THE LONDON JOUIINAL,;. Tx,TRACTS FROM !Tar. 'D 11 f,Y litollNiG PAFERS, August 15 1829.. [MORNING POST. It is still uticertain.who is to' be the successor to the Marquis of Londonderry. Sir Charles Stuart, whom rumour has mentioned among others, is 'more probably intended to be the British Deputy . to the projected Congress of So vereigns at Vienna. Mr. Canning, we are happy to hear, is likely to resume his seat in the Ca binet, but.whether as the immediate successor of the larneAtted Marquis is not yet. determined.-- No progress whatever has yet been made in the necessary arrangements in this respeCt ; and in deed, the state of afiiiction into which the dread= ful catastrophe has naturally thrown the Earl of Liverpool, has hitherto prevented his Lordship from bestowing that degree of attention upon the subject which f course it will now immediately receive. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received cast night the Paris Papers of Monday by exyress.—An article under the bead of Corfu, in the Constitutionnel, contains a Pro clamation addressed by 'the Greek - Minister of War to the Chiefs of the Western Army, and a Report of the principal events which have taken place in Thessaly. These documents will be read with pleasure by all who interest them es in the fate of the Greeks. Greece Proper seems now in a. fair way to be soon altogether cleared of the Turks . .. Thf.l . saly, the richest and most populous province, is in a • great. measure free. • Western Greece is naturally so strong, that if once .the Turks who are now there can be disposed of, it will be . Oillicult for the, enemy again to recover it.—We trust the time is •not far distant 'when we may have to announce the waving of Greek• flag. on the towers of Byzantium. Even in the province which is the seat of the Ottoman. power in Europe, the Greek _population is at least two to one to that of the Turks.--- 7 TheintelligenCe . from Madrid leads: us to entertain sanguine hopes of 5:26.1:1. A thoroughly . liberal Ministry, and the nomination to . the Provinces of men of talents and energy, devoted' to the Constitution, will soon work wonders. 'We are in possession of a variety of details respecting the recent events, part of whiCh We Shall lay before'onr readers on a future day.. [moitNxNa The march of European politics, ' as far as it reacheS us through' the foreign mails, presents nothing very striking. It is still repeated that the state of • Spain is the main object .of the ap proaching Congress ; but if the reports may be trusted, there is no likelihood of the ,interference of foreign armies in .the internal concerns of that Kingdom. England and Austria are stated to have already refused tlieir interference, and expressly withheld their sanction from the inter ference of any other - poW(:,r. The Emperor of Russia, who is .secure iuppulation of de mocracy ,by "so many degre'eS of latitude, and by the peculiar character of his uhjects is not likely to- set out un'aided crusade, in order to restOre'the - Mdhics; the Inquisition, and the Pope's.enormiputs'lkies of hard cash in Spain and France is as :little likely to adventure upon a war which would be more "fatal to French soldiers than that of Bthiaparte, and would, be sides, compromise the security of the Bourbons. The state . of Spain too is muchimprOved. The Palace has been purified of the obnoxious fa vourites ;—a new Ministry has been formed in the provinco the insurgent bands "cannot make head against theyegular troops ;—all the accounts of their numbers and successes are• so many fables ;—and in Madrid the Serviles give no other signs of life than the -throwing of a few stones, an mmpty bottle, and' a pair of old shoes! from the palace windows at the sconce of a Centinel. To complete the affair, it turned - out, after a formal investigation, signed and counter-signed by Excellencies,' that the assailants were a dress-maker, admitted into the apartments of one of the Princesses, and=a (henna I. . . [BRITISH PEI E”.] • The death of Lord Londonderry at this mo ment leaves the Ministry exceedingly wanting in, an active and efficient manager, 'in" the House,of Commons. This was a duty to, which the pe culiar qualities of the Noble Marquis eminently fitted him, and in looking through the: ranks of the Treasury we'cannot see any individual who deserves in this particular to he named as his successor. The ,Foreign Department has.happily ceased to be the most important branch of the public service, atid.the . daties of .that office are, in this time of general ,peace with the - world,' so simple, that any of , the Under-Secretaries would probably be .sufficiently qualified Lc) assume the port and bearing of Foreign Mi nister in managing , our relations with Foreign Courts. But the, ,manager in the House. .of Commons must be a kind of General Minister ; his mind must in some degree pervade every branch of the ;public service ; he must he well informed upon every topic of passinginterest ;'he must possess great facility and dexterity of ex pression, coolness of temper,,and calmness of un derstanding--above all, he must enjoy the confi dence of the House, with the reputation of moral dignity and consistency of character. Mr. Can ningis by many,degrees the ablest speaker on the ,Ministerial benches, and can command the; attention and respect of :any auditory in ithe empire,.but he wants the means of inspiring The House of Commons with confidence. in the purity of his views and the sincerity of his professions. Mr. Peel speaks well, and certainly possesses much of the moral dignity, to which we have alluded ; but his exertions always smell of the; lamp, and neither the character of his mind nor his manner of expression would suit him for the internal conDict which a manager must have to wage in conducting the business of the Govern ment in the House of Commons. Sir Charles Stuart would be wholly incompetent for such a situation.' It has, however, often been found in life, that 44 the situation will make the man," and that an individual qualified for office was never yet seriously wanted to undertake any occupation or employment whatever, [THE TIMES. Whoever succeeds Lord Londonderry at the Congress will have to speak, as he did, the lan guage of the Cabinet which deputes him. He may do so, indeed, with less unction than the Noble Marquis, not being so familiar with his business—he may not work so freely—he may show a little' nervous, when some special enor mity is proposed to him by his Continental Col leagues—like a juggler in his apprenticeship, while he passes the cards clumsily, he may, by accident, expose the nature of the trick; but all this is no just cause of alarm. Any check to the movements of a system intrinsi cally bad, any awkwardness by which it may be rendered less compact and perfect—even if such were to follow from the absence of one, out of a dozen or two of its trained supporters might yield some breathing time to its destined victims. But that the assumed consequence will follow, is very questionable. England has been so swept into the whirlpool of arbitrary councils, that the Holy Alliance may not have much to dread from any suspension of her resolves. Their dislike of the resistance offered throughout Eur Ope to certain practical applications of the Monarchical principle, may, by possibility, not expresi itself in notes more or less severe, in war like preparations more or less menacing, whether England send a nuncio to the Royal meeting or withhold one. The cause of Greece, indeed, we have reason to hope, will be left, if unaided, at least unmolested by her sister States of Chris tendom, The blockade of Turkey may be quashed, although it is a blockade borrowed strictly front the principles of English maritime jurisprudence ; but if the recall of the Greek l 'proclarnation on that subject be made the con dition of a real neutrality on the part of the Eu ropean powers, our fellow Christians may not finally have much reason to murmur at the result. A new proposition is, it seems, to be made with the consent, or more properly speakina at the desire, of the King of Naples—namely, that the troops of Austria may continue masters of his do minions for 3 years longer! Now if this measure be in conformity to the recognized principles of those who have settled Europe, we shall just ask where the application of such principles is to end ? If the Holy Alliance be true to its own doctrines, it must send one army to occupy Greece for the Ottomans, and a second to hold, on be half of Ferdinand VII., every foot of the Penin sula from Cadiz to Bayonne : but the war Of the French Revolution arose out of the obstinacy of Courts in trampling on the wishes of their sub jects ; and now with signal blindness, or con tempt for experience, the same self-destroying folly is repeated. [NEW TIMES.I As to the consequences which may be supposed likely to .follow from the death of the Marquis of Londonderry, we are of opinion that they have been over-rated. In the first moments of a loss, public or private, men are often disposed to look with more than reasonable alarm on the changes eihich it is calculated to produce. It has been lioneously thought that the existing system of dur policy, internal and external, depends upon the personal views of a few individuals. This is neither true as applied to Europe in general, nor as applied to England in particular. The' spirit of the age " is the real governing power, though not exactly in the sense in which that phrase is commonly employed. The spirit of the age, pro perly considered, depends on a just ,balance between antiquated errors and delusive novel ties. All sound Statesmen (and there are many such on the Continent, and more proportionally in England) are very nearly agreed upon the leading principles to be observed in maintain ing this balance. The chief practical error has been in leaning too much to the side of novelty ; in favouring revolutionary men and revolutionary principles, under a mistaken opinion, that they were more suitable than they really are to the spirit of the age. Experience, however, has shewn that those men and those principles could not maintain their ground, without hurrying us' back again into the vortex of Revolution, Which all wise men are deter mined to resist, at least in Europe ; for Ame rica is very differently situated in this respect. To the natural weakness of the revolutionary prin ciple is tobe attributed the successive fall of such men as Fouche, Talleyrand, and Decase ; the two former of whom indeed were •so destitute Of moral character that it was a disgrace to all the Allied Powers to have raised (as they did raise them) to the Ministry in France. If there were the least 'apprehension that the future successor of Lord Londonderry (whoever he may be) would introduce into. our Cabinet a policy more favour able to the revolutionary systems of the present day, we should indeed entertain serious alarm for the public welfare. If, for instance, he should give way to the idle trash and nonsense that has been talked against the Alien Bill ; or should afford any countenance to the Neapolitan traitors ; or should assist the Spanish Liberales in the civil war which they are carrying on for the estal.lishment of a Republic, we should say that the nomination of such a man, to succeed ; Lord 'Londonderry, would be a signal misfortune, not only to this country, but tolhe civilised world. We entertain,however, no such apprehension ; we think that the Cabinet Will be reconstructed on the same principles on which it has long stood; and when we reflect that the Kingdom possesses such -finished statesmen as Lord Grenville, Lord Wellesley, and Mr. Canning, not to mention many others. of inferior note, we cannot think that, much difficulty will occur in giving the Marquis of Londonderry a worthy successor. FOR THE SUN. LETTER XX. MR. EDITOR,-The appointment, in January, 1795, of the Earl Fitzvvilliam to the Govern ment of Ireland, raised the hopes of thelloman Catholics to the highest pinnacle, and the sud den recall of that Nobleman, in the March fol lowing, to use the beautiful and appropriate me taphor of a great patriot and orator of the day, " dashed the cup of expectation from the lips of all the Catholics in Ireland." So poignant, in deed, bad been their disappointment, that a Popish mob, propelled by some secret advisers, in the same manner as " the hereditary bonds men" of the City of Dublin were instigated on the evening of the 12th of this month (Jaly), pursued the carriage of the late Earl of Clare, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, as be was returning to his house in Ely-place, from the Council Chamber, after the Earl, now Marquis, of Cam den had been sworn into office ; and his Lord ship would have met a similar fate to that of the humane Lord Kilwarden in 1803, had it not been for the adroitness of his coachman who instead of proceeding to his Lord's mansion, drove with rapidity into the coach-yard, situated in another street, the gates of which were imme diately closed against the pursuers; and by this means his Lordship's life was saved ; for the great body of the mob had gpne by different di rections to Ely-place, conceiving themselves sure of their victim. It would appear, from the late address of the Roman Catholics of the County of Clare, as ad mitted by the organ of Popery, in his audacious proclamation of the 11th of the present month, that the hopes of the Roman Catholics of Ire land had again been wound up to the highest pitch by the appointment of the present Viceroy; but the few emphatic words—" I came to ad minister the laws, and not to alter them," in his Excellency's answer to that address, once more ".dashed the cup of expectation from the lips of all the Catholics in Ireland," which they had, in imagination, seen filled with that all-powerful, all-healing draught, ycleped 44 Emancipation," little understood, and difficult to be defined, un less indeed it means Revolution and Separation. As the Barometer of Catholic hopes fell, in consequence of the dignified and constitutional answer of the Viceroy, so that of Mr. O'Con nell's arrogance and audacity rose to the height, for I believe a composition at once so insolent and replete with falsehood, never came from the pen of man, since the art of writing was invent ed ; and it gives a presage of what Protestants may expect, should Popery ever have rule in this country. After arraigning the conduct of the King's Lieutenant, for 6 ' administering the Laws, not altering them," according to Popish wishes, and for having recommended the adoption of a measure, to which, as appears from his Excel lency's dispatch of the Ist of, May, the country is indebted for " the external appearances of order and tranquillity in a considerable de gree ;" and " that the mischief now allayed, would break out, perhaps with additional malig nity, if the Insurrection Act should be suffered to expire so early as the Ist of August, he calls upon the Viceroy to prevent the intended annual ceremony on the following day,offering to brini to his Excellency's aid, in that constitutional service, a Popish posse comitatus ; in other words, he calls upon a Marquis Wellesley to play the part of a Tyrconnell ; and he pledges his stuff gown and his stuff character, to " prove before any Court, or to any impartial Jury, that the usual annual exhibition on the 12th of July is illegal." Be fore a Jeffreys or a Nugent, and to a packed Jury from D'Arcy's tavern or the Dublin Li brary, I have no doubt he might redeem his pledges : but, I am convinced, not before any one of the eleven constitutional Judges, who re flect honour on the seat of Justice, nor to a Jury composed of honest intelligent men. But as this Counsel, learned in law, pledges himself to prove that the annual processions, and other marks of respect to the memory of William ILI., are illegal, will he presume to say, that all the Viceroys, from the period the statue had been erected to the Duke of Bedford in 1806, were guilty of a breach of the law, in going in state round the statue, the military lining the streets, and firing a feu-de-joie, on the 4th No vember ? Or that the House of Commons in 1710, and Lord Wharton and the Privy Council, vio lated the law,—the first, in addressing his Ex cellency,—the last, in issuing a proclamation, to discover the Popish ruffians who had mutilated and abused the statue? Or, that the Judge and Jury, who tried those ruffians, were guilty of a violation of the law, in sentencing them to pay a fine each of 100/. Or, that our present most graci ous Sovereign has acted illegally in ordering the following Thanksgiving to be read in all Cathe drals, Churches, lipid Collegiate Chapels on the sth day of November, in which due honour, though secondarily, is paid to the memory of our Deliverer? " Accept, most gracious God, of our " unfeigned thanks for filling our hearts again 44 with joy and gladness,after the time that thou " hast afflicted us, and putting a new song in " our mouths, by bringing his Majesty, King " William, upon this day, for the deliverance of " our Church and- Nation from POPISH TYR ANN " and ARBITRARY POWER. We adore the wisdom " and justice of thy Providence, which so timely " interposed in our extreme danger, and disap " pointed all the designs of our enemies. We " beseech thee, give us such a lively and lasting " sense of what thou didst then, and bast since " that time done for us, that we may not now grow " secure and careless in our obedience, by pre " suming upon thy great and undeserved good " ness ; hut that it may lead us to repentance, diligent and zealous in " and move us ,to be more " all the duties of our Religion, wiliest) thou bast "in a marvellous manner preserVed to us. Let " truth and justice, brotherly kindness and cha " rity, devotion and piety, concord and unity, 64 with all other virtues, so flourish among us, " that they may be the stability of our times, and " make THIS CHURCH a praise in earth. All 66 which we humbly beg for the sake of our ". blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen." IN ill he also set up hi s own ipse , dixii in opposi tion to " the high legal opinion," which it appears from what fell from a Noble Earl in the House of Lords, on the evening of the 19th of this month, the Irish Government had taken, when " the question was found to be one of great de licacy :" but that, 64 if any person who wished to prevent the proceedings had come forward and sworn that something was contemplated which was likely to lead to a breach of the pub lic peace, then the Government might have in terfered ;" and his Lordship added, " there had been great provocation, which led to the transac tion :" on which side, I leave the reader to judge. That " a breach of the public peace was contem plated," on the part of the Papists, and not on that of the Protestants, is manifest from the means used by certain demagogues to rouse all the maligant passions of the ignorant besotted multitude, previous to the 12th of July, by pub lications, inflammatory, insolent, and false ; and it is equally obvious that the same persons ex erted their influence and best endeavours, on the evening of that day, to make good their own pre dictions, in the same manner that certain Mani• festoes, or Proclamations, had been published, for the purpose of bringing to maturity " a bloody insurrection then on the eve of. brtaking out." Had they been aware that an oath would have served their purpose, they would have been most ready to take it ; and they might have taken it in true jesuitical sincerity, as they them selves meditated " a breach of the public peace," for the purpose of throwing odium upon what all well-affected sincere Protestants value so highly, the Memory of King William 111., the Deliverer, under Divine Providence, of this country from " Popish Tyranny and Arbitrary Power," and the Founder of our present admirable Constitu tion. Among the numerous and strange anomalies in the character of Popery, It is not the least re parkable that its modern votaries affect to ad- mire our present Constitution so much, that they are indefatigable in their exertions to, as they allege, be admitted to a full participation of it, equally with Protestants ; though I think their real views are veri different from their ostensive ones : yet the declarations of many, and the actions of the great body of their com munion, evince the most inveterate and implaca ble hatred of the Revolution, which established that Constitution.; and even to the name of " God's' instrument in effecting it :" so that the annual commemoration of the battle of the Boyne, or any other mark of respect to the memory of King William, are considered as insults to Ro man Catholics ; and are used by Demagogues as incentives to rouse the rabble to acts of vio lence, for the purpose of promoting their own diabolical schemes. Were they sincere in their professions of admiration of that Constitution, under which they enjoy as perfect security of property, as free an exercise of their religion, and every species of liberty to as full an extent as Protestants, under which they enjoy liberty even to licentiousness, as every day proves, and what would not be tolerated in any other country, as had lately been admitted by the Professors of the Roman Catholic College at Maynooth—l repeat, that, were they sincere in their profes sions of admiration of our enviable Constitution, they would join in every' mark of respect and gratitude " to the memory of King William, instead of instigating, by inflammatory publi cations and speeches, and every other means in their power, the lower classes of their commu nion, first to despise, and then to violate the Laws. Were proof wanting, this conduct alone would furnish incontrovertible testimony, that Popery is " server eadem'" 4 unchangeable and appli-` cable to all times ;" and that Roman Catholics in 1822 are actuated by the same spirit of bi gotry and intolerance, the same thirst of ty ranny and arbitrary power, that characterized their ancestors, or predecess6rs, in 1641, and at the period of the Revolution. There is now, 'indeed, no Popish Pretender to the So vereignty of Ireland, at least that I have heard of; if there were, there can be no doubt on which side certain Demagogues and their parti zans would enrol themselves : but as that is not the case, all their actions point-at separation; and it matters not if their intention be, as in 1641 , "to deprive our Sovereign Lord of this his an cient and rightful Crown and Sovereignty of this Kingdom," whether their object be to place a Popish Prince upon the Throne, or to erect Ire land into a Popish and independent Republic. The same majority in the Commons House of Parliament, that passed two Popery Bills subver sive of the Constitution, if not, happily for the best interests of the Empire, rejected in the House of Lords, may, in its wisdom, and in the. modern spirit of conciliation, enact a Law, forbidding Protestants to meet on the nth of July, in any number exceeding " FIVE," as occurred in Ireland during the reign of Popery or to drink " The .Glorious Memory :"—they may even order the obnoxious Statue of William 111., a to give place to that of late great Patriot, .or of a modern agitator :—they may, in con formity with the sentiments of a certain enlight ened Legislator---" that that Government is not worth preserving which cannot exist without the aid of Religion," and in opposition to the opi nion of all able Statesmen and good men—" that in' every civilized Country there must be a Reli gion connected with the State, and maintained by it against all attacks and encroachments ;" they may, I say, invade ,the unalienable property of our national Church, whose " rights and privi leges" every Sovereign at his Coronation swears to " preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy."— All this they may do ; and they may wound every honest, every Protestant feeling throughout the Empire, in the theoretical expectation of coNcr- LIATIONI : but never will they conciliate the vota ries of Popery in Ireland, so, long as a vestige shall remain of our present Constitution—so long as a Protestant Bible or - a Protestant Church shall be left iu the Island—so long as a Pro testant shall continue in it, to rend the one, and offer his adoration in the other :—in a word, no thing will satisfy or conciliate Roman Catholics, unless Ireland shall become exclusively a Popish Country, independent of Great Britain. In .my next, which I expect will close the pre sent . series Of- letters, I shall submit to your readers a recent and notable instance of Popish .11, bigotry, Popish intolerauce, and Popish in . , v Puce. In the mean time, I think I.Cannot C OD` dude this letter in a more appropriate and sui t• able manner, than by giving a short though veil just remark of your own, in your Paper of the 22d of last November:-" When Mahoned tanism shall have acquired celebrity by the 44 practical benevOlence of its professors, its " temporal authority over Christians may be " endured without a groan ; and when } W e he 44 shall have become as distinguished as t l " Protestant Church of England, for the mil dness " and moderation of its character', Protestants " may safely admit Papists to a full particiP ly " tion with themselves in the exercise of tern: " poral power. But when these two chalig e i " shall have arrived, the religions of Mah al:ne "'and of the Church of Rome must, as resPe et, " their present character and effects, ha ve cease d " to exist amongst mankind."
