NORFOLK.

A very praiseworthy petition for its liberality, and exhibition of principles free from the trammels of creeds and ceremonies (as the only sure guides) was lately forwarded from a body of the clergy of Norwich to the House of Commons, in behalf of the Roman Catholics of the empire. We include it in our pages as a mark of our admiration of men, who love principle more than interest.

"We, the undersigned, being clergy of the established Church of England, in the diocese of Norwich and county of Norfolk, beg leave to approach your honourable house with the expression of our feelings upon the subject of those claims which are now again to be brought before parliament by our fellow subjects of the Roman Catholic persuasion.

"Grateful for the protection which we ourselves have so long enjoyed, and confident that the same regard to the interests of the established religion, which has hitherto been displayed by the legislature, will continue to guide their measures, we should have remained silent upon this occasion, had not a cousiderable

considerable body of our professional brethren in this diocese come forward, with groundless alarm, as it appears to us, to oppose even the consideration of those claims by parliament. From their opinions upon this point, as well as from their present mode of proceeding, we entirely dissentwe feel no such alarm; on the contrary, we wish these claims to receive from your honourable house the fullest consideration, and we trust that the result of such consideration will accord with the wishes of every friend of Civil and Religious Liberty.

"It is not for us to dictate in any way to your honourable house; but we hope that it will not be deemed presumptuous in us to express our decided opinion, that a mild and conciliatory system of policy towards all classes of its subjects is, under Providence, the best and surest support of every government; and that as, in a free government like our own, nothing but a necessary regard to the safety of the established constitution can justify the enactment of any laws of a restrictive nature, and especially in matters of religion, so ought such laws to remain no longer than the occasion which called for them may continue to require."
