7~ t ~ i ~' i 'I I IIE LONDON JOURNALS. ~,. ~~ TATRAifTS FROM TIM DAILY MORNING PAPERS, August 10, -1822. [Ntw:.-rxmEs.] This day.hisMi..rEsTY will embark at Green wich; to peoceeti on his voyage to Scotland; where he is meagerly expected by a loyal and affectionate people. As. the : tide will serve in the early pare of the day, it is expected that his Majesty will be on-hoard the Royal Yacht before ten o'clock. The Lord - Mayor and the Companies of the City of London will attend - the Royal progress down the -River in their State Barges - ; and there ; Is scarcely . a boat or wherry-which is not engaged to convey parties of Gentlemen and Ladies to witness the embarkation, or join in the procession. If the :weather, as it promises, should be Propi tious,. this will be one of the most pleasing spectacles ever witnessed on the River Thames. The tthigoificent . architectureof Greenwich Hos pital--the old Pensioners clad. in their best - uniforms, and marked with the scars of Many a glorinus fight—the crowds of spectators on , the banks—the gay flotilla • on the bosom of the River, crowded with beauty and loyalty— the music, and the shouts, and the general anima. , Lion of the scene, will altogether form one .of those pictures which must afford delight'to 'any philanthropic mind, bnt must be peculiarly grati fying to hint who is the great object of, general interest,-onr beloved and. patriotic Sovereign. The reception that his Majesty has to s expect in his ancient and . loval kingdom of. Scotland will, we are.sure, repay him .wellior the inconvenience and fatigue of his voynge. We same time ago took occasion to express what we knew to be a very general ',feeling of anxiety in, all parts of Scotland, lest, ill health or other, unavoidable causes shoul4 prevent the King from visiting that part of the-empire. In proportion to sack anxiety whilst the event was uncertain, are the exultation and joy 'now that the uncertainty ! is_ removed. In Scotland, as in all parts'of the empire, there are Party divisions; but these, we doubt not, Will vanish before the:presence of the Prince who unites every thing that is amiable with every thing that is dignified. We have noticed one or two articles in one or two ill-disposed prints,. which have faintly endeavoured to cast a' damp on the gene . - ral . loyalty, or to turn it into ridicule ; but these efforts are too contemptible, and too much out of keeping with the general harmony and good huniour, to produce any effect.. Kanydifference should be ,observable between the conduct. of Whigiand Tori e s they are culled) 'in 'Scot..: lend, : we are persuaded the' former will lie the more forward . to. 'testify the warmth' of their loyalty; and to shew 'that their difference from their neighbours on subordinate points' of con stirntionat piney rather tends to strengthen than to impair their - attachment to a Conoitu tional King. [II9R NG! POST.] _ _ . The. piracies in the neighbour hood of the West Indies and South America have again been brought before - the- public by some-late- accounts from thoie- parts, and the factious press has once more.rung its :ichanges in praisw of the United States' Navy, and very patriotically, 'of course, abuse of onr: own. Upon the suhject of those piracies,generally; or upon' the. propq means for guttin .a stop to them, we do not intend' to enter atp-resent. ' -Our opinion has already been given or both . ; and we ztre certain the nature. 'of the gale- is such. as, combined with the of is Majesty's- Ministers over the interests of the `country, will speedily bring the whole question to a; satisfactory. issue. A few obser vations, however; on collateral points seem ne-H cessary; *in order to let the public fairly see bow matters- .now stand. -1.11 the first -place, our readers will recollectihat it was only at the very clOse of the:SeSsion, the end of July, that any part-ot the great mercantile body of the country, so innth 'interested in the subject, had it sub mitted. to Parliament. . - w6 therefore think. -it reasonable -to suppose- that they wPre not, sufferers before- this period, or their corn plaints would'have been heard: Put what was the' conducrof , Government in the meanwhile ? So. early as March last, it had received ad vices of some depredations having- be-en committed on our shippin'g; and, accordingly, as far - back as five Months ago immediate measures were taken' by , Ministers-to put down 'the- nuisance: It is true, indeed' that in doing so they went through the fOims which justice, as well AS courtesy, tO other independent pOwers demanded—justice and cour tesy, which we mistake the essential characteristics of our countrymen If they will not second- us with saying, the very Weakness of those Powers the more imperatively called for, at -our hands. 'Jail:those piracies been f suffered to go on-with. out-' any steps being- taken to - quash( them, no doubt some '-shew' of blame would attach to Mi nisters;- but as the case 'actually • stand's, they have attended to - our interests with' alacrity,- that although no rude or rash course: has been. pursued, they are, at-the very first moment that our merchant 3 have sought redress, fully pre-- pared to grant, or- rather are granting it in the most summary way. Verily, :if -it is on grounds of.this sort that Faction purposes to calumniate Government during the usual jubilee of cowardly detraction, the -recess, 'we incline- ta think its occupation's gone. . [MORNING HERALD.] Thearrivals from the Continent, yesterday and th day - before, are not of much interest. The Tiaris Papers contain einly. reports of proceedings in the . Deputies, of little concern- to 'English readers; inethe tiresome details of the trial of Berton- and his accomplices at Colmar. The ac counts frora'Spain 'are 'of some iMportance but scanty, and of extremely' dnubtful credit. It is Very difficult to . lortu any thing like a just • ide,a dithe state of that kingdOtn----:-which certainly, at this moment;,,:ertii*,broirglit to Crisis. The Ministiy liistilYintomplete.` Three only of the new nominees haveaCteptea office-=and one of the - se; . ! . .ijoPez 'Banos, 'had not yet reached, Madrid. It `appears, however, that a -Arise c6lour is given to the reluctance ‘vhich some Spaniards have shown to accept Ministerial office. It is ascribed to their despair of ruling a popula tion so inflamed, districted, and revolutionary, as the Spanish. But the true cause seems 'to be, that the King of Spain has still near his person advisers, who are . hostile to the Constitutional order. The great struggle at present seems to be, whether these secret and irresponsible advisers shall be .emoved from the Palace. The King of Spain manifests an inauspicious unwillingness to separate himself from these men ; and if he persist in retaining them about him in opposition to the petitions from several classes of Spaniards—to the desire of his Ministers, and, what is still more important, of the permanent Deputation of the Cortes, : he can hardly avoid a conflict more vio lent and more decisive than any that has hitherto taken.place. King Ferdinand is now reduced to such a situation that he has only the choice of giving himself up frankly into the ban& of the Cortes, and of a Ministry having the confidence of that body, or else of the desperate, and, as we think, hopeless experiment of a counter-revo lution. [THE TIMES.] Ourriaders - will see by ourteport of the pro ceedings at Durham,--(See . THE SUN of yester day)-7that Mr. Williams, of the Durham Chro ' nicle, has been - (atter the Jury had retired for several hours) found 'guilty, of ‘C a libel upon the C 4 Clergy residing in and near the city of Durham " and 'the suburbs thereof."—The English law of libel stands alone amongst the institutions, of a free-and enlightened community—we mean the law of criminal prosecution for libel on public bodies-and on politiCal characters. Individuals in private life stand on far different ground: 'They require to beprotected against private malice, more especially when they-appeal by civil action to ale judgment of their fellow-citizens, and 'put at issue.tlie truth of the charge which they com plain of. We see no satisfactory reason for re fusing...them such a test - of their innocence and integrity, or such a safeguard to their doiriestic ,tranquillity and enjoyments. Even in the case of private' men,, an indictment for libel ought, to be looked npon with extreme jealousy, as . yielding by its result no test of principle,nor vin diFation of character : but with haw much more serious suspicion ought we to consider the eagerness ora public functionary ora public body to crush all animadversions upon their acts, by the overwhelm ing weight of a criminal prosecution. The gist of the libel with which Mr. Williams stood charged op , this "occasion, ,against the clergy of Durham,. was that it had a tendency “,to bring the Church into conteMpt"—an effect which could be• Produced no otherwise than by persuad-! ing the country that .the Church was really con temptible. TO rebut such an accusation, the clergy' neither attempt to set aside the facts. stated by the newspaper, nor do they prove him guilty of a falsehood in having asserted the last sad mark of .respect and. sympathy towards the broken-heartiid Queen of a -peoplers affec tions was omitted, or prohibited, by those who had command over the Cathedral Church of Durham. They go 'to work- with an instrument, not of .elucidation, but of vengeance. But is this a becoming ground for the Church of England to rest upon ? If the clergy are still unapprised of so plain a truth, it is time they should be taught that no slanders can disgrace—that no prosecu tion of puniShment or , lander can redeem them, — that if they take opinion, not blind power for their support, they must stand, or fall by their own acts, and not,by the'dictates of Judges to Jurymen. [MORNING CIMONI.CLE.] WTe refer our : readers to a Report in anotOr 011111111 containing the .Conclusion of the trial in the case the King v. Williams, for an alleged libel on the. Established 'Church, and on .the Clergy of the Cathedral Church of-. Durham.— •(See TILE SUN of yesterday,)—Te verdict will; we dare say, rather surprise many of our, readers. Aware, as we are, of the facility with which con victions in political cases can at all times be pro.; cured in the country, especially when the instru ment is a Special. Jury of 'Squires—and aware, as .we are also, Of the influence which a body possessing so .much of the property of Durham must have in that county, we 'confess We still imagined that a respect for public feeling and public opinion would have some influence on the Jurors on this occasion, With the full know- . ledge: of the' spirit displayed by, the Clergy of Durham, at the. period of the Queen's death (we wish we could say this was an insulated . case) — with the knowledge of the open manner in which 'the upper Clergy ,every where embark in politi cal intriguing—of their subserviency to the Mi nistry for the time being; to the Freat detriment of the' Establishment, and the increase of the. numbers: f:DisSenters of every description., we are astonished that any Jury should pronounce .an article in a Journal, in which nothing ,more than this was stated, nothing More . than what was as notorious as the sun at noon day," to be a libel. We hope and Irust•there will be sufficient .spirit in the country to take up the case of. this Journalist, in whose condemnation the right, of discassion .has been- so vitally. - att4ked. Mr. Baron Wood, indeed, told the Jury, that " this was a libel, and a• gross libel." But the Learned Ittdge hiniself pronounced at the same time a much more..severe libel .on both Church and State. " if a man (he said) was 'at liberty to 'write- and print whatever he pleased against the -Church and State, this Government, could not 'last."—The Learned 'Judge must either think the Constitution of this country in Church and State so 'very bad that 'it will not :bear td be brought into discussion, or, allowing him to think the, beSt of all poSsible Constitutions, he must also think that ungrounded abuse, . notorious falsehood, present such irresistible charms to the generality of mankind, that truth and reason have not the smallest chance in competition with them. The Learned‘Judge pronounces, therefore, either a libel on the Constitutions of the Country, or a - libel on human nature. • HIG-HWAY OB)3ElZY.—Thursday night,. about nine o7clocit i . as, Mr. Richards, of Parsons Green, was.on his return hOnie from town, be was hustled near the dead wall at Kensington, by two felloirs, who robbed frith of his-watch, , iiith a gold chain, and three chased seals; the villains' then escaped across Sloane-square. FOR THE SUN. . LETTER XIX. MR. EDITOR—In your Paper or the 22d of November, 1821, you concluded some remarks you then made upon the first of the present series of Letters, published on that day, by 'saying— " We confess, for our own part, that assertions have been so often and so confidently repeated as to the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Irish Romanists over the Irish Protestants, that, (uncontradicted as they have been, either by temporal or spiritual authority), we are far from being surprised that they should have ob tained general credence in this country ;—we are far from being surprised that many persons, who would otherwise have been decidedly ad verse to the Catholic Claims, have been induced to lend a favourable ear to demands which they have been led to believe are the demands of near ly a whole people ! We are far from 'peing sur prised that some of those .who would have re coiled from a proposition to entrust Papists with authority over a population essentially Protest ant, have been induced to admit the justice and propriety of permitting Romanists to exercise povfer over a population which they have been falsely assured is essentially Popish !" I have been led to make these reflections by two circumstances that have recently occurred : the first, a letter, in the form of a pamphlet *, addressed by . a Right Hon. Member of the House of Commons to his Excellency Marquis Wellesley; in which the author states the Roman Catholic population of Ireland to be to the Protestant as twelve to one : the second, a speech, mentioned by the Editors of Newspapers, to have been de livered by a Noble Marquis, in the House` of Lords, on the 14th of ,Tune; in which his Lord ship said—" in 1695, the population of Ireland was one mallow,' seven hundred and forty thousand—in 1821, it was six millions, eight hundred and forty-six tbousandone fourteenth of that population only were Protestants—ano ther fourteenth were Dissenters—the remainder were Roman Catholics." Such.altegations, coming from Members of the Legislature, must, if not contradicted, have con siderable influence upon the Minds of the Pro 4 testants of Great Britain ; and may " induce many persons, who would otherwise have been decidedly adverse to. Catholic Claims, to lend a. favourable ear to demands which they have been led to - believe are the deMands of nearly a whole people,"--the rather, as the Author of the letter is an Irish, Gentleman of family, and the Noble Marquis has extensive estates in Ireland ; from which it might be supposed that they had gen_ well-informed upon this subject., It shall, there fore, be the object of the present Letter, to ex pose the fallacy of their allegations ; and let your Readers judge between them and me : but, as few of them may have your Papers to refer to, it will be necessary, in the present inquiry, to bring:again to their observation some of the authorities I have already cited, and some of the argutrients I have already advanced ; though I shall addace -Others. I beg leave, however, to premise that, having already so fully stated' the grounds of my dissent from the re turn lately made of the population of Ire land, I shall not now Say any thing further upon thaLsubject; but, in the . present discussion, take., the numhersyas stated by' 'the Marquis, at six inillioniy..eighthundred and forty...six thousand. The author of the letter out-herods Herod ; for Mr: O'Connell himself, with all hiS modesty, in his"speech in the Metropolitan Chapel, on the 13th of February, claimed ONLY six out of the seven. millions . of inhabitants,' he alleged Ire land to contain, leaving one million to Protestants and Dissenters ; but the Right Honourable Gen tlemanallows to both (in caloilating,the popula tion, Protestants.and Protestant Dissenters.have always been taken together) five _hundred 'and seventy-five thousand, 'or. one-twelfth: Ilis.LOrd ship, •indeed, in giving' one-fourteenth to Pro teStantsyand a second fourteenth to Dissenters, agrees With:the ingenuous - Barrister, .who had left one-seventh 'for both united ; that is,. out of the numbers. mentioned in the. House of Lords, nine hundred and seventy-eight thousand. Sir Willianr'Petty, who, for aught I know, might have been the, ancestor of the Nobles Mar quis, surveyed Ireland. shortly before , the -Re storation of Charles IL; 'and the map he.then drew may be .se.en in the Surveyor-General's Office, in the: 'City .of Dublin. lle,afterwards published a 'Work, entitled " Political Ana tomy," ib which he states the whole population of Ireland to amount, in the year 16,72, to one million, one hundred thousand; and that the Protestants and Ronan Catholics were in the proportion of tht:ee to eight, so that at that period the Protestants were more than one-third of the inhabitants Of the country, that is, 300,000+, and the Ronm,Catholics 800,000. In the year 1732; an accurate enumeration was made, by order of the Government, of all the families in Ireland, distinguiShing the Pro testant families from the Romish in each pro vince, and : 6 calculation Was made 'from thence . of the numbers of the Protestant and Romish in habitants of Ireland : it was printed in Dublin in the year 1736, and •reprinted in 1788. It ap pears; from that calculation, that in the year 1732 the number of Protestant inhabitants was to that of the Romish in,the proportion of 1 t 0.2-1. Dr. Burke,. ,Romish titular Bishop of Ossory," wrote a.book in Latin, which he entitled " 11 i bernica Dominieana •;" it was printed 'at Brussels in. the year 1762: and he particularly slates, that an actual enumeration. was-made•of the numbers of PrOtestants and Romanists in Ireland in the year 1731, and that there were found to be then in the kingdom 700,453 Protestants, and 1,309,76,8 ApmaniSts : so that the proportion of Romanists and :Protestants was not, in the year 1731, quite - two to one,,aCcOrding to Dr. Burke. It is very likely that this Romish Bishop had very accurate information of the relative num- . . ; , • .:I think , it necessary to mention, that I have not seen this Pamphlet, only ,an extract from it, published in the Southern Reporter. ~ , . I + in my. Ninth Letter; I ) . lll;Eshe'd - in your Paper of 2utli of Nay, .I showed from Sir John Temple's History, that Upwards of 390,000 Protwants had been murdered, or otherwise d.estroy ed, in less than two years, during the Rebellion which broke out in 1641. bers, perhaps bettei thane that whiCh could be deduced from the documents stated in the pam phlet, containing the calculation'tnade in 1732. Dr. Burke also states, that the proportion bad much increased on the Protestant side, be tween the year 1731, and the year 1762, when he wrote, by the operation of the Popery Code, and the Protestant Charter-schools, and makes grievous complaints of the increase of He retics, as he styles Protestants. The Popery Code continued in full vigour to the year 1776, and its operation, together with the Charter schools, must have increased the proportion on the Protestant side. There is a modern docu ment which' must have great weight in this ques tion, taken from the numbers of beggars admit ted into the House of Industry in Dublin, for a course of six years, beginning with the year 1784, and ending with the year 1789; and their respec tive religious persuasions. This House ofindustry is a general receptacle for all beggars which flock into Dublin from all parts of Ireland, for there are no poor rates in Ireland. Divine ser vice is performed separately in this 'receptacle for persons of the two persuasions, and Chaplains are retained for each by the Corporaticin.. • w Numbers admitted. Protestants. Romanists. In 1784 . - 696 " - 1870 In 1785 - 768 - 2435 - In 1786 , - 1794 - 2912 In 1787 - - 1493 - 3341 In 1788 - - 854 - 3643 In 1789 - 798 - 3615 6,403 17,816 " The Romish beggars admitted during a course of six years did not exceed the Protestant beg gars in the proportion of three to one. The House of Industry is filled with the lowest class; and as the property in the hands of Irish Pro 7 ,testants is to that in the hands of Irish Romanists as thirty-nine to one, the proportion of beggars on the side of Irish Romanists to those in the Proteetant side must vastly exceed the propor tion of Romanists and Protestants in the nation at large. Besides, although wandering beggars flock to Dublin from all parts of the kingdom, the fewest certainly come from the northern Counties, which abound most with Protestants forthaving a flourishing manufacture, these Coun ties send forth the fewest beggars. From all these documents it may be fairly concluded, that Irish Romanists exceed Irish Protestants in num ber throughout the whole kingdom in no greater proportion than that of two to one s perhaps in much less." Those who were acquainted with the late Right Hon. R. Duiginan, from whose " Far Represen tation of the Political State of Ireland," I have taken the foregoing, require no proof of his inflexible integrity, his strong mind, and his sound judgment.' For the information, how ever, of those who were strangers to him, and to shew the justness of his reasoning, I shall add, that, in commenting upon a Pamphlet then re cently published, which stated the inhabitants of . the City of Dublin to amount to four hundkett thousand, he said, " I never before heardthem computed at a greater number than one hundred. and fifty thousand, and they are certainly under tivp hundred thousand." Twenty-one years after' he published This valuable work, that is in 1821, the population amounted only to 186,276, as appears by the late return to Par liament. Through the kindness of an intelligent person, connected with the Institution, I have procured a Return of the Paupers and Beggars admitted into the house of Industry, in this city, in'a course of three years, from the Ist day of June 1819, to the Ist day of June 1822. Nutnbers of Protestant Paupers and Beggars admitted from. June Isl 9 to June 1822... - - 634 Nu j rnbers of Roulish Paupers and Beggars admitted • &Out June 1819 to .tune 1822 - - - - 2543 1 rom which it appears that the Protestant Paupers and Beggars are to the Romish as one o four., When we consider, that this House of Industry is.a general teceptaCle, not only for the Paupers and Beggars of this - city, 'but also of the county of Cork, by much the most extensive county in Ireland, the Magistrates of which have the power of sending froth their 'respective districts poor Persons for' admission ; when we consider that Cork is one of those Counties in which Romanists, partiCularly of the lower class, very considerably preponderate; I repeat, when we consider these circumstances, I think this document alone.would., proVe the futility of the assertions of the Author of the Letter, and those of the Noble Marquis.: but, combined with the return from the House of Industry in the City of Dublin, and the sound argurnentatiye • reasoning of the late Doctor. Duiginan thereon, it cannot fail to convince every ingenuous mind that the Romish population of Ireland has been most grossly exaggerated. And n6w, Mr. Editor, 1 unhesitatingly and fearlessly challenge the Right Hon. Author, and the Noble Marquis, to prove their allegations. If they have been misled by the artifices of those that have an object in deceiving the GOvernMent, the Legislature', and. tlie country, itis a duty they owe to that country, as well as to their.own characters, to rectify the error into which they have been drawn 'through evilzdesign ; and it is a duty that, -as men of unquestionable honour, they will perform : if it has been a part of that system, so long practised by those that advocate the -cause of what is called." Chtholic Emancipa'. tion," I am ,not vain ,enough to suppose that any arguments I can adduce will have the effect of turning them from their purpose; but 1 hope at least to be able to guard some of your Readers against such exaggerations. In the latter case, in the technical language of the Law, I call, first, Upon the Author of the Letter, " to slew cause" why the Protestant population of Ireland should have decreased from 700, 453, in 1731, ac cording to the statement of a man avowedly, hostile to the Protestant interest ; to '575,000, in 1821 ; the one-twelfth of the 6,846,000,which he so liberally allows to Protestants ; and why the Romish population should have ad vanced from 1,309,768, to 6,271,000, being eleven-twelfths. Secondly, I call upon_ the Noble Marquis " to chew cause" why the Pro testant population, in ninety years, should only have risen from the numbers allowed to them by the Romish Bishop of Ossory, as already stated, to 978,000 ; and why the s Romrsh popillatl ° l should, in the same space of, ti me , have , increase" ( from 1,309,768, to 5,868,000. -Will they sall the Protestants, that " the fire has consumed their young men, and that their maid e ns were ne , ' given to marriage ?" Or how will they accou eL —the one fore the great decrease, the other for the trifling increase—on the Protestant side; while the Roman Catholics have, even accord" to the Noble Marquis's statement, considerab l y more than quadrupled their numbers?
