LETTER TO 7 HM Cs MN T HONOURAELE THE EARL OF ELIX)N. trust I may, without offence, address your 'h.hrdship upon a Bill, which has just passed through one House iiia.favOlie of what is called Catholic Emancipation, and is likely se MOD to come before the other !louse, over which your Lord ibis) presides, with such peace to yourself and satisfaction to etas country. Upon a subject so interesting to all orders, not say as a public but a private interest, penetrating in its conse nhaeseees into the very bosom of their families, most men seem slew - to be conversing round their tables with that freedom - - -womb has long been the glory ofplimen, and with feelings • yrevortion to their seal for welfare of the Church and - teat. eitsupening to converse upon it with a legal friend the other lay. a some eminence in his profession, and, as a private man, It Ole most affable and conciliatory temper, I was glad to find rent he continued of the same opinion which he had expressed te h erne ago, only the more confirmed by the evidence before ese• venerable Honour, and by the occurrences ever since.— • r his sanction I venture to offer to your Lordship's conei siessit;ma the scheme which, in the balance of his hopes and feast. upon a question so important, he proposes as most likely vo lesnove the- apprehensions of the most zealous and conscien tious Protestant, and to conciliate the Roman Catholic, wire is to be conciliated, than all the securities which - 13 111 1 / or can be offered, and which appear to him any thieg but securities under the present circumstances.—As as edeoeitte for the roost comprehensive toleration, and for the fair participation of all his fellow Christians and fellow subjects in the rights and privileges of this United Kingdom, ke would rejoice to see the spirit which may be said to have arisen is the reign of his late Majesty, and seems to be ad vancing in its career under the present, extend to so consi desable a portion of the empire, as the Roman Catholics, who even imagine themselves to be excluded, without reason, from the full and entire blessings of the Union. At the same sinie, as a Protestant, alive to all the dangers which may arise from an unqualified concession, he is reluctant to admit them without certain restrictions and exceptions. Of course, by a law as unalterable as that of the Medes and Persians, the Throne is to be held for ever sacred and inaccessible to all but Protestants. To keep it pure and unpolluted from even a chance of heretical contamination, they who approach .the nearest to the Throne must also be Protestants. No Catholic should at any time be eligible to your high and distinguished office, or to that honour which you share in- common with the other Members of the Honourable Privy Council, who must likewise, upon the same principle, be all without exception Protestants. They, as familiar friends, and walking together in counsel with his Majesty, ought not to be disturbed in their harmony and friendship by any conflict of religious opinions —the most deadly of all conflicts ; and the High Chancellor, as Keeper of his Conscience, should never be permitted to usurp that dominion over it, which every good Catholic must be at all times anxious to attain. Such intimate friends and counsellors of Ca3sar, like his wife, ought to be as free as pos sible from every the least suspicion. Nor, should they be exposed by temptations, to which they must yield in proportion to their conscience, by the very force of their own religious persuasion, to . interfere with the oath which lie takes at his coronation, or with the pure Protestant Faith upon which the Royal House of Brunswick holds the sceptre, and the people have so long enjoyed under its sway— blessings so pre-eminent both in Church and State. That these, however, may be preserved inviolate, it is neces sary to impose another restriction upon the Roman Catholics, to quell the apprehensions which have been expressed in so many of the petitions presented against their claims ; but that persevering body, if once they are admitted into Parliament, . should be able by such means of art as, however they may be despised by others, appear natural to them, as sanctified by the end, to gain the ascendancy, which they are taught to regard as a right divine of their religion. Under this predominant in fluence, however inconsiderable they might be at first, in com parison with the Protestants in both Houses, they yet might be able by their artifice and intrigue to succeed in passing a statute to repeal all obstacles to their promotion, even to those high honours which are proposed still to be denied to them, till at length by their peculiar zeal, in what they are apt to imagine the cause of Heaven itself, they may arrive at the highest of all honours, and, like the Popes whom they are so ready to follow, while they profess that their kingdom is not of this world, strive to make this world their kingdom, and aim to be Princes and Governors in the land. To guard against this danger, was Mr. Robertson's suggestion to declare the Catholics ineligible to represent any place in England or itcotlaud, leaving them free to represent Irish counties or boroughs, and to sit and vote in the House of Lords. And this he proposed as a temporary expedient, or a sort of trial, bow far the 'lrish Catholic Members would be able to be trusted ; and at a subsequent period, if the Popish influence were not too strong, to let in the representation of Great Bri tain. But, perhaps, the most effectual and satisfactory scheme to both parties, at least to those Members of either, who in dulge not in extremes, would be to allow to the Roman Catho hes a free admission at once into both Houses—only with this proviso, that no one of them, on any account, shall be per mitted to vote, or even speak, upon a question which relates, directly or indirectly, to the rights and interests of the Church. To this there appears to be only one objection, which must be fatal to the - theory, as far as it can be proved, that it will not be easy at all times to put it into practice : the Church and State are so blended, as not always to allow of a clear distinc teen between the rights -and interests of the one and of the other. This is a part of the subject, therefore, which must be left to the decision of those who are qualified, like Y"r Lordship, for such distinctions : if the measure is good in general, it ought not to be defeated on ac- insuot of a few particulars which may be corrected, asj they arise on the spur of th e oc casion, by the deliberative wisdom of Parliament. Dr. - Doyle, with his " towering in tellect," can draw a clear line of demarkation even between the tostrporal and spiritual power of the Pope—a line which is by no mesas so clearly defined to common understandings as the boundary is of the concerns is the Church and in the State. As long as TOUT Lordship lives, this boundary can never be mistaken is one. House, at least, and the Rubicon can never be past as long as you adhere to the principleh which you have for so long and glorious a career maintained—of deliberating maturely that you may be more prompt in action. Others, 'orb° rush to the battle with the temerity of the raw recruit, may coil this system of deliberation an unnecessary display of doubts and scruples, but the valour of the veteran in the ger. vice is ever accompanied with discretion, and the finer shades et' difference which escape the vulgar gaze are obvious in their gust proportions to the microscopic eye of the philosopher, which has been so Asi` exercised to its benefit. It is to that discernment that the mob* are new looking up for a guide in tilde momentous crisis—whey it may bp decided in the small compass of one 13111—whetber the generations to tome are to be Protestants or Papists. In the mean time, may I trust to your Lordship's well known indulgence and good humour, not to consider this suggestion of a humble individual a. , 4 too great a liberty upon a subject where all, from the highest to the lowest; have so dear and sacred an interest at stake. • AM ICUS ET INIIIIICORUM.

The French Papers which arrived last night contain accounts of the reception of the Duke of NOItTIitiMBIERLAND by the King of FRANCK. All the honours usually offered to Ambassadors Ex traordinary were extended to the Duke. Three of the Royal carriages, filled with Officers of the Court, proceeded to his Grace's Hotel, and returned with three other carriages, containing the Ambasgador and his suite. The Kura re ceived his Grace sitting on his Throne, and sur rounded by his Officers of State. The following is extracted from the Monitcur of Friday last : PARIS, MAY 12. • To-day. after Mass, his Excellency the Duke of Northum berland, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Britannic Ma. jesty, to be present at the King's Coronation, was presented to his Majesty and the Royal Family in a public audience. The Duke of Ragusa, Major-General of the Royal Guard, whom his Majesty had appointed to accompany the Ambassa dor, Baron La Live, and M. de Vitiens, hating repaired to his Excellency's hotel, conducted him to the Tuileries in the Royal carriages. The Marquis Dreux Breze, Grand Master of the Ceremonies of France,. Marquis de Rochemore, Master of the Ceremonies, and Baron Saint Felix and Viscount de Geslin, received the Ambassador at the foot of the grand staircase, and accompanied him to the audience. The Marquis de Riviere, Captain of the Garden du Corps, received his Excellency at the door of the apartment of the Gardee, who were under arms. The King was on his throne and the Dauphin on his right hand, and on his left the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Bourbon, Prince of Conde, and surrounded by the great officers of the Cr Own. At the entrance - of the - Ambassador the King rose, and his Excellency having been presented to the King by Baron La Live, complimented his Majesty in these terms : " Sir,—l. have the honour to appear before your Majesty, charged with felicitations from the King my master on the ap proach of your Majesty's Coronation. " In expressing - the most ardent wishes for the prosperity of your Majesty, the King my master is equally induced by his generous principles, and by a cherished remembrance of a private friendship. " I have also the orders of my King to express to your Ma jesty the wish which he constantly feels for the maintenance of the good understanding which exists between the two nations, and which is as essential to their mutual interests as to the general happiness of mankind." After hi* compliment the Ambassador presented his creden tials to the King, who gave them to Baron de Darnas, Mini ster of Foreign Affairs. The King replied " 51. le Ambassador—l receive with the snore pleasure the expression of the sentiments which you address to me in the name of his Britannic Majesty, as they are perfectly in unison with my own. I shall always remember with gratitude the proofs of friendship which he gave me in times of misfortune. I hope that no circumstance—no event, will ever trouble the union which ought to prevail between two nations made to esteem and to love each other." The audi ences o f t h e Ki ng a nd the Royal Family being finished, the Amba ssa d ors, an d t h ence t o hi s hotel, with the same cere his Excellency was conducted back to the saloon of monies as were observed in conducting him to the audience. The [hereditary Prince of Schwartzenburg Sondushausen was presented to the King and Royal Family in a private audience. At two o'clock the King gave a pa blic audience to Sidi Alah mouth, Envoy of the Bey of Tunis, who complimented his Majesty on hi s access i on , an d delivered his credentials. The same day the British Ambassador Extraordinary dined in the apartments of the Dauphin, at a table of 45 couverfs ( Prom the Etuile, dated Saturday, May 14.) The Marquis de Caraman arrived at Milan on the 29th; the Prince de Ilaefeld the same day ; on the 2d of May M. de Ta tischeff and Sir 11. Wellesley. The Ministers of Denmark and Sweden, and in genera l a ll t h e persons h o ldi ng dipl oma tic situations at Vienna, are arrived or expected every moment, as well as the Duc tie Illneas, who was at Florence a few days ago. The Emperor will beat Mtmza on the Bth, and make his entry into Milan on the 10th. Workmen are employed night and day in decorating the'principal streets through which his Ma jesty will pass. On the 13th the Emperor and his household will go to meet the King of Naples. The companies of Life Guards of the Archduke Viceroy, the Noble Guard of Lombardy, consisting of sixty men, a complete Regiment of Lancers and H ussars, two of Grenadiers, and two of Foot, 10,000 men, form the escort. The city will be illumi nated, as well as all the theatres. On his arrival the Emperor will proceed to the cathedral, when the Archbishop will chaunt " Fe I►eum." (From ihr Courier Franaire of Friday, May 13.) A private letter from ?Ante, dated the 16th of April, con tains the fidlowing details " The army landed between Motion and Coron, by Ibrahim Pacha, was 12,000 strong, who immediately after the debarka tion directed their course t , ) Navarino. Five hundred Greeks shut up in that place, sustaineil the first attack of the Turks, directed by European officers. Two thousand Mainotes marched up to the relief of the besieged, and (headed by their General, Murtzino) obliged the Turks to draw back upon Modon and Coron. At the same time 35 Greek vessels, under the conduct of the Vice- Ashniral Sactouris, set out in search of Ibrahim Pacha, who withdrew with his fleet towards Candia, to which place the Greeks have pursued him. "At the first reports of landing of the Turks, the President Conduriottis sent A naguostara, with 4,500 men, to takepossession of the most advantageous positions. Conduriott s him se lf marc h e d i from Tripolitza, with ,500 Greek. Anagostara joined the Mainotes and then fought the Turks near Navarino; 2,000 Turks were slain on the field of battle, and 500 prisoners have been sent to Napoli de Romania. Conduriottis soon afterwards came up with hie troops, and joining the other Greeks, they pursued the Turks, who took refuge in the defiles of Garouni ; but any later events are unknown. The Wit; of Nestor again smiles on the conquering (=reeks. On the lit of April, the Admiral Miaulis sailed frtim the port of Hydra with 45 vessels, in order to meet the fleet from Constantinople.

German Papers, which arrived last night, con tradict the intelligence of the taking of Navarina and Calatnata, by InttAtttst PActiA. On the contrary, it is affirmed that the PAcII.A contents himself with throwing up entrenchments in his position between Coron and Motion, and waiting for more troops and supplies, and in preparing his army for long and fatiguing marches. The naval force of the insurgents in the ports of Hydra and •Spezzia. is estimated at 30 armed vessels, and Ll. fireshipt. No action had taken place up to the 20th of March. Amongst the extracts from the French Papers is another version of the landing of Init./tint between Motion and Coron. The following article - is taken from the Austrian Observer of the 3d May t CONSTAWTINOTLX, MAT 11. The second division of the Egyptian fleet of 56 ships, with about 5,000 men on board, sailed froin Suda the 13th of March, and, without being molested on the voyage by Greek vessels, landed on the 16th between Coron and Motion. As soon as the troops were landed the fleet sailed on the 20th for Modon, and was on the 24th near the island of Candia, where soon after a division of 25 Greek vessels appeared to observe its motions. This is probably the same flotilla, the sailing of which for Hydra, on the 17th March, was announced in the Journal of that place on the 18th. The entire naval force of the insur gents, which at the latter end of March was ready to sail in the ports of .llydra and Spezzia, is stated by an eye-witness ' who lately arriv e d i t S myrna , to amount to 36 arme d vesse l s and 11 fire-ships. The report spread here just before the departure of the last mail, that Ibrahim l'acha, immediately after the first landing, had sent a division of troops to Nayarino, and taken possession of the port and fortress, while another division had advanced against Ca lamata, is not confirmed, but the Porte has on the contrary re ceived positive information that Ibrahim Pacha contents him self for the present with entrenching himself in his position be tween Coron and Modon, and waiting for more troops, ammu nition, and provisions, mean time constantly exercising his_ troops, and preparing them for long and fatiguing marches.— Except a few insignificant skirmishes ' in which a few prisoners were made on both sid es , no act i on ,had taken place up to the 20th of March between the Egyptians and the Greeks in the Mores. [The Hydra Journal of the 18th of March, confirms this. —We may judge of the tal e to ld b y t h e Journal des Debats o f 21st April, under the head of /,ante, 13th March, stating that 4,000 Egyptians had been cut to pieces on the 28th February. —Note of Austrian Obv,Tver.] Nothing is certainly known here of the military arrange. ments made by the Greeks to oppose the progress of Ibrahim Pacha. There is no doubt th a t Concluriottt is appointed COM.. mander-inChief by sea and land ; but some accounts say that the Government at Napoli, at the desire of the troops, had offered the command of the troops to Colocotroni, who had re fused it, unless all the other chiefs confined with him at Hydra were released, and the Runteliots under Goura sent out of the Peloponnesus, a demand which, for evident reasons, was reject ed by the ruling party. We are equally without information, as to the motions of the Seraskier, Reschid Pacha, and of the Paella of Negropont, who it is known, has been joined by Odysseus. On the 27th of February, Thebes and Athens were alarmed at the approach of a corps of 2,000 Albanians, but it soon appeared that they were going from Zeitocini by way of Mola, and Talanta to Negropont, to strengthen the garrison of that place. In ge neral it seems that the operations will not begin with energy, and on a combined plan, till the Seraskier of Albania shall have advanced as far as the Gulf of Lepanto, which has hitherto been prevented by the long-continued severe weather, and the deep snow that has fallen on those mountains. The first division of the fleet equipped here sailed to the Dar danelles on the sth of the month, under the command of Niala Bey (Vice-Admiral) Tahir Bei. Since then a corvette has been launched, and while the works in the docks and the arsenal are urged forward with all possible activity, sailors continue to be pressed, to man the vessels intended to join the fleet. Letters from Stockholm are contained in the German Papers above mentioned. By these Letters it appears that Sweden is anxious to render tardy justice to the Spanish American Provinces by recognizing . their independance; indeed they go so far as to say they have enter tained the intention ever since the year 1811, Why has she not done so ? and thus rendered the recognition a little less equivocal, We give the followng extracts : STOCKHOLM, APRIL 29. Count Lowenhjelm and suite sets out this morning to attend the Coronation of the King of France. _ _ _ A French Paper says, Sweden recognised the independence of the South American States three years ago. It has done more ; for it declared its intention of recognising them already in 1811, when the whole Continent was governed by Napoleon, and was acknowledged King of the Indies by all the European Powers except England. This is proved by the report made at the beginning of 1812 by the Crown Prince to the King, on the administration of the Government during his illness, in which are the following words : " When Spain and Portugal are restored to tranquillity, these countries will offer to the Swedish trade all the advantages which the perfection of the Swedish iron ensures. Our rela tions with South America are entirely intercepted • intestine wars desolate those fine countr i es. Wh en they shall have a stable government, the production of the kingdom must meet with an extensive sale there." It is now nearly two years since the Government, persisting in its system of neutrality and independence, gave notice that the flags of the South AMerican States in the ports of which Swedish ships were well received, should have the same recep tion in our ports. Now that these fine countries are no longer desolated by intestine war, and have a stable government, we hope that ours will put us in possession of the advantages, which the trade with them must afford.—(Stockholm's Porten.)

The following letter reached us this mortling (via Otranto) from our Correspondent employed at the lonian Islands, dated so late as the 14th ult. : - 6 ' Court', 15Tii APRIL, 1823. " When it is considered, tat even here it is next to impos sible to procure any thing like accurate intelligence, relative to the proceedings between the Greeks and Turks, it may perhaps be satisfactory to he enabled to state, on the authority of an eye witness, the following recent occurrences : —ln the latter end of March 17,000 Egyptian troops were landed at Motion, from ves sels chiefly und e r Austrian colours, which had been conveyed from the port of Lerida, in Ca:idia, by a Turkish squadron of 11 sail, under the commend of an Admiral. About the same time this squadron threw supplies of provisions and military stores, into the fortresses of Patrass and Coron, and thus, effectually relieved the only strong holds which the Turks at present possess in the Morca. A t Patrass, I was told, in the beginning of this month, that Trelawny, who, with Odysseus. lately deserted from the Greeks, had joined the garrison ot Lepanto. Trelawny is the same person who, some three years ago, accompanied Lord Byron as the voluntary and disinterested champion of liberty and of Greece; but it seems that the weight and solidity of some arguments recently advanced by the Turks quite convinced this Phil. Hellenist, as well as his worthy compeer, Odysseus, that they had es p ouse d the wrong cause : where shall we find a term - mean enough to designate, in art Englishman, such a despicable apostacy ? On the 7th instant two of our ships of war visited Navarin, the amcie.nt Pylus, the kingdom of the venerable Nestor— " That sacred seer, whose comprehensive view, " The past, the present, and the future knew." " The modern Pylians, at this moment, stands in great need of a little of the warlike wisdom of their immortal progenitor. Navarin is situated about fifteen miles to the northward of Modon, and possessed of an excellent harbour, which renders it a place of some importance to the Greeks ; at the above date its town was closely invested by 9,000 Turkish troops, who were keeping up a desultory fire from two batteries, the nearer of which was raised at the distance of about 700 yards from the town walls, on which it had made a perceptible impression ; the citadel of the town returned their fire with great spirit ; several shots passed over the English ships which were beating into the harbour. Four Greek men of war had just arrived from Napoli de Romania, and brought a very seasonable supply of shells and ammunition. The Greeks seemed in the highest spirits, and were quite communicative; they had lately re ceived a reinforcement of 1000 men—the garrison now consisted of 1,600 men. The Turks had- been bombarding the town for the preceding ten days, but had done little or no da mage, while the had made several sorties, and killed. great numbers; they also confidently assured the English Officers that 15,000 Greeks were not more than four hours dis ltaatnet thefr o niN Turks,a v r a i n n d , w to i t o h b w t a h b o l s i e m assistance o t f h e llodo !cid tbeforeo ans, hi end of the month.—" Audi alteram portent." On the very same day the Turks at Modon asserted, that they were in hourly expectation of the return of the Turkish squadron from Candia, with 60,000 men, who, in the end of March last were left at buds, ready for embarkation, with whom they intended to Starch over the Alorea, and rid the world of those Grecian dogs, whom they had suffered too long to disgrace the face of the earth.—Such was the information procured on the spot, the threats of each party respectively, were mere'sounds and fury signifying nothing," although both parties deserve full credit for the malignity of their intentions, which, there is no doubt they would instantly fulfil, could it be done without personal risk or bodily exertion. It is really painful to reflect on the probable duration of .this murderous warfare, which, one the one had, is carried on with all the haughty hatred and insatiable rancour, naturally inspired by a sense of superiority, and the dictat es o f an intolerant religion ; while, on the other hand, it is prosecuted with all that cruelty and excess of which men can be guilty, when their worst passions are exasperated by the meinory,of a thousand " Wrongs unredress'd, and insults nnreveng'd." To judge from the present attitude of th rig s, there does not exist the most distant prospect of a termination to this unavail ing effusion of human blood ; unless an end so desirable shall be effected through the friendly interference of some one of the Powers of Western Europe.—( Hampshire Telegraph.) COLUMBIA.—Sock is the rising state of this Republic, that we are assured the Government employed in preparing a pm% erful naval defence, and that a ship of the line, two frigates, and a sloop of war, are now in great forwardness.

ROTHSCHILD, E.q. arrived in town this morning from Paris, anti inrir►ediately proceeded to Samford Hill, his country rrsidence. Advices from China to tl , end of December state, that the Edict promulgated by the Chinese Government, for the importation of rice into China, duty free, was in ford• to the beginning of November. The quantity of that article so f& dent to exempt a ship from duty, was 4,050 pekuls. The recent embasNv frino the Burmese to the Chinese Erupt ror had ext•ited considerable attention at Canton. The Court of Pekin, how ever, a•as decidedly hostib , to that of Ave. The principal objection urged by the GovernMent of Cochin China, in answer to a late application from the Burmese for aid, was the - apprehension of giving umbrage to the Court of Pekin.
