Mr. Mile Nally stated the case, in which he de scribed the offence to be an as-autt and battery of a most atrocious nature, committed by an athletic unfeeling man out Mr. Evans, an unotfending youth. He understood that a jonstifiesition of the battery was to be set up, but a mere assault was no jestilication of rancour, rage, stud cruelly. It would appear that Mr. Evros, without any cause, was dragged from his horse upon the pavement at Momistereven, anti without airy provoentiou given by him, was beat, kicked and trampled upon in so inhuman a mtwner, that in some bite nfier he was afflicted with a violent inward bleeding and n fever on the brain, which threatened a cost. sumption. Mr,- Evans deposed that he was a collector of rents, mud other motors, fur the Mews. Boomers, proprietors of publ►c coaches, and had. by their dace lion. canted a carriage that used to stop at Fleming's Itt t t at Monastereven, to stop at another lon, more convenieut to the passettgerti. That on the day laid in the indictment, as he was riding on a high horse iu the town. without stick or whip, the Prisoner Caine up to him, and asked " Yaw dore you interfere in my fussiness?" called him a scoun drel, • rascal, and other opprobrious narnes. That being irritated at suck abuse. he turned round his horse. to inquire iuto the cause, when the Prisoner seised hint by the leg, and attempted to throw him off the horse; that in order to sloe himself, be got his arms round the Isbriel neck. when the Prisoner, with his clenched fist, struck him repeatedly on the face, injoreil his eye, and caused a quantity of blood to flew From his nose; that lie then pulled him from the home by the collar of Isis coat, and as he lay prostrate and helpless ou the ground, kicked him and trampled on him, until he was rescued by a strange young gentleman, and brought into ■ shop. where he was bled. Ile described the conse quential illness which lie had suffered wider, and swore Dr. Ireland imputed it to the ill usage under which he haul suffered. _ Oii this gentleman's cross-esseuinatinn hy Mr. Thorpe, an attorney, he positively denied that he had spit in Fleming's face previous to his being beaten; or that lie had env design to run his horse and push him inoiliat Fleming, at the time he turned• him round. Mr. Thorpe slated a case for the Defendant, the object of which was to justify the batter) by skew ing a previous assault, vied called Mr. Duane. a shopkeeper in the town. This witness admitted all the facts sworn to by Mr. Evans; hut was positive that he, when stooping down from his horse, spit in the Prisoner's face. Another witness was called to the same fact ; he also admitted the beating of Mr. EMI!, which he called " a sound ',egging ;" and, on his cross-ex ' amiaation, acknowledged he could 'sot be positive to the spitting, in consequence of the situation in which he (witness) was placed. The defence war rebutted by a woman, who po •itivrly swore that Mr. Evans did not spit at the Prisoner, and that he cupid not spit at him with. out her seeing it. The Chairniati stated the law t he admitted that an assault did not constitute a battery—but to spit in a man's face was a battery. and would justify the blows. The pond depended on the credit giveu to the witness, and this he left to the Jury. The Jurv, after long con►ideration, returned • verdict of 0144; and on the mkt day the Court sentenced the Prisoner to pay the Prosecutor lU. coats, a nominal hue to the Crown, and to remain in gaol till the same was paid, with the consequen tial fees. COMMUNICATION WITH ENGLAND. (From the Dublin Freeman's Journal I We have just seen a report or the state of the roads between London and Shrewsbury. It is ably draws. up, and serves to throw considerable light upon the difficulties which prevent the arrival .•f' the mails at Holyhead, in due time to be forwards ed to this country sufficiently early for their Ma. pinch, by the evenin►t coaches, to the interior.— ludependently of the inconvenience suffered by ha. vellera, and persons residing et s distence from the metropolis, in consequence of their tinn•arrival previous to the hour st which liar country mails leave Midis., a very serious injury arises from the delay, both to the mercantile world and the Proprietors of Newspapers, as it rarely oceurs that the ►ua:l comes iu before stereo ti dock et night, *hick being towiato:ror delivery, dh.• elicit is not much benefited by knowing that Itttrr. have urrived for him, which will not come to b•aA before the usual post hour next morning ; and t., Those concerned iu the public pteav, iintead being a service, it is a positive inconvenience to receive English papers so' late, as the arratigemenis for the next day's publicatioh• are, usually, almost completed by that time, and the receipt of London Jourpsla very frequently renders wholly ostler ar rangements which had previously cost touch labour. By the arrival of the mails before right Wel, iii the evening, .all these dillculties would he ....- tartly rctrioved ; the Engirli and fureign litter• nod popery would im on their progremi through tht: cutrufry several hours sooner than Is till' e.i.e sent. The delivery might take place the saint! evening in the city, by which the mercantile world would be greatly benefited ; and the conductirs of .public prints would receive their papers in suffi. tient time to allow every arrangement for the fol lowing day's publication to be duly attended to. To return to the report which has elicited the fore. going rsmarka, it very ably points out the irljudi clots* methods of road-making between London and Shrewsbury, snit plaioly.shews that the defect in the line of communication is to be attributed rather to the want - on. the part of the surveyors and engineer., than to any deficiency either of money or materials. It appears that the general plan, except in a few instances, is to overlay the road with a miXture of clay and gravel, whit► makes the way elnicist impala:LlAO! in wet weather, the very best horses being ul able to give a proper draught through such heavy roads. The roads through Wales will voo►t he suf. ticiently good to admit the trait to travel at the rate of eight wiles an hour; and if the trustees of the English part of the road were to use sufficient acti vity to allow of the same rate of travelling, there is no doubt but the mails would arrive at Hal)head iii sufficient time to reach Dublin before the depar ture of the country coaches. The time at present required for conveying the mail from London to Holyhead is 38 hours. This enables the packet to leave Holyhead at 10 a. es. which gives only ten hours fur the arrival of letters in time for the d►lpar ture of the Irish mails. If the English part of the road were sufficiently improved to permit thotitilitat at the rate of eight miles an hour, the consequence would be, that the mails would arrive at Holyhead at six a.m. and whenever the wind was fa►r the packet would be in Dublin soon enough to admit of tho Dublin letters being received and answered that evening, and the country letters could be dispatch ed by _the Dublin mail coaches. The great I Ai: culty seems to lie in the different Turnpike Acts vetoing powers in the Commissioners of the different Boards. which seem not to produce the intended effects. It would be well if some legislative re gulations were made to ensure a coustnnt control over the proceedings of the surveyors, twisted by the advice of able engineers and experienced rood. makers. It is Mated, that good materials can be easily procured along the entire line, and it w►ll be readily allowed, that there is no want of pecuniary resources, when the sum of 36,000/. is received is tolls between London and Shrewsbury annually. 01 skill, MURDER. [FROM A PARIS PAPUJ A horrible murder was committed on the morn. ing of the I.3th, on the person of a woman named Vignon, an innkeeper at Chatillon, a village about a league from Paris, and on her female servant. Vigiton, a mason by trade, was absent in Paris, where he resides during the working season. On tha evening previous to the assassination, the unhappy woman had permitted a man, named Foulard, a chasseur of the guard, to sleep in her house. Sitspi. ciotis arose against this individual, in consequence of there being some•Jrops of blood on his clothes. a recent wound on his hand. and a gold watch in his possession which belonged to the woman Vignon. Foulard, however, attempts to explain these sus picious circumstances in this manner had, he rays, been drinking part of the evening with some persons whom. he did not know, and having teat himself down half drunk, he fell into a ;narrow' sleep. Awakening in the morning he could not see his sabre, and searching fJr it through the house he found it quite bloody. lit wiping it lie cut him. self. He declares that it was by chance he found the watch, which probably the robbers had dropped after perpetrating the murder. Foulard, however, has beets committed to time Abbaye, aid will be tried by a Council of War. PRICE OF STO Rank Stock 273 3 per Ct. Red 764 3 per Ct.
