N _ • History of the Commonwealth of Engl2ad. front the Co.-;mencement to the Restoration of Mole.; 11. By GoDul.v. Vol. 1. Svc). pp. 4 14:6. From the first announcement of the work Of wl.ich one volume is now laid before the Public, we expected, from the acknowledged powers, vigorous intellect, and matured judgment of the author, a lucid and im pal tial history of a-most imp:Aunt retiod, to which, nothing like justice had hitherto been done by any titer. In fact, as nr. Godwin observes, in his preface, the men who figured during the interregnum were, immediately after the restoration, spoken of with horror, and their Memoirs were composed alter the manner of the Newgate Calendar; and what MRS begun lion): party rage has been continued from indolence." The aim of the author-has - been " to restore the just tone of historical relation on the subject, to attend to the neg lected, to remember the forgotten, and to distribute an impartial award to all that was planned and achieved durtur- this eventful period ;"—and it is but justice to say, that ' he has impartially and successfully accom plished his object. He does not attempt to di,guise' the reference which he thinks due to a Reptibbearil form of Government in the abstract ; but we do not think that he has suffered this attachment to bias his details of facts. As the religious fends of the period have never hi therto been viewed with anything like an impartial eye, we shall lay before our Readers some extracts from the 3d and from the 13th chapters, which treat more par ticularly of this subject. " One of the qi.estions which particularly occupied the mind of the leaders in the Long Parliament, was that of our church-establishment ; and upon this subject they were somewhat less temporisirg and uncertain than upon many others. Religion with them was a serious consideration, a topic .which they were dislw;ited to treat with good faith and in earnest. They were sinceme patriots to the best of their judgment, anxious to promote the substantial welfare of their fellow-crea tures. They knew that there could be no real liberty, and no good political government, without morality; and they believed that the morality of the various mem bers of the community intimately depended upon their religious creed, and upon the character and conduct of the Ministers of the national religion. " The Reformation in England dates is commence ment from the year 1532. It was conducted in all its early operations by dna capricious and arbitrary mo narch, Henry the Eighth ; and, in no long time after his death, the old religicin was called back again by Iris daughter, Queen Mary Tudor. Various causes contri buted to render the progress of the Reformation in this country particularly fluctuating and uncertain; and the early reformers here were greatly divided among themselves. " On the Continent the Reformation strewed itself in two forms. In Sweden, in Denmark, and in some parts of Germany, where the authority of the ince was most considerable, its principles Mete mitigated, and the policy of its conductors appears to have been, to ba tiish the more glaring corruptions of tits choler cf Rome, but to preserve the hiercrchy and the forms of religious worship as nearly as might be are same. This mode of proceeding seemed best to accord with mo mit chical government. The church served to give lustre, tifilhe throne ; and its methodical forms and solemnities rend !red it a more apt and pliant machine in the hands of the civil power. In Holland, in Switverland, and in Geneva, the process had been somewhat different. The reformers there, not being obliged to consult the inch nations of a potentate reigning among them, were less di3posed to ivnitate the institutions of the church of Rome, and thought it more reasonable to consult the primitive pattern ant the simplicity of the Gospel. Tire can equence was the establishment of a parity among their clergy, no one or more of the members of the hie rarchy assuming a dominion over the rest, or living in splend .ur and magnificence, while the major uy of their brethren could command little more than the bare means ofsub,istence. The reformers in France, not having the benefit or disadvantage of an alliance with the State, proceeded on the same principles. And this mdde of church-government - and religious worship was also established in Scotland _ _ _ " The most zealous of the fix st reformers in England probably entertained no great degree of good will to the institution of prelacy. There existed in the time of Ed %yard the Sixth a disposition to catty the spirit of the Reformation into a considerably greater effect thus ha.! been permitt,d under Henry the Eighth. But what enmpleted the establishment of an anti-prelatical party in England, was the persecution carried on by Queen Marv, which drove the ablest and the most fervent of the.Proteaants to take refuge in foreign countries,where of necessity they were led -) tif study the for ms to which that spirit had given With in those countries. The de nomination by which this party now became known was that of Puritans, and it needed all the energy of Eliza beth's government, who was herself an earnest supporter of ecclesiastical pomp, to keep tl.is set of men within the bounds which her policy ptc•cribed. The contest which had subsisted under Elizabeth, became mote active and critical afte.• the accession of the Stuarts and was rendered infinitely mot e serious by the cruel and '.tibitrary proceedings of Laud. gis punishments were of the most odious kind—whippinr, !"), setting on the pillory, cutting off the ears, slitting the Lose, and imprisonment for life ; and one peculiarity of his system was, that it seemed to ain't at the levelling all distinctions of rank. An eminent barrister, an eminent yhyician, a clergyman who had been clerk of the closet to two successive Princes of Wales, a professor ( f mot al philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, and the mas ter of Westminster school, we; e among his victims." fluting the military contests ill 16.1-3 and 16.11, many interesting ralticular% occurred in the Assembly of Di vines and the Parliament. !‘ A majority of the rdiect ing and religious part of the nation had been thoroughly disgusted with the episcopal government of the church, as administered by Laud and his compeers, wen of haughty and insolent temper, wedded to pouip and splendour, detesting the Puritan, looking with compa rative favour upon the principles and system of the church of notne, servile to the Court, advocates on all occasions of passive obedience in matters of civil policy, thoroughly imbued with an intolerant spirit, and ever ready, when the.question was of suppres:ing obnoxiou, tenets, to-employ the most odious severities, in the shape of heavy fines, tedious and strait imp] isonment, the scourge, the knife, and the pillory. It seems certainoabat. evcr some histosiaus algy /1411.1 allcge. l W tilt; COillr.try, that a great majority of the nation Was at the meeting of the Long Parliament hostile to the institution of B shops. There were no doubt *many.pious and excel-' lent men, among those who filled conspicuous stations , in the hierarchy. There was a consid.srable portion of the NObiiity,Gentry, and others, wholooked with partial regard upon the ecel,,siastical system of their fathers. But that is mere human nature; and in cases of this sort it can scarcely be otherwise. Tire active and ope rant part of the community, the vigour and energy of the living in ineiple in the body politic, was almost ex clusively on the other side. 6. But the mind of man had at this time only arrived at a ceitain stage of its graduated progress. The Church of England was a vast and complicated body, all of whose, officers and ministers were arranged in an as cending scale, and closely knit and compacted one with the other. The discontent party disapproved of the number of the steps, and the extensive emoluments and power of its superior members. But for the most part they only conceived the plan of a system of greater plainness a:.d simplicity. They proposed to substitute for the Episcopal Church now in being, a Presbyterian Church. The Episcopal Church had a hatred of sects; the Pr esbyterians did not come behind her in that par ticular. The Episcopal Church was intolerant ; so were the Presbyterians. Both of them regarded with horror the idea of a free press, and that every man should be permitted to publish and support by his writings what ever positions his caprice or his conviction might dictate to him s' Still, however, among the great geniuses and pro found politicians of this memorable period, there were a few, who could look with a ,toady eye into the future, could measure the limbs and muscles of the human mind, and could see chat man in a state of liberty could do and sustain, and what were likely to be the results of all he cpuld suffer and all he could effect. They viewed controversy and ,intellectual conteation as the -toad to substantial peace and genuine vigour. Trey saw that liberty of disquisition %VA., the wholesome ele ment in which intellect refines, that to . weigh and discein truth from falsehood the scales which are employed in the trial must be freely poised, and.tha. ,were can be no I real copscience and no pure religion, where religion and conscience are not permitted to act without restraint. '6 But what is scarcely less worthy of notice, there was at this time a sect of Christians, penetrated ssith the fervours of the most earnest zeal, the Independents, who maintained nearly the same tenets on this subject with the party last mentioned. Theyawere led to the conclusions they adopted, by somewhat of a Jac:rent process. Like the Presbyterians, they cordially disap proVed of the pomp and hierarchy of the Church of England. But they went further. They equally dis appeared of the Synods, provincial and general, the classes and incorporations of pi e,bytery,a system scarcely less complicated, though irfinitely lets dazzling, than. that of diocesan episcopacy. They held, that a church was a body of Christians assembled in one place appro priated for their worship, and that every such body was complete in itself, that they had a right to draw up the rules by which they thought proper to be regulated, and that no man not a member of their assembly, and no' body of men, was entitled to interfere with their pro ceedings. Demanding toleration on these grounds, they felt that they were equally bound to concede and as sert it for others ; and they preferred to see a number of churches with different sentiments and institutes within the same political community, to the idea of remedy ing the evil, and exterminating error, by means of ex clusive-regulations and the menaces and severities of punishment."

Saturday morning, as the workmen of Colonel Strutt. M.P. of Tirling-place, Essex, w , sre making a carriage drive in that Gentleman's park, a little beneath the sur face of the earth they discovered an earthen vessel with silver coins. There were between 200 and 300, of the times of Constantine, Valens, Valentinian, il atian, Theodosius, and Arcadius, who succeeded his father, Theodosius, and died about 408. They are in an ex cellent state• of preservation, and probably have been concealed between 1,400 and 1,503 years. These coins are now in the care of Mr. Ellis, the Colonel's steward. John Marum, of Galmoy, having rendered himself obnoxious to the Whiteboys, was murdered by a set of them, while riding home in company with his son on Tuesday se'nnight. The deceased received five des perate bayonet wounds in the region of the heart, one cat at the back of the neck, and his skull was literally broken to pieces. Two or chi ee grains of shot from a blunderbuss Here also lodged in his.shoulder.

Monday morning Jame.; (lover, "din was - convicted on Friday of the wilful murder of Elizabeth Marsh, an old Lady residing at Shotslden, near Deal, was executed at Penenden Heath. The unhappy man, from the time his being condemned, conducted himself in a man ner becoming his awful situation. He paid much at tentn 'to the pious admonitions of the Rev. M. Winter, who ealou,ly strove to prepare the mind of the culprit for the change that awaited him. He rose early on Monday morning, and after he had breakfasted beulade a full confession of his crime, which we have subjoined. At ten he received the Sacrament in a very -devout manner, itmil soon afterwards, evefything being in. readiness for his departure. he ascended the wagon that was to convey him to the Heath, and the melan choly pt °cession then. left the jail, attended by the Under Sherid, William Scudarrete, Esq. the Governor of the Prison, and the usual attendant!. On arriving at the place :if execution he spent some time in devotion with tie worthy Chaplain, after which 1:e ascended the t,cafrold with a firm step. When the rope was adjusted he addressed the spectators, beseeching them to take warning by his fate. He acknowledged the justness of i is sentence, and confessed having perpetrated the mot , ' der him-elf, remarking that he saw the blood flits , from the old Lady. lle expressed that he knew not whether lie should go to heaven or bell, but he hoped to heaven, and he trusted that those around him would pray that he might be received there. At the conclusion of hill !tclilltts the cap svas drawn over his face, and the drop) Malting almost instantly, he was laUnched into eternity., His suffer appeared to be very brief.- The body, aftcr, hanging the usual time, was agn.eably to the sentence delivered over to Mr. Whatman, the surgeon c t the pr isn't, for dissection. He was tolerably_good and only 20 years of age. He had 'been a most abau doned character, and had frequently suffered imprison ment fos his offences. SHE CONFESSION OF JANES CLOVER ON THE MOANING OF lIIS EXECUTION. " The robb:Ty of ElizaLeth Marsh's house was first proposed by Stephen S:bt on the Thursday previous to its co:institute:a.— Joseph Shelvy and' myself left Stephen Sheivy's house between eleven and twsive o'clock. I deter mined to murder the old wo man, but did not mention my intentimu to Joseph Shelvy ; my sole and only motive for so doing was, the expectation that a good deal of property in Bank-notes right be found in her possession, anti that, by some marks upon them, we might, in the passing of them, he detected. This induced nib to determine upon mutdci ing her. I thought if the murder was done there could he no one to swear to any property after I was the death of her. After we got into, the house, Shelvy walked up close behind use with a candle in his hand; as soon as I entered the room I went to the foot of the bed, the old woman sitting upright making a noise, and singing out very laud to know what we Were about. I never spoke to her; I had the road-hat in my land; I imMediately struck her a violent blow with it on the left temple ; she did not fall; I then struck her a se cond blow with all my force, aiming to hit her on the same place; she dropped, and I perceived the blood running from her mouth and nose. Shelvy was at the top of the staircase when these blows were struck, and must have seen them. • Both of us went to search a chest., when hearing a snuming as of blood, I conceived that the old - woman was dying in misery ; I took up the road-bat, making aim at the same place where,' struck her before, and gave her a violent blow with both hands. 'Die only conversation that passed between me and Shelvy was, that we hoped the old girl was better oft. On the •!orday evening I told Stephen Shelvy everything that had been done in the concern ; he said he should like to have the coals out of the house ; I proposed going for them that came night, but he thought it was too Inc. "JAMES CLOVE U. " Maulstone Jail, '.7‘21 March, I ;‘`.l." IFYLI. OF CAMBACERES. Cambaceres, the Ex Arch-Ctancellor of the Empire, whose death took place within the last month, died pos sessed of the immense fortune (for France) of 400,000 francs a-year, and a million of francs in money, which he had laid by since his return to France. I have got from a person who read his will, an account of which I send you; some of the clauses are singular enough. He has left the great bulk of his property to his two nephews (sons of his brother) ; to the eldest two-thirds, 'and to the younger the remaining third. He has also left to the eldest his hotel in Piti is, with all the furni ture, plate, jewels, &c. This fortunate nephew is young man about twenty-five years of age; he is mar ried to the daughter of M. Thibon, Governor of the Bank of France. He now steps into posses)ion of 250,000 francs a-year, a magnificent hotel and all its effects, valued at 800,000 francs.—The younger nephew is twenty-one years of age, and has for his share 150,000 francs a-year. The legacies in the will are as follow :—To his brother 12,000 francs a yer, and forty canal debentures; m M. Lavolie, his Secretary, who had followed him into exile, and has been constantly attached to his person, 2,500 francs a-year and some canal debentures; to the two sons of M. Lavolie, 1,500 francs a-year each ; to Madame Montholon, 600 francs a year (this scanty legacy is most inexplicable); to each parish in Paris 250 f. a year; and to the Succursals (cha pels of ease) 150 f. a year; to the Cathedral of Montpel lier, his native city, 3,000 francs a year.; to the young Carnon Nisasi his cousin, the sum of 1,000 francs, and .500 francs a year ; to his Intendant, the sum of 10,000 francs, and 1,000 francs a year; to his first valet de chambre, the sum of 1,000 francs, and 1,000 francs a year ; to Madame Delacie.his niece, the sum of 150,000 francs ; he had given her already a like sum on her marriage; and lastly,-to Sequier, First President of the Cour Royal!, 1,000 francs a year (this last bequest is also most singular and inexplicablea) He has ap pointed M. Thibim his executcn-, and has left him a diamond worth 6,J00 francs. It is not a little surprising that Cambaceres has not left the slightest mark of his remembrance to any of those persons through whose influence he had been alloyed to return to Fiance, and some of whom had rendered him services since that return. With the exception of the diamond above men tioned, he has made no specific donations of his jewels, for of any of the numerous splendid snuff-boxes and watches received by him from the EuropeanPotentates— they all fall to the share of his eldest nephew. Ile had no pictures, except a superb portrait of Napoleon, given to him by the Emperor. This was the only portrait of Napoleon that had I•een copied at the Gobolins. After Cambaceres' death it was found neglected in the corner of a lumber room. For some time back Cambaceres was employed in writing his memoirs, and in which he had made conOder:ible progress, there being six volumes all ready, containing notices upon the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies, the Convention, the Tzibunut, and the commencement of the Empire under Napoleon. This work (unfortunately unfinished) is in the haads of N. Lavolie, his Sac' etary, and will, it is hoped, be shortly given to the world. From the opportunities of knowing the truth, and the well-known spit it of order and exacti tude of the Ex Arch.Chaticellor, much n • and cur ',OP; light is expected to be tarown by these memoirs upon those stirring and eventful periods.
