IVe insert the brief introduction to these admirable Letters, as it will explain the reason why they were wiitten, and the object which the A.1,11,,r bas in view. " The stihjointd Letters first appeared in Tills ..Slie4 Evening Paper, and formed past of a length ened Correspondence which took place between the Writer a. d a Friend who professed Whig Principles. Hacknied and exhan,ted as the Ro man Ctitliolic Question is, the Winer may per haus he thought both obtrusive anti ridiculous in giving to the Public the result of his limited ob servation upon it. The reason which induced Lint dn it was simply this; he conceived that aithongh So much had been said opine the ques tion, a summary of the principal argaments was sill a desidtratnni, and that the subject itself had been generally cleated more as a party topic and as an annual trial of strength her veen two con tending interests, tlian as one, above all others, intet woven widi Our civil and tcclebiastical polity. lie therefore respectfully solicits those who pro fess to ?do!): the Revolution as their political 3110(1d, to give the Letters a candid perusal. In the discussion of the important matters to which they refer, be has endeavoured to avoid an on eh listian or illitieral spirit ; and however detective the execution may he thought—(and detective it must uecessarily be from the Writer's cotrifiued sphere of action)—he trusts that those with whom be cot seientiously differs in opinion as to the ap plication of Revolution Principles, will excuse him for a:lcon-41e (however feebly) to direct their N , fps to the altar of Constitutional IVliiggism, and to recal them to the exercise of those first principles of our Constitution which were indebt ed to the Revolution for their legitimate line of opeoat ton, um which have been most lamentably infringed npon by lite spurious Liberality and Mistaken Candour of more modern days. " The IVriter has only to repeat that the Let ters cannot boast of much originality, as they are little more than a recapitulation of the observa tions which have been made upon the subject by the ablest men of both parties, whose comments have come under his notice." The Author has introduced before the Letters, a suartnary of the principal events which took place during the Reign of King JANIEs li., whic forcibly shews what we might expect, if the Throne of this Country sho►►ld ever again, which Heaven avert, come into the possession of a Ro- man Catholic Monarch, The following passage contains such striking and impressive truth, that it deserves particular attention : " It would be impossible for any Protestant re ligious es , ablishment to subsist without some species of civil protection ; and this is perfectly accounted for in the difference subsisting between Protestantism and the Roman Catholic religion the latter is a Test Act in itself, as it admits of no toleration to conflicting opinions ; whereas the former, by adwitting of toil religious tolira- tion, rtquit , s some civil a id protect its ascen t'ancy. 'Without some species of Test it runs follow from the very nature of Protevantism and of mankind, that no religious establi,nment found- ea on irs principles rould long subsist ; the mul tiplicity of religions opinions would be s o great, and the multiplicity at cicil interes's and influence arising from the honest exercise of those opinions, so various, that if engrafted into the Stale or admitted !Ivo the Council Chamber, no definite plan► of ac , ion would ever be agreed upon ;—all would be confusion and disorder ; for it must be unkersally at!mirted, that religious Opinions (it arhing from conviction and honestly entertained) •vill ever form the mainsprings of action, whether in the cabinet, the senate, or the closet. If there- fore any particular system of Protestantism► were to lose the supp,:rt of the civil power, tl►e religion i:selt being divitied in interest, and eacl► division struggling for predominance in the supreme go vernment, a spiiit of enm i ty, mistrust, and cabal would be excited, which would eventniilly destroy that zeal for liberty of conscience which now so happily sobsis , s amongst us, and to which, I make PO hesitation in saying, we are indebted tur the Revolution of 1683." It may be proper to observe, thit the first two Letters and all the Notes are new.

To describe the storm that arose upon the presenta- lion of this projet, is utterly impossible. MM. MANUEL, CoNSTANT, aid a number of others On their side, roe at the same moment, and the wildest disorder prevailed. The vestion was as to giving act (according to the technical phrase of the Chamber) to the prnjrt of the Crown, or in other words acknowledging its re . ceplion. It was loudly cow ended by the above mentioned Members that they had a right to speak, and it was firmly decided by the President that the form of acknowledging the reception of the projei, was not a rinestion for deb.“e. The Pre sident at length, amidst great nproar, declared that the acknowledgment was given, and that it was referred to the Bureaux. Ile then called on the Order of the Dry for the resumption of the discussion of the Financial Accounts ; but all efforts to maintain order in the Chamber, or , s. Upon Oil , ptoceedi , g we forbear to offer any rein4,lo, except that it is currently r u moured itt the hie,her circles, that the King's Ministers hay. had the option of anorhec course, preferred the otm now stated, thereby at once evincing to the world their final cleteruitrwion to attempt no thing whatever against the Queen. But how does Ibis agree with the previous determination of the Pi ivy Council, octed upon by the Bishops, of excluding her Majesty's name from the Liturgy nt the Church, snit thereby of withdrawing Runt her the religious lorry and prayers of the people ? Inere is an inconsistency in this procedure that must strike every observer. Her Majesty is re jected by the Church, and recognized by the Courts of Law, and both these acts emanate from the confidential Counsels of the King ! Have they givt 0 tip their first advice to his Majesty upon conviction of its error, ; . or did they in the first instance give a promise to his Majesty which they are hot now ready to fulfil ? to go on with the discussion, were in vain ; uproar became the order of the day, and the most disgraceful scene of confusion ensued. The print ing of the Election Projet was vociferously de manded by numerous voices on the one side, whilst on the other, a con:ittual roar was kept up for proceeding with the discussion of the accounts; the Tribune presented two or three Deputies speaking front it at the same time; others were arraigning the conduct of the President, whilst several were loudly vociferating at each other across the benches. The President at length finding it utterly impossible to restore It will be seen by th e Law Report s , that Messrs. older, suspended the sitting for an hour.

The only business in the House of Commons will be the election of a Speaker. The choice cannot be doubtful, for all must agree in the propriety of having the Chair of that Honourable Assembly still graced,by tl►e sminent abilities, the affable and dignified demeanour, of the Right Hon. Thomas Manners Sutton. His Majesty's appro bation will probably be signified to-morrow.

It is evident that this curiosity of People is not of the ordinary kind, but r : ( laces to matters that involve the honour the Throne and the comfort of the Sovereign / We have extracted an article from ate iliorklis Chronicle of this day, relating to the recogoiti° in the Law Cclurts, of the appointments of ) ` f • MAJESTY, of Messrs. IlaouonAnt and DEN I Lj' as her Attorney and Solicitor• General a nd 01 Chronicle declares that this recognition of partic t lar appointments is a solemn recognition of "all high rights and privileges by the first Tribunal of the Land—the High Courts of Justice." 1.1)1 ' seems to be rather too hasty an inference oil chi part of that Paper. The recognition in question °n i l skews that obstruction nad not been throWn in till way of particular rights, because, perhaps, it vv3l thought that her MAJESTY, under all circutastaac es, was not likely to carry theni into effect. TDe fad certainly proves that her MAJESTY does not. ' 4l reported, act in opposition to her Advisers , i d in that case it is probable that the Ulentlemen tl question would have remonstrated against tip appointments tinder the circunmances alluded 141 and would have declined accepting them, (mi d it might be supposed that they were influenced bf mere petsonal ambition, or the spirit of which it would be an injustice to both of ( l' ei6 Gentlemen to imagine. It, may not be table, also, that the Heads of the Legal Tribo"' ii were taken unawares, and did nut think it suitabls to the dignity of their office to apply to Gove rn: ment to know what was to be done in O ct' peculiar case, and therefore confolmed at once to the established rule, , as in all matters °i the same nature. The Morning. Chronicle or pears to consider this recognition of the Legal Appointments as inconsistent with the exclusion of her name,.trom the Liturgy of t 1 Church. The csses are essentially diderent. ltt one respect, the common practice of the Legal Courts was adopted, because nothing had be en presented to those Courts which should interfe r6 with precedent, but the other relates to tots honour of an earthly Throne, and the awful Or peals of a Nation, with all the solemnities of Kell, gion to the Throne of Grace, in favour of a Pertt'''' upon whom such injurious charges have beet cast, as render it necessary that her character should be fully vindicated, as we trust that tt will be, in the eyes of mankind, before th e prayers of a religious People should b e inclull # ed among the holy ritual of the National Fait !). There is still an attempt to connect this subje c° with rumours of intruded changes in Administro 't ion ; but these rumours are so often put in Cr ctdation, whenever they are &enied necessary to revive the drooping hopes of a Party, that the 4l have now lost all influence upon the feelings al t ` l opinions of the People at large. It has bea t thought somewhat strange that the recogniti° ll of tier NI A isTY'a Legal Appointments should 4 ' l° been received by the VIcE-crIANCRLLOK with a le° gi'otlifi:ld and more direct admissiou of her IVA' pleasure than by the other Law Ant"' ; but it may be considered as a proof 0 6 the report of his having been tmfatioureditc Cu lier Lreteusions is wholly noin6niled. • By letters ft om Cadiz, of the 3lst ult. it apPe B q that the greater pa r t o f t h e transports, engage d for the expedition were still retained in the tor' boor.
