otsEr.VATIoNs ON OATHS OF ALLEGI.i7.•fCESWORisI
BY MEM.

As it has been announced in the public prints,
that thin, Roman 'Catholics mean to petition Par;..
iacncnt next Session, for what is commonly, but

imprortly called emancipation, I shall continue
inyentavours to silent the British public what may,
piobably be the result of that meastire,`should it
unfortunately take place. - The following. inci-

dents unquestionably prove, that the present

Pope arrogates to himself IA high pretensions to
interfere with, and govern the teinpora!ities of
sovereign Princes, and the consciences of their

subjects, as ever were carried into practice in the
darkest ages of ROmish sUperStition.—Claitning
and exercising the dispenSing and deposing
Powers, with which his predecessors for many cen-
turies had used to gratify their• inordinate avarice
and ambition, he by a Bull placed
.the blood-
stained usurper,• Buonapartei oti the throne of

the Bourbons, and in the name of the immacu-

late Jesus, and invoking the holy spirit, conse-
crated a sceptre wrested from its legitimate suc-
cessor by a win of atrocities flowing from the
French Revolution, such as never stdined the

aiMais of human crimes, of drew down the venge-
ance of Heaven on the human race. And he de-
prived of his crown Louis XVIII., the legitimate
successor of a long rate of :rings, who had been.
regarded for many ages as the eldest sons of the
Church, the founders of all its temporal power,
and the liberal benefactors to whcam they owed all
their princely possessions. Hear what Doctor
O'Conor says of it, and he is a liberal and en-
lightened Roman Catholic priest i—" Notwith-
standing the oaths of allegiance by which Ro-
man Catholics swear, that the Pope has no power
oyer the temporalities of" States, the Irish titular
bishops assembled in synodat Tollow, in the county
of Carlow, so lately as the 6th of July 1809, ex-
tolled as just, holy, and legitimate, those Bulls of
Pope. Pitts VII., by which he absolved all French-
Men from their oaths of allegiance to the Bour-
bons, expressly alienating not only the Crown of
France, but also the property of all French
loyalists, secular and ecclesiastical, and driving
from their Secs a :hundred French bishops, who
were guilty of no other crime than that of a con-
scientious regard for their Oaths, and their fide-
lity to their Prince; and this too, without stipu-
lating for any compensation, without giving them
a trial, though they demanded it—without grant-
ing them that Which was not denied to the
Irish even by. Cromwell, any species of ca-
pitulation." The Doctor quotes Pope Pius
Vllth's 'Bolls, " Qui Christi Domini -Vices,"
published at Rome the 29111 of November, 1801,
and " Ecclesia Christi," of August 15th, 1801 ;
against which the Bishops, hurled from their Sees
for their fidelity,- appealed. Their Appeal was
printed and published by Dulau, London, 1804 (1).
Doctor O'Conor gives .some extracts front those
extraordinary Bulls We desire that the pre-
sent letters; and all the provisions contained in
them, shall not be disputed, on the ground that
any persons whatsoever, either ecclesiastical or se-
cular, have not consented to them, or have not
been cited, or for any other reason whatsoever;
and as they cmanated from our own proper mo-
tires, and from the plenitude of our .4pcstolic pcwcr,
we desire that they may remain for ever, valid and
immutable." The Doctor truly observes, " I say
again, • that the darkest ages have not witnessed
any Bull so extraordiaary as this" (2). The reader
will find all this in Doctor O'Conor's Historical
Address on the. calamities occasioned by foreign
influence, signed Columbanus, part 2, page 5, 27,
and 38. Louis XVIII. on the 6th of July, 1801,
aotested against this monstrous usurpation and
,q oe.
the •Papal,sanction of it. His protest appeared in
ibe,..Frinch Newspapers, and in those of elooy
country in Europe. Should not this have made
his Holiness pause before he placed that blood-
stained Monster on the Throne of St. Louis ? On
the contrary, he di:l every thing in his power to
puove that it was
.the result of cool deliberation,
and he becaate the herald of this deed of shame,
which the following incidents prove :--
On the 29th of October, 1805, some time he-
ft/re setting'oat for Paris, he convened a ena3;s_
tory of the Cardinals at Rome, and informed them,
4‘ that he cheerfully and gratefully complied with
the desire of his beloved Son in Christ (Napoleon),
to be anointed with the holy unction, by the
panda of his Holiness ; to be placed by the most
religious rites, performed by his Holiness, in the
highest rank ; to receive the Imperial Crown by a
solemn inauguration from his Holiness, impressing
the certmony with a character of religion, and
calling down the benediction of Heaven," to cover
over the crimes of this sanguinary upstart with
the broad mantle of Religion, to consecrate as the
zealous and pious supporter of the Holy See, the
man who had matte a merit nith the people of
Egypt " that he was the servant of their Prophet,
who had 'marched, to Rome to overthrow the
Pope, because lie had invited the Christians to
make war against the Mahomitan religion."
As if glorying in this extraordinary proceed-
ing, and desirous of proclaiming it to the world in
thtfoost ostentatious tnanner, he, on the 26th of
June, 1806, soma time after his return froth' Paris,
coil:retied ;-4::cOnsistory of the Cardinals, and in
his allocution to them, he said, " that he, the sac-
.ces;o4of St.. Peter and *Vicar of Christ, (3) went
to Paris for the purpose of decorating his beloved
Son in Christ, Napoleon, v%itli the eusigns of :lin-

perial Dignity ; that Ite aft embled them to cont.-
mnnicate 'to them the i...lntaty: conteifuenees,
which, by the blessing of bilve it:salted to
him from that journey." " What joy, what plea-
sure, we experienced in our first incer"view with
the Emperor,. whose fame has res-dunded to the
extremities of the world, and whom 'God has
Chosen to restore .his true] religion** .(4). " The
consecration and erOwning of the Emperor;
and of our dedi daughter iosephine, bis august
Consort, • were celebrated in the most soleinn
manner." Site was tie concubine of Barras,
the Director, who prevailed. on Buonaparte
to
Warty her,in,considerat ion of being promoted in
the army. A. CoOsistory is regarded as the most
august and dignified assembly which a Pope can
convene or address. Instead of feeling any re-
sentffien!. 4tt this conduct, Louis XVIII., soon
after his retort) to France, in !he year 1814, pub-
lished an Ordinance for it solemn thanksgiving in
all the churches of the Archdiocese of Paris, for
the happy return of Pope 'Pius VII. to his
States ; (5) and his Holiness, in retnin, order,ed
the same ceremony to be performed at Rome. It
is now, announced that his Holiness means to ca-
nonize Louis XVI.
This time-serving policy, this extraordinary
tergiversation of. the Pope and his Court on the
fall of Bnonaparte, reminds me of the extravagant
joy of the people at Pagan Rome, on the fall of
Sejanns, whom they had previously idolized, as
-described by the Roman Satirist— '

Clement
....IV., in the year 1773, Ai:dished the
order of the Jesuits by a Bull, in which he de-
scribed in strong terms their pernicious principles,
their crimes, their inordinate ambition, and their
factions and intriguing spirit, by wi,ich it is %veil
known the safety of Sovereign States had been
often endangered, and the peace of Europe had
been disturbed-. The present Pope, with an ex-
traordinary degree of presumption, has, by virtue
of the plenitude of his apostolic .power, re-esta-
blished these fiends in every State in Christendom,
by a Bull,' in which he bestows extravagant en-
comiums on them for their great moral and in-
tellectual excellence. What an insulttothose So-
vereign Princes, -to whom he is indebted for his
restoration, and . who hat formerly insisted oh
their extinction , for ever. He has also revived
that sanguinary'fribunal the Inquisition. He has
also declaimed against Protestant worship, " as
pregnant with fatal consequences, and unfriendly to
huinan happiness." . He reproached the French
Government, "for its protection of heresies, secta-
ries and 'schismatics." lie declared any indul-
gence to Protestants to be " an alliance between
Christ and Belial, light and darkness, 'truth and
error; sincere • piety and impiety." • Ile claims a
right . " to interfere in the concerns of all the na-
tions of the earth, in secular affairs, and about
oaths of allegiance." The Reader will find ail
this and much more, indicative of the inflexible
bigotry anti intolerant spirit of his chnieh, in the
official correspondence bettveen ilia Holiness and
the French Government, in three volumes 12tno.
published -by Messrs. Keatitige and Bro.wne,
booksellers af_tle... Eoglish Vicars Apostialie,
Duke-street, Grosvenot -square. This corres-
pondence with the French Government took plaCe
wben'the very existence of the holy See depended
on the will of the Corsican Tyrant, who allowed
religious toleration in his territories, which, drew
forth these severe animadversions from the Pope.
I proved in my first letter that the Roman Pontiff
was invested by the general Councils with - a
power of deposing Sovereign Princes, by absolv-
ing their'subjects from their oaths of allegiance,
and of transferring kingdoMs, and of ei:tirpating
heretics, (6) and I proved that these general
Councils are declared to be infallible, not only by
the canons
,of I the Romish Chnrch, hut by its
most eminent modern divines in the British Isle's ;
and the determination of the present Pope to carry
them into practice, which-1 have incontrovertibly
proved, holds out an awful warning, to the Sove-
reign Princes of Europe. It is astonishing, then,
that when assembled at Vienna, they did not in-
sist on his' Holiness renouncing, in the most
public and valid manner, thoSe pernicious and un-
christian doctrines of his church, which for many
centuries have been a fruitful source of treason-
able conspiracies, assassinations, massacres, and
rebellions, and which must ever flow froth the
Romish Chatscery upon their subjects, and poison
their principles - through the agency of their
Clergy.

(I) The Irish titular prelates, conscious that these bulls of
Pius VII. were schismatical, and contrary to the Divine Law,
extol them-as just, holy, and legitimate, lest any of their
clergy, shocked at
,this monstrous impiety of .their chief
Pastor, should renounce the Popish superstition. Doctor
O'Comir tells us, that the English Vicars Apostolic, dreading
the same, resolved to muzzle their clergy, and that -fur that
purpose, " they framed a test act, in favonr of the Pope's in-
fallibility, and approving of Pope Pius Va.'s conduct; in
which they determined not to grant faculties to any
priestst
who would not sign the following propositions : st
they hold communion with his Holiness' Pope Pins VW--
2d, That they do not believe the said Pope to hare fallen into
heresy or schism.-3d, That they do not consider him as be-
ing the author or approver of 'any heresy or schism." They
were really conscious that his conduct was both heretical and
schismatical.
(2) It is'similar in every respect to the bull by which Pope
Innocent 111. dethroned King John of England, and which
Pope Pius V. fulminated against Queen Elizabeth is )5E9, by
which he deprived her of her Crown, and absolved her sub-
jects from their oaths of allegiance. The English Papists its
1789, the Irish in 1792, insisted that the Pope never was in-
vested with such powers, by the canons of their Church, or
exercised them ; though they are empowered and sworn to
do so by the ad Canon of the 4th Lateran Council.
(3) li'hat blasphemy! •
(4) In his brief to his dearly beloved children in Great Bri-
tain, he extols her much more than he did Buonayarte, and
'as if solicitous for the welfare of our Protestant Government,
he exhorts them to loyalty and -obedience ; and Set he has
been expostulating with the Austrian Government against al-.
lowing Protestants public worship.
(5) It is truly ridiculous to think that the adherents of
Bnonaparte have liven tinder the frowns of Louis XVIII. who
has punished many of theta: and yet he has paid divine ho-
,
nnurs to the Pope, who deprived him of his throne, placed
the Corsican thereon, and excommunicated such persons' as
continued faithful to the Bourbons.
•

(6) They are liable to imprisonment, exile, confiscation,
and deaths by various canons of the Church,•which are so
voluminous, that it would require an octavo volume to give
even an abstract of them; and popish priests are bound by
oath to infuse them into their flocks.

Your Royal Highness will perceive that the'ruilitary ()X-
-eres pay is, in every case, nearly one-third uiore than ve
propose for the nav4 -officer; but there are, circninstances
peculiar to the naval service, which, in our opinion, counter-
balance this superiority.
.

•
In' tiMes of peace, the number of officers having 'commis-
sions as Commanders of the• Forces, is, we are informed, very
limited; whereas the Cominandei-s in Chief in the navy are
almost at rolintrous in peace as in war: the number, there-
fore, of flag-officers who will receive this advantage, and the
parrowvr sphere of their duties, must be set off against the

inferiority 'Of the sum received.
In times of war, the number of Commanders in Chief, if
not greater,- is not less than that of Connuanders of the
Forces: hut we consider that the superior advantages to be

derived by the flag-officer, from his share of prize-moneyi
wit! generaqv -(ford an ample compensation for the proposed
toteriolity,of pay.
Upon the whole, then, of this part of the subject, we trust
that your Royal Highness will a,ree with us; that the pro-
posed rates of pay are just and equitable, as well with regard
to the officers themselves, as to the public service at large;
and that, however they may nominally differ from the rates
allowed to the general officers of his Majesty's army, they will
he found to establish as much real equality as the difference
of the two services will admit Of.

We have presunied to enter into this comparison with the
pay uftbe army, lest it should be hereafter supposed that we
had not considered the subject in reference to tire military
service ; and, in order to show that, although a perfect simi-
larity cannot be effected; we have endeavoured, as fa ras it
seas possible, to attain a real equality, and to obviate any
complaints on the sews: of the apparent differences.
We think it farther necessary to propose,that Commanders
in Chief shall he entitled to this allowance of 31. per diem,
only while their flags are flying within the limits albeit- re-
spective
stations, anti that, on their decease, or during their
absence, the said suits shall he jpahl, as is at present Provided,
to the ollider who shall succeed .to.thc command, if he be a.
flag-officer; but if he be a Captain, that he stet!, be entitled
to the sum of 11. per diem duririg the time his, broad pernhint
may be hoisted as suinmanding on the station.
. . _ •
And we farther propose that all llag-oaicers,whether Con-
.manders in Chief or otherwise, shall be allowed to draw for the
s.vlinle of their sea pay aid Commander in Chief's pay, with-
lint distinction.
• We farther beg leave to observe to strut Iloyal 114;hriess„
that. The advance of three months' pay now made to
errs on theirappointinents, is so ina,equate to the net:es...art
expellees of Their outfit, that if has been the 'eu,toni to grant
to flag-officers, appointed Commanders in Chief on certain
foreign stations, an inippst of one thousand pdunds by way
of outfit c—hut we think it better that, in lieu of this occa-
sional indulgence; every flag-officer appointed to the chief
calm:nand of a foreign station, 'should be entitled ,to receive
an advance of six months' pay, which would obviate the ne-
cessity of the' occasional imprests we have hithertO brew
obliged to grant.

The pay of the other classes has been computed, not with a
view t.. any consi,lerable increase, but at a -sum calculated
upon the averages of the present rates.

It will at first sight appear, that the pay proposed for Cap-
tains and Commanders is considerably more• than the average
'of the several rates now established : but upon this we have
to observe, that the difference is not so great as it appears
to be :--
Firstly, because tire lower rates of pay are attached to ships
of'the smallest size in each rate, which arc gradually disap-
pearing from the navy, so that the majw it y of °dicers now
employed receive the higher rates of pay; and secondly, be-'
cause captains of flag-ships are at present • entitled to a con-
siderable addition of pay, whiCh comes highest in the lowest
rates, and in peace affects a greater proportional number
than in war. The value of this addition we have calculated
in the amount of net pay before proposed, and these circum-
stances render the real increase of expense on this headless
than it appears. . '
We have proposed that the pay of First Lieutenants of line
of battle ships shall be increased front 2191. 3d. per annual,'
,whiebther now receive in common withall other lieutenants,
to 1501. per annum, provided they shall be of seven years'
standing ; and we recommend that lien-tenants. commanding,
small vessels should he raised to the same sum ; and we trust
that your Royal Highness, considering the important duties,
and high responsibility of the senior lieutenants of line of
battle ships, will be of opinion that this iticreaSe is just
and expedient : and the increase of 181. per annum to lieu -
tenants, who may be subjected to the expellee and responsi-
bility of a separate command, will not, we trtbt, be consi-
elered 'too great.
It is proper to add, that the principle of making a distinc-
' tion in favour of first lieutenants of line of battle ships, is
nut new to the service: as at the first establishment of half-
pay, in 1693, this 'advantage was extended only to first lieu-
tenants of Ist, 21, and 3d rates, who had served as such for a
certain period.
Though we hare, for the reasons before stated, recom-
mended the discontinuance of the flag tray to captains (hav-
ing provided an equivalent. therefore), we do not propose to
withdraw the allowance of Gd. per diem. allowed. to lieutc-
['WAS of flag ships, by his Majesty's Order in Council of the
21st September, 179(1, having made no addition to the pay of
this class of officers, except in the single instance before men-
tioned.
We have further taken into consideration the pay at pre-
sent granted to young gentlemen, mates ar roidship.men in
his Majesty's service, the average of which (for it varies in
different rates) only be taken of the foriner at 401. and of the
latter at 301. per annum. We do not feel it neceisary'tO pro-
pose an increase of these rates, with regardta young men
who have scot passed their examination for lieutenants but
we hope that your Royal Highness will be Of opinion, that
passed that examination, and whoSe respon-
sibility andwhityhave
usefulness, as well as their necessary expenses,
increase with their age, are entitled to a higher remunera-
tion than young personi who may have lately entered Isis Alit
jesty's service. We therefore have proposed an increase of
pay to all mates and midshipmen who may have passed 'theses
examination.
We have to observe, that the examination of yMttrr, gen-
. tlemen for the rank of lieutenanthas been lately made more
strict, as, besides the usual examination in seamanship be-
fore naval officers, they are now obliged to undergoanother'
at the Naval College, as to their proficiency in the scientific
branches of their profession. We cannot hut hope that Hie
distinction, %%bid' we propose to establish in favour of ibose
who shall have passed the prescribed examination (though
it is new in his Majesty's service), cannot lie considered as
objectionable, either ita-pliuciple, or au:Laut.
Connected with this part of the subject is the sitzation of
•
schoolmaster on hoard his Majesty's ships, which is at present
so ill remunerated (namely, at the same rate as the youngest
midshipman) that it is found impossibly to obtaitt person* of
adequate acquiretnants to undertake this duty ; we however
feel so strongly the importance of the subjecr of the education
n his Majesty'i navy, as well of the upper
‘)ral.llY,4ss in
as per n
lower, that we hare felt ourselves bounA to pro,
pose to your• Royal Highness an addition to the 'par of the'
