point, be will be acquitted of presumption In adding, that if the
chief difficulties of the present crisis should not then be surmounted,
or very materially diminhhed, and if your Majesty shoul.l continue
to think that his humble exertions could in any degree contribute
to conducting them to a favourable issue, there is no personal dif-
ficulty to which he will not rather submit than withdraw-himself
at such a moment from your Majesty's service. He would even,
in such a cue, continue for such a short further tints as might be
necessary to oppose the agitation or discussion of the question, as
far as he can consistently with the line to which he feels bound
uniformly to adhere, of reserving to himself a full latitude on the
principle itself, and objecting only to the time, and to the temper
and circumstances of the moment. But be must entreat that, on
this supposition, it may be distinctly understood, that he can na
main in office no longer than till the issue (which he trusts on every
account will be a speedy one) of the crisis now depending, shall
admit of your Majesty's more easily forming a new arrangement ;
and that be will then receive your Majesty's permission to carry
with him into a private situation that affectionate and grateful at-
tachment which your Majesty's goodness for a long course of years,
has impressed on his mind—and that unabated seal for the ease and
honour of your Majesty's Government, and for the public service,
which ha trusts will always govern his conduct.
He has only to entreat your Majesty's pardon for troubling you
on one other point, and taking the liberty of most respectfully, but
explicitly, submitting to your Majesty the indispensable necessity
of effectually discountenancing, is the whole of the interval, all

ibis subject. •

I should net do justice to the warm impulse of my heart, if I en-
tered on the subject most unplelaant to my mind, without first ex-
pressing that the cordial affection I have for Mr. Pitt, as well as high
opinion of hie talents and integrity, greatly add to my uneasiness
on this occasion ; but a sense of religious as well as political duty
has made me, from the moment I mounted the Throat, consider
the Oath hut the wisdom of our forefathers has enjoined the page
of this realm to take at their coronation, and enforced by the obliga-
tion of instantly following it in the course of the ceremony with
' taking the Sacrament, as so binding a religious obligation-on me to
maintain the fundamental maxims on which our Congdon/on is
placed, namely, the Church' of England being the established one,
and that those who holdemployments in the State must be mem-
bers of it, and consequently obliged not only to take oaths against
Popery, but to receive the Holy Communion agreeably to the rites
of the Church of England. •
This principle of duty must, therefore, prevent me from die.
cueing any proposition tending to destroy this groundwork of
oar happy Constitutioo, and much more so that now mentioned by
Mr. Pitt, which la no less than the complete overthrow at the
whole fabric. -

Downing.street, Saturday, Jan. 31, 1801.
Mr. Pitt would have felt it, at all events, • his duty, previous to
the electing of Parliament, to submit to your Majesty the result
of the best consideration which your confidential Servants could
give to the important questions respecting the Catholics and Dis-
senters, which must naturally be agitated in consequence of the
Union. The knowledge of -year :Ildujesty's general indisposition
to any change of the laws onthis subject would have made this a
pftil task to him ' • and it is become muck more so by learning
from MOW of his Colleagues, and from other quarters within these
few days, the extent to which your • Majesty entertaina, and has
declared, that sentiment. • •
He trusts your Majesty will believe, that every principle of duty,
gratitude, and attachment, must make him look to your Majesty's
ease and satisfaction, in preference to all considerations, but those
arising from a sense of what in his hoaest opinion is due to the
real interest of your Majesty and your dominions. Under the
impression of that opinion, he has coocurred in what appeared to
be the pprrsevvailing sentiments of the majority of the Cabinet—that
theadmissim of the Catholics and Dimmers to °aces, and of the
Catholics to Parliament (from which latter the bummers are now
excluded). avoid, under, certain cosi4itiess to be specified, be
highly advisable, with a view to the tilltquillity and Imptovemesit
of Ireland, and to the general interest of the United Kingdom.
Foe himself & is, on full consideratioo, convinced that the mea-
sure would be attended with no danger to the Established Church,
or to the Protestant interest in Great Britain or Ireland—that now

When the Irish Propositions were transmitted to me by e jolot
Message from both. Houses of the British Parliament, I told the
Lords and Gentlemen lent on chat occasion, that I would' with
pleasure and without delay forward them to Ireland : but that, as
individuals, I could. not kelp acqoainting them, that my inclination
to an Union with Ireland was principally founded on a trust,, that
the uniting the Established Churches of the two kingdoms would
for ever shut the door to any further measures with respect to the
Roman Catholics.
These two instanced Must thew Mr. Pitt, that my opinions are
not thus formed on the moment, but such as I have imbibed for
forty years, and from which I never can depart ; but, Mx. Piss
owe acquainted with my sentiments, his 'assuring me that he will
stave off the only question whereon I fear from his letter we can
never agree,—for the advantage and comfort of continuing to have
his advice and exertions in public affairs, I will certainly abstain
from talking on this subject, which is the oft mutest my-beart. I
cannot help, if others pretend to guess at my opinions, which I hen
never disguised ; but If those who unfortunately dialer with me will

'Though Ido not pretend to have the power of changing Mr.
Ifiet's opinion, when thus unfononately fixed, yet I shall hope his
sense of duty will prevent his retiring from his present situation to
the end of my life, for I can with great' truth assert, that I shall,
front public and private considerations, feel great regret, I shall ever
find myself obliged, at any time, front a sense of religions • and poll-
deal duty, to yield to his entreades* retiring from his seat at the
Board of Treasury.
PITT, TN REPLY.
Downing-street, Tuesday, Feb. 5, nun .
Mr. Pitt cannot help entreating your Majesty's permission to ex-
press bow very sincerely be lapeoetrated with the affecting expres-
sions of your Majesty's kindness gad goodness to himself, on the
occasion of the communication with which he has been under the
necessity of troubling your Majesty. It is, therefore, with addi-
decal pain be feels himself bound to state, that the • ual decision
which your Majesty has formed on the great subject in question
(the motives to which be respects and honours), and Ms own un-
alterable sense of the line which public duty requires from him,,
Must make him consider the moment as now arrived, when, on the
principles which he has already explained, it must be his first wish
to be released, as soon as possible, from his present situation. He
certainly retains the same anxious desire, in the time and mode Of
%sitting it, to consult, as much es possible, your Majesty's ease and
soave fence, and to mold embarrassment. But he must frankly
essfass to your Majeaty,that the difficulty even of his temporary con.
dnuance must necessarily tie increased, and may very shortly be-
muse insuperable, from what he conceives to be the import of one
passage in your Majesty's Dote, which hardly leaves him room to
that your Majesty thinks :hose steps can be taken for effee-
tally discountenancing all attempts to make use of your Majesty**
Name, or to influence opinions on this subject, which he has ow&
tired to represent as indispensably necessary during any interval
In which he might remain in office. He has, however, the less
anxiety in laying this sentiment before your Majesty, because bide-'
pendent of it, he is more and more convinced, that, your Majesty's
final decision being once taken, the sooner he is allowed to act upon
it, the better it will be for your Majesty's service. He trusts, and
sincerely believes, that your Majesty cannot find any long delay ne-
cessary for forming an arrangement for conducting your service
with credit and advantage; and that, on the other hand, the feeble-
ness and uncertainty, which is almost inseparable front a temporary
Government, must soon produce an effect, both at home and abroad.'
which might lead to serious inconvenience. Mr. Pitt trusts your
Majesty will believe, that a sincere anxiety for the future ease and
strength of your Government is one strong motive for his presuming
thus to press this consideration.

The box from Mr. Pitt contained two letters, tad a warrant In
favour of Mr. Long. r cannot have the smallest difficulty in 11111
the proposed warrant, as I think him .a very valuable maii,l2
know how much Mr. Pitt esteems him.
I had flattered myself that on the smog assurance I gave Mr.
Pitt, of keepi4g perfectly silent on the subject whereon we entirely,
differ, provided on his part be kept off from any disquisition on it
for the present, which was the main object of the letter I wrote
to him on Sunday, we both understood our present line of coo-
-1 duet ; but as I -..nfortunstely find Mr. Pitt does not draw the same
conclusion, I must come to the unpleasant decision, as it will do.
prier me of his political service, of acquainting him, that, rather
than forego what I look on as my duty, I will, without unneces-
sary delay, attempt to make the most creditable arrangement, and
such as Mr. Pitt will think most to the advantage of my service,
as well as to the security of the public ; but be must not be surprised
if I cannot fix how soon that can possibly be done, though he may
rest assured that it shall be done with as snuck expedition as so
difficult a subject will admit. G. R.

JESTY..

the Union has taken place, and with the new provisions yvhic.h I
would make part of the plan, it could never give any such *eight '
in dike or in Parliament, either to Catholics- or Dissenters,
ai could give them wry Dew MUM (if they were so disposed)
of attacking the MbislisWorent--that the grounds on which the
laws of reducers nice raining were founded, have long been
narrowed, and ate dna the Union roved—that those principles
formerly held by the Cathodes, 'Melt ioade them be considered u
politically dangers* have bees for et coarse of time gradually de-
clining, sad nun the bigbir Wien particularly they have ceased
to prevali—that the elloadoes sumu are disclaimed in the most po-
sitive mouser by the oaths, wilds have been required in Great Bri-
tain, and still more by one of these required in Ireland, as the con-
dition of the indulgence already granted, and which might equally
be made the condition of the new Goes—that if such an oath, contain-
ing (among other provisions) a denial of the power of absolution
from its obligations, is not a security from Catholics, the sacramental
test is not more so; that the political circumstances under which
the exclusive laws originated, arising either from the conflicting
power of hostile-and nearly balanced sects, from the apprehension
of a Popish Queen or Successor, a disputed succesdon and a Fo-
reign Pretender, and a division in Europe between Catholic and
Protestant Powers, are no longer applicable to the present state
of things—that with respect to those of the Dissenters, who, it la
feared, entertain Principles dangerous to the Constitution, a die-
tinct political test, pointed against the doctrine of modern -Taco-
binism, would be a much more just and more effectual security,
than that which now cals.., which may operate to the exclusion of
'conscientious persons well affected to the State, and is no guard
against those of an opposite description—that with respect to the
Catholics of Ireland, another most important additional security,
and one of which the effect would continually increase, might be
provided, by gradually attaching the Popish Clergy to the Govern-
ment, and, for this purpose, making them dependent for a part of
their provision (under proper regulations) on the State, and by
Also subjecting them to superintendence and controul—that, be-
sides these provisions, the general interests of the Established
Church, and the security of the Coostitution and Government,
might be effeetuallx strengthened by requiring the Political Test,
, before referred to, from the preachers of all Catholic or Dis-
senting Congregations, and from the teachers of schools of every

...
It is es these principles Mr. Pitt humbly conceives a new secu-
rity might be obtained for the Qvil and Ecclesiastical Constitution
of this country, more applicable to the present circumstaners,
more free from objection, and more effectual in itself, than any
which now eaists:; and which would. at the same dme, adroit of
sonending such iodulgences, as must conciliate the higher orders
eir the Catholics, and by furnishing to a large class of your Ma-
' jolty% Irish subjects a proof of the good Will of the United Par-
liament, afford the best chance of giving effect to the great object
of the Union--that of tranquillising Ireland, and attaching it to
this country.
It is with inexpressible regret, after all he now knows of your
Majesty's sentiments, that Mr. Pitt troubles your Majesty, thus at
large, with the general grounds of Ms opinioo, and finds himself
obliged to add, that this opinion is unalterably died in his mind.
It must, therefore. ultimately guide his political conduct, if it
should be your Majesty's pleasure, that, after thus presuming to
open himself fully to your blajesty. be should remain in that re-
sponsible situatioo, in which your Majesty has so long condescended
graciously and favourably to accept his services. It will afford
Ida, indeed, a great relief and satisfaction, if be may be allowed to
hop, that your Majesty will deign maturely to weigh what he has
now humbly submitted, and to call for any explanation, which any
ports of it may appear to require.
In the interval which your Majesty may wish for consideration,
he will not, on his part. importune your Majesty with any gone-
email reference to the subject; and will feel it his duty tu ab-
stain himself, from all agitation of this subject in Parliament, and
to prevent it, as far as depends on him, on tbe part uf others.—
If. on the result of soch consideration, your Majesty's objections
sloths measure proposed should not he removed, or sufficiently
to admit of its being brought forward with your Ma-
yesty's full concurrence, and witb the whole weight of Government,
it must be personally Air. Pitt's fir* whit to be released from a

PROM TI
COI4BTANTINOPLE, Mat 4.
The Sultan has seized on the property of the late
Saida Reis Effendi; deposed a short time before his
death, which is estimated at 8,000 or 9.000 purses,
(about 2,000,000 of banes.) This step has caused
some sensation, as being a violation of the decree of '
last year, abolishing confiscation. Those who justify
it, sty, first, that almost the whole of Saida's fortune
consisted of gifts made to his place rather than to him.
self; and secondly, that he had only collateral rela-
tions for heirs.
Some discontent is observable among the Menus
and the Softas, or students. Various causes are as-
signed for this—the Sultan's projects for imposing
taxes; that of the enrolling of the Softas in the army,
who pretend, though without foundation, to the right
of being considered as members of the corps of Ult.
was, and to a participation in its privileges; too gteo.t
a tendency to imitate the institutions and even the
costumes of Europe; the illegal confiscation of the
property of Saida Effendi, eec. It has been reported
that the Mufti had caused to be presented to the Sultan
a list of remonstrances, which the Sultan (contrary to
all custom respecting what comes from the heads of
the law) tore to pieces, immediately ordering the
Multi and the Ulemas to concern Themselves only
about affairs of religion, and to leave the government
of the state to him. The Pone, however, does not
seem to have any cause of alarm from the discontent,
which is doubtless greatly exaggerated. It is to be
observed, that many young men of family enlist in
the new troops, or go to the school of medicine in
which the French language is taught. The head of the
school, a young Armenian, has received from his Mos-
sulman pupils during the Bairam, mote flattering
marks of esteem than were ever before given to a
Raja. In all the ceremonies and visits which took
place at that time, they required that he should be 'at
their head, frequently saying, The ages of obscurity
are passed: religious prejudices will no longer• repress
talents: they will every where take the place which is
their due.'
Letters from Romelia, dated a week ago, state, that
the Greeks bad appeared off Volo, with the steamboat
ef Captain Hastings, and several Other ships; that they
landed in the environs; that one of their bombs blew
up the powder magazine in the castle ; that they took
or destroyed a Turkish flotilla, anchored under the goes
of the fort; that they then went to Trikeri, of which
they made themselves masters; and that the Mussul-
men are cut off from all communication between La-
rissa and Zeitouni; so that Ata Effendi, who was to
have gone to the latter place, was obliged to stop with
his suite at the former.
Julia 5.—A firman has been read at Bujuk-yeni-tan,
which obliges all merchants, subjects of the Porte, to
sell only to one Esnaf (corporation) the goods which they
receive from Europe, and to pay on all sales a duty of
a para per piaster. The consequetice will be, that the
merchants who resorted hither from various parts of the
empire to purchase goods, will no longer be able to
apply to the merchants of the capital; that they must
purchase only of the Esnaf; and that every article sold,
without being marked with the seal of the Ihlisab Aga,
will be seized as contraband.
JUN 2 6.—An order has been read in the Greek
churches, commanding the women of that nation not
to appear in the streets unveiled, nor to wear dresses
contrary to decorum, nor shoes of a yellow colour ; they
are also forbidden to engage in the service of Armenian
families.
Juwa B.—A report is spread that the Russians are ad-
vancing by forced marches to Teheran, and that the
Persians no where stand their ground ; but this report
is too vague, and the source from which it ..owes too

sembled to-day all the dealirs in muslin in the capital.
—He put bis seal on their goods, and told nem that
the duty of one para per piaster or 2i per COIL
would be levied on all such manufactures sold in Con-
