It might sem as if the latter thought the harvest *early at its close, and were deskross, sc. cordistg to the ancient mission, to " make hay while I the son shines." Sock glaring sets of bribery and corruption haws not been witnessed since the laments election for Iliodon sod Shaftrabery, where Punch played so coospicsoas a part, soder the auspices of the English Nabobs frees the East Indies. The Sidvm, Ibe Seats's. the MACIIIICETII4, and the Ituwautos, have all been outdone of late, if sot in the ingeseity of their proceedings. at least in the Itsrefacedness of them. The lot has fallen on Sir Manassas MASSIU Loins, sod, no doubt, the preset-affirm of the Beretta will bring to light some new traits of conferring favours, to be gratefelly remembered, similar to those which were practised by another Bert., Sir R. hi ACILISTII, SOON years ago. Can we wonder that the Nation is so reedy to go to war upon every trilling wands', and that the Mini. stet is able to tat the People ad libitum, whoa be has such inurement' to play with ! ! Of the Petition for licheder, *Nth was presented by she lloseerable end iodefstgahle Member for Shrewsbury to the Reese of Commons last night, with so much proper gravity sod feeliug, we scarcely know bow to speak with terms sufficiently qualified to avoid pulling the emanate of a body's powerful us corrupt upon es. We knew the weight of it, already basing bad to hear it longe► then it has beets thought secessery loutish@ a [mintiest elf 'honest difficult art in the Cyclopedia of Knowledge. As the subject, however, lain lite as it were, we will, for the present, *sly adjure these persons who have felt themselves hitherto in opposition to a Reform in Par. to mat-onside, the beseeoleot estatives for demanding it ; and to reflect what mischiefs sod miseries are produced by the provost Gertiteginems spirit of &bulldog seats la the Smote. Aeother sod net less glaring object for public cen sure has Brim* from the creel treatment shows to Grottiest Gooaosuo, as represented in the Petition presented by the Member for Natant last night.— Nethieg could be mere temperately urged than the violist treatment of Ms foreign Gen Leman by the manner I• which his perms and papers were seised, end himself berried, or rather heeded, out of the country, without allotting bias t►e chance of being , benefited by the solitary clause it. the shameful sod syrsoolcal Alien Act. A classy, in short, which was set forth ►y the authors of that disgraceful and arbitrary Act as as antidote to the alleged poises which ran through every other part of it. What re. sped will boohoos to Englishmeo triton's' abroad, when it is known hew inhospitably foreigners are used in England. Reagan sod earth, is the State in danger of subversion from the papers in the portfolio of sn unfortunate alien, although he may hare been a reputed and practised General! If there is any one circumstance which lets down the once high character of this cavalry beyond all ethers, it is the jealously, the fear we entertain of every man who Iles been known te, or served seder, NIkrOLION! It would have hem more magnanimous of us, if we had let the Chief himself occupy one of our old end obsolete palaces, with a certain surrounding space for his ezercise. After a nine de) s wonder all would have been easy and quirt. Public opinion is Or must be our ssfe.geard. Without runitc °risme a Go. serenest can never be seeere. If our Ministers had Naros.aon and all his Generals is iron cages within the walls of the Tower, garrisoned by the seven battalion of G muds, the Government could not thence derive se iota of additional security. The existence of the State could not be prolonged one instant by such timid, terrible, and tyrsonie proceedings. It would seem thet we have Taincrlanes for Ministers, and livjeseis for prisoners. What says the Me. Mr. DOVOLAi ?

[mow LA stINEISE IRAK; AIM] It it not by vain declamation, or by any process of reasoniost, of which tbo principles can be attacked or the sousegotneris denied ; it is by facts well anthill tieetrd, altogether inconte.tible, that I Intend to prove to those Frenchmen who are this friends of she lows, of liberty, and of their country, that the re-ac tion of 1813 was in no respect preferable to the reign of terror in 1793, and that the 9th Tbormidor and the btb Sept. delivered France from the very same enemies (birthed only by different awes. Embarrassed in this solectios of proofs, for the de tail of which many volumes would not suffice, I content mist!! with two 'samples : the first will ex hibit rilligioas fanaticism in open molt against the established Arstborities, which, indeed, it still openly brtves, breaking asunder all she ties by which fami. lies are bound, and as in the dais of dragooning, tearing childreur from the arms of their father., who in vain 'acids against this violali p o alba most sacred rights. The second will alarm hearts even the vast herd need its hatred, by • spectacle the writ inhuman that party spirit has, perhaps, ever given set the world. if I should confine myself in the simple recital of 'events, when I ea able, under the goarantee of the most respectable authorities, upon the testimony of the most authentic writing., to name persons -red places, it is because the !ossifies, of a philomphicril writer ought to be confined in the avenging of public morals: the punishment of individaal crimes belongs Ito the tribunals. The Protestant principal of one of the first cons. Inertial houses of Bourdeses, M. G. had an only daughter, on whom rested all his happiness and his hopes. Mar►iedl to a Gothalie wife, he had consent ed that his daeghter should be educated in the re. ligion of her mother, ender the care of her spiritual director, M. Les —, Vicar of St. Lewis. AL G. had op►netl his house en this priest, and lavished on him all that respect and all that confidence of which be then believed him worthy, but of which the Vicar was meditating so creel an shove. All the powers that fanaticism postmen, of Wee ties, of prejudice, and of terror, were put in practice to raise to enthusiasm the ardent soul of the young Victoire (this is the name of the daughter of M. G.), by stilling in her !hope tender family affections is which her infancy lied found so many charms. Ea. ample has more force over the stied of women then precept : a yoeng Lady, Sophia U—, was there fore introduced by the Confessor to his yeeng peni tent. of whom she soon became the inseparable friend. Vicioire, drawn insensibly into the snare laid for her with so much pftfidy, consented to the sort of elopement proposed to her, and was conducted, un known to her permits, to a prisate house, which the Vicar had taken in the Kee St. Etienne, parish of it. fur the purpose of there clandestinely founding a convent of nuns, the governs!~ of which be reserved to himself, and where Vicinira and Sophia remained in cnefinement two months, without any one being able le guess whet they had done with theeiselver. This evest plunged M. G. and his pines net to the most protested despair. After having address-' ed melees petitions to the Archbishop, the rather had recourse lei the Civil Authority, who speedily disco vered the mysterious retreat of the young fugitive.— . The Police went to the house, het their proceed*s bad bees foreseen. Mademoiselle G. had again taken • flight, and doting nearly a whole year she succeeded In secreting herself from ell their researches. Her onforienste parents resorted to the humblest suppli cations, bet this beloved and cherished child refused even am interview with them at the house of a person ' to he selected by herself. it was finally with great troeble that M. Raves, as Comm! to M. G. and sap.; ported by M. the Prefect, obtained a reunion of the ; family at the Archbishop's, whither Mademoiselle; Vicioirecaree,attended by her Adrocate,ll.Mar tigne , . It would be dillicult to conceive a scene more' heart-rending than that produced by the assemblage of thus family. Vicinity coldly disavowed the ere-; jest reproaches by which some persons hod embra cement' to calonanbrie her respectable fathe*—she equally acknowledged all the beneath she had re ceived from the inesbeestible tenderness of her pa rents, bet she Gard their prayers and saw their tears flee with isulifference. tier father, her mother, her grandmother, 87 years of age, beseeched her in vein to mum to her poncesl roof, where she would be free in live ender the roles of her society. Her ne ther fell at her feet, pressed her knees, bathed them is tears, and conjured her with uplifted hands, not to pet to death her to whom she owed he. esisteoce. This fanatic daughter obstioately persisted io a parri cidal Wesel. " The mats of God," replied she, with. cut emotion, " has told me, that I ought to quit my father and my mother to follow Jesus Christ." Iler mother fainted, and she seised the opportunity to escape. Let us hasten to say that bis Rays! Highness the Deka d'Angeolesee has forbidden this illegal So ciety, composed of three or four young girls, of whom the Vicar lee .-- is almoner, to bear the as. gest name of Maria Theresa, under the protection of which this clandeiliee Meese had bees pet. M. the Prefect has, throeghout the affair, fulfilled all the duties which his 'iteration imposed upon him. lie has proposed to M. G. to employ force to re place his daughter in his hands; but this worthy citizen, in declining to melee use of a power which both natant and thole. confer on him, has been de sires, of giving • testimonial of his respect for re ligion, which might be compromised by such a seas.

It would be in vain for the foamier. of cause religious houses to attempt to avail themselves of the exception which the law makes in I of the institution of the Grey Sisters. There pious women, dedicated by their vows to the relief of the sick, neither have nor will have tiny thing in common with these penitent sisters, whose object in solocati-g their pipits is only to multiply the dopes, ! the victims, err the iustrements of fanaticism. 1 es ono, better terminate this sad defy than by trap• scribing the hit lines of the letter which I have had the honour of receivinu from one of t h e nearest re.
