LATET ANGUIS 1 HERBA.

We yesterday inserted a letter frond the Titular
Archbishop or Dublin, Which of course he expects
to have 'received by simple folk for a disclaimer of
the new edition of his Rheims Testament, and
those .precions Annotations which we have already
in part laid before our Readers. This disclaimer
The Morning-. Chronicle of yesterday stiles " every
Way lvorthy of a Christian Prelate." It speaks
foi• itself'. Differing wholly from the emancipatory
Chronicle, we refer our readers to Tat; SUN of
yesterday for the letter, and shall now indulge
ourselves in a small plucking at this consummate
piece of trickery, " every way Worthy of a" Po-
pish Jesuit.

His Reverence begins by noticing that he has
seen the book in question, " said to be levised,
corrected, and .approved" by himself ; and then
declares that he never approved any edition not
conformable to that of 1791, to which he had af-
fixed a certain formula of his approbation. But
mark—Doctor Troy disclailims nothing but the
approval: he does not deny his ievision or correc-
tion, which most have necessarily preceded th'e
publication ; the approval might have followed it,
awl have been subsequently withdrawn, as some-
what inconvenient. Popery allows these little
subterfuges : witness the disapprobation which time
ci-det ant Romish Board clapped upon the speech
of Cother Doctor—Dromgoole.
The varialice in the Notes of tifese contending
editions is thus cautiously adverted to. Dr. Troy
stiles it an " estmntial" variance, and fully sof7-
dent to justify hi 3 on-approbation ; yet the pious
pastor read them without " considering" a va-
riance so " essential ;" and it is only upon his
".for the first time considering" the outcry which
these Annotations have raised, that he announces
the rejection, which did wit follow upon his
" first " reading. We shrewdly suspect, that his
disapprobation is, not of time doctrines which ha'i-e
been published, but of the clamour which they
have excited. Doctor TrOy put on his reading
spectacles when the book was published; but
Doctor Troy did not put on his considering cap
until the book was reviewed.

Yet farther.—He rejects the Notes, as " harsh
and irritating in expression ;" and some of them
—pray mind!—" some of THEM as false and ab-
surd in " reasoning;"' so, 'according to Doctor
Troy, ALL the harshness and irritation with which
the Notes abound are not„ in his judgment, false-
hood and absurdity. A Papist may be " harsh "
toward an Heretic, and " irritating," and ".on-
charitable;" but it does not therefore follow, that
a Papist is " false and absurd." Doctor Troy
will oblige us by Witting forth, in his next " so-
lemn disclaitner,'"tvhat anti-heretical doctrines are
untrue. We will form our own ideas upon their
harshness; .which may pos.ihly " irritate" our
Protestant Legislature into maintaining oar Pro-
testant Establishment. A little better security
than the oath of 'poet& Troy and his fraternity
will be needed, to prove. that there are no " false-
hood arid absurdity" in fire and faggot.

We must be more astute with a Jesuit than is
requisite with common men. Doctor Troy talks
of the " danger of reading these notes ;" and he
orders his journeymen to " discourage and pre-
vent the circulation of a work tending to lumd
the faithful' astray,'' and so forth. So you see
that we Protestants are, upon Doctor Troy's own
authority, which he will be after disclaiming in a
post or t‘v(i, mere infidels : and, by the bye, it is
not this pat ticular work which they are to decry,
and which misleads the faithful, but " a work ;"
the name and nature whereof are conveniently
left in the dark depths of Jesuitism.
Mr. Coyne of Dublin, who lives under the
Archbishop's own red nose, has; as we stated
yesterday, libsolutely contradicted Dr. Tr'oy
and, in a letter which he hai publicly addressed
to him, affitms, that the Doctor did give his sanc-
tion to the work in question. Mr. Coyne's letter
is too verbose and long for insertion in our Pa-
per ; but it is so circumstantial, that after reading
that and the Doctor's Disclaimer, we may well say,
