SIR J. C. FIIPPISLEY.

To Tar. WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR, ALDF,RNIEN;
CAPITA L BURGESSES, AND FRE,I;NI EN OF TIE?,
BOROUGH OF SUDBURY.

GENTLEMEN,--4t is generally believed that Par-
liament is on the eve of dissolution. During a
period of 29 years, I have been connected by in-
timate and honourable relations with your Bo-
rough, in the high and delegated tro4t of one of
its Representatives in Parliament, or a 3 Recorder
of the Corporate Body. I cannot flatter myself,
however, that, under the disadvantage of absence,
and opposed, probably, by the active personal
canvass .of many unexceptionable candidates, my
return to Parliament could be reassured ; nor, in-
deed, with the recollection of the circumstances
attendant upon the only subject in which any
material difference of opinion has existed between
a large portion of my constituents and myself, is
the spot of Europe from which I date my present
Address the best selected to obliterate my recol-
lection, or to soothe their difference of opinion.
-If this difference of opinion respecting the
claims of our fellow-subjects of the communion
of Rome has been the source of many regrets, I
have, nevertheless, the satisfaction to remember,
that the explanations of my parliamcntary con-
duct, as connected with this subject, have been
received with candour, anti the result has been
highly flattering to my feelings, though unaccom-
panied with an unanimity of suffrage.
Bit I have reached a protracted period of life—
beytind that., indeed, .usually allotted to the days
`of than—and now a change of opinion or conduct,
on so momentous a question, is little likely to
take place,. especially when that opinion has been
formed on the closest examination, and sealed

with the deepest conviction of my judgment. It
is an opinion, Gentlemen, which the lapse of time,
and the sanction of muck and patient study, has
interwoven in the very thread and body of my
political life. As, then, my own sentiments on
this head are unalterable, and I cannot hope for
the prevalent coincidence of yours—l conceive
that I shall best consult both the harmony of my
constituents, and the peace of my own mind, by
resigning a trust, which I should he unable to
acquit with universal satisfaction. For whatever
confidence I might feel in the integrity of my in-
tentions, or whatever conviction that my bumble
efforts have been designed, at least, to prothote
the best interests of my country—believe me,
Gentlemen, any farther collision of opinidti would
be, to me, matter of such painful regret, that I
want resolution to meet it,—at a time of life

little calculated to cope with political irritation.
On a former occasion, when hereditary and ha-
bitual prejudices were not nndesignedly aggravated
by misrepresentations of my parliamentary cork-
duct, and %Then it was difficult, as indeed it is at'
the present hour, to say whether ProteStants or
Catholics were,the more active in the work of de-
famation, I thought it incumbent on me to en-

deavour to undeceive my constituents, by placing
before them some authentic references to my sen-
timents on this question of high national interest.
Though the personal motives which chiefly influ-
enced me, at that period, no longer exist, I am
persuaded that I cannot close ray parliamentary
connexion with my constituents more consistently
than by resorting to the same declarations, which
I shall beg to subjoin to this Address. The ques-
tion Which called them forth must be of perpetual
occurrence, as long as the law remains in its pre-
sent anomalous state, as affecting the interests and
feelings of millions of the people.
Although the parliamentary relations which
have so long subsisted between us are now nearly
drawing to a close—as the depositary of another
important trust, in the character of. Recorder of the
Corporate Body, my best services will, neverthe-
less, be devoted to the maintenance of your mu-
nicipal chartered rights; nor upon any occasion
shall I be slow to manifest the deep interest I must
ever feel in every question affecting the prosperity
—I may be permitted as a Freeman to say—of our
ancient Borough.
With the sincerest sentiments of respect anti
inviolable attachment, I have the honour to be
Gentlemen,
Your most faithful Friend and obliged .
Humble Servant,
J. C. Hliii'ISLEY.

Rome, April 8, 1818.
