THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

FOR THE. SUN.

[LETTER 117.]

EDITOR,—It is no easy matter to follow
the Ausnerer of Mr. PEEL through the maze of
extraneous rubbish with which be has blocked up
the avenues to truth and sober investigation. lie
enumerates all the disativi;ntages under which
Irciaml has laboured for the last century, and
tlim very ingeniously attributes them in toto to
the [lxtow, and because the Irish Secretary con.,
cedes to his Padiautentary Opponent that Ireland
turfy hire been oiisraded 5 but denies the efficacy of
the Roman Catholic Par ACZA ; this Gentleman
exclaims, in a torte of high indignatioo, " It is
too much to hear it stated upon authority, that
" the question now to be discussed is this (quot-
" inr, Mr. PEEL'S words), circumstanced as fre-
t' land now is, by what course of policy shall we
‘e best promote the interests of the Empire at
large,"--1 would ask this Gentleman, if lie
were accessible, why it is too much to have it scat-
eel upon.authoritg, that the first axiom of sound le-
: &Entire policy should be adopted is Ole considera-
tiod of this RS well as every other great national
einetioni—Does the ingenious Writer mean to
infer that any Legislature cast exercise a right to
. make Laws„ or to repeal Laws irrespectively of
their influence ypon the whole body of the State ?
It is really curious to observe, amidst all the af-

fectatiott of popular terms, how the narrow and
partial views of an EXCLUSIVE CREED, betray them-
selves in this their most unnatural association with
professions of liberal policy. Everything is to bend
beflae the interests of THE CtiURCH CATHOLIC---•
the COnstitttion, the General Interests of the
Commuuity, are dust in the scale against it.—
The Answerer, indeed, tells us, that he could prove
`the.measure proposed by the Catholic Relievers to
be of " imperial concern ;" but this he does not
cio ;—be, however, insists, without any such Con-
sideration, " that Ireland, for her own sake,
singly a.od separately, ought to engage the at-
" tension and mercy of Government," which, in
plaits English, is as mach as to say, Ireland is in.
a situation that
,requires every aid and assistance
from England, because (I quote his expressions)
hermisery is manifest " is the Bankroptcy'of her
" Exchequer, the decay of her Commerce, the de-
" solation and beggary of her Capital, and the
4. Prostration of the 'middle classes of society,
under the lash of Taxes ;" and this aid and as-

tistance are not to be given in such manner as

„c r
sigtent with the Interests of the Empire 4 but in the
form (specifically prescribed by this Gentleman
and his friends) of acquiescence in the Claims of
the Roman Catholics !—We might, upon the same
principle, chip a plaister upon a man's leg to en-
able hint to pay his tailor's bill; shall we
give ,hint a stone who asked* for bread ?—Stich
notions are altogether too absurd to arrest
our attention, if they did not occur in a
thousand shaPes, and under various modifications,
in all the principal arguments biought forward by
those who call themselves the Advocates of Catho-
lic Entancipation ; and that obviously and pur-
posely to stare off public obseriation from the
RUM. NArune of the object in view.

The Great Irish Landholder lives in England ;
his Agent lets to a Middle Man ; he underlets to
Sub-Tenants, and they parcel out the property in
single acres, perhaps to- the OCCUPIER, the sweat
of whose brow supplies a retrograde chain of op-
pressors with the means of luxury and indepen-
dence, whilst ne is.left, as one of the clods. of the
earth to be turned up with his 'common mother,
for the next year's produce !—Here Common
Sense points directly at the root of the evil.—
Ask a thorough-bred Emancipator for a remedy
to this crying oppression; and he will coolly an-
swer, concession to the Catholic Claims!—Arc there
..ten. heads broken at the fair of Ballynamore, more
than Ole average of the last seven years, Catholic
Grievances present us with the cause, and Catho-
lic Emancipation with the cure, and so on of any
grievance that want of patriotism, and inter-
nal bad policy, induce upon the people of Ireland.
But we must not lose sight of our Pamphleteer,
who favours us with a simile, by way of illus-
trating the political Panacea he would thus
prescribe. "If a ship's crew (he says) were to
" observe a sailor drowning, the honest souls
" would think of saving hint for his own sake,
" and for the sake of humanity; not on a:eaten-
" Winn of the relief he might give them in navi-

" gating the vesscl."—Thii is vastly pretty,
though perhaps not sufficiently lofty for the occa-
sion, when we consider who is represented under
the type of the drenched sailor. But as political
truth is often elicited more readily from what is
implied, than from what is diectliasserted, we
will amuse ourselves by reducing said simile to
plain mutter of. fact, and thereby ascertain to

what view of the case it really and substantially
applies. Xlie are to presume that the ingenious
writer intends the ship to represent the State—
and the poor SAlor, alas! the Irish Catholics! So:
tar,. so-good. That " the honest sofas" on board,
that.is die Good People of England, .would endea-
vour
.to save the drowning sailor for his. own
sake, ata for the sake of humanity, we:will not
for a moment dispute ;—saving to ourselves the
right, however, of devising the best possible
means of so duitig ; among which, by the way,
it would scarcely occur to us ou this side of the
Vessel, at least to , throw out to him a loaf of
bread, merely because it is the staf of life, though
We might 'cast hint a rope --(sOnietiines, indeed,
the finisher ,of it) as the most effectual means of
present salvation. But to pnrsine our illustration
of this ingenious figure of-speech. Does this-Gen-
Hennas) menu us to infer, that the crew would risk
the safety of the Vessel to effect this object of hu-
manity —or that " the honest Souls" playful
reflecti(lll upon John provvrhially easy na-
ture). would Ist...justified in putting the Vessel about,
if a shoal or sand-bank threatened them with des
sisoetion by so doing ! I doubt very much wine-
titer-this ingenious advocate on the side of mercy,
would not find as strong an argument, even front
the sources of humanity, were he one of the
" hottest souls" on board, for keeping the VeSsel
on her coarse! -But here, like the Proteins of-Alot;
dem Reform, our Author has assumed a newshape,
and whilst be asserts a claim,
.and insists upon a
right from the Government, he appeals for a boon to
the 'mercy of the people. The Pilot, from his
kno-wledge and experience, may be sturdy in his
determination to avoid the daugers by which the
Vessel is snrryunded ;-s—an application, therefore,
to the humanity of the "- good souls," who know
nothing about the matter, is more likely to an-
swer the purpose of theMvocates•of the drowning
sailor! But it will be well for those of tine crew (to
continue our Author's happy mode of illustration)
wino listen to this man in the water, to ascertain
how he came there ; and though they be denied
by our Pamphleteer the right "'of calculating
rise relief. he might give them in navigating the
" Vessel," they may, perhaps, be permitted to
calculate the danger his admisSion would incur,
and for their .own sakes to ask, whether he fell
overboard by accident, or was sent adrift for mal-
practices-1 The result of their iniquity will not in
either wholly exclude the influence of humanity
upon their decision,' but it may certainly operate
to quality the mode in which relief shall be af-
forded. For. Example, if it be found that this
same figure of straw in a jacket and trowsers had
been a mutineer, had disputed the authority (!)? his •
Captain, had contemned his regulations, obtruded
upon his discipline, and even entered into corre-

-spondenee with the Enemy to deliver up the Vessel to
FoitEIGN CoNimANDERS—Might not the honest
souls" hesitate as to the propriety of giving him
the puwer to repeat his Offence! They might allow
him a boat to follow in tie ship's wake, but they
mnst be something more. or something less than
" kinest souls,'' if they restored hint to his birth
on boat d ! .

But a further - consideration of the case might
be necessary on the part of the crew to assure
themselves that, the man was • actually drowning,
and that he was therefore really an object of hu-
manity. The Gentleman who has made the
has nhu contlcaccmicd to make the case ; we
have, therefore, a right to suppose one which
might be equally illustrative o' the subject. Should
then the " good souls," when they come to look
this case of humanity in the face, discover it to be a
very old acquaintance, they might he induced to re-
consider ail that they had already done for him. They
might refer to their log, or their purser's ledger,
and they might there find, that this same well-
known and experienced Drowner hail many years
ago first attracted their attention by
,calling out in
a %cry retrial kable dialect, " I will be drowned, I
" will be drowned—and nobody shall save the,"--
that they had saved hitt) against his own declara-
tion,—but that after he bad been saved and che-
rished and protected, he, continued the same cry,
and would not be appeased till they had repur-
chased for him many things which he had forfeited
before his plunge;--that in a short time afterwards
his voice was again heard, 'far above water, still
crying murder however, and claiming rights and
privileges, which after some hesitation were yield-
ed to his importunities—that again, without any
further affectation of drowning, he demanded that
he might send on board those who should take
charge of the property he had left s behind him,
and other chattels, of which, iu point of fact, he
had by law been deprived.' Still for " his sake,
" and for the sake of humanity," that the boon
had been granted, and that in this as in each pro-
gressive prayer, cry, petition, or clamour, as it
was advanced, a solemn declaration was made by
the Appellant, that after all this concession nothing
further should be demanded ! If to the,stock of ex-
perience thus accumulated
_they should find that
concession was but the parent of concession, and
that nothing short of delivering.up the vessel into his
hands would ultimately satisfy him, it. is but reason-
able,to suppose, that here the " good souls" would
resolve to make their stand ! We. will suppose that
upon reference they found that this resolution
had been taken. What Oleo would be their sur-
prise on being called upon by a well-dressed Gen-
tleman, ivit- the form and semblance of an Author
and Advocate, beseeching them to come forth and
save a drowning wretch who was a real object of
humanity; what, I say, would be their surprise
to find their old !fiend stripped to the skin, and
plunging about in the water-just as he was in the
first instance,. uttering. the same well-known
cries, and supplicating for mercy as if he 'were
on the point of sinking ! Surely the first irnpres-
sion.upon the minds of " the good souls," would
be, that the man was an impostor, and something
more than aid and assistance was required by their
importunate petitioner. But if their hesitation,
were to be imputed to them as wanton barbarity,
if this amphibious appellant were to vilify and
_subsequently to threaten them in case' of non-
compliance with his demanols, if making their
former bounty a ground of reproach, and spurning
and rejecting all further proffered aid, unless he
were immediately taken on board, re-instated in
authority, admitted to power, and put in full pos-
session of all the means whereby ire had , for-
tnerly enslaVed the crew, and proposed to make;
them over to a foreign Counander, would

LONDON,
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1817,

Montreal Papers to the 10th of November
arrived this tnorning-; and New York, but not of
a later date than those of yesterday.
(From the Neil:York Commercial Advertiser of Nov. 18.)

NEW ORLEANS, Om 30.—The sickness still
continues so violent that the Planters have not
yet ventured into the City. In consequence of
this circumstance, there is very little cotton or
tobacco sent to market ; the latter, article is
selling at 8 dollars per cwt. and very-scarce.
A Letter from New York, dated Nov. 21st,
states 'tba: at St. Bartholomews, on 0ct.23, there
was no sale for flour ; sugar was at 8 dollars ; and
at Barbadoes flour was 10 dollars.

About the 18th ult. American produce was ge-
nerajly in demand in all the ports of Jamaica, and
the produce of the Island scarce and high.

At St. Jago de Cuba, on the 20th ult. the mar-
kets were dull for American produce, and the
Island produce very scarce and high.

The Papers received from Montreal state, that
there had been a great fall of snow for several
weeks, which had the appearance of a severe win-
ter, though the frost had been but very little in

comparison to the former ; it has done great ci
'nage amongst the potatoes, oats, &c. &c.

FROM BERMUDA.—Captain WAYNE, o.f
schooner Enterprise, who arrived on the 6th init'
at Savannah, in 10 days, from Bermuda, staid'
that American produce of all kinds was very 1O
Floor was at 30 dollars, and no sale at that t'r'ice'
Sugars, payable in Barter, at 12 dollars, asi
Molasses at 50 cents.

The Paris Papers of Saturday last, which %Olt
due.this morning, have not come to hand.

It is confidently reported that a Negociation
likely to be carried into effect between Spain an'
her revolted colonies, and that the former is rea&
to make such concessions as may be reasonalA
required by the Insurgents, and which- the por
gress of time, and the diffusion of political knott
ledge,. may render 'necessary. Spain, we kno4'
was willing to make such concessions in the
year 1812, - on the suggestion, of the MarquP
WELLESLEY. As a proof of this favourable dis'
position on the part of the Spanish Governments
British Commissioners were actually appointed 11
the time, and were on the eve of, departing frog;
this Country, in order, if possible, to accomplist
the desirable object of a restoration of liar'
mony between the Parties. So far Spain
entitled to commendation and respect for the
amicable arrangements which she was really die''
posed cordially to entertain. But some revolt!"
tionary Agents from France and other Countrieli
the refuse and outcasts of Europe, contrived to
get into the Colonies, and to dispose them to
resist all amicable overtures, and to raise the stand'
and of revolt. These revolutionary Agents have,
unhappily, succeeded too well in their iniquitous
designs, and have heaped fuel on the fire of dis-
sention. There can, however, be little doubt that
the chief part of the Colonists,whatever may besaid
to the contrary, are anxious for a restoration
of harmony-with the Parent' State, and caltnlq
disposed to wait for INDEPENDENCE in the gradual
progress of time, if the future conduct of Sp-aio
should induce them hereafter to wish finally to
throw off all allegiance. For our part, as roe
have waited' the course of events, and not suffered
ourselves to be misled by the vaunting acounts of
revolutionary successes on the one hand, or to
wish that Spain should exercise a harsh system of
Colonial -Government on the other, We lincereli
hope that the Colonists may be rescued from the
incitements of evil spirits, wino seek nothing
but. their own advantage, and would embroil the
whole world if they could raise .thetuselvto
into the possession of wealth avid sothority
are persuaded that nothing will be wanting
on CV
part'of the British Government to give an effective
Support to so desirable and so important a meg'

tion and assistance the object in view may De
happily accomplished.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO

The Letter of LANFRANC, in our Paper of.tbil
day, speaks so emphatically, by its inherent me-
rits, in its own favour, that 'it would; be pre-
sumptuous officiousness in us to recommend it to
the particular attention of our Readers. A bar
pier mixture of sound reasoning and unaffecte4
humour, fully consistent with the dignity and
importaiice of the subject, has rarely been seen,
and we are sure that the whole PROTESTANT
COMMUNITY will rejoice with us, that so able
CHAMPION of our happy Establishment in Churci
and State has entered the lists against POPERY, anti
we feel no small degree of pride that be WO

endeavours to enlighten the Empire to a due know-

sense of the danger which woulq attend any con-
cession Of POLITICAL POWER to those who possess
the fullest latitude of RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.

The valuable article which appeared in out
Paper of the Bth, ON MODERN INNOVATIONS it
THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW, was copied yesterday
into The Leeds Intelligencer ; a Paper which we
have often bad occasion to praise for the loyalty
of its principles, and the ability with which it
supports the best interests of the Country. We
hope, for the honour of the legal profession, that
the article alluded to will be taken into the Pro-
vincial Journals in general, as it is of the utmost
importance to our Country that that profession
should be cleared from the contamination of fraud,
the errors' of ignorance, and the ititrusions of
Empireeism.

MR. FOOT'S. LETTER.—The Times of this .day
bas thought proper to notice the second letter of
Ni'. FooT, which We inserted yesterday, hut with
an invidious want of candour mentions THE SUN

always maniully speak out, and are not afraid of any
of our Competitors. We shall leave Mr FOOT

his letter, but we cannot omit noticing, that
The Times does not deny the fact of having

lie has experienced for several days extreme
agony in his head, from rheumatic attacks. On
Thursday he was afflicted with the severest spasms.
On Sunday, however, when Lord LAUDERDALE
visited his Serene Highness, he was better. The
Noble Earl passed the day (vith him. His Serene
1-highness still preserves the same retired habits ;
be continues inaccessible to all, except a few chosen
friends ; passing his time in deep reflection On the
vicissitudes of this life ; and he calls his late hap-
piness " a transient dream." He certainly de-
parts for the Continent soon,' taking Paris in his
way to Saxony.—plorning Post)
