[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 his 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 COD`
dude this letter in a more appropriate and suit•
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 }Wehe
44 shall have become as distinguished as tl
" Protestant Church of England, for the mildness
" and moderation of its character', Protestants
" may safely admit Papists to a full particiPly
" tion with themselves in the exercise of tern:
" poral power. But when these two chaligei
" shall have arrived, the religions of Mahal:ne
"'and of the Church of Rome must, as resPeet,
" their present character and effects, have ceased
" to exist amongst mankind."
