(From the Spectator.)

RESOLUTION ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
RECENT ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCEEDINGS.
TO RE MOVED RY LORD foHN RUSSELL IN THE HOUSE
OF cuMMONS, AND MY LORD OVERSTONE IN THE
HOUSE OF PEERS, ON MONDAY, PER. 10.
" Where as an instrument, executed by the Bishop of
Rome, pre tending to constitute her Majesty's realm of
England a province of the Roman Church, and to divide
the same in. to sees, and to appoint bishops thereof, has
been published extensively:
" And whereas this country is, by its constitution,
subject to no authority, except that residing in and
emanating from the lawful Sovereign and the United
Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland, and will ever
maintain ii;s independence against all foreign interven-
tion whatsoever:

" And whereas the Bishop of Rome has no lawful
authority or power in this country, and no person can
lawfully exorcise power, authority, or jurisdiction in
England on his behalf, or is his name, or under his
control :

" And whereas great disquiet has been occasioned to
her Majesty's loyal subjects, and made known by peti-
tions to this House, because of the invasion of her Ma-
jesty's royal prerogative and supreme authority, and
great indignation because of the outrage on the constitu-
tional rights and prescriptive usage of England and the
Protestant feeling of the people of this country, and of
the public insult to her Majesty's Crown and dignity:
" Resolved,—That such pretended bishops of English
sees have no lawful authority over sees in this country,
and that parsons acting under such instruments pos-
sess no power or authority whatsoever, and that
no obedience is due from any of her Majesty's
subjects to any such pretended bishop or persons
so acting; but that if any such pretended bishops, or
persons acting under such instrument proceed to exer-
cise authority by force or compulsion, such proceeding
will be illegal, and will be punished on due prosecution
of the offer ders in the courts of law.
" That a n humble address be presented to her Ma-
jesty, embc dying the foregoing resolution, and request-
ing that her Majesty will graciously make known the
same by her proclamation to the people of this realm.
" Also stating that this House ever holds itself bound
to co-operate with her Majesty's Government in the
framing and enacting of measures that may be from time
to time most, suitable to secure full liberty of conscience
o
and free exrcise of religious observances within the law
to every denomination of Christians, and to render the
ecclesiastical' institutions of this country, as by law esta-
blished, more efficient, so that they may continue more
firm, under Divine Providence, in the affections of her
Majesty's subjects."

The Address in the Lords in answer to the Queen's
Speech will be moved by Lord Howard of Effingham, and
seconded by Lord Cremorne.
