The Sun.
London, England, 1821-02-27 00:00:00

We recommend to the particular. attention,
not only of our Readers, but of our Legis-
lators :and the people at large, the article
signed. FrnEl DEFElis6n, • (see our First Page),
concluded this day • from the SUN of yester-
day. It is worthy• of the" 'deep attention of
!,•
unr gratious Sovereign, the Inheritor of his re-
vered Father's Religious Faith, as well as of his
Empire. The Royal Family in general are deep-
ly interested in the staject, and we hope that the
Duke of SussEi in particular will maturely weigh
the argumentS and facts which it comprehends,
and then we canhave little doubt that he will
pause before he again 'advocates the pretensions
of those who enjoy every possible latitude of re-
ligiout-tOleration, and who ;can now only act from
a desire of political anthority, which never can
be granted to them without the danger of the
total. subversion of our present establishment in
. .
Church anditate:. - -

We hail with great pleasure the Petition from
the Clei-by of the . A rchdeaconry of Leicester
against the Roman Catholic Claims, which was
.rPresented to the House of Commons by Mr.
KECK on Friday evening last, and learn
that it is likely to be succeeded by a Petition of
a similar nature from the Magistracy and Laity
of the same loyal and independent County. We
trust that these laudable examples will be fol-
. lowed up by as many other Petitions as the very,
limited period before the discussion of the Ques-
tion takes place Will allow. These are not times
for Protestants to slumber; and at the Meeting
of a new Parliament, or rather when a new Par-
IPar-
liament is about to consider the most important
constitutional Question of modern times, it be 7
mes doubly necessary for all true friends of our
Px::ellent Cowtitution iu Church and State to
e.israise the utmost vigilance, and to d?fend
those Institutions• which. were raised by the
'wisdom and cemented by the blood of their
ancestors. " Nolumus leges Anglia' ?ntetitri," we
hope, will ever be the motto of Englishmen; and
that. this will be the watchword throughout the
Island on the present occasion. The Earl of
I)oNouctimol E, in introducing the Roman Ca-
tholic Petition into the Upper House the other
day, alluded to what he was pleased to call an
unpledged" Parliament, and to something like
an " unpledged" Monarch. It is very easy to
understand what his Lordship meant ; and while
we are disposed to give the Noble' Earl every
credit for his conduct upon • a late occasion, we
trust that neither the Monarch nor the Perna-
nrerit,will remain lOng " unplecbied" upon the
important subject to which we have referred. It
would indeed be lamentable were the Q U EEN
:fall to become the precursor of what is
itvlsOy .• designated Catholic Emancipation.-
