BIBLE ASSOCIATION. Yesterday evening the General_ Anniversary Meet. ing of the St. CI meat's Danes, St. Mary.le-Strand, and the Savny, Bible Association, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The Rev. Mr. W. GURNEY, Rector of St. Cement's, was in the Chair, and stated the object of the Meeting, %hid', he briefly laid, had connected with it the welfare of the soul as well as the bodies of mcn ; and he had pleasure in addressing them, for he considered they were as a little family on tAr di, met together to tee what good could be done, through the Bible Association, for the souls of their fellow-creatures ; and he.was sum the minds of his audience would be properly impressed, while hr viewed in so Inge An assembly, not only external mourning (for he was sure that was not all), b. it in every countenance—in„all companies—, was to be traced that sympathetic feeling which recent circumstances wore so calculated to inspire.— But, amidst . all our afflictions, under every sorrow, , there was in the Bible all that was calculated to do us good in time, and make us happy in an eternal world.—The Report was then read by Mi. Yoacir, the Secretary, and seconded by the Rev. Dr. WIN. which stated that £I4B. si. aid. had been re aired, and applied to the objects of the Association. —The Rev. Dr. COLLYRR proposed a vote of Thanks to the Rev. Wu. Gutmay, M.A. President, which was carried unanimously.—The Hon. Lady Wasn't, Patroness, and Mrs. GURNEY, President of t'%e L. 4. dies' Association, the Rev. Wm. MORGAN, the Rev. Dr. STAINKOPIPY, and the Rev. Mr. Isms, who is just returned from witnessing the effects ut the Bible Associations in Russia, spoke on the occasion—at the close of which a collection was made. VAKEZ&BLA. .

All the Cabinet Ministers, except Earl MULORAVE, were present. Of the sub ject of these successive deliberations nothing certain has yet disinspired ; but it may be presumed that they have at length come to a determination 'spook, since summonses were issued for the PIUNCS REORNT hold .ing a Court yesterday, at five o'clock, at the Pavi• Jim, at Brighton, which most of the Cabinet Minis ters left town for the purpose of attending. The Coacerdat between France and the Pope, to which we had yesterday only time to advert very briefly, is much more concise and distinct in Its dis positions, than might have been expected of a treaty which bas been the result of so many long and varied aegociations. On the 15th of J 017,1801. a Convex• don was decreed between the French Government and the Holy See. It was published as a law of the State. On the Bth of April, 1802, two series of dis positions, intitled Organic Artie/et, were promulgated to be observed as laws of the State. Oa the 24th of May following. the Pot; in an Address pronounced in Secret Coosittory, declared, that having perceived• that with the Coneutdat ware published soma At ticles not recogiked by him. he should be compelled to demand of the Preach Goverotnent some suitable and necessary changes. Discussions were then opened between the two rowers, and prolonged without coming to any result. The misunderstand. togs between the Pu ra and the French Government multiplied we shall not here retrace their progress. In the year 1808, the Pore refused to the Bishops of France the extraordinary power which be had previously acknowledged. difficulties were raised re specting the form of Canonical Institutioas, and the events of 1809 produced an open rupture. On the 13th of February, ISIS, a pretended Coe cordat, signed at Fontainbleau, was inserted in the Beath. der Lei:, and published as a law of the State, in an unusual manner. The Pope protested against this puhlication. and considered himself as freed from all the engagements that be bad contracted with the Government then *listing!. Such was the state of things whets the King ream:ended the thtone of his ancestors. AU the relations between France and the Head of the Church were suspended. The succes sion of Bishops was interrupted—the Churches were without Pastors—the Priesthood was dividectt—the People were without the benefits of religi•us instruc tions. The evils that *Sicced the Church threatened the State. To prevent one, and terminate the other, the King commenced negociations with Rome; and the Convention concluded on the I lth'of June last be. tweet the Holy &a and the King has been the result. —The Canonical Institution of the Bishops was the essential point of conference with the Holy See, for there was in France a great number of Bishopricbs vacant and Cherches suffering. The right of inter fering in the nomination of Bishops was one which the &WO conceived be possessed in quality of Su preme Head, in order to assure himself that functions so important .as those attached to a Bishop should not be delivered over to foreigners and enemies to the Constitution. On the other side, the Pore, by general.discipline of the Catholic Church, pos. beyond dispute the right of iovesting the Bishops when nominated ; but these two rights being exercised in concert, it became necessary that the two Posen should agree to use their mitual . prero. goitres with advantage. The maw accordingly, in which the present Con. cordathas settled the exercise of sheer prerogatives, will be sees from the following abstract of the Pr y er de Lei which has been submitted to the Chamber fur the purpose of carrying the Concordat into effect : " Alt • 1, Coikeensbly to dos Canonhe speed epee between Francis 1. too X. tke Kier also., by *tee 01 the Mersin rights of threrowe, Swims to the Archbi!hoptke sod Mabry ries thrusbole the ittegrium. TM Mishaps sad Archbishop 'shall obtain from the Pope canonical institution :evading Ifs the accaemened forms. " 2. The Concordat of 15th July, 11101, reuses to have effect, with the exception of Art. as, which continues in force. " S. Seven new Archiepiscopal Sees, mid thirty-nine new Bishoprics, are to be established. " Two of the present Episcopal Sees to become Arebbishnprics. " 4. The endowments of the Archbishops and Bishops to be taken from the funds placed at the disposal of the King, by Art 143 of the Law of :be 25th March last. " S.

" 6. Acts concerning the universal church, or general interests of the state or church of France, their laws, administration, or doctrine, and which might render necessary, or induce• any tun difications in the existirg legislation, not to be received, primed, published, or carried into effect in France, until after having bren duly verified by the two Chambers, on the proposition of the King, " 7. Such acts to be Inserted in the Bulletin of Lasts, with the Law or Ordonnance authorizing their publication. " d Cases of abuse to be carried direct before the Royal Courts. 46 P. Regulates proceedings against persons in Holy Orders. " in. •1 he Bulls published at Rome the 19th and 27th July, respecting the Concordat, maybe published without approbation. " li. Such publication not to be to the prejudice of the dis positions of the present law, or the rights and liberties of the Gailican Church." A Lisbon Mail has arrived to-day, but brings no intelligence of the least importance. Advises have been received in town that a Russian force has taken possession of one of the Sandwich Islands. The particulars we have not yet learnt.— WM England tacitly allow Russia to make a pro. petty of all or any of those Islands discovered by the enterprise of our gallant countryman, Captain COOK We this day publish further particulars relatirg to the Independent cause in Venezuela, from which it will appear that General BOLIVAR, after regulating all the affairs of the two Guayanss, was on the eve of proceeding on to the Atlantic coast with a consi4e cable army,' in order to form a junction with the other Chiefs acting in a demi-circle round Caraccas. From Gibraltar we have received letters of the . 10th instant, which state, that the Algerine Plague squadron had made its appearance in the Bay, but was not permitted to anchor within reach of the guns of the fortress, and that a guard ship had been dispatched, to keep is at a proper distance. The rock continues very healthy—abundant showers of rain having fallen rather earlier than usual, and been succeeded by a course of very fine weather.— All apprehensions of fever had subsided ; the en campments had been broken up, and the troops had returned in high spirits into their respective barracks. Part of the 95th Regiment arrived from Malta, in the Isabella transport, on the 4th inst. but, being put under•quarantine, had not landed at the date of our letteu. BATI4 NOVEMBER 27. ......--1.... TMs tnoroing. at the early flour of nine o'clock, she Quota, the Princess ELmtaern, and the Doke of CLAstaisue, left the 9umta's boon, in one of her Majesty's private carriages, and proceeded to the Great Pomp Room. They were attended by the Countesses of Itcuurren and MaLviLut, General Sir H. CAMPBELL, Colonels TAYLOR and Dzsoonouun. Her MAJESTY alighted at the Colonade, and walk ed through the Abbey Church Yard to the Room, where she was received by Dra.Graaas, her Majesty's resident Physician, Mr. TUDOR, Surgeon, and Cap tain Wyse and Captain MARSHALL, the Masters of the Ceremonies. The latter Cantleman having been recently elected M. C. of the Kingston Rooms, had the honour of being introduced to her Moiesrv, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Otantsce, where he received her MAJESTY% congratulations upon that account. Her Royal Highness the Princess ELIZA. sorts also congratulated Mr. MARSHALL upon his 'access, io.tbe most affable manner. Captain Wilco had ken introduced to her MAJtIfrY, by his Royal Highness the Doke of CLARENCE, during the former part of her visit. Her Mann,' recommenced drinking the water, sod the Duke of CLARENCE also took a glass ; but the Princess Euviairrat declined taking any at present. The Royal Party promenaded the Room some time, and her MAJESTY was pleased to order a donation of ten pounds to the music of the Pump Room, in ad dition to fifty pounds, presented to the renter of it. on her former visit; and her MAJESTY and the Princess &mantra sent, besides, to the Kingston Rooms, sub scriptions of fifty pounds and ten pounds. At one o'clock her MAJILSTY, the Princess ELIZA BETH, and the Duke of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Countess of hcaterria. took an airing in a ba roughe and four. along the Bristol road. The Plum' REGENT tank his usual ride•yesterday at Brighton, accompanied by bib Royal'Brother the Duke of Yoatt, and the Rev. Dr. 13Lownimu. It is teported that a Monument is to be erected in Westminster. Abbey to the memory of the Princess CHARLOTTE. It will be seen by the Advertisement, that the Common Council of London, however deeply sym pathizing in the recent affliction, have, with great propriety, determined to abstain from presenting an Address to the Pulses Rnoser on the death of his daughter. As such an Andress must, ennititation. ally, have been received on the Throne. and'been re plied to from thence, the emotions which .it would haws excited would have been too painful.. other Addresses, with the exception of those fromtlie Uni versities, as they produce no personal interview, stand on different grounds : they will nut be more affecting to the Royal feelings than this very Advertisement of the Common Council, in which the exercise of the privilege of addressing is delicately declined. The Universities, we have no doubt, will pursue the course adapted by the Common Council. Duvay-40►etn TH turas. —The Opera of the Dumna was performed last night.
