THE SUN.

SOLEI4 QUIS DICERE FALSUIII AUDEAT?

LONDON,
SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1821.

Paris Papers of Wednesday last reached us

this morning, but they contain no important intel-
ligence respecting Naples. General NUCENT is
gone to Laybach, at the express invitation, it is
said, of his SICILIAN MAJEspr, whom he is to
accompany to Naples.—The report of General
131Axcnr, Duca- di CASALANZA, having gone to
that capital on an extraordinary mission, is not
confirmed.
Private 'Letters from Augsburg state, that
the accession of Russia to the projects of Austria
has given birth to many serious and important
conjectures. It is repotted that a Declaration
of the-Allied Sovereigns relative to the affairs of
Spain has been transmitted to the Spanish Go-
vernment, but it is much doubted whether this
Declaration will be received by the Cortes. From
Madrid we learn that at 8 o'clock on the night
of the 15th ult. an extraordinary Courier arrived
there with dispatches from Laybach. The Coun-
cil of Ministers was immediately assembled, and
it is presumed these dispatches contained propo-
sitions of the highest importance. There is,
however, every reason to believe that this Cou-
rier-was not the bearer of the ultimatum of the
Congress relative to Spain ; for we perceive by
the Journal de Lyon that a Russian Colonel, on
his road from Laybach to Madrid, passed through
Lyons on the 23d, with the Declaration, it was
reported, of the Allied SO-vereigns.. The. King
of SPAIN still continues indisposed, and it is ima-
gined he will go to Salcedon, according to' the
advice of his Physicians. Madrid. is perfectly

quiet.
The plan of an Italian Confederation appears
to be nearly settled. The greatest difficulty to
be overcome is to reconcile the preponderating
influence of Austria with 'the political indepen-
dence of the Italian Princes. The Cabinet of
Turin is stated to have presented several notes
on this subject, the contents of which have in-
duced Prince nETTERNICH to give fuller expla-
nations respecting the basis on which this Confe-
deration is to be established.

To convince the Protestant World how much
reason there is at present for a general vigilance
and union, under the present awful circumstances
of the Country, shall be our endeavour, in the
short period which is allowed us before the se-
cond reading of the Bill to admit Papists to the
Legislature and the higher offices of the State.—
We think the Protestant Community have great
cause for complaint iu not being liberally or
fairly treated. In thefirst place, all the individuals
who are disposed to point out the dangers to be
apprehended from this great inroad on the` Con-
stitution of the Country are not heard, and, se-
condly, a period of the session has been chosen
for the discussion of the subject, when so many
Members for England are necessarily absent at-
tending their duty at the Spring Assizes in the
administration of the civil and criminal jus-
tice of the Country ; and who, under such cir-
cumstances are, we believe, exempt from any
call of the House ; and, thirdly, the Pro-
testants of Ireland will be, from the short-
ness of the interval, precluded. all opportunity
of presenting their petitions to the House
of Commons before the second reading
of the Bill on the 16th instant. If such is
the behaviour of the Advocates of the Catholics
in the dawning of their hopes for power, what
will be their conduct when they are in the full
possession of it ! The triumphant tone ex-
pressed on the result of the recent divi-
sion carries with it no consolation to the Pro-
testant, but exhibits all the features of Popery
—which piques itself in destroying and extirpat-
ing the enemies of God—whilst the Protestants,
regarding none as the enemies of God on account
of error, aim only at their own rational defence :
but there is '4 manifestlyau inequality of force in
CC these two species of religion ; their genius is

cc essentially opposite; ProteStantisth calmly pre-
" sents herself to the tason:, Popery seizes thu
" passions of mankind and hence modern Po-
" pert', set against modern Protestantism,. is in
" danger of overwhelming it:"---The justness of
these remarks is shown by recent occurrences.—
We have no personal pique to our Catholic bre-
thren ; we know many of them to be, in pri-
vate life, amiable 'and. respectable characters.
We are far from presuming to deny even the me-
rit of their intentions in a religious regard, for
there-is no doubt but good intentions may exist
in every religious sect ; but we must not allow
any modern notions of liberality to prevent us
from laying open the genius and tendency of
their belief. We are satisfied with the conces-
sions already made to the Catholics, but we can-
not consent to proceed further, knowing the
RULING principle of their Church, and, there-
fore, we shall freely explain, and urge on the at-
tention of our readers, the dangers that threaten
the country. The resolutions submitted to the
House by Mr. PLUNKETT are evidently framed,
to allow him, should an opportunity present
itself, of endeavouring to carry the whole ques-
tion, and to remove all obstacles to the
admission of the Catholics to power, and •
thus to subvert the great principles of the Bri-
tish Constitution, and those great National Acts
which secured the Monarchy of these realms i❑
the Protestant House of Brunswick. It is an in-
controvertible constitutional maxim, " that the
Throne, the Parliament, and the Government of
this Country, are fundamentally Protestant." To
this principle, pervading every part of Govern-
ment in the' State as well as in the Church, and
operating upon all the sects and separatists, a;
well as upon our excellent Ecclesiastical Esta-
blishment, the ruling and religious principle of a
Roman Catholic is directly hostile,; and we arc
firmly persuaded that no oaths or engagements-,
which have been proposed or suggested, will af-
ford a security against the operations of that si
lent, but poweifirl influence, which will be always:
attendant upon the opinions and principles of Ro—
man Catholics when in possession of legislative
and high political power, and which cannot fail
to have a Most deteriorating effect upon a Govern-.
meat essentially Protestant ; and so far from
the concession of legislative and high political,
power being calculated to allay irritation, and
promote the security and strength of the country,
we are persuaded that it will lead to further de-
munds on the part of the Roman Catholics, and
to jealousy and .discontent on the part of the'
Protestants. And should the measure be
adopted, we anticipate, from the temper and.-
state of parties, those bitter controversies=
in religion, and those feuds in politics, which.
unhappily prevailed anterior to the Revolution.
of 1688, and which may lead to consequences the-
most fatal to the peace and prosperity of the Em—
pire:—We cannot conclude these observations‘
without expressing our indignation at the mis-
chievous and indecent . attempt at intimidationL
which was thrown out by the daily organ of the•
Whigs yesterday, in allusion to the rumoured:
visit of an High and Illustrious Personage to the'
Sister Kingdom.

FOREIGN TRADE.—This Committee did not:
sit yesterday, but will meet on Monday next,.
when the whole of the evidence will be taken
into consideration. What will be the nature of
their report, or the conduct of the Government
upon it, we cannot anticipate, otherwise than from.
those rumours which are generally thrown out ta-
reel the pulse of the public on any measure which
there is a desire to carry. Yesterday a great"
depression was observed" not otily on the East'
Country Walk, but at the Coal Market and other--
places of resort of the Shipping interest, from
an apprehension it 'fas the intention of God-
-vernment to recommend' a' ?eduction of telt,
shillings per load of. the present duties on F0:-
reign timber, and to propose a duty of equal
amount per load to be imposed on Colonial Tim-.
ber, whilst it was mentioned by others that the'
duty was to be 20 shiilinzs, per load both ways..
Which ever it is, it will be equally ruinous to •
the British Ship Owner, and he must with—
draw altogether from the Colonial timber
trade. There is but one opinion on this point,
among impartial and disinterested men,. and .
it is that Which we have stated '; and we
regret to observe it is not received with that
consideration and attention which is due to-
it.; but the time will . arrive when the Country
will have to lament this.
,total disregard of its
best policy. Such was not the conduct of Mr.'
PITT, who having been prevailed upon reluc-
tautly to acquiesce in the beginning of the
French War in deviating from the former
system of the Country, afterwards candidly
acknowledged his error, and on his return to
office in 1804 declared '4 that subsequent cir-
cumstances had convinced him most satisfacto-
rily of the infinite importance to the Country of
getting rid of the relaxations which had taken
place, and of returning at the earliest opportu-
nity to its former policy." Had Mr. PITT been..
spared to his Country, we are satisfied thzt Yee
would haVe steadily retraced his steps, and have
adhered to the Navigation and Colonial System•
But under the circumstances of the moment, and
the unaccountable conduct which is observed
towards the Shipping Interest on the present oc-
casion, no alternative is left to them but to re-
new their applications to the Legislature through
the medium of their Representatives in Parlia-,
ment, who will, we have no doubt, give theM
every attention and support in their power.

At the Levee on Friday last his Grace. the
Duke of BEnvono presented the Address to his
MAJESTY hall the Freeholders and Burgesses 01
Petersfield, expressive of their loyalty and at-
tachment to his MAJESTY'S Person, and repre-
senting the •extretne degree of pressure under
which they art • labouring in consequence
of the
existing agricultural distress, tlnd the present
state of the representation of their Borough.
