MIR. PEEL.-A London paper Of the 9th Fee
5ruary, contained the following abstract Of
letter from Mr. Peel, to the Vice Chancellor
of The Unlyerity at Oxford, res, gnlng his trust
as representative OF that corporation. II APP
pears that he has concluded TO abandon his op-
position TO the Catholic claims, and allow things
TO take their course.
Influenced by the alarming state Of things
in reference to our conneo tons with Ireland,
and which are called the Catholic claims, hr
lad brought his mind Gin com junction with
every member Of his MaIesty'S government TO
contemplate the possibility Of adopting some
plan, by which tina: long agitaled question
might be satisfactorily Sc, at rest. In coming
to this conclusion, he had KEEP, in view only the
interests OF the King, his master, and The wei
fare Of the nation. Wien he had satisfied these
claims, he next turned his mind to the claims
and opinions Of his constituents, and consider
ed that he had probably been indebted for much
OF their support, to the opposition he had hith-
erto maintained against the Catholic claims,
he felt that he could do no less than offer 10
replace in their hands, the trust, which, with
such feelings, they had committed TO him
Painful, therefore, as was The sacrifice, he was
prepared to tender his resignation Of The repre-
senlalion of the University of Oxford, a, such
time as the Vice Chancellor should inform him
would best suit the nvenience of the univer-
sity."
