ROME, JANUARY 18. of Foreign Missions labours with zeal to re-establish its relations with va ,of the world. One of the most happy Iskubtedly is the special protection which its "have obtained front China and Abyssicia. from Pekin, that the Emperor, having "PM from the tribunal of iorship of the • • • • • . _ entilieei passed agaieit th e Jesuits, Wrote act dwDOl- tom of the report s with his red, or indelible pen * k ei Let the Edict of the 11th January, 1724 4 cease to be a law of the Empire. There is only one GOD, and this GOD cannot be offended with the diversity of names which are given to him.". Any thing writ ten with :he red pencil can never be recalled: De crees in other colours may be altered. Actording to this Imperial decision, the Edict of Toleration of the Great Emperor Kang-Hi . of 1672, sand that of 1711, have been again transcribed from the Tribunal of Rites, and transmitted, sealed with the great seal, covered with yellow satin, to Don Gaspaed della Cruce, a Portuguese. It is remarkable that it was a Dominican of this name and of the same nation, who, in 1536, was the first to introduce the Christian Religion into China. Nothing can be more agreeable to the Court of Rome than to see the Christian religion introduced into so extensive an Empire as that of China, at a pe riod in particular when mostof the Princes of Europe, by proclaiming the toleration of religion in countries ' essentially Catholic, seem to slacken the ties which united them to the Holy See. His Holiness received with the most lively joy, this pleasing intelligence. Father della Croce had the honour to be presented to him by his Eminence the Cardinal Secretary -of State, along with the four novice Chinese Jesuits, who were conducted to the Audience Chamber by M. Concelliett, Director of the Propaganda. We are assured that the Edicts of the Chinese Em peror reached our Court through the Portuguese Ambassador. Twelve Jesuits will be sent to China in Spring. His Holiness has addressed a brief felicitation to the Emperor of China to thank him.

At a Meeting of the Committee of the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the Three Denominations, held at WILLIAMS'S Library, Red Cross•street, on Monday, January 29, 1816, It was unanimously Resolved, That the Committee, at length feel it au imperious duty to declare publicly, that they have never bad any connection with the Association denominated, " The Protestant Society ;"—that, sufficient evidence, the Com taittee can assure the Public of the correctness of their own pub lic statements ;—end that the cOntribotions which have been, or still may be, entrusted to their ears, continue to be highly neces sary, amt will be appropriated to the eilklent relief of the Pro- testants in the South of France, whose sefietinp have net only equated, but have exceeded, the representations given by the Committee. TUOIMIAS MORGAN Sec. After Mr. MARRON'S first letter was published, it was denied by the abettort of persecution that he had sent any other of a contrary tendency. In his second letter, published the day before yesterday, he him self alto denies it, and yet, in the very same sentence, admits that he did write to the Rev. R. A. Nor is this all—he admits that it was of a contrary tendcricy to that first published ; for with a profligacy of , expression highly unbecoming a Minister of Religion, he adds, that G 4 he might have gilded a little the frill, and have roftrard the crudity of the refusal." This pill still exists, and will, we hope, be exhibited id the public, that they may form a correct opinion of the President's qualifications for pill making. This k the same man that administered gilded pill, to Bonaltarte, then to the Bourbons, then to the Rev. R. and lastly to "My dear G.". A Mail from Holland arrived this morning, but it brings no intelligence,of any public interest. The SPEAKER'S first Parliamentary levee will be on Saturday, the 14th instant. Lord CASTLEREAGH had 'a late party to dinner yesterday, at his house in St. James's.sqinfre. His Lordship will gise anoth er large dinner to•morrow. The Lobbies of bath Houses of Parliament, yester day, presented a singular spectacle. The printed copies of the numerous Treaties, recently concluded, were brnueit down, and enough to load several wag. gons were 12.eposited the avenue* of each House.— The printing of the above Treaties consumed aboie two hundred and fifty thousand sheets of paper. All that is important among these papers has already been, published. We however insert again the Con vention respecting the case and custody of BONA PARTE, as the phraseology is a little different from the translation before given, and the document it in other respects a curious one. The LORD MAYOR has, in consequence of a Re. quitition for, that purpose, appointed a Court of Common Council on Thursday next, to petition Par liament against the renewal or continuance of the Property Tax. , His Lordship has also, in conse. crionce of another Requisition, signed by several of the Livery, appointed a Common Hall fir, the same purpose on Friday next, at twelve o'clock. The French General TRATOT, Whose arrest is men tioned in the Paris Papers received yesterday, served ,in the wars of La Vendee during the early part of the Revolution: ,He we* a most furions Republican and Leveller. He commanded at 'Nantes when the unfortunate RoYalist General CHARWETE was shot. Bomar/41am made him,* Member of the Legion of ll , mour, and Louis XVIIL confirmed him in all his dignities and emoluinents: in return for this kindness, he declared for BONAPARTE at Nantes, where he was most. imprudently entrusted with a command. In June, 1815 i he MS called to the mock Climber of Peers, of short.lived memory, and in July he once more declared his adhesion to the Bourbon Dynasty. Fie is now in a fair way, we trust, of reaping the fruits of all his crimes. ST. SVEANNE, who has been also arrested, accord ing to the same accounts, was a Republican Gonad, and afterwards one of BONAPARTZ'S Senators: he was I retained in the House of Peers by Louis XVIII. de dared fur .13otaaranTa on his escape from Elba, and after the battle of Waterloo, as might have been ex rcted, declared again for thri &mom ?RYGHroM ;EBRVARr S. • • Yesterday afternoo n hi s R oya l Hi g h ness t h e D u k e Of CUMBRRLAND paid .1 visit to the PRINCE RaorwT, at the Pavilion.

COVEN r GAMIN.—The new Afterpiece of the Pori Pono was last night again acted, and with suc cess corresponding with the expectations which it ex cited on its first representation.

After the performance-of the play, in which he saw Mr. BRAN in Sir Giles Over-reach, he visited the Green-room, in company with several of the first fashion in town, and there experienced a reception as grateful to his feelings, as .to the feelings of the , company, who hailed him as the • Father of Modern .

SMITH, PALMY CALLING HERSELF FIBLDEIt. This was a cause of Truliity of marriage, promoted by.). Fielder, E q. of St. George's, H tnover.square, against Sophia Augusta, his wife, by reason of her mi. nority at the time the marriage was solemnized, whit h was by licence, on the 13th of May, /797, at the Church of St. James, Westminster. They had issue 12 children, as suggested by Counsel, though' not in evidence. It was pleaded, in addition to the minority, that she was an illegitimate child, and that the mar riage was contracted subsequent to her father's death, and that the consent of the mother was not a legal consent, under such r"nenetartees, there bein g no guardian appointed by the Court of Chancery. On the part of the wife it was contended, that there was a total failure of proof of all the necessary facts in this case.—Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, after several perti nent remarks as to the length of time the party had lived together, was of opinion, that there was rys tisfetctory proof to justify the Court in pronouncing; the marriage null and void, and, therefore, dismissed the party from the suit. HAZARD and Co. Contractors for the Lottery, se. spectfully request sych of their friends as have any predilection for particular Numbers, to be early in their application, as, from the encreasing demand, the delay even of a few days may be productive of serious disappointment. To those among their cus tomers who take them at Hazard, they beg to say that they have now a great variety of Numbers on Sale. It seems to be a very general opinion that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will suffer that favoured child of necessity, the Property Tax, to t.:•e a natural death. Whether this will be-the case or not we pretend not to divine; but we think we could point out a very easy way of rendering the ba n tl irg inoffensive, and that not by any vain attempt to ciu,:e its operation; but by placing all who ate subject to it'in a situation to bid it defiance. Tctenty-fire Thousand Guineas, for instance, or Twenty Thot sand Pounds, and such things the present Lotteiy holds out, invested in the Funds, would prod:ice near £1,500 a-year for ever; and who upon such a writ, and so obtained, would grudge the paltry tax of 1U 'per cent? . .
