FOR THE SUN.

POPISH BIGOTRY AND BARBARITY IN IRELAND.

Mn. Etirroit,---Permit rue to offer you my own
and the warmest thanks of my Protestant Coun-
trymen, for your endeavours to draw the attention
of the Britibli Nation and Parliament to the
dreadfOl evils that would inevitably tallow any
ftirther concession of Power, Privilege, or Con -
seiptente to the Roman Catholic Body. Already
their physical supericiritY is so great, that it
enables therti to cominit the most shocking ntro-

cities Upon the Protestant Community, and gene•
rally with impunity. What then would be the
liltiatiOß of that community, if greater
inkence and power-vozre-conferred- upon' their
inveterate enemies, the PiriasTs ! The result
would he, that except in a part of the North, and
perhaps the Capital of Ireland, NO PROTESTANT
would dare i 0 live in it ! But a very few of the
atrocities committed by the Papists upon, Pro-
testants get into the Newspapers. Similar acts
of barbarity to that which was lately perpetrated
upon the corpse of Mr. HERBERT, of, Limerick,
frequently occur. The Rev. Mr. PETER Rost, of
Kilkenny,'was a few years since in imminent
danger of being murdered,, when, in performance
of his duty as a Minister of the Establisbeti
Church, be was reading the service over the re•
mains of a person who had renounced Popery,
while the corpse was grossly abused.
Such is their rooted hatred to I'rotestanism,
that no length of time can assuage their resentment
against any,who have distinguished themselves as
its supporters. A notable instance of this oc-
curred some years since in the county of West-
meath, which will scarcely be credited in Eng-
land ; but the facts were proved, and are re•
corded in the Courts of Law.

A number of Papists collected round the Church
of Almoritia, in thatcounty, one Sunday during di-
vine service, and broke open and entered a vault un-
der the Church,. belonging to the MEARas family,
of it EARESCOURT,and there committed the grossest
acts of brutal barbarity upon several corpses ; but
their highest resentment was reserved to be ex-
hausted upon the remains of one of that family
who had distinguished hirnselt in perilous times
as a supporter of the Protestant cause, and who
bad committed rise heinoui and unpardonable
offence of building and endowing, above a century
and a half before, that, Church froni
whence
them
now, with savage delight, dragged his remains.
Tkey placed his skeleton upon an eminence, and
with stones and potatoes, deg from an adjoining
field, pelted it till they reduced it-to ashesi In
this instance the wretches did nut escape alto-
gether with impunity. The Gebtry of the neigh-
bourhood pursued and secured the ringleaders,
who were brought to trial and publicly whipped
through the town of Mullingar.
Surely, Sir, when the BRITISH PUBLIC anti
BRITISH PARLIAMENT bear of these and such like
atrocities, which are daily committing, they will
not' consent to any increase of the Power and ht..
fl.ence of the, perpetrators of them. They will
not give up their Protestant brethren, to stake
and the gibbet which Popish bigotry is ready to
re'ar ! Let then) imag:ne for 'a motile what ~or
situation would be it we had•Papish Magistrates,
Sheriffs, and Judges ! !
The Protestant Petitions in favour of Cathole
Emancipation, as it is judicronsly called, Which
;tie signing in Ireland,, will no doubt be appre-
ciated by Parliament as they ought-to be. Thine
who sign theM, do So, for the most part, to,an-
swer their own private ends—to promote their
interests, or to gain populatity, or through fear.
Many of them get their bread from Catholic cell.
sinners, and, if they' refused their signatnre,
would be instantly left without a single customer
for their commodities.

I trust, Sir, you will not slacken your efforts
in our favour till the approaching struggle is over
the.confident Impes and expectatfons of o' r
enemies are (as I trust they will be) for ever
blusled.—Your constant Reader,

AN IRISH PROTESTANT.

CAUTION.—A swindler, representing himself
ES Captain VBRIIiY, of the 58th regiment, has in
various instances imposed on the pudic by giving
references to Messrs. GREENWOOD, Cox, and Co.
Army Agents, thereby directly assun lag the name
and rank and personating Captain VetturY, 58th
regiment. This person has moved at several.wa-
tering places; but is now .supposed to be in or
about London, as numerous applications f7.oni
tradesmen and others, whom he has defta.uded,
have recently been made to. Captain VERITY,-of
the 58th Foot, and his agents.. In 1815, the same
person passed himself off at liartowgateunddr rho
above assumed name, where he defrauded Mr.
GREAVES, of the Granby Hotel, of.bi tween .30
and 401. In the same year, he likewise ii. (rano-
id Mr. ADAMS, silversmith of Exeter, of a large
amount ; at which time, on inquiry, the real Cap-
rain Vattury was on duty with his -regiment (the
brit W. I.) at Guadaloupe.—This is to caution
the public against further fraud or impositiuu.
