THE LONDON 'A/MN:4,LS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, August .24, 1822. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The public expect of a Journalist, that he should communicate the reports and conjectures *hiCh are 'at any time afloat respecting Minis terial successions, and we have , therefore, more than once alluded to the different on as in cir- CulatiOri with regard to the changes to which the }Ate vacancy will give rise. It is now conEdently Stated in certain quarters, that though the Duke of, Wellington is to proceed to the Congress, Mr.. Peel is to be Foreign Secretary, and that Lord Colchester is to receive the Home Department. The No Popery party will, in. this case, become alt powerful in the Cabinet, receiving an addition to their number, hile the other has suffered a diminution. We express no opinion respecting the duration of such a Ministry, for it is difficult to see how any set of men should not be able to keep their places if they choose. ft is to receive, it is said, the strenuous support of Mr. Bragge Bathurst, who has expressed a determination to take a leading part in the [louse of Commons during the next Session From the known sentiments of Lord Liverpool, as to the importance of having Mr. Canning, it May be supposed that every exertion has been made by him to overcome the tepugnance existing in a certain high quarter to his appointment. The idea has, however, been tome time abandoned. [MORNING HERALD.] The last accounts from Scotland describe the progress of the Royal visit in glowing and, we believe, in faithful colours. The holding of a Court' at Holy rood House, not only from the remembrances of Royalty associated with the place, bur from the vivacity, variety, and splen dour of the scene—the picturesque diversity of military dress and arms—and the elegancies of the female toilette—seems to have made an im pression not to be forgotten soon. His Majesty was greatly pleased with the array of Scottish be'auty which appeared 'before him ; and the ladies in their turn were delighted with the gra ciousness with which they were received. The - King is in the best health and spirits, and highly ratified, as may be readily believed, with his visit. Addresses have been presented to him by the several Scottish Colleges, and by the N,a tienal and Episcopal Churches of Ekotland. [MORNING POST.] The intelligence respecting the arming of the Russian fleet at Sebastopol is confirmed by ad vices from Odessa, with this addition, that it is said to consist of 14 sail of the line. Such a force, with 'an adequate number of troops on hoard, would he suffickient, under the present circum stances, to take possession of Constantinople, and thus to avoid all the difficulties, delays, and dFngess of a campaign by land. The Ottoman fl;eet, since its disaster, may be considered as ldst to the Porte. According to advices from Trieste, of the sth instant, most of the vessels vhich escaped conflagration on the night of the destruction of the Capitan Pacha, had run for rfuge to the port of Oliveto in the island of Me telin (the ancient Lesbos), having lost their.an cholls which they cut at the moment of their flight. As that port was entirely open, and the Turks had not sufficient courage left to attempt to re gollit the Dardanelles, as they would have to en cyunte‘;' a Grecian fleet of thirty-six. sails, which closed the entrance to. that Strait, it was expected that they would disarm their' own ships and destroy them, to prevent them from falling into tile hands .of. the Greeks. The reported defeat of the...united Egyptian and Algerine squadrons, near Soda. in the island.of Candia, was confirmed. The massacre of the inhabitants of the. Village of Tvfas - kic, at Stio; had filled the population of all the isles of the Archipelago with fresh ardour to break down the power of their oppressors, and to revenge the slaughter of their fellow•countrymen. A merchant vessel had brought intelligence to TTleSte of the surrender of the fortresses of Coron and Motion, to the Greeks, when they learned the destruction of the Capitan Pacha, which de. priVed them of all hopes of being relieved. Patras was therefore the only fortress which the Turks still retained in the Morea. [THE TIMES.] The rumour we stated three days ago is so far confirmed, that by what we learn on good au thority, the Duke of Wellington actually pro ceeds ih quality of Ambassador or Negociator from this country to the approaching Congress. This - is a melancholy appointment for his prin cipals, and it is not, we fear, a very prorni-ing one.for their allies. The natural instruments of otgociation do not appertain to his Grace. He can neither persuade the refractory, nor conc►- liate the reluctant, nor put on record his own successes, whether good: or bad, so as to : furnish any decent addition. to the classic treasures of that bureau bequeathed to him by Lord Londonderry. That the Duke ~of Marlborough should have triumphed as a ne gociator, (though Critics find fault with his spelling), does not much surprise us; for besides being a man of enlarged and versatile genius, he was the most pleasing and insinuating personage of his time. Nor ought his triumphs—we now speak of him as a Foreign Minister—to be envied any more than they can be disputed ; for they maintained the cause of civil and religious liberty. If the : present Commander of the British armies aims at a-worthy rivalship with Marlborough, let him' think for a moment to what a glorious end, that great man's powers were exerted !—lt i. affirmed that the Duke of Wellington is to meet the'-Pnperor of Russia at Vienna on the 15th of September, and that Mr. Planta accompanies his Gcace, as Secretary to the mission. [BRITISH PRESS.] If the extent of Ministerial patronage were riot *ell known, the public might well be sur priOci,that the present Ministers should think of catigi*ng to their places after the irreparable loss they have recently sustained by the death of their leader. The late Marquis of London derry enjoyed in no mean degree the reputation of high talents, and he was universally regarded as the sword and shield of the present Cabinet. He appeared in the eye of the world as the effi cient Minister of the Crown, and those who re member the abject condition of his colleagues in Parliament, during the time of his absence on the Continent, will feel with how much propriety this rank was conferred upon him by public opi nion. Nothing could at that time have upheld the Ministers, or have enabled them, night after night, to encounter the taunts and ridicule of their opponents, but the hope of soon seeing their leader return, and face the battle to which they were miserably unequal. 46 Cast your eyes, Sir," said Mr. Ponsonby one evening to the Speaker, with more than his usual anima tion ; " cast your eyes, Sir, upon that bench, and say whether, in the long course of your parliamentary experience, you ever beheld a set of Ministers exhibit so wretched, so woe-begone an appearance." The Treasury Bench on that occasion displayed an exemplary forbearance, for not one of the party ventured to move a tongue in retaliation or defence. Scenes of such a nature, 'continually repeated, were humiliating as well to the House eI Commons as to the Ministers, and all parties were relieved when Lord Castlereagh again appeared in the House, and removed the reproach of silence and embarrassment from the ranks of his followers. [NEW TRIES.] • '[lie following is a correct copy of a notice in The Black Dwarf of Wednesday last:— " Chafes _haddocks begs leave to return his sincere thanks to the Ladies and 6entlemen, who, at the dinner at Birming ham, given in honour of Mr. Wooler, generously subscribed the sum of fifteen pounds two shillings towards the support of himself and three other incarcerated Reformers. The share lapsing to him of 31. Ids. 6d. hai been kindly forwarded by Mr. 'Akins. He wishes to add, that this manifestation of feeling ,for the victims of' despotism, together..with the gram' display of it on the entrance of Mr. Wooler into Birmingham, play pro bably have had considerable cfect, in inducing one of the bit terest enemies . to the rights of mankind to execute judgment upon himself, and thus transmit himself to 4 his own place.' And he sincerely hopes that a similar display of the public feeling on the release of the captive of Ilchester may have similar effects upon the nerves of some other personages, and induce them in a similar manner to transmit themselves to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller re turns." If risibility could possibly be excited on so melancholy an occasion, it might be the idea of the Marquis of Londonderry's putting an end to his own existence, because 3/. 15s. 6d. had been collected for Charles Maddocks !!!—But more serious considerations and more indignant feel ings are excited by this diabolical notice. We here find a man, or rather a monster, felici tating himself, and congratulating his friends, upon the fancy that he has had some share in the death of a most estimable Nobleman. And here is both writer and editor concurring in the public expression of a wish that other Members of the Administration may speedily find a similar end. Is it then a matter to be doubted, that those who thus glory in their invocation of a violent death to those individuals, would only hesitate to inflict that violent death from a fear of punishment ? Or will it be denied that strong measures are necessary to the very existence of a community, when persons, thus by implication professing their desire to commit murder upon political principle, are coming openly forward and banding themselves together ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Some few days ago, a man named John Martin was, with his wife, held to bail for receiving stolen goods from children of a tender age, The said man keeps a Marine Store Shop, in Crown-street, Soho, well known to the Offi cers of Police. Yesterday he attended at this Office to claim a large trunk of brass-work, which had been found in the loft at No. 24, in the same street, which he said was his property. A woman, who resides as a lodger at No. 24, Crown-street, said, that on Tuesday last she obtained leave from one of the lodgers who lives at the top of the house, to hang up some clothes fronting the window to dry, and while she was thus busily employed, she heard a violent crack ; she looked round, and immediately saw the ceiling give way, and in a moment after a man's legs came through, and there he stuck ; was so petrified at what she saw, which was so unexpected, that she was for a moment unable to stir, but obtaining resolution, she ran down stairs, but when she returned, she found the man gone. In the confusion some people created an alarm of fire. rrhe engines arrived, and all the surrounding neighbourhood was in a state of uproar. Martin's son was found concealed at the top of the adjoining house, and there was found in the loft the trunk, containing the brass work produced, which was quite full and new. Martin said that he had purchased the things of various persons—that he thought he recollected buy ing a knocker, which was among, the things, at Mr. Reynolds's shotain Frith-street. Upon the whole he gave such an unsa- , tisfactory account, that the Magistrates, Sir R. Birnie and- Mr. Minshull, ordered the trunk, with its contents, to be de tained, at the simile time cautioning Martin how he acted for the future. TIATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday, Thomas Leithwich Ro binson was charged by Mr. Sykes, Solicitor to the Stamp-office, with feloniously forging and placing the King's mark on several articles of plate, with intent to defraud the revenue. On Mon day last a large chest of plate was entered at the Custom- , house for exportation ; it was from a most respectable gold and silversmith, and Consigned to another at Calais. On the plate being examined, at the Custom-house, it was discover ed that many of the articles had the Hall mark forged on them; the consequence was that the whole chest of plate was seized on ; an inquiry wasinade at the silversmith's who consigned them when, without hesitation, he. informed Mr. Mills, Inspector of the - Marks and Stamps at the Goldsmiths' Hall, of the Pri soner's name and address from whom he bought the articles which bore the forged stamps. The Prisoner declined making any defence. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner committed to Newgate for trial. Uarross-HALT..—Yesterday a brutal fellow, named James Tinting,. a groom in the service of T. Richardson, Esq., who , resides in the Kent-road, was, before M. SWABEY, Esq., charged with having maliciously stabbed a very valuable horse, the property of hiS master. The greatest indignation was ex cited by the examination. Mr. Richardson stated, that about six o'clock on Thursday evening, as he was sitting in his par lour, he heard a very unusual noise proceeding from the stable. He immediately ran into the yard, and upon, looking through the stable window, saw the prisoner, with a large stable fork in his hand, making a furious attack upon one of the horses. The poor animal plunged very much, and groaned, but' the prisoner continued the attack, and inflicted a desperate wound in the jaw of the horse, the prongs of the fork having entered about two inches. The witness entered the stable, and re probated the cruelty of the fellow, but was himself soon given to understand that as little ceremony would be shown to him self as had been shown to the poor horse. " D—n you, you old villain," said the prisoner. " I'll serve you as I have served your horse, and I'll set your house on fire too." The witness added, that of late prisoner was in the habit of drinking very much, and that the abominable habit had wrought the greatest change in the unfortunate man. The horse was rendered useless in consequence of the wound.—The Magistrate strongly repro bated the inhumanity of the prisoner, and sentenced him to pay a fine of M., to be imprisoned for two months in the House of Correction, and to find securities to keep the peace. Maittaionawili-STstaaxan Yesterday Mons. Brusseni, valet de chambre to a Spanish Nobleman, was charged with driving over a poor man, the husband of a laundress, in Ithe Fulham-road, on the 13th of August. The defendantaleelared it was merely accidental.—A sea4eniant .waa .agreed;; to, and I defendant paid FOR THE SUN. LETTtIt XXI. MR. Enrroa—Those who support the claims of the Roman Catholics, from the greatest orator who amuses his auditors with jests, it matters not whether at the expellee of the dead, the living, or the unfortunate, to him who is scarcely capable of going beyond a simple aye or no, all indulge in the most ridiculous and mischievous hyperbole, exaggerating or diminishing, and frequently, con cealing circumstances, as may suit their purpose, — all assert, that Popery has undergone total trans formation, and is not now of the dangerous and persecuting nature it was formerly ; or at least, that the enlightened minds of its modern pro fessors, partaking of the amiable liberality that distinguishes the present age, are not under the influence of a blind, superstitious, intolerant re ligion :—of course, that there can no longer be any danger in admitting-Roman Catholics, and that they ought to be admitted into both Houses of Parliament, and into the highest offices in the State, equally with Members of the Established Church. It is, however, not a little remai kable that these liberal-minded advocates of Popery make their assertions in direct opposition to the Ihighest authority in Ireland, Doctor Troy, who has declared, that " the Roman Catholic Reli gion is UNCHANGEABLE, and applicable to all times ;" and also in opposition to no inconsidera ble lay authority in England, Mr. Francis Plowden, who in his " Case Stated," uses this strong expression, " If any one says, or pretends to insinuate, that modern Roman Catholics, who have been late objects of the bounty of Parlia ment, differ. in ONE lOTA from their ancestors, he either deceives himself, or WISHES to deceive others. SEMPER EADEM is more emphatically de scriptive of our Religion than of our Jurispru dence :" so that these emancipators evince as total ignorance of the Romish, as they do want of regard for the ProteStant Religion, which they at least profess. In the course of this series of letters, I have endeavoured to shew, by a comparison of its pre sent with its former character, that Popery is as harsh, unbending, domineering, and tyrannical, as it was in the darkest ages ; and that its modern professors are actuated by the same intolerant spirit, and the same hostility to pure religion and civil liberty, that distinguished its adherents at any former period. In support of my allega tions, I appeal to every act of the present Pon tiff, Pius VII., since his emancipation from the power of " his dear son in Christ," Buonaparte, to his re-establishment of that detested engine of Papal Tyranny, the Inquisition—to his Bull o? August 1814; for the restoration of the demoniac order of Jesuits " in the ecclesiastical States, and also in all other States, on the most pressing petitions from his venerable brethren, the Arch bishops and Bishops" (quere—did any go from the " Holy Island")—to his Bull, addressed to the Primate of Poland in June 1816, in which he styles the Bible Societies " a pestilence," and " a defilement of the faith"—to his Bull of September 1819, addressed to, the Irish Romish Bishops upon the same subject—to his censure of the French Government for " countenancing Heretics, Sectaries, and Schismatics ;" to which source may be traced the late persecution of Protestants in the southern Provinces of that Kingdom, of whom 18,000 were reduced to beggary, and- many hundreds were murdered — and finally to his declaration, that any connexion with Heretics was " an alliance between Christ and Belial, light and darkness, truth and false hood, sincere Piety and Impiety." 1 also ap peal to the Resolutions and Pastoral Letters of the Romish Bishops in this unhappy Country— to their hostility and opposition to the use of the Holy Scriptures, and to every plan of education sanctioned by Protestants--to their avowed and open patronage of the Republication of Ward's " Errata of the Protestant Bible," his " Con troversy of Ordination," •Pastorini's " History of the Christian Church," and numerous other pestiferous works—to their criminal supine ness, both before and since the explosion of Rebellion, though they can fulminate the thunder of the 'church in support of their own spi ritual authority, or to enforce their own exac tions, as I have already shewn ; and of which I shall give another recent and notable instance. Finally, I appeal to the speeches of Popish Ora tors at Aggregate Meetings and in their " ille " gal Assemblies," to the Manifestoes of the leaders of their party, and to other publications that issue from a Popish press. In a word, I appeal to the speeches, declarations, publications, and actions of the whole Romish community, lay as well as clerical, for the last thirty years. Two cases in point have recently occurred, which I cannot avoid here mentionh7g : the first will shew the bigotry, intolerance, and insolence of a Romish priest ; the second will furnish an unanswerable proof, not only of the tyranny ex ercised, and the unbounded influence retained, by the Romish Bishops ; but also that the ter rors of the church can be called into action with ef fect, for the purpose of promoting their own views; though, when the peace of the country is con cerned, they can be allowed to remain dormant. As to the first—ten or twelve respectable Pro testants had attended the funeral of a deceased neighbour, on Sunday the 7th of July, to the neighbourhood of a Romish chapel, into which they were led by curiosity to enter ; and they heard part of an e difying sermon. The priest denounced the terrors of the church against all Roman Catholics, who should suffer their chil dren to attend schools patronized by. heretics : " for," said he, 4 ' the Established Church is a " humbugging, idolatrous, heretical church, in " which is no salvation. The object of their " schools is to put the Bible into the hands of " children. I tell you the Bible should not be " read in schools, nor should it be read by any . " that are not in holy orders. You cannot un " derstand it. The P rotes tant Church has per " vested the holy Scriptures to its own purposes. " It turns and explains the Testament for its " object, contrary to the true meaning ; and I is s e Roman Catholic: no salvation to be :c "obtaineddeclare to you except there th in 44 Church. All Heretics must perish everlast " ingly." And this is one of the scions lately engrafted into the Priesthood, from the Seminary at i\laynooth, endowed and supported by a Pro testant State !!! The second is furnished by the Limerick Chronicle of Monday the 22d of July, which states, that " the parishes of Loughmore, Mon " gret, and Rahoon, in the Liberties of Limerick, " have been excommunicated by the Right Rev. " Doctor Toohy, for contumacy and disobedi " ence, in rejecting the Rev. Mr. McNamara, of " this city, as their Pastor, whom the Bishop had " appointed to that situation. Excomrnunica " tions were yesterday fulminated from the dif " ferent altars of the chapels of this city, against the refractory parishioners." It is scarcely necessary to add, that those rebels against the " Mother Church" have returned to their al legiance. In my 14th Letter, which appeared in your Paper of the 29th of June, mentioned two in stances, the one of a Romish titular Bishop, the other of a Romish Priest, having excommuincated each an individual, to the ruin of his circum stances, for refusing to comply with their exac tions ; and in my subsequent Letter, I gave an ex tract. from a Bull of Doctor Coppinger, threaten ing to withhold the Last Sacrament from such married persons as should refuse to separate from his or her yoke-fellow, though his Majesty's Ec clesiastical Courts hold those . same marriages valid." But Doctor Toohy's is a sweeping clause, excommunicating the inhabitants of three parishes, for resisting his high authority, in the appoint ment of a Priest. Now, Mr. Editor, this Rev. Doctor's district, or diocess, was the very focus of sedition, treason, and murder ; it was the hot bed, in which those baleful weeds were germin ated, nurtured, and matured; and from whence they were transplated into the adjoining coun ties : yet this pious orthodox Divine remain ed perfectly passive, while - those crimes were plotted, and afterwards perpetrated, by the members of his communion, by his own flock, " whom it was his duty to instruct and keep in the right way." No sooner, however, did they presume to resist his spiritual authority, than the thunder of the Church was fulminated against them ; and it is worthy of notice how soon the terror of excommunication brought them to submission. It must be manifest, therefore, that had he thought it his duty to an heretical State— had he thought it his duty as a Minister of Him, who came to proclaim " Peace on earth, and good will towards men," to have called into action this infallible thunder of his infallible church, he would have saved many valuable lives to society —he would have saved his country from an in delible stain—and he would have saved thou sands of his own communion from the commission of crimes, which drew upon themselves the punish ments they merited, and ruin upon their wretched families. No person of common sense, who has any knowledge of the Popish religion, can for a moment suppose that Dr. Toohy and his Priests were ignorant that "a bloody insurrection was on the eve of breaking out ;" for, as auricular con fession is a sacrament in the Romish church, as every person is obliged to go frequently to con fession, and as it is a crime of the deepest dye to ' , conceal any thing, even thoughts, from a ghostly Father, by which means priests acquire a com plete ascendancy over the laity :—for these rea sons, I repeat, it is obvious that the Romish priests must long since have been thoroughly ap prized of the intended " bloody insurrection," as well as the prophet Daniel. What opinion, then, can we form of Romish priests who, from the principles of their religion, must be acquainted with the very springs of action of the laity—who, by means of the terrors of excommunication and purgatory, have unbounded controul over their minds—and who can fulminate the thunder of their church, to promote their own views, or the interests of that church:—w hat opinion can we form of those priests, who, with such irresistible powers, could tamely witness treason, murder, and rapine de solating the land ? For myself, although their hands have not been actually imbrued in the blood of the victims of superstitious fanaticism, I consider them as guilty as the , wretches that immolated Mr. Brereton, and the interesting youth, Hoskins. There is misprision of treason, and there is misprision of felony ; let those that are learned in the law define the degrees of guilt in the perpetrators of crimes, and those that are privy to them : but I do conceive that the deep est shade attaches to the most Reverend and Re verend Personages, who, by means of their own supreme and irresistible spiritual authority, or by a timely disclosure, might have prevented the scenes of horror and devastation which have desolated and disgraced the country, since his Majesty's visit to Ireland. Permit me now, my Protestant fellow-subjects of the United Empire, to call upon you in the most solemn manner, as you value the blessings of religious anti civil liberty you now enjoy, to be watchful over, and firmly to stand forth in defence of, those liberties—" in defence of that " Protestant Establishment, which placed Eli " zabeth upon the Throne, and laid the founda " tion of that edifice which has been the wonder " of surrounding Nations—the British Empire ; " that Establishment which survived the mis " taken policy of Charles I.—which was inter " woven into the British Constitution by the " prudent foresight of Sir William Cecil—which 44 was adhered to by the honestest and wisest 44 men in the Parliament of the first Charles, " (among them the good Lord Southampton, " father of Lady Russell, whose Lord was sacri " ficed at the shrine of Popery,) which survived " the hypocritical tyranny of Cromwell, which cc was acted upon by the true- Patriots in the " reign of Charles 11., which bowed to the cc dust the hereditary honours of his infatuated 44 brother, James 11., which raised to empire King " William 111. of glorious memory, which was 64 seized and relied on as the safeguard of Britain cc by the great Lord Somers, and that constella " tion of able Statesmen who, with him, pro " duced the glorious Revolution ;—that Pro " testant Establishment which, in a happier hour, cc hound the fortunes of Britain and House of " Brunswick together ; and which, I trust, will cc bind them for ever, in despite of the machina ." tion of Popish Committees ) Couveutions, " Boards, and their Coadjutors."—(Letters by a Protestant, published by Chapple, Pall Mal i ' London.) I shall now, Mr. Editor, take leave of you an d your Readers for a time. To you, Sir, I return my best thanks for your kind and flattering at" tention to my Letters, which will encourage Iva to resume my pen, when any thing shall occu r ' To your Readers I will say, that if I have ad vanced arguments which may have convinced twi t of them, before misled by P o pi s h ar tifices, °J; the danger that must arise to our E cc lesiastica l arid Civil Establishments, from granting politio"_ , power to Roman Catholics,—l shall think mY labour well rewarded. And, for myself, 1 b e , 6 , leave to add, that, as w e ll in th e cour se of th is tedious series of letters, as upon former act" sions, have drawn my information from history from Parliamentary Records, and other authen' tic documents ; nor have I " set down aught in malice ;" so that, however the eye of criticiso may discover errors in the arrangement of rnf subject, or in my style, I Lave no apprehensi on that any thing I have advanced will be contr°' verted. I cannot better conclude than in the address , of a late writer :—" Our Constitution is a then : " so glorious ; and were they th e l a st words " were to write, or the last words I had to utte r ' " I would invoke the people of this land in t be , " words of the Roman Patriot, while 1 1 010 5 " up the Constitution and Laws to their view Oh, never let them perish in your hands, But piously transmit them to your children.'
