IRISH CATHOLICS. OBSERVATIONS ON OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE SWORN , BY THEM. (Concluded . from oier Paper of Saturday.) It I►as teen truly observed, that the reinstate- menu of the Pope bas produced ' a re-action in most of the•Hon►isl► States in-Europe, by elicit ing in his votaries that spirit of intolerance, and that fanatical rancour towards every other deno- Initiation of Caristivins e • which are peculiar to -popery - . The following incidents afford movies"- . tioeable .proofs of this, The Pope no sooner . recovered his territories e than he expelled from them Protestants. of every description; and V.I. the .complete accomplishment. of it, he re-esta blished the Ingeisition. He restored the Older of the Jesuits, us stated before. Ferdinand VII. did the like in .his dominions, by a decree dated the2lst of July 1814, soon at - ter his restoration, in which be declared, that he. would not federate atiy religion hot - the Moorish ; .for which the Pope thanked hint, and assured him that it would tend to the salvation of ,Iris soul ; ^ Ferdinand, who sear missionaries through the country, to root out and expel any vestitses of that baneful heresy with which .our brave .heroes might have infected it. The Belgian Bishops . protested against the excellent Constitution framed for the Neelierlands,- because it allowed religious tolera tion, which they d dared, to be incompatihle with the principlesof their/to/9 religion. The sanguinary. : and- 110°1e - rata spirit of popery has been more terrific in Irelamd since the peace than (hieing the war ; though its votaties cannot hope fur the aid of the Frenrh, which they solicited during the war, and of which. they were in constant expec-. tation; . but above all, the persecution of Pro--' testants -in the boutb ot France ; the _perpetra tors of those .sanguinary cruelties, those who se esetly encourage and approee of them, and as a matter of course, all,Romanists (1) endeavour to palliate their turpitude., by asserting' that they were levelled against Boothipartists only, and that religious fanaticism was in no %vise concern s ed-in them.; but the reader must he convincer) of the contrary by the following statements. In my first letter, I proved drat the .extirpation oft; heretics is rejoined as a religious duty byvarious canons of the Runtish Church, of which I gave copious extracts, and that the Pope and his clergy are bound by 04113 to enforce them in every state ; and as their practical effects have been Aseiefully experienced trot only in :trope, burin Asia and . America, his Holiness may truly say, "` Qum regio in terris, nostsi non picots 'Acids." Under the infloence of these principles, Pope Innocent 111., presiding in the 4111 Lateran Council, A.D. 1215, ordered a crusade, in which matiy sove reign Princes were obliged to join through fear, to extirpate the Albigenses., who . were very nu merous, inhabited the South of France, and were Subjects of Raymood, Count of Thoulousc. Their only clime was, that they professed pure Chris;i anity, and were free from the errors of the }lowish Church (2), 'which drew on them the veogeatice ot that sanguinary Pontiff, who had a . million of them destroyed as heretics, by teas srcres, tortures, bornitigs,"aud other violent deaths, and their sovereign, Ravnyind, dethroned, because instead of persecuting them, in obeeietice to the Pope's mandates, he gave them that protec tion which they merited as loyal and peaceable subjects. Tire reader will find a foil account of this neligious butchery in the general history of Laugordoc, in Spoodanns, the popish annalist, who praised it. in Mezeray, Thuanus, and Mu &brim. Lest the sanguinary spirit Which occas slotted - this dreadful persecution should in the smallest degree abate, the Romish clergy have m a d e their flocks celebrate the anniversary of it, by feasts and processions in most of the towns where it took place ; which Voltaire coodemns, Wilt just severity, in his essay on tOlera fion. In . short, since the reign of Francis 1., to the eve ot the French Revolution, the Government, instigated by the Clergy. never ceased to persecote the Protestants in France, and the - multitude, iespired with fanatical fury against them, by the lessons which they received from their ghostly advisers in the confession box (3), were always willing instruments on such occasions. For a minute and circuntstatithil ac count of these religious persecutions, I shall refer tire reader to the work of t lie celebrated Claude, a,- French minister, intituled, "The; .Lameotation of the Protestants cruelly oppressed in France ;" and to another work, intituled " Popery always the same, exemplified in an authentic Account now parrying on against the Protestants in the South of France," printed and sold by B. Dodd, near Stationers' Hall, London, 1746, 12mo. • Th,:Bssembly of French Bishops, in 1765, thus Cmpreec thetOSEIVVS to I/0 6 AS " It is in vain Ism your Majest y has forbidden the exercise of .any oC,er religion in your- dominions than .th a t of the holy Boman Apostolic. In con .tempt 01 . these taws, .the Protestants dare to bold congregational meet in gs." Their only crime was, that of worshipping in woods or . retired places ; for they dared not to build a pl f i c e of worship. Their Bishops prescribe ,the followine reiaedy for this crying evil. "If be law which revoked the Edict of • Nautz, if your N'iniesty's declaration of 1754 had been . exactly and rigorously executed, we are bold to .ev, there would not be at this day' One single ,Protestaot in France," (4) ' Because the sangui n Ivy spirit which had cause►l. dreadful persecutions iu T.oois XlV.'s reign had abated, and the wounds which they had inflicted on the country began to "vep,l, the indignation of these pious . Bishops Was 'excited ; and nothing could satisfy them, but the (Ia ties of persecution. These pious Prtlate• tori - ller state in their remonstrance to the We shall not further press on your Ma-, mdice the fatal effects which will neces sto lv result to. France from a toleration which :oust produce such tatal consequences. It is'not On!) , 1 0 our religion and to the church that your niiesty owes protection—yon owe it to yourself. t If the noyal'Authatity be not speedily exe 7 used, to p u t a stop to the enterprizes of heretics and the progress of impiety, the time to remedy the tsil be , passed. May this our humble re- 0101i31 r. ?ICC rod tlfe IttS 1, 11111 t your L%1:111,, ! nay restore their wonted ttgour io the !awS, aod its predominant splendour tot he Catholic church." Such were the avowed sentiments of the French elates in the year 1765, and sudk are i.he avowed ~ pinions of the Bel g ian Bishops in 1815. Dr. Dromgoole, in his lotions, speech, delivered in the Catholic Board or Committee, the. Bth of Decem ber. 1813, positively declared that the Irish Roman Catholic , profess the same principles. His speech received fCte .warm and unanimous approbation, not only of that, assembly. but of all the provin- Catholic. Committees in Ireland ; and yet, we are informed, that the Irish 100 man Catholics mean again to petition P oliament to lie put on the same footing with Protestants. To con vioce the reader that the persecution of Pro testants continued under the reign of Louis XVI. 1 shad refer him to the " Memoires Historignes et Politiques de Louis 5,V1. par Saidavit." The following well authenticated incidetit will prove that it continued even to the eve of the French Revolution, In the towns of Toulon. Thoulouse, and Mount atiban, 'and in the country contiguous to them, Protestants are very numerous. In the year 1 . 791, the Roman Catholics of these towns, instigated by their Priests, published an inflammatory ad dress against their Protestant fellow - subjects, at that pious season when tiley c . elehrated the mas sacre of the Albigenses. •• On the 18t1i of April 1791, a large patty of these fanatics assembled in the great HAL a the Augustills, at Montauban, and adjourned them to the house of a Mr. Des harry, the Apostle of the Crusade. The Protest ants, without exception, served in the National Guards, and were strenuous in the cause . ot•li berry. Norksithstauding which, this mob of bi gots spewed a sanguinary spirit toward• them, and a design to exttrpate them as infidels and he retics. 'They pursued a troop of dragoons, con sisting mostly of. ryotestants, into the guard house, where they cOatinued a welrdirected fire on them. In vain they hung oat a white fla_g a token that they implored clemency-; for fie. of them were killed in the act of submission ; and the whole of them would have been butchered, but that the. regiment of Languedoc art ived in time for their 'chef, and conducted them, covered with blood and wounds, to the •cominon while the enraged and fanatic multitude brnially asked for their heads. At Nism-s, where Pro'es tours formed.one-fourth of the point a tun, ninny of -them were - massacred ; and on the election of the illunicipality; the Priests were assiduously employed in swearing. the people not to vote for Protestants,_ whom they marked by the-appella, , tioti of, Blacks. r(6) It is singular that this san guinary spirit should app ar in the Priests and their flocks at that time, as there were five Corn - MiS.d.liers actually employed in the country, by the • Convention, in taking measnres for the coa tiscation of the property of the- rgy, and the tonal subversion of their order.—Annual Regis•- ter of 1791, p. 84. • in the month of September 1815, on:tire - eve of the election of the Chamber of .13-pities, 42 Protestants were hatchet e:1 at Nismi•S, - lor the pm pose of der errin,; the electors Iron) nominating as candiur.:es any person of that persuasion. In the niglitsof the .IGth and I7th.of October, they had formed a plan of a general Massacre, and had even begun to carry it into execution. CRANMER. (1) A numerous body of English Roman (; : :itholicS as sembled at Durban) a short time since, and iit'sisted that this persecution could not flow from religious prlncipies, and that, it was directed against tinonaparlisls only. (2) This has been unquestionably -proved, and that they enjoyed pure Christionity frouLthe time of the Apostles, in a learned work, en-titled, " Remarks on the Ecclesiastical' History of the Albigenses," printed in London, U 192, 4to. Their religious creed framed in the year 1200, and published . by Molinaus, in his Monarchia Francorum, evinces this be yond contradiction. The Albigenses presented a copy of it to Francis 1. which is to be found in that excellent work the Antijacobin Review, vol. 28, p. 442. (3) I have already•proted that a Popish Priest is bound by oath to infuse into his flock sanguinary doctrines against all those who arc not within the pale of their Church. (4)' Here their total extirpation is recommended by the Clergy. (5) Charles IX. and Lonis XIV. were instigated by the Clergy to persecute the ProtestantS. Henry. tIL and Henry V. were murdered byl'apal Mandates, because they refused to do so. (6) In all the elections since the Irish Papists obtained the elective franchise, the Popish Priests have stic“ved an in temperate zeal to promote . the interest of such candidates as proniised to support Catholic Emancipation in Parliament. SCALE OF LITERARY MEIUT.—We are told of a *arned - gentleman, %rho, in his anxiety to be esteemed a Alleeenas of literature, made it a prac tice to entcrtain all the writers of the . day at.his table. This mode of patronage was not unplea sant to the objects of it. In order, howeyer, to. pretent all unp!easantnes., the •patron judged it proper to arrange his vests according to eti quette ; he therefore gave the highest piNee to those who had written a folio, after these came the quarto authors, the octavo, &c. This may be the reason why some authors are so anxious to sport their quartos and broad margins, when twelves or eighteens would contain all they pro duce worth reading. - EXCESSIVE CRUELTY To A IIORSE.-Thomas Sutton, alias Old Patch, was charged at Marl borough -street Oftice, by his master, Mr. Gates, a backneymau, in Cumberland-mews, with cruel-, ty to a horse, and which ended in the death of the animal. It appeared by the testimony adduced, that the prisoner went with a fare to pighgate on Sunday morning, and on his return, accom= panied by another sort of coachman upon the :box, he galloped the horses down Highgate-hill, when one of them fell, and the wheel of the coach dislocated the hoof joint, so that the hoof only hung by a sinew, The animal was tied: hind the coach and flogged along upon three legs,. whilst the other tlroe the single horse in. the. coach to a farrier's, at Kentish-town, who after wards killed the lame hOrse, at the request of the owner. The prisoner absconded, and his COJTI- paninn went to apprise Mr. Giktes or I ..hat had 11111111ened. The Magistrate j'egrettvti that the Act of Parliament .which tecognized this offence did not empower him to inflict on the prisoner a more severe punishment. The offender was sen; tericed to one month's imprisonment its 131 ide well, and to be kept to bald labour. Fitt ),1'W.5.1 LS AND R EGLI LAT' ONS RI4LAtIVE TO THE ROYAL NAVY. [Continuedfrom our Paper of Saturday.] The arrangements respecting warrant and petty officers we shall state distinctly in subsequent sections of this memorial. The rest of this section relates to the drawing of bills for 111. This section, after stating the inconsistencies in the existing rates of pay for towtswains, gunners, carpenters, &c. provses the following regulations : Ist..The pay and superannuation of gunners, boatswains, and carpenters, shall be regulated by the saute 21. The scale of sea and ordinary pay shall, be as firllows, its the several rates : ltate - Ist Rd 3d . 4th sth 6th et infra. Sea - ',C 100 90 80 70 65 .GO Ordinary Z 35 75 65 55 50 45 3d. The above pay is to be personal and net, and no de duction or compensations are to be made.. 4th. No wars - ant officer shall lie appointed to a fifth rate, Who shall not have served two years either in a sixfli rate or sloop in commission ; nor to a fourth rate, who shall not have served two-years in a fifth rate_in commission ; nor to a third, rate, who shall not have served one year in a fourth rate iu . coMmission, o r thr ee y ear s i n a f our th or lith rate in commis sion; nor to a second rate, • who ahall not have. served two years, in a third.rate in commission ; nor to a first rate, who shall not have served three years in a second or third rate in commission. But as in times of peace it may not lie pos sible for officers to serve the .required time in commission, we submit, that in cases of vacancy. when there happens to be •no man who has served the requisite time for an appoint ment, it may be given to the person who imiy be, in our opi nion, in other respects the best qualified for :and entitled/to the situation. - sth. In the event of any warrant officer being put out o his ship, by her being lost, broken up, or, otherwise, he shall he placed as superunii,erary in one of his Majesty's ships in ordinary of .he same rate, tint ii we may have au opportu nity of giving him anotber avpointotent.

The rates of stye, an nuation of Avarrant officers shall be according to the following scale, fornied on a rovisider,ithin• of the total length of I erviee as warrant °Meer, with.the length of service in commission : Total Service.

Officers whose length of service may happen not to fan exactly under any .of the preceding ttuniber,i, shall be pen sioned ac s , rceably,to the rate which nifty come nearest to their length of service• Bth. Officers baying a shorter period of service . than the lowest of the foregoing, shall receive either the pension to whiCh their services would entitle them from Greenwich Hos vital-, or suefrother sum, not exceeding ,301. per:annum, as we, on a view of the individual case, may appoint. 9tb. itio warrant officer r' shall reckon as service, either fo promotion or superannuation, any time for which be shall not have a certificate of good conduct from the captains or commanderi of the ships in which he may have Served; and if time certificate should nut state the good and meritorious conduct of the officer for time specified period, such time is to be disalloWed him ; but if the warrant officer _thinks he has any reason to complain thereof, he may address his complaint to onC,Secretary, for our inquiry anti final decision; and in we.submit that we he authorized to allow the time or not, as we may judge proper. If your-Boyal Highness shall be graciously pleased to sanc tion the foregoing propositions on this branch of the subject,_ we shall he. enabled to. superannuate several hundreds of wore-out and disabled officers, who are at present on the or dinary, and of whom - we cannot clear the list (which ought' to be ettective)with justice and hmivanity to these-olti servants of the public, while the present partial and inadequate rates of superaminatiou exist; hut we have farther the satisfaction of stating to your Royal Highness, that this benefit to the naval service will not create any additional - expence to the country;'as the. saving of the cost now incurred for .viet ual bog; and keeping in full pay so large a number of inefficient persons, will not i only compensate the whole additioimal pence of the arrangement relative to warrant officers, which _we thus htimbly submit to. your Royal Highoess's• gracious consideration, hut will even diminish considerably the expenee which, on the peace establishment, may arise from the other propositions which we Irate submitted. IV. We now beg leave humbly to. represent to your Royal Highness, that having bad: under consideration the number: afar ratings of the petty 'officers of his Majesty's fleet, we have found that there are 'several useful duties for which no proper ratings a.e . provided ; while, on the other hand, several ratings are preserved in time table which have become obso lete, and which have no duties now attached, to them, and Which are now, we hare reason to think, given tcr men whom the several captains think deserving of higher pay, and fur whom they have no appropriate ratings. With a view, therefore, of remedying these irregularities, and of giving fair encouragement to that class of men, the petty officers, we humbly:submit that your Royal Highness may he plensed.to sanction time establishment of Atte !..01) , )wi additional catings, the effective , duties of . whichiare now per foriOed without any corresponding rating Admiral's Coxswain, ' Gunner's Yeoman, Coxswain of the Launch, ' Carpenter's Yeomarb ------ of the Pinnace, Captain's Steward, Captain of the Hold, , Yeoman of the Signals, J Ward or Gun-rooM Steward, Cooper's Mate, Couk, Crew, Ship's Tailw. Two of these ratings have been already estPtblished by Order in council, but we have nevertheless included thew in the above list, becausethev are not imthe general tableof ratings, and in order to lay before your Royal Highness, at one view, the N 4 hole of this part of the subject : •sk nd we farther submit to your Royal liighness,to be pleased to sanction the abOlition of the 'following obsolete se uune-• cessary ratings: Yeoman Of the Powder-room, I of the Sheets, Coxswain's Mates, Swabbers, Ordinary Trumpeter, Shifter, Gunner's Tailor.• Quarter-Master's Mates, Trumpeters, Gun-smiths, Midshipmati Ordinar7, The expence to he.occasioneel by the establishment of 'the former ratings will, after deducting that of the ratings pro posed to be abolished, be very inconsiderable, namely, 31. 2s. per mcnsem in a first rate, and leSs in proportion in the others ; being in the whole, on one ship of each class in the Royal Navy, only 121. 7s. per mensem. We be leave farther to state, that as the carpenters and -carpenters' mates and'carpenters' crews find their own tools, and arealone, of all the classes in the ship; liable to this species of extra expence; and as we hare, by late regulations, given much more activity and• employment to this description of persons,• to the great benefit of - the service, we propose to allow to each person of these classes 7s. per mensem, in ad dition to their pay, to supply themselves with tools; this al lowance being, in fact, already, though partially, made. [To be continued.) During th`e very heavy thunder-storm On Wed nesday se'nnight, a shepherd of AJULTON LAM BARD, Esq. got into a small shed on Sevenoaks Comnon, followed by his dog, for - shelter, where they were joined by a person who came there for shelter also : and in the comse..of the storm the shepherd began to relate the circumstance of his own brother having been killed by lightning about 30 years ago, when the narrator of the melan choly event received A shock which instantly de prived him - of life ; his dog was also killed by his side ; his companion received a shock, - but was merely stunned. The watch of the deceased- was melted in his fob, the steel chain shivered to pieces, and the glass shattered into a sort of sand. The hangman fo'r the county of Hants was found dead in his bed, at the Hyde in Winchester, last week. MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD THIS WEEK.
