A parliamentary paper was issued on Tues lay
containing Lard Mayo's reply to the recent letter
of Archbishop Leahy and Bishop Derry declaring
that the negociations for a charter to the Catholic
university were nit broken off by the Irish hierarchy.
Lord Mayo writes to Archbishop Leahy :—" It
becomes my duty to call your attention briefly to
the events which have taken place with regard to
the proposals male by the Government in this
matter. On the 12th of March I announced in the
House of Commons that it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to propose that a charter
should be given to a Rllll.lll Catholic university,
I said that up to that time we had entered into no
negociations or communications with any one, but
that keeping in view the principles we thought in-
dispensable, namely, that there should be in the
institution an influential lay element, and that the
elective principle should be fully recognised, we
were prepared to listen respectfully and carefully to
all suggestions that were made to us, and to endea-
vour to suit the new university to the requirements
of those for whose benefit it was intended. On
the 14th March, therefore, I addressed to you a
note referring to your letter to the Earl of Derby
of the 23d October, 1867, in which you stated that
you had been deputed by the Roman Catholic arch-
bishops and bishops of Ireland to enter into com-
munication with her Majesty's Government on the
subject of a charter for the Roman Catholic uni-
versity. I said that I should be happy, on the
part of the Government, to receive from
you any communication which you might be
pldased to make on the subject. On the 19th
of March I received a letter, in which you put
forward several objections to the proposed scheme,
stating, at the same time, that you would do me
the honour of waiting upon me during the ensuing
week. A lengthened interview took place on the
24th March at the Irish Office, in which you and
your right reverend colleague repeated, to a great
extent, the objections put forward in your letter of
the 19th. To these objections Lord Malmesbury
and I listened with respectful attention ; and, at the
close of the interview, we requested you to place
those opinions in writing at greater length, and in
greater detail than you had done in your first letter.
A letter, dated the 31st March, was subsequently
received, in which, with great clearness and frank-
ness, you set forth the alterations which you recom-
tuende I should be made in the framework of the
new institution, as it was described in a memoran-
dum which I had the honour of placing in your
hands. The alterations which you said that you
considered necessary were principally based on the
assumption that there was not sufficient scope
given to the constitution of the university and its
governing body for the exercise by the Roman Ca-
tholic prelates of their authority in matters apper-
taining to faith and morals, or over the books that
were to be used by the students. In order, there-
fore, fully to provide for the exercise of that epis-
copal control which you appear to deem essential,
you said that it was not competent for laymen or
even clergymen of the second order, however
learned, to judge authoritatively of matters relat-
ing to faith and morality, and that the very least
power that could be claimed for the bishops or the
senate would be that of an absolute negative on the
use of all books that might be deemed objection tble,
and a power of veto on the first nomination of the
professors of the university, as well as an autho-
rity for their dismissal. You also made proposi-
tions with regard to the election of chancellor and
the members of the senate, which would practically
have put an end to anything like a system of
free election on the part of the general body of
the university. I apprised you in my letter of
the 11th May, delayed, as I then informed you,
by my unavoidable detention in Ireland, and
my consequent in tbility to consult my colleagues,
that these proposals could not be entertainel ; and
on the 17th I received from you a cute, which was
but a simple acknowledgment of my letter. As no
intimation was afterwards given of your desire to
continue the correspondence, and as no notice be-
yond formal acknowledgment was taken of my last
letter, I could come to no other conclusion than
that the communications were at au end. On
the 29th of May, therefore, in answer to a ques-
tion from Mr. Murphy, I stated in the House of
Commons that the correspondence which had
been laid upon the table of the house had shown
that the conditions which her Majesty's Govern-
ment thought necessary to attach to the granting of
a charter to a Roman Catholic University had been
declined by the right reverend prelates who were
deputed to act in the matter on the part of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy of Ireland, and that,
therefore, we had come to the conclusion that the
matter should be considered entirely at an end.
Tne answer given by the Earl of Malmesbury in
the House of Lords on the same night, though
somewhat different in words, was substantially to
the same effect. Again, on the 12th of June, in
reply to Sir John Gray, after referring to the dates
of the communications which had taken place, I
made a similar answer, and stated that it
was not our intention to take any further steps
in the matter. It could not have been sup-
pised that a correspondence conducted in
such a manner, extending over so considerable a
period of time, and terminating in the way it did,
was intended by you to have been re-opened. The
questions as to which differences arose involved
matters of the highest principle. Speaking on be-
half of the Roman Catholic prelates of Ireland, you
laid down in the clearest manner the maxims cn the
subject of university education which you consi-
dered necessary for the safety of the faith and
morals of the youth of the country. We could not
have supposed that requirements sanctioned by such
high authority, so repeatedly made and so
clearly expressed, could have been put for-
ward only to be withdrawn. Under these cir-
cumstances, I can only repeat the answer I have
already given in the House of Commons, that it is
not the intention of her Majesty's Government to ,
take any further steps in the matter."
