THE LONDON JOURNALS. ..grTRACTS FROM TIIT. DAILY' MORNING PAPERS, May 25, 1822. . • DIORNING POST.I We have to-clay the sincerest gratification •in finally developing the • Chancellor of the Exche quer's plan for commuting the present dead charge of five millions on the Half-Pay . and Pen sion Lists, and also stating the several remissions of taxes ; amounting in the whole to two millions i year, which the Right lion. Gentleman last night proposed to the • House of Commons. It has often been our duty to bear witness to the satisfaction with which the measures of his Ma testy's Government have been received by Par liament, but in no instance perhaps do we re collect a stronger or more unanimous expression of that feeling, than during the progress and at the close of Mr. Vansittart's speech on the pre sent occasion. This satisfaction, We may confi dently add, was but a feeble earnest of what the whole Empire will experience and testify when the result of last night's proceedings is universally known. [THE TIMES.] Last night came forward the Chancellor of the Exchequer's new resolutions, for the purpose of shifting off upon posterity a portion of the payment of the military and naval pensions, now defrayed by the country every year. If the public can conceive a project, involving in itself every species of intricacy and perplexity, and ending at last in perfect . nullity, they will then have a just conception of the project now sub mitted to them. The nation at present can pay these pensions, for it does pay them ; a provision is made in this year's budget for the due dis charge of them ; but instead of this plain and intelligible course, what does the Chancellor of the Exchequer do? Ile pays over 2,800,000?. of them to certain trustees, whom he ena bles to increase that sum to the full amount of the pension and the half pay charge, by the sale of annuities. That is, for ex ample, a man who shall this year advance the sum of 10,0001. to the trustees for paying the pensions, will receive an annuity, according to the price it will obtain in the market, out of the 2,800,000/. charged upon the •consolidated fund, till the 45th year, when his annuity will have attained its maxi/mon of duration, and with a procumbit humi Los" suddenly stop. All that we can say upon this part of the scheme is, that it many people advance their money on such a speculation, we shall be surprised. The South Sea Company would not attempt to add to its stock for the purchase of such annuities; and what a Corporation would not do in the gross, in dividuals would hardly do in the detail. [NEW TIME,,.] We have great pleasure in drawing the atten tion of our Readers to the plan explained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night in the House. It will be found highly satisfactory in all its details, and especially as affording the gratifying relief of two millions sterling to the country in those taxes which have pressed most heavily on agriculture and shipping.—We heard with pleasure that the Sinking Fund was not only to be maintained in its full integrity of five millions annually to inci ease with compound interest, but was to be augmented by the sum of . four hundred thousand pounds per annum. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated likewise that no sale of the Annuity would take place this year, nor would there be any necessity for the issue of Exchequer Bills for the same period. It was gratifying to us to learn that the Governorand Deputy Governor of the Bank of England were to be constituted Commissioners with many of his Majesty's Ministers for the sale of the An nuity. Mr. Vansittart described the conduct - of the Directors of the Bank to have been guided by a prudent regard to the interest of the Proprietors ; and that it was perhaps on the whole much better for the country to save the premium which must have been paid upon so large a contract, if the Bank or any other great public Body had made an engagement for it.— We have seldom seen any proposition received by the House with stronger expressions of satis faction than the ResolOtions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night. DIORN_ING The attempt to destroy the Public House Mo nopoly has met with such serious opposition as to induce Mr. Bennet to abandon the only part of his Bill of material importance to the public, namely, that which made it imperatiye on Ma gistrates to grant licences. The Brewers, it is said, are great men in certain Boroughs, and these Boroughs have an overwhelming number of the votes of a certain house ; and therefore the monopoly must not be disturbed. Thus it is that almost every conceivable grievance con nects itself in one way or other with the state of the Representation. Mr. Hume thought it would be expedient to adopt the Licensing System of Scotland, under which no monopoly existed. It would be expedient enough, Goy knows, but tile thing'cannot be. The Scots have their Representatives nominated for them ; they - having no occasion to trouble themselves with the matter, and thus it does not become necessary to saddle them with the monopolies and burthens of various sorts, required in England and Ireland to make the semblance of a thing pass for the reality. —Beer monopolies, the comparative absence of leases, the Irish forty shilling tenures for life, which have been compared to Volish slavery, would not he necessary, if England or Ireland, were they either really free, or like Scotland had not even the semblance of political freedom.—No one thinks it necessary to deceive the Scots, and they are not themselves deceivGd with respect to their situa tion, which is certainly in many respects greatly superior to that of their neighbours ; and hence, no doubt, in spite of the natural disadvantages they labour under, the comparatively rapid pro gress they are every (lay making in agriculture and manufactures. No man of sense in Scotland 'Would wish to see the country converted: into one great theatre of Boroughmongering like Eng land, which would only be an object of real envy, were her suffrage placed on such a broad basis as to render the present cramping system unneces sary. [BRITISH PRESS.] The business in the House of Commons last night was very important. The Chancellor of the Exchequer developed his financial plans for the relief of the country. The South Sea Com pany being unable to contract for his pension scheme, and no other corporate body competent to the task being willing to undertake it, the Minister has been obliged to take it into his own hands and provide for it accordingly. With this view, he proposes to grant an annuity of 2,500,0001. a year, for 45 years, to be vested in trustees named by Parliament, and charged upon the Consolidated Fund. These trustees are to pay into the Exchequer the several annual sums specified in the scale of reduction ; and to enable them to do so, they are to be able to sell or dispose of so much of the said annuity as may be necessary to raise the sum required with in the year. And the better to enable the said Trustees to make good the annual payments at the times specified, the Commissioners of the Treasury are to be empowered to issue to them Exchequer Bills - -to the necessary amount, the same to be paid out of the money arising from the sale of said annuities. This plan, if adopted, would produce a present saving of 2,200,0001. a year, 400,0001. of which he proposed to reserve for the sinking fund, and the re maining 1,500,000/. to be remitted in taxes. The tax which he proposed to reduce is, the salt tax. This in England amounts at present to 15s. a bushel, and in Scotland to 6s. The duties in both countries he proposes to reduce to two shillings, being the amount of the duty now payable in Ireland, which would be attended with the further advantage of equalizing the duty in both parts of the United Kingdom ; but to prevent inconvenience to persons engaged in the trade, the reduction is not to take effect until the sth of January next. The amount of the tax thus reduced is estimated at 1,300,0001. The other reductions proposed are, half of the leather tax, amounting to 300,0001. a year ; the Irish window and hearth taxes, 250,0001. a year; and the repeal of the war tonnage duty, con tinued during the peace, amounting to 150,000/. —making a total of 2,000,0001. This plan pro duced a discussion of considerable length, in which it was stated that it would be more ad visable to have recourse directly to the sinking fund. An amendment to that effect was put by Mr. Hume, and negatived on a division. The Resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were then put and carried. [MORNING HERALD] - The Gazette of Nuiemberg has a long article upon the Negociations at Vienna, during the visit of M. de Tatischeff, with a reference to some previous circumstances. The article begins with saying that every thing at Vienna had been transacted under a thick veil, and there is nothing in it to induce the belief that this veil was pene trated by the writer. It goes back to the Reis Effendi's Note of the 2 d of December, which was offensive towards Russia, but still was com municated to that Power— with a Note from Prince Metternich, urging upon the pacific dis position of the Emperor Alexander, that the in terest of the European Powers required peace, and intimating the feasibleness of a pacific ar rangement. At the close of January, the an swer of the Emperor Alexander, rejecting the modifications of the Ultimatum demanded in the Turkish Note, on the ground that Russia could not, without lowering her dignity , recede from the Ultimatum, was received at Vienna. The other Powers now interfered, particularly Eng land, and the capacity displayed by Sir C. Bagot in this circumstance is much spoken of. It was perceived that, though Russia prepared for war, she seemed indisposed to commence it without concert with her Allies, and hopes were enter tained that: the Emperor Alexander would not interfere between the Porte and the Greeks. This was about the middle of February. To the forego ing considerations were added the financial exhaus tion of Russia by the moving of distant troops, and the hostility of Austria to the establishment of Russian dominion over Walachia and Moldavia. It was quite clear Russia could have no subsidy from England. The latter might even renew the continental system. Under these circum stances, the Emperor Alexander sent M. de Ta tischeff to Vienna, in order to sound the disposi tion of Austria on the spot. Some time after his arrival the Turkish Note of the 28th came, and was too offensive to be communicated to the Russian Government. It was merely shewn in confidence to M. de Tatischeff, but regarded as officially non-existent. It was again resolved to prosecute the negociations at Constantinople, as they were not wholly cut off by the Turkish Note, and the hope of peace was the stronger, that the Emperor Alexander declared he should modify his demands as far as the dignity of his Crown admitted. M. de Tatischeff left Vienna on the 20th April, and was expected to return in six weeks. BORROWING NEWSPAPERS.—From the com plaints in the newspapers, it would seem that this unhandsome practice is becoming every day more fashionable. There are few little vexations iu life more annoying than to have " Mrs. Trouble.. some's compliments" close upon the heels of the news-carrier, with a request " that Mr. Sensible would favour her with the evening's paper." A request so small cannot be refused lvithout giv ing offence ; and the consequence is, that many persons who take papers are obliged to defer reading them until their neighbours have .all sa tisfied their curiosity ; for Mrs. Troublesome has no sooner done with the paper, than Mr. Med dlesome stands ready to intercept it on its way home, and thus it goes the rounds of the neigh bourhood. The following method of counteracting the effects of laudanum is effectual :—" Lemon juice, taken imme diately, acts as an emetic, and prevents the lethargic appear ance of death, and consequently preserves life."- • CURE FOR CORNS.—Apply a rag, dipped in spermaceti oil. This simple application has cured a corn of thirty years standing. • FOR THE SUN. LETTER IX. MR. EDITOR—In mentioning the rebellion and massacre in Ireland, in the year 1641, Priest Walmesley, under the name of Pastorini, says— " The insurgents were not even the body of the " Catholics ; they were no more than an exaspe cc rated rabble in the province of Ulster, who " acted against the inclinations of the community, " and in opposition to the exhortations of their " clergy ; and indeed all such violences are con " demned by the Catholic doctrine. It is also " clear, from authentic records and testimonials, CC that this massacre has been exceedingly ex- , 44 aggerated, and that not one hundredth part of " the number were murdered that were reported." In opposition to these assertions, I shall prove from unquestionable authorities, and I doubt not to the entire satisfaction of every dispassionate reader, that the rebellion and massacre had been several years in contemplation, that they were planned and fomented by Priests and Jesuits ; that, so far from the insurrection having been confined to " an exasperated rabble in the pro vince of Ulster," all the Papists in Ireland were engaged in it : and that " such violences" were not condemned, but countenanced by " the in fallible head of the Church, the successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles," the disciple of him who came to proclaim " peace on earth, good-will towards men." On the 16th of March, 1640, Sir 11. Vane, Chief Secretary to King Charles 1., addressed the following letter to Sir Wm. Parsons and Sir J. Borlace, Lords Justices :—" His Majesty " hath commanded me to acquaint your Lord " ships with an advice given him from abroad,l " and confirmed by his Ministers in Spain and " elsewhere, which in this distempered time, " and conjunction of affairs, deserves to be se- ' ' l " riously considered, and an especial care and " watchfulness to be had therein ;—which is, " that of late there have passed from Spain, and " the like may well have been from other parts, " an unspeakable number of Irish Churchmen " for England and Ireland, and some good old " soldiers, under pretext of asking-leave to raise " men for the King of Spain ; whereas it is ob " served, among the Irish Friars there, a wills " per runs, as if they expected a rebellion in " Ireland, and particularly in Connaught.— ," Wherefore his Majesty thought fit to give your " Lordships this notice, that in your wisdoms " you might manage the same with that dexterity " and secrecy, as to discover and prevent so " pernicious a design, if any such there should " be, and to have a watchful eye on the pro " ceedings and actions of those who come thither " from abroad, on what pretext soever." We learn from Doctor Jones's deposition, taken on the 3d of March, 1642, and deposited in the library of the University at Dublin, that a numerous meeting of the principal Ecclesiastics, and some of the prin cipal leaders in the conspiracy, was held at the Great Abbey of Multifarntim, in the County of Westmeath, early in October, 1641, when among other subjects of debate a question arose, "what course should be taken with the English, and all others that were found in the whole kingdom to be Protestants ?" Some were for expelling them, as the King of Spain had dismissed the Moors out of Granada; but others objected to this as weak policy, on the ground that they would re turn with increased numbers, and ten-fold ven geance. It was, however, at length determined, " that a general massacre was the only sure and safe mode of getting rid of the English and the Protestants." Sir John Temple, .Master of the Rolls, and one of his Majesty's Privy Council in Ire land, and of course a man well acquainted with passing events, informs us, in his History of that Rebellion, that lie had seen an examination of one, " who affirms he heard it confidentially " averred by Malene, a Priest, one that styled " himself Chaplain Major within the pale, that he himself had been seven years employed in " bringing on the plot to perfection, and that he " had travelled into several parts about it." " That Patrick O'Brien, of the parish of Galloom, " in the County of Fermanagh, affirmeth upon " oath that all the Nobles in the Kingdom that " were Papists , had a hand in this plot, as " well as the Lord M'Guire and Hugh Oge " M'Mahon; that they expected aid out of " Spain, by Owen Roc O'Neal ; and that Colonel Plunket, one of those that was to be " an actor in the surprise of the Castle of Dub " lin, told him that he knew of this plot eight " years since, and that within these three years " he hath been more fully acquainted with it." And " That' Francis Sacheveril, Esq. bath de " posed, that at several times, shortly after the " beginning of this rebellion, he bath heard four " several Popish Priests, viz. Hugh Rely, of the county of Down, Edmund o"funnagh, of the " county of Armagh, Morice M'Credan, of the " county of Tyrone, and James Hallegau, of the " county of Armagh, say, that the Priests, Je " suits, and Friars of England, Ireland, Spain, 44 and other countries beyond the seas, were the " plotters, projectors, and contrivers of this re " hellion and insurrection ; and that they have " been these six years in agitation and prepara " tion of the same ; and that the said Priests " did then express a kind of joy that the same " was brought to so good effect." From the same authority we learn, that Hugh Oge M'Mahon, a Colonel, who had been seized on the morning of the 23d of October, in his lodgings, did, before the Privy Council, " with " out much difficulty confess the plot, resolutely " telling them, that on that very day all the " forts and strong places in Ireland would " be taken; that he, with the Lord M'Guire, " Hugh Birn, Captain Brian O'Neal, and se " veral other Irish gentlemen, were come up " expressly to surprise the castle of Dublin.— " That twenty men out of each county in the " kingdom were to be here to join with them. " That all the Lords and Gentlemen in the king " dom that were Papists were engaged in this " plot. That , what was that day to be done in ".other parts of the country, was so far advanced '" by that time, as it was impossible for the wit " of man to prevent it." Lord Macguire, in his examination before Lord Lambert and Sir Robert Meredith, on the 26th day of March, 1642, did confess his know ledge of the plot for some time before the 23d of October,—" That in the May preceding, we, " Roger Moore, Philip O'Rely, and Roger Mac " quire, his brother, despatched a Priest, one 44 Trot O'Conley, unto Owen O'Neal, into Flan " ders, to acquaint him with the business con " cerning the general Rebellion then in prepara " ration; which said Priest returned about a " month before the time appointed for execution " thereof. And the answer which the said Priest " brought from the said Owen O'Neal was, ,that 44 he would (fifteen days after the people were " up,) be with him, with his best assistance and cc arms :"—" And that the castle of Dublin was " to have been surprised by himself, Captain " Bryan O'Neal, Captain Con O'Neal, Captain Macmahon, one Owen O'Rely, Roger Moore, 44 Hugh Macmahon, Colonel Plunket, and Cap " tain Fore : And likewise further acknow " ledgeth, that Hugh Macphelim, Captain Con " O'Neal, and Bryan O'Neal, brought from lc Owen O'Neal, out of Flanders, the very same 44 message which the said Priest brought." The examination from which this has been taken was confirmed by Lord Macguire in the Tower of London, and proven on his trial. The Lords of the pale of the Romish commu nion attended at the castle, and professed, in strong terms, their loyalty and attachment to his Majesty. Two or three days after, they sent a Petition to the Lords Justices, mentioning the deep sense they had of the expression used in the late Proclamation, as to " some evil-affected Irish Papists," which, they feared, might reflect generally upon them : therefore, another pro clamation was forthwith issued, to satisfy their minds : also, to shew their confidence in them, the Lords Justices granted commissions to the Romish Lords and Gentlemen of the pale, as well as to the Protestant, and supplied them with arms and ammunition for their defence. It was obvious, however, afterwards, that they were privy to the conspiracy from an early period af ter its formation ; and that their professions of loyalty were made only to deceive; for to a man they joined the ranks of rebellion. From the deposition of Doctor Jones I have proven the part taken by the Romish Clergy, previous to the dreadful explosion. To shew their continued approbation and sanction, I shall now add, that O'Neil, titular Primate, held a convocation of the Bishops and inferior Clergy of his Archiepiscopal Diocess at Bills, in Janu ary, 1642—(it is but justice to inform the reader that Doctor Dease, titular Bishop of Meath, re fused to attend), when they declared the rebel lion then raging to be " a pious and lawful war;" and they exhorted all persons to join in it. Those who have not had the advantage of reading the late Doctor Dromgoole's speech, de livered in the Catholic Board on the Sth of De cember, 1813, may not know that the Romish " Bishops correspond with the Supreme Head of " the Church as a father—that they receive his 44 pastoral instructions—and that they comma " nicate to him the success of their labours ;" and may probably accuse the Right Reverend and Reverend, the Bishops and Priests that attended the meeting at Multifarnum, and the convocation at Kells, of presumption, in sanction ing rebellion and the consequent massacre, without authority from 44 the Supreme Head of the Church ;" therefore, to exculpate them from so severe a charge, I shall here give an extract from a Bull issued by Pope Urban VIII., which fully proves that 66 his Holiness" approved of their conduct upon both these occasions.—" Hay " ing taken into our serious consideration the " great zeal of the Irish towards the propagat- I" ing of the Catholic Faith, and the piety of the " Catholic warriors in the several armies of that " Kingdom, (which was for that singular fervency " in the true worship of God, and notable care " had formerly in the like case by the in " habitants thereof, for the maintenance and " preservation of the same orthodox faith, called " of old ' the land of Saints') and having got cer " tain notice how, in imitation of their Godly " and. worthy ancestors, they endeavour, by " force of arms, to deliver the enthralled nation " from the oppressions and grievous injuries of " the heretics, wherewith this long time it bath " been afflicted and heavily burthened, and gal " lantly to do in them what lieth to extirpate and 46 totally root out those workers of iniquity, who, " in the kingdom of Ireland, have infected, and CC are always striving to infect, the mass of Catholic 44 purity, with the pestiferous leaven of their " heretical contagion ; we therefore being willing " to cherish them with the gifts of those spiritual " graces, whereof by God we are ordained the 44 only disposer on earth, by the mercy of " the same Almighty God, trusting in the cc authority of the blessed Apostles, Peter " and Paul ; and by virtue of that power of " binding and loosing of souls, which God pleased 44 (without our deserving) to confer upon us ; to " all and every one of the faithful Christians in " the foresaid kingdom of Ireland, now and for " the time militating against the heretics, and " other enemies of the Catholic Faith, they being " truly and sincerely penitent, after confession, cc and the spiritual refreshing of themselves with " the sacred communion of the body and blood 44 of Christ, do grant a full and plenary indul " genre, and absolute remission of all their sins." From the examination of Robert Maxwell, Archdeacon of Down, as given in Sir John Tem ple's History, it appears " that there were above " one hundred and fifty-four thousand wanting 4C of the British within the very precinct of IJI " ster." And. Sir John informs us, that " there 44 were, since the rebellion first broke out, unto " the time of the cessation, made September 15, 4C 1643, which was not full two years after, above " three hundred thousand. British and Protestants ‘ C cruelly murdered in cold blood, destroyed some " other ways, or expelled out of their habitations, 4C according to the strictest conjecture and corn " putation of those who seemed best to under ".stand the numbers of English planted in Ire- I cc land, besides those few which perished in the 46 heat of fight during the war." Pastorini has made positive assertions, some of them " from authentic records and testimonies;" but he has not informed us where we can refer to them. I have accused him of gross misrepre sentations, omissions, and falsehoods ; and I have supported my charges by references to unquestionable authorities. It is, therefore, for the candid reader to determine who is enti tled to credence, the " Vicar Apostolic," or " Sidney." I have not, however, yet done with him ; but shall resume the subject in my negt letter; as 'I conceive it to be one of vital conse quence to the Protestant interest, at a time when an awful indifference to religion seems to pervade one party; while that of the other is daily gaining strength, and their artifices, to attain the object of their ambition, keep an equal pace with their zeal. I shall conclude the present letter with a short extract from a History of the Rebellion and Massacre, in the,year 1641, written by a MeigL ber of the Irish House of Commons, who, like Sir John Temple, was a witness of the dreadful scenes then acted.—" Thus was this inhuman " and treacherous rebellion unanimously coin " plotted, which broke forth the 23d of October, " 1641, Saint Ignatius's day, that less than " such a patron might not be entitled to so " close and bloody a conspiracy, forty year! " before forewarned by the • incomparable and " pious Archbishop Usher, preaching, soon " after the overthrow of the Spaniards at Kin' " sale in 1601, on the vision of Ezekiel, chapter " 4th, verse 6th, whence in reference to a con " nivance of Popery following, he drew thi s " application—' From this day, a day being " for a year, I will reckon the sin of Ireland, " that those whom you now embrace shall 1 : e " your ruin, and you shall b ear thi s i n i qu ity." Let not this awful and prophetic warning, addressed to Protestants in 1601, be disregarded by Protestants of the present time, lest " those whom they now emb race s h a ll b e t h e i r ru i n ,lan' they shall bear this iniquity."
