THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. HIGHLY IMPORTANT COUNTY MEETING IN MONMOUTHSHIRE. ( Continued ftm*our last.) W. A. WILLIAMS, E?q., of LHngibby, then rose to pro- pose the third lesolntion, and Mid-Mr. High Sheriff and Gentlemen, I feel that there is no man who has more reison to agree with a complaint which has been elsewhere made than 1 have—of being placed in a cruel and unjust position by the late proceedings of the Papal Government. Through a long course of year*, through ill report and good report, and frequently in oppositton to the opinions of those for whom 1 felt the greatest regard and esteem, I h ive done all in my power in the best exercise of my judgment and con- science consistently with our national rights and privileges, to give my constant support to my Roman Catholic friends. And it has given me much pain to hear my honourable and honoured friend Mr. John Vaughan's expression that we were assembled here for" hunting down Roman Catholics." I want to know what can have effected so great a change in tny principles and constitutional views, as to have brought me here on the platform of this county meeting, into col- lision with so highly esteemed and respected a body of our fellow Christians as the Roman Ca'holics of England; and when I say collision, I feel assured that it will not be at- tended, as respect' myself, with the slightest diminution of esteem and friendship towards my valued friends, with whom I have so long been united. It will be readily be- lieved by thove who may have thought it worth while to consider what my course has been, and the motives of my actions, when I my that I hate given to this matter a careful and most serious consideration, and that it has been to me a truly painful consideration, and that 1 have in the deliberate and conscientious exercise of my judgment come to the con- clusion that it is my bounden duty as an Euglishmau, in defence of the civil and religious liberties and privileges of this country, and of the rights of the Crown, to take part in the proceedings of this day. And as regards mv dissenting friends, it is well known to them that during the ten years that 1 represented this county in Parliament, I supported them in all matters connected with their position in the country so far as a Churchman Could do. And Here always existed a clear understanding between 11., And if any difference exisis between us on the present occasion, I can- not help thinking that it must arise from some lnisaudc-r- standing between us, as ou some noiuts, to the f-cts or merits of this case. Therel^one difficulty which we ill ways have to Contend with when jfsuiiig on these points with CWJ £ Roman Catholn, fallow sjmjeet-, that of distinguishing between things civil and spiritual. And wbon we are di- recting arguments apainst usurpations of the Papal..Govern- ment we are accused of attacking the religion of tioimn Catholics. The difference can only be understood bv a reference to and study of the history of this country, where we find that from the Nortnu-i Conquest tu the Reformation there has been one continued content between the common and statute law of England, and the canon hw of Rome. Having claimed «piritual jurisdiction, control, and influence, the Papal Gi)»err.meut constantly endeavoured to remove various civil causes "nd matters under the title of spiritual from under the jurisdiction of the civil courts of law in the supremacy of the sovereign, and to place them under piiestly jurisdiction and the supreme control of the Pope, in direct contravention of that great principle of ojr consti- tution that the sovereign is supreme over all esfafes of this realm, in all causes ecclesiastical and civil. I have deemed it right to make these preliminary observations before 1 proceed to the resolution, which is as follows:—«' That the Papal edict assumes absolute authority over the past, present, and future; aud furnishes precedent enough, it allowed silently to take its course, for aggressions dangerous alike to the il, itiah Crown, and to tnose liberties, civil and re- ligious, which have been won for. and secured to U8. by our forefathers." I have now to affirm and prove the truth of the resolution; and I must request the attention of t!;e meeting to the following extracts from the Pope's Apos- tolical letter, or Dull, as it is called.;—•« Wherefore, having taken into earnest consid< ration the present state of Catholic afFiirs in England, and reflecting on the very large and everywhere increasing number of Catholics there; con- sidering also that the impediments which principally stood in the way of the spread of Catholicity were daily being re- moved, we judged that the time had arrived when the form of ecclesiast cal government in England might he brought backtothit model on which it exists freely among tothff nations, where there is no special reason for their be ng governed by the extiaordinary adminLtration of Vicir. Apostolic. We were or 0 liuion that times and circumstances hal brought it about, that it was unnecess ry for the Eng lisli Catholics to be any longer guided by Vicars Apo-tolic; nay more, that the revo'ution which had taken place in things there was such as to demand the form of ordinary episcopal government In addition, we committed the whole matter to our venerable brethren the Cardinals of tha Holy Roman Church of our Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith to be carefully and gravely considered. Their opinion was entirely agreeable to our own desires, and we freely ap- proved of it, and judged that it be carried into execution. The whole matter, therefore, having been carefully and deliberately consulted upon. of our own motion, on certain knowledge, and of the plenitude of our apostolical power, we constitute and decree, that tn the kingdom of England, according to the common rules of the Church, there be restored the hierarchy of ordinary bishops, who shall be named from Sees, which we constitute in these our le ters, in the several districts of the apostolic vicariates. Thus, then, in the most flourishing kingdom of England, there will be established one ecclesiastical province. consisting of one archbishop or metropolitan head, and twelve bishops, his suffragans by whose exertions and pastoral cares we trust God will grant to Cath -licity in that country a fruit. ful and daily increasing extension. Wherefore we now reserve to (lurselves and our successors, the Pontiff's of Rome, the power of again dividing the said province into others, aud of increasing the number of dioceses as O' casillu shlAlt -twjtwe, -In the meanwhile we command the afores iid arch- bishop and bishops that they transmit, at due times, to our congregatior of the Prjpagand i, accounts of the state of their churches, and that they never ouvt tu keep the said congregation fully inf >rmed respecting all matters which they know will co'iduce to the welfare of their spiritual flocks. For w„' shall continue to avail ourselves of the instrumeuhlityof the said congregation in all thinus ap- pertaining to the Anglican churches But in the sacred government of clergy and laity, and in all other things appertaining unto the pastoral pfliue, the archbishop and bishops of Englaud will henceforward enjoy all the rights and lacuUies which the other GfttUoWc archbishops and bishops of other na ious, according to the common ordi- nances of the sacred canons and apostolic con t tutions use, and may use: and are equally bound by the obligations which bind the other archbishops and bishops according to the same common discipline of tbe Catholic Church. And whatever regulations, either in the ancient system of the Anglican churches or in the subsequent missionary state, may have been in force either by special constitutions or privileges or peculiar customs, will now henceforth carry no right nor obligation; and in order that no doubt may re- main on this point, we, by the plenitude of our apostolic authority, repeal and abrogate all power whatever of im- posing obligation or conferring right in those peculiar constitutions aDd pii»ileges of whatever kind tney may be, and in all customs by whomsoever, or at whatever more ancient and immemorial time brought in. • • • Our principal object, indeed, in detreeTiis;, by these our letters apostolic, the restoration of the ordinary hierarchy of bishops, and the observation of the Church's common law, hits been to pay regard to the well-being and grjwth of the Catholic religion throughout the real.n of England" (hear, bear). In these extiacts I apprehend that there is ample proof of the exercise of the power and authority of the Pope and Roman Government as to the past, the pre. sent, and the future-such as is totally incompatible with the constitutional supremacy of the Queen, and the reli- gious and civil rights and" libeities of this Protestant nation. But it has been asserted that those who are not conversant wiih the usual construction of, and the techni. calities peculiar to, papal documents, are not competent to understand the true meaning of the n. To 'his I have to tay that the matters treated of 3re of a nature far too iint or- taiit to be dealt with by technicdities; bes:des wh,dl we have another public document of authority, subse- quently addresfed to the Human CathoHc clergy and laitv of this country—1 mean the pastoral letter of Cardinal Wiseman, which more than confirms the propositions of the resolution:—"And we decree that these our letters apostolical shall never at anv time be"objected agaiust or impugned, ou pretence either of omission or addition, or delect either of our iuvention. or any other whatsoever; but shall always be valid and iu force, and shall t iki effect in all particulars, and be inviolably observed. All geneiat or special enactments notwithstanding, whether apostolic, or issued in^ synodal, provincial, mid univer>al councils; not- withstanding also all rights 'and privileges of the ancient Sees of England, and of the flllssious, and of the apostolic vicariates subsequently there established, and of aU clurclies whatsoever, and pious places, whether established by oath or by apostolic confirmation, or by any other security what- soever notwithstanding, lastly, all other things to the con- trary whatsoever. For all these thiogs, in as far as they contravene the foregoing enac ments, although a special mention of them may be necessary for their repeal, or some other torm, however particular necessary to be observed, we expressly annul and repeal. Moreover, we decree that if, in any other manner, any other attempt shall be made by any person, or hy any authority knowingly or ignorautty. to set aside these enactments s'ich attempt shall be null and void." But how can we for one moment indulge in selfish feelings when, through that loving father's generous and wise counsels, thegie U-stof blesiings has just been be- stowed upon our country, by the restoration of its true Ca- tholic hierarchial government, in communion with the Site, of Peter. For on the 29th day of last mouth, on thefea-t of the Archangel St. Miei) et. Prince of the ileavenly Host, his Holiness Pope Pius IX. was graciou-Iy pleased toiseue his letters apostol c uuder the Fisiiermin's ring, conceived in terms of great weithtand dignity, wherein he substituted, for the eight apostolic vicariates heretofore existing, one archiepifcopd or metropolitan and twelve cpucopa) sees repealing at the same time, and annulling, all dispositions and enactments made for England by the Holy See with reference to its late for.n of ecclesiastical government. So that at pre-eut, and till such tiiiie As the Holy See'sha'l think fit otherwise to provide; we govern and still continue to govern, the counties of Middle-ex, Hertford, and Essex, as ordinary theieof, and tlluieliof Surrey, Sussex, Kent Berkshire, and Hampshire, with the islands annexed, as administrator with ordinary jurisdiction. Thenreat work, then, is complete; what you have long desired and praved for is granted. Your beloved country has received a place among the fair churches which, not maily constituted, form the splendid aggregate of Catholic communion: Catholic Englaud has been restored to its orbit in the eccle- siastical firmament, fio n which its light rad long vanished, and begins now anew its cour-e of legularly adjusted action round the centre of uni'3'ie source of jurisdiction, of light and of vigour. W hatev. r our sincere auachment and unflinching devotion to tile Holy See till now, theieisa new itinr^dient cast into these feedings a wanner gratitude, a tenderer affection, a piofounder admiratlo i, a boundless and endless sense of obligation f..r so new, so great, so sublime a girt, will be ad led to past sentiment* 01 loyalty and fidelity to the supreme Sje of Peter." -It has been also confidently affirmed that nothing has been effected beyond the change of a name! Can any one persua le this meeting that these high-sounding words and pretensions have uo meaning and power be)ond that of a change of name ?—The resolution affirms that the Pa ml proceedings furnishes a precedent for further aggressions, which I tm-t has been tairly supported by what I bave stated, but there is an lid. ditional argument supplied by the case of the Catholic Relief Act passed in 1829. That act was passed in a full and generous confidence that uo advantage wonld betaken, aid that it would give entire satisfaction lo our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects—and in reply to the objection made to the ab-euce of sufficient guarantees. Sir Robert Peel argued that this country would tie placed in the best position by a full and f>ee concession, in the event of any unexpected encroachments by the Papal power, and that if su.i1 were attempted he would be ready to propose or r-up- port such measures as might be deemed requisite to meet them. Now, I make not this statement as -ny indication of a wi-h for the renewal ot penal enactments, but tos'tow what were the sentiments entertained at that time—and it is clear that if the late proceedings of the Pope could have been foreseen the Government would not have been able to pass that Act tfinugh Parliament. I say then that the advantage taken 01 that measure affirds another grouu Ilor the apprehension of iarther aggressions. The oath pre, scribed by this Act was, of course, b:ndiug onlyonth>se who took oilice ovit < r military, bat the terms ot the nah clearly show the spirit and meaning of the Act, as the fal- lowing extracts prove: Section 2 I do declare that 1 do not believe that the Pop., of Rome halo or ou ditto have any temporal or civil ju. isdiction direclly or indirectly within this realm." Anu further—"Aud I do disclaim any in. tention to subvert the preseut Church Establishment as settted by law within tlvs leahn and I dototemoty awear that I never will exeici«e any privilege to which J am or may become entitled, to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion or Protectant government io the United Kingdom'' (loud and protracted cheering). There is one strong ar- gument against the re-establishment of such a powerful engine as that of a Roman Catholic hierarchy in this coun- try, arising from two distinctive principles and elements which exists between it, on the one hand, and an ecclesias- tical hierarchy of the Protestant Church of England, or of any Church government of any other Protestant denomina- tion on the other. The first is that the former denies the right of private judgment and the free use and interpreta- tiou of the holy IIcriptnres-while the latter allows both. The second is that the former acknowledges a foreign supre- macv-while the latter acknowledges none but that of the Queen of Englaud (cheers). He had given the question bis consideration in all its bearinSZ8; he bad read the various ekplanatioDII which had been made. and was convinced tbat the evil was one of danger which they ought not to des pise. Heiven forbid that they should do anything to per- suade the Queen an] the Government to re-enact penal measures. He would give them the ulmost exercise of the discipline and religion of their Church as far lIS could be allowed to those who acknowledge a foreiirn power, and so tar as was consistent with the rights and liberties of Eng- lishmen. He would, therefore, put it to the meeting espe- dally to apply their minds to thiri subject, endeavouring 10 cultivate the best feeling of Christian charity and kindness towards Roman Catholics; but at the same time as Eng- lishmen and as Protestants, in moderate but firm terms, express their loyalty and attachment to the Queen, and their determination in everything that was reasonable, fair, and right to support the liberty and privileges of this, country (cheers). JOAN E. W. ROLLS. Esq.. seconded the resolution that had been so ably put to the meeting by Mr. Williams. Mr. VACGHAN wished toofTerone remark in explanation. He had, already had a long and patient hearing, alld he should therefote only ask their attenti')l1 for a few minutes. The gentleman who had just addressed them stated that he (Mr. Vaughan) had expressed an opinion that he was actua- ted by a spirit of persecution; wheieas he had stated that, the spirit of persecution was threatened in the re-enactment of the penal laws. The question of degree was doubtful. He had never stated thateveryoue would lend him-elf to it; but Oil the contrary, that it was getting every day more difficult to throw dust in the eyes of the real and ?taunc h friends of c.vil end religious iil,(.rty, s ,ell I¡. always had considered bis 'rieip. Mr. William* (.cheers) The Rev. OWKN LEWIS (Di-nenting Minister) addressed the meeting from the bjdy of the hall, assuring them that- the Dissenters generally hy no means sympathised wLth ttw opintO/li of those who withheld themselves frum the move- ment against the aggression*(cheer»). Those whl) ca-iIIed at the supremacy of tire Queen were begjing the question. When he saw persons trying to throw cold water on the movement, he could not, as » Protestant Dis- senter, hdp speaking out, The history of Dissenters oT the right staup would S'IOW that they had never st >od aloof frjm the Clergy of the Church 01 England iu resi-ting the atrgressive measures of the Church ot Koine; and he hoped they never would (cheer-). It is a movement worthy of freedom of thought, and of the influence of the light ot in- telligence which had been shed forth in this kingdom (cheers). With respect to the re-enactment of penal laws, all he co"ld say was, May Heaven forbid It (cheers) Let their Roman Catholic brethren worship God, and if they have other objects which they consider worthy of wor>hi|>, let them do it (laughter). In the naineo! the Dissenters lie assured the meeting that they weie not opposed to the movement because of the sn; remacy of the Quse:) on the contrary, they were heart and hand with them (checrs). F. H. WILLIAMS, Esq., had th-* honour to propose the next lcsolut ion. SUHIEL HOMFRAY, Esq briefly seconded it. The Kev. Atr. BAUFIELD, Dissenting .Vlin ster, of New. port. said he could scarcely claim to be contideted to be a Dissenter ot the right stamp (laughter). He was not one of those who, upon such an occasion as the present, or upon aay other, would wi-h to see Popery aud tne Piotestant Church light it out. and s-tand by and come in for the spoils (laughter). He objected to legislative enactments for reli- gious purposes, and, therefore, although a Piotes ant, he was hound to oppose the Church of England continually (Oh. oh). His reasons were two-fold. The principles of civil and religious liberty forbade it, and Protestantism did not require it ("Question") Let them tell him what Popery was; was it a man, a B:shop, or was it a principle If it was a principle, could they put that down by law? They may put down a man they may stifle au expression but they could nut by law annihilate a principle (" Ques- tbn"). Sir T. PHILLIPS proposed the adoption of an address to her Majesty (a copy of which we give last week). W:iy were they met? They were met to say that they would not submit to aggression on the part of any foreign pre- late; and that they would not submit to laws, and that none of their fellow-subjects should be subjected, even of their own free-will, to laws which were thrust upon the country without the assent of Queen, Lords, aud Commons (loud cheers and a voice—"They may do as they like") He maintained that it was not the law of Eugland that any part of the subjects of the Crown were to be wiibdrawn ur were to be allowed to withdraw themselves from the law of tile land (cheers). Their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects hold so they told them, and, he believed, truly-no di- vided allegiance. They have. then, no right to withdiaw themselves from the laws of the country in which they live, and no right to subject themselves to foreign laws (cheers). He believed he was truly representing the effect of the Papal Bull, when he said that it would subject a portion of their countrymen to the common law of the Church of Rome. If he was wrong, he had c une to the conclusion contrary to his own prepossessions* He would never have tiken any part in ttm tnovt-ment if it had a tendency to endanger the principles of eivij aud religious liberty. He di.1 not regret that in his humble position he had aided in times gone by in relieving the Roman Catholics from those civil dbablliues to which they had been su^jecte I on ac- count of their religious persuasion. But, they must not forget that ti>r their relief measures were adopted in the belief that if the penal code ..ai dispensed with, they should live together ai fellow-subjects of the Rame Qaeen and citiz.'ns of the same counnonw-alth in spite of their religious divisions (cheers). But to be taunted as advo- cates of persecution, as these who have a desire to le-<,nalof the pe .al code which for three centuries affected a large part of the subjects of the Crown, was illiberal and unjust (cheers). He deeply, deeply regretted the allusion which had beeu made to past persecutions; but a) allusion had been made thereto he should not shrink from declarÏ:1jl therq, as -he hid. declared elsewhere, that it was not begun by Protestants (cheers). It was a painful page in history but it was not he who had introduced it to the meeting. He came to this meeting in the hope of being permitted to appeal to topics in which their Roman Catholic ancestors concurred. In other periods of the history of their common country they boldly said, We will not allow the laws of England to be changed the Papacy shall not withdraw us from our allegiance to the Crowu the clergy shall not withdraw themselves from the laws of the land, nor allow themselves to be so with- drawn spiritual causes shall not be taken by appeal to Rome." And he came there, he was bound to say. in tite hope—and he did not now abandon that hope—that their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects would repeifureinn aggres- sion (cheers). He made every allowance for the paiuful feelings uuder which they met their Roman Catholic coun- trymen, and for the excitement and anger which was roused in them when they contemplated thiT painful position in which they were plscad; and still he hoped that when calmer times artived, and better feelings regained their swav, theywontd be seen. like their ancestor- of old, stand- ing by the constitution and laws of the Imd in which they live, and not tiking a part with a foreign and usurped au- thority (he.,r, hear, loud cheery and a voice Neitner will wt"). Hewasgiad to hear that. It very much narrowed the question between them; and it depended on their Roman Catho ic fellow-countrymen whether they were now beginning an era of strife which all of them desired to avoid (che rs). Let tlwm remember that the aggr. ssion w»9 not ours Let them remember that for twenty long yea's we had gone on disregarding manifest violations of the E nau- cipaiion Act, and that it required this measure uf the Papal Government, which was as ufTfii-dve as he believed it to be injurious, alike to the authority of the Crown and to the I bei ty of the people, and not only injurious in its present effects, but cdculated to be most mischievous in the futuie, to induce them to say—"Thus far shou'd the Roman power KO, and no further" (cheers). Although the slrugg'e may be sharp and the conflict may be bitter and long, yet he had no fear of the results; but he confessed freely tnat he had ereat fear of the feelings which may be roused in the con- te-i (cheers). He had great fear that iliey and he may ask tor penal enactments; and he told his Roman Catholic fiiends, if they would permit him to call them so, tnat it depended on them what the future was 'o be (cheers). He had opened a book when Mr. Vaughan's speech was deli- vercd and when it was intimllte I tnat they were beginning the career of persecution which was pract sed by Protest- ants tor three hundred vear he had marked a few lines of the historv of Edward Vt Mary, and Elizibeth. He would now shut that book (cheers). He would not be the party, aa long as it could be prevented, to rou.e angiy feelings by ap- pealing to past cruelties an I h iving said so much, he hoped tbat nothing would escape him «h ch would add to angry, or excite hostile feelings. If anything should, it would be perfect yuniuteutiouat, and occtsioned by feelings which none of them, perhaps, could entirely control when addres- sing large bodies of men, animated by strong prepossessious (cheers) It was hIS intention to adhere as stiic:ly as po-sinle to what was involve t in the address he had to submit to their attention. They had already agreed to address Her M .jes- ty; and he had now risen to propose to them what that address should be. It would, of course, embody the reso- lutions to which they had already agreed but as they had been told to-day, aud had been told before, that this mea- sure against whicti so strong a feeling had been roused in England, was simply one of internal organization for the regulation of members of the Roman Catholic communion, he must especially ask those members of that communion who were present to bear with him whilst lie directed their attention to the language of the Papal brief than which nothing would be less appropriate or more uufortjuate, if the einl sought was merely the better government of the uTairsoi the Roman Catholic c uigregations iu this kinglloin. t'hepowrci timed is tli it of ruling the universal Church, which it is said by the but was committed by our Lord Jesus Cllfi«t to the Roinau Pontiff, ill the person of Saint Peter. The present exercise of th .t power in the plenitude of apostolical author ty, is the rt storatiou in the kingdom of Englaud, according to the common rules of the Roman Church, ot the hierarchy of Bishops named from sees con- stituted in the Papal brief, whereby, as we are told, there will be established one ecclt.sil1slical province, consisting of oue Archbishop aud twelve Bishops, his suffragans, who are to go.em clergy and laity according to the sacred canons and apostolical constitutions. This act is assimilated to that ot Gregory the Great, who established that hierarchy wliiih is said to have b.*en granted to the present Pontiff' to lestore. And it is declared lhat the rights and privileges of the ancient sees ol England shall not obstruct or hinder this proceeding of the Pontiff, who hss assumed thus to him- self a power to abrogate and annul the ancient pro. inces and dioceses of the Eng'ish Church (cheers). He would ask those of his dissecting friends who may be op|u>sed to Ciiurch establishments if they were prepared to submit to any such act as that on the part of a foieign p.,wer (cheers; ? The question between the Church airi them was a que tion, it may be, in the womb of time, to be submitted to Eoglinhmen and to the English legislature (clieers). But, for a foreign prelate to assume pOoYer to abrogate the IWO ancieut provillces of England, together with sees, which had existed before the mi-if on of Augustine, and to consti- tute a new province, IIlllst naturnlly give offence, excite suspicion, and rouse indiguati in (cheers). Was it auy wonder ch.1t strong feelings of doubt. suspicion, jealousy, and wrong ha 1 grown up in the minds of the people of England (cheers)? But it is said we do not understand the (anguageuf Papal rescripts, and most a-sjredly they are documents with which we have not beeu lately conversant. But what was the laugn ige of French rei ígioui periodicals, and especidly L'Uiuvers. an infLacutial organ 01 the Freuch Roman Cath die-? and did they not regard the recent mits-urcs ot the Papacy a a practical assertion in the realm of Eng and of the dormant hnt never abandoned claimi of Rone t., a universal snprell1 ICV 01 er Christendo II.

And .whal says Mr. A nbr»-e L sic Pnill'ps, who, iu a letter of congratulation t 1 L .rd Shrews- bury (III the re esta'li-hnient 01 the hieraichy i f the Eng- lish Catlio.i • Cnurcli, informs us he ha I CUIll,illllIl(¡1,d with the Holy See on the res oration of the hiciaichy, aud who surely, therefore, ought to understand a memure to the advancement of which he has conir buted. Why, after asserting for tbe Pontiff, aa an inheritance from Peter, tha duty aod the right to feeJ all the Iambi and all tbe »heep of Jesus Christ, and reminding us of the excommunication pronounced by the Pupal See against Queen Elizabeth and all her adherents, he adds that the Popes and every member of the Church of Rome have since that time, from the rising to the setting sun, anathematised the claims of the Protes- tant Church of England. Mr. Philipps then relates the following precious morsel of monkish history:—" We have signs enough from overv quarter to cheer and 10 console, and amongst these i. there one more Rdmirnble or moire cheering than the restoration of our long-lost hierarchy? The very name cho"en by our Holy Father for our Priiria- tial See is one of Catholic "fend happy omen. It was in the month of January. in the year of our Lord 1066, the King of England, the Blessed Saint Edward the Confessor, lav sick of his last illness iu his Royal Palace at Westminster, and as it is related by Saint Etred. Abbot of Rievaux Ahhev. in \oikshire, the holy king, a little before hi. dealh fell into a trance, in which he beheld two pious Benedictine monks of Normandy, whom he had formerly loved in his youth when an exile in that country. These monks fore- told to the King what, was afterwards to happen in England, they declared that the wretchedness of the English nation was exceeding great, and that it ptovoked the wrath of God, but that when it should come to the f.) He would send in his anger a minion of wicked spi. its into the land, who should grievously punish-it, and sever the green tree thereof from its stock, Lirithe space of three fur\on¡rs distance. but thd at length God would have mercy ul,on England, whell this sann tree should return again to its own root without the help of any man's h tnd. and bear fruit an.1 flourish. On hearing these words King Edward opened his eyes and awoke from his trance, and then related the vision he had seen to his Queen St. Editha, who stood b" his bedside a'ong with Harold his succe-sor, and Stigand Archbi.-hop of Canterbury. This vision of our great and holy king St. Edward has ever been dear to the Catholics of England, and the interpretation given to it byourCathotcance-tors is very remarkable. They understood the Mission of wicked Spirits to signify that of the Protestant Innovators, who in the 16th century pretended to reform the English Church. The cutting down and severing from its root the green tree lignified the separation of the English Church from the centre of Unity, the Root of the Ca'holic Church, the Holy See, which had been in a special manner more than to most of the other nation. the root and source of Christianity tv bcgland. But this tree was to be removed from tU root for the space of three furlongs. This was explained to me by a venerable English Catlwl¡c Peer. now no more, to signify that England should remain severed from Cat.iolic Unity during three centuries, alter which as the words of St. Edward testify it will return again to its own stock without the help of any tna»'s-Aa*ul, and bJnv t a £ ijj flourish." Have 1 not then shown that the claims or the Pope's brief, the assumptions of hi. titular Archbishop, the interpretations of foreign journalises, and the laiiyu>ge of Roman Catholic laymen, all confirm the views formed uv thepeotdeof England of the extent and character of the papal aggression. A' d when wonder is expressed at the resolute bear ing and indignant feelings of the Protestants of England uuder the wrongs by vvh ch tney have been roused, the men «ho are unable to interpret this manifestation of a nation's will must have forgo'ten the struggles through which our forefathers passed, as wed as Ihe sufferings to which they were exposed in the conflict with the Papal power; and that the suspicion (groundless although it was) that one of their monarchs was favourable to Panal ascend- ancy, contributed amongst other cir.-umstances to his death on the scaffold, whilst another was d'iveii from his throne for the attempt to subvert the English Chtirc' and iule this country by Papal instruments (hear, lienr). He now gladly dismissed that subject; but with their permission he wou'd allude to one question of practical importance, aud that was the question of supremacy. He was satisfied tha; his friends the Dssenters w.ere wholly mistaken iu the view they took of the supremacy of the Crown, as maint >ined hv lawyers. The conflicts with the Papal court Oil ibi supr/- macy began suon after the Norm in conquest, and originated iu attempts on the put of Home to withdraw certain per- sons, namely, ecclesiastics, and certain cau es which were called spiritual, from the ordinary tribunals of the country, and 10 commit such causes aud persons to the jurisdiction of the Bi-hops exercising what was called ordinary jurisdic- tion in courts termed spiritual, w.th the ultimate appeal ffom such courts to Rune. as the mistress and hea l of all Christian people. Against these c!aitns on the pait of Rome, English sovereigns and the English legislature struggled with more or less of success thi ough many reigns; but it was not until the accession of Elizabeth that"the usurped power of the Bishop of Rome was finally extin- gu'shed iu this country, and all Jursdctioll and superiority, spirtual or ecclesiastical. which had theretofore heeu, or might lawfully be, exercised in this realm, were for ever united and annexed to the Crown by a statute passed in the first year of her reign. That the word" spriritual" was used in the statute of Elizibeth in the sense of ecclesiasti- cal is shown by Lord Coke. And that learned lawyer lias irrefragably proved, that the statute simply restored to the crown the ancient jurisdiction over the state ec-lesiast cal, and did not vest in the Sovereign that species of spiritual headship which some persons now mistakenly aitribute to the royal supremacy (cheers). That the supremacy annexed to the Crown by the statute was limited to the chief power or rule over all estates and cause or was a supremacy or jurisdiction, which may be termed in modern language, the supremacy of the law, is shown by the 37th ,.f the Articles or the Church of Eugland, agread to in the 5th year of the reigll of Queen E izabeth, wherein it is dectare i_" That the Queen's Majesty haili the chief power in this realm of England, unto whom the chief government of all estates whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, doth appertain, aud is not, nor ought to be, sui ject to any foreign jurisdiction." To remove any doubt of tile sense of this article, it is de- clared thereby, that no more is attributed to her Majesty than that prerogative which has always been given to godly princes il) Holy Scripture by God h) rnsdf, t hat they should rule all estates and degrees committed to their charge by God; whether they be ecclesiastical or temporal, and re- strain with the c,vil aword the stubborn aud etil doers (cheers). Tha Kev. Mr. THOMAS interposed and invited Sir T. Phil- lips's attention to a sentence in the statute of Elizibeth, whi.:h gave power to vi^it,repress, redress, reform, correct, restrain, and anend all such heresies, abuses, contenpts aud enormities whatever, &c." Sir T. PnILLIPS resumed—He begged Mr. Thomas to carry his recollection to the reign of Charlm L, in which that power which had been eternised by the high com- mission court of the Church was put an end to b, statute. Was the rev. gentleman sstUfied? Henry llu Eighth was Cdied the H.-ad of the Church" but E'izabeth refused to receive the title, and s-it, •• fhat is a na ne which has been given to Christ, and to Christ only. By no mortal whatso- ever can it be borne" (hear). He pressed upon his Roman Catholic friends that the ECllaneillation Act wascondnional; and that the appointment of Bishops and Archbishops to sees in England ur Ireland was contrary to the spirit, if not to the actual letter of the law of the land, and was a violation of that law which ought not to be permitted to continue. The 24th section of that statute declared the Protestant Episcopal Church of Engtandtui Ireland, and the doctrine, discipline, and government thereof, and the Protestant Pres- byterian Church of Scotland, an 1 the doctrine, discipline, and government thereof to tie permanently and inviolably established and enacted that no person, other than the per. sons thereunto authorised by law, shall assume or use the narne, style. or tille of Archbishop of any province, or Bishop of any Bishopric in England or Ireland. And the 28ih and 29th sections provide for the gradual suppress on and final prohibition of Jesuits and members of other religions orders of the Church of Koine bound bymondSticvows (he r). Th.,re were other top cs which he might have pressed on the consideration of the meeting; but lie sluuld he want- ing ill a grateful appieciation of the kindness with which they had listened to him, if at the present hour of the even- ing lit* .had prolonged the meeting. He then read the address. One pas-age in that a ldress repudiates that fo- reign ecclesiastical supremacy which we believe to be ela mtd by the Papal Bull a supremacy which was ex- tinguished by the Parliament of Elizibeth, and which has not. as we beiieve. been resioren in whole or in part by the 10 Geo. 4, p i sed for the relief of U.un ni Catholics. Wall the view in maintaining a supremacy in the Pone or of proving his authority to do the acts of which we com'olaiu. Air. Jones read a leltor, recently addressed bv the Bishop of St Divid's to the Archbishop of Canterhurv. And. ill .0 far as that letter maintains or suggests that tbe Roman Catholic Relief Act weakened, or limited, or altered the royal supremacy, as re-'ogmsed and secured by tne sta- tute of Elizabeth over all persons, in all ca e», it seems to proceed 011 a mistaken view of that important question (hear). This is uot a suitable occasion for entering upon a legal argument; but I am reminded by my friend Mr. Williams that the portion of the A-t of Elizibeth, which allirms the royal supremacy, is recognised as a continuing enactment in two acts of the pte>eut reign, namely, the 7 and 8 VIC. c. 102, and the 9 and 10 Vic. c. 59. Be would oifer one Word in conclusion, He hope I and trusted he had discussed the subject in a becoming temper, and with a full appreciation of its importance, tie regarded it not as an occasion on which men should be excited and goaded to the expression of intolera it ,ie,n and feelings towards any pottion of their fellow subjects; but as 1111 occasion 0'1 which they should all enfo-ce the principles of mutual tolerance couscious that uniess this influence was exercised they would in the conliict b cp "e intolerant, and do that wbicb they would bitterly regiet themselves, and would leave it might be. a legacy of mutual hatred to their children's children. J. GKEENFIELD, Esq., «aid—He had thi honour to stand up thereto second the humble address to her Majesty which they ha! heard read. He firmly believed that many, nay, the majority of the Roman Catholic laity did disapprove of the. uuadvi>ed step which tbe Pope and his advisers had taken. They could not expect but that they would make an attempt to defend themselves. Really this is an unprovoked and unfair step; still they were bound as go ul Roman Ca- tholics (laughter) t) be the.e and fBf a word for themselves (cheers), tie gave them credit or he) eving in theirhearts and cou'science8 that they profes-cd the trae religion of Christ; Inri he respected them the more for having tried to defend themselves (cheers). The address was theu carried UV acclam t, G. K. G. IIKI.PII E<q., ( egged leave to conclude by pro- posing the vote. I thanks to tue High Sheriff (cheers) The Rev. Ii.

It threatened the disruption of our glorious Ref 'rmation; it insulte i the prerogative of the Crown; it ignored the Protestant Church in all its depart- ments; it threatened to strike the standard of religious liberty; it degraded the whole British nation by writing it "Cootie England;" and ouly let the spil it and intention of the act be cair ed out. tnd then—guided by the history of the Papacy, a history which extended over a period of more than one thousand years, to s iy nothing about thu history being written in blood—ihere was no difficulty in seeing that the tendency of this uggress ve act would ue the placing of a mighty antagonist 111 the way of the angel of mercy, while euga;ed in hfr embassy III sdvation To man (ioud cheers).
