FOR THE SUN. 'POPERY DEFEATED ; AND THE ESTABLISHMENT SAVED. Mn. EDITOR—I am too exhausted with the watchings and the expectations of lest night to say much. But I shall speedily return to my duty. Upon the speech of the venerable Mover—l am sick of the epithet, Sir—Mr. GRATTAN and Major CARTWRIGHT have it all to themselves--I have many observations to make. He felt his tray very cautiously, and very scientifically ; no thing could have been more neatly managed— but of this hereafter. 'I he gtuallue , s of the majority does not dispil it me. IVben we reflect bow the motion was framed, not for the grout of emancipation Popery, but to consider whether she should he emancipated or not, it, will readily occur that many voted for the discussion who would have voted against the grant. The true mode of As certaining the sense of the House would hare bet n by moving for leave , to bring in an Eman- cipation Bill at once. But it would not have been as safe a mode, nor as shrewd a one, It is ttereated, however--blessed be the God of the Protestants I One .Argutnent has been used by the friends or fearers of Poperyi which I cannot delay to no tice :—That Popish Emancipation is necessaty to the security of the Protestant Establishment.—Does ti►is mean that the Papists will rise in arms . against us if their Emancipation is not surren dered to them ?—I HOPE IT'DOES. Already I have expressed, Sir,. my progressive reliance on the Commons, on the Lords, and on the REGENT. That reliance is unimpaired—it is increased—it is confirmed. I look forward to repeated victory, until the only effectual measure for silencing the voice of Popery shall be adopt ed. To that measure all my views are directed. VIGIL. May 4. FOR THE SUN. PETERBOROUGH JUSTICE. Mr. EDITOR—The reverend life-and-death-Men of Peterborough, ate determined, I see, on cling ing to their judicial privileges. Happily, how ever, there were no wooden Toms, whereon to exercise this time their discretion of the Royal mercy ; a brace of pilferers only came before the brace of parsons, who at the last Quarter Ses sions had the whole Bench to themselves, their discretion therefore could reach no farther than whipping and imprisonment. My animadversions, irmead of dissuading one Clergyman from the exercise Of functions so va riant from his sacred office, have excited a reve rend brother to share his activity. At least, the superior intelligence of A:mm/5 has had this blessed operation ; nevertheless, I am more than consoled, by finding that the lay Magistrates have left to our parsons the undivided amusement of passing sentence. Possibly, Sir, I may resume the subject ; but the antagOnist who encountered me so rashly, aid dropped me so hastily, must not again ex pect my notice. If AMICUS returns to the con test, he must assume another signature. I fling no spear to hit the back of a flying adtergary. May 1, 16!9. JUSTUS. FOR THE SUN. PRAYERS FOR THE KING. 4 $ The effectual fervent prayer fd a righte4as man availeth mach." MR. EDITOR-1 ettrl so pleased with the gentle rebuke which the Rev, Mr. GURNEY has given to those Clergymen who omit in the service of their Church a prayer for the restoration of the King's health, that I cannot help sending you my sin cere approbation thereof. I know not any excuse they can have for not constantly supplicating, on the knees of their hearts, the Author of all goodness, to so desirable an end. If to a physical certainty it were impos sible to obtain it by the art of man, it would be an impious presumption to say that it is impos sible to GoD At all events, Sir, our prayers for it are evidence of our veneration for one of the best of Kings, and that he ever and anon reigns in our hearts, only to he forgotten when we are no more. I say this, as a Roman Catholic Priest, hound with joy by my native allegian'ce to a Monarch in whom there is no guile ; and although by my edu cation I am taught to owe n religious allegiance to the lineal descendant of Hitn, who shake as ne ver man shake, 1 have no wish for trust or power, civil or political. 1 know that Church and State, as by law established, are indivisibly one, and That the admission into confidence of a friend to one, and an enemy to the other, would be gross nonsense, and an act of madness. As a sound and true subject, I would neither accept the office of Secretary of State. nor would I bold the Great Seals, were they offered me; because, if I did, I should wound my conscience by the exer cise of their duties in a temporal sense, while I was adverse to the religion of my country, and should be ashamed to sit in Council with its genuine Members, who, as enemies to Popery, oar people call heretics. Protestants may class 114 e as one, and thereby defame ; but as a true Briton, and, I hope, a good Catholic Priest, I thank Mr. GuaN EY for his chastening remarks on his neglectful brethren, and I assure him, I shall continue to pray in my Chapel for the King's ecovery to the last beating of his pulse.—Quivis ateret ickm. FATHER O'LEARY. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. SUPPLEMENT TO THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE Of SATUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1819. The Officers of this Garrison, anxions to have within its walls some memorial of the splendid' . achievements of the British Army.in Portugal and Spain, came to the resolution of erecting a Bust of Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of WELLING... TON ; and, considering bow materially the opera tions of the Peninsular War were facilitated by the resources of Gibraltar, we know not a spot where British Officers could so well record the Duke's heroic deeds as in this fortress, situated as it is on the frontiers of the very laud his army saved. The Non-commtuissioned O ffi cers and Private Soldiers of the Garrison have also had' an oppor tunity of joining their Officers in this mark of re, spect towards the illustrious Duke, and their united exertions have raised a mound in the New Alameda, upon which a very handsome column for supporting the. Bust has been recently erected. Preparations were made, (hiring the last week; for fixing the Bust upon the column, and this day, being the Annivt rsary of the Battle which tenni- . 'rated, at Toulouse, the glorious exertions of our Peninsular At my, has been selected.as the most appropriate for the ceremony. .At three o'clock, this afteryo•rn, his Excellency the LIEUTENANT- GovEßNou, accompanied by the Nlilitary, Naval, and Chit Officers of the Garrison, proceeded front the couvent to the mound in the New Alameda, where a guard of honour and four bands of,trinsie were stationed, •the Bust itself being covered by the colours of the different regiments. The troops composing the Garrison were stationed on the upper and lower sides of the Alameda. Upon the arrival of his Excellency on the mound, the Bust was finally fixed upon the site destined for its reception, and the colours being removed, the whole was exposed to public view, the griard‘ of honour presented arms, the hands struck up " God save the King,'' and three cheers were given by the line ; after which the Bands played " See the'Conquering Hero comes." The cere mony was concluded by the Officers and Soldiers drinking the Duke of WELLINGTON'S health upon the spot, while the repeated cheers of the troops were echoed by the surrounding spectators. A• vast concourse of the most respectable inhabitants. had assembled on the Alameda, and the weather' being remarkably fine, we have seldom witnessed a more gratifying scene. A Ball is to be given by the LIBUTENANT-GO• vcarroa 04 Monday evening, in honour of the occasion. The Bust, which has been cast in bronze from some of the guns captured by the Duke of WEL LINGTON, is considered a very striking likeness of his Grace, and does the highest credit to the ta lents of the Artist, Mr. WESTMACOTT. The following Latin Inscription is engraved on a brass shield, which will he fixed upon the column in the course of a few weeks : INIAGINEM. HANC. ARTHUR'. WELLESLEY. WELLINGTONLE. DUCIS. A. D.

In giving the following translation of the Latin in scription we have adhered as closely as possible to the origi nal, but are aware that the classical force of the Latin is in a great measure lost, This Bust of Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, was placed here, in the year 1819, by the British :',lilitary and Civil Officers of this Garrison, to evince their admiration of the splendid achievements and military talents of that great unconquered General, who, by the Blessing of Almighty God (in the reign of Gent ge 111., King of Great Britain and Ire land, the Father of his Country), while commanding the British Forces and their Allies, the Spaniards and Portu guese, in a state of affairs the most trying and almost despe rate, after a long and arduous contest, after battles innu metable, and nearly as many victories, having driven the French front Cadiz even beyond the Pyrenees and the Ga ronne, at last most happily liberated these regions, at that time cruelly oppressed by the merciless Armies of France, front their implacable foe ; and, finally, when that most de structive war had again broken out in France and Belgium, finished it by the single battle of Waterloo, thus rescuing Europe from impending tyranny, gaining immortal glory not only for himself, hut tor the British Aims, and deserving must highly of his King, his Country, and Mauliind. The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have not arrived. (From the American Papers received Yesterday.) NEW YORK, APRIL 10.—A Letter from Wil mington (N. C.) states, that information was re ceived there on the 31st March, that a Portu guese ship of 700 tons, prize to some privateer, had stranded near Beaufort ; that the ship had gone to pieces, but most of her valuable cargo, consisting of cochineal, cottons, teas, bides, in digo, &c. bad been saved. The Portuguese Con sul, on hearing the above information, proceeded immediately to the spot, and demanded the pro perty ; but was informed by the privateersmen that it was their property, and the American Go vernment bad nothing to do with' their flag, and t hey would not give up any of the cargo. The Consul bas applied to the Government Autho rities. An attempt' was made on the 27th of March to set fire to the town of Savannah, but it plowed unsuccessful. Several persons had been taken up on suspicion and committed to prison. Though we congratulated our Countrymen yes terday on the result of Monday night's Debate on the Catholic Question, yet we cannot but deeply regret the small majority which appeared on a Question of so much importance to our pre sent Establishment in Church and State. We indulged a hope that many Members withdrew from a supposition that the debate would be ad journed, but we conceive that nothing should have been left to conjecture. The Catholics, no doubt, will triumph on so small a majority as two against them, and will renew the attack with increased confidence. Accordingly we find that The New Times, which was once what is styled a Ministerial Paper, but which seems now to have en listed in the bands of Opposition, (having so reso lutely espoused the interests of POPERY,) declares this day, that it " cannot but hail the result of the Debate as the forerunner of those conciliatory measures by which we have always hoped to see all descriptions of his MAJESTY'S Subjects united in zealous attachment to a free Constitution, and a paternal Government." The obvious meaning of this passage is, that the Parts-rs should possess all that they demand. But it so, our " Free Constitution" would in the end be annihilated, and we should be brought under the " paternal Government" of To e Pore. We should then see how be would treat his Protestant Children. The nursery, or school, would most probably be Smithfield, and they would be taught by fire, torture, and the gibbet, the only way to Heaven.—But this is not all— the same Paper confidently avows its belief that argument can little serve the Claims of Popery, and that they are " assisted by the spirit of a genuine liberality which pervades the minds of Protestants in general throughout the Empire." This is a question of fact, and we, on the con trary, believe that the Protestants, throughout the Empire, are alarmed at the pretensions of PorkizY, except the comparatively few Orotesiants too weak to judge of the past or to We, see consequences, or blinded by a false' lib rality, support those demands which lead t our total destruction as a Protestant People."' We heartily concur with Lord ga NY° h : in his opposition to the cell core passed Lord CARNARVON last night on the Clergy: because they come forward in support our Orthodox Clittrch It is their duty to do ilai and they would have neglected their duty most _ reprehensibly if they had not come forward 0; a danger so alarming. For our own Par t s can boast of some Correspondents of high ran t „ in the Church ; and we exhort them m ost earn ly to persevere in favouring us with their collt uid : nications, not only at the present critical 11 1 ° 1uell ; when the danger which threatens us s hall turned aside; but until the PAPISTS shall be cull ; O tented, if possible, with the utmost latit ude ' Religious Toleration, and shall never sia' n P re , I , i sutne to disturb the peace of the Country wt limed demands of Legislative Power.
