"111,1 THE LONDON ,JOURNALS. EXTRAt 4 TS 'FROM THE DULY 'MORNING PAPERS, July 3, 1822. [MORNING IFER %T.D.] The balance in favour of the country appears to be widely at variance with the prospect which has been held out to the count; y ever since Mr. Vansittart presented his Budget for the past year. At that time the Right lion. Gentleman said, that there would be on the sth January, 1822, a surplus of Revenue beyond Expenditure, to the amount of five millions. This is by no means the fact. The actual surplus of Revenue beyond' Expenditure is only 1,674,330 1 . The difference between what Mr. Vansittart promised, and what he has accomplished, arises from his not having, the last time he produced his Budget, brought into his account a sum due to the East India Company,another charge for Greenwich hos pital, and a third item, which he calls a deficiency. These sums, amounting to 2,400,4501. ought to have been brought into the last year's account, but were most unaccountably omitted. They materially affect the appearance of the thing al together, and being taken into account, prove the last year's statement to be comparatively a delusive one. A sum of five millions, available as a Sinking Fund, for the year 1823, was promised ; but. the actual amount does not exceed much more than a million and a half. And if the thing -were thoroughly investigated, and every account of last year paid, we should not be at all sur prised If even the surplus of 1,674,330/. should vanish ; and that for the year 1821, the Revenue merely met the Expenditure, and that, in fact, there was no Sinking Fund at all. So far, we think, we have proved, that the expectations for the year 1821 have by no means been realized. - [BRITISH PRESS] A discussion took place last night in the House of Commons on a Bill hastily passed in last month, which palpably augments th duties raised on maltsters, by charging the licence on each se parate malting house," which was not so before." This is unsavoury to the country gentlemen, just at the moment that Ministers had made them a boon, as it was termed, of the annual malt duty, and parts of the salt and leather taxes. A Bill is to be brought in -by Mr. E. Wodehouse, the object of which is to repeal the new provisions. The hopes of success cannot be very sanguine, since Mr. Lushington told the complainants that they would do better to content them- 1 selves with the Bill of last mouth, or else their constituents would be in danger of harass ing proceedings in the Court of Exchequer, under the 24th George 111., which limits the virtue of license& to the places occupied by the holders. This piss_ of frightening people into love with au Act of Parliament, by holding the Exchequer in terrorein over them, is new ; but it is worthy of being kept in remembrance by any. of the Members who intend to bring the inquisitorial tortures of the Exchequer process before Parlia ment. As to, repeals of taxation, the Country Gentlemen should take more pains in the opera tion. They can feel for the increase of the_ maltster's licences, but they took no sufficient trouble about the repeal of the salt duties, which will now deScend upon the fisheries in an amount beyond what they can bear, as the trade without this tax requires bounties to keep -it alive. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The majority against Mr. Hobhonse's motion (146 to 59) affords another proof that nothing effective in the way of a repeal taxes is to be expected from the Honourable House. The Country Gentlemen, however much they may grumble at Public Meetings at the weight of taxation, are always ready to vote against any proposition to lighten the burden.—Mr. Hob house sheaved, that even taking the improvement of the currency at the lowest rate at which it had ever been calculated, that improvement was pro ductive of an addition to the taxes to a giea.ter amount than the Repeal of 2,500,000/. which he proposed. He very properly ridiculed the expen sive juggle of a Sinking Fund, which Ministers are always bringing forward, while their conduct is continually giving the lie to their professions.= The effect of their Sinking Fund, in so far as it is operative, is to retard the paying off the debt,and it ought to be generally known that it has, from first to last, added considerably to the amount of the debt. By universal confession the only real Sinking Fund is the surplus of revenue over ex penditure, and the simple and proper way of going to work would be to apply any surplus we might have from time to time in discharge of the debt. Mr. Hobhouse very appositely instanced America, which had paid off a considerable amount of debt by the mere appropriation of surplus revenue. [MORNING POST.] Mr. Hohhouse, last night, not of his own will, as he informed the House, but " by command of his Constituents, whom he was bound to obey," brought forwad his motion for a repeal of the House and Window Light Duties. The Hon. Gentlema❑ had of course no hope that such a proposition would be adopted at this particular time, and signified as much at the commence ment of his , speech. The subject of his mo tion he embodied in a set of Resolutions, the first of which, as the Chancellor of the Ex chequer observed, was one of those truisms which no person ever thought of disput ing, namely, that taxation should not exceed what the safety and well being of the State required. The second Resolution declared the Sinking Fund a delusion ; and the third went to abolish the Window Light and House Duties. Laying aside for a moment the subject matter of the two last, we cannot avoid condoling with the Hon. Member upon the success with which, on this occasion, he has finally settled down to that unenviable station in the Senate which fate had pre-ordained. I t will he little less than a miracle if he ever recovers, even in the estimation of his fondest admirers, the speech of last ❑ight. Any thing so , studiously dull, bombastic, and absurd, has seldom been inflicted on the House of Com- mons ; nor from the school-boy quotations with which it was garnished, together with the daub ing of stale imagery, would a stranger hesi tate to father it on some raw student at one of our -Universities. Not the least remark able feature in this exercise is the un handsome and grossly_ unjust application of a passage in Hume's character of Cromwell, to one of the ablest Ministers and most polished Noble men which England has ever had to bowit of.— We know there are strange means by which men may attract notice when they seek notoriety ; but we are sure Mr. Hobhouse has never hoped for popularity by snapping at the heels of great men, in order that they may turn round and cuff him. The Honourable Gentleman could not harbour such an idea, and we must therefore intreat, that in future evil-disposed persons may not imagine they see any reason to draw the inference. The two distinguished characters who have been alluded to in the lapse of this and last Session, cannot be seduced from that course of propriety which they uniformly pursue, by unworthy and ambiguous language, and this alone ought to restrain the use of it. The queer notions on public affairs which Mr. llobhouse broached last night, show that he has no spare genius to waste on matters of less importance.— Ills speech, in short, was a mere hash of all the fragments of opinions which the Opposition have been using during the Session on the subject of distress and taxation. [THE TIMES.] When Ministers, as a boon to the commerce of our merchants with South America, proposed to open the ports of the United Kingdom to the vessels of the liberated colonies of Spain, we questioned, in plain terms, the efficacy of such an offer, on the ground that Mr. Zea's note re quired a recognition of the independent sove reignty of these states, as a sine qua non of that commercial intercourse, the enjoyment of which the Ministers of Great Britain ap peared to think it their own privilege to grant or to withhold at pleasure. But the case was exposed to difficulty from a third party, which has since come forward, and of which the British Government manifestly never thought.— If the trade were to carried on with indepen dent States, the recognition was a necessary act on our part, to render the traffic legal ; for if we decline to acknowledge the South American Republics, we must embrace the other alter native, and, when pushed upon the subject, admit them to be still so many Spanish colonies, and subject to Spanish laws. The trade, there fore, to which the Ministry made us welcome, had not only this absurdity attached to it, viz. that the permission of the South Americans with whom it was carried on had not been pre viously obtained, - but the further ridicule that the old Spaniards, under their well-known pro hibitory system of colonial law, might, if the trade should be vouchsafed to us by the republics, capture every British merchantman engar;ed in it, without so much as incurring any reasonable im putation of unlawfulness or national injustice. This has now been proved. A case has occurred of a British ship, the Lord Collingwood, bound from Buenos Ayres to Havannah, with a cargo consisting of hides, being captured by the Spanish privateer La Panchuta, taken into Porto Rico, and there, on the MI of last December, con demned as lawful prize. [NEW TIMES.] The Morning Chronicle very modestly sup poses, that if we had seen the pamphlet " on the Consumption of Public Wealth by the Clergy," we should not have called the proposed plan of the author " Church robbery." Now we happen to have the pamphlet lying open before us; and though we are willing enough to suppose that the author did not think he was proposing a rob bery, we really do not know what else his proposal ought to be called. All that is pro posed is merely to appoint certain Commis sioners " to sell all Church property, both tithes and estates "—to pay off with the proceeds a portion of the National Debt—to allow pen sions to about one-sixth of the Clergy—and to turn the rest of that body adrift—that's all ! Now, let us suppose the nation to go so far, which it can only do (be it observed) on the prin ciple that the nation wants the property of the Church, and therefore takes it:—why should not the nation go a step further, on the same just and conscientious grounds, and say to the present, or any future Duke of Bedford," Now, Sir, we come to you—we have seized certain lands given by Henry the Eighth for the support of the Church and the maintenance of certain Religious Esta blishments, and we have now to inquire whether the same Monarch did not bestow certain other estates upon your Grace, which will be. equally useful to the State, and which it is equally in our power to confiscate. As the holders in the present instance, performed certain duties for, the revenues which they held, we have assigned them fixed allowances, that those duties may still be performed. But as your Grace is not, as far as, we are aware, in the habit of making any return of duty or service for the possessions with which you have been endowed, there is not of course any occasion for compen sation on our parts." Would the Morning Chro nicle call this plunder? I f so, perhaps it will point out the distinction between the two cases. It is said, France and Spain have confiscated the re venues of their Church Establishments, and why should not we ? They have so. But what have they gained by it ? The possessions of the French Church in former times are stated by this writer at 7,400,0001. per annum. These have been seized, and by them have hundreds of the butchers of the French Revolution been enriched. But what has the Nation gained ? She has gained an annual charge of upwards of a Million Sterling, to be paid in the shape of stipends out of the taxes. That is her profit by this confisca tion. At her Midsummer Rent Day, Mrs. BROCK.. MAN, of Beachborough, returned 10 per Cent. to her tenants at Staple. A steam vessel, formed entirely of iron, which is to carry six guns, is building near Southampton. From the LONDON GAZETTE of July 2.

Mr. Alderman Thompson attended, and gave bond to take upon him the office of Sheriff on Michaelmas Day next. The Committee appointed to consider the com plaint of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Smithfield against the shutting up of the Gates of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, delivered into the Court a Report, recommending that Gates be erected upon a design as proposed by the said Hospital, and that .they be left open for the con venience of the public during the day, from six o'clock in the morning in the summer, and seven o'clock in the morning in the winter, until five o'clock in the evening, during the months of Oc tober, November, and February, until four o'clock in the evening during the months of De cember and January, until six o'clock in the evening during the month of March, and until eight o'clock in the evening during the remaining months of the year ; which Report was agreed to, and ordered. A Special Court of Aldermen will meet to-morrow, in relation to the Bill pending in Parlimpent relative to the Orphans' Fund. LYNN ELECTION—SECOND DAY. --During Thursday night, or rather early the next morn ing, the Huntingdon Gazette says, the Poll booth was re-erected, and at the appointed hour the polling recommenced ; but it was not permitted long to continue. The mob refused to permit the election, and proceeded to the same acts of violence and fury that characterized the pro ceedings of the day before. Again Colonel WALPOLE'S party was driven from the hustings, which were, as previously, demolished and burnt. The polling did not continue above an hour.— When the report came away, a regiment of ca valry were in sight of the town ; a troop of yeo manry were also proceeding thither. " How the affair will end," says the reporter, 4c I cannot pretend to divine—there are many already much hurt, and one youth, I hear, is killed." BAr.r.oos.—On Thursday last at 3 o'clock, Mr. LIVINGSTON ascended in his balloon, from Porto bello Barracks, Dublin, amidst a great multitude of spectators. The balloon was visible for nearly an hour after the ascent; at one period it disap peared behind a cloud, from which it emerged in about the space of five minutes. It appeared to to take a N.E. direction. Tickets of admission to the Barrack-yard, were sold at 3s. 4d. each, and the profits. of the day were announced to be appropriated to the fund raising for the dis tressed peasantry of the South and West of Ireland. Mr. Livingston descended about five o'clock, on the Strand between Baldoyle and Howth. He effected a landing with much difficulty, as he was for a considerable time immersed in the water. He proceeded to Howth, where be took some refreshment, and came from thence in a post-chaise to Dublin, bringing the balloon and car with him. T he car was much disfigured by sand and salt water. Mr. Livingston arrived in Dubiir about half-past eight o'clock.. FOR THE SUN. LETTER XV. MR. EDlTOR—Agreeably to the promise with which I concluded my Fourteenth Letter, I shall now lay before your Readers an extract from a letter (it may be Pastoral, or what you will), addressed, on the 6th of May, in the last year, by Doctor COPPINGER, titular Bishop of Cloyne and Ross, to his flock, and published in the Mercantile Chronicle, in this city, in the same month. " At this day the Irish Catholic Prelacy and Clergy are unanimously of opinion, that the " marriage of two Catholics, celebrated by a " Protestant Minister in a Protestant Church, is cc null and void, as are all marriages of Catholics " within the prohibited degrees of kindred, from " the first to the fourth inclusively, where a dis- " pensation has not been duly obtained. And it " is only as delegates of the Holy See, that " our Bishops can dispense in those degrees, " or any of them----in so much, that if, with " out the express authority of the Pope, Irish " Catholic Bishops should presume to admit "as valid, such marriages, whether celebrat " ed by Catholic Priests or Protestant Ministers, " his Holiness must, and most assuredly would, " declare them invalid. Neither to any indivi- " dual of his flock, who should refuse to sepa " rate from his or her yoke-fellow, in such case " could a Catholic Bishop or Priest conscien " tiously administer the last sacrament—though " his Majesty's Ecclesiastical Courts hold these " same marriages valid, and though the husband " has confessedly a legal right to the person of " his wife, as has the wife to the person of her " husband." Here is a jurisdiction, the most despotic, exer cised at this day over his Majesty's subjects, by a foreign, though au ecclesiastical, prince, de claring those marriages invalid which had been celebrated by a Protestant clergyman in a Pro testant Church, and according to the ritual of the religion established by law ; and boldly avowed in defiance of the laws of the laud, by a Romish Bishop, who holds out a menace of withholding the last sacrament from such mar ried persons as " refuse to separate from his or her yoke-fellow," at the command of the Pope, or the instruments of his power—" though his Majesty's ecclesiastical Courts hold these same marriages valid." This furnishes, or ought to furnish, matter of the most serious consideration to those Members of the Legislature who have been, and continue to be, so zealous in advocating the cause of Popery. Let them reflect, ere it be too late, that if, when the Roman Catholics of Ireland ap pear in the guise of humble petitioners, though I think they bear a nearer affinity to the sturdy beggar who addressed Gil Bias in all the tones of, misery, at the same time presenting a musket at him : let them, I repeat, reflect in time, that if, when Roman Catholics are, or affect to be, humble petitioners, the spiritual authority of the Roman Pontiff is thus openly and audaciously set above the laws of the land, what will certainly be the consequence, when Roman Catholics shall, by their admission into Parliament, have the power of abrogating those laws. For myself, I will say in the words of the late Earl of Clara, expressed in the Irish House of Lords, in 1793 " I do not know how this proceeding may strike " other men ; but the avowed existence of a fo " reign jurisdiction in the heart of this country, " governed by the laws of a foreign Prince, evi " dently framed for the subversion of all Protest " ant Stales, is to me a ground of most serious " alarm; and the wildness with which we are " now proceeding i❑ the modern philosophical " system of Catholic Emancipation has very " very much increased my apprehension of the " danger arising from it." So much were the Irish harrassed by this spi ritual tyranny, in the reign of Henry VIII., that in his 33d year the Irish Parliament passed an Act, entitled, " An Act for Marriage," still, I believe, unrepealed ; and which states, in the 'ollowin,g words, the consequences arising from ,his assumed authority of the See of Rome, ' Whereby not only much discord between law ' 61 married persons hath arisen, much de ' bate and suit at law, with wrongful vexation ' and great danger to the innocent parties, hath been ,procured, and many just marriages in doubt and danger of undoing, and also many times undone, and lawful heirs disinherited, and marriages have been brought to such an ' uncertainty thereby, that no marriage could be so sure knit and bounden, but it should be ' in either of the parties' power to defeat the ' same." There is a case in point mentioned by, the late Earl of Clare, in the debate that took place in the Irish House of Lords, on the Bill, in 1793, granting to Irish Roman Catholics the elective franchise, which, as Dr. Coppinger has publicly declared the supreme will of " his Holiness" upon this national and important subject, so justly re prehended by the Irish Parliament in the reign of Henry VIII. ; and at the same time the determi nation of the Romish Bishops and Priests to en force the same, may be worthy of the attention of the Legislature and of the wation at large, and which I am induced to bring forward at the pre sent time, as some Protestants are but too ready to forget past events, and the enemies to our Constitution in Church and State make it a point to keep from view every circumstance that can impede their wishes.—" It is perfectly well " known that we have a Popish Hierarchy in this " Country, claiming and exercising all Episcopal " functions, under the immediate authority of " the Court of Rome ; and it is the boast of the " Popish Bishops that Ireland is a singular ex " ception to the Catholic Church discipline of " every other country in Europe, in which their " religion is not connected with the State ;—that " im other Protestant States the heads of the " Popish Church have not any episcopal juris " diction, being without Sees, and denominated " from ancient Sees now a part of the Ottoman dg- minions ; but that from the days of a. Peter the " Popish hierarchy has been preserved in Ireland cc by a regular succession of prelates in the 4 c several Sees, where they have always acted as cc Ordinaries ; and accordingly there is in every " Diocess in Ireland a regular Itomish Consistorial " Court, acting under the authority of the Pope, " and entertaining causes of ecclesiastical cogni " zance, which are decided according to the laws CC of their forum, without regard in any sort to " the laws of this Country. If proof were " wanting upon this most serious subject, I have "it in my possession. A Popish Priest, h° " acts as judge in the Consistorial Court of Elphlo , " in the month of December, 1701, cited parties " who had lived together as man and wife, to aP; " pear in his Court, in a cause of nullity of 44 marriage. They had been married by a Priest, " and had cohabited ; however, the marriage " contract was pronounced null and void, and cc the woman was turned loose upon the w orld , " On her complaint to a neighbouring gentleman , " one of the representatives of the County, h' CG remonstrated against this proceeding—but 10 " vain : the Consistorial Judge persisted in en' " forcing his sentence ; and, in justification et; 44 himself, inclosed to this gentleman a decree ° " the Council of Trent, ' De Reformations M a ; 44 trinzonii,' under which he had proceeded, and 44 in the course of his correspondence o n this 44 subject, which is in my possession, lie veil : 44 gravely stated that an attack upon th e laws 0 ' " their Church would be an attack upon th e " whole body of Roman Catholics. That this " being a clear case, he had full and final juri s ' cc diction ; for that appeals were made to the " Court of Rome in causes of ecclesiastical cog' " nizance only in cases of difficulty, ve/proPtec dignitatem personarum, as in the case of 64 Henry VIII. and Queen Catherine." There are two circumstances deducible froe i t , the extracts I have given in this letter, which are worthy of notice : the first from the pastora l letter of Doctor Coppinger, which shews that he, could, in May 1821, in support of the spiritua l authority - of the Pope, and in defiance of t ll l Laws of the Land, call forth, or threaten to Cal,. forth, the severest anathema of the Romish Chart' —that of witholdinc , the last sacrament 1' 01 " a dying sinner, who had refused to violate 111. marriage vows ; yet he could afterwards let th at thunder slumber, when treason was stall" through the land, with all its concomitant horro r in its train ; which clearly proves how well he merited 44 the encomiums that flowed from t "; judicial Bench," or " the compliments from e li t ; of the first Law Officers of th e C rown :"- -- t"; second, that in December, 1791, the very 9 e . in_, in__ which the Universities of France and SPar e most jesuitically denied the doctrines of t ', l Romish Church, confirmed by General Counc il the Priest, acting as judge in the Consist° l 10 i$ H . Court of Elphin, referred to 44 the most 1 1 °'./ 0 Council of Trent," as Priests swear it to , 1 0 support of his decree of nullity of marriage ; fr ° which it is evident, had I adduced no ot her proof, that the Irish Romish Bishops and Pr leS 4 consider that Council, confirming all Or r°- Councils, to be in full force. If the Parliamentary advocates o f PoPe r l consider these circumstances unworthy of not e ic e ; in this enlightened age, I trust, at least, may have their due weight with the great 17, of Protestants ;—that is, with those that are Pro te so tants in principle. lam not vain enough to suPeo that any authorities I have cited, or any argUal e° oo I have advanced, can have any influence oP the the minds of men, who can graVely assert, i° r , e , face of Parliament, " that the prosperity of " o land had risen and increased with her Cath i °g o millic.is ; for they constituted, in fact an u , c , truth, the nation ;" or " that the Roman CaLag '; Tics were to the Protestants as twelve to one, or, has lately been asserted by a Right Hon.Aut, ll ,, p When I look into the history of certain fariliii t o l. I am not surprised at the zeal and advocaciej some persons : for, when their parents confer' ll o r to the established religion, not from convictio°o; the errors of Popery, but from worldly met ive to and still continued attached, though secret l 9 l l o their former faith,—it is natural to suppose , 10.. they would instil into the minds of their e t o f dren the tenets of the Romish Church, 011 0 0 which they doubtless conceived there Wa s ti cl) salvation.; and I could name the son of s e o f parents, who had always advocated the cau s e Popery, and who had retained in his faill" Romish Priest as a tutor to his childreli•oret could also mention an Irish Peer, now ne 11 ' who had imbibed the tenets of Popery fr° lll the mother, a furious bigot ; and who, prior T o p Union, always voted in the Irish House ef a ro in favour of Emancipation ; as he did afte r wp o r in the House of Commons, in the Imperia l liament : but for a few years before his & t " openly professed himself a Roman Cath °lic ih e The same might probably be said of some c t a be o present generation ; and it is most devoutli t I , to t wished that they would, like the Noble °lll o o ° luded to, throw off the mask ; as an open, 41 t bal ) enemy is less dangerous to the Constituti oll ho e a pretended friend. In the unhappy even t /00f ever, of the subversion of that Constitution,..taot, that are now generally regarded as Pro te ' will openly embrace Popery. Cork, June 12, 11322.
