Mr. EthTon, As the claims of the Roman Catholics of Ireland excited so much attention, and are shortly to under-- go a Parliamentary discussion, perhaps you may find room for the following observations, -in order to prove the necessity of the King, or Chief Magis trate of a State, being the Supreme Head of thu Church. The ancient Romans,during the regalgoVernment 2nd republic, had no distinctions, as in modern times, of clergy and laity ; but their Generals, who led them succesifurly to battle, were often their High Priests ; and the Romans had the wisdom to insert the following law in' the - twelve tables : Let no man dedicate his field to the service of the altar, and let him be discreet in his offerings of gold, silver, and ivory." When Constantine the Great assernbled the Council of Nice, in Bythnia, in the year 325, he then had it in his power not only to enforce (hit law, but also to have made himself the supreme head of the-Christiun Church ; both which would have contributed to check the ambition of the cler gy, and have kept them within those due re quisite tot the welfare of the empire, and the hap piness of society. By acting otherwise, the meta physical controversies of the clergy often be came the cause of political contests, during the reign of the successors of the Emperor Constan tine, and the rancorous animosities of the clergy threw the provinces into confusion,. and ultimately ended in the destruction of Chiistianity in Asia and Africa, as also of the loss of Constantinople, ti eca pital of the Eastern Empire„;when besieged •ip 1453 by Mahomet 11. Emperor of the Turks—for the Christian clergy - palsied the efforts. of their Ema peror Constantine Paleologus, and prevented the people assisting in the defence of, the city. If so much mischief was caused by the inteMpe. rate zeal of the clergy in the early ages of Christian 4 ity, when religion might be supposed more - pure, as being nearer to its ine source, the present time being more remote, the same causes might again produce the same erfeas, unless the Sovereign Power is invested with .the supremacy of the Church; nor is it more improper tor the Civil Magistrate to be at the head of the Church, than for a Pope or a _Bishop to be a Civil Magistrate.; which was the case at Rome, and at Liege, &c. in Germ an y.— There is not ,a truer axiom, than - " that power re— quites checks ;" and the clergy being' men, they require; restraint as well as the rest of mankiid, anti the firtn hand of the Civil Po xer to keep them in . The Catholic Bishops bf Ireland seem desirous of not acknowledging the power of their Sovereign's Veto, and which, if ever resigned for one instant, then Ireland has a chance of being as much rent by dissensions as ever the Eastern .Rolpan: Empire was. ,Suppose 200,0001. were annually appropriated for the maintenance of the Irish .Roman lie clergy, who being alt . why:tried, the following' propotrions might be thought sufficient huh- . dyed pounds per annum for every Priest, with the addiiion of fifty pounds a year if they kept daily a a free school, and part of the education of the poor should be to learn practical agriculture, and to work three or four hours daily for the Priest. The poor Irish then would from their earliest years be habitu ated to labour, and ever after be, with encourage ment, industrious, which would effect a change for the Sena! of Ireland, and its poor inhabitants would not, Ps at present, exhibit •a picture' of idleness . , ignorance, rags, filth, and poverty. Chap,ls and burying-grounds should be built and given to the Catholics.' Two hundred thousand pounds a year would be wet )bestowed for these be nificent purposes, 'and it is far from improbable the Irish Roman Caill'olic ( rgv would be icdifferent as to:the claims of their Bishops, and not "chose to lose the substance for the shidu*.. As to the Ca tholic Bishops, they could be afterwards provided for at leisure,,; and their refusal cminot prevent the Ca• th9be laity of Ireland accepting and having every thins which the wisdoin ot,the Imperial Parli a m ent can give them, if., indeed, it snould be d eeme d at all necesary,to E,rant them more titan ti ey spo•s!ss, AN OLD CORRESPONDENT. , ~\~ i
