ferved, that Mr. Candour, Advocate for the Roman Catholics, has, throughout the whole proceedings, greatly the advantage of the Ser jeant; into whofe fcale more weight might poffibly have been thrown, had the Author aimed at any thing lefs than to procure the Counsellor a full and compleat victory. Poffibly, however, by overzealously labouring every point in favour of his Clients, he may have fhot beyond the mark, and proved too much.

Few impartial Readers, we believe, will allow, for instance, that the horrid ftory of the general infurrection of the Irish Roman Catholics, 1641, and the maflacre of the Protestants which enfued, (of which Sir John Temple, and others, have given molt dreadful and shocking accounts) is nothing but an old woman's fable! The Author has, indeed, taken great pains to demonftrate, that the Froteftant world hath been much deceived by partial and aggravated relations of that infurrection; and he hath certainly, in part, fucceeded in his endeavours to extenuate the guilt of the Roman Catholics in this refpect; but it might be no hard talk to prove, from his own ac count of the matter, that they were certainly more culpable than he feems willing to admit. On the whole, however, we cannot but fincerely and heartily recommend this work to the candid confideration of those who are interested in the subject.

The ultimate view of the Author is, to thew the reasonableness and expediency of abating the rigour of the popifi laws. I would humbly propofe, fays the able Counsellor Candour, That, for the better fecurity of his Majesty's crown and government in the kingdom of Ireland, by interefting Irish Catholics in the guardianship thereof; for stopping the perpetual drain of the fpecic or political blood of that nation; for deriving ftrength to Irish Protellants, from the good will and affiftance of Irith Papids, with whom they are unavoidably, tho' difcontentedly, affociated; for acquiring immediate and inconceivable opulence to the State, from the animated induttry of tw thirds of the people; for doubling the yearly and natural value of Ireland, by giving Papifts an intereft in the reclaiming of our lands; for giving them caufe to oppofe our common enemies, by giving them a common ftake to retain and defend; for giving them caufe to contribute to our profperity by admitting them to a legal participation thereof; it is humbly propofed, I fay, that our patriot Legislature, fo ftudious in other refpects for the advancement of their country, fhould make fuch an abatement or alteration of the faid difabling laws, as, to their fuperior wifdom and difcernment shall appear requifite, for leffening the many evils that are thereby created; and for reftoring the many benefits that are thereby fupprefied."

To conclude, in whatever light this animated and ingenious performance may appear to the prejudiced and the Bigot, we cannot but aflent to the following well adapted lines, which Mr. Brooke has chofen for his motto:

Wherever Truth and Int'reft fhall embrace,
Let Paffion cool, and Prejudice give place.

It is fully apparent that thefe Remarks were dictated by the warm, refentment of a perfon who apprehends himself to have been injured by the proceedings on the trial of Capt. Lynch; and his motive for laying before the public his thoughts on the conduct of the other Court-martial above-mentioned, in which it does not appear that he was any way perfonally concerned, was, obviously, to contraft the different behaviour of the two Courts; the one acting. in his opinion, with a becoming impartiality; the other, in a very different The Remarker has certainly the indifputable advantage of having his opinion countenanced by the higheft fuffrage; his Majefty having thought proper to confirm the fentence of the firft-mentioned Court-martial, but not that of the latter.

manner.

Lieutenant Governor Thickneffe, of Landguard-Fort, we apprehend, is the prefent Complainant; and, in truth, he seems to have met with fufficient caufe of complaint, according to the reprefentation of the cafe, as contained in thefe Remarks ;-but, nevertheless, we cannot help thinking, that the ardour of his refentment, however juftly founded, has carried him too far, in fome of his reflections and that he has, wandered greatly out of his way, in his obfervations on the effects of popular clamour, as exemplified in the cafe of the unhappy Admiral Byng, the affair of Lord George Sackville, and the ftories of Elizabeth Canning, Archibald Bower, and the Cock-lane Ghoft.
