His MAJESTY'S most gracious Speech. on the opening
wf the Session of Parliament, has realix d the an. icipa-
lions which were felt by all classes of socie y. of the
importance of the matter which it would contain. Oa
no former occasion was such intense anxiety felt for
this communication from the Throne; and never, in
the annals of the country. did any such commtri-
' cation *convey a recommendation, so big with ino-
I mentous events as that contained in the present
Speech for taking into consideration the state of•
Ireland. and the laws affecting all Roman Catholic
swims in other words, for granting what is
called Catholic Emancipation. This intended measure
will either have the effect which is expected by its ad.
vacates, of reconciling all parties, and thereby adding
to the security and welfare of the United Kingdom,
or it may arouse the alarms of all Protestants for
the security of their Church, and the Constitution
which their f nefathers have handed down to them,
and lead to consequences which may convulse the
country from one end to the other 1 Whichever way
therefore the subject is considered, its consequences
must be of the highest importance, and we may have
either to bless, or to rue, the boldness of the Govern-
ment in attempting to adjust this long-debated subject.
For our own parts, we are so firmly attached to
the Constitution as by law established, and to the
reformed religion of this Realm, which foams an
integral part of our State policy, that we cannot
but deeply deplore that the force of circumstances
should be so strong as to have placed the King's
Government in the situation which they appear to
feel themselves to be in—namely. to be obliged to
Adopt measure., on the ground of expediency. which
are not fundamentally tight or safe—that is, to choose
ot►e evil in preference to another. We say, we regret

'that they should be in such a position as have only
choice of evils—we do not condemn them for adopting
that which they think ti e lesser evil; but we lament
thenecesbity of their doing so; and we cannot but feel
apprehensions, that the time will come when our child en
will have cause to lament that we, of this generation,
had not boldly faced the difficulty of maintaining
their Protestant Constitution Inviolate, rather than
have bowed to the circumstances which may alibi a
this period. That Parli arrant will accede to the courts
now recommended by the Government, cannot. after
the di.cussion of last night, be doubted; but we have
the most confident expectation, that this great meas.'',
will be coupled with such enactments, es will afford
every security to car Protestant E%tablislim nts, which
can be devised under such altered circumgtoces.
