ITO TILE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.']

SIR,—In the Creed of the Council of Trent the term "Roman Catholic" is used. There can be no discourtesy in applying to a Church the epithet employed in its own most solemn document. And it is hard to understand how any member of that Church can say that the term was invented and first used in opprobrium, that it connotes what is untrue, or that it is an infringement of their trade-mark.—I am, Sir, &c.,
