POR Tll% St Mt. ROMAN CATHOLICS. Me: Enurne,--As you have taken the lead, and strenuously persevere, in attempting to guard our happy ESTABLISHMENT in CHURCH and STATE from the ineVitable dangers which would arise from the admission of PAPISTS into a share of Legislative Power, it is incumbent on all true Protestants and Friends of the. Constitution to give their most active suppoft t(5 your laudable endeavours. The PROTESTANT ITIERARCiI must nor, at this critical period, slumber over the at tempt to rush into Political Power on the part of he enemies of the National Faith ; and as you have liberally opened the columns of your loyal and con sistent Journal to their efforts in support of that National Faith, their negligence will be the more reprehensible. Your Paper, Mr. Editor, may be deemed the PROTESTANT as well as POLITICAL Sirs, and I hope that ,the splendbur- of its rays will pierce through the artifices of the Religious as well as Politiral Foes of the Country, and en lighten the People in general into a resolute de. , votion to our Constitution, so formidably threat ened by Radical Reformers on the one hand, and Popish Bignis on the other. Proceed, then, in the same laudable and consistent course, and your MORAL SUN will justify a more rational ad miration than the Persians pay to that Luminary which is only to be considered as a type of the wisdom, splendour, and benevolence of the Source whence it issued. A PROTESTANT. INDISCREET PRO'T'ESTANTS. The subjoined Requisition was recently ad dressed to the Mayor of Cork, but he happened tai possess more prudende and good sense than the Mayor of Dublin, and-therefore gave the answer which follows it " To the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Cork. " We, the Undersigned, request you will be pleased to call a Meeting of the Protestant In bitants in this City, on as early a day as niay be most convenient to you, for the purpose of pre paring a Petition to Parliament, for the removal of those disabilities which affect our Catholic Countrymen."—[Here fdllow the signatures.] " Mansion-House, Cork, 25th Feb. 1819. " GENTLEMEN,—I have considered the Requi sition you were pleased to hand me for calling a Meeting of the Protestant Inhabitants of this City, for the purpose, as it expresses, of " pre " paring a Petition to Parliament, for the removal " of those disabilities Which affect our Catholic " Countrymen." " Conceiving, as I do, that convening a Meet ing for that purpose would be out of the line of my official duty as Chief Magistrate, 1 must beg leave to decline complying with your request ; being besides convinced, that the public discus sion of th.t subject would only tend to create disunion, which it is my anxious wish to avoid, and that a question of such magnitude should be left to the unbiassed wisdom of the Legislature." A Meeting of those Gentlemen only who signed the Requisi:ion was since held at CONWAY'S Tavern, to consider what steps should be taken in consequence of the MAYOR's refusal to convene . a public Meeting. It was determined that on next Saturday a Meeting should be called of such Protestants of this City as may happen to agree• with them in sentiment on the Roman Catholic Q:lcstion.—(Cork Advertiser, Feb. 27.) INSOLVEN 1' DEB rotas' ACT. A Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of the Ward of Farringdon Without, was yesterday held at St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet -street, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament, against the renewal of the existi ng laws, for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, Mr, Alderman WAITIIMAN in the Chair. Mr. TuomPsoN after several observations, mov ed a string of Resolutions declaratory of the evils resulting from the continuance of the present system. M. FEARON (the author of a late tract, en titled, Sketches of America) seconded the Reso lutions. Mr. Crtoox stated some cases of extreme hard ship on ctediturs, and concurred in the motions proposed. The Resolutions were agreed to una voce, likewise a petition to each House of Parliameni founded thereon. The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to Mr. Alderman Waithman, and the Meeting adjonrned. • BOW - STRECT.—Yesterday, at o'clock, the Go vernor of the Penitentiary, on Milbank, entered the Office in a state of great agitation, and com municated to Mr. BIRNI6 that a state of insubor dination and alarming mutiny had manifested it. self amongst the prisoners under his chatge. The Magistrate instantly dispatched a party of the patrole, well armed, to the prison. A communica tion was made to Mr. BIRNIS in the evening, an nouncing that the refractory prisoners were sub dued by their being strongly secured in irons, which had been obtained from Newgate and other prisons. The well known fashionable Hotel, STEVENS'S, in Bond -street, has furnished the title to a new Satirical Novel, which promises to excite a very extraordinary degree of interest, from the num ber of original characters pourtrayed, and from the real talent and humour displayed in the plot and dialogue. 1 1 0 E t 11 V . .

FOR THE SUN. ENGLISH STAG-HUNTING IN HUNGARY. [THE PARTICULARS OP A REMARKABLE CHASE.] On the 24th of September, 1818, at ten o'clock in the morning, Prince PAUL ESTEREIAZY, attend ed by a numerous party of friends, quitted Eiseca stadt (a magnificent residence of his father's, about thirty miles distant front Vienna), to enjoy a Stag-Hunt, a diVersion altogether novel in Hungary., At eleven they arrived in the centre of a beautiful plain, in front of the Castle, where they found the fox-hounds of Lord STEWART, three stalls or cart iages, containing stags, and a mime, rolls assemblage of sportsmen. The Prince and his parry immediately mounted, and preparations commenced for turning off a stag, while every heart beat high with anxious expectation. At this moment the Princess, attended by several. Ladies in barouches, drove up toewitness this no vel but beautiful scene. The Morning, wills breath all incense, and with cheek all bloom, was heavenly. The signal given, the carriage was opened, and the stag stepped forth in all his na tive majeSty ; looking rou n d with a mixture of surprise and contempt, he bounded off in 'tight. style. When viewed at the distance of about two miles, - the hOtinds were cast off; after a little (lashing they stooped, and challenged in good form. " [lark forward, hark for ward, Tantivy," was the cey ; the crash became general, and after one checkless burst of forty minutes, the gallant hounds pulled down their gable. The PRINCE on Fitzoriver, , Lard STE waet on Coy, Mr. Frezany ort Domino, M Beoom Een on Harriet, Prince ‘VE ZEL LICHTENSTEIN on HippOnlOntiS, Count SCHON.. FIELD on Tomtit, Count EsrEarlaZy On Fitzwil liam, the Huntsman on Boxer, a ninth on Beldestom, were . in at the death. Having blooded the hounds, the party returned to the plain. Fresh horses were itt attendance, but no change was made except by Lord STEWART, Who mounted Robin. It was now 1 o'clock when the OnER Fotts - r MEISTER (or head Gamekeeper) again opened a stall, and produced a stag much superior to the first. After eight minutes law the hounds were cast off. They went at a rattling pace for five miles, When the stag was beaded at Nellap ; the check was momentary ; lie took a way t hroueli the fine galloping country, and after a noble burst of fifty minutes, he entered the extensive Vineyard of Margaret hen. The 'wands were im mediately drawn off to prevent injury to the vines, and he was driven through by the peasants trotting before them, in most majestic style.---. This check was amply compensated for (at least to some) by a scene truly intersting. Groups of beautiful Ilungarian Maids were reaping the rich harvest of Bacchus— Their coats were kilt, and did sae sweetly shaw Their hare white legs, that whiner were than straw, Their cockernonies snooded up fir' sleek, Their basset lochs hung waving on the check. Vide Gentle Sheplie2'd. While regaling on the grateful juice, we heard a kotlloo front the opposite side of the vineyard ; bark forward was the cry; the stag now faced the fine plain of Margaret ben, over which xve went at great speed. On approaching, a gentle but long , declivity we (fescue(' the glassy Lake of Sultz, which the stag had taken, and was now nearly half way across the distance front one shore to the other, being rather better titan an English mile, The hounds immediately - took ahe'kvater ; their noble Master (Lord STEWART), Prince ESTER HAZY, Mr. FITzRoY, and Mr. BLUOSIFIELD, Mr. WEATHERLEY, and two English grooms belonging to the PRINCE, dashed in along with them. kl'reo the fluorstuan and JACK the Whipper in, both. Englishmen (recorded with regret), bolted with the Hungarians. The scene was now certainly unparalleled in the annals of European sporting. A stag swimniing across a mighty Lake, a pack of hounds in full cry swimming by the sides of the horses, encouraged by their daring riders. The effort was desperate, hot irresistible ; the very water appeared to give a tacit consent to the at tempt ; it was placid and perfectly motionless, save a gentle stridulation caused by thousands of will slacks, which seemed to sit in judgment upon the rashness of the sportsmen. Front the center .e the Lake they beheld the noble stag reach the shore at a moment when an insurance at Lloyd's would have been very high against their doing so ; happily, itt a quarter of an hour more, their gallant steeds tirought them safe to shore, attend ed by their mute pack of hounds, which had no wind left for music. After a pause of a few mi nutes, to collect the hounds and breath their horses, they challenged at rite very edge of the Lake, and, run in a direct line for a mile and a halt, to the summit of a strong ascent into a small walnut cover, where the dashers were joined by their long lost companions, who had more prudently pre ferred gallopping on dry land to swimming in a Lake. Here the stag wilted back, and bent his course down the mountain towards the Lake again ; it was now difficult to determine whether the effort made by the hounds or horsemen to prevent his gaining the Lake was greatest. A. second swimming appeared to be desired by neither ; he made a desperate effort to gain the Lake, did so, but it was only to die ; eight of the leading hounds pulled him down about twelve yards from the shore ; most pitiously he bayed. Poor stag, the dogs thy haunches gore, The tears run down thy face; The Huntsman's pleasure is no more, His joys were in the chase. With a hey ho chevy, hark forward, Bark forward, tantivy ; Arise, the burden of my song, This day a Stag must die.—(o/c/ rouder.) Thus ended a chase of fourteen miles by land and one by water, that ‘vould trot have disgraced a pack of the best appointed stag hounds in Europe. This was the first time that Lord STEwART'S pack had run a stag. All the horses in the field were English, except one which was rode by a Lieut.-General of Cavalry, and which proved very deficient in speed for the business of the day. The sportsmen returned (highly de ligt,ted with their day's sport) to the Princely Mansion of Eisenstadt, where they partook of magnificent banquet to refresh atm after the tatieues of - the day.
