The Rev. Sir HARCOURT LEES, Bari.

There exists not that Man, within the wide
circumference of the British dorninVeni, attaChed,
to his KING, our Protestant Constitution and the
Christian Church, whose heart will not expand
with delight and unfeigned gratitude to Gon for
the preservation of our great guardian and protec-
tor, when we inform theM, that the main pillar of
the State, in these awful and alarming days, the
Rev. Sir H. LEES, Bart,, is rapidly approach.
ing this ill omened country, which he bas thrice
saved from massacre, and will yet rescue, in de-
spite of every effort, either on the part of Sove-
reigns, their Ministers, or their Agents--from
despotism, popery, and the most daring and tiler.
ciless popish persecution. We have been fa-
voured with a letter, dated the 23d ult. "fruits

Carlisle, in which this enlightened Statesman
and Patriot, after taking a general view of the
present situation of Continental affairs, and re-
probating, in the most severe terms, the short-
sighted and temporising system of policy, adopt'
and persevered in by a great part of his Majesd

ty's Ministers instructs that he was theft on
his toad into Lancashire, for the purpose of iv

quiring that specific information on the spot, re..
speeting the great Jesuit Establishment atstoneyd
hurst, which would enable him to give the finaf
blow Ore give his words)---
To that secret =thorium of loyalty, and Jesuits, whose-
relgious machinations, through their allies at Clongowes to en.'
sure the pare and tranquillity of Ireland, I alone, in the Ern.
pire, first penetrated into; and whoie efforts and conspiracies to

dismember the King's dominions, I alone exposed and pro-
claimed for nearly three years before I could' rouse a dormant
country—unsupported (except by the Rev. John Graham, the
learned but humble Curate of Lifford), calumniated, and in-
stilted, but undismayed—falsely threatened with the nialedic-'
dons (for my support of the Protestant Church) of that SOW~
reign whose crown, at the Ogee of ,iris; life, I secured upon
the Royal brow, from a principle of never ceasing gratitude to
his afflicted parent, though deserted afterwards in the House
of Commons, as I was by those Ministerial Ingrates, who
owed their very existence in the Cabinet, to my unbought, and
unremitting exertions in their defence, at the period of. their"
own and their Sovereign's greatest peril."
...•
Such is the eloquent and unanswerable land
guage of the most able, and incorruptible Patriot
of the age, who even opposed that.gerkerous and.
gracious Soverign, when he saw at the moment ac
he did, and predicted, that under the influence
of ignorant and deceitful advisers, his Majesty
would unfortunately be induced to
.sanction a
theoretical system, pregnant with dangerto the'
State, and degradation to its established religion.
To the readers of the ihotidote, we have tionc•!'
casion to say more than to desire them to, rem'
peruse the entire of the political productions or
this great mati, as given in our Paper from time
to time, and then; to reflection. the present and
past state of the continentOf Europe and of Ire'
land ; and if they can lay their,flnger upon one
single political prediction of his, that has not bee"
fully leaked, we will admit that Mr. CottnFO
is not only as true a prophet, but even a nue
profound scholar than Sir HMtcouaT TALL ST:
regret that we cannot publish the entire of In
distingished Baronet's Letter, as we are 0'
certain that it was intended for the public oyer
but yve could nut refrain from 4qcoracting the
passage above quoted.---Sir Harcourt Intends t°,
return to Ireland by Holy-head, and is expecteff
to be at Black 'Lock on or before the Ist of Nor
