FOR SUN. Mr. EDITOR-1f pot ti,ink the following sbott statement of the Roman Catholic Question, after so mud , hes been said on the subject, will reduce* it so as to make it more level to common under- standings, it i, much at youir service. I am, your humble Servant, PIVOT. The Boman Catholic claims an equal right with any Protestant Subject to hold any situation whatever under the :King, at the same time 111,0 be denies his supremacy—in Iry her words, should the Kihg order one thing, and the Pope another, he will ohcy the Pope. and disobey the King therefore a Roman Catholic must he a most im- or proper person to serve either as a Legislator Privy Counsellor tinder a Protestant King ; for we hove the best nuthorily to Ray, that '' Ito man can serve two masters ;"' but more especially u hen one ptotestc, mid is boon(' by the most sa cred ties to protest, against the doctrines vk bich sre beld by the other. So !whit for the Oath of Supremacy. , By the 04th of Abjuration lie is called upon to abjure " that dar;lable doctrine and position that Princes ex communicated by the Pope may be murdered by their subjects." it can want no argument, I think, to prove, that those who hold such an abominable doctrine as this cannot be qualified to set ve a Protestant giu as Lf-gisl4tors or Privy Counsellors: But 'it has been said, that Papists of the preteut day do not boll this doctrine, and that the foreign 11Joiversi ies deny it. In a matter, then, of so great mement, which concerns the peace And Happiness of thousands, why does not the Pope, and his Clergy at a General Council unegnivocally rettonnce it, and also those insufferable Anti- Chri , tian tenets, " that Hereticks may be con signed ro the fire, and that an oath may be disre garded whenever it inttiftres wi:h the good of the Church." they will not do this, whose fault is it that the Rom in Catholics are will lte:d under some restrictions we know that they did hold these doctrines in the reign of bloody Queen Maul', and what is more, that they actually put them in practice, and they themselves tell us . that their religious tenets can never he altered, which in fact is telling us (with no small Ilegree , of impudence) too plainly to he misund,!rstood— " Give us Power, and we will do the same again." They demand every indulgence, -and concede nothing. MIESSRS. LONGMAN srul Co. will Publish , L on MONDAY, the NEW TRAGEbY of the CARIB CHIEF, by Mr. HORACE TWISS; the EPILOGUE, by the Hun. W. R.

LONDON, SATURIMY, MAY 15, 1819. We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. 'Chose of Wednesday, which were due this morning, have not arrived.—ln the Cham ber of Deputies, on Monday, a Report was made froth the Committee of Petitions ; amongst others are several praying for a prohibition of the im portation of foreign grain, which were ordered to be referred to the Minister of the Interior. M. Roy reported from the Committee on the Budget Of Supply. The Report was ordered to be print tetL and the discussion ordered tp be opened after that on the Financial Accounts. The last men tioned discussion wa3 then opened by the Count BER'ENGER, whose speech was ordered to be printed ; and after hearing M. de CHAUVELIN, the discussion was adjourned till Tuesday. No report was made, as anticipated, upon the petitions fot the recall of the exiles. The trial of CANTILLON and MARINET, on the charge of attempting to assassinate the Duke of WELLINGTON, commenced on Monday. We give, in another column, an abstract of the proceedings, The trial was ad j,,orned till Tuesday. It appears to have been re -1 Grted at Paris, that the King of SWEDEN had tonunted to abilicate tilt Throne for a conside ration given by itusia. The following are ex- tracts : " PARIS, MAY 11.—The Cardinal de Perigord, Archbishop of Paris, Grand Almoner of France, held a Council of Bishops (12 in number) yes terday, at his hotel, which sat for five hours. " The Count de Montrisehard, Eq►►erry to the Duchess of Guthlaud (Queep of Sweden), arrived on Sunday at Pa► is frOm Stockholm. " The King yesterday transacted business with the Minister foe Foreign Affairs. " There is a report of au i`nten i dett new and very intimate relation bet tet:en Austria and Prui sia, by meant of a Convention, haling fur its ob ject a mutual engagement to prevent all foreign influence in the internal affairs of Gtruiany. " A Letter from Frankfort, of the Ist instant, for two days past the most extraordinary re;.or• s have been circulated here respecting the peseta Government of Sweden. Mention is made of proposed political arrangements, hut which have been formally refused to besUbseribeti to. The next Courier from Stockholm will doubt less put us in possession of authentic informa tion upon the subject.' If we may - believe the re ports which were circulated yesterday in . this capital, the proposed arrangements 16': bee❑ at length adopted. It is even asserted, that the re sult is known, and that (bete has been granted as a compensation for an Important sacrifice, a prin cipality on the frontiers of Russia, on ihe,side of Asia, with an annual revenue of - 2,000,000. " It is announced, to the great de‘Pair of a cer tain party, that Lord Whitworth quits Paris this day or to-morrow to return to England. FIVE PER CENTS. bloitaay ..G6 f. 25c.

Papers of Wednesday last. -The Pro ceedings in the case of CANTILLON and I.`,IA ii;NET, charged with attempting to assassi nate the Duke Of WELLINGTON, were con tinned on Toes:lay. Several witnesses were exa milted, amongst whom was Sir GEORGE Mt. 111.. RAY.: The further examination of evidence was postponed till Wednesday. Its the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday, the Pro jet respecting the Journals was referred to a Special Committee of five, consisting of the Mar quess de LALLY, the Baron MOUNIER, the Coptic COL/CHEN, Marshal the Duke de MAGusA, and Count de PowrucouhANT. The .Chamber ad journed till Thursday, when the discussion was to be opened on the First Projet relative to the Press.

Liberators, and general in Chief of the Army, &c. " Be it' known, that on the lath inst. entered this port, the armed brig called the Itresistable, of the °dentin Republic of La Plata, with the Spa nish brig of war Nereide, Astender, the latter having been 'captured by ,the Ifresist able, in tat. S. long. 30. while sailing from Cadiz to Rio Janeiro ; that on the 21st the privateer La eolla, from the Republic of La Mate, anchored at this port, and in the night of 24th both crews mutinied, took possession of the force of the lire sistable, and arresting the Officers who were. on board, made their escape with the vessel, in spite of the firing from the ercolia and the batteries from land ; and though the Commander Daniels, be ing on shore, used every effort to apprase the Niwineets, unit to prevent tiir escar)e, it eta, impossible to obtain it ; for assisted by the place and 'vessels in harbour, he manned the brig Ne reide, and pursued the robbers without effect, n►ving to their superiority of sailing and .diffe rence of time, in consequence of Which Daniels was obliged to pot back, after taking up the Of ficers and men whom the Mutineers had landed on tie coast. " Such iniquitous conduct sets the criminals out of the protection -of the laws. To prevent their future depredations, under the pretence of corntnissions to cruise from the Repuh:;e of Ve• nezuela, - I do hereby declare, that the said brig Irresistible has no commission from the Oriental Republic of La . Plata since the-24th of this month, nor from the Republic of Venezuela, and that he ought to 'be considered as a pirate, and sailing ulder no authority aril sanc:ion from any Government whatever, and as such to he cap tined by the forces, public and private, of the State; and to the friendly and neutral nations I do entreat to detain said brig, if found, and to order him co this Island. (Signed) " ARESMENDI." A great number of fires have taken place in ea- rioui tot‘:lis in America. I)estructioe Fire at Norfolk. April B.—We re gret. In ie , irn, 1114 t. on. Wednesday night last, about 150 buildings weie destroyed by fire, in Norfolk, Virginia. Fire at Washington —Several houses were con sumed in this city on WednesdAy last, and several more on Friday at Philadelphia ; there were also fires at New York ; likewise at Lancaster and Troy, Savannah and Blandon!. We find, by the Continental Papers, as well as by private communications, that there is actually some reason to believe that M. IIaRNADoTTE has been induced to think of abdicating the Throne into which he ascended by such extraordinary means. Whether the natural reluctance of other Powers to admit such a character among them in monarchical state, whether any neglect of obli gations into which he bad entered, or whether the repugnance of the Swedi;ll People to have the Throne, formerly adot•nNl by the great Gus- TAVUS ArfOLPHUS, occupied by the offspring of a Revolution that has shaken the foundry ions of civi lized society, we know not. If it be impracticable to restore the deposed Monarch, whose only fault was a resolute defence of good principles ag,air,* the great Disturber of Mankind, BUONAPARTF, yet it would be pleasing to all the world to see the Son of that Monarch placed upon the Throne of his Ancestors, and the People of Sweden would have their national pride gratified by such an . event. It has been said that BaRNADOTTE might maintain his State, even against ad. verse Powers, if supported by time Swedes. — But is it possible that the Nobles of that country, and a people renowned for valour and national pride, will quietly acquiesce in the present order of things, brought on by the doting imbecility of the Duke of StmEamANIA, who raised himself to the Throne, and be queathed it to a low-born foreigner ? We hope, however, that there is some truth in the report that BaRNADOTTE really means to descend from his revolutionary elevation, and then be will, at least, deserve a rood provision, for ren dering justice to Sweden, and satifying the wishes of mankind. ~ • • . It is gratifying to us to find that Tue SUN has actually raised an ANTI-PAPIST spirit in all quar ters of the Empire. We have received as many articles on this subject as would_ nearly fill our Paper for months to come, We shall pub lisp the communications of our valuable Calle spondents'on this vital Question, as soon as we have opportunity, because whatever may be the decision of the House of Lords, we wish to con— vinee.the Papists that they never can be _admitted into Political Power, until they afford those securi:ies which are essential to the' pre servation of our Establishment in Church and State. But though many Members of. the Lower House appear to have 'stunk from their duty, we hope better thin;s from the H DITARY COUNSELLORS Of the .
