A LETTER FROM THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BI SHOP OF CLOYNE 'AND ROSS, TO THE RIGH• HON. LORD REDI/ESDALE,LORD HIGH (3HAN CEL4OR OF IRELAND. MY Loan, Middle/or, 3can. 26, - TBO4. If the heavy weight of insinuation whereby I am aspersed in your Lordship's recent Correspondence with the Earl of FiNGAna, were not as unfounded in fat} as it is extreme in rigour, I should not feel warranted to expostulate in this manner with your Lordship upon the injustice you have done me. Of your great,povvee, my Lord,' of your pre-emir!en,t dignity, I am thoroughly sensible : these are the very circumstance s which in my mind aggravate the injury I complain ot ; and th ere fb re f ar f rom deter ring, they encourage 'me rather to present myself With confidence before you. To redress wrongs it the peculiar province of your Lordahip!s exalted station. We all know, my Lord, that if the Subjeil were ag-' grieved even by the KING, who can do no wrong,, your _Lordship is empowered. to cancel his Letters Patent, if founded upon untrue suggestions : I must then persuade myself, that being at least as mtlen clined as you are warranted to do' such a 6 of justice, you Will be equally ready to Caticel t your Own severe' sentence upon me, when your Lordship s h a ll h ave considered the extent of the injury, and shall have. deteaect the misinformation that gi,,nds it. In your letter' to the •Earl of Ft Notana, yOur Lordship wouid . convince that Roman Catholic Nobleman how little . faith is due lo Roman Catholics it, their praafessions of loyalty, by representing to hint that I, a Roman Catholic - Bishop, have been treating .with pointed distesped those of.my Clergy, who in the year 1798. had saved the lives of loyal men ; and in honouring As a martyr, with insult to the offended justice of the laws, a Priest supposed to be deeply implicated in rebellion, and permitted to return Worn transporta tion through the mere indulgence of Government. This sentence, my Lord, will, by easy implicatio n , be thought to insinuate, that beside being a trai terous, a perjured hypocrite, I am also an abettor of, murder—a sanguinary monster, under the sheep's - clothing of Episcoral Consecration, w,lta, while I preach the loyalty 1 have sworo, atn san • Ctioniog by my conduti the murder of loyal men ; and prnnot. ing, as far as in me iies, a rebellious spirit among my Clergy, by reserving my chief atteniions tor such of them as were said to be 'guilty of reba:iion. A dread- • ful insinuation intieed,deaiving multi ; tiad effeCt from your Lordship's charade!' and stati:oi ! It woul,l bear heavily upon , me, my-Lord, had it beet no more than; a sudden explosion bursting from an ordinary No4le_ man in the heat of altercation : hut how much snore oppiessiie,aa a aentimen ',commit ted to writing by the cool. tit - trollied, discriminating impartiality of a Lord High Chancellor, in at letter to a Roman Cat'iolic Peer ; for the obvious purpose of wounding the Ro. man Catholic Religion, through the agradatioo of a Roman Catholic Bishop ; and if Unteiuted by me, or rather if not explained by your Lordship as an un intentional mistatement, it must go down to posterity with irreparable injury to myself; and by associa tion, perhaps to-the community 1 belong to. It. becomes : therefore imperatiye upon me, my . Lord, to convince you, that you have most grievously mis represented me, through the unfounded auogesticata ef others . : •:rtf‘r :Ch l :3.nnot laa s Hoc act. „Lordship will tie fora and to acknowledge the error, and equally disposed to regret it. • I now beg leave, however humiliating theas,eve ration, to declare before that,awful Tkibunal'i where Y our Lordship, as we ll as I, shall one day he arraign. ed, that were it possible an Angel front Heaven could propose to me, not .the Mace of ,your Lord. ship, not the Sceptre of my Sovereign, hut the un controuled dominion of this Globe, as a reward for assenting to the murder of' tltemeanest wretch that ever moved upon it, I should consider myself bound to say to that Angel, with St. Paul, " Be thou ac cursed;" nor for so saying should I raise myself in my own estimation above the lowest line on the scale of negative merit. Neither do I claim a higher place' for declaring, as.. I nova do in the presence of God,' that being a liege subjed of His Majesty King . GEORGE the. Third, I hold mySelf bound by the die.' tates of my religion, iudependently of the oaths have taken,..to bear him true allegiance, and to in. culcate the same obligation upon all those who are subjed to my - jurisilidion. Nay i further, I declare. -myselfmore -firmly bound. to him by the (Iktares of my religion, than by every tie: being as little able in adversci-citcumstances 'to answer for my loyalty to the King,. without the aid of my religion, as to answer far my fidelity to God, without the aid of his Grace. Conf6rniablY to this impression, my Lord, I have en ,forced \ with particular energy the duty'of both in my public and private instruEtions, (Wring' . the troubles of 1798, striCilyenjoining my Clergy 'to: withhold the sacred rites from all persons implicated •in the treason' of that time, until the oath and the treason it cemented should have been first abjured. By which means, many hundreds, if not many thotia sands were detached from that treasonable compad, who to this very day might haaae adhered to it. In answer to the allegation of pointed disrespea to those Clergymeo who were represented to your Lordship as having saved the lives .of loyal menial can boldly assert in the face of this Diocese, that-rhe only Priest I knew of, as coming precisely within. that description, by having given a timely notice , to a Gentleman whose life was threatened, is. the very man I soon after seleeled for my Vicar General; and with him.at this day, in that confidential capacity, I continue on terms of sincere regard and afFedion. The other Clergymen distinguished for loyal 'exer tions at that trying period, will ackno'iledge, if Called upon, that instead of areirtingathep.,l,,a. sresped. ever, fully, I esteem them all and venerate them. every Priest of mine, how is perfectly satis l fi 'l ed at , is What I. ant not presuMptuous enough to affirm it seldom / falls to be the lot of any one in my place, I not a tnoc;ohnfiavde confidently s 4 individuals y, that displeased of edwith hi m ; b ut hai is knt, v I only one Cier. gyman in this entire Diocese, who considers hitnaelf aggrieved by my administration ' and to that very Clergyman Has confidently appeal., f .c r o o mzl h a i i s ns eff o t, f n r i s r: i n n ik wziethe.r what •he f u dl ot to i w o} a , r a ls n i l t e i t m i: Ilak more minute inquiries, suggested by your Lordslii ils.preg nant charge, have since di sc o vered to me l a - Priest prostituting the Sacted,Laver Qf Reenetation in ) compiratee wit le pusillanitttous request of a loya, Protestant Gentleman, who, to court the rabble (when like others around him he should have op, posed them)" entreated this Priest in their presence to baptize him ; I shall never deem such condescen. don, Whether elicited by goad nature or by loyalty, entitled to extraordinary credit ; much, lesS can I look upon it as a counterpoise against-every subse_. quent failure or inaptitude. The ReV.PETER O' t l\TE I I f , to whom your Lordship alludes in this same letter to. Lord Fliroist.L, has been 'urged .by the obloquy which assailed him, to lay. the particulars of,his situati on before the public in an humble remonstrance forwardad to your Lordship, through, the Post-01*e, .at my ciA:rn instance, the, MOMerlt. it issued from the Press. It has,.l trust, my Lord, fully vindicated my condua towards that much _injured man, and rernoyed the painful irnputation of insult to the offended justice of the hiws. It ,has, in my apprehension, deinOnstrated that his return was the concurtentad of two successive Chief Gover nors ; the one •Suspentiing his transpo r t at i on — t h e other Ordering him home from it. Nor this, my Lord, by way of a pardon which was never solicited, lint by an impartial. decision upon the merits of his arse. I will accordingly presume to hope, hat your Lordship ha'ving duly conside'red the fits stated in his.remonstrarice, is rather inclined to think that the . juStice, of the laws 'which had sunk under his .con. drinnation,*hatit re-asserted its power, and triumph: '_en in his th. - qUittal. YoUr Lordship, will also hope, has seen by this, remonstrance, that Mr. O'Nit is reinstatement in his former place,was not so much an ati of mine, as the provision of a SPiritnal Law, which in similar circumstances., would restore a Clergyman of the Established Church. th Pirthus sheviiing how strange,ty I was misrepre sented to 4 your Lordship, would not be understood to insinuate that the Personage who had. the honour of addreSsilig you, intended to miirepresent me ; I am fully convinced, My. Lord, that you would admit no man to ydur correspondence who could willingly devia'te from the truth: but. I am alike convinced that this Personage, respedabie as he doubtless is, • must have been in the present instance most grossly imposed upon. • Neither the elevated rank of Noblemen, nor their sacred re&,t;d to veracity, can always secure them against imposition from a certain class of men who .artfully contrive to b,eset them—Esquires of very late creation, who with matchless intrepidity of counte_ nance, can assassinate charalers or whisper them away, arid swear their. own falsehoods into currency. When the truly loyal are;every where. intent upon uniting all hearts and all hands in the common cause, and for the common good; these men 'are every where indefatigable, in promoting animosity and distrust for their own private purposes. I shall say more of them than barely to remind your Lord. ship, how much easier it is fur 'such gentry to make their impression, than fot an honest man to efface it. • It remains !or lir: to observe, before I close this letter; that upon the first intimation I received from a person, of rank in the l‘Aetropolis, that 'I had Ir;en traduced as above, I instantly wrote . a refutation of the -charges ; and was, then 'assured it shou4d be laid before your Lordship. But an un. willingnesS to 'intrude, has since, it seems, prevailed ag,iinst the promise, made me; 'which circumstance, tsf i)T Sta-. 4 ;;;.liet Papers si nce , as t h ey h ave compe l le d me to address )'our Lordship in this direa manner, they will, I hope, at the same time, be graciously admitted as my4apology. I have the honour'to be, with invio. able resileet, My Lord, Your Lordship's Most devoted humble Servant, W. COPPINGER. No i r E.—On the second day after I had written and posted my letter to Lord RE OISESDALE, I obtained a more accurate. account of the paragraph concerning me, than the public prints or the prior communication affOrded.. The paragraph says, that I brought him (meaning Mr. O'N.all.) bad: to whit in defiance of the Law, I call his parish. I Would gladly shelter myself, in this case, under the ACI of Parliament of the 2t st and 22d of His present 'Majesty ; entitled " Ad, for the further Relief of His 'Majesty's Subjects prorCssing the p o pi s h R e li g i on ;" which - rya, as I conceive it, expressly requires that Popish Ecclesiatics; to be-exempted fromfOrcher penalties, do insert upo - ft a separate and dist m d Roll in the Register's Office of each respective Diocese, - their Christian name and surname,- their age, the orders they have received, and the personsfrom ‘vi,lom they received them ; as also their place of abode; and their P ar i s h, if thP have a parish ; a copy of which Roll-was to be'annually returned by the Register, to the Clerk of the Privy C 611161, under the penalty of tool. - But asthe authority of Lord ft EDDEO)4I.Z, gives me now to fear that I-have totally misconceived the meaning of this a6t, I can-only Supplitate his indulgence for ati error,- which, if not quite pardonable, will at least induce a milder qualifica tion than defiance .) the law. lam the more earnest in this petition, as his . Lordship has precluded me 'trout any future recurrence to hint; and from any . farthei explanation, than what he has kindly condescended to give, in the following answer to my letter : Sr x, Ey-Place, Dublin, Feb.' t, My Letters to Lard FINGAL', (as far as they are the subjea of your complaint) were a confidential statement to a person of high rank and diameter and supposed influence amongst the Itqman Catholics ; of representations made to me, the truth of which I did not assert s but communicated them to his Lordship as Treceived them, that he might, make:proper inqui. `ries ; and if he found the representations to have any foundation, I hoped he might be induced to use his influence (which, find, I very much over-rated) to 'prevent what might produce considerable irritation in the minds of the Protestants of Ireland, These letters, therefine, ought to have remained in the elo., set of Lord FINGALL : a different use has been 'made of them for pitrPoses 'sufficiently obvious ; but I am not responsible for a publication which - is an abuse of my confidence, and perhaps also of the confidence. of Lord Fir/GALL. I have, I think, aright td complain o f any publication of those letsers ; but I have 'right most strongly-to complain of the. great injustice of that partial publication which has afforded ground for the grossest and most malicious misrepresentation. Those who determined to abuse my confidence and (as I am informed) that of Lord Ft NG A L L-, would have aged a 'more manly, and so far a leis, blameable pair, if they had given the whole correspondence as it has aaually passed, in print, sO as to be accessible .to every one. Any publication' I should have con sidered as • a gross injustice, - and must resent it as such. My letters could not ,have been injurious to you, if they, had rem:lints:l with Lord FINGALL. If any injury had arisen to yOu from the publication, it would no; have proceeded fro:n Bpt the letters, though rublishedi could not leave been in. --- jitriottg to yoo, had they stood alone, and without oc6dcdooi,d7NmrailmeetEneikdnte,citd:os;w:_fpoliott:l,rjuimlailtlpticitylidaeloeitdieurndr,fnwnotoaoramtmsia•.maetste)i:rn,:iitiutiFsiiinw:bylcimeio,cAetiL:rn. l*aa,innianu3dd,an,mmtr.aieealscn,A;_ennileovrortift, now tell me, atjoitr instance.
