The recal of the Marquis of Anamtase from the.
Government of Ireland was a measure of painful
necessity. The gallant conduct of the Noble Martinis
during the war has endeared bins to every Briton, and
the termination of his ministry in Dublin is every way
to be lamented; bat nothing has more strongly mani-

felted the bold sod uncompromising rotors of the pre-
sent Administration than this decisive conduct of the
Noble Paw= ; it has. iniassibletincetased the cod-

deuce of the country, and we may add, of theSovrastos,
and disappointed the hopes of the factious. None could
more sincerely, than ourselves respect the Nelle Mar
quis; but we are among those who, while they deplore
the necessity, congratulate the country on an act of the
Government which holds nut to the Pr testants of. the
United Kingdom fresh assurances that their security
shall not be endangered by false notions of liberality,
nor by the weakness or indiscretion of a person in power.
The following is a copy of are letter from the
Marquis of Aprotassir to Di. CURTIS, who had com-
municated to hisEscellency the correspondence between
the Duke of WELLINGTON and himself, the Catholic
Archbishop

liscenis Path, Dec. 23, 1822.

Moir Rsv. Silt—l hasten to acknowledge the r ceipt
of your letter of the 22d, covering that which you received frosts
the Duke of W summon, of the 11th install., together with a copy
of your answer to it. I thank you for the confidence you have re-
posed in me. Your letter gives me information upon a subject of,
the highest interest. I did not know the precise sentiments of the
Duke of Wtxtutoxon upon the present state of the Catholic Que.-
tion. Knowing it, I shall venture to offer my opinion upon the'
course that it behoves the Catholics to pursue. Perfectly "conH
vinced that the final and cordial settlement of this great question
can alo e give peace, harmony, and prosperity to all classes of
his Ma'am's subjects in this Kingdom, I must acknowledge
my disappointment on learning that there is no prospect of its
being effected during the ensuing Session of Parliament. I, how_
ever, derive some consolation from observing that his Grace is not
wholly adverse to the measure ; h r Ulm can be induced to promote
it, he, of all men, will have the greatest facility in carrying it into
I effect. If lam eo in this opinion, it is obviously most important
that the Duke of Writtisaveni should be propitiateci; that no ob.
stacks that can by possibility be avoided should be thrown in his
way ; that all personal and offensive insinuations should be sup-
pressed; and that ample allowance should be made for the M.
acuities of his situation. Difficult it certainly is, for he has to over-
come the very strong prejudices, and the interested motives of
many persons of the highest influence, as well as to allay the
teal alarms of many of the morel ignorant Protestants.. I differ
from the opinion of the Duke, that an attempt should be made
to " bury in oblivion" the question for a short time. Firsts
because the thing is utterly impossible; and next, because, if the
thing were possible, I fear that advantage might be taken of the
pause, by representing it as a panic achieved by the late violent re-
action, and by proclaiming that if the Government at once and
peremptorily decided against concession, the Catholics would cease
to agitate, and then all the miseries of the last years. of Ireland will
be to be re-acted. What I do recommend is, that the measure
should not be for a moment lost sigheof —that anxiety should con-
tinue to be manifested—that all conslitalhotal (in contradistinction

to merely legal means should be resorted to, to forward the cause;
but that at the same time the most patient forbearance, the most
submissive obedience to the laws, should be inculcated; that no
personal and offensive language should be held towards those who
oppose the claims. Personality offers uo advantage ; It effects no
good; on the contrary, it offends, and confirms predioposed aver-
sion. Let the Catholic trust to the justice of his cause—to the
growing liberality of mankind. Unfortunately, he has lost some
frituds, and fortified his enemies, within the last six months,
by unmeasured and unnecessary violence. He will soonest re-
cover from the present stagnation of his fortunes by showing
more temper, and by trusting to the Legislature for redress.—
Brute force, he should be assured, can effect nothing. It is the
Legislature that must deciJe this great question; and my great
anziely is, that; it should be met by the Parliament under the most
favourable circumstances, and that the opposers of Catholic Eman-
cipation shall be disarmed by the patient forbearance, as well as by 11
the unwearied perseverance of its advocates. My warm anxiety to
promote the general interests of this country is the motive that Mal
ii.duced ate to give an opinion and to offer advice.
I have the honour, &c.

To the Most Rev. Dr. Curtis, &c. &c.

Mr. SuJuL has indulged the electors of Louth with
the tich promise, that whenever Roman Catholics are
eligible to Parliament, he will 'ask for their “ sweet
voices." Happy county, to possess the anticipation of
such advantage as must accrue from the orator's ad-
dresses to the English people. He, we are informed,
has no more connection with L'wth titan a Mussolman
with New York, or a Chinese astrologer with an Eng-
lish coachman. As to land, he does not possess one
acre ; as to a residence, not a peasant's hovel in it. He
has never been even a ►ojourner in the county.
But sedition mak-s demagogues citizens of the world.
and treason entitles its promulgators tt the franchises
of a mob corporation. Intagin try ills have erected, on
the subversion of the natural ranks of society, a revo-
lutionary confedetacy in Ireland. He that is wildest
in speculation, and most intemperate in language, is
the favoured brother of the Junto. He who dares most,
will best succeed. He who has the presumption to ac-
knowledge the value lie places on his own merits, wilt
outride in the r of promotion or of honour, him who
has the genius to be =Jct., and that loftiness of mind
which beget, Lumility.

In such a ftl'C • f we naturally expect to find
such per.oas as Mr. Surat.. We shall not condescend
to examine the course of his wild exertions to produce
discontent and alarm I but to inquire Into the state of
&she feeling, that imparts to him au ephemeral
notoriety, may be initruct ve.
The means which are within the reach- of any ad-
ventuter to foment sedition, cannot be wholesome 14.
constitutional. If the original division f power into
the One Estates nere wise, the impairing the active
pod of any one if them is an invasion of the principle,
•nd theretote subversive of it. The benefit derived
from the cheque which one btatich in the Legislature
has on the other, keeps each in the proper direction of
its intended utility. If the Monarch is a tyrant, and
his tyranny is permitted unconttoulled to be excited,
the Aristocracy arid the People ate tl e implements by
hick he works his designs, and not impediments, as
they ought to be, to the election of his illegitimate
sway. And if, even in political affairs not immediately
connected with their legislatiie capacity, these three
Estates have not each their full operation, error has
crept into the system. If the Aristocracy have full
sway in re:inning Members to Parlianien't, and the
People have no real fiet.fom in their own poke of a
Rep/misusage, the system has lost its sanative excel-
lence of a division of power. And if the lowest des
scripticin of the people have t! e supremacy in returning
Members to serve in Pidliame t, neither property, nor
intolligeisee, nor commerce, ni.r agricelture, ate rep te.
voted; but the fury and theignocaatt of a mob, mod

mg Me Park, have engroistd one division of this pow er
to themselves, contrary to the osiginal intention. no
influence of this disorganization is not limited to the
state of society which engeAdeted it. The evil will
soon spi cad to the Assembly of Coo ncilli.rs themselves'
For the measures of a .it b Parliament will not be sanc-
tioned by an A. istocratic H 'use of Lords: dissension
must creep in upon their wisdom, and suits the fortunes
of the empire.
This reasoning is peculiarly applicable to the state
of society in Ireland. If the forty shilling freeholders
are not disfranchised, the mob—a Popish mob, guided
by Popish Priests—will return ninety Aleinheis out of
the hundred from Ireland. The Atistocracy have lost
their jurisdiction—talent has no voce—agriculture has
no ear—commerce has no eye., in legnlating the deci-
sions of this mob. An eruption of all the *lefts of so-
ciety has scattered their privileges to the is ind—the
landlord has no sway—the friend no conttoul—the
neighbour no advice, that can unfater the prisoned
mind of this blind populace.
It may be replied, that we have stated our position
in terms too strong. when us have attributed such in-
fluence to these Members so selected in Ireland ; but, as
in out observations t.f Friday about the Church in Ire.
land, we built the safety of the Establishment in Eng-
land on the uninvaded possessions of the firmer, we
now apply the same reasoning to the present case. If
a Democracy be established in Ireland, as in effect it
will be without the disfranchisement of the forty shilling
freeholders. WILL THE PEOPLE PE ENGLAND BE CON
TENTED WITHOUT RADICAL REFORM? No man, in
his senses, can deny the truth of this last sentence. Let
it speak trumpet-tongued to this Piotestant land.—
We wish Mr. Sinn good morning, and we shall con-
gratulate him as M.P. for Louth, when Roman Ca•
tholics are eligible to Parliament, and forty shilling
fteeholders in possession of their present sway—when
mobs are the people, and Priests are permitted to con-
tinue their political guide. I

The Paris Papers by Is t night's express e ntain no
information on any subject of intermit. They are nearly
filled with addresses to the KINO. agreeable to custom
on the termination of the old and commencement of the
new year. The only articles worth extracting will be
found under the usual head in our front page.

A Flanders mail, of which extracts will be found in
another page, came to hand lag night. A great depot
of arms has, it is said, been formed at Kieff. in Southern
Russia, whence it is inferred shat the enbuing spring
campaign will commence early.

Lisboa Gazelles to the 23d ult. sere received last
night. They contain a Bulletin, signed by the Piy.
%icians, announcing the complete recovery of Don
MIGUIL ; the limb, it is said, is united without any de-
formity. A formal announcement is made, that, not-

withitanding the changes that have taken place between
Portugal and the Brazils, the commercial intercourse
between the two countries would continue without in-
terruption, for their mutual interest and convenience.

Letters from Amsteidam this morning state that a Russian Loan

Private letters from Lisbon state that the public mind was in the
greatest agitation there during the last week. when an attempt was
made to change the Government. So many contradictory reports
prevail there, that nothing is to be depended on.
