Mien ro-oivration may be mutually ben..ficial sie churchmen and dissenters; and make the one a elntelt Upon the other's propensities. If the formality of the obnrch restrained the rash innovatiuns and ire*- , gnleelties of diseenterism, the liberty and zeal of the lottite might preserve the format from the elotirfel in difkrenee and religious torpor into which wealthy establisbulents meehanically fall. Churchmen, pro miteil to jealousy by emulation, might thus controul the bias and recruit the energy of ancient institutions, and by a skilful generalship, render the liberty and pemperity of dissenterism the surest e uarautee of their stebility r , usefulnesf, and value. 'But if we truly believe such would be the ultimate tesdreney of the measure, should not this. it may be asked, reconcile us to any temporary disabilities in its operation, since the overthrow of the national church ascot be deemed an object derontly to be wished by the eon-conformists! Certainly, Sir, we are firmly perintsded that all the corrupt forms of Christianity, in which Chorch-of-Englentlism seems to be included, are destined in the order of providence; at no very distant period, to be reformed or abolished. But we arty not so abserely credulous as to imagine that the members of the (.'parch of England, by the mere in &more of truth, will'freely abolish the dignities and emoluments of their own establishment, or suspend it. alliance with the state, identified as it is with the wealth, fashion, influence and social habits of the rAintry. .Ind *e have no wish to have it overthrown ./.3. revolutionary violence or the brutal triumphs r infidelity and atheism, in which our own liberties, sitil and rtligioes, with every thing most dear in so ci'ty might be exposed to jtopar.ly and ruin. Nor will the dissenters lend their assistance toward such an object, were it contemplated by others. so long as at legistature shall maintain the principles of tole ration, and the tights of conscience inviolate. We b, sere the Church of England, with all its imper fvetioes, inelmies many characters and customs which str, highly beneficial to the community, while it contains many rights and resources which must he w' sacred to their proprietors as our own liberties. Hut we think the wider diffusion of knowledge, the candid evaporation of all parties for public objects, :tell a greater adherence to the New Testament, irre srctivrly of human authority, would in due time pro . lee those necessary reforms in the constitnlion, Jis f ,rtnularies, and revenues of the En.:lisle • I , nrcli. wh i ch would meet the improvements of the e:le, and preserve it from the otherwise inevitable I..te of corrupt establishments. By such a ptwess, to which popular education on a liberal plan troald, of conrse, besnltservient, the principal grounds 06 dissent might be obviated, and the points of dif ference reconciled with unity of faith and reciprocal t..rbearance. Renouncing the absn.d an.l impossible • ;time of ecclesiastical nniformity among half-think ing Wines, and securing the virtual union of the Christian Church by the bond of charity and the suf ftiency of scripture, all denominations might learn to ...Rep the asperities of dissension, while they mo t !led their energies to improve their respective lust'. turions, to promote the interests of the country, and a vance as widely as possible the salvation of the it old.

No whistling, no calling, no patting world do, stir he would not. In his agony, this afflicted man raised a crowd about the door, to whom he told his lamentable story. The dog became au Object of universal interest, and of close attention. He shivered and he howled, but nu seduction, no caresssing, no experiment, could make him desert his post. By some of the populace it was proposed to send for the Police, by others was proposed a remedy more summary, namely to force in and search the house, which was immediately done. 'I he crowd burst in; every apartment was searched; waa senrehol There was no trace whatsoever of the countryman. Dori 1 this investigation, the (log still remained centinel a: the shop door, which was bolted within to keep out the crowd that was immense outside.

The dog seemed in a stay of infelketral agony and fury. It was now proposed to give the animal his way, to see what course lie would pursue. The moment he was let loose lie dew tlironeli the shop, darted -down stairs into a (lark cellar, where he set tip the most dis mal lamentation. Lights being procured, an aperture was discovered in the wall corn 1111 l 'skating to the lira house, which was immediately snrrounded, and in the cellar where of was bond the body of the unfortunate man who had been mirsing. The person who kept this shop was a po:irsiee. It is unnecessary to say that those miserr.ants were brought to trial and execntell. The bets that ap peared upon that trial, and afterwards upon confession. were there: — Those incautious travellers, whilst in the shop of this fiend, unhappily talked of the money they hail about them. and the wretch, who was a robher and a murderer hy profession, as soo as the one turned his hack, drew his r azor:cross h e nthroat of the other and plundered him.

LONDON: lAONDAT ETTNINO. MAT 14, 1821. Charlestown Papers arrived this morning to the 15t1 of April, from which we extract the following : (CICTOACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM IIAtANNAII, • DATED APRIL 7.] " I wrote yon by the Jane. under date of tl:e Ist inst., in which l stated the circatnitince of a recent disturbance at Mexico, but by more recent advice from that place, via Vera erns, it appears that the first reports which reached us were rather of an aggravated nature. There had, indeed, been some serious disturb ances in that quarter, hut the Viceroy was not deposed as at first stated, and the insurgents were not likely to succeed in their design of overthrowing the Govern ment. The Captain lieneral of Vera Cruz had marched to the relief of the Viceroy 8000 own, and there was not the least doubt that order would be restored. The Consulado has presented a strong r emonstrance against the new tariff. in consequence of which, it has been determined to postpone the operation of it for ninety ,lays. Four hundred and twenty-nine vessels have en tered the Port of llavannalt, in the month of July, of which forty-eight were Suanislt, fifty Americans, ten English, seven Danish, four French, four Dutch, two Sardinia, one Ilamhro, one Bremen, one Portnguese, and one Prussian. The official return of the gold and silver has been published, coined in our Royal Mint at Mexico, in 1420, which amounts to 10,106.1.5-1 Paris papers awl letters of Thursday last hive come to hand. The Court of Peers a ssembled on 0 etlnesday as a Court of Justice, on the trial of the conspirators of the 19th August. The day was nearly occupied in reading the preliutinary proceedings. The first witness was then called, hut after a short &motion, as to his competency, it was weed to adjourn till Thursday. The journals are nearly filled with the proceedings. A private letter states, that previous to the trial, the following circular order was sent by the tensors of the press to the responsible editors of the riodical papers : ••coatattsstnxor CCNACRIL " Pants, MAI 7.—The responsible editors of peri odical papers are informed, that the [louse of Peers heing constituted a Conrt of Justice, by the ordinance of the King relative to the rfloellion (thus, by the way, giv log a name to a plot which is not to be found even in the art of acrnsation) of t he 19th of Augnst, the report of the proceedings must be submitted to the previous exa mination of the Cmntnittee of Censure, in the same manner as any report of any affair before any ordinary tribunal" What can Englishmen think of any stat ement of the trial, or of the fairness of the proceedings, or of the spirit of the Judges themselves, if such an order as this is to be obeyed, which assumes a jurisdiction over the highest tribunal in the kingdon4and threatens I to expunge such parts of their proceedings as may hap pen to be offensive ?

From a sinail;tr source we learn that the Governor of Nice on the 10th of April ordered the coat of arms to be removed from the hotel of the Spanish Conseil. Great cariosity is felt at Nice as to the light in which the Spanish Government will view this measure, which seems to have been commanded by the King V. F:nna awl. It is added that the Count de Pumas was at 'Nice a few days ago. with a mission of great impor taste. The French Government, displeased at seeing Turin and Alessandria in the bands of the Austrians, to whom those fortresses open the south of France, hffered to the King Victor F:mmanuel an army to put him again on his throne, if he would refuse the as sistanee of Austria and Russia; but the very day :Per the arrival of the Omni de D a mes, the altair—e' Vermil took place, and Piedmont Wm' j at n submitted Mr. ScAnt.spr's Bill to The following are estrarts from the public. journal; :Ithe relief of th e poor itiegla.•4 ..Fetal's, Mar 10.—Tbe King held yesterday at present, CUOllidefai Se Ministers. lion.

They contain the following account of dor proceedings of the Cortex :-- hl nal co, APRIL 29.-1 n the sitting of the 2fillo, wises the first communication was made, M. Sancho said it was evidently necessary to repress many ecclesiastics, and to encourage public spirit ; tha it was clear, from the despatches, that the erclesiastiis had peen the Intl , gators of that di-o:oler, as they had of others; aid be therefore moved that a special committee be charged to report to the Cones, with the least possihle delay, the measures to be adopwd to repress and to punish the sc. elesial•tics who, abasing their sacred [auction, na. de:IVO:Well to involve Oa iti civil war. Messrs. Berm. ben and Romero Alpnente said this was a proper op► portunity to read, for the second time, certain reply flans of theirs matte on a former occasion relatire le a similar eoject, and M. Alpttente said that all thedissr tiers which hail arisen were to be ascribed to the clue; that they are the cause of all the ills we suffer, aid those which threaten us, of all the 101000 l which huge may he shed; and that they only seek to involve al) civil war.

M. Sancho'smotiee was adopted. M. Ilernabetes propositions beiag red, were referred to the same committee. The aim of them was, that the Uovernment should engage the Pope te exhort those Archbishops and Bishops who were storm from the kingdom for their political opinioss, anti whose temporalities are sequestrated, to resign their dignitiee: and that those Prelates who are at their Sees, hat whose opinions are at variance with the care to which all the nation has sworn, sheadd do die sagas thing ; and if they refused they should be declared heel in law, and their Sees filled by friends t. the Quito lion, possessing the qualities enumerated M.
