A Meeting of the Freeholders of this County took place on Wednesday, on the Claitus of the Roman Catholic►. Mr. cALLEY, M : P. for Cricklade, who signe%i there quisition, moved the following Resolution : That an Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince • Regent, and Petitions to both houses of Parlikment) praying that no al » terations whatever, : under the present circum stances, aright by made in the laws which relate . to the Roman Catholics." Lo r d ANDOVER, after the motion had been se conded .by Mr. HARDING, rose to oppose it, and concluded by moving, as an Amendment, an Ad dress to the. House of Commons, which, in sub stance, expressed-, " The reliance of the county on the decision of Parliament,• and a conviction, that the delibe- . rative. faculties of the Legislature are fully ade qttie to devise a comprehensive settlement equally conducive to the peace .of the United Kingdom, and the interest of the Established Church, which cannot be More effectually pro moted than by conciliating the affections of all classes of his Majesty's subjects, and by strength ening the attachment of all its inhabitants, of whatever persuasion, to its Constitution and Go vernment," The Marquis of LANSDOWNE seconded the Amendment in a long and able speech. - The original Motion was supported by Mr. Es- COURT, M. P. for Devizes, and the Rev. Mr: Srcuctiti and was opposed by Lord HOLLAND and Mr. R. GoarioN. Mr. METHUEN, M. P. for the County, Wished to reserve his opinion until he should give his vote in the House of Commons. The question being put, the sense of the Meet ing was declared in favour of the Address, which, on the motion of the Marquis of limstsctowsE; wilt ordered to be advertised in the Public Papers BRITISII PROPERTY IN SWEDEN. A Meeting was held yesterday, at the Merchant Seamen's Office, of persons interested in the pro perty seized some time ago in the ports of Swe den, by order of the Swedish Government. It was. 4tate.d to the Meeting, that the SwediSh Government had restored 100,0001. of the seized prOperty ; anti iarther restoration was expected to be made.. The only question to be considered was,: the most expedient way of dividing tia! same equally and fairly amongst the whole of the suf . - f - )3 , ers. A deed of trust was considered the most eligible mode of proceeding. It M''29 suggested, however, bye a Gentleman present that by obtaining an Act of Parliament to authorise. the division of the monies restored, the.: end proposed Would be better attained, as those acting under a deed of trust might be.call ed upon by claimaats years after the account was closed; but an Act of Parliament would be a complete answer to those who did not come for ward within a prescribed period. Alter Some far-. ther discussion, the arrangement of this matter was left with the 'Committee: 4 A. Correspondent informs us of a most outra geous attack upon Mr. F.`,LE, a farmer, at Ash ley-hole, Somerset, on the confines of GlotiCes tershire, on the evening of Monday last, whilst sitting in his parlour with his family. The bark big of a yard-dog caused the first alarm, soon af ter which, there was a loud knocking at the kit.then door; no answer was returned to inter rogatories fro►u Within, biit soou after the door was forced by four ruffians, armed with blud geons, who entered the parlour where Mr. and Mrs. E., their daughter seven years , old, and the Maid-servant, were sitting. One of them knock ed Mr. FALL down without ceremony, and conti nued their violence until he was Unable to move. His wife and daughter were fastened into a clo set, and the servant-maid was compelled to go up stairs with the villain's, who broke open every lock they could get at, and stole from a chest of drawers, Bank-notes and cash, to the amount of 113/. with which they made off: The main-ser va►tt was locked in. a separate room before the villains departed. Mr. B. Is described to he in a dangerous state. A carter and his boy, whe slept in a different part of the house,. were not dis tnrbed. _ _ _ A few days since, as Mr. Wm. Bolingbroke, rug-manufacturer, of Coggeshall, Essex, ..vas turning into the gateway . of WoOd bridge, a horse had run furionSly away with a gig. belonging to Captain Chester, of the ,Artillery, which came in contact with Mr. B.'s chaise, and instantly threw it over, when Mr. 8.. received seine very severe bruis'es, but Captain C.'s ser vant sustained little injury, though dragged 100 yards .on the ground. The gig was broken to pieces. _ Baring Match.---A desperate battle took place on Wednesday morning at Uolder's-green, a short distance from Paddington, for a purse of 10 gui neas, between a boxer of bruising celebrity mid a Jew salesman. The parties met with their se conds on the spot about eight o'clock, amidst a concourse of upwards of .500 spectators,, who formed a ring, when the combatants immediately set-to, and taught a well contested battle for two hours mid twenty minutes. Both of them were dreadfully bruised about the body. The former came off victor, and bore oil the prize in triumph. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the 27th lust. at the Black Horse, Whitechapel, on the body of Mrs ; Ann Chatham, eighty years of age. deceased, it appeared, was in easy circumstances, anti kept a servant, who went down to the kitchen to fetch her supper, She heard her mistress scream, and found her, on her return, lying upon Mlle floor, enveloped in flames, proceeding, as she supposed, from the candle which laid on the floor beside her, and which, in the act of carrying it in her hand,' had caught her clothes. The girl sec ceeeled in extinguishing the flames, but the old Lady soon expired. Verdict—Casually burnt.

BARNES V.,. MORTIMER Cause . was :chew againstt - a rule for a new ttiul. It was an action of trover, for a quantity of COuIS J raised by defendant under the freehold of plaintiff. Defence was, that defendant was lessee of Mr. Saville, Lord of the Manor of Shef, in.the county, of York,• and that the Lord of the Manor ;was' entitled to all the mines under certain landS, call ed the New Lands, of which description plaintiff's/ . was stated to be. To prove that the• Lord was entitled to the mines in such lands, a number •of witnesses proved, that the Lord and- his lessees, had for a series of years been in the habit of driv ing •for coals where they pleased, in the New Lands ; and that such right had never been disput • ed, but was well known to all the occupiers of such lands. To prove that plaintiff's land was part of those New Lands, the only evidence was, that. it was entirely surrounded by those lamls. To re- . but this, plaintiff' produced deeds as tar back as 1655, proving that it War freehold ; and to prove that it did not constitute part of the New Lands, Sd. paid by the tunte of tithe money was relied on. The Judge left it to the Jury on, both the points, directing them, that they might •preSteine that the New Lands were formerly a waste, which the Lord had granted out, reserving the mines, which grant Might have perished by time. The Jury, however,. found for plaintiff on both points, contrary, as =the Judge stated, to what he con ceived to he the weight of the evidence. It was now contended, that there ought to be some deed to disprove that plaintiff had a freehold, acid-the tithe-money was relied on, as proving an imrne modus, which - would prove, Ora it was a freehold in the time of Richard the First ; it was alsostated, that it was the province of the Jury to decide on the fact ; and they•hail done so. But Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that it was very COM mon, particularly in' the Northern counties, for. One person to have a freehold in the surface, and another to have a right to the mines : that the expression tithe-money, was much , too loose • to •form any conclusion; that although it was the province of the Jury to decide' on the fact, yet it was the duty of that Court, when 4 verdict ap peared to them to 'be contrary to:evidence, to send the cause to be reconsidered .by u more dis creet and considerate Jury ; and, as in this case - , all the evidettce was for the defendant, as well as in the uncontested exercise of thp right of the Lords of the Manor' in driving where they pleased for coals . in the -New Lands, as in plaintiff's , ground being entirely surrounded. by the New Land, there must he a new trial; and the rest - of the Court concurring, the Ityle.Was made uhsolute. His Lordship then sat at Nisi Prins.

OF 11-H1 SUN. Slit, tliattichealll, Jan. 22, 1413. Having recently received the inclosed, on the very interesting question of the Catholic Claim.), a, question demanding the serious consideration of Protestants of all denominations--1 send theta for insertion in yoar widely circulated paper, in the hope that the opinion of the learned and pious Dr. Beilby Porteus will be read with candour and attention on a subject of the last importance to the interests of the Protestant - Religion, and con sequently to the existence of our Protestant Go. vernment. 1 shun rifler no apology for obtruding also upon your readers the accompanying Letter of n rt.- thected young man, to, whom 1 am indebted fur e extract herewith. ED*,ARD SPENCER CLTELING: MY DEAR SIR, tLivachnuse; Jan: M 1813: I feel much pleasure in the performance of thy engagement rewire to the Catholic Question, in transcribing the sentiments of the pious Bi,h,p Beal)), Porteus, on this important trod interest ing subject. I have perhaps been led to a fuller consideration of it than I had ever before given it, and I think ft has irrevocably confirmed my character of the man adds weight to arguments whfcli are 'in themselves unanswer• able, and must carry conviction to every thinking mind, If we examine who are thelulvocates fur Emancipation, we shall find the majority to con sist, either of those who, dissenting themselves from our excelleneand venerable Establishment, have, however they may persuade even themselves to the contrary, some interested views, in the abolition of those tests which the law has wisely placed for its preservation, or of those who, with any sense of religion, under the cloak of libe rality of sentiment, conceal perfect infidelity, and to whore it is *like indifferent, whether Christiert or Heathen, Turk, Cat!.idic, or Protestant, gain the ascendancy. °To those however whose views are neither so 'contracted as the one, nor so affect edly enlarged as the other, it must ever be matter of hope, that things may remain in the state in which they have continued for this century past, and this hope must stimulate them to exertion in opposing the inroads of superstition, infidelity, and sehisna—to have contributed by the dissemi nation of principles, so mildly tolerant, of so firm, and of arguments so convincing, ai4 those of . Dr. Parrett's, in the promotion of an ob ject so' desirableonust even be a source of satis-, fuetiOn to you, and Will increase the pleasure I have in subscribing myself. Your affectionate Nephew, Geo. FR DP.RICK YOUNG, • To Mr. Falivard Spencer Curling, Blackheath. ortNioN oP A.Arill DR. BEILUY PORTEUS THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS. In the interesting and important discussions, hkb took place in Parliament in 1805, on the great question of Catholic Emancipation, when It was rejected by a large majority, he abstained from any public expression of: his sentiments but, though he contented himself with giving only a Silent vote, be gave it, as the fonolinrs statement in his awn words will chew, after ranch deliberation, and with a perfect conviction of its being right. " If," be observes, the Petition from the Catholics of Ireland had been for a more complete toleration in matters of religion, though it caor hardly, i think, be more complete than It is, there wes not an individual in the Muse that woad .have given a more hearty aud cordial assent to the prayer of the petition than myself. I ant and ever have been a decided friend to liberty of con- science, and a full and free toleration of oil who difier in religions opinions from the Establishua Church. It is a sentiment perfeCtly consonant with the spirit of the Gospel, the principles of t ha Church of England, and every dictate of justice raid humanity. It is a sentiment deeply engraves On toy heart, by which 1 have ever regulated, and hope I ever shall regulate my 'conduct. But this is not nit application for liberty of conscience and freedom of religious opinion and religion: worship. The truth is, it is an appliCation for political power; and that power I, for one, ant not disposed to grant them ; because, I believe, that it would be difficult to produce a single in stance, where they have possessed political power in a Protestant country, without using it cruelly and tyrannically, and this indeed follows nect • - Shelly, front the very doctrines of their Church, se veral of which are well known to be hostile, not only to the Protestant religion, bitt to a Protest ant Government. It has been said, indeed, thet these are not now the tenets of the eintreit of Rome ; 'that they may be f oun d perhaps " in some oldatnisty records, - but that they are tsow grown obselete and invalid, and are held in nulr detestation by the whole body of Ron CittllU4 lies heath- in England and Ireland. But those it musty records," in which these doctrines ap pear, are nothing less than the deerees of general councils confirmed-by the Pope; and Dr. Tray, Titular Archbishop of Dublin, in his pastorcd in structions to the Rinnan Catholics of his diocese, published in 1793, tells his flock " they !utter implicitly adhere to decrees and canons of the church, assembled in 'general councils and COW., firmed by the Po e •' 1 and the celebrated lay Roo _
