'With mischief of the most- insidious' nature, and

" If uis MAJEsTY's tour through Ireland should happily
take place after he has given the Royal Asttnt to the Roman
Catholic. BUIS, he would be hailed as the conciliator of dissen-
tions. He would spread concord and union Where there has
P'evailed je alcusy and distraction. The persecuting spirit of
Orangism on the one side, and the humiliating sense of Subjec-
tion on the other, would yield to the protecting impartiality of
OIL Sovereign, and time would speedily reconcile . Protestant
ina Catholic into one happy communion of civil and religious
reedom. But what must be the fruits of his Royal Visit, if
his journey shall ^ial:e place after the Bills have been thrown
out? It is tliis -cons,.deration that snakes us believe th;.-y will

Now, ,we ask every wise and hcnest man, whe-
ther the obvious and direct tendency of the above
paragraph is not to urge his MAJESTY to violate

c`iernn Compact between the SOVEREIGN and his

aPs to induce him finally to deny his loyal sub-

PopEßy.--We most ea :nestly entreat the pub-

MENT-in order that the people may see the:true
grounds cn which the Whigs have abandoned
their Protestant principles; and are nowt the
, mourous supporters of the. Papists and .the old
Aristocracy.
The following is„an extract from an. Evening
Paper of yesterday, on which we shall not offer
any comment, but leave the public to draw their.
own conclusions fiom it.

" We learn, by private letters from Oxford, that Petitions to
both Houses of Parliament, against any further concessions to
the Roman Catholics, were yesterday unanimously voted in
full convocation.

" Upon this subject, we lay before our readers, 'from a cor-
respondent,,the following Concise analysis of the historical facts
and legislative principles, which produced the penal statutes
against the _ Roman Catholics, and the contradictory results
which seem to flow from their repeal. We say, seem to flow,
because unless it can be established that those penal statutes
were meant to be co-existent in all after-time, with the British
Constitution, or -with that of the Catholic religion, these re-
sults are, irrfact, only the necessary consequences of any re-
peal, at whatever period it may take place.
" I assume, as incontrovertible, that King Jaines 11. was
deposed for divers arbitrary and illegal acts", and as a Papist.-
1 Will. 111. (Session 2) cap. 2, Preamble, and Clause 1.
" I assume, that the posterity of the said King (except his
daughters, Mary and Ann, by name), were and are excluded as
Papists.---Said Statute, Clause 2.
I assume, that the King is required by-law to swear, in
open Parliament, or at his Coronation, that he is not a Papist.
—Said Statute, Clause 10.
" I assume, as incontrovertible, that the House of Ha-
rov2r is not, by genealogy, the rightful heir of the British
Crown.

" I assume, that the House of Hanover was placed upon
the British throne as the nearest Protestant branch.—Said Stat.
Clause 9. _ _

" I assume, as incontrovertible, that the sole right of this
House to the possession of it, is under the Act of Parliament
above referred to.—But

- ----- ,
" 1. According to our wise legislators, the Popish religion
is quite harmless ; Papists are as good as Protestants ; ar.O. all
disqualifications, arising from the professions of Popery, ought
to be abolished on principles of justice.
" 2. According to our honest Legislators, the Popish reli-
gion is, on principles of justice, no bar to any claim of any
rights by subjects.
" 3. According to our just Legislators, the Popish religion
is a bar only to the right to that tnfling inheritance, the Crown.
" 4. According to our conscientious Legislators, the condi-.
tional suspension of rights to inferior matters is to be redressed,
but the perpetual forfeiture of the Crown is not to be compen-
sated.—lf then,
The above conclusions be really those of out Legislators,
I beg to know on what grounds of wisdom, or honesty, their
and our allegiance is founded ?
" ` Is it on arguments of justice and consistency ?
" Is it on motives of convenience arid expediency ?
" Is it on good faith, and honesty ?,
" Is it from, the difficulty of reconciling conduct to avowed
principles, and the necessity of acquiescing with the law as
established, at the Revolution, to avoid punishment for the
grossest violation oCit--for the commission of high treason,
that the oaths so numerously taken by them, and othere, with-
in the last fourteen months, to King George the Fourth, can
be justified. ?'
" The question is certainly one of vast importance, and
should be entertained without political prejudice on the one
hand, or religious bigotry on the other. In the stand which we
have uniforinly made against conceding the Catholic Claims we
have done so from an honest conviction (a conviction fortified
by repeated majorities of Parliament? and the sentiments of
enlightened Statesmen), that the, principles of the Constitution
were opposed to such concession. We willingly allow, how-
ever, that Statesmen no less .enlightened-Land minds of no in-
ferior quality—are arrayed on the other side. Our firmest
hopes, therefore, rest upon the calculation, that whatever form
this long agitated measure may definitively assume, will be im-
pressed upon-it, not rashly, nor by any unskilful hand ; but
that it will come forth, matured by nearly half a century of in-
vestigation, 'and explored by the researches of all those great
men who, dur;ng that period, have adorned the Senate of this
country, as well as by the collateral inquiries of distinguished
writers."—( 'uttrier.)

A Mail has arrived from Flanders, with Brus-
sels Papers to the 6th instant. The Elector of
HESSE died of apoplexy on
.the 27th ult. The
congress of Laybacti is expected to issue a De,
claration relative to the affairs of Spain. A Con-
cordate is said to have been concluded•with the
POPE, respecting the spiritual concerns of the
Catholic subjects of his Prussian Majesty. • It is
apprehended that the plan of a Representative
Constitution for Prussia is postponed sine die.
No preparations were making so late as the I,7th
for the KING'S departure for Laybach. His pre-
sence may be deemed necessary to preserve peace
at home... The latest accounts from Rome men-
tion, that the vanguard of the Austrian army wits

that city.
Last night, the -outside, or state coffin of the
fate Princess ELIZABETH, was removed from the
premises of Messrs. BAILEY and SAuNDERS, in
Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, to the residence
of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. in the
King's Palace, St. James's ; and soon after nine
o'clock, the remains of the Princess were placed
in the state coffin, under the direction of Mr.
MASH. The coffin is covered with :crimson vel-
vet, decorated with silver nails and appropriate
ornaments.

Church, and interred with great solemnity:—
Fourteen mourning coaches, and eight private
carriages, formed the mournful procession.
