GENEVA, NOV. 12.—A shock of an earthquake

greater part of the 'inhabitants were awakened
by it. The Shock Was felt at-the same in,tant in

On the other side of the Arve the Commotion was

TIM CATHOLIC 'CLAiaS.

roit THE SUN.

LET'T'ER ll.+►

EDITOR,-1 perceive that my first Letter
ha's called foith the animadversions of some ad-
VOcate of the Homan 'Catholic Cause, in a Jour-
nal called The British Pia's. To abute I answer
Oothingand as the Writer appears to identify
himself With The Pamphleteer, I can forgive his
interriperabce ; for there is nothing in nature so
irritable as a weak man, when honestly told of
his talc's. The solemnity of this Gentleman's
itager,tpbb the subject of his irishismsfr, still fur-
ther betrais the source front which they original-'
fy sprang and if I did not fear to ex, ite his irri-
tability •too.far, I might be induced to question
the cuirectuess Of his theological inquir;es (which
may be allowed to forum a collateral qualification
at least, upon the subject of his aninia(lverSious),
and to t.tsk where or how he discovered the wish
- that an enemy bad written (not wriv) a Book to
have originated in a tiudictive.mitld ! ! if it be
so, the world bat ,for at least three thousand
yearslaboured under a grievous error, in supposing
that 'Jos was a patient man—aye, patient even to

a inoverb!
Ile will, very probably, in Lis _next Paper, ask
what Jos has to 'do with the question I and
merely to save Leiner the further mortiflestion of
finding, like the Bourgeois 6entillunnme, that be
has been (not writing; prose, but) quoting Scrip-
ture all his life—without knowiltg it, 1 will as-
sure him al one, upon my veracity, that Jos was
his authority—but that the wish of this holy anti
patient man, that his adversary had written
Book, did not extend to such a Book as I suspect
this worthy Gentleman of having written, nor
was it muted in the Ondiclice desire of seeing
ft Oa • an Author expose himself in print—hut situ-
ply as a register of *his owo errors and back-slid-
togs, which I presume' is not by any means a con-
genial Wish with our Catholic Scribe, whose phi.
losophy appears to he 'not a little ruffled by the
detection .or even 'two innocent and very newts!,
Bolls-! ! But 'it is not my wish to break a but-
terfly on the wheel. I am ready to infer, that
the zeal of my,opponent (for which I originally
gave hint all due credit) arises out of his strict
adherence to his favourite Creed, and that being
denied access to Scripture, except through a dead
language, it has by him unfortunately been re-
duced to a' dead letter. Enough, and too muck
of this-1 hate egotism, and therefUre
gative this Gentleman's insinuations respecting
myself, by assuring hint that I have not the ho-
nour to he an bushman.; that 1 ant' not a Pseudo.;
Patriot, by which 1 understand a man attached
to the Party
,Politics of 14 Oponert, and
that so far front being an -apostate, I very
early in life made up my ()Pinion upon the
Cathidic Question, which every public act of the
Catholic Body and its advocates, from the jestiii.
cal trick of the Veto, doWn to the quibbling Cor-
respondence of MY Loan AknßlStioP T.ROY, has
tended to corroborate.
I could not, in my former Letter, in reviewing
time state of Parties and .Opiuior.s in this Country,
forbear lamenting the narrow views which seers
to circumscribe the perceptimas of Modern Poli-
ticians. 'The expelieneeof facts, the wisdom of
ages, no lormer appear to influence the Councils of

ing spirit lie buried under the general assumption
Of loyal and sound principles, why-should any con-
dition be offered by the Advocates for Emancipa-
tion ?_ Why not at once tsvg% equal rights, and
equal participation in the beeents.of the Consti-
tution, and boldly deny the necessity orany condi-
tion ? Why admit the danger of granting to
them uncontrottled power, and yet argue as if no
danger really existed ? 'Do not tkese men
.pereeive that their own admission implies the
necessity of conditions, which must not be
-nominal but- efficient and strong, to keep
down a spirit o encroachment, equally acknow-
ledged by the Opponents and Supporters of Ro-
man Catholic demands I Either our ancestors were
very timid and foolish in setting up the Bulwark
of restraining Laws, or we must be worse than
foolish in pulling theist down ; for •I have never
heard an argument rationally maintained (and of
course I-exclude the flippant assertions of The.Bri-

tish Press), which could prove them to have been
necessary in the one instance, -and. superfluous in
the other.. The only approach towards a Teasdn
. for complying with the Roman Catholic Demands
(for Claims they cannot be in any view of the sub-
. jeC!), is the inference drawn .by`' these Protestant
. supporters, that the light of
,the 19th Century has
dispelled the errors of the Catholic Church, coin-
-. prehendiug. all those principles and prejudices
which are incompatible with the safety of -a Pro-t-e*ant. Government. But this has been more
-zralously denied by the Catholics themselves, than
by those who are so liberally -condemned for their
hostility towards them. . It is denied officially, ex
'Cathedra—and by acclamation in the gratuitous
hallucinations of their popular Orators. They
are the same now—and for ever—" scalper
cadent— is the maxim in which they glory, and the
inctelihle superscriptiOn of the Labarton Which
they bear in the front of their array. • We cannot.
persuade them that they are changed, they resent
the imputation, and are proud of consistency in
ror, which senders them obnoxious to the peace
and welfare of a Protestant State. But are wa
then changed ! Is the glorious Constitution of
OUR FOREFATHERS less an object of our veneration,
or is the risk of innovation less to be apprehended
tram any accession or strength of hostile princi-
ples by which it is likely to be accompanied ?
Are the means of proselytism less open to an
intriguing Clergy, or the Throne more hedged
round with constitutional loyalty, than at the pe-
riod of our Regeneration ? Without entering into
any detailed answer to these questions, I have no
hesitation in affirming, that every thing in the pre-
sent day, connected with high constitutional
principle, is on the decline,. and that the sterling
spirit of our ancestors is debased by the alloy
.which French Philosophy and French Tinsel have
insinuated into it. Never was there a period in
'whiarinniaation could have been so fatal to our

vatic-sal- interests as the present—never was poli-
tical -hypocrisy so rank ;—never were speCulations
so dangerous ;—never were political parties. so
desperate as at this moment ! And yet it is in such
a period that men, to whom, judging from their
.fortner principles and conduct, we are disposed to
give credit for honest and honourable intention,

are availing themselves of the character they pos-
sess, and the hold they flatter themselves they
have upon the Public Mind, to overthrow the,
principle upon which our Constitution %. as RE-
FORMED in 1688, and to urge the fatal experiment
of admitting within the walls those who are tought
to - believe that their first duty towards God and
Alan, is to level them with the dust.
dear then, Sir, that in a constitutional
point of view—and as a general. question--no
-pJedge or sufficient guatantee can ever be given
by the _Roman Catholics as long as tl►ey ren►ain-
under the influence of foreign Councils—that is,
so long as they are encouraged to believe that
their duties to a !7'ireign, spiritual, and presumed
infallible guide, are paramount to the duties of
allegiance, and the laws of the Society in which
ti►eir lot is cast.

"!'hey cannot be entrusted with the administration
of La►vs which are repugnant to their principles
and prejudices, because no man will zealously
perform a duty which stands •in opposition to
what he considers a paramount duty. It it not in
the nature of man to do it—and with respect to
the description of men who arc now under consi-

deration, experience and history attest the uni-
form tendency of their principles to encroach upon
and undermine every Establishment which is op-
posed to the dogmas of their own faith. It has
been the policy (and the arc with which the

sclieve has been carried II is admirable) of the
Rowan Catholic Advoca' tes to give a popular (ir
to the most lippoi4*-4Nestion that ever occupied
too at(-mtion'iittd interest of the British People,-
The political principles of the' Roman Catholics
e substantially ARBITRARY—their spiritual no-
tions as decidedly bigoted, exclusive, and lime-
euzing. lu the support of these the most popular
appeals :tre made to our liberal and indulgent
feelings ; all the arts of oratory, which the licence
of speech so lavishly displays in the Palace-yard,
harangues, are transferred to a cause from which

all" popular principle has contantly been excluded,
a►►d (which would be scarcely credible, were it
Hot forced upon our conviction at every turn) THE
oppoNE NTS of a system thus stigmatized through
every page of history, as illustrating the extremes
of per secution, bigotry, and intolerance, are
held up to popular obloquy (more especially by
the Whigs, who owe the only consistent and le-
gitimate claim to public esteem to the exertions
of their founders in the same cause), and charged
with the very principles which it is their aim and
object to prevent true► ever contaminating the
sources of British Liberty, and Constitutional
Security. But I have already, I fear, transgressed
my lirr►its, and my kind monitor in The British
Piers has warned ►ue against prolixity—kits est aL
