PRINCIPAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH AND IRISH CATHOLICS BETWEEN THE YEARS 1813 AND 1821.

1813-1821.

WE shall now present to our readers an account of the principal circumstances in the history of the British and Irish catholics, from the time which the preceding pages have reached, till the present.— These are, I. The resolution of the English catholies in 1813, to persist in their endeavours to obtain a repeal of the remaining penal laws: II. The expulsion of doctor Milner from the private board, or the select committee of the general board of the British catholics: III. And the further petitions of the British and Irish catholics to parliament, and the proceedings upon them.

LXXXVII. 1.

The Resolution of the Board of British Catholics in 1813.

ON the 29th of May 1813, which was almost immediately after the bill for the relief of the catholics was lost, the board of the British catholics passed two unanimous resolutions: by the first, they returned thanks to the members of the house of commons, who had supported the bill: by the second, they expressed their determination not "to

"relax their efforts to procure relief from the pe"nalties and disabilities, under which they suf"fered." The earl of Shrewsbury was in the chair: the resolutions were moved by Lord Stourton, and seconded by lord Arundel of Wardour.

LXXXVII. 2.

It proceeded to state that, "many ca"tholics in England, and many more in Ireland, objected to the clause in the oath of 1781, respect

ing the protestant succession, as it might be "thought to bind them to take up arms against "their sovereign, if he should profess their religion:" on this ground, he submitted a change in the terms, by which they should declare, "their "entire submission to the limitation of the pro"testant succession as established by law." Upon the last head, the writer must observe, that he has never yet met with a single catholic, ecclesiastic or lay, who objected to the oath. It has been taken by all the bishops in Ireland, all their coadjutors,
