Truly, the oppo. nents of Emancipation say, we can see in none of these things, any cause for encreased confidence in the professors of the Roman Catholic faith, or any ground for abandoning that wholesome jealousy of the' encroaching spirit of their religion which actuated our forefathers in the enactment of the penal laws. Some hardships and inconveniences these laws, no doubt, must entail upon those against whom they are directed. But it Is better taker the ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of. A. disagreeable remedy must sometimes a,p had recourse to for the purpose of counwr:acting a dangerou s Olacgsv. And although antic are more ready than ourselves to soften and mitigate as far 'as It is Natie and practicable to do so, the rigours •of the code under which our Roman Catholic fel. low subjects suffer, yet we cannot consent to such a repeal of it as may, by investing them with a plenitude of political power, eventually endanger the existence of the Church, and shake the state toite foundations, A mercantile express was received :his morn ing front Paris, bringing information dated in that c►pital late in the evening of Saturday- last. The Rentes on that day opened, at 77. 90., and closed at7o. 50., being an advance of per cent. on the prices of Friday.

MY LORD,—Should you deem the following remarks worthy of perusal, and perceive in them a sincere desire to elucidate a subject of great in terest and importance, I feel persuaded that I shall be pardoned for thus presuming to connect them with your name. It is right, however, that the public should know, that I am wholly unau thorised by you to do so, and that consequently you are not responsible for any sentiments or opinions which they contain, The view which I have taken of the great question to which they refer is one with which my tuaturest judgment los led me to be satisfied ; although I am not without a susceptibility of heightened and pecu liar gratification, should it meet the approbation of a statesman, whose mind is at once enriched by philosophy, 'adorned by literature, and eno bled by virtuous principles; and whose name will be identified, by the latest posterity, with all that is liberal and constitutional in politi&i, and all that is wise and generous in legislation. I remain, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, and most humble Servant, THE AUTHOR. The followingAieitisement is inserted by_particular raquest : GREAT ADVANTAGE to FAMILIES.

By GEORGE CRABB, • Author of " English Synonymes Explained." London: Printed for Baldwin, Craddock, amV.Toy. t4t It is with feelings of pride and gratification, that the publishers of the Technological Dictionary announce the Twelfth and last Number of a Work, which, for variety and co mprehensiveness of information, systematic arrangement, and practical utility, challenges a rival in the annals of lite. ra ture ;and it is not the smallest juirt of their boast that, not vtithstantling the unexampled difficulties which have attended the Progress of this Work through the press, they have been enabled, by the assistance of all engaged in it, punctually to Perform their pledge at ever returning period of publication. As the publishers were d y etermined to spare no expellee in g i ving a work adds importance all the completeness which it would admit, they engaged artists of the first celebrity in dif ferent departments to execute the plates, who have performed their part with such - success that, containing the author's scien tific arrangement with their own skill, they have rendered these Plates no less ornamental than they are useful. Having now done all in their power to give this work a de. Fided superiority over every other book of - reference, the pub lishers look forward to the period, at no great distance, when its merits being fully known and duly appreciated by the public, there will not be found a lover of literature in this or any other country where the English language is known, who will not consider the Technological Dictionary an important acquisition to his library.

SHAM PATRONAGE. Maxstosr.lfot7sE.—Vesterday two young men, of gentle. manly appearance, applied to Alderman TitouP, who sat for the Lord Mayor, for a warrant against a prisoner in the Fleet, who had just sent them 'notice that he was about to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. From their statement it appeared that the insolvent had been a clerk in the. Castom-lionse, and pretended to have a great deal of influence with those who had authority in the .London Docks, and other departments of a similar kind. .As the • applicants did • not wish to remain idle, and had sonic acquaintance with him, they thoiight., proper to accept a proposal of his toplace,them in a respectable employ ment in the London Docks and elsewhere, for which they con.. sented to remunerate him with a year's salary of both situations. Each of the situations being estimated at 'lOO/. a year, the in. solvent deiminded from each of his dupes the sum of ;10/. to work a beginning, and security. forthe remainder. One of them thinking that an appearance of liberality Would produce a good effect, paid down -• at once the whole amount of the . price of his place. The other was content to be the last served, and save no more • than . dro , stipulated Sum as entrance-money The Insolvent, finding be had two easy ones to deal with, seemed to be very active in their • service, and atd length told them that the • time of appointment was at hand, and that • it. would he necessary for them to procure upwards •of 10111. for the purchase of the custoniery, atamns, pre paratory to their being called upon to • act in their new • situations.. Taking it for granted the demand was es correct as the former part of the transaction, the money was forthcom. ing, and the two Unfortunate candidates for •the imaginary employments paid down a total sum exceeding 2601. Toe day was then settled on which they were to begin to calculate on their profits, but " an un a void a bl e delay" took place, They patiently enClured several postponements. At last they learned at the establishments in which they expected to act, that there was4to vacancy, and that the insolvent was unknown. Subse quently they succeeded in obtaining , a restitution of 1051., but upon their application for the remainder, they were served with notice to attend the Insolvent Court, if they considered that they had a claim upon the Custom.house cl er k. Alderman THQRP ordered a warrant immediately to be lodged at the Fleet Prison, to detain the insolvent for a misde.. meunour. " This, and some recent cases of mock patronage," said the Alderman, " . remind me of a fellow *lto came to the and•ofrered to make me a baronet. Ile got nothing - from me, • but I have 'ream to belietTh he received - •sonie hundreds I'min some of my brethren, and they were just as lucky as 'than two gentlemen." BI LL SOA 51 ES. Ottrumatr..--Eft/ .V4ante.t, who is 1109/ ' 54 years of 11g2, whose re-app eara nc e i n public at his old trade we mitieed a short time suttee, was yesterday again brought up upon a charge at this - office, before the Situng 31agistrate, Mr. Alderman Bnowre, fur picking a gentleman's pocket. Bill was never at any tint? a very dexterous conveyance hint. self, but he had awnritan cohabiting with him, who was more than ordinarily skilful at the trade. In her operations Soames was constantly at her elbow to receive the produce of her light fingers ; his gentleirnanly dress and appearance' placing hint generally beyond. suspicion. I ritiortnnately, however, for oames, his lady was transported some tew messions ago,. since which time he has been thrown atut of praetice,• and reduced to . the state we described at his last appearaft "%Viten placed at the bar yesterday; he seemed consitleraliy renovated, both as to health and apparel. • • - •t• John Woodward, a sort of porter or messenger at Messrs. Lubbocks, the bankers, stated that On Saturday evening, be. tween fl and 7 o'ckick, as he was walking along Newgate.strect, his attention. was attracted by the prisoner, and a welhdressod female, in a dark-coloured cloth pelisse, a t'ew yards before him; hom he observed taking particular notice of .andocca sionally trying the pockets of the persiftts who-prised/ them. H e watched them for a 'short distance ; two gentlemen in company together passed them, and the prisoner immediately •put his hand into the coat-pracket of one of them, and drew out a silk handkerchief: Be Vile witness) instantly seized his hand with the handkerchief in it. The female as. instantly seized 'him by the collar, saying, " What do you want with the man and endeavoured to push him away. The prisoner at the same time wrenched his hand from his grasp; but before he could escape he (the witness) caught hint again. The fethale then snatched the handkerchief out of the prisoner'alathdyigritnteylr,,,dtehe )ffie s'eoltElirle, prisoner struggled hard to get away, )a coming up ut the instant, be wart secured and taken' to the Compter. Mr. Edward Seack, a merehant,reslding at the Langbourn eharribtrs,whose:handkereider had been thutt stolen, saw nothing . of the transaction, nor did he know t)f his loss till inti n m e d . by some person who had followed hint. _ Soames's defence was, as ustud, a protestation of his entire innocence; he knew nothing of the female who was said to be with him, and declared soknully that he liad never taken a handkerchief in all his days. Though this was dcliverea in good set terms, it wanted much of that confidence which for. wetly distinguished his addresses from the bar. That so notorious a pickpocket should expect to be believed when he asserted that he had never taken an handkerchief in all • his days, may at first appear somewhat strange. it i : , nut , however, improbabl e , b arring • the present instanc e , but that Bill spoke the truth. \l' :) he found himself fairly secu re d, he exclairtied, " it wits h ar d to b e kord (transpo rte d) at l ast fur a dirty clout ; " an d t h e o ffi cers Who know Ini n best say, in his former days he never descended to so trifling a theft, and consider this act as the strongest proof a the distressed shim . non to which he has been »4;104 Seams has once serv e d out his time at Botany Bay ; he was a second time sentenced for transportation, and was fetched back and set at liberty by the interposition of Ald er . man Wood, on the investigation respecting the blood-money conspiraeY ; after which he w 43 fi tte d out a t t h e expetliAt of Government, and returned to the Bay as a free settler. lie soon tired of the place., atatepted the situation of steward on board a vessel, and came back to country. - The oflbnee Ire was yesterday charged with, and for which he was committed to Netvgate for trial, will most pru b z wy send him hack to finish hie days as a felon, in the land where he Wright, by honest in. tiustry, have acquired COIXIpcteIICC: and indrpendencc. The question concerning the claims of the Ro man Catholics has.been so frequently and so fully discussed in parliament, that there scarcely remains a topic on either ,side which has not been long since exhausted. The subject, how ever, continues to be one of undiminished, Interest. It in one shape or other engages the periodical consideration of the legis lature, and is Always entertained by every party, in both houses, as one of paramount importance. Nor has the public anxiety, with respect to its final determi nation, been lessened, since the advocates of the Romeo Catlto lies prevailed to have an emancipation bill passed through the Commons, which .was, however, rejected by the Lords. This has occurretk on two occasions, and it is, to say, the least of it, a very inconvenient and unseemly thing, that the two great branches of the legislature Should be time at issue open, a ques tion which involves the constitutional rights of so large a class of his Majesty'a subjects. I have, therefore, thought that it would not be an inaceeptable service, to endeavour, in a clear and impartial nuwner,'to divest the question of every thing ex traneous, and to present the leading views and argtunents of both parties to the public. I hava also taken occasion to introduce such considerations on the affirmative side of the ques tion as could not be directly adverted to in Parliament. My fixed conviction is, I must premise, favourable to emancipation. I hope, however, it will be found that I have not overlooked or undervalued any of the reasonings which have been employed to prove its impolicy Ind danger. The opponents of the claims of the Roman Catholics have generally argued in this manner : the penal, laws at present in force have been enacted by the wisdom' of our ancestors, and were by them considered necessary as safeguards to our civil and religious institutions.' Their necessity, the transactions which led to the revolution aufficiently evince; when a popish king, by the instrumenta lity of a popish clergy, and in wicked confederacy with a fo. feign popish potentate, had so nearly accomplished the esta blishMent of despotism upon the ruins of the constitution. What, they ask, would be the condition, of these countries at the present day, if James the Second had succeeded in his at tempt to erect Popery into the established religion of the State, and himself into an itutoerat at whose fiat the most important of our constitutional privileges might be abridged, end the moat wholesome laws for our personal security annulled or suspended ? Such are the evils agniniit which we have been protected by the obnoxious Popery laws : and It would be well if those who are elequeht in declaiming againsi their severity, would consider how vast .are the morel and political calamities which the United .Kingdoms have escaped, coin. pared with the partial inconvenient - des whitit . the excluded sect has incurred by their enactment. It, is in vain, they say, to argue, that the Popery haws should now be tepealtal, because precisely the same causes which gave rise to them are not now, in operation. That the dangers against which they were in tended to provide have greatly dintinished, is, no doubt, true : but that only proves that they have been hitherto efficient, not' that they are at present useless. While there remains the possibility of establishing a Popish influence in either House of Parliament, the same dangers, to a certain degree, although latent, are by no means extinct ; and it would be foolish anti criminal to Max our vigilance while they are in the remotest degree to be apprehended. With respect to the argument founded upon the mitigated character which Popery has its. Runlet!, and the fact so confidently ;wed by the advocates of Emancipation, that it has itself undergone a kind of silent re. formation, these they consider altogether as fidlaetous and un. founded. Popery is, and ever will be, the game that it always bas been in principle : anti if its Intolerant and persecuting po bey is less offensively conspieitoos at the present day than for merly, that it only an artful accortmuxiation to the spirit of the times, antlty no means to be considered as proving any essential alterationl4 its character, .or final relinquishinent of its preten sions. Only give the Paptata power; only give them an opportu. nity of again asserting the eupremacy of their Cluirch with any tolerable prospect ofsuccess, and you shell vichly see how they will smile at the idea of being withheld 14' any - fmling of grati tude tbr former concessions from pushing da.ir advantage to the utmost possible extent, and probably availing themselves of name favourable conjuncture of circumstances for enthrooing Popery in supreme and absolute dotninieo over the liberties anti the destinies Of the empire. Indeed, to suppose otherwise, .they add, is not only to be deaf to the adalooitione of history, but: to betray a great ignorance of humnn nautre. Are . power and grandeur now less desirable than when Christendom was tribu tary to the successors of St. Peter, acid the monarchs of Enrope trembled at their nod? is bigotry now less baleful than when then were kindled in Smithfield,: and human victims tied to the stake to consummate the bloody orgiek of its votaries. What sudden and miraculous transformation has the Roman Catholit superstition of late years wrought in the minds and hearts of its votaries, that they are to be no longer susceptible of the ordinary Such are the arguments, and such the views which influence , • many most respectable and conscientious men in their oppesi tion to the claims of the Roman Catholics. Those on the other hand who espouse these claims consider this line of reasoning not by any means satisfactory or well founded. The gnention, . . they say, is not now, whether the penal laws were or were not necessary at the time they were enacted : but whether a ease can he made out at the present day, which will justify their continuance, and evince-the propriety of Occluding five millions of subjects from the full enjoyment of the blessings of the Con. stitution. That this is the true state of the question is evi. dent, they say, from the mitigation of the penal code which ha s from time to time %icon place; by which the Legislature must be considered as virtually declaring that circumstances both migh t and did so alter the condition of the Roman Catholics, as to ren der it expadient to relax at one period laws, the severity of which might have been necessary at another. The restrictions under • which they labour were imposed upon then,, not :.s a sect, but as a party ; not as a body of Christians professing erroneous or anscriptural tenets, but as a dangerous and discontented faction in the State. And Parliament has hitherto acted upon the principle that it is cruel and impolitic to continue these re strictions any longer than the political circumstances which called for them may be fully proved to justify their existence. To contend for them upon any other ground would he to ar raign the conduct of the .Legislature in all preceding concert. SiooB to the Roman Catholic* and to call for the repeal of those benignant acts by which they became entitled to the right at' 'acquiring property, and to the privilege of the elective fran chise. Indeed with those who tell us that there is an absolute incompatibility between the profession of the Roman Catholic religion and the allegiance due to a Protestant Sovereign, the question-should be, whether we ought not to resume what has beeri already granted, not, whether we may not concede what is at present retained. To discuss the question, then, upon the only principle which a respect for former decisions of Parliament will suffer us to en certain, what one of the circumstances which formerly rendered the Roman Catholics formidable as a political party, at pre sent remains to justify any 'constitutional jealousy of them ? Mel his present Majesty to struggle with the difficulties of a new dynasty and a disputed succession ? Are one of his domi- Mims in rebellion against his authority ? rs there a Pretender 'in mins against his Throne ? llnvc any of the great , .Centinen. Id Powers espoused the cause of thi s rival candidate for em. .hire ? . And does the Pope second his views. with the full weight both of his temporal power and his spiritual authority ? The most hypochondriacal alarmist, it Is presumed,will Scarcely pmend that there exists at the present clay, any such causes of political apprehension or nheasiness. And but fur such causes, it is aidted, would this penal code have ever exist.. eel? lf, then, this co d e .h e suffered to remain still upon the statute book, it must be upon grounds very different, surely, from those which justified its Origintil enactment, and its , advo. tag's are called upon to state what theta! grounds are.; it is highly unreasonable to suffer - lawx inflicting severe privations and disabilities to continue in operation,. ;after the necessity which gave rise to them has Contessedly ceased, and before any necedity for their further continuance is made . apparent.
