There are nnw in circulation manuscript copies of a Memorial presented to his Majesty by the Bishops of Ghent, NASSaII, Tournay, and the Vicar-General of Liege and Malines. This Memorial is relative to the Mode of lastruction presented for the Universities by the Regulations of 25th of last November -- The Bishops first state, that being bound by their duty to watch over the great interests of religion, they are obliged to prevent the intranction ot .3 sys tem of education which might corrupt youth and violate the dogmas and the discipline of the Catholic Church. It is with this view that they point out se veral points of the regulations which have appeared to them susceptible of priiducing this result. It is laid down as a principle, that it is to the Catholic Church that the world is indebted for the estai,lish rnent eif Universities, which have succeeded to the Episcopal Schools. The principal object of this in stitution was to propagate all the branches of human ! knowledge, and principally religion. Abbe Fleury says, that it WAS " to preserve the holy doctrine that Universities were founded." It is to preserve youth from the contagion of philosopl ical errors that rely. On has presided over all studies under the interven tion of. the Bishops, who alone have received the power of teaching, or causing others to teach, eccle 'Atm ical service. The Catholic Sovereigns who were themselves interested in the maintenance of trligion, themselves invoked the authority of the Sovereign rontiff to direct the high schools by mist regulations. Tiles was clinched the celebrated University of Lor raine, • which has been to religion a nursery of intn whose names will be ever illustrious. Pope Martin V. in his Bull creating it, speaks of the duty wi.ich is imposed on it of encouraging, as much as lios,ible, • sciences ut every kind, by the means of wl ich the science which has for its object the maintencnce of the true faith and of Divine worship, is propagated more and more. The interest of the State and of the Church are now the same, and tegoile the applica tion of the same principles. The Bishops assert that in the Present state of morals religion is now more than ever necessity. The great princip!es having appeared to them to be violated by the regulations ot the 251 h of November, they have laid before his Ma jesty the observations contained in this Memorial, which may contain a doctrine too exclusive, and 11/A.- nifest fears exaggerated by zeal, but %%hid' has the merit of being written with a moderation not always sound in writings of this nature.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, bet the only article decaying notice—and that on account of its impudence—is the substance of a Memorial presented to the King by some of the Catholic Bishops against the Regulations issued by authority of Government for conducting Education in the Universities. These Memorialists have the arrogance still to maintain that the interest of the State and of the Church (meaning themselves) are the same, aod require the application of the same principles I It is not in our own country only that a stagnation of wade is complained of. It appears by an advertise ment in the Leipric Gazdie that a meeting of the Ger man manufacturers was held on the 28th ultimo, at Lsipsic, to consider of the ruinous WIC of their con cerns, and agree upon measures for their protection and salvation. Dutch and Hamburgh Mails arrived this morning., Letters from Lisle, in the Brussels Papers, state, the persons who were . arrested at Dunkirk, Calais, and Boulogne, with a suspicious correspondence, have been conveyed under a good escort to Paris. Tien ancient Offiters of the Old Guard, who were going to travel to those provinces, have also been arrested ; it is supposed that they had suspected pa pers about them. They have beat conducted for the present tip Lisle, till instructions respecting them shall be received from the Minister of Police. The Same accounts say, that the opponents of the Govern menl begin again to be more busy than hitherto; fresh seditious pamphlets continually gat into circu lation in the open country. Again, too, the burning dower of farms, &c. by malicious persons, becomes more frequent. However this be, they are increasing at Lisle the strength of the Gend'armerie, for the Warr preservation of tranquillity : old soldiers, who eta give sufficient proofs of their good conduct, are invited to serve in it. Numbers of French Officers continue to pass through the Netherlands in quest of Forts from which to transport themselves to South America, to join the Patriots. The French Government are, it is said, about to adopt measures to hinder, if possible, dos • military emigration. On the 6th the King of the Netherlands set out on a tour to visit Tournay. Mons, and Charlerop—soon after, which hit Majesty will visit Liege, Numur, sod Maestricht, to inspect the works lately erected at these places. VIENNA, APRIL es. Hi e Majesty fbe Emperor, a few days since, gave the regiment of infantry, which has become vacant • by the death of General Lind.nan, to the Prince of ruis, son of the Archduchess Maria Louisa. The aped stated in many derma° papers, that .s the Ptincess of Wales, while she was in ttiv city, was visited by their Imperial Highnesses the Arch dukes John, Antony, Rainer, and Charles, is wholly unfounded. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 2S. It having been proposed to intro.luce the gas lights here, it has been calefilated that the oil lamps used here, (reckoning one for each of the 3633 houses in Stockholm,) cott annually 26,869 Bank dollars, that the first establi.lnnent of the gas apparatus would cost 16,666 Bank dollars, and that the keeping up of the apparatus, 240 tons of coals, and attendance, annually, 6033 Bank dollars. The coals are cheap, and to be procured from the mines of Hoeganaes, in Schoenen, which extend under• the Sound. Last year there were dug up there 153,056 tons, of which about half were exported, and a great part used in the foundries and stone manufactories. FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers to the 10th instant, have arrived since our last. The health of the KING IS so much improved, that he continues to make daily excursions intu the environs of P Iris. M. 111.ACAS is already on his way back to Rome, yr here it is probable his presence may be soon very necessary. From letters which have been received Iron► Italy since his departure, the tumour which was afloat, but rather pertinaciously contradicted by some journals, of the dangerous state of the Pcpe's health, is fully confirmed. The succession •iii be one more enviable for dignity than emolument. — The revenues of the Hi;ly See are in a most ember tasted state. before the Revolution, they amouated to eight or nine millienss of crowns—but at present they amount only to unr-third of that sum, and a debt a l'2o millions of crowns remains still to be discharged. Meanwhile the most rigid economy is said to be observed, at the Papal Court, and among other sources to which it locks forward for a renova tion of its prosperity, we observe+, not without some surpriz!, in au article fro►n Rome, the following very probes le anticipation : We are ;assured that the PRINCE RIIGENT (01 ENGLAND) and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA have made known to his Holiness their desire of concurring with him in extending ilse emlaire of cur holy religion. It is believed that his Holiness, in virtue of an Article in the l'reaty of Holy Alliance, will be restored to the possession of various dotations which belonged to the Holy See in different countries. It is certain,. that under Christian Princes, the work of religion cannot be abandoned to chance" I The Diet of Frankfort has resumed its sittings.-- On: of the Russian Legation, M. Tonmassov, has just been obliged, by an unfortunate adventure, to deprive it of his presence. Being at the Theatre, he was speaking aloud to M. de STRAIILSNIINIM, the Minister fur Hanover, when the Officer of the Guards on duty desired him to be silent. M. TOUNASSOU took offence, challenged the Officer, and shot him through the heart. He immediately set out fur Darmstsdt. The political differences in Wirtemberg have not, we regret to find, subsided into that harmony which might have been expected from the submission of the majority of the States to the will tof the King. Oa the meeting of the States. on the SOth ultimo, a tu multuous assemblage surrounded the Hall of As sembly, and even forced their way into the place of sitting. Several Members were most grossly abused, and the greatest confusion ensued. Neither the mo tives of this outrage nor the parties in it are men• tioned ; but, in all probability, it has been excited by the factious minority to whom the ling has been lately recommending the decency of retirement. His Majesty has addressed a Rescript to the States on the subject, enforcing upon them the necessity of, guarding against any such occurrences in future, compromising as they must, every thing Rice liberty in the National representation. A report is in circulation on the Continent. that the United States of America Are endeavouring to obtain an establishment in the Biltic. A new Treaty of Commerce between them and Sweden has just been made public, which it is said has existed for some time. French 5 per Cent's, Bth May, 67 fr. 15 c. The Duke of WELLINGTON had a long audience of the PRINCE REGENT on Saturday morning, at Carlton House. His Grace took tint and spent the evening on Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. PATTIRMI, Colonel HAIIVEY and his Bride, and a select party, at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square. Soon after twelve o'clock, his Grace, accompanied by Colonel and Mrs. Haulm, set off for Dover. His Grace, and suite, embarked yesterday on board the Lord Duncan packet, Captain HAMILTON, for Catiis, on their route for Cambray. Saturday morning the Princess ELIZABETH went to vomit the Duchess ut GLOUCEBTEN ; after which the Princess went is mg. in Lady Cm:ilium:a carriage to the Bazaar in Soho-square, where her Royal Highness way a liberal purchaser. Earl Tazaor is certainly destined to succeed Lord WHI'IWOBTki in the Government of Ireland. His Lordship has.hegun to make arrangements prepara tory to his departure, which is expected to take place early in October. He will be accompanied by his amiable Countesrand children. Saturday, Mr. Girronn appeared in the Court of Chancery, and was desired by the Lotus CHANCELLOR 10 take his sot within the Bar, upon his appointment to the otlice ot King's Counsel and Solicitor General. The Learned Gentleman seined himself between the two senior Counsel, and received the compliments of, the B.* He went through a 4milar ceremony in the other Coutts at Westminster Hail. AMERICAN PAPERS. Boston Pipers to the 12th of Aptil have reached us. The Americans seem much dissatisfied with the St. Domingo Chief, PETION. One of his soldiers, is attempting to steal from an American vessel, had been shot by one of the sailors. The sailor fell into PrrioN's handF, and was ordered to be shot, as the Americans say, without trial. Letters received on the Slst of March, from New Orleans, announce the failure of General MINA'S ex pedition. It is said he has put into the Mississippi.

As the report of an intended Brent on the ith of June is again revived and very generally credited even in the higher military circles, we feel it our duty to our numerous Military Readers, in many of whom it may raise fruitless expectations, to state from UD. questionable authority, that no such measure is in contemplation, and that there will not be a Brevet this year. The Isabella transport, A. HAKES master, arrived on Sundly seannsght from G braltar. She brought home 'a part of the67th Regiment ; was released front quarantine on Wednesday, and ordered to proceed to Chatham,. where the troops are to be landed.. The English Officers of the garrison of Cambray, have undertaken to provide 1201bs. of bread daily for kratuitous delivery, among the poor of that city. The Court of Enquiry, composed of General Of ficers, which for some weeks past had been engaged in the.investigation of the affair between Lieutenant- Colonel GRANT and Mr. Deputy Commissary-Gene. ral O'MEARA, having closed proceedings, and his Royal Highness the COAIMANDER•IN.CITIEF having taken the report into consideration, has issued his commands for the assembling of a General Court Martial forthwith, for the trial of the former Officer. —The Colin will assemble in Londcn previous to the 24th instant. BONAPARTE becomes less and less accessib!c to strangers. He is grown very fat and ill tempered. The following iv an extract from a letter dated Buenos Ayres, the sth of February " General ST. Mmt rut left Mendoza, with his army, about t he SOth ult. for the invasion of Chili. The enemy's army of Peru has advanced to the Andes, its head-quarters are at 14,jui. The Congress of Tucuman closed its Sessions at that place on the 15th ult. and, it is expected, will open them here iu the cotirst of the present month." It appears frosn the Calcutta Papers, that on the 4th December, Mr. Gomm Formes and Colonel LOVEDAY delivered over the French settlement of Chandernagore to the Commissioners appointed to receive it by Louts XVIII. A Proclamation was issued, and Te Ileum performed on hoisting the French flag, and the English and French functionaries par osok of an entertainment, at which the healtlis of tl e Kings of France and Eagland, and of the Governor. General of ladia, were drank with every demonstra tion of respect. On the sth November the Frances Charlotte, with a detachment of the 78th regiment . on board, struck on a reef off the desert island of Pre paris, which lies about halt-way between Cage Ni grais, on the coast of Pogue, and the Andamans. On the 10th Captain WICATHERALL, Of the Prince Blu cher, on nearing the island, fell in with some boats belonging to the Frances Charlotte, and took on, board the crews, who had been several days without' lood. Learning that the rest of the seamen and troops, kith a number of women and children, had got on shore od the island, he next day sent his boats to fetch the wnmen and children, and as many men as possible. On the 12th they returned with Major MACAtERSON and his Lady, Mrs. MACQUEEN, the wits of Captain MACQUEEN, Dr. and Mrs. Bitowx, Lieu tenants M•Ket.zia and M'Crunussztr, with a number of lascars and soldiers' wives and children. A storrn coming on, frustrated an attempt to get off the re mainder next day. Captain WEATIIERALL then trade sail for Calcutta, where he arrived on the 26rli. Next day the Nautilus cruizer was sent off with a supply of provisions for the sufferers on the island, which it was supposed she would reach in six days: and to guard against any unfavourable occurrence, another vessel was ordered to proceed for the same destination from Chittagong. There were left on ahe island six Off-, cers, 90 privates, and 40 lascars. There are several tine springs in the idand, and the coast furnishes shell fish in ittstradance;' there is also plenty of wood. Hopes were, of course, entertained, that they would be able to bold out until the arrival of rolief. About .10 soldier, and Wears . were lost in quitting the wreck, ' iis consequence of loading themselves too lit:a%ily with Jamey and otbetr Articles. NAVAL INTSLLIGIIVCE.
