"The Catholic Question.

—————

"The Catholic Question awaits the recovery of Mr Grattan,
"who hopes to be able to bring it forward in person. On Saturday
"sennight, the Catholic Deputation waited upon him with an
"Address, on which occasion he read the following answer:'

Stephen's Green, May 13 1820.

"Gentlemen — I avail myself of your Deputation to give
"you a very decisive opinion touching the interests of the Roman
"Catholic Body.

"I am convinced that it is their policy, as well as their
"duty, and I am sure it is their disposition, to maintain a
"perpetual connexion with the British Empire.

"To keep clear of every association with wild projectors
"for Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, and
"to continue to cultivate those gracious dispositions in the
"Royal breast which had been early manifested in their
"favour, and to accept of Emancipation upon the terms
"that are substantial and honourable; pursuing such a
"principle, and with the temper and conduct which they
"are manifesting, and which I am proud to contemplate,
"they must succeed.

"They deserve a privilege to worship their God
"according to the best of their judgment, and they have a
"right to do so with impunity, and without the interference
"of the State.

"I shall go to England for your Question, and
"should the attempt prove less fortunate to my health,
"I shall be more than repaid by the reflection that I
"make my last effort for the liberty of my Country.

"I have the honor to be, Gentlemen,
"Your very obedient and attached humble Servant
"Henry Grattan.

"To the Gentlemen composing
"the deputation appointed by the
"Meeting of Roman Catholics."
