Letter from Dr Troy to Robert Marshall. Item transcribed in Castlereagh Correspondence, Vol i, p.176:The Rev. Dr. Troy to Robert Marshall, Esq. 1 Monday, April 9, 1798. My dear Sir Conformably to my promise, I enclose a draft of the paragraph to be inserted in all our Dublin papers on the subject so often mentioned. Something of the kind is absolutely necessary to remove the fatal impression made by the calumnious report which has operated most dreadfully, and must continue to do so, unless contradicted in the most authentic and public manner. In submitting the enclosed to your consideration, I do not mean it should be exclusively adopted. No ; you may improve or alter it at discretion, retaining always the main point that is, the exculpation of the Eoman Catholic Prelates. I must observe to you that even a suspicion of having written, or in any manner suggested, the enclosed would not only destroy the intended effect, but increase the obloquy against my brethren in general, and expose myself, in particular, to danger ; I must, therefore, beseech you, my dear sir, to burn the en- closed and these lines, after taking a copy of the former, and to procure the insertion of whatever you may think expe- pedient in the public prints, at the instigation of Government alone ; which, indeed, is principally interested on that occa- sion, as the guardian of good order. With respect to what I mentioned concerning a meeting of some clergymen at Denmark Street Chapel, in the beginning of next July, I shall only add, that the objects of it are per- fectly harmless ; and that, if required by Government, I shall be responsible for their conduct on the occasion. Harmless, however, as it is, they wish for the permission of Government to prevent every inconveniency. I request it may be granted, and remain, &c., T. JOHN TROY. I refer you to my former letter respecting the calumny, &c.
