Sir , Bridport , May , \ 822 * YOUR respected correspondent Mr-Rutt , With bis usual zeal for thie interests of the Repository , altbx >» gU » ot perhaps with his usual judgme&t , furnished to the number far January , ( pp . 28 , 29 , ) a private letter , written
in 1801 , by the late Bev . T . Howe , tp the Rev . Gilbert Wakefield . On g ouae of the statements in this letter , a person who subscribes himself " An Old Dissenter , " has thought proper to aijimadvert , < pp . 158 , J 69 , ) and he h ^ s accompanied his criticism with some
remarks pn the pharacter of the late Dr « Toutoiia and the conduct Qf Mr . Howe , which cannot be perused by the friends of either without pain . Mr . Rutt has noticed , in your last number ,
( p . 215 , ) the " Old Dissenter ' s"letter , but ,, since he has omitted any comment on that part of it which relates to Mr . Howe ' s conduct , it will not , I trast , be unseasonable to follow up his remarks by a few additional observations .
Mr . Howe introduces the following statement : " It seems as if there xvqs a scheme in agitation among our great men * to emancipate the Catholics , without granting- any relief to the Protestant Dissenters . This I conclude fro hi a letter I received last week from our
good fHend Dr . Toulmin . The following is $ n extract : ' A letter from London this week informs me , that endeavours are using by those in power , to prevail with British Dissenters to let the Catholic emancipation takepla ^ e without putting in their claims to equal freedom , &c . Some classes who have
been applied to are said to be as quiet as government wishes them to be / " There is truly nothing very obscure or c < hard to be understood" in -this statement . Let us see , however ^ what the * ' Old Dissenter" makes of it .
" D *< Toulmin , " he says , speakipg of Mr . lfpwe ' s letter , " is reported to fyave received a letter from London , informing him tliat , in order to obstrvet and defeat a proposed application of
the Catholics for a repeal of the Test Laws , die Dissenters of several classes wished to wave Aheir petition for redress of this grievance , lest the Catholics should succeed in their endeavours
