THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY ON ENGLISH
PARTIES AND IRISH POLITICS.

The following remarkable letter from Lord An,h.
sey is from a forthcoming publication, the " %nom
of Lord Cloneurry :"

LORD ANGLESEY TO LORD CLONCURRT.

Bowe, January 28, 1815.
My dear Cloncnrry,—l have received your letter of
the 4th. I write upon large paper, for I feet ae it I
had a good deal to say to yon; but there is, in truth,
too much to any, and I do not know how to b gin, tad
to go on. I do not quite see into the date of Whirs, hit
it appears to me that,take what view you will of thee,
they are frightful. Can the Peel and Wellington
government stand ? lam sure it ought not ; and if
' there be common honesty and fair dealing in matt
will not. But can any one count upon honesty tied
fair dealing in these days ? I think not. I strongly
suspect what are called the moderate whip. I hare
no faith in them. I believe Mat in general they are
frightened, and only show liberalism as long as the
tide runs that way, and as it turns (if turn it dv
they will float back with it. Neither have I any
faith in the ultra-tories. I suspect that a great
part of them, with a view to office, or, at
all events, to retaining in office men rbs,
upon the whole, they like better, and be.
lieve themselves tribe safer in the hands of they the
honest liberals ; that with a view to presets.* it
power, I say, the present leaders, they will tails
all their principles, and eat all their words, and wee
through thick and thin for reform—aye, era
for church reform. Here, then, if I be right,
will be a tolerable equipoise of baseness, ad
thus Peel and Wellington will continue to hold the
reins, and, with a bad grace, give all the reforms thu
were in contemplation by the last government, and
which, if my voice had been attended to, would, u
far as the Irish church is concerned, have been set
smooth three years ago. But instead of attending to
me, they took the advice of Stanley, and brought
forth that veritable bill of his for the recovery
of tithes, which I at once pronounced would be a
total, and, eels •, a very expensive failure, and voila
cause much clerical blood to flow ; and so it happened,
and the protestant clergy have been bleeding and
starving ever since. But why do I allow myself to
write oa such subjects? lam sure I have no mance.
anent to take any part whatever in public affairs. Yes,
with your usual kindness and partiality, express a
wish that I should, in the event of a change, agile
return to Ireland, or else go to the Horse Guards.
But of what use could I be in either situation? It
has been my fate to be unkindly and ungenerously
treated both by friends and foss, and I do not see why
I should again allow myself to be made unhappy by
either. The truth is, I have not the capacity far
acting with men who have recourse to trek and
duplicity. I have independent thoughts; and if I
go, I must go my own way. I could not
consent to allow Ireland to be governed in
Downing-street, and therefore I did not suit my eer
ployer and employersgenerally. Mine has been s
I cumoue fate. Twice have been recalled from Ires•
land foe vehemently pressing measures which were
obstinately resisted whilst I was in power, but which
were adopted as soon as my back was turned. I
forced catholic emancipation upon Wellington and
Peel, and I was recalled, and recalled, too, with
marked insult ; but they immediately carried the
measure. Under another government I again tried
my band. I urged the necessity of taking the whole
of the ecclesiastical funds into the hands of the state.
By it the country would have been enriched ; the
clergy would have been amply paid ; there would
Save been no collision between tithe payer and tithe
merino.. All would have received their just dues—
the catholic clergy might have been paid, and there
would have been a surplus for the benefit of the state.
Bat even that would not have been alienated from
the church. The surplus would simply have bees
held in trust for it, and if hereafter the protested'
faith had spread, and more help fur its souls had been
required, there would have been the fund from
whence to draw the required aid; well, my a.
leagues did not dare venture upon the measure,
and so I was recalled,. because Stanley was opposed
to it. Yet they still attempted by driblets to
do something! This eomethicgileased nobody, and
eras rejected by the Lords. Then came alto
ther
set of men. These, during the recess, did mat V
their minds to something very extensive; but in that
time they are ousted, and now Peel and Wellington,
if I am not greatly mistaken, will bring forward ns
sweeping a scheme as that proposed by me (with the
able assistance of my worthy assistants who, in fact,
had the whole merit of it, and particularly Blake),
• with this only difference, that whereas I would, for ti
time at least, have given all the surplus frost the
'bishop,/ lands, &c., for the benefit of the state, W.
and P. will insist upon its being need for ecclesiastical
