SIR. llAncounT LEES.—This learned, intrepid,
and indefatigable champion for the „CONSTITU-
TION in CHURCH and STATE, has exerted himself
with so much zeal and ability in support of a
PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY in the sister Island
that we are highly gratified w'henev'er we have
an opportunity of testifying our respect for the
worthy Baronet, and therefore we extract with
much pleasure the following article which ap-
peared in J/ie (Dublin)- Patriot, of the 18th
instant :

" We feel great satisfaction in giving publicity to this splen-
did testimony (in addition to numerous others,.fresh in the re-
collection of our readers) of the high estimation in which the
unremitting exertions of our distinguished and enlightened
countryman in defence of the Altar and the Throne is held in
England. The ANTi-JAconni REVIEW for last month ad-
mits, that the influence Sir Harcourt Lees' writings has upon
public opinion is unequalled~ and that since Mr. Burke's fa-
mous Essay on the French Revolution,' nothing at all similar
to it has appeared.' .

TO SIR HARCOURT LEES, BART., BLACK ROCK, DUBLIN.

",We, the Master, Deputy-Master, Officers and Members
of Loyal Orange Lodge, No. WO, held in Manchester, in the
County Palatine of Lancaster, respectfully return you our sin-
cere thanks, for the bold and loyal manner in which, by your
writings, you have defended our most gracious Ring and our
glorious Constitution from the base and wicked designs of the
disaffected in this country. We are well aware of the great good
your invaluable publications have done in arousing every loyal
man to a just sense of his duty, arid to rally round the Throne
ins efence of the blessings we enjoy under a Constitution which
is " the envy and the admiration of the world." May you perse-
vere in the glorious task you have hitherto so happily succeed-
ed in, and your reward will be the blessing of every good man
who loves his King and reveres the Constitution of his country.
Signed by order,

Irt the Name of the Lodge, the .sth day of September, 1821.
