OX, ORD CHANCELLORSHIP. Mr. EDtvoit—l have the honour to be a Gradu ate of the University of Oxford, and cannot be in different to the result of the present active canva►, tor the ClnuseeHoer Chair. With feelings, I flit ter myself, nut unworthy of a eon of Alava Miacr, I have endeavoured to call the attention of my to the claims of a Noble Peer, against whom the hacknied war-whoop of " Nu Polar' !" has again been raised, and the venerable walls of our l'4ll - defaced and disgraced, with an effrontery, surpassing indeed in fully that which inarhed the memorable epoch of the accession of Mr. PereLval and his friends to office, " 1114 MAjexty," we we►e then told by Mr. Per eeral, conceived hitn•elf bound by hit regarris.;:ir the e.tablishaients mid religion if his country. to di.a pose of the administration of his affair,' to tither hands than those so which it hod been lately entma ed." L 4.1 Grenville and his friends 'muted, with dutiful respect, to the 'toys' pleasure, and retired will, the self-graitulations of conscious rectitude.—. The ignrwauce of one class of their accusers, who Were pleased to deem Lord Dosetch's Bill " nit in- Iteration hostile to ee Estu6lislted CArivh," has been triumphantly exposed in Lord Grenville 's letter to Dr. Gasktii, the perusal of *hie!, I sincerely re commend to those who may have liken misled by a charge so inconsiderately made, and who may not hove adverted to the refutation. At the same time, I wish them to turn to the Act of the 14th July, 1204, passed under the auspices of Lord Eldon, as Lord Chancellor and Speaker of the House of Lords, hot who, fortunately, upon that occasion, escaped the animadversions of Dr. Gaskin. From the period of Lord Grenville 's retirement from office, as chaise of his political opinions has been manifested ; on the contrary, they have been re-urgell, with all the force of reason mid eloquence, in Parliament, throughout the session of IStift. Under th. sr circumstances, nevertheless, within the course of a from weeks, we have read the pressing overtures of Mr. Percevul to Lord Grenville and Lord Grey, Meiling them to resume the reins of Government !—This invitut iOn must either have 'wen transuaithql by Mr. rerceval at tlw spontaneous coin inutoil of Ills Majesty ; or it must have miaowed its the conviction of his own mind, that 'Lord (:rest tittle wee a person to wham the P , Urdia uship of" our establishments au Church and Mute" could be safety confided, and that the accession of his L ilsaiin roust necessarily add weight sod stability to His Majesty's councils. In this view, soil it ia impeeei ble to see it in any other, are we now to I* gravely told, that the subordinate interests of our Umversity are to be esteemed less safe in the halide of - Leal Grenville ill ni to those of either of his competi:ors? It is not my object. Sir, to enter into say *O tiose. comparison. of the claims of the respective candidates ; my purpose is rather to sup port what I reactive to be the just bias of Inv own opinions, by that description of authority which has perhaps the highest claim to deference on the question that has been an indiecreetly raised. The class of au• dimities which I consider MOW relevant. is that of distinguished Prelates mid Dignitaries of the Esta blished church ; but before I proceed to cite them, 1 must b: g to refer to the dm !amino of Mr. Pitt, on the debate on the 2511. of March, 0405: " 1 thought." said Mr. Pitt, " that such couceesions to Ills Majesty's Roelof. Catholic subjects Wight have befit granted, by an United Parliament, un der tech guards and ities for oar civil Mid ercksiastical emulation, as would entirely remove the danger which many apprehended might arise front so greats departure from the policy of former times ; as aould render the boon safe to the coun try, effectual to those ah, receired, innocent Is these by whole it was covferred, and conducive to the strength, smaninsity, and prosperity of the empire. —Stich were sty sentiments formerly, Nadi ore they Buse, if, from a concurrence of circutustatices, it were expedient now to grant them ; and if: by a wish, I could carry surfs a measure into cffeet, 1 ant ready to confess that I 146 1/0 MATIUII•L ÜBJ&C.-• VON." • Ise the debate in the House of Lords, on the same ilisestiun.

I will now, Sir, without soy comment, proceed to adduce a few of the recorded opinions of eminent Pride a. on the great political question, on which Loitl is considered to be at issue witlt competitors for the Chancellorship of this Univer sity. 14.
