w. be was so circumspect and delicate in this point, that be even refused to give his opinion respecting the Ron man dominion exercised over the Jewish people, in spite of having been provoked to do so by the Phari sees, to whom, evading the question, he replied, if Render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and unto GOD those which are Goo's." A reply fill of prudence and wis dom. admirable in all respects, and which in a few words comprehends all the plan of the Gospel respecting civil Governments. -The principles of doctrine and conduct adopted by JESUS Centst to place Civil Governments apart from all Ecclesiastic:4l interferilice, being so clear, solid, and luminous, what have such, Governments to fear from Authorities witich not mai have no power to intermeddle in such affairs, Out even have no right to express an opinion, if they wish to follow the example of their DIVINE MASTER? INHABITANTS or THE STATEr•-•YOn see clearly that to profess the religion of your crucified Kurtzman, you are so fat from being required to renounce yourliberty and independence, that you are called upon to repress the excesses of some vhicked Ministers, who, pretending to decide on points beyond their competence, dishonour the religion which they preach by infringing its pre cepts. Neither the do mas of Christianity nor its worship, nor the juris tion of its Ministers, which is purely spiritual,. and has nothing of physical power, nor the means of supporting this religion, which are reduced to exhortation, good examole, patience, and the exercise of all the virtues, have anything to do with the form of Government under which the nations in which it exists are constituted. It has no right to dictate whether they shall be subject to a foreign Chief or not—whether or not they shall maintain relations with the other parts of the world, or whether they shall have Juntas or Assemblies to prescribe their re spective fundamental laws. What then shall we say of the encyclic which embraces the decision of such points? The Kings who took the title of Catholic, such as Fer dinand the Catholic, Charles V. the Defender of the church, Philip 11. the Pious, would have characterized the document, like they did so many others, as being turbulent and seditious; but your Congress, guided by the principles of moderation which animate it, see only in it a monument of that human weakness from which the successor of St. Peter unhappily is not exempt. if the doctrine of the Gospel, confirmed by the ex ample of its Holy Founder, not only does not confer power on the ministers of the sanctuary to interfere in sivil cases, but even cap ressly prohibits them from so interfering, who can doubt, that whatever be their ecclesiastical rank or dignity, the same Gospel does not warrant them to reprobate systems of government and national independence? From the sth and 6th centuries of Christianity, a scandalous struggle has been maintained between the priesthood and civil au thority. If we proceed to trace the origin of all the n.isfortunes and disturbances which have occurred in the Church, and of the celebrated conflicts which have taken place between the Ministers of the Altar and the Sovereigns of States, it will be seen that allot them have had their commencement in the mutual encroachments which they have made on deb other's jurisdiction, and in both authorities having passed their proper limits. The rulers ofUations pretend to decide on the dogmas of religion, and the Head of the Church assumed the power of pronouncing on the validity of their laws, and the legitimacy of their appointment. Open force, and ruling prejudice, often decided these important points to the manifest contempt of reason and justice, and to the positive injury of religion and civil authority. Let history be appealed to, and we shall see the Greek Emperors co mpromising the tranquillity of their States, by entering into disputes about the divinity of the word, the preces sion of the Holy Spirit from the FATHER and Sox, the worship of images, and other similar points, shamefully abandoning the defence of their subjects, and allowing. the Turks, by their culpable negligence, to advance unopposed to the gates of Constantinople. On the other hand, we may behold the Bishops and Priests throwing away their pastoral staff, and with it all the meekness of the Gospel, in order to grasp the sword and to shed the blood of those whom Jews CHRIST came to save, and not to condemn—whom he commanded them to convince, not to persecute—whose understandings they were required to purge from error—whose hearts they were to free from vice, but whose persons they had no authority to destroy. These priests, from whom other things might have been expected, becoming the apostles of fanaticism, propagated doctrines the most subversive and seditious against the independence of nations, and abandoning the characters of ministers of peace, laid waste, by fire and sword, kingdoms and empires. The scandalous actions of Pope Gregory VII. the c-mduct of Innocent 111. and Boniface VIII. (to omit others), shew in the most decisive manner that the cc. clesiastical authority has never, without injury, trans gressed its prescribed limits. Schism and rebellion, the dishonour of religion, and the slavery of nations, have al ways been the fatal consequences of this anti-evangelical principle, and the baneful fruits of its poisonous root. Happily, the morning of light and knowledge which followed the dismal night of the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, enlightened nations on their true rights, and taught them to reduce within its natural limits the re spect due to sacerdotal authority. Governments gra dually desisted from agitating questions foreign to their functions, and began on the other hand to protect them selves from the consequences of bulls and excommuni cations. The heads of die church, on their side, have been receding gradually from their pretensions over civil affairs, so that in the last three 'centuries the suc cessors of St. Peter could scarcely be called a shadow of the Popes in the middle ages. Thus was peace established between the priesthood and secular power : civil go vernmeut appeared with an energy and authority cor responding to the sovereignty and independence of stations; and ecclesiastical power attained that degree of respect and veneration which it might justly . claim during the pontificate of the immortal Ganganelli. This ornament of the tiara following the footsteps of the Apostles and of the DIVINE Founinn of Christianity, full of meekness, moderation, and condescension, was able, by a conduct worthy of die successor of St. Peter, to unite in his person the respect and veneration due to the Catholic Church ; while many of his predecessors who had abandoned this course involved the nations in blood, threw dishonour on religion, and gave occasion to schisms and heresies. The Governments of-the nations, especially of those nations which have the happiness to profess the Roman Catholic religion, are strictly bound to support their libeity and independence, both because all duties ac _ degree of force by their - 'ith reli 'Leo XIL feels in hit acyclic, that the religion and nso- I rality of nations lose much by anarchy and confusion. Then Governments, entirely occupied about ther politi cal existence, are under the necessity of neglecting every thing else, and licentiousness makes frightful progress under the protection of misrule. And who can doubt that such a deplorablettate of things is often brought about by the attacks which civil authority receives from ecclesiastical pretension ? If our people were less docile and enlightened, the encs cite of his Holiness would have caused evils which not only would have shaken the basis of civil , authority, but the pillars of the sanctuary. But, hap pily, the intellectual improvement which is the character of our age has learned to keep everything in its proper; place, and has conciliated the interests of the Church i with those of the State, in such a way that the most perfect harmony reigns between them. INHABITANTS OF THE STATE.—Your Congress has done nothing else but place before you a slight sketch of the doctrine of your SAVIOUR, respecting the in dependence of nations, and the fatal results which spring from the breach of his commandments. It has the strongest motives t-, excite activity in the authorities, both civil and ecclesiastical, and to demand the most prompt co-operation of individuals to maintain the tranquillity of the nation, and the system of the established Government. You have elected your Go vernment—you hold with it a common interest, different from that of those sotto are governed by Monarchies or Aristocracies—you have neither anything to fear from it, nor it from you. The Congress, therefore, is not afraid that the public tranquillity can he disturbed on pretexts of religion ; but if, unfortunately, any way ward incendiary should endeavour to excite disturb , annea l whatever be his class, dignity, or condition, or un der whatever disguise he appears, even though it should be that of supporting religion, the State has at its head a vigorous and energetic Government, which can make itself respected, and bring down the sword of justice on the guilty, severing from the rest of the inhabitants, and even of mankind, the rash man who would dare to cause the ruin of his brethren.

An Austrian vessel has just arrived here, which was one of the transports of the Capitan Paella's fleets. The, Captain has declared, that Ibrahim Pacha was at Tri-1 polizza master of almost the whole of the Morea, except Corinth, Manovania, and Napoli di Romania. I He has appeared several times before, the latter place. He is now employed in having the harvest reaped for his own use by the Greeks who are subject to him, and who are said to amount to 6,000. The army of Colo cotroni, according to the same Captain, is entirely dissolved, and it is not known whither that Chief has retired. The son of Pietro Bey is still Ibrahim's prisoner. While the Austrian vessel was at Napoli di Romania, two English vessels had brought ammunition and money.—On the 4th of August the Capitan Pacha had anchored near Missolonghi to land some troops to reinforce the army of the Pacha of Romelia, who was besieging that place. The Commander of the Austrian squadron was then present; he kept watch in the olifing. l The Capitan Pacha had scarcely dine landing the, troops when the Austrian Commodore made the signal to announce the Greek squadron. The Capitan Pacha got under sail to prepare for the combat, which was obstinate, and in which he lost a brig and a schooner ; the Greeks also suffered. The latter having stood out to sea again, the Capitan Pacha returned to Para& The Riche of Romelia has sprung a mine, which has destroyed part of the fortifications of Missolonghi. The Albanians entered into the breach caused by the mine, but the result of the affair was not yet known. The Greeks of Napoli di Romania say that Commodore Ha milton bas advised them to hoist the British colours, if the town should be obliged to surrender. THE EVENING STAR.

The Holy Father has been prevailed on to stretch out his pastoral staff in support of the Spanish sceptre, and to launch, at this late hour, the once powerful thunders of the Vatican against those who may venture to refuse obedience to this ill-timed inter• ference of the successor of Sr. PSTER, in matters which no way concern him. His circular letter has been answered, not by the Mexican Government, but by a Proclamation of the whole Mexican Congress, addressed to their constituents, utterly denying the right of the Bishop of Rosca to intermeddle in temporal concerns, , their arguments on the Gospel. We fear eventually appear there is more of courage in this measure. The Roman Catholic !Church has long arrogated to itself cue exclusive's - Iglu •o interpret the Gosrel afc. r its own manner. What soever the head of that Church, therefore, may please to call Scripture, must be received implicitly by its followers as such, else interdiction from the rites of religion follows ;—lnti, ceder, no member of the Hierar chy will venture to disobey the inhibition. We cannot but be aware that the Mexicali popula tion are among the most abjectly bigotted and priest ridden of the human race. The actual President, or present head of the Mexican Government, was raised to that high station, not so much for his acknoWledged talents and patriotism as n for his pre eminent su ission to, and observance of the minutest ceremonies bf the Roman Catholic religion ; and unless the Clergy of Mexico are endowed with liberality in a double portion—to such a degree, indeed, as no other classes of their communion in any quarter of the world have as yet manifested, we cannot ob serve this public defiance of the Pars without senti ments of alarm and - apprehension. The present inter ference of the Roman Pontiff, however, in the temporal cones ns of a people so many thousand miles removed from his presence, affords other nations an instructive less7n. It happens that the right of the Roman Church to in terpret Scripture exclusively, is at this moment stoutly maintained, and as resolutely contested in the Sister Kingdom. Six doughty Champions of the Established Church had entered the lists, but the marshal of the tournament threw down his warder, and forbade the onset : in other words, they challenged their opponents to a public argument, but the Roman Catholic Bishop of the district prohibited the Clergy of his persuasion from accepting the challenge. Notwithstanding this, one Professor MiSwasNey, published in the Newspa pers a counter-cballenge, which we see, by the Morning Chronicle of this day, is accepted by a Mr.Wra. URWICK, of Sligo, and so the battle is to be decided by duel.— As a most curious coincidence, and fit comment on this foolish and vain-glorious conceit of two men, who, professing equally to advance the cause of religion, are in their hearts most probably courting the opportunity of displaying their individual wits, in the arena of con troversy, we observe also in the Morning Chronicle of this day, one M'SwxENY (not the same we suppose), and a man of the name of FOIIIIKY, signalising their prowess by a pugilistic rencounter in the Ring as Prize fighters, in which the former was victorious. At Oxford, also, we perceive with sorrow, that the odium Theologicum burns intensely. Mr. MULOCK, a Dissenting Minister, and well-known writer, has, while engaged with bis congregation in Divine Worship, within the walls of a private house, been assaulted by a rabble,and his life endAngered.Whatever maybe the tenets of a preacher, a riotous attack upon any assembly, who are actually engaged in supplicating the Goa of Mercy, the universal Father of All, is most disgraceful to any, the most remote corner of this civilized nation, but above - all detestably disgraceful to Oxford, the seat of learning and religion—and we shall be most ready to exonerate the respectable and venerable heads of that city, in whose hands also is the administration of local justice there, from all reproach in countenancing those outrages, when we hear of their active concurrence in punishing the infamous perpetrators. This forenoon we received Frankfurt and other Papers to the 6th instant. The following are extracts: VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 30.

According to the latest accounts from Cassel, it should seem that the proceedings against the Ex-director of the Police, M. Von Mangen, are not so near their , conclusion as has been affirmed. It is said that among the accusations brought against him only those are supported by sufficient evidence to found a decision in a Court of Justice, which relate to speculations and other misdemeanours in his official character. But whe ther he was guilty with respect to the notorious threat ening letters which were laid to his charge by former reports;has not yet been shewn by anything that has occurred during the investigation, and it is therefore equirable to refrain from any premature judgment. TO , morrow will be the conclusion of the grand autumn re views of the Hessian army, which has been assembled for the purpose, for several weeks, in the environs of Darmstadt. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke at tended them in person, and on several occasions ex-, pressed his satisfaction with the appearance and pre-' cision of the troops. During the late reviews in the vicinity of Coblentz, his Majesty the King of Prussia, named one of the forts of that place after the Grand Duke Constantine.
