EARL GrttY. A LETTER to the Right lion. Earl GREY, on certain CHARGES advanced by his Lordship in his SPEECH at the late COUNTY MEETING in NORTHUMBER LAND, against the CLERGY of the COUNT V of MR HAM.—By Rev. H. PIIILLPOTTS, ALA. Re,tor of Stan hope. It was our intention to, take an earlier notice of this well written pamphlet, but the pressure of Parliamentary Debates haS, prevented us. The.public has been indebted to the Rev. Author for-several other ..rorks that have raised his name into well merited. esteem. The illiberal eettec 'ekes which were.. thrown upon the clergy:in ge neral, but Tartitulerly those in ,the Diocese of Durham, by' Lord G It EY and Mr. LAMBTO-Nat a late. Meeting :in that County, have drawn forth this pamphlet, which is . written in a meek •but ' manly temper, and- which exposes the inconsis tency of his Lordship's declarations at that Meet ing and in another Place; so pointedly that his opinions in . any. place seem but little entitled to 'regard, 'We learn from that respectable provin cial Journal, . The Durham Advertiser, that this spirited tract has -excited a great -sensation in -Durham and its neighbourhood, and we doubt not that it has produced,full conviction also that the modern Whigs are-advocating doctrines, mere ly for the attainment of of which oh- Niously tend to the destruction of our happy Establishment in Church and State, and conse quently to the ruin of the Country. The fol lowing extracts frounthe pamphlet refer to -Lord GREY'S attack on the Clergy of the Diocese of Durham, in consequence of- their Requisition to the Archdeacon, and Address to His ,Dlajesty, occasioned by the Requisition to the High'She 'riff, and Address supported by his Lordship, in which the Clergy of the County were -impro iperty included as part of the subscribers You are, first, pleased to make some allu -tiotts`to the Requisition,- on which our Meeting was called. These • Reverend Gentlemen think it necessary to publish a disclaimer, in or tier to rescue the Body of the Clergy from the disgrace of calturring in the sentiments of the ]ate County Meeting at Durham.'- My Lord, when you next do us the honour Of quoting our words, permit me to beg that you will quote them folly and'fairiya The disgrace fforn which we were anxious to rescue the body of the Clergy was, that of concurring 'in a measure which we conceived to •be contrav to the. sentiments they entertained? We did not charge disgrace, gene rally, on those who concurred in your Address. They whose sentiments it really expressed,•may have been not disgraced by concurring in it.— But, surely, your Lordship, who so Ibudly des niands plain and open dealing frOm us, will not deny that the Clergy would have been disgraced. if they had sate down in timid silence, under the stigma a being formally • made-parties to a - measure, in which they not only did not concur,l but which was, in their opinion, most unreason-J able and mischievous in itself. - " It seems, however, that ' instead of flying - into holes and corners, and secret conclaves, we ought to meet those from whom we differ, face to face.' I will not insult your - Lordship, by sup purpose, than to catch the momentary plaudits of your audience: I only admire tine perfect gravity. with which you make it, and talk of free discus sion at Durham County Meetings, as if your were really in earnest. And yet, my Lord, well as you act the part, it is one which by no means be comes you. This petty artifice of daring an ad versary to combat, where you know he cannot meet you on equal terms, ought to be reserved for those whose 'ambition can look no higher, than to a successful display on the hustings. You, wy Lord, were formed by nature, and by disci pline, for far better things. " Froni censuring the acquisition, you pro ceed to ou.• Address itself,—' this most contemp tible and abusive Address, and as foolish as it-is inalent,'—one, in short, for which you deem it necessary to testify the sincerity of your contempt ' by railing at it -and at its authors, during the larger half of a very long Speech delivered in a different County, and before persons who, if it fie indeed contemptible, could feel no further in terest abort it, than as it had too evidently dis terbed the serenity of your Lordship's temper.— These persons wish to imply that the Meeting at Durham. assumed the right •of-speaking for others; it assumed no such right; a Meeting can express the opinion of none' but. those - who attend it.' -Pardon me, my Lord, if I here avow an opinion more favou ra bl e t o th e r i g ht s o f a regular ' County Meeting, like that-of Durham, than seems ta be in the contemplation 'of your Lordship. I venture to think, that if the High Sheriff calls a Meeting of the Nobility, ; Gentry, - Clergy, and - Freeholders; to take into consideration any par ticular question,-thOse who attend at his sum 'mons, have a right to send forth the result of their deliberations as the judgment of the ' Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freehaiders,ron such ques tion. Had - your Meeting at Durham tonfined it self to the one subject announced in the Requi sitioncaedin the Notice by which it was called, namely, tie measures pursued for the Degrada tion of the Queen, neither the Clergy, nor any -other class of Freeholders, would have had a right to complain of being included in the general de scription of the Meeting. They might, if they had thought fit,-separately express their dissent from the decision ; but they could not justly say, that they had been improperly named as part of the body. which had concurred in-it. Your Lord ship,wfll perceive, therefore, that you are mis taken in supposing that we make the complaint which you attribute . to us. " No! my Lord, the only complaint we made was of a very different kind ; we complained that a Meeting called for a specific purpose, and competent therefore to pronounce with tine autho rity of all who were called '(whether they at tended or not), on what related to that purpose:, had exceeded its due and prescribed limits ; had assumed the right of answering for the opinions of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Free holders of this County, on very grave matters in no way included in the proper, business of the day. On these extrinsic subjects, my Lord, the persons colleCted in tine Court at Durham were Pot a County Meeting; they .y(ere no more than so many individuals with no other rights, powers, or authority, than any other set of individuals as sembled, or not assembled, at any other time, or place. Our Clergy . Meeting, on the .3d inst. had as good a right, that is no right at all, as you and your friends od\the 13th ult. to answer to our common Sovereign for the opinions of the rest of the County on matters which they were never in vited to consider. " But your Lordship says, They complain that matters had been, introduced not relevant to the subject of the Meeting ; but why not rele vant ? Was the Meeting to be confined to the fact of the Queen's treatment, and we not to be allowed to chew that the general discontent had been greatly aggravated by the proceedings on the Bill against her Majesty the Queen ? Will they deny the truth of this ? We complain that the country suffers a great and ruinous depression in all the branches of its industry, both agricultural and commercial. Will they deny the fact ?" &c. &c. It is really no pleasing object to see a great and powerful mind thus floundering in a vain attempt to rescue itself with credit from an error into which it had too hastily plunged. My Lord, you cannot get out of it. Fret your noble nature as you please, weave all your web of so phistry if you will, still the awkward blunder stares you in the ; face. You had no right,. and now you have been reminded of you knoW - , that you had no right, to mix other high matters with the question about the Queen. The only manly course was openly to admit the fault, not vainly to endeavour to brow-beat those who charered you with it. You have, by implication, ad mitted it : for you have cautiously abstained from mixing up in your subsequent Address at Mor peth, (which is the very echo of a part of your Address at Durham,) any topic, but that which was previously announced in your Requisition.— We are vain enough to think, my Lord, that it was the Clergy of this County who taught you that lesson of forbearance." , After pointing out some of the particulars so irrelevantly introduced into the Durham County Address, Mr. PIIILLPOTTS says :-- " You are next pleased to represent us as 4 at tributing all the existing discontent to the licen tiousness of the press'—a mis-statement, difficult to be accounted for on any supposition, which I could willingly admit. I say this, my Lord, be cause I should be, sorry to believe, that your Lordship had. intentionally misrepresented our language, in order to give increased effect to your bold insinuation, that we are C advocates for encroachments on the liberties of our Coun try.' , "My Lord, we have said no more against the licentiousness of the Press, than Mr. Brougham and others of your Lordship's political friends have often said, and unhappily have often proved in their.place in Parliament. Instead of attri buting all to the licentiousness of the Press, we expressly attributed much to the rashness of headstrong declaimers, heedless or ignorant of the tendency of their own folly.'—much to 4 the apathy of wiser and better men,'-- - smuch to '.every evil principle' which can shoot forth in rank luxuriance under the general supineness of 1, • +I, • .1, 4 -, short,in tri e —'l&lt tlYtisti4 7 ..ss ot!' ress w a:ody one (a most powerful and most appalling one, indeed, but still only one) of several causes to which we ascribed what we see as plainly, and perhaps deplore as sincerely as your Lordship does, a too prevailing' spirit of discontent,—we might add, an impatience Of all lawful control, a thirst for untried,- undefined, and undefinable change. " But while some unknown cause has thus blinded your Lordship to what we do say, some other cause-, equally unknoWn, has made you surpris ingly quick-sighted in discerning what we do not say. Our Address is charged with being the worst of the worst description of Addresses,—a condemnation which, coming from your Lordship, might have - been borne by us with silent equani mity, had it not been accompanied with this al ledged reason,—because it contains most unjust and unfounded charges . against the people, and upon - those charges advocates and invites further invasions on the rights and liberties of the peo Pie' " May I entreat your Lordship to produce the passages, on vliich you found these assertions.— Is it the following ? ' Widely as the contagious frenzy has spread, we cannot doubt the soundness of the main body of this great nation.'- Who, my Lord, in your Lordship's contemplation, are the people ? Not, it seems, ' the main body of the nation,'— but some portions of it, those particular portions which the Durham Clergy have made the subject of their' accusation,--in other' words, evil-minded ,men who revile and misrepresent all the measures of Government, and thoSe who are seduced by them to cast off their allegiance,'— the deluders and the deluded,---the vain dissemi nators of mischievous fooleries at public meet ings, and those, whom such weak sophistry can mislead,—the teachers and the disciples in the' schools of blasphemy and sedition,—the abettors and the accomplices in secret corispiraCies and open rebellion,—the CarliJes and Woolers,. the Thistlewoods and Brandreths,—these are ' the' people,' these are they of ,whom your Lordship proclaims yourself the indignant advocate, these are they' from whose injured innocence you ' re pel the calumnies of us Addressers against your Countrymen." Theelearned writer then most ably exposes the shallow reasoning of Earl GREY, as to, the ex pression in the Clergy Address, that " we have seen with feelings which we forbear to express, 'men of exalted rank, and of distinguished talents, fostering anil stimulating the discontents of the multitude," &c. We regret that our limits will not admit of our quoting in detail that part of the letter which contrasts his Lordship's conduct in the House of Peers, with his speech at Durham. In the for mer place his Lordship " guarded his vote in her Majesty's favour with such qualifications, such express and tacit admissions, as effectually to ex clude him from the number of those who could be supposed to assert her innocence." At Dur ham, his Lordship condescended to gratify the worst passions of the populace, by insinuating that " the majority- of the Peers were actuated by the most unworthy prejudices or 'Sordid. i•dte rests." After commenting on his Lordship's declara. ,tion, that he Would not accept office, without being enabled to effect a complete 'change in the present system of government, the Reverend Au thor thus concludes : " But I must return to what your Lordship further says respecting the Durham Clergy. Having exhausted the copious stores of your own eloquence in railing at us, you have recours'e to a quarter which, indeed, indeed, my Lord, ought not to have been approached for any such pUrpose. Your Lordship, I well know, is in the habit or reading your Bible for better purposes than to enable you to point a sarcasm, or to raise the shouts of a mob. And even, were it not so, there is something in your high faculties, which ought to disdain the occupation of furnishing fresh matter of apology for a future Hone. And yet it is in a speech of your Lordship's, that we read the following words,—‘ When those gentlemen assemble in their secret conclave, it is evident, to use the words of the Psalmist, that their com muning is not for peace," but they imagine deceit ful words against those who are quiet in the land.' —(Applause.) "My Lord, our communing is for peace. We ,are as sincere in thinking the public peace of the land, the private peace of our hearths and homes, the peace of innumerable souls, endangered by the wild spirit of anarchy and impiety, which is now raging around us—ive are as sincere in thinking that that spirit is encouraged (unin tendingly I doubt not) by the speeches of your Lordship and of some of your friends—as you and they can be in dealing forth your abuse on Mi nistars or venting • your patriotic indignation against 4 7Loyal Addressers.' We think that peace cannot be restored, or maintained unless the lovers of peace are alive to the dang ers, and zealous in the cause of th e i r country—o f its an cient institutions, its ancient principles, its mo rality, and its religion. This, my Lord, is our fixed and rooted sentiment ; and while the character of the times continues unhappily what it is, we shall not scruple to raise our warning voice, if others will not do it, and to expose the enemies of peace, even though your Lordship should be found in the number. " But we are not the only persons whom the words of the Psalmist are brought to describe— We imagine deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.', Quiet in the land. Why your Lordship and your friends are now the prime agitators in these northern parts. Be the spirit of modern Whiggism what it may,—a spi rit of health, or one of a very different descrip tion,—be its intents 'wicked" or charitable if it is hi any degree an honest. spirit it will at least not ask us to call it a quiet one. A llEw?lation must have already begun, and have begun in the understanding and reason of Englishmen, before we can bring ourselves to acknowledge the peaceful politics of Mr. Lambton, or the dove like demeanour of Earl Grey. "My Lord, I will detain you no longer. Let me only add, that the very peculiar tone of your Lordship's conduct and language on this occasion uaIGUIL. 41114 G 1 it, or not. To be supposed incapable of contend ing with your elognenct, is a reproach which we could easily have borue; but; to be branded with the imputation of slander, falsehood, calumny, and malice, affected higher interests than we were at liberty, even if we had been inclined, to ne glect. We have brought these rude invectives upon us, by honestly avowing our sentiments on the great public question, whether Government, or -the enemies of GovernMent, be more justly chargeable with the unhappy disorders of the tames. What is there unbecoming in our making this avowal ? 44 That we have nothing to do with any pOliti , cal events or opinion 3, your Lordship will be too prudent to affirm. You well know, that the Laws and Constitution of En - gland not only recognize, but by special and positive enactment bestow on the Clergy, as such, a share in the highest civil privileges of their fellow-subjects. You are too conversant in the theory of liberal sentiments not to acknowledge that the posiession of privileges carries withit a corresponding duty ; and that no duty Can be,more - imperative on every mem ber of a free state, than to declare his sentiments firmly and openly, whenever tho public interest appears to him to demand it. Thus far lam sure we shall agree. We shall alsoagree, in admitting on both sides that the station, or profession of particular individuals, may'impose peculiar re atrictions, or demand especial observances, in the exercise of their civil rights :—that a Clergyman, for instance, when advocating his opinions, is bound by the sacredness of his function,—and a Peer by the dignity of his order,—to more than common regard (I will not say for truth, or jus tice, but) for those decencies, and courtesies, which neither of them ran abandon with impunity. Which of us has, on ihe present occasion, most faithfully observed these restrictions, is a question on which we should not agree ; I wili not there fore attempt to examine it. But, for myself, 1 fearlessly throw this, and every other part of my case, on the candour and impartial judgment of my countrymen: at their hands, 1 know I shall receive an honest verdict, I hope also, a good de liverance." Antiquarian researches are now pursued with great diligence throughout France ; and much benefit to History and-the Arts is predicted from this new activity. The Academy of Inscriptions is overwhelmed with memoirs ; and gold medals are presented by the Minister of .the interior to the writers of those which are deemed most valu able. Great encouragement is also given to the study of the Greek language, which, during the revolutionary era, had fallen almost entirely into disuse. The Colleges are now filled with pro fessors of the highest abilities. The 85th regiment, which was destined to Malta, has been counter-ordered, and the 18th regiment, Colonel GRAVES, has been ordered to embark at Cork for that destination. The 10th regiment, whi . ch is to be relieved and re turn to England, has been abroad upwards of twenty years. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. liov:§E or' "comitO.llll.

Paris Papers up to the Bth instant, inclusive, have arrived. A new ordinance relating to the interior Po: ice of the Royal Palaces is in con- teuarlation, and 'one of the arrangements, it is said, has been determined on. Two Adjutants, with a party of watchmen, have been appointed, and apartments; are fitting tip for their reception on the Place du Carrousel. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied again on the 7th in re ceiving the Reports of the Committee of Yeti tions. In reporting on the Petition of M.

Sicilian Majesty is a party. The Duke de Gallo was to leave Laybach on the 28th tilt. for Naples to communicate to the Parliament the decision of the King and: the Allied Sovereigns, The Austrian Army is concentrating its forces in the Po; but there will be no hostile movement unless the answer of the Neapolitan Parliament to the ziltimatunt, of which the Duke de Gallo is the bearer, is unsatisfactory. In that case the army will receive immediate orders. to cross the Po, and their head quarters will be transferred from TreViso:toßologna. •A convention for the -pas sage of the Austrian troops through the Roman States has been concluded with Hi; HoLtNrss. The Austrian Cabinet has just ordered - the 'ormation" of another Army of Reserve in Carin- iia and Styria.; and all soldiers on fiirlougl! have received orders to join their respeciive re giments, with the utmost dispatch. It iR added, that in case the Austrian Forces should march against Naples, his Sicilian Majesty will quit Laybacli for Vienna, and reside in that capital until order shall be re-established' in his Status. Bank Stock at Vienna has fallen to 529 5 and the scrips of Mr. Rothschild's loan to 1091. • The last intelligence from Naples states, that the kingdom is prepared for war', which is con sidered as inevitable.

Stock There seems now to ire littkdOuht as towhat are the intentions of the Allied Powers, or wha t will be the• probable issue of the approaching hostilities between Austria and the Revolutionists of Naples.' The intelligence from the Continent which reached town yesterday 'announces, that a part of the Austrian Army, consisting of 60,000 men, broke froM.its , quarters on the right bank of the Po, on the 29th ult. and were on the march• to Naples. There was a report i❑ the City this mor►►ing, that accounts had arriVed announcing the actual commencement of hostili - ties.. This re port depressed the funds for short time, but they soon reeniered as no authentic confirMation had been received. That the nemberS of C., Holy Alliance have deeply considered the step which they are taking cannot be doubted, bt t the issue is not in their hands ; and, powerftilas they are, they, should consider also the. effect which that step• may prod►rce within their own dominions, otherwise they may raise a storm which they may find more difficultY in allaying : than in subduing the political Reformers acid uii= litary Revolutionists of Naples. • Advices were on Saturday received from Italy, stating the important fact that the main division of the Austrian army, consisting of 60,000 mer, broke up from its quarters on the right;bank of the Po, on the 29th ult. with orders to march on Naples. The manifesto issued on the occasion is said Ao announce That the invasion is .made, not l)y Austria as a separate. Power, but as a mem ber, and in the nathe, of the Holy Alliance. On that basis all intention is disclaimed of entering Naples with the view of 'territorial -aggrandize . . _ ment, but solely for the purpose of dictatiug su, iz a form of Constitution to the Neapolitans as mv.y be consistent with the safety of their neighbours. An ontline of the form of Government meant to be imposed , as the ultimatum of the Anita Powers, has been dispached to Naples, for tl e;"" consideration of Parliament, who will be allowed a very short period, some letters say only two days, to deliberate on the proposition. Meantime the Austrian army will advance to Rote; to receive the answer of the Neapolitan Parliament.
