shedding of Spanish blood ;" and their account
deserves a preference, because it is confirmed, in
substance, by the proceedings in the Cortes.
There has been as yet no business of a public
nature in the Chamber of Deputies. Saturday's
Sitting was devoted solely to the election of offi-
cers. M. Itavez is again nominated by the King
to the Presidency.

We understand that there were a great many
Watch and Clock Makers in the Gallery of the
House of Commons last night, anxious to witness
the sort of reception their Petition would ex-
perience. It gives us much pleasure to perceive
that this body of British manufacturers is aroused.
We wish that the example were followed by all
other manufacturers ; and hope that Mr. Wal-

lace's 13111 will be visited in the same way as
Mr. Scarlett's, .namely, that it will be over-
whelmed with Petitions. We recommend a
General Meeting of the Booksellers of the
Metropolis,, to take into consideration the
very serious eVils which are likely to re-
sult from. Mr. Wallace's Warehousing
Were the manufacturers of this Bill aware of the
effect whichit would produce on the exportation

not have attempted such an ill-judged measure.—

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Mr. Western last night, in the House of
Commons, in pursuance of 'notice which he had
given some time back, brought forward his
motion for a Committee to inquire into the
effects of the Act of the 59th George 111. cap.
49 (Mr. I*l's Bill for regulating the return to
cash payments), on the agriculture, manufac-
tures; and commerce ,of the United Kingdom,
and the general condition of the different classes
of society therein. The drift of this motion
must be a ..resumption of the paper system,
no doubt to a limited extent and under certain
modifications. -:.Unfriendly to the paper sys-
tem, we necessarily approved Mr. Peel's Bill.
The good which it has attempted to achieve
has been purchased by great sacrifices, and
the question is now, whether in this state of,
things the 'object is to be abandoned,. and all
these sacrifices are to be thrown away. Under
these circumstances, perseverance in the present
.system appears to be the. safest. and manliest
course.. The country may ex.oaini with Macbeth,
hut in a better cause----

Stept in so far, that should I wade no More,
• . Returning were as. tedious as go o'er:"
Mr. Huskisson, speaking of course the sentiments
.of the -Government, was not satisfied with.tnerely
giving the motion a simple negative, but, with a
view to restore permanent tranquillity to the
public mind on this delicate-question, proposed
'that. -the. House should adopt the Resolution of
1696, namely, " That this house will not alter
the standard of gold, or silver either in fineness,
Weight, or denomination."—Lord- A. Hamilton
spoke in favour of the original motion ; and as.
several Members seemed desirous to deliver their
opinions, it was finally deemed expedient to ad-
journ-the debate to this day.

• [MORNING POST.] I
In the House of Commons last. night,. Mr.
Western brought forward his motion on the sub-
ject of the' Currency, and in the sPeech with-
which he introduced it he ascribed the present
distress complained of in the Agricultural Dis-
tricts to the Bill of 1819, which has brought us
'back to the resumption of cash payments. When
that Measure was brought forward, we were the first
to warn the public of the consequences of rashly
adopting it. We foresaw all the misery which has
since been felt, and wished the period for return-
ing to cash paymentsdeferred. But why did not
Mr. Western, who now to feelingly talks of the
happy days when :we had- bank notes and no
gold,—why did not he, as it: shOuld seem the
country had prospered (which •we all along as-
serted), under that systeth—the system of Mr.
Pittwhy, we say, did not Mr. Western tell us
then of the" real wealth" whichthe country had ac- •
cumulated ? Whydid he not at that period celebrate
the blessings of the 'Rank Restriction Act, as he
does now when..they are tasted no more ? We
were hostile to• Mr. Peel's Bill, but it does not
follow that we should now desire its repeal.—
The country -,bas,': we hope and believe, nearly
paid the' price of that important measure, and we
should' be sorry to seelt abandoned (like the new
Post-office plan). for the little that remains to
be paid. Then we would have had the country
petition against the Bill ; now we would have
them bear the evils consequent upon it with for-
titude; and however tremendous the sufferings
of which it may • .be parent, let it never be for-
gotten that Mr. Western and•• the party with
whom he uniformly acts,. lent the chief hand to
inflict them. It was a favourite object of the
Opposition for many years ; the measure was in-
cessantly called for by them ;. and those who now
seek the repeal of the Act of 1819 were the
very men through whose instigation and inces-
sant outcry it was brought forward, and whose
decided support mainly contributed to its being'
passed intaa. law. Mr. Western was answered
by Mr. lluskisson, who moved an amendment.
Lord Archibald ilamilton spoke in favour pf Mr.
Western's motion : after which, owing to the
lateness of the hour, there was a general call for
adjournment •and the further consideration of
the subject was in consequence adjourned to thiS
day..

Westminster on the body of Mr. Joseph Ashall,
aged 60 years, who resided in Wells-street, Jer-

LETTER XII.
Mn. Enrron,—ln my Eleventh Letter, I gave
a few short extracts from the Fourth Lateran
Council, and from the Councils of Constance and
Bazil ; as also from a Letter, or Rescript, of Pope
Clement XI. and from a Decretal of Pope Gre-

gory IX. Agreeably to what I then mentioned,
I shall now shew how the Romish Priests are

bound, by their oath of fidelity to the Sovereign
Pontiff, to " adhere implicitly to the Decrees
and Canons of the Church assembled in General

Council, as Rules of Faith ;,' and to inculcate
the observance of them on their flocks :

" The Holy Apostolical Romish Church I acknowledge to
be the mother and mistress of all Churches ; and to the Roman
Pontiff; successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and
Vicar of Jesus Christ, I promise and swear true obedience.
All doctrines delivered, defined, and declared by the Sacred
Canons and General Councils, and especially by the most holy
Council of Trent, I receive and profess ; and whatever is con-
trary thereto, and all heresiei condemned, rejected, and ana-
thematized by the Church, I equally comdemn, reject, and
anathematize. This true Catholic Faith, out of which there is
no Salvation, which at present I freely profess, and sincerely
hold, I do promise, vow, and swear, that I will constantly re-
tain and conserve to my last breath ; and as far as I am able.,
I will be careful that it is held by, taught, and preached to,
my parishioners, or those the care of whom shall belong to me
in my function." •
And every Romish Bishop, who had of course
taken the Priest's oath, must also take the fol-
lowing :
" I, N. N., Bishop elect of the See of N., do swear, that
from this time henceforth, I will be faithful and obedient to the
blessed apostle Peter, to the holy Church of Rome, and to our
Lord the Pope,and his Successors, canonically appointed. I will,
to my utmost, defend, increase, and advance the rights; honours,
privileges, and authority of the holy Roman Church, of our
Lord the Pope, and his Successors aforesaid. I will not join
in any consultation, act, or treaty, in which any thing shall be
plotted to the injury of the rights, honour, state, and power of
our Lord the Pope, or of the said Church : and if I know of
any such thing to -be treated of, or intended, by any person
whatsoever, as far as I am able, I will prevent the same ; and,
as soon as possible, will give information thereof to our said
Lord, or to some other person, by whose means it may come
to his knowledge. lAI keep with all my might the rules of
the holy Fathers, the Apostolic Decrees, Ordinances,Disposals,
Reservations, Provisions, and Mandates, and cause them to be
observed by by others. Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our
said Lord the Pope, and his Successors aforesaid, I will, to the
utmost of my power, persecute and destroy."
Now, Mr. Editor, I- ask, and let those answer
that have any knowledge of Popery,—in the
event of Mr.. O'Connell's happy project for do-
mestic nomination being carried into effect, which
is likely to be most binding upon the consciences
of their " Eminences," (three of the present
Hierarchy are said to be Cardinals) " Graces,"
and " Lordships"—the oath I have here given,
binding them " to the utmost to defend, increase,
and advance.the.rights, honours, privileges, and
authority of the Holy Roman Church, of the
Pope, and his successors," and " to give informa-
tion, as soon as possible, to the Pope, of any Con-
stitution, Act, or Treaty,- in which any thing may
be plotted to the injury of the .rights, honour,
state, and power of the Pope, or of the Church;"
or Mr. O'Connell's 'proposed oath—" That if any
Pope, Prince, Prelate, Potentate, or any other
person. .whatsoever,. shall write to him" (a Ro-
mish Bishop)," or directly or indirectly com-
municate with him,- in political topics," (for in-
stance, on the speediest and most effectual means
of re-establishing Mother Church in -her former
pomp and power) " he will, with all conve-
nient speed, transmit, under his hand, to Go-
vernment, a true copy of so much of every such
Bull,.Rescript, &c.-Scc.. as ,may Telate to po-
litiCal affairs,.in any wise, directly or indirectly ?"
If,indeed, any man can for a moment entertain
the--eirimerical idea that, in. such a case, the for-
mer would be paramount to the latter, let him
remember that Robert De Winchelsey, Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, told Edward I, in the year
1296, " 4 that the Clergy owed obedience to two
Sovereigns, their-spiritual and temporal; but that
their duty obliged them to a much: stricter -at-
tachment to. the former than to the latter." And,
lest he should be told that this doctrine has be-
come obsolete, let him also remember that Doctor
Troy, Titular Archbishop of Dublin, in his Pas-
toral Letter, published in 1793, has declared,
" That the. Ecclesiastical jurisdiction and autho-
" rity assumed by the Kings of England was in
" its origin, and still continues to be, a profane
" usurpation upon the inherent spiritual- and ec-
" clejastical primacy, not only of power and
" rank, but of real jurisdiction and authqrity of
" the. Pope or Bishop of Rome, derived, to him
" by Divine right, as successor of St.. Peter,
" Prince of the Apostles in that See." From
this, there can be little doubt to whom Doctor
Troy considers the first degree of allegeance due :
yet; he was one of those that presented a dutlful
address to his Majesty in August 1821 ; and, in
signing it, his name occupied the second place.
The Sovereign Pontiff seemed fully sensible of
the force of that Proverb of Solomon :—" Train
up a child in the way he should go ; and When
he is old he will not depart from it."- Accord-
ingly, he appointed that the following oath
should be taken by youths, upon their admission
into a school or seminary- erected in Scotland
by permission of the Queen of Scots, to educate-
them for the Priesthood, after the troubles in
Flanders obliged the English fugitives to leave
Doway, where they had established a school for
that purpose,' by the advice of Win. Allin, a
Jesuit :
' "I, A. B. do acknowledge the Ecclesiastical and Political
power of his Holiness and the Mother Church of Rome,
as the chief Head and Matron of all pretended Churches
throughout the whole earth ; and that my zeal shall be
for St. Peter and his Successors, as the founder of the true
and ancient Catholic Faith, against all heretical Kings, Princes,
States, or Powers repugnant unto the same. And although
I. A. B. may pretend. (in case of persecution or otherwise) to
be heretically,disposed, yet in soul and conscience I shall help,
aid, and succour the Mother Church of Rome, as the true,
ancient and Apostolical Church. I, A. 8., further do declare,
not to act or contrive any matter or thing prejudicial unto her
or her sacred orders, doctrines, tenets, or commands, without
the leave of her Supreme Power, or its authority under her
appointed, to be appointed; and when being so permitted,
then to act or further her interest more than my own earthly
gain or pleasure, as she and her head, his Holiness and his
Successors, have or ought to have the Supremacy over all
Kings, Princes, Estates, or Powers whatsoever, either to de-
prive them of their Crowns, Sceptres, Powers, Privileges,
Realms, Countries, or Governments, or to set up others in lieu
thereof, they dissenting from the Mother Church and her
commands."
.• I cannot take upon me to say whether this oath
or a similar one is taken by the students ad-
mitted into the Royal Roman Catholic College
at Maynooth ; but, in the memorable year 1798,
, many of them acted upon the principles it incul-
cates ; for between thirty and forty joined the
1 ranks of Rebellion, and fought against their
benificent SOvereign at Kilcock and other places ;
, some of whom fell in. battle, and. the rest fled

frpm justice. After the suppression of the Rebel-
lion, sixteen other students were expelled for
having taken part in it.
At this momentous crisis, when there appears
a strange apathy in some Protestants, as to the
existence of our present establishments in Church
and State, while others are using every means
for their subversion that ingenuity can devise,

even calling in to their aid misrepresentation and
exaggeration,—it may not be amiss to submit to
the consideration of some of your readers a brief
statement of the sufferings of the Protestants of
Ireland, in the years 1688 and 1689, when
Popery was in the plenitude of power ; and I
shall devote the remainder of this letter to that
subject.
On his arrival in Ireland, after his abdication
of the Throne in England, James declared that
" he had made it his chief concern to satisfy the
minds of his Protestant subjects, that the defence
of their religion, privileges, and properties, was
equally his care with the recovery of his rights."
We shall now see how he fulfilled his promise.
His first act was to remove the Duke of Or-
mand from the Government, and to appoint,
as his successor, Richard Talbot, afterwards
created Earl of Tyrconnel, a furious bigot, and a
fit instrument of arbitrary power. He imme-
diately disbanded the Protestant militia, raise
by his predecessor, and armed at their own ex-
pence ; and they were even required to surren-
der their arms, with which they complied. In
their place he embodied a Popish militia, officered
by Papists.
.4C Hiving thus secured a military force, to
overawe and intimidate, Tyrconnel proceeded in
his great design of establishing the Popish reli-
gion on the ruins of the Protestant. Porter, the
Protestant Chancellor, was displaced, to make
room for Sir N. Fitten, a bigotted Papist, who
had been convicted of forgery, and publicly dis-
graced. The benches in the other Courts Were
tilled by Papists, with the exception of three,
who, it may be fair to infer, resembled some of
the liberal-minded, time-serving, nominal Pro-
testants of the present day : the corporate bodies

were bullied into a surrender of their charters;

and the Corporations were filled by Papists
the members of the Privy Council were exclu,

sively Papists :" the Prote;tant Provost and Fel-
lows of the University of the Holy and Undi-
vided Trinity, founded by Queen Elizabeth,
were turned out, to make room for Friars and
Jesuits ; and their plate and other property
seized : Popish- Sheriffs and Magistrates were
appointed in all the Counties, who refused to
administer justice to the Protestant inhabitants;
and they likewise harrassed them with every
species of tyranny : Popish Priests encouraged
their-flocks not to pay tythes to the Protestant
Clergy, of which they were at length entirely
deprived, and the Priests became their successors ;
the Churches were either destroyed or converted
into Mass-houses; the Protestant Bishops were
deprived of their Sees, and the revenues were
-paid into the King's-Exchequer : under authority
of a proclamation, Protestants were compelled to
take in payment for their goods a coin made out
of old pewter, brass, and broken pots, of the
value of about fourpence the pound weight ; out
of each pound weight of which, pieces were coined
of the nominal value of five pounds of the currency
of the realm* : recourse was also bad, to . the

trick practised in the rebellion of 1641, and since
acted upon in 1798 and 1503, of an affected
dread' of a massacre on the part of the Protestants,
merely as a pretext for disarming them, which
was carried into effect, except in the North,
where the Protestants refused to surrender their
arms a word, the Protestants of every rank,
from the highest to the lowest, were insulted and
robbed with impunity by the Rapparees ;' and
at length they were forbidden, on pain of death,
to meet in any number exceeding five." See
Letters by a Protestant of. Ireland, published
by C. Chapple, Pall-mall„ London.
Although I may recur to the last cited
author, I "shall here give an order, issued
by Colonel Lutterel, Governor of Dublin,
taken from the Appendix to Archbishop King's
" State of the Protestants of Ireland :"
" Whereas -several disaffected persons of the
Protestant religion are of late come to this city
of Dublin, and some of them armed with swords,
pistols, and other weapons, contrary to his Ma-
jesty's express commands, by his Royal Procla-
mation, bearing date the 20th day of Ju1y,1689.-
1, These are therefore to will and require all
men whatsoever of the Protestant religion now
residing or being within the said city of Dublin,
or within the Liberties of St. Sepulcher Donor,
or Thomas Court, who are not housekeepers, or
have not followed some lawful vocation therein
these three months past, to depart within twenty-
four hours after the publication hereof, out of
the said city and liberties, and repair to thetr
respective habitations, or usual places of abode
in the country, upon pain of death, or imprison-
ment, and to be further proceeded against as
contemners of his Majesty's Royal commands,
and as persons designing the disturbance of the
public peace.-2, And likewise, that all Pro-
testants within the said city and liberties, not
being of his Majesty's most honourable Privy
Council, nor in his army, or actual service, shall
within the time aforesaid deliver up all their
arms, both offensive and defensive, and all
their ammunition, into his Majesty's stores in
the said city, upon pain of death."-3, " And
that no Protestant whatsoever do presume, at
his peril, to walk or go in the streets, from ten
o'clock at night till five o'clock in the morning,
nor at any time when there is any alarm. In
which case, all such persons are required, for
their safety, and for the security of the public,
to keep within doors till such an alarm is over."
—4, "And lastly, for the prevention of riots
and unlawful assemblies, these are therefore to
will and require all the said Protestants, that no
greater number of them than Five shall meet and
converse at any time, either in any house within

* Even Tyrconnel's wife and daughters joined in plunder-
ing Protestants, by intimidating shop-keepers of that persua-
sion into a surrender of their valuable wares, in exchange for
this base Coin, for which they could not get a morsel of bread
for their half-starved families : for, though Protestants were
compelled to receive this coin frOm Roman Catholics, in pay-
ment of debts, or for goods, yet Etatian Catholics would not
take it from them. •
