the indlspensible necessity of the two checks, or
safeguards above mentioned, namely, a limitatio4
of the negativeas to number, and as to the ground
of its exercise. Hence, when he found that Rai.
ther of these checks would be received by-his pc-
Mica! friends, he felt It his duty to break of all
further negociattons with them on the subject.
Bat, to come to the main point at issue: does
the note convey any Such' idea as is contained in
the following passage : " Dr. Milner has informed
g‘ me that such is their (the Irish Bishops) deter-
" mination ; he believes that if the prayer of that
petition be granted, they will not have aay ob.
" jection to make the King virtually the head of
" their church ?" Does any person Who knows
the least of me or of my writings*believe •tliat I.
was captible of holding out such an idea? • If he
sloes not believe this, but barely suitposes that I
knew solittle of the matter I was treating of as.
to havemade a concession which iient this length,
without. my being conscious of it, I ask him
was it (air, was it just.to,take this advantage of
my simplicity ?, Such, however, was the plei of
the Right Bon. Gentleman, when .1 waited upoli
him to eipostnlite with him on the alarming pro-
position which he had matte is my name, carry-
ing at the same time the printed protest in my
band. What he said was to this effect, and I be-
lieve in these very words : " I am not surprized
44 at the alarm you have taken. Ido erot pre-
gg tend that you authorized me to say what I did
66 say ; but. I. Was at liberty tb argue from the
44 premises as I thought proper. With respect to.
44 this paper (the Protest) it is very fair, and I
44 have no objection to your circulating it." In
fact tt was this propositidli of the Gentleman
(which he was earnestly requested by his Parlia-
mentary .Eriend, alluded to above, to explain
away) which naturally produced so great • com.
bustion in Ireland, and ended in burning the
writer in effigy. All this he might have escaped,
and have retained the favour he there enjoyed,)
had he then told the Irish what he is constrained to
tell the English now. The only motive which
prevented his doing• this was a respect for his
friends, and chiefly for the Right:Honourable Gen-
tleman: This brilliant orator may be cheered by.
both his political friends and his enemies : on the
present occasion it is easily eonceived that my.te-,1
fuss! to become again a party to their propoled,
arrangements, which I know to be fatal to try re.
ligion, should make both parties willing to sari.
'lice so insignificant a being as myself ; still I look
up with confidence-to the deliberate. jadgmeut and,
candour of my fellow.stilk;ects .at large in .both
our islands. This Gentkmau is lepnrsed to make,
a merit of not publishing my private letters, Writ.'
ten at my leisure, after having published my
. hasty private note. If there is any. thing in them.
. that makes for his purpose, he bat my full consent
to their production: in the mean lime I shall not,
. without a similar licence from.-iiiin, produce the
letters with which he has konctund me., . •
