R ELIGRIUS DISPUTES in the NETHERLANDS. In consequence of the discussions relative to the Phi• losophicil College for the Clergy, the following two lettets have made their appearance:— LETTER WRITTEN FROM ROME TO THE ARCHBISHOP OR MA LINES. "MY LARD--I find it my duty to give you an ac count of an examination, made by order of the Holy Father, of the two Decrees of the Belgian Government, of June 14th last, and have heard with satisfaction that all the Heads of the Dioceses have united with the Archbishop of Matlines in making an attestation against these Decrees, and that M. Chamberlane has followed the same course with the Clergy of Holland. The So %ereign Pontiff has, on 11:s part, ordered a strong re reu ntaticn to be made to the Government of the King of the Netherlands, in a note put into the hands of M. Reinhold, Envoy to the Coprt of Rome. His Holiness will judge hereafter, according to circumstances, what is proper to do ; in the meantime he is of opinion, that all the Ordinar ics ought to act with one common accord, and remain quite passive should the Belgian Govern. ment proceed to the execution of its orders. His Ho ,iners, whose heart has been filed with the most lively regret by these two Decrees, is convinced that the ge neral protestation ai:l be worthy of the Heads of the Dioceses with whom it emanates, and that it will be modelled on that made by the Ordinaries of Belgium in 1787, against the general seminaries erected by tl.e Emperor Joseph at Louvain, and that they will net have I ist sight of the declaration made by the King of the Netherlands, in July, 1815, in virtue of which he guaranteed the Catholic religion its dignity and security. By Order (S'gned) " R. MARIO." REPLY TO THE GOVERNOR OF ANTWERP BY THE ARCH BISHOP OF MALINES, FROM HIS COUNTRY SEAT OF lIOSOE, NEAR LIEGE, SEPTEMBER 16, 1825. re e dy to the letter which your Excellency addressed to me Lir the 10th of this month, and which I have just-received here, I am obliged to declare that the suppression of my Archiepiscopal College at Ma lii.es, being in direct opposiiion with the interests of our holy religion, with the orders of the Council of Trent, •elative to the forrn•ttion of a virtuous, regular, and orthodox College; wi,ll the rights beh.riging to the episcopacy of divine right; wiih the flee exercise of the I Catholic religion, and the protection guaranteed it by t!ic I . w:damn:al .lani which I have sworn to rain, and also by the second Article of the treaty which is its basis; and, with several declarations and piomisfs made to us by his Majesty himself, I cannot in any case interfere with this suppression. F. M. ARCHBISHOP OF DIALIN•ES." On the former of these letters, the Courier Francais rnokes the following reflect;ons:---1. It presents to us the Catholic Governments as placed under the superior jurisdiction of the Court of Rome. Acts emanating from them, are submitted to the examination of the Pope, who decides whether these .subjects ought to obey them or not. The Holy Father, lisy forbidding the Priests of BAgiom to obey the orders it their Go- vernment, wishes them not to oppose theit' execution. He recommends to prepare a reclamation similar to that of 1787, and then, according to the Etoi:e, they' made an energetic protest agabist the proceedings of instph 11. S :cis a po.ver, vested in a Eneign Prince, organizing resistance in States which acknowledge his spiritual authority, appears incompatible with ti e dig nity of Government, and the public peace. Vi 'e ac knot ledge that the letter from Rome is written with are ser v e Ana moderation not imitateoliby the Welsape the the Coort of Rom, stthinit to the /Juan of ssrpe troub!esome fanatic,:—that, it will 4Qt brave .the Government of the N'etherlaodx-,,thn: it will npt, prt tend to .11:nul its acts, nor compel it. to a humiliation opposed both by honour and dignity. The expeljence of what has recently happened in Mexico will not, we hope, be thrown away. Too rigorous pretensions, and a too absolute unle,i'sava weakoncd the bonds between America and the Holy See; and.will, in the end, de stroy them, if cha'ity and conciliation do n.:t dictate the re:olutions of the Court of Rome. Let it be cau tious riot to 1 nd as ear to the clamours of theJesnits, and their partisans. They do nothing but mischief. Last year they prevented the emancipation of the Catho lics of Ireland, and they are again beginning. their in vectives against the English Government. By their public dectama:ions and their secret manoeuvres, they am endeavouring to widen the breach bet wten the Netherlands and Rome. Their influence brings only trouble, discord, and hostility, and he is to be pitied who does not know how to guard against it." INDIAN PAPERS. Yesterday's resort announced the arrival of the brig Colonel Young, Captain H. M. Walter, from Singapore the 19.!‘ of Mat ch ; and ship Penang Merchant, Captain D. Olive 7, from It tngoon the 5 It of April. Friday night these was a ball and supper at Govern. ment House, in honour of the King's Birth-day. The grand entrance was illuminated, and his. M ijssty's ini tials stood emblazoned in variegated lamps. above the great staircase. About ten o'clock, when the rooms were crowded with company, the Right lion. the Go vernor-General and Lady Amherst entered the ball room, amidst the honours due to their rank. Shortly afterwards dancing commenced, and was, considering the heat of the weather, kept up with the greatest pit it till supper time. The success of our arms in Arracan appears to have been most decisive. It is understood that the enemy's force is completely broken and dispersed. In former times it is well known that the Burmese armies, on such occasions, were mole easily re•collected than those of European Powers; but now, that all confidence is lost in their Government and leaders, we apprehend the discomfituse is total and irreparable. We believe it is the intention that the army in Arracan shall push on, immediately that the means of moving forward with effect can be procured. It is hoped this will be shortly the case; and we thetefore trust that ere long we shall h•tve to announce a forward movement of some conse quence towards the'conclusion of the war. EXTRACT OW A LETTER FROM RANGOON, DATED APRIL S. " Since my last, our launch arrived from Donabew with dispatcheq, and the Penang Merchant sails this afternoon; so I have only time to send you a few lines. Our boat left on the Ist, and they had then orened a fine from the two IS-pounders bind four mortars, and also from two mortars and two 12-pounders on the point of land opposite am ;hew. On the 25th, Sir Ar chibald arrived in the vicinity of Donabew, and sent Nlajnr Jackson, Quarter-Master.General, with three elephant. , , a deochment of Europeans, and a small party of body guard, to open a communication with General Cotton. Jackson effected his object without interruption; but on his return he was suddenly at tacked by a large body of the enemy, and the three Mahouts being and one elephant wounded, they ran off towards the river, and he was obliged to make a retreat : he reached the river, and the boats being in readiness, the men were embarked and the elephants and horses swam across to Cotton's camp; our loss was ten killed and wounded. All the wounded were brought away, except one poor fellow, whom they took pri soner. Jackson and his whole party made a devilish narrow escape. _ _ Next day, the 27th, Cotton _determined to farce a passage to Sir Archibald by water, and accordingly the trcops being embarked on their boats they started, accompanied by the Powerful cutter,towed by the steam boat ; the former having mortars, and the latter rockets on board ; they had to pass within half range of a bat tery of 27 heavy guns, and 21 war boats, each with two fine brass guns, 12 and 6-pounders. At first the war boats sheaved fight, and came out to attack our boats; tut the steam boat casting off, the Powerful dashed in amlng them, followed by the armed boats, and took 13 out of the 21 ; the other eight made their escape, and Gene. al Cotton joined Sir Archibald with the loss of, I believe, three killed and ten wounded; one Officer, Lieutenant Sy mes, Machu Artillery, severely wounded—a three pound ball through his thigh. The same day they attacked a picket of our's, consisting of 120 Europeans, and a party of the body guard, with a couple of guns. They came out with 20 elephants, each mounting a gun, and supported by infantry, and a body of Cassay horse. Our men reserved their fire, till they were vk ithiii 100 yards, and then opened upon them with grape, Shrapnel), rockets, and musketry. Ily all ac-, counts n.,t a man upon the elephants was left alive ; and the most of the elephails,being dreadfully wounded, turned tD the right w11:11 he body guard dashed in And CIE then , up nobly. One Wo:togee was killed, aid his b. sly brought in ; alto the Co:nwandant of then ' MINT OAZCTTE OP APRIL 28, 1825. • Anchorage near Dnnabew, March 428. On the 21th, at noon, General Campbell arrived, aid encamped on the north side of the great stockade, but the wind blowing up the river, prevented our hearing the preconcerted signal ; on the morning of the 25th, he opened a few guns and mortars on the stockade, which announced to us his arrival. OA the 26th, he ordered a party of 20 cavalry, and 150 of the 30th, with three elephants. under J.ickson, to march inland, pass round the stockades, to make a communication with us, which they effected, and arrived opposite our shipping about ten o'clock. Jackson vas accompanied by our friend Montgo merle, Madras Head of the pioneers, and two Officers of the 30th (Kioe's). After settling their arrangement's, k•and breakfasting, they started at one &Jock, not with out same apprehensi ins of being oppesed ; and, certain enough, before they had got a little more than a mile, the distance around being four, and when passing through some extremely large reeds, the enemy opened a fire u, on them, wounded the three Mahouts, and killed ore of the 30th. The leading elephant being wounde.l, turned about, and the others followed. J mks en's chief d.-pendence for a road being on the elephants, he thought it advisable to return; a:id they did so, followed up nearly the whole way by the party of the enemy ; v. e were happy to see them, and to find that so few casualties had taken place, for the musketry lead us to think there would have been more. Toe e'e pliants swam across to our side of the river, and with some management the horses and men were got over before sunset, and all the care and attention paid to m our means permitted; it was determined that evening, that the steam boat Diana, and t',e division the gun busts shoUld push up the river at three in the morning, and join Sir A. Campbell, but this did cot take place until daylight, and they passed the fort under a very heavy cannonade, returning with rockets and guns in fine style. Only one gun boat suffered anything of consequence, and she was obliged, from a shot that struck I.er bow, to be taken to the shore under protection of a battery cf two six-pounders, which had been erected during night opposite the stockade; the stew n-boat pushed en, and ran two golden war boats ashore, which they cap tured with their two guns, but the peo l ie in them made their escape. General Campbell's party sunk two war boats, and Steele writes that fifteen made • their e.cate, leaving only two under the place. Whilst all this was going on, a party of the enemy, mounted on elephants, attacked a picket of the body guard, supposing they were only armed with swords; the cavalry behaved, it aprears, very well, they al lowed them to come on, attacked them, and killed the Chief, and all the riders, but the little animals made off l in the jungle, in the neighbourhood of the stockade ; this took place yesterday morning, and Bundoolah ha, been very quiet ever since. I omitted to inform you, that in passing the fort, Symes, of the Artillery, was badly wounded by a three pound shot in the thigh, and nine men were wounded also on the 29th. During yesterday, our boats captured nice more fine war boats, some mounting two , luau guns.

It was txpected that Gene. •1 Campbell would be before the works of Donibew, on the '2Bth, and yesterday a heavy cannonade was heard in that dit cc tion for upwards of two hours, so we conclude the place to be invested.
