LETTER FRONI.,COLONRI. STIIUTT, M.P.
Mr. Eurron,,,l have never obtruded myself on the public no-
'tice; but at this moment I cannot refrain from endeavouring to
correct an violent which I am told was a-trivalent in the coutny
town of Essex last Friday, viz. " that I was not very anxious
about the vital question now brought forward by his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, to give political powei to Papists." How this report afore
I know not, unites it was front my meeting two respeecahle era
sons in liorebam, to whom I said, " If
.you have delayerto I ea.,
Lion tilt now, you had better delay a day or two Wiwi because
AIN Pier. is to declare to-morrow to Parliothent the arrangements
which Ministers have contemplated." The fact is, / was then
going •to London, to be in the House of Commons the day
following, and I gave this advice because it had been reported
that the Duke of Wellington had said in the Huirse erf Lords,that
whin-the...public were informed of the intended arrangements of
Government on this most important qUestion, that all, both Pro-
testant and Catholic, would be perfectly satisliCii. If so, the re
would 'be no nicasion to petition; if otherwise, after thi Iscariot,
Petitions against the measure would have thf greater weight.
'Sir,- I have been nearly forty years in Parliament, and I hive
-heard meat of the great men in the House of Commons within
that period of time, acknowledge that they could suggest no au&
deist guard's to the Constitution of thrs dountry;aild no security
fur our Protestant Establishments in Church and State, if Papists
Were admitted Into power.
I have always on principle voted against what is commonly caged
Catholic Emancipation. The present Bill for removing Catholic
disabilities, in my opinion, provides no protection tp our Establish-
ments, and abrogates ancient barriers, enacted fur the preservation
•of our Consiitulibu; and I tepid it as a measure engendering con-
. tinual dangeroutErife in these kingdoms, and subversive ultimately
of the best interests of this nation.
Some there'are Who remain passive from confidence in Mr. Peel,
but I cannot. There appears, since he has been in the Govern-
ment, to have been an opportunity Of forming an entire Protestant
Cabinet.-but thai has not been accomplished. Power was given
lb` pre'vent the Catholic Association front rearing its pernicious
strength while Mr. Peel was in administration ; but we know that
Association was suffered.to grow nearly to an ungovernable power
ddring his being'. Minister of the Crown ; add this Mr. Peel, the
former strenuous champion of our Protestant Constitution inChurch
and State, has adopted this present measure, the principle of which
be before Mightily opposed as totally subversive of our Protestant
Constitution. These ale some of the reasons why I can place no
confideico in thii*Minister of the Crown. .

I have stated but a very small portion of the many strong objet.
dons to the measure now 'before Parliament; and for myself I
must declare,ehat 4 win not issent to the /awe of England being
changed far the admission of,Papisteto political-power.
I hove shown this my determination by my votes In Parliament
within this fortnight, and so I will ttethclast unseat* this measure
in tbs Howe of Commons.

tribute effectively and directly to the loyalty and pros

Gentlemen of • the indebted Co/potation, and of the
• grateful and supplied poor of Scotland, to rise and think
cordially to the health and happiness of ‘4 The Ladies

His Majesty, 100 guineas; the Dube of Clarence, tO guineas; the

an to 4221.
During the evening. Hr. BROADOOUT sang " John Anderson.
enlist' with great taste and pathos, and the " Ley Riggs." Miss
Osaue, who mat kindly gave her services gratuitously on the
W. 3141, sang frum the Ladies' Gallery, and was highly and de-
servedly applauded for her execution' of the favourite airs " My
lodging is on the cold ground," and 0 Gin a body." Mr. TATUM
also added to the amusement of the Arcing by comic songs.
The ROYAL CHAIRMAN lest the Chair at half-past
eleven, amidst the warm plaudits of the company for
his unwearied zeal in behalf of this Institution.
The following extract from a statment put forth by
the Governors well explains what has been effected by
this excellent Charity :
* The Charity of the Scottish Hospital is applicable to the poor
mechanic, the artisan, and labourer, natives of Scotland, with their
wives, widows, and children, resident in this metropolis and its
immediate neighbourhood ; who, not hiving acquired any paro-
chial settlement in this country, would, in age and poverty, in
sickness and distress, or when in want of employment, be exposed
• so the utmost wretchedness or beggary, but for the fostering care
of this Institution.
" The number of these poor objects. dependent on public
bounty, is much greater than is generally imagined ; during the last
twelve months the number of poor relieved has been as follows,
including those on the Annuity List, who are paid monthly :
1828—April . . . 239 1828—October . . 236
May . . . 243 November . 263
June . . . 290 December . 238
July . . . 11.18 1829—January . . 239
August . . 258 February . . 253
September . 256 March . . 269
Resides passages to 219 persons, men, women, and children.
" The natives of Scotland have long been remarkable for their
envier ring disposition. They are to be found in every quartet of
the globe where civilized establishments have been made. Wealth
and opulence, fame and fortune, cannot be the lot of all; and
many, after enduring hardships and privations of all kinds in othet
countries, return home in poverty and distress. London is the
. great channel through which they take their way, and they fre.
• quently arrive here utterly destitm. To such. the funds of the
Hospital have been always accessible, its charity being open to
every peer Switchman who can obtain a proper recommendation."

Lordship ,was, we have reason to believe, most gia..
ciously received, and remained clusetted with his MA•

Jam fur nearly four hours. During that time the
Noble Earl, no doubt, explained fully to bis MAJASTY
the fatal consequences which must ensue if the Bill be
passed, and made his 111aJurrr acquainted with the real
state of public feeling throughout the country on this
fearful measure. Such communications, from such a
swan as the Earl of &pox, cannot have failed to make
a deep impression on his MAJESTY; and we look for-
ward with the greatest anxiety, mingled with a strong
eeling of hope, to the events of the present week. A
dis ()lotion of Parliament is nearer than people suppose.

We lament to state that the Cotton Trade is beginning
to suffer most severely,, and will. in all probability, be
shortly reduced to the same pitiable condition as the
Silk Trade. The accounts of the distress of the Manu-
facturers of Manchester and hs neighbourhood are most
shaming. Some Masters are, from necessity, discharg-
ing their men, and reducing the earnings of those to
whom employment is still given to the amount of ten
pounds per cent. while oth-rs are restricting the hours
of labour, so that the total week's earnings shall be
lessened in a greater proportion. The consequences of
this state of things are greatly to be dreadei. And
does it prove that the country is in a healthful state with
respect to its trade? Can a system which has brought
ruin on the wool, silk, cotton, and hardware trades, (not
to name all other branches which are affected by it). be
a sound and wise system of commercial policy? We
have made the experiment of Free Trade and it has not
succeeded; why then should we persevere ia. a ccurse
which will plunge us deeper and deeper in ruin the

longer it is persisted in? We must ulcima'ely return to
the system steadily acted upon by WILLIAM Ptrr and
dsonoe ROSIN abandoning the theories of the Hus-
xissons and other theorists.

We have received the Pares Papers of Thursday and
Friday. and ate Gazette de France dated Saturday morn.
ing. • In the latter we find a paragraph stating that it
is affirmed in Paris that the Treaty concluded b, tween
Great Britain, France, and Russia is definitively signed,
and has been forwarded to Constantinople, to be noti-
fied to the Turkish Government. This Treaty filially,
re presume, settles the Gre k question, on which
there• has never been any difference of opinion be-
tween 0 e th,ee great Powers; but it does not inter-'
feie with•the separate ground of quarrel existing be.
tween the Ps.rte and Russia. On the contrary, we ap•
prebend it will leave both these parties in a better
condition to attend to the operations which are about
to he teeesed.
There is nothing else of interest in these Papers. The
Conclave have cot yet decided on a sntcessas to the,

Chair of St Peter ; but Cardiaal Gnu:onto will, It is
supposed, be the successful candidae. Both -France and
Aust►ia are striving to secure the election of .a quiet
person, and at all events to guard against the choice
falling upon a disciple of IGNATIVa LOYOLA.
The French Five per Cents. are lower, having closed
on Friday at 107 f. 95c. but the Three per Cents. swain.
mined their price. It is supposed that some persons
are availing themselves of the present very high price
of the former Stock, to get out of it and purchase
Three per Cents. under an idea that the Five's will be
shortly reduced.

German 'Wars to the 23d Match, and Brussels
Papers to the 28th► reached us last night. They con-
tain accounts of some affairs between the Russian and
Turkish outposts, in which the former are •aid to have
bad the advantage. An at ticle dated Syra, 2sl February,
states that the SULTAN has positively refused to accede
to the proposals made by M. JAVIER?. The Austrian
Funds were 91 on the 171 h.

After an interruption of the navigadon from the 9th of January,
the first ships have arrived to day, as well those that have wintered
at Cuxhaven as some oyster ships. Several ships have also sailed
from our port. The navigation to Harbors is also open again. As
the ice from the Upper Elbe has bees floating down for some days,
it may be expected that the navigation up the dyer will likewise be
soon free.
