CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

(cIitCULA:it.)
Fawley Parsonage, March 23, 182 S.
REV.. Sin—A Petition to both Houses of Parliament is now
in circulation among the Clergy of this part of the Diocese
against any farther concessions to the Roman Catholics; I have
thought I should not do my,duty towards the Clergy residing
within the Archdeaconry of-Surrey, with whom I can have-no
direct communication, nor better means, in sufficient time,
than by adopting it so far as to circulate it among them,
order that any Clergyman who wishes it, may have an op or=
tunity of petitioning the Legislature by adding his signature.
thereto, for which purpose I have directed that a similar Peti-
tion shall be prepared, and left at the White Hart, at Guild—
hall, for thre, days, say. 'Saturday, the 2d, .Monday, the •441,'
and Tuesday, the Sth; at the Coffee-house at Epsom, on Wed..
nesday, the 6th, Thursday, the 7th, and Friday, the Bth ; and

I cannot forbear to mention how desirable it' ould be, that

as many of us as shall approve of petitioning at this importarq
crisis, would promote it as Much as possible to their neighbotrr,
hood, in.which is ay be also some parishes which are Pet:W.4o4
though really with the Archdeaconry, it appearing to have
been objected, in some instances, upon the presentation Of ;tiLe
like Petitions, but with few signatures, that it ratbor;logspol4
the sentiments of the majority of the Clergy in the distriett
from which they purported to come,-to differ front those of time
petitioners. I retnam,,RCY, Sir, your faithful servant,
