UNIYERSITT OF OXITiRD.

07cf9rd, December 9.
pis THIRD AND LAST LETTER TO THE MEN= LEs OF CCN-
VOCATION, FROM AN INDEPENDENT MASTER OF ARTS.

In my last letter, I endeavoured to point out to ,
you, the peculiarand specific consequences with which
the University must be unavoidably affected from Lord
Gitestva.LE's equalizing system between the Catho-
lics and the Members of the Established Church.
I shall pursue that subject a little further, Should
any one ask, what authority I have to shew that his
Lordship's plans would introduce Papists amongst
us ? I should refer you to his own protest of the 27th
of May, 1807, one section of which stands thus
;
" dissentient because we are fully satisfied that the
removal of the unrentitted and degrading exclusion to
which a most numerous and valuable part of the
community have been so long subjected, and the im,
parting to the whole people of this united kingdom
ALL THE PRIVILEGES and duties of the British Consti-
tution, would be a measure of unquestionable justice
and wisdom." Surely here is a proposal for a com-
prehensive and perfect equality. The University,
indeed, is not here mentioned, "omit:alias, as a place
where the exclusion is to be discontinued. But is not
this aimed at ? Is it intended, I ask, to deny to the
Catholics the privilege of instruction, and the attain-
ment of degrees, preferments, and honours, amongst
us, when rights, beyond all comparison larger,. have
been conceded to them ? Is it meant to put arms into
their hands, but refuse them the use of books—to
say to them you may be Admirals if you chose, or
shall
Generals, Legislators, or Ministers, but you not
be Mathematicians or Scolars, Masters of Arts, or
Doctors ? Is it meant that a Catholic Should be al-
lowed to preside in dress robes on the Woolsack, or
in the Chair of the House of Commons, and yet be
prevented from wearing a plain gown and cap inter
silvan academi Much too ridiculous is such a con-
ceit as this. What Lord GRENVILLE'S meaning and
intenyion may be, I can only collect from his protest
and his speeches, which are surely broad, plain, and
unqualified. But if I have mistaken him, lam sure
that I do not mistake the views and intentions of the
Catholics. As soon as Lord GRENVILLE has shewn
them the way to cross the Thames at Eton, and
enjoy the honour of being on the Civil List of
the King's Household at Windsor Castle, do you
suppose they will stop, and not come on a few macs
further to look at the Gothic towers cf. Oxford,
built formerly by Cardinals in better times ? The
genti!- of the University may exclaim, indeed, before
they pass the silailow fords of the Isis, as the genies
of the Roman Empire address;:ci CESAR before he
passed the Rubicon--

Quo tenditis
Quo fortis Int a signa, viri ? si jure vtnitii,
Si Cives : hue usque licet.

But the exclamation will have no better effect ; the
Catholics will approach us not in armour perhaps,
but with some sharp weapons nevertheless ;—with
Lord GRENVILLE'S speeches, protest, and equal zing
bill, and they will tell as not only that it is their
right but even their duty, to coalesce and intermix
with us, in every place and station, in every office
and endowment in the University. Am I miscon-
struing the operation of Lord GRENVILLE'S project,
or the meaning of his language, when I assert, that on
the very same day when the 46 sauneritted and degrad-
ing exclusion of the Catholics" shall cease elsewhere,
it will also cease litre ; that the moment they become
possessed of qua! ri.glits with the Members of the
Established Church, under the State and the Govern-
ment, the same moment will bring them equal rights
in our Colleges. But The sra of imparting to them the
duties and privileges of the Constitution, and of the Uni-
versity, will be one and the same. Can any one doubt
that it is the view of the adherents of the Roman
Catholic Communion to obtain a participation in the
patronage and foundations of the University ? Who-
ever doubts of this, has forgot some of the most
important transactions of the reign of JAMES ll.
What did they not make that unfortunate Monarch
attempt, in order to force a passage for them into
the Universities ? At Cambridge, Dr. PEACIIEE, the
then Vice Chancellor, and Master of Magdalen Col-
lege, was suspended and deprived of both those cf-
fices, for not admitting FRANCIS ALDAN, a Benedic-
tine Monk, to the degree of Master of Arts, with-
out taking the Oath of iftjuratioa, the Monk bring-
ing with him the King's sign manual, directing that
he should be admitted " without tubing any oaths
whatever." In our own University, Dr.
the President of Magdalen, and 29 Fellows, were
expelled, for not giving up the Presidentship to a new
convert, named FARMER, who brought in his pocket
a kind of conge d'elire, from Whitehall, and after
some time Doctor GIFFORD, a Doctor of the Sorbonne,
and Titular Bishop of Madura, got possession of the
President's lodgings, which he kept till the same gales
which blew over the Prince of ORANGE, blew out the
hallowed tapers of the Papists. Are these things
enough to shew what were the designs of the Papists
upon us about a century since ? And is there one
living man who will believe, that a Papist is not now
as anxious to become the head of a College, or obtain
degtees in our University, as lie was before the Re-
volution delivered us from the Papal tyranny ? These
proceedings, it may be said, were those of violence
and outrage—certainly. Nor is it imputed to Lord
GRENVILLE. that he would countenance attempts of
that sort. The objection to his notions is not that he I
would grant the Catholic any kind of dispensation to
proceed against a law actually existing, but that he pro-
poses to repeal every law which.a Catholic says ought
to exist no longer. The misfortune I impute to his
system is, that it originates an extensive and deep in-
to% ati,n in some most fundamental maxims of the
Constitution ; and by framing a new Bill of Rights
and Privileges for the Papists, in reality supersedes
I tat invaluable Bill of Rights on which the revolu-
tion i itself was founded, and on which all its conse-
quences depend. A very large portion of Lord
kk.NVII.I project would, in my apprehension, in-
jute the University, the Church, and the Govern-
ment, through the very medium of a public law, in'
a manner not very different, nor, in effect, less ex-
tensive than that scheme of policy, the attempt to
esW,Aish which occasioned to he last PrlnceoltheFlouse

which Were practised before the Revolution. King
4,.,,biy,b Leta a mandate to the Iluiv.rsity gfCantbridgeo

and required a man to he admitted to a degree(
without taking the oath of Abjuration. Lord
GRENVILLE would, I am sure, e2:claim as loudly as
any man against this outrage. But when the Abju-
ration Oath has been abolished, under his new code, I
should be glad to know what the ultimate di ference will
be to the Universities, and how the most bigoted de-
votees to the Church of Rome (for with Black Monks
perhaps we shall be less troubled) are to be prevented
from obtaining matriculation, when there is no abju-
ration oath to refuse, and no test to decline. Here
also I must remind you, that when religious disqua-
lifications shall cease amongst us-as to the Church of
Rome, it must also cease as to the dissenters from
our own Church ; our University will then become
divided into different Bailiwicks, or Commanderies,
that of the Papists, the Church of England men, and
the Dissenters ; and I am not certain whether we
must not add a fourth, for those who, when all tests
Pre abolished, may think it prudent not to declare
themselves of any religion whatever. But under this
partition treaty, you may he assured, that the circle
which the semis server= will get for his share, will
not be the least.

From this examination of the oaths by which we
bind ourselvesto the University, before we are permitted
to put on a Commoner's gown, I feel myself led on
to consider a little the nature of that oath which we
must all take on Wednesday next, a day I think the
most important which has ever happened in the an-
nals of the University, before we can be suffered to
exercise our choice between the three candidates for
our Chancellorship. You shall choose no one, says
the oath—" quern habilem et idoneum certo rciveris vd
credideris." What is Lord GRENVILLE'S fitness
forthis office I wish to know ? Is it this—that he has
contravened, opposed, and treated with derision and
contempt, the repeated wishes, the recorded opinions,
the public addresses and petitions of the University ?
Is it the meaning of this office, that our Chancellor
should throw down, and trample under foot. the arta
publix of our own Convocation-house ? Who will say
such a person can, with any colour of propriety, be
invested with the honour, the trust, and the power of
the first Magistracy of the University ? The GIiEN VIL.
LITES, and the supporters of the Catholic Bill, indeed
affect to be startled at the least breath of objection to
Lord Grtesvtue. They are ready to declare not
only that he is a fit person, but the only man in Eng-
land, who is fit for this high post : they insist that the
same urgency which requires the Catholic Bill, re-
quires his Lordship's nomination to the vacant chair;
that it is an affair of immediate and unc9ntroulable necessity
to have him for our Chancellor. The Sap's Psfie/i, and
the Vas Academiae, is with them one and the same
pint ; they think, that if they can first carry the Con-
vocation-ho,: .;e, they can then easily carry the Parliament,
and afterwards assail the ears of the Sovereign him-
self, with the apostacy of the University from their
ancient and re-iterated sentiments. Such are the views
of the GRES VI LI. ITE.S. But whoever considers the re-
form of the Test Laws as a measure of danger, im-
policy, or disaster, will have a point deserving
some attention to settle with himself, before the heat
of party, or the pressure of solicitation, is allowed to
supersede the dictates of his own cool and unbiassed
judgment ; he will have to convince his own mind,
in the moment of private reflection, how he can
pledge his faith, and make a solemn asseveration,
before the assembled body of the University, that he
deems that Candidate fit to preside over us, for our
grace, our honour, and protection, whose nffeetion
consists in disowning us, and whose authority will be
exercised for our destruction. If it is come to this,
the academical career is at an end ; if we care not
whether we are fostered or repudiated, guarded or
deserted, caressed with friendship, or attacked with
hostility; if we abjure to-day our own remonstrances of
yesterday ; if we make public vows on one day and
violate them as publicly the next; if it be Indifferent
to us to preserve or throw away that first and im-
prescriptible right, the right of self-defence—if these
things are no longer a care or concern to us, then,
but not till then, may Lord GRENVILLE be raised to
the Chair, which has been filled by CLARENDON,
GUILDFORD, and PORTLAND.

AN INDEFE.NDWT MASUR.

ZIST-INDIES.

BOMBAY, JULY 22.
AFFAIRS OF AFFGANISTAN.

The Cabul Embassy is now, we understand, on its I
return from Peshour to the British territories, after the
complete attainment of all the objects of its mission.
Considerable apprehensions however are entertained,
concerning the fate of the present Aff Ghan monarch,
Suja•ul Mulk, whose competitor, Mahmud, was, by
the last accounts, advancing from Candahar, of which
he had gained possession against the capital Cabul,
with a force which is understood to be vastly superior
to any that the present monarch can muster to oppose
it, even if joined by the army of Cashmeer, which is
also suspected to be in a state of disaffection.
Two Ccntlemen of the Embassy, charged with
special dispatches by the route of Lahore, and two
others by the route of the Indus, arc expected. We,
have since learned through a private channel, that
Lieutenants Harris and Tickell had actually entered
the Punjab on their way to Deillec, and that Mr.
Fraser, second assistant to the Envoy, accompanied
by Lieutenant Ross, would presently set out by the
other route above mentioned for Bombay. Rungeet
Sing had given orders to the Killedars to offer no mo-
lestation,but to afford to Lieutenants Tickell and Har-
ris every practicable facility through his territories.
A detachment of troops under Major Knox had
marched from the stations of Dehlee and Dewarree
into the Hurriana country against the fort of a re-
fractory Chieftain, situated beyond Hansee ; the name
lof the fort is Bullealab, On approaching and recon-
noitring the place, they found it too strong to be Ear-
ried by a coup de main. A regular battering train
of two 18 and two 12-pounders, together with all ne-
cessary implements for siege, had accordingly been
ordered from Dehlee to join the detachment, .
