THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FE.OII THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, Jane 12, 18'22. • [THE Tunc , •:.] The presentation of Petitions last night in the house of Commons against the remaining, or - what may perhaps be more properly called the I new salt-duty, led to the discuss ion of the tax generally. There were some opinions that were novel in themselves ; others that were rendered striking by the quarters from whence they sprang. One Hon. Member professed boldly, and in gallant defiance of vulgar prejudices, that he would vote for the total repeal of the salt-duty, if it were proposed by Ministers ; and that he would vote against it, if proposed by an oppo nent of Ministers. This is good logic : Right is right, if it comes from the men in power ; but right is wrong, when recommended by those out of power ; and, by the same rule, wrong is right, if those who are under authority so say. These are the dialectics, however, of which the nation complains, and which, it is asserted, have brought it into its present state. Anciently, Parliaments used to con trol Ministers. Here it is averred that Par liament should follow Ministers, and adapt its convictions to their prescriptions; at least there is one member who avows his determination to do so.—Mr. Wodehouse considered the pre sent as a new tax, and expressed a very just opinion that this is no time for the imposition of new taxes. had Hon. entlemen maintained this same doctrine when three millions of new taxes were imposed since the war—when ten thousand men were added to the army—when all the Windsor extravagances passed the House —an establishment for the good old unconscious •' King—an establishment for his Queen —ten thousand a year to the Duke of York for merely visiting his afflicted Father ;—had Hon. Gentle men, we say, held those same opinions some five or six years ago, when the above cruel iniquities were sanctioned,—had they held them from choice, instead of necessity, the situation of the country would not have been such as it, is. It is only through " wilful waste that we are now suffering woful want." " Wilful waste," says the sensible proverb," brings woful want." [NEW TIMES.I We have again the painful task of calling at tention to the sufferings of the Irish Poor. Their situation becomes more and more afflicting ; and Lothitrg but the most general and earnest efforts cf beneficence can he of any avail in affording even such temporary relief as may in 'some mea sure alleviate the dreadful misery which now op presses so large a portion of the population. The accounts in the Newspapers continue to be of the same character as those we have already pre- sented, with only this unfortunate difference, that all the circumstances which before excited compassion appear now in a yet more lamentable shape ; and in addition we learn that the fever has broken out in several places, and that this disease threatens to sweep away those who have resisted the enfeebling influence of want. In order that these representations may not be supposed to be exaggerated, we think it pro per to mention, that the statements of the public prints are fully substantiated by the reports received by the Committee at the City ..of London Tavern. Among the letters read yes terday, we understand there was one from a Re - verend Prelate, who is most active in the work of charity, to a friend, iu which his Grace uses the following expressions :—" The smallest sum or aid is of use in these times of sad and frightful visitation. Notwithstanding all that is doing, I fear \ many thoUsands must perish from actual _hugger. I set out to-morrow, please God, to vi sit the most distressed parts of the county of Mayo. lam frightened at the appalling scenes and sickness ; but I will live with the famishing and diseased during the summer, and I trust that the Lord in his mercy will put a period to this bitter visitation." • {MORNING CHRONICLE." We received the Paris Papers of Sunday laA night by express. They contain extracts from the ..41gemeine Zeitung, a paper, of which the intelligence from the East has generally been good,_ affording particulars of the naval victory gained by the Greeks, which seems to be now placed beyond doubt. They contain also the me lancholy details of Turkish atrocities, for many of which we are afraid England must be held responsible. Ten thousand women and children were, it is said, lately sold as slaves at 10 and 15 iiiaitres a head'. What a howl would have been set upif as many hundred negroes had been disposed of in the same manner.—God forbid that we should think lightly of the traffic in slaves whether black or white ; but we cannot cer tainly think, because nature has been lavish - to one race in the endowments both of body and mind, while to the other, she has denied both beauty and genius, 'that, therefore, the former may be wronged, and the latter may not. The English Government is now upholding the system which produces the white slave trade in the East, and • affecting great indignation that it should be carried on by other Powers in the West.—lt would seem that the insurrection in the North of Spain is.nearly put down; -and the French Ultra Pars, hold a much less confident language. We leaink - from them,- that the. refugees in France, wko'have refused an amnesty, are waiting for a faVOurable opportunity to re-enter, Spain. And yet the Cordon Sanitaire has not in view the en couragement of revolt 1 . • [MORNING HERALD.] . The intelligence in, Sunday's Paris Papers from the north of Europe is pacific, but still in decisive. The Ultra journals represent the state of Spain as desperate—the King refusing to return to Madkid, the Constitutionalists gaining advantages over the 'Royalist insurgents—btit the latter still numerous, and rallying after their defeat, either within the Spanish territ or y , or fro.m France, within whose frontier they take refuge:. 'The " liberal " papers, on the other hand,' idescyibo - the . fact Thus as .wholly, or almost FOR TilE SUN. wholly, extinguished—after, however, " some shedding of Spanish blood ;" and their account deserves a preference, because it is confirmed, in substance, by the proceedings in the Cortes. There has been as yet no business of a public nature in the Chamber of Deputies. Saturday's Sitting was devoted solely to the election of offi cers. M. Itavez is again nominated by the King to the Presidency. We understand that there were a great many Watch and Clock Makers in the Gallery of the House of Commons last night, anxious to witness the sort of reception their Petition would ex perience. It gives us much pleasure to perceive that this body of British manufacturers is aroused. We wish that the example were followed by all other manufacturers ; and hope that Mr. Wal- lace's 13111 will be visited in the same way as Mr. Scarlett's, .namely, that it will be over whelmed with Petitions. We recommend a General Meeting of the Booksellers of the Metropolis,, to take into consideration the very serious eVils which are likely to re sult from . Mr. Wallace's Warehousing Were the manufacturers of this Bill aware of the effect whichit would produce on the exportation of British manufactures, we think they would not have attempted such an ill-judged measure. — (Mid) [BRITISH PRESS.] Mr. Western last night, in the House of Commons, in pursuance of 'notice which he had given some time back, brought forward his motion for a Committee to inquire into the effects of the Act of the 59th George 111. cap. 49 (Mr. I*l's Bill for regulating the return to cash payments), on the agriculture, manufac tures; and commerce ,of the United Kingdom, and the general condition of the different classes of society therein. The drift of this motion must be a . .resumption of the paper system, no doubt to a limited extent and under certain modifications. -: . Unfriendly to the paper sys tem, we necessarily approved Mr. Peel's Bill. The good which it has attempted to achieve has been purchased by great sacrifices, and the question is now, whether in this state of , things the 'object is to be abandoned,. and all these sacrifices are to be thrown away. Under these circumstances, perseverance in the present .system appears to be the. safest. and manliest course.. The country may ex.oaini with Macbeth, hut in a better cause---- Stept in so far, that should I wade no More, • . Returning were as. tedious as go o'er:" Mr. Huskisson, speaking of course the sentiments . of the - Government, was not satisfied with.tnerely giving the motion a simple negative, but, with a view to restore permanent tranquillity to the public mind on this delicate - question, proposed 'that . - the. House should adopt the Resolution of 1696, namely, " That this house will not alter the standard of gold, or silver either in fineness, Weight, or denomination."—Lord - A. Hamilton spoke in favour of the original motion ; and as. several Members seemed desirous to deliver their opinions, it was finally deemed expedient to ad journ-the debate to this day. • [MORNING POST.] I In the House of Commons last. night,. Mr. Western brought forward his motion on the sub ject of the' Currency, and in the sPeech with which he introduced it he ascribed the present distress complained of in the Agricultural Dis tricts to the Bill of 1819, which has brought us 'back to the resumption of cash payments. When that Measure was brought forward, we were the first to warn the public of the consequences of rashly adopting it. We foresaw all the misery which has since been felt, and wished the period for return ing to cash paymentsdeferred. But why did not Mr. Western, who now to feelingly talks of the happy days when :we had - bank notes and no gold,—why did not he, as it: shOuld seem the country had prospered (which •we all along as serted), under that systeth—the system of Mr. Pittwhy, we say, did not Mr. Western tell us then of the" real wealth" whichthe country had ac- • cumulated ? Whydid he not at that period celebrate the blessings of the 'Rank Restriction Act, as he does now when . .they are tasted no more ? We were hostile to• Mr. Peel's Bill, but it does not follow that we should now desire its repeal.— The country - ,bas,': we hope and believe, nearly paid the' price of that important measure, and we should' be sorry to seelt abandoned (like the new Post-office plan) . for the little that remains to be paid. Then we would have had the country petition against the Bill ; now we would have them bear the evils consequent upon it with for titude; and however tremendous the sufferings of which it may • .be parent, let it never be for gotten that Mr. Western and•• the party with whom he uniformly acts,. lent the chief hand to inflict them. It was a favourite object of the Opposition for many years ; the measure was in cessantly called for by them ;. and those who now seek the repeal of the Act of 1819 were the very men through whose instigation and inces sant outcry it was brought forward, and whose decided support mainly contributed to its being' passed intaa . law. Mr. Western was answered by Mr. lluskisson, who moved an amendment. Lord Archibald ilamilton spoke in favour pf Mr. Western's motion : after which, owing to the lateness of the hour, there was a general call for adjournment •and the further consideration of the subject was in consequence adjourned to thiS day.. IrpL'OF 1.11 - .-\RIC,-QtirßN OF SCHTS.--This relic, bequeathed by Cardinal YORK to Sir JOHN C. 111 prisLEY,and now in his possession,has elicited a long description from one of the foremost of the German literati. A. plate has been engraved from it. • CORONER'S - INQUEST.-SurcinE:-Last night an Inquisition was held before the Coroner for Westminster on the body of Mr. Joseph Ashall, aged 60 years, who resided in Wells-street, Jer myn-street, at the Three Crowns Tavern, where he put a period to his existence on. Monday night by hanging himself in his bed-room. His son, to whom his property goes, gave evidence of hit mind being recently much disordered---Verdict, LETTER XII. Mn. Enrron,—ln my Eleventh Letter, I gave a few short extracts from the Fourth Lateran Council, and from the Councils of Constance and Bazil ; as also from a Letter, or Rescript, of Pope Clement XI. and from a Decretal of Pope Gre- gory IX. Agreeably to what I then mentioned, I shall now shew how the Romish Priests are bound, by their oath of fidelity to the Sovereign Pontiff, to " adhere implicitly to the Decrees and Canons of the Church assembled in General Council, as Rules of Faith ;,' and to inculcate the observance of them on their flocks : " The Holy Apostolical Romish Church I acknowledge to be the mother and mistress of all Churches ; and to the Roman Pontiff; successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Vicar of Jesus Christ, I promise and swear true obedience. All doctrines delivered, defined, and declared by the Sacred Canons and General Councils, and especially by the most holy Council of Trent, I receive and profess ; and whatever is con trary thereto, and all heresiei condemned, rejected, and ana thematized by the Church, I equally comdemn, reject, and anathematize. This true Catholic Faith, out of which there is no Salvation, which at present I freely profess, and sincerely hold, I do promise, vow, and swear, that I will constantly re tain and conserve to my last breath ; and as far as I am able., I will be careful that it is held by, taught , and preached to, my parishioners, or those the care of whom shall belong to me in my function." • And every Romish Bishop, who had of course taken the Priest's oath, must also take the fol lowing : " I, N. N., Bishop elect of the See of N., do swear, that from this time henceforth, I will be faithful and obedient to the blessed apostle Peter, to the holy Church of Rome, and to our Lord the Pope,and his Successors, canonically appointed. I will, to my utmost, defend, increase, and advance the rights; honours, privileges, and authority of the holy Roman Church, of our Lord the Pope, and his Successors aforesaid. I will not join in any consultation, act, or treaty, in which any thing shall be plotted to the injury of the rights, honour, state, and power of our Lord the Pope, or of the said Church : and if I know of any such thing to -be treated of, or intended, by any person whatsoever, as far as I am able, I will prevent the same ; and, as soon as possible, will give information thereof to our said Lord, or to some other person, by whose means it may come to his knowledge. lAI keep with all my might the rules of the holy Fathers, the Apostolic Decrees, Ordinances,Disposals, Reservations, Provisions, and Mandates, and cause them to be observed by by others. Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said Lord the Pope, and his Successors aforesaid, I will, to the utmost of my power, persecute and destroy." Now, Mr. Editor, I- ask, and let those answer that have any knowledge of Popery,—in the event of Mr.. O'Connell's happy project for do mestic nomination being carried into effect, which is likely to be most binding upon the consciences of their " Eminences," (three of the present Hierarchy are said to be Cardinals) " Graces," and " Lordships"—the oath I have here given, binding them " to the utmost to defend, increase, and advance.the.rights, honours, privileges, and authority of the Holy Roman Church, of the Pope, and his successors," and " to give informa tion, as soon as possible, to the Pope, of any Con stitution, Act, or Treaty,- in which any thing may be plotted to the injury of the .rights, honour, state, and power of the Pope, or of the Church;" or Mr. O'Connell's 'proposed oath—" That if any Pope, Prince, Prelate, Potentate, or any other person. .whatsoever,. shall write to him" (a Ro mish Bishop)," or directly or indirectly com municate with him,- in political topics," (for in stance, on the speediest and most effectual means of re-establishing Mother Church in -her former pomp and power) " he will, with all conve nient speed, transmit, under his hand, to Go vernment, a true copy of so much of every such Bull,.Rescript, &c.-Scc.. as ,may Telate to po litiCal affairs,.in any wise, directly or indirectly ?" If,indeed, any man can for a moment entertain the -- eirimerical idea that, in. such a case, the for mer would be paramount to the latter, let him remember that Robert De Winchelsey, Arch bishop of Canterbury, told Edward I, in the year 1296, " 4 that the Clergy owed obedience to two Sovereigns, their - spiritual and temporal; but that their duty obliged them to a much : stricter -at tachment to . the former than to the latter." And, lest he should be told that this doctrine has be come obsolete, let him also remember that Doctor Troy, Titular Archbishop of Dublin, in his Pas toral Letter, published in 1793, has declared, " That the . Ecclesiastical jurisdiction and autho " rity assumed by the Kings of England was in " its origin, and still continues to be, a profane " usurpation upon the inherent spiritual- and ec " clejastical primacy, not only of power and " rank, but of real jurisdiction and authqrity of " the . Pope or Bishop of Rome, derived, to him " by Divine right, as successor of St.. Peter, " Prince of the Apostles in that See." From this, there can be little doubt to whom Doctor Troy considers the first degree of allegeance due : yet; he was one of those that presented a dutlful address to his Majesty in August 1821 ; and, in signing it, his name occupied the second place. The Sovereign Pontiff seemed fully sensible of the force of that Proverb of Solomon :—" Train up a child in the way he should go ; and When he is old he will not depart from it."- Accord ingly, he appointed that the following oath should be taken by youths, upon their admission into a school or seminary - erected in Scotland by permission of the Queen of Scots, to educate them for the Priesthood, after the troubles in Flanders obliged the English fugitives to leave Doway, where they had established a school for that purpose,' by the advice of Win. Allin, a Jesuit : ' "I, A. B. do acknowledge the Ecclesiastical and Political power of his Holiness and the Mother Church of Rome, as the chief Head and Matron of all pretended Churches throughout the whole earth ; and that my zeal shall be for St. Peter and his Successors, as the founder of the true and ancient Catholic Faith, against all heretical Kings, Princes, States, or Powers repugnant unto the same. And although I. A. B. may pretend. (in case of persecution or otherwise) to be heretically,disposed, yet in soul and conscience I shall help, aid, and succour the Mother Church of Rome, as the true, ancient and Apostolical Church. I, A. 8., further do declare, not to act or contrive any matter or thing prejudicial unto her or her sacred orders, doctrines, tenets, or commands, without the leave of her Supreme Power, or its authority under her appointed, to be appointed; and when being so permitted, then to act or further her interest more than my own earthly gain or pleasure, as she and her head, his Holiness and his Successors, have or ought to have the Supremacy over all Kings, Princes, Estates, or Powers whatsoever, either to de prive them of their Crowns, Sceptres, Powers, Privileges, Realms, Countries, or Governments, or to set up others in lieu thereof, they dissenting from the Mother Church and her commands." .• I cannot take upon me to say whether this oath or a similar one is taken by the students ad mitted into the Royal Roman Catholic College at Maynooth ; but, in the memorable year 1798, , many of them acted upon the principles it incul cates ; for between thirty and forty joined the 1 ranks of Rebellion, and fought against their benificent SOvereign at Kilcock and other places ; , some of whom fell in. battle, and. the rest fled frpm justice. After the suppression of the Rebel lion, sixteen other students were expelled for having taken part in it. At this momentous crisis, when there appears a strange apathy in some Protestants, as to the existence of our present establishments in Church and State, while others are using every means for their subversion that ingenuity can devise, even calling in to their aid misrepresentation and exaggeration,—it may not be amiss to submit to the consideration of some of your readers a brief statement of the sufferings of the Protestants of Ireland, in the years 1688 and 1689, when Popery was in the plenitude of power ; and I shall devote the remainder of this letter to that subject. On his arrival in Ireland, after his abdication of the Throne in England, James declared that " he had made it his chief concern to satisfy the minds of his Protestant subjects, that the defence of their religion, privileges, and properties, was equally his care with the recovery of his rights." We shall now see how he fulfilled his promise. His first act was to remove the Duke of Or mand from the Government, and to appoint, as his successor, Richard Talbot, afterwards created Earl of Tyrconnel, a furious bigot, and a fit instrument of arbitrary power. He imme diately disbanded the Protestant militia, raise by his predecessor, and armed at their own ex pence ; and they were even required to surren der their arms, with which they complied. In their place he embodied a Popish militia, officered by Papists. . 4 C Hiving thus secured a military force, to overawe and intimidate, Tyrconnel proceeded in his great design of establishing the Popish reli gion on the ruins of the Protestant. Porter, the Protestant Chancellor, was displaced, to make room for Sir N. Fitten, a bigotted Papist, who had been convicted of forgery, and publicly dis graced. The benches in the other Courts Were tilled by Papists, with the exception of three, who, it may be fair to infer, resembled some of the liberal-minded, time-serving, nominal Pro testants of the present day : the corporate bodies were bullied into a surrender of their charters; and the Corporations were filled by Papists the members of the Privy Council were exclu, sively Papists :" the Prote;tant Provost and Fel lows of the University of the Holy and Undi vided Trinity, founded by Queen Elizabeth, were turned out, to make room for Friars and Jesuits ; and their plate and other property seized : Popish - Sheriffs and Magistrates were appointed in all the Counties, who refused to administer justice to the Protestant inhabitants; and they likewise harrassed them with every species of tyranny : Popish Priests encouraged their-flocks not to pay tythes to the Protestant Clergy, of which they were at length entirely deprived, and the Priests became their successors ; the Churches were either destroyed or converted into Mass-houses; the Protestant Bishops were deprived of their Sees, and the revenues were - paid into the King's - Exchequer : under authority of a proclamation, Protestants were compelled to take in payment for their goods a coin made out of old pewter, brass, and broken pots, of the value of about fourpence the pound weight ; out of each pound weight of which, pieces were coined of the nominal value of five pounds of the currency of the realm* : recourse was also bad, to . the trick practised in the rebellion of 1641, and since acted upon in 1798 and 1503, of an affected dread' of a massacre on the part of the Protestants, merely as a pretext for disarming them, which was carried into effect, except in the North, where the Protestants refused to surrender their arms a word, the Protestants of every rank, from the highest to the lowest, were insulted and robbed with impunity by the Rapparees ;' and at length they were forbidden, on pain of death, to meet in any number exceeding five." See Letters by a Protestant of. Ireland, published by C. Chapple, Pall-mall„ London. Although I may recur to the last cited author, I "shall here give an order, issued by Colonel Lutterel, Governor of Dublin, taken from the Appendix to Archbishop King's " State of the Protestants of Ireland :" " Whereas -several disaffected persons of the Protestant religion are of late come to this city of Dublin, and some of them armed with swords, pistols, and other weapons, contrary to his Ma jesty's express commands, by his Royal Procla mation, bearing date the 20th day of Ju1y,1689.- 1, These are therefore to will and require all men whatsoever of the Protestant religion now residing or being within the said city of Dublin, or within the Liberties of St. Sepulcher Donor, or Thomas Court, who are not housekeepers, or have not followed some lawful vocation therein these three months past, to depart within twenty four hours after the publication hereof, out of the said city and liberties, and repair to thetr respective habitations, or usual places of abode in the country, upon pain of death, or imprison ment, and to be further proceeded against as contemners of his Majesty's Royal commands, and as persons designing the disturbance of the public peace.-2, And likewise, that all Pro testants within the said city and liberties, not being of his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council, nor in his army, or actual service, shall within the time aforesaid deliver up all their arms, both offensive and defensive, and all their ammunition, into his Majesty's stores in the said city, upon pain of death."-3, " And that no Protestant whatsoever do presume, at his peril, to walk or go in the streets, from ten o'clock at night till five o'clock in the morning, nor at any time when there is any alarm. In which case, all such persons are required, for their safety, and for the security of the public, to keep within doors till such an alarm is over." —4, "And lastly, for the prevention of riots and unlawful assemblies, these are therefore to will and require all the said Protestants, that no greater number of them than Five shall meet and converse at any time, either in any house within * Even Tyrconnel's wife and daughters joined in plunder ing Protestants, by intimidating shop-keepers of that persua sion into a surrender of their valuable wares, in exchange for this base Coin, for which they could not get a morsel of bread for their half-starved families : for, though Protestants were compelled to receive this coin frOm Roman Catholics, in pay ment of debts, or for goods, yet Etatian Catholics would not take it from them. • the said city or liberties, over and above the fa' mily of the house, or in the streets and fields, in or about the same, or elsewhere : Hereby decla ring, That all persons who shall offend agains t any clause in this present order, shall suffer death , or such other punishment as a court-martial shalt think fit." I shall in my next shew how James's Popish Parliament acted. Cork, 29th May, 1822. SIDNEY. . . . ;li ERRATA—In Bth Letter, Louis for Lucius.—Philip IV• fog Philip H.
