FOR THE SUN.

Mr. EDITOR.—The presumption of our ene-
tuies, and the easiness of ourselves, have com-
bined to bring us to that state—which, however
difficult it may seem, is the best state we now can
.
possibly he in.--Popery has not been satisfied
with Toleration.: and we are now come to the
extreme question—whether Popery shall be placed
in our Establishment ; or, whether even Tolera-
tion shell be continued to her ?

I assert, without fear of refutation, that not
only the Protestant Statue Law of England, but
the Catholic Si htnte Law of England, and her an-
cient immemorial Common Law, are incompatible
with the legalization of Popery. To content the
Papists, not only the Statutes at Provisors,of
Prae-
uuunire, and of Supremacy, but the Common Law
whereon these are founded, and which they recite,
must be abrogated by any measure of entire
Emancipation. Mr.. GRATTAN may endeavour to
slip by these troublesome enactments, in the Re.
lief Bill which he has announced :—yet they will
countervail hint, and check him in every clause and,
senteoce.. Neithec, Protestant infatuation nor
Popish fraud can, however, keep them any longer
behind the curtail,. Tae question now leads duly
oc co an alternative, too straight f. 4. policy to
warp, and too narrow for cunning to escape.—
The alternative is this—and I beseech every Pro-
testant to look to it well :

THE Col:410N LAW OP ENGLAND MUST PUT
DOWN POPISH EMANCIPATION OK POPISH EMAN-

CIPATION WILL PUT DOWN THE COMMON LAW OF
ENGLAND. Both cannot exist together :—and the
decision must now be made—which shall cease to
exist. The limits of demand on their side, and of
concession on ours, must now be finally ascer-
tained. The necessity of the discussion originated
with our own folly, in granting to Popery any
thing :—j4istly ,*therefor e, we must take on our-
selves the inc.nvenience, possibly the danger, pro-
bably the contest, of its conclusion ; not postpone
it to the aggravated hazard of our posterity. Its
peril took root with our first indulgence of Po-

eery ; it has enereased with her increasing power :
and the future safety of the Empire now calls for
en? immediate and conclusive determination—
WHETHER POPERY OR PROTESTANTISM' SHALL
POSSESS THE ASCENDANCY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Hitherto, the Papists have proceeded by sap :
they have twisted, and writhed, and wriggled
themselves within the vestibule of our Constitu-
tion :—but the Inner Gate is still closed ; and
they cannot penetrate into the Sanctuary, unless
we open it, or they break it down. The alarm is
given :—they can no longer pick the lock. Never-
theless, they mast be Either admitted inside, or
turned bark into the street.

The alternative of safety and of submission is
still ours. Yet, dangerous as emancipation would
prove, absolute and unconditional, it is not half
so earnestly to be deprecated, as that miserable
species of concession, which offends the Papist,
'while it gratifies not the Protestant, and alienates
the Protest int, while it attaches not the Papist ;
which tralris enemies of both, and friends of
neither ; which argues all the folly of desperation
without its courage, and all the weakness of
cowardice without its caution. In the 'mule of
God, let us not temporize between two dangers,
until we incur the evil of both ! Rather let us
resolve to meet, that we may be able to
escape the other !

The crisis is now arrived—and thankful I am to
the insolence which forced it on !--when Britain
must make her election between Protestant alle-
giance and Popish gratitude. Let it then be
made with unhesitating decision, and maintained
with single consistency ; but away with that va-
cillating policy, which has hitherto, in the gra-
dual progress of emancipation, put forward cun-
ri,,,z distrust as confidence, fear as
lihernitty, vq+iivocation- as candour, and reserva-
tion as coocession.

Viel,l all, or keep all. The Papists themselves
e comvilcd us to the alternative;--to a se-
alterna.ive, rerhaps ; and one, which I had
!noel, rather see—yield all, or resume all.

Ti,rie• is another consideration, Which some
rap:st may be kind enough to "71,plain. Our
Common Law, and the Anti-papal Statutes which
affirm it, all originated while England was Catholic.
-Vet the nova) Vuto, and the securities, to which
the I'apista so vehemently object, arc all in ac-
COI dance with that Catholic Law. What they-
sack, therefore, it not Catholic liberty ; but Popish
power : —that power which our Catholic ancestors
:pouted and di: tied.
Yet, why speak I of those tittles ?--The Revo-:
lotion made our 'throne and our State exclusively
Ptourternt. It altered the inheritance' of that
'Throne, and gave it from the lineal possessor to
to co!!a!eral - branch (a change, be it observed.
not less revolutionary than it it had been trans-
foiled to no toter stronger), (or the purpose,
stud on the CONDITION, of preserving the Pro-
testant of that Revolution i,u all its integrity.
Wt.ile that purl/use is maitraioed, that condi-
tion is absolute. Woe to the traitorous band that
wimid si)ake its security!—Awake, PROTEITANTS:

" Adjourned till Saturday.

" PARIS, MARCH 9.—The Journals have anr
nonnced, that a projet of law respecting the Na-
tional Guards will be immediately presented, and
some of them have given different statements as
to the intended enactment. The questions con-
nected. with this subject will doubtless receive a
solution, conformable to the principles of legiti-
mate and constitutional Monarchy, in the projet
of law, which the Council of the National
Guards is directed to prepare, and which, when
finished, will be submitted to the King. in Coun-
cil. What has been hitherto announced, as form-
ing part of the arrangements of a projet upon this
subject, ought only to be considered as the ex-
pression of individual opinions.—Ploniteur)
" Yesterday Prince Paul Esterhazy, accompanied
by the Baron de Vincent, the Austrian Ambassa-
dor, had an audience of the King.
" A German Journal asserts, that a Grandee of
Spain is commissioned to proceed to Dresden, to
negotiate a marriage between the King of Spain
and a Princess of Saxony.
" M.Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely is expect-
ed immediately at Paris.
" A great number of the newly created Peers
were introduced to the King yesterday.
" Several Petitions, numerously signed, have
arrived from Nantes, Brest, and other towns in
Brittany, praying for the maintenance of the Law
of Elections in its present state. A Petition to the
same effect has also been addressed to the Chamber
of 'Deputies, by 200 inhabitants of the small town
of Viteaux (Cote d'Or.)
" The Duke de Richelieu arrived at Mont-
pellier the 27th ult.
" A horrible murder was committed a few clays
since at Angers. A' butcher cut in two, with a
large knife, a man of whom he was jealous, and
buried not far from his house the two parts of
the body. His dog, however, who had witnessed
.the interment, scratched up the earth and unco-
vered the head; by this means the murder was
discovered, and the murderer taken into custody.

On the 6th inst. at the Court of Assizes at
Rouen, a man named Moncomble was found
guilty 'of poisoning his mother and three sisters,
by means of arsenic. It was only by means of
remedies promptly administered that they escaped
death. Hia motive was to obtaiti possession, by
their deaths, of a rente of 240 francs. He was
sentenced to the punishment of a parricide.
" MARCH 10.-.-Yesterday the King received
the Corps Diplomatique, and afterwards trans.
acted business with the President of the Council
of Ministers.

" The Cook, who after having passed some
years at St. Helena, has obtained permission to
return to France, gives, according to the Belgian
Journals, intelligence of Boonaparte, which does
not accord with all the rep►►rts that were circu-
la►ed respecting the ill health of that Per-
sonage, and the unhealthiness of the Island, when
there was a talk of obtaining from the Congress
permission to remove the prisoner to another
fortress. If we may believe his cook, Bnonaparte
