Inviewofthecelebrationsthisyear ofthecentenaryofBelgianindependence,thisletterisofgreathistorical value.TheLiberatordealsinconsiderabledetailwiththethenpositionin theNetherlands,withspecialreference tothepositionandoutlookoftheCatholicpopulation.

ThisinterestingepisodeinO'Connell'scareerhasbeenneglectedby mostofhisbiographers.

Thesentimentswereexpressedina letterreplyingtoaninvitationtoattendameetinginCorktocelebrate theoverthrowofthedespotsinFrance andtheNetherlands.TheLiberator wrotefromDerrynane,andashewas unabletoattendthemeetingheoutlinedhisviewsandopinionsinconsiderabledetail.

Igiveafewexcerptsfromthismost interestingandimportantdocument:-

"IfIwereatthemeeting,Ishould endeavourtoextendthecongratulationtotherecentrevolutionarymovementinBelgium;atleastofsympathyforthesufferers,shouldtheir movementbeultimatelyunsuccessful. ItrusttheywillflingofftheKing whichEnglandandherHolyAlliance havethrustuponthem.Therenever wasamoreatrociousactoftyranny thantheimposingtheDutchKing onthepeopleofBelgium.Itwasas undisguisedapieceofdespotismas everyetwasexhibitedtotheworld.

"TheinhabitantsofBelgiumwere neverconsulted-neitherweretheir feelings,opinions,orinterestsregarded. Itsuitedthecapriceorthevicious viewsofthemilitarydespots,who,at thatfatalperiod,'toppedtheuniverse,' toprostratethe,Belgianpeoplebefore thefoot-stoolofthegrossDutchmanandtheydidso.Suchisthefoundation-stoneoftheallegianceduebythe Belgianstotheirlatemasters. -

"TheKingoftheNetherlands,however,becameaprimefavouritewith theEnglishnation.HehasbeensustainedbytheBritishPressinalmost allhisactsofoppression.Whyhas heacquiredsomuchhonouramongst theEnglish?Fortworeasons:First, they,theEnglish,arethemostProtestant-priest-riddennationinthe world;and,secondly,theDutchKing wasa'Protestantwhobehavedwith themostconsummateinjusticetohis Catholicsubject's.Suchwasthe sourceofhispopularityinEngland.

"AsaCatholic,Ihavelongwatched overtheconductoftheBelgians-admiredtheirhonestandperseveringpatriotism-andfeltsympathyintheir suffering,andcompassionfortheirundeservedfall.Theywereoppressed athomeandcalumniatedabroad."

Theletterthendealsindetailwith theattitudeoftheKingtowardsthe appointmentofCatholicBishops."The point,"itstates,"onwhichtheKing behavedwiththemostundisguised oppression;wasthatwhichrelatedto theChurch:heinsisteduponacompletedespotisminthenominationof CatholicBishops.Theclergyhonestlyandfirmlyresisted. ."

Next,O'Connell'sletterdealsat lengthwiththevariousactsofthe DutchKinginsuppfessingCatholic

Inwritingthustothepromotersof theCorkmeeting,theLiberatorobviouslydesiredthatthediscussions shouldbecorrectlyinformed,andthat therightviewshouldbeheldbyIrish CatholicsconcerningtheContinental upheaval,aboutthemeritsofwhich few,ifany,Irishmenofthetimehad abetterappreciationthanhehad.
