PROVINUAL

PETERSFIELD, JULY I.—Y,.sterday evening the
favourite Comedy of .John Bull was performed at
our Theatre, under th- .I'hironage of the late
Candidates for the Borough, Mr. ATCHESON aird
Col CAMAC, and the house was early filled with
numetoti• and most respectable audience. The
performets exerted them,elees with
.great ?pith,
and we have seldom seen a play better acted in
all its parts in a Provincial Theatre than John
Bull was last night at ours. Rose RS, as Balgrud-
dery, was extremely happy in pourtrayi;ig the
naiveté and honest. heart of the Landlord of
the IttJ Cow; and MILLER, front the Saltinairy
Theatre. was a vet y ex client representative of the
fashionable Tom Shupton. IVALLAHER, as Pere-
grine mid MoaGar, , -to the characters of Dan and
Si, Simon Rochdale, were also very justly ap-
plaud MoRTIMVII, as the humane and honest
Job Thornberry, is deserving of particular notice;
Mi• NioRGAN, in performing the two parts of
Lady Caroline and Mrs. Brulgruddery, which were
allotted to het in consequence of the indisposition
of Mrs. (daLE, %hewed that she was equally car-
-4 rvpresen,ing the lively thoughtless wo-
m,,„ 0/ t.ish.on, and the aittul petulant wife of
Deanießrulgt uddery. TLe farce at Fortune's
or a Ploughman turned Lord," followed, and Mott -
c.o.'s comic powers were never more happily dis-
played th.n in the character of Robin Roughhead,
which he pertormed with- very great spirit and
judgment. The other characters were also well
and ably fincd ; and we hairc no doubt that the
Managers will be honoured with that patronage,
which they so well deserve, dining the remainder
of their short season at Petersfielli.

PRI ENfls to your KING and COUXTRY, IMO Wi
The Virtues that prevail below

Are registered above,
And hence the rites ye duly pay,
To hail un Earth my Day,
Are inatii'd as patriut lose.

To lead :Mankind from Emir's maze
And spread around rruth's steady rays,

I bade ',TvE SUN arise
Ind )e who HOW assume my name,
To give due sanction to the claim,
That Mouitt. Ons should prize.

For then its beams will ne'er be shed
To glitter on the guilty head,
Unless the guilt to shew ;
The friend of VIRTUE and the STATE,
It ne'er will gild the worthless Greati
But still for Nlerit glow.

Alas ! among the Great how few
To Viarun and the STATE are true;

. Themselves are all they prize:
Int'rest alone their smiles can gain,
But Merit seeks those smiles in Vain,
And unregarded dies.

As friends to Me protect Tint SU',
It then to latest times may run,.
And spread a vatri,,t flame:
Hence all who know its pure design,
And yet to aid its course decline,
Are PITTITEs but in name.

Not so that firm and zealous Man,t
Who, conscious of my rightful plan,
Enrol I'd your Loyal Band,
That BRITAIN: Might maintain her state,
As no•.s', pre-eminently great,
And lasting as her Laftd.

BRITAIN, I raid Tin,. Sus for thee,
'To keep thee loyal, safe, and free,

Unclouded may it soar !
Oh ! guard it as a fund Bequ,st,
Of patriot lore the ding test,
FOR I COULD LVAVE, NU MORE.

MINISTERIAL UNION.

(No. IL)

Erntort,—The Diviue Awbor of our 1-1,31 y
Religion has told us, that " a House t';vided.

glinst itself cannot stand ;" and 1 Can go to no

higlicr Atithorhy to enforce the prin irlt, of LTnion

upon those who rule over 418 flint his "‘IAJESTY'S
Ministers, in prilibewortby "t the vein-

rable Sovereign we have so recently lost, and in
consonance with the generous sentitheriiti of him
who now reign, over us—for this candour obliges
me to ackno4ledre in ,:ontempt of all charges of
Courtly flattery—•-si‘nuld have determined not tei
make the Catholic Question a Cabine measure,
or a bar to general toleration, is liber,l even in
an age of liber*lity 3 but, as I am well ennvinced
that no Member of that Cabinet, nor any of the
higher ranks in office, can be friei,d:y to the ex-
tent of Catholic detnands, so must I presume to
urge an opinion, that what is only real 'auo
ge-
nuine liberality in those -Tigrters, wising from
conscientious motives, !bay vet be extremely
gerous in its consequences, in quartets where
legislative decision must take place, inasmuch as
many that would support an at knovvledg,ed CaLi-
net meaitire, may conceive the question as one
of no high political import, and may there fore be
led by carelessness, by party, nr by a silly desire
for temporary voimhtify, to give a vote that will
shortly shake the Protestant Establidiment, and
the Protestant Succession, to their basis
The Catholics have repeat,div said, " Give us
this, and we shall be satisfied!" But Lite grant
of that this" has only been a prelude to further'
demand, and with increased twee of argument
and of solicitation. It is but recently that the
Catholics have declared that nothing short of it
complete purgation of the Statute Hook will sa-
tisfy them ; and they have most pointedly necht-
ed that they will never be silent weld e.ieryti,rna
upon them shall be done away from the it cords
of ottr jurisprudence.
Now, Sir, there is an Act of Parlimbent which
says, that no Papist shall sit upon the rirone.—
That is a stigma, and not.t continue vbilst the
Act remains in fierce I There is snot her o hide
says, that no Papist shall he Lord Chancellor,
to have !he keeping of the KING'S conscience, and

to have more than the halt, or at least nearly
halt, of the- Protestant Church Patronage of
England I Then, again, there is an Act r, hich
provides against Papists being Heads of Col-
leges or of Universities. But to go no tura
ther, are .we prepared to concede these points
which, if there is any meaning in words,
' the Papists have declared they will not be s,rti,fied
without I Is it not most important, Sir, that
there should he not only a teal hut an apparent
Union among the administrators of the Executive
Government in opposition to such claims ? In
short, the question is now come to this—Shall
we stop now in our concessions, or shall we con-
cede every t h ing but the very things we wish to
retain, and in so doing give up the power of re-
tention out of our own hands to men who have
declared that they only want political power, for
the purpose of furthering- their own religions ob-
jects—to men who refuse to acknowledge Ilia
Crown as head of their Church, or even to ad-
mit of the slightest interference of the Crown in
regard to their Chords., whilst they themselves
claim places in the Legislature that would give
to them the power of making Laws, not only for
the Protestant Hierarchy, but even for the iv hole
of the Dissenters who are now advoca'ing Catho-
lic Claims, upon the futile policy of 'het by s.ip-
porting their own, mod of doing away with all
Tests whatsoever I It is trite that a recent Peti-
tion or Address from tie Catholics of England
atf,-ets to deny, or rather to make weak indivi-
duals believe that they deoy the Papal
macy in this Country, stating that the " Civil
Sword" is the Ktso's alone, and that they wish
not to see it wielded by any other; bot, Sir, we
must not forget that the PoPE has a Religious Sword,
and has had also Holy Firebrands in this Cmiii
and we neither wish to be bled by the one, nor to
be burnt into faith by the other.
That every Member of his MAJESTY'S Cabinet
is a firm friend to the Protestant A*cenclancy---
tor to be secure we must be ascendant—and would
manfully oppose any of those extreme cases, even
though one or te;to may be of opinion that some
further concessions may he granted, I cannot he-
sitate for a moment to believe; hot what I wish
to impress upon their minds is, that if a sttict
union would exist in the moment of necessary
,opposition to Catholic Demands, to prevent theta
from becoming Commands, that moment is now
arrived, and that he, whose conscience and liberal
feelings would urge him to an isolated Conces-
sion,- may aril oright to resist all further Conces-
sion when points arc no longer isolated, but
forming- closely interwoven links in the chain of
contemplated. Catholic Supremacy and Thraldom!
I am well aware, Mr. Editor, that it has
beets urged, in a certain place, by a distils-
guished individual, for the talents of whose
head, and the virtues of whose heart, even though.
personally unknown to me, I have a high respect
and esteem—that the Catholics virtually enjoy at
the present moment, all that they claim or can

possibly enjoy under a Protestant Establishment,
and therefore . that the granting of these 62 img
by legislative enactment would only be a legal ac-

kno,tledgment of what is already possessed.
Granting even that position, sir, l would will
say that the legal acknowledgment of wi;lt is Vi;-

tuatly possessed vou?d oily serve as a sreppi►)g;-

stone to more than they could with safety possess,
for the security of a Pi otestaot Establishment.

If the Catholics would be content with the vir-

Ina! post,tssion of that which they now enjoy, r

should be the 1.,.t person to disturb then) in its
eojoymen,• But Sir, I shall go further; and in
a future commut,icalion I trust that I shall be

able -to prose ;ttat they now actually enjoy more
of the real blessings of liberty under a Prot estatg
Establishment, than could possibly tall io their
lot omit r Catholic, Ascendancy, I speak gene•
