EARL GrttY.

A LETTER to the Right lion. Earl GREY, on certain
CHARGES advanced by his Lordship in his SPEECH at
the late COUNTY MEETING in NORTHUMBER-
LAND, against the CLERGY of the COUNT V of MR-
HAM.—By Rev. H. PIIILLPOTTS, ALA. Re,tor of Stan-
hope.

It was our intention to, take an earlier notice
of this well written pamphlet, but the pressure
of Parliamentary Debates haS, prevented us.
The.public has been indebted to the Rev. Author
for-several other ..rorks that have raised his name
into well merited. esteem. The illiberal eettec-
'ekes which were.. thrown upon the clergy:in ge-
neral, but Tartitulerly those in ,the Diocese of
Durham, by' Lord G It EY and Mr. LAMBTO-Nat a
late. Meeting :in that County, have drawn forth
this pamphlet, which is. written in a meek •but
' manly temper, and- which exposes the inconsis-
tency of his Lordship's declarations at that Meet-
ing and in another Place; so pointedly that his
opinions in . any. place seem but little entitled to
'regard, 'We learn from that respectable provin-
cial Journal, . The Durham Advertiser, that this
spirited tract has -excited a great -sensation in
-Durham and its neighbourhood, and we doubt
not that it has produced,full conviction also that
the modern Whigs are-advocating doctrines, mere-
ly for the attainment of of which oh-
Niously tend to the destruction of our happy
Establishment in Church and State, and conse-
quently to the ruin of the Country. The fol-
lowing extracts frounthe pamphlet refer to -Lord
GREY'S attack on the Clergy of the Diocese of
Durham, in consequence of- their Requisition to
the Archdeacon, and Address to His
,Dlajesty,
occasioned by the Requisition to the High'She
'riff, and Address supported by his Lordship,
in which the Clergy of the County were -impro-
iperty included as part of the subscribers
You are, first, pleased to make some allu-
-tiotts`to the Requisition,- on which our Meeting
was called. These • Reverend Gentlemen
think it necessary to publish a disclaimer, in or-
tier to rescue the Body of the Clergy from the
disgrace of calturring in the sentiments of the
]ate County Meeting at Durham.'- My Lord,
when you next do us the honour Of quoting our
words, permit me to beg that you will quote them
folly and'fairiya The disgrace fforn which we
were anxious to rescue the body of the Clergy
was, that of concurring 'in a measure which we
conceived to •be contrav to the. sentiments they
entertained? We did not charge disgrace, gene-
rally, on those who concurred in your Address.
They whose sentiments it really expressed,•may
have been not disgraced by concurring in it.—
But, surely, your Lordship, who so Ibudly des
niands plain and open dealing frOm us, will not
deny that the Clergy would have been disgraced.
if they had sate down in timid silence, under
the stigma a being formally • made-parties to a
- measure, in which they not only did not concur,l
but which was, in their opinion, most unreason-J
able and mischievous in itself. -
" It seems, however, that ' instead of flying
-into holes and corners, and secret conclaves, we
ought to meet those from whom we differ, face to
face.' I will not insult your -Lordship, by sup-
purpose, than to catch the momentary plaudits of
your audience: I only admire tine perfect gravity.
with which you make it, and talk of free discus-
sion at Durham County Meetings, as if your were
really in earnest. And yet, my Lord, well as
you act the part, it is one which by no means be-
comes you. This petty artifice of daring an ad-
versary to combat, where you know he cannot
meet you on equal terms, ought to be reserved
for those whose 'ambition can look no higher,
than to a successful display on the hustings. You,
wy Lord, were formed by nature, and by disci-
pline, for far better things.
" Froni censuring the acquisition, you pro-
ceed to ou.• Address itself,—' this most contemp
tible and abusive Address, and as foolish as it-is
inalent,'—one, in short, for which you deem it
necessary to testify the sincerity of your contempt
' by railing at it -and at its authors, during the
larger half of a very long Speech delivered in a
different County, and before persons who, if it
fie indeed contemptible, could feel no further in-
terest abort it, than as it had too evidently dis-
terbed the serenity of your Lordship's temper.—
These persons wish to imply that the Meeting
at Durham. assumed the right •of-speaking for
others; it assumed no such right; a Meeting can
express the opinion of none' but. those-who attend
it.' -Pardon me, my Lord, if I here avow an
opinion more favourable to the rights of a regular
' County Meeting, like that-of Durham, than seems
ta be in the contemplation 'of your Lordship. I
venture to think, that if the High Sheriff calls a
Meeting of the Nobility,; Gentry, -Clergy, and
- Freeholders; to take into consideration any par-
ticular question,-thOse who attend at his sum-
'mons, have a right to send forth the result of their
deliberations as the judgment of the ' Nobility,
Gentry, Clergy, and Freehaiders,ron such ques-
tion. Had -your Meeting at Durham tonfined it-
self to the one subject announced in the Requi-
sitioncaedin the Notice by which it was called,
namely, tie measures pursued for the Degrada-
tion of the Queen, neither the Clergy, nor any
-other class of Freeholders, would have had a right
to complain of being included in the general de-
scription of the Meeting. They might, if they
had thought fit,-separately express their dissent
from the decision ; but they could not justly say,
that they had been improperly named as part of
the body. which had concurred in-it. Your Lord-
ship,wfll perceive, therefore, that you are mis-
taken in supposing that we make the complaint
which you attribute. to us.
" No! my Lord, the only complaint we made
was of a very different kind ; we complained
that a Meeting called for a specific purpose, and
competent therefore to pronounce with tine autho-
rity of all who were called '(whether they at-
tended or not), on what related to that purpose:,
had exceeded its due and prescribed limits ; had
assumed the right of answering for the opinions
of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Free-
holders of this County, on very grave matters in
no way included in the proper, business of the
day. On these extrinsic subjects, my Lord, the
persons colleCted in tine Court at Durham were
Pot a County Meeting; they .y(ere no more than

so many individuals with no other rights, powers,
or authority, than any other set of individuals as-
sembled, or not assembled, at any other time, or
place. Our Clergy. Meeting, on the .3d inst. had
as good a right, that is no right at all, as you and
your friends od\the 13th ult. to answer to our
common Sovereign for the opinions of the rest of
the County on matters which they were never in-
vited to consider.
" But your Lordship says, They complain
that matters had been, introduced not relevant to
the subject of the Meeting ; but why not rele-
vant ? Was the Meeting to be confined to the
fact of the Queen's treatment, and we not to be
allowed to chew that the general discontent had
been greatly aggravated by the proceedings on the
Bill against her Majesty the Queen ? Will they
deny the truth of this ? We complain that the
country suffers a great and ruinous depression in
all the branches of its industry, both agricultural
and commercial. Will they deny the fact ?"
&c. &c. It is really no pleasing object to see a
great and powerful mind thus floundering in a
vain attempt to rescue itself with credit from an
error into which it had too hastily plunged. My
Lord, you cannot get out of it. Fret your noble
nature as you please, weave all your web of so-
phistry if you will, still the awkward blunder
stares you in the; face. You had no right,. and
now you have been reminded of you knoW-,
that you had no right, to mix other high matters

with the question about the Queen. The only
manly course was openly to admit the fault, not

vainly to endeavour to brow-beat those who
charered you with it. You have, by implication, ad-
mitted it : for you have cautiously abstained from
mixing up in your subsequent Address at Mor-
peth, (which is the very echo of a part of your
Address at Durham,) any topic, but that which
was previously announced in your Requisition.—
We are vain enough to think, my Lord, that it
was the Clergy of this County who taught you
that lesson of forbearance."

, After pointing out some of the particulars so
irrelevantly introduced into the Durham County
Address, Mr. PIIILLPOTTS says :--
" You are next pleased to represent us as 4 at-
tributing all the existing discontent to the licen-
tiousness of the press'—a mis-statement, difficult
to be accounted for on any supposition, which I
could willingly admit. I say this, my Lord, be-
cause I should be, sorry to believe, that your
Lordship had. intentionally misrepresented our
language, in order to give increased effect to
your bold insinuation, that we are C advocates
for encroachments on the liberties of our Coun-
try.'

, "My Lord, we have said no more against the
licentiousness of the Press, than Mr. Brougham
and others of your Lordship's political friends
have often said, and unhappily have often proved
in their.place in Parliament. Instead of attri-
buting all to the licentiousness of the Press, we
expressly attributed much to the rashness of
headstrong declaimers, heedless or ignorant of
the tendency of their own folly.'—much to 4 the
apathy of wiser and better men,'---smuch to
'.every evil principle' which can shoot forth in
rank luxuriance under the general supineness of
1, • +I, • .1,4-,
short,in trie—'l&lt tlYtisti47..ss ot!' ress wa:ody
one (a most powerful and most appalling one,
indeed, but still only one) of several causes to
which we ascribed what we see as plainly, and
perhaps deplore as sincerely as your Lordship
does, a too prevailing' spirit of discontent,—we
might add, an impatience Of all lawful control,
a thirst for untried,- undefined, and undefinable
change.
" But while some unknown cause has thus blinded
your Lordship to what we do say, some other
cause-, equally unknoWn, has made you surpris-
ingly quick-sighted in discerning what we do
not say. Our Address is charged with being the
worst of the worst description of Addresses,—a
condemnation which, coming from your Lordship,
might have-been borne by us with silent equani-
mity, had it not been accompanied with this al-
ledged reason,—because it contains most unjust
and unfounded charges. against the people, and
upon-those charges advocates and invites further
invasions on the rights and liberties of the peo
Pie'

" May I entreat your Lordship to produce the
passages, on vliich you found these assertions.—
Is it the following ? ' Widely as the contagious
frenzy has spread, we cannot doubt the soundness
of the main body of this great nation.'- Who, my
Lord, in your Lordship's contemplation, are the
people ? Not, it seems, ' the main body of the
nation,'— but some portions of it, those particular
portions which the Durham Clergy have made
the subject of their' accusation,--in other' words,
evil-minded ,men who revile and misrepresent all
the measures of Government, and thoSe who are
seduced by them to cast off their allegiance,'—
the deluders and the deluded,---the vain dissemi-
nators of mischievous fooleries at public meet-
ings, and those, whom such weak sophistry can
mislead,—the teachers and the disciples in the'
schools of blasphemy and sedition,—the abettors
and the accomplices in secret corispiraCies and
open rebellion,—the CarliJes and Woolers,. the
Thistlewoods and Brandreths,—these are ' the'
people,' these are they of
,whom your Lordship
proclaims yourself the indignant advocate, these
are they' from whose injured innocence you ' re-
pel the calumnies of us Addressers against your
Countrymen."

Theelearned writer then most ably exposes the
shallow reasoning of Earl GREY, as to, the ex-
pression in the Clergy Address, that " we have
seen with feelings which we forbear to express,
'men of exalted rank, and of distinguished talents,
fostering anil stimulating the discontents of the
multitude," &c.
We regret that our limits will not admit of our
quoting in detail that part of the letter which
contrasts his Lordship's conduct in the House of
Peers, with his speech at Durham. In the for-
mer place his Lordship " guarded his vote in her
Majesty's favour with such qualifications, such
express and tacit admissions, as effectually to ex-
clude him from the number of those who could
be supposed to assert her innocence." At Dur-
ham, his Lordship condescended to gratify the
worst passions of the populace, by insinuating
that " the majority- of the Peers were actuated

by the most unworthy prejudices or 'Sordid. i•dte-
rests."
After commenting on his Lordship's declara.
,tion, that he Would not accept office, without
being enabled to effect a complete 'change in the
present system of government, the Reverend Au-
thor thus concludes :
" But I must return to what your Lordship
further says respecting the Durham Clergy.
Having exhausted the copious stores of your own
eloquence in railing at us, you have recours'e to a
quarter which, indeed, indeed, my Lord, ought
not to have been approached for any such pUrpose.
Your Lordship, I well know, is in the habit
or reading your Bible for better purposes than
to enable you to point a sarcasm, or to raise the
shouts of a mob. And even, were it not so,
there is something in your high faculties, which
ought to disdain the occupation of furnishing fresh
matter of apology for a future Hone. And yet
it is in a speech of your Lordship's, that we read
the following words,—‘ When those gentlemen
assemble in their secret conclave, it is evident,
to use the words of the Psalmist, that their com-
muning is not for peace," but they imagine deceit-
ful words against those who are quiet in the land.'
—(Applause.)
"My Lord, our communing is for peace. We
,are as sincere in thinking the public peace of the
land, the private peace of our hearths and homes,
the peace of innumerable souls, endangered by
the wild spirit of anarchy and impiety, which is
now raging around us—ive are as sincere in
thinking that that spirit is encouraged (unin-
tendingly I doubt not) by the speeches of your
Lordship and of some of your friends—as you and
they can be in dealing forth your abuse on Mi-
nistars or venting • your patriotic indignation
against 47Loyal Addressers.' We think that
peace cannot be restored, or maintained unless
the lovers of peace are alive to the dangers, and
zealous in the cause of their country—of its an-
cient institutions, its ancient principles, its mo-
rality, and its religion. This, my Lord, is
our fixed and rooted sentiment ; and while the
character of the times continues unhappily what
it is, we shall not scruple to raise our warning
voice, if others will not do it, and to expose the
enemies of peace, even though your Lordship
should be found in the number.

" But we are not the only persons whom the
words of the Psalmist are brought to describe—
We imagine deceitful words against those who
are quiet in the land.', Quiet in the land. Why
your Lordship and your friends are now the
prime agitators in these northern parts. Be the
spirit of modern Whiggism what it may,—a spi-
rit of health, or one of a very different descrip-
tion,—be its intents 'wicked" or charitable if

it is hi any degree an honest. spirit it will at least
not ask us to call it a quiet one. A llEw?lation
must have already begun, and have begun in the
understanding and reason of Englishmen, before
we can bring ourselves to acknowledge the
peaceful politics of Mr. Lambton, or the dove-
like demeanour of Earl Grey.
"My Lord, I will detain you no longer. Let
me only add, that the very peculiar tone of your
Lordship's conduct and language on this occasion
uaIGUIL. 41114 G 1
it, or not. To be supposed incapable of contend-
ing with your elognenct, is a reproach which we
could easily have borue; but; to be branded with
the imputation of slander, falsehood, calumny,
and malice, affected higher interests than we were
at liberty, even if we had been inclined, to ne-
glect. We have brought these rude invectives
upon us, by honestly avowing our sentiments on
the great public question, whether Government,
or -the enemies of GovernMent, be more justly
chargeable with the unhappy disorders of the
tames. What is there unbecoming in our making
this avowal ?

44 That we have nothing to do with any pOliti-
, cal events or opinion 3, your Lordship will be too
prudent to affirm. You well know, that the Laws
and Constitution of En-gland not only recognize,
but by special and positive enactment bestow on
the Clergy, as such, a share in the highest civil
privileges of their fellow-subjects. You are too
conversant in the theory of liberal sentiments not
to acknowledge that the posiession of privileges
carries withit a corresponding duty ; and that
no duty Can be,more- imperative on every mem-
ber of a free state, than to declare his sentiments
firmly and openly, whenever tho public interest
appears to him to demand it. Thus far lam sure
we shall agree. We shall alsoagree, in admitting
on both sides that the station, or profession of
particular individuals, may'impose peculiar re-
atrictions, or demand especial observances, in the
exercise of their civil rights :—that a Clergyman,
for instance, when advocating his opinions, is
bound by the sacredness of his function,—and a
Peer by the dignity of his order,—to more than
common regard (I will not say for truth, or jus-
tice, but) for those decencies, and courtesies,
which neither of them ran abandon with impunity.
Which of us has, on ihe present occasion, most
faithfully observed these restrictions, is a question
on which we should not agree ; I wili not there-
fore attempt to examine it. But, for myself, 1
fearlessly throw this, and every other part of my
case, on the candour and impartial judgment of
my countrymen: at their hands, 1 know I shall
receive an honest verdict, I hope also, a good de-
liverance."

Antiquarian researches are now pursued with
great diligence throughout France ; and much
benefit to History and-the Arts is predicted from
this new activity. The Academy of Inscriptions
is overwhelmed with memoirs ; and gold medals
are presented by the Minister of .the interior to
the writers of those which are deemed most valu-
able. Great encouragement is also given to the
study of the Greek language, which, during the
revolutionary era, had fallen almost entirely into
disuse. The Colleges are now filled with pro-
fessors of the highest abilities.
The 85th regiment, which was destined to
Malta, has been counter-ordered, and the 18th
regiment, Colonel GRAVES, has been ordered
to embark at Cork for that destination. The
10th regiment, whi.ch is to be relieved and re-
turn to England, has been abroad upwards of
twenty years.

Paris Papers up to the Bth instant, inclusive,
have arrived. A new ordinance relating to the
interior Po: ice of the Royal Palaces is in con-

teuarlation, and 'one of the arrangements, it is
said, has been determined on. Two Adjutants,
with a party of watchmen, have been appointed,
and apartments; are fitting tip for their reception
on the Place du Carrousel. The Chamber of
Deputies was occupied again on the 7th in re-
ceiving the Reports of the Committee of Yeti-
tions. In reporting on the Petition of M. CIIRE-

There seems now to ire littkdOuht as towhat
are the intentions of the Allied Powers, or what
will be the• probable issue of the approaching
hostilities between Austria and the Revolutionists
of Naples.' The intelligence from the Continent
which reached town yesterday 'announces, that a
part of the Austrian Army, consisting of 60,000
men, broke froM.its,quarters on the right bank of
the Po, on the 29th ult. and were on the march•
to Naples. There was a report i❑ the City this
mor►►ing, that accounts had arriVed announcing
the actual commencement of hostili-ties.. This re-
port depressed the funds for short time, but they
soon reeniered as no authentic confirMation
had been received. That the nemberS of C.,
Holy Alliance have deeply considered the step
which they are taking cannot be doubted, bt t
the issue is not in their hands; and, powerftilas
they are, they, should consider also the. effect
which that step• may prod►rce within their own
dominions, otherwise they may raise a storm
which they may find more difficultY in allaying:
than in subduing the political Reformers acid uii=
litary Revolutionists of Naples.

• Advices were on Saturday received from Italy,
stating the important fact that the main division
of the Austrian army, consisting of 60,000 mer,
broke up from its quarters on the right;bank of
the Po, on the 29th ult. with orders to march on
Naples. The manifesto issued on the occasion is
said Ao announce That the invasion is .made, not
l)y Austria as a separate. Power, but as a mem-
ber, and in the nathe, of the Holy Alliance. On
that basis all intention is disclaimed of entering

be imposed, as the ultimatum of the Anita

Powers, has been dispached to Naples, for tl e;""
consideration of Parliament, who will be allowed
a very short period, some letters say only two days,
to deliberate on the proposition. Meantime the
Austrian army will advance to Rote; to receive
the answer of the Neapolitan Parliament. The
