Mr. EDITOR-1f pot ti,ink the following sbott
statement of the Roman Catholic Question, after
so mud, hes been said on the subject, will reduce*

it so as to make it more level to common under-

standings, it i, much at youir service.
I am, your humble Servant,
PIVOT.

The Boman Catholic claims an equal right
with any Protestant Subject to hold any situation
whatever under the :King, at the same time 111,0
be denies his supremacy—in Iry her words, should
the Kihg order one thing, and the Pope another,
he will ohcy the Pope. and disobey the King
therefore a Roman Catholic must he a most im-

or
proper person to serve either as a Legislator
Privy Counsellor tinder a Protestant King ; for

we hove the best nuthorily to Ray, that '' Ito man
can serve two masters ;"' but more especially

u hen one ptotestc, mid is boon(' by the most sa-
cred ties to protest, against the doctrines vk bich
sre beld by the other. So !whit for the Oath of

Supremacy. ,
By the 04th of Abjuration lie is called upon to
abjure " that dar;lable doctrine and position
that Princes excommunicated by the Pope may
be murdered by their subjects."
it can want no argument, I think, to prove,
that those who hold such an abominable doctrine
as this cannot be qualified to set ve a Protestant
giu as Lf-gisl4tors or Privy Counsellors:
But 'it has been said, that Papists of the preteut
day do not boll this doctrine, and that the foreign
11Joiversi ies deny it. In a matter, then, of so

great mement, which concerns the peace And
Happiness of thousands, why does not the Pope,
and his Clergy at a General Council unegnivocally
rettonnce it, and also those insufferable Anti-
Chri,tian tenets, " that Hereticks may be con-
signed ro the fire, and that an oath may be disre-
garded whenever it inttiftres wi:h the good of
the Church." they will not do this, whose fault
is it that the Rom in Catholics are will lte:d under
some restrictions we know that they did hold
these doctrines in the reign of bloody Queen
Maul', and what is more, that they actually put
them in practice, and they themselves tell us.
that their religious tenets can never he altered,
which in fact is telling us (with no small Ilegree,
of impudence) too plainly to he misund,!rstood—
" Give us Power, and we will do the same again."
They demand every indulgence, -and concede
nothing.

LONDON,
SATURIMY, MAY 15, 1819.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. 'Chose of Wednesday, which were
due this morning, have not arrived.—ln the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on Monday, a Report was made
froth the Committee of Petitions ; amongst others
are several praying for a prohibition of the im-
portation of foreign grain, which were ordered to
be referred to the Minister of the Interior. M.
Roy reported from the Committee on the Budget
Of Supply. The Report was ordered to be print-
tetL and the discussion ordered tp be opened after
that on the Financial Accounts. The last men-
tioned discussion wa3 then opened by the Count
BER'ENGER, whose speech was ordered to be
printed ; and after hearing M. de CHAUVELIN, the
discussion was adjourned till Tuesday. No report
was made, as anticipated, upon the petitions fot
the recall of the exiles. The trial of CANTILLON
and MARINET, on the charge of attempting to
assassinate the Duke of WELLINGTON, commenced
on Monday. We give, in another column, an
abstract of the proceedings, The trial was ad-
j,,orned till Tuesday. It appears to have been re-
-1 Grted at Paris, that the King of SWEDEN had

tonunted to abilicate tilt Throne for a conside-
ration given by itusia. The following are ex-

tracts :

" PARIS, MAY 11.—The Cardinal de Perigord,
Archbishop of Paris, Grand Almoner of France,
held a Council of Bishops (12 in number) yes
terday, at his hotel, which sat for five hours.
" The Count de Montrisehard, Eq►►erry to the
Duchess of Guthlaud (Queep of Sweden), arrived
on Sunday at Pa► is frOm Stockholm.
" The King yesterday transacted business with
the Minister foe Foreign Affairs.
" There is a report of au i`ntenidett new and
very intimate relation bet tet:en Austria and Prui-
sia, by meant of a Convention, haling fur its ob-
ject a mutual engagement to prevent all foreign
influence in the internal affairs of Gtruiany.
" A Letter from Frankfort, of the Ist instant,
for two days past the most extraordinary
re;.or• s have been circulated here respecting the
peseta Government of Sweden. Mention is
made of proposed political arrangements, hut
which have been formally refused to besUbseribeti
to. The next Courier from Stockholm will doubt-
less put us in possession of authentic informa-
tion upon the subject.' If we may-believe the re-
ports which were circulated yesterday in
.this
capital, the proposed arrangements 16': bee❑ at
length adopted. It is even asserted, that the re-
sult is known, and that (bete has been granted as

a compensation for an Important sacrifice, a prin-
cipality on the frontiers of Russia, on ihe,side of
Asia, with an annual revenue of-2,000,000.
" It is announced, to the great de‘Pair of a cer-
tain party, that Lord Whitworth quits Paris this
day or to-morrow to return to England.
