There seems to be a systematic attempt on the
part of a certain Journal, from which nothing
liberal or just, but everything the reverse, may
be expected, to degrade the Royal Character, or
at least to lessen the respect of the People for
his present MAJESTY. The omissions; which, in
the Paper alluded to, are invidiously styled ex-
clusions, respecting the invitations to a recent
Ball, have afforded a new handle for its attacks
upon MAJESTY. It is notorious that his MA.-
JEsTv was solicited to become the PATRON of
'the Ball in question, from the natural inference
that his patronage would give increased grace
and energy to the charitable purpose of that
• Bali ; and surely his MAJESTY, as the Patron,
• had a right to prefer or to omit any persons, for
rTasons not necessary to be assigned to the pub-
'tic at large. In_ this instance his MAJESTY only
-acted as the head of any private family had a
'light to act on any private festival, and those not
.sPecially nominated on the occasion, if they felt
the genuine impulse of charity, had a full oppor-
tunity of contributing to the meritorious purpose
in view, whether absent or present. It would
be hard indeed for his MAJESTY to have any
Person forced iato his presence, because he came
forward upon solicitation, and consequently ought
not be exposed to any intrusion upon his private
.feelings.—"'Cease VIPER, you bite a file."

We again direct the attention of our Pro-
testant Brethren to our admirable Correspondent
Sin:ley, whose eleventh Letter appears in THE
SuN of this day (see the Fourth Page).—W e
thank him for the just compliment which he paid
to u 3 in selecting our Paper as the channel for
his communications on a subject of vital im-
Portance to the very existence of that Constitu-
tution is Church and State, which from the origin
of our Paper it has been our unceasing effort to
uPhold and perpetuate. Whatever the advocates
for POPERY may say, Popery is now what it ever
Was and ever will be, as long as the folly of any
part of mankind can support it. Mr. PLowpcx,
as SIDNEY justly observes, the last Defender of
POPERY, maintains this doctrine, and it has never
been denied or controverted by any Papists, or
any specious Politician who has endeavoured to

restore Papists
_to that Constitution in Church
and State, which at the very commencement of
gush restoration they would endeavour to un-
dermine and totally destroy.
