SOLgAI QUIS DICEltr. ELLIUM LUI.L'IT

LONDON,
SATURD-1.1" EVENING, APRIL, 30, 1525.

The undecided manner in which the public
has taken up the Catholic Question betrays ..a
lukewarmness on their part, and gives increased
hopes and vigour to the advocates of Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT'S Bill. The consequence of this apathy
has been the success of the Catholic Relief Bill,
and the Introduction of two other measures, as
adjuncts to it, as odious in principle as they are
impolitic and mischievous ; we meats Mr.
LiTTLETON'S Disfranchising Bill, and Lord
FRANCIS GOWER'S motion for payment of
the Catholic Clergy. It is high time, however,
that something decisive should be done that the
question be set at rest for ever, and the country
saved the yearly discussion that this subject never
fails to produce. What better can we do, then,
than follow the example of His Royal highness
the Duke of YORK, and set ourselves, as much as
in us lies, sturdily and manfully to oppose a
measure replete with danger to the State, and re-
jected by the class whose immediate benefit it is
ostensibly intended to secure. Such an example
from any person ought to be followed, how
much more so then when tke Heir Presump-
tive of the Crown leads the way. This conduct
on the part of His ROYAL Hromsess has brought
ou him the obloquy of the Catholic faction ;
and, contrary to all Parliamentary usage, his
speech has been the subject of remark in another
place ; but it should seem for no other reason
than because this open avowal of his senti-
ments, and the terms on which be now stands
with the KING, precludes the hope of suc-
cess, and indicates, in no doubtful manner,
the opinion of His MAausTir on this hmmentous
question. But in answer to the censures thus
cast on His ROYAL HIGHNESS, it may be
asked, is he not a Member -of the House of
Lords ; why then is he to be disfranchised
only because he stands so near a crown, his ac-
cession to which (we are sure, he will pardon
us) we hope will be many years deferred ; why
is he to be prevented the expression of his opi-
nions, and compelled to measure his words, and
consider their effect, more than if he was the
last, as he is the first Peer of the Realm ? He had
a right, it was his bounden duty to speak his
sentiments whatsoever they were, and he spoke
them in a way that reflects the greatest -credit
on his head and heart. 'With regard to the pru-
dence of the declaration at such a time, it was
for Ills ROYAL HIGHNESS to decide us to that,
and, if in the exercise of his judgment, he deemed
it proper to sacrifice every other consideration
to the desire to discharge his duty as a Member
of the
Legislature, he is so much the more ea-
titled to our admiration, and the high regards
of every lover of his country,
111. d in spite of the
n
a faction he will obtain them. The
relative e s of
position His Roy Ar. litarrNess stands in
relative
has nothing
to the Crown has to do with the ques-
tion, it could not disqualify
him from voting on
A
the Bill, and
it could not, as it
appears to us,
impose silent vote upon him; and we repeat

again, he was obliged in his character of a Peer
of the Realm to express his opinion on a measure
he deemed hostile to the interests of the country.
Every one who places himself in a public situation
must drop all personal considerations ; the public
benefit is, or ought to, be., his sole object, and
every thing else must give way to that. It was
this noble feeling that actuated his Ito Y. AL lii cu•
NESS, and induced him to stand forward the
protector of the Protestant ascendancy against
the cabals and intrigues of a seltiih 'party—
a party who seek no other purpose but the ad-
vancement of their private plans, and the fulfil-
ment of their self-interested desires. For this
reason, we say, His Row, IlinusEss is en-
titled to the thanks of the country, his conduct
to its warmest approbation, and that appro-
bation will be best she►vrl by forwarding the
views of Ills RoYat. IlionNEss, and exerting
every nerve to crush the Pleasure he deprecated
before it is brought for the consideration of the
first Estate of the R.eal►n.

The French Papers of Wednesday, which ar.
rived last night, contain no news of importance.
The project of law for the -.reduction of the
remit's is still under discussion in the Chamber of
Peers. The following are extracts :
(From the Constitutiunnel ry' Wednesday, April 27.)

'PAnts, am 26.
A letter worthy of crec:it from the Peloponnesus, Arannounces
that the same General Odysseus, who, two years ago, suffered
an army of 25,000 Turks to pass into the 3lorea, and thus ex-
posed to great risk the independence of his country, has just
given occasion to most serious suspicions of his fidelity. Ile
has declared himself in open rebellion against the Government,
which has lost no time in sending troops against him. The
rebellion of Odysseus will be suppressed with the greater faci-
lity, as the major part of his troops has declared against him in
favour of the Government. This insurrection does not appear
to be connected with any party formed in the Interior. Having
been formerly the satellite of a Pacha, it is supposed that he
feels less aversion than all the other Greeks for a re-union
with the Turks ; and if he is not soon stopped by the Greeks,
the Turks will do justice on him as they did on Ali Paella.
( From the Etoik, dated Thursday, April 28.)
PARIS, Arum 27.
We learn from Calais that Lieutenant Vaux, Master of the
HOrse to his Excellency the Duke of Northumberland, Ambas-
sador Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty to the Court

servants and 31 horses. They were to vet out the next day for
Paris.

said, went over to the Turks, we find has surprised the Turks
at Volo, and burnt all their magazines, ♦elned at three millions
of piastres.

They write from Lyons, under date of the 25th April, that a
great number of foreigners of distinction arrived yesterday in
our town, amongst whom was Prince 3ietternich and his son,
with a suite of twelve persons, going to Milan. Sidy

Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, has contracted
a secret marriage with th• Austrian General Neipperg, who
occupies a situation in the Court of that Princess.
The Madrid Gazette of the 19th April does not contain a
word of news. The King and his Family still inhabit the
Castle of Arangues.

A letter from Constantinople of the 211th Marsh, in the _dogs-
burg Gazette, states that Count Guilleminot, Ambassador from
France, has conferences daily with the Reis Effendi.
According to the Universal Ganette,

supposed that the present Session will not termi-
nate before the last week in June, owing to the
unexampled quantity of private business which
yet remains to be transacted. The Liverpool
and Manchester Railway Bill alone will I occupy
much time, and will not probably he disposed of
this year. l'he expence to the parties of this
measure only, up to the present period, is said to
be little short of 30,0001.
The KING has expressed his intention of visit-
ing the Italian Opera, soon after his approaching
visit to I)rury Lane.
The Duke of YORK transacted Military busi-
ness with the KING yesterday.
Mr. Secretary CANNING was a little better
yesterday, although the Right Ron. Secretary
remained confined at Gloucester Lodge,
