The Legislature hail laid their proplianing hands upon what had once been d-erred intatigible to all but the aaterdmital fiugere, and in affecting to snake au addition to its sAentlour, sad give new lustre to its enchitsement, they bad shaken its compactness, and prepared it fordissolution. It might reasonably be expected that ere lung the Govern. mint would feel tbe expediency of reducing the Establish. assent to a mere apostolic simplicity. A proud and pampered priesthood .was a monstrous anomaly in religion ; they teach ass poverty from their gilded chariots ; and instruct us in fasting (rem their pomp() is feasts; they tend forth their injonstions of humiiity from the l portrittes of a palace. and from 0 the primrose p.th of dalliance" they sliest as " the thorny why to heaven." flow long !hear preposterous Mount:re' ies which exposed the gorgeous Christianity of . the Establisimmont to so crumb derision would continue, it was not easy to conjecture; but it was clear that some iiispedinmep•s to anselimition hail been removed. The phon iest) of ditioe right hail disappeared, and common sense would ou longer be limited by the snere.l absnrility of the fevonrite doctrine of Churchmen—that Ecclesiastical property was beyond the control of the Legislature. He , was t o r Isom saying that he conceived that the Clergy of the Establisioneot ought not to be liberally sup ported; they should be paid in proportion to the sorvices which they perform; they Omni,' be placed inaChrittian mean between indigence and luxury. • Let it not be said that in uttering these sentiments he manifested an hostility to thee Established Church; on the cost-ary; by enabling its pastors to sustain their precepts by their example, their spiritual welfare would he naturally promoted. The Roman Catholic Clergy were in France • paid imy the 'lrreasury,anil the whole establiehment Slid not cost .oue twentieth of the suns which was lavish-d in Lenin,. upon the Church. Twenty-seven millions of French, Cattail. a were supplied with prayer at a cheaper rate then fire litiodred thousand het Protestants; yet no man cont.l say that the Roman Ca•holie Church was not austained with sufficient dignity by the Bout b ; aod what had • been the remits:o the abolition of tithes in France? that • Clergy, watch before the Revolution ball revelled in • opulence, and in consequent profligacy, was nuw conspi cuous fur piety, for learning, and fur m wale.

There would also be some proportion an! reasonableness its the • s ale of Clerical expenditure, the Hierarchy would no longer epee., r is such unchristian contra 4 with the lower orders set the Priesthood. The bloated paunch of the nuwieloily R•cter woad no longer dilate itself in secured sot eriorify over. the shrinking abdomen of the starving and miserably prolific Citrate ; every Protestant as well as l • spry Cat oiie must feel the montrosity of the present • aystoin. !Mead, that part of the Protestant population objets did not look to the Church as a means of domestic provision, concurred with the Romeo Catholics is an noxious desire for its reformation There were many who fully sympathised with the highly respectable Gentleman (t iomnel Butler) who hail first expresied such an honour able ant dignified love for his coantry. It was by a cm • • °aeration wish Protestants of his character and 'national sentiments, that the public benefit would be most effectually promot-d. Mr. Dwyer fully agreed with Mr. Seanlan; he thought it trout/ be injudicious to adopt any resolution which might excite the jealousy of the Protestants. The Association had been formed for the purpose of endeavouring to obtain redress for Catholic grievances. Mr. Costello thought that gentlemen should have con sidered that, b-fore they adopted a Petition to Parka:tient on the @object of the ellllllll ni,trAtioo of justice in Irel a nd, Mr. O'Connell considered the objection to the motion was mere in point of form titan of substance. He could nut conceive bow their adopting it would increase hostility towards them. He could not imagine how the malignity of time Orange Press, or the Orange laolgee, could be in• creesed. lie should regret mach that the Association should be confirm. d to any petty grievance, or by any b:ctariae or narrow object. Mr. Ron sync considered that 'be Association was not • formed solely fur the purpose of petitioning fur Catholic Emancipation. • The motion was then put and carried4with the dissentient I voices of .Messrs. Scanlan and Dwyer. Mr. Sheil gave notice of a motion for the appointment of a Committee, to devise the best means of opening the Corpo. ration to the C..thvllcs. • 'fits Honourable Colonel Pierce Butler was then called to the Chair, when the thanks of the meeting were unani mously voted to Edward Power, Esq., for his dignified and proper conduct in the Chair.

That part of the sentence which decreed that the bola of Riego should be divided into fire parts, and sent to different places, has not been, and will not he, carried into effect." Frract of a private letter from Madrid, dated November 7th, 1823. The Duke d'Angouleme left Madrid at 12 o'clock, on the 4th inst.—As soon as his Royal Higlattesa had quitted the capital, the second Court of Alcaties d' Casa y Corte hastened the neesury prepar.tions fur making the ill fated jtiego drink the last drop of the chaliCe of bitteraess. Many of those occupied in these preparations had but eight wionibs before bailed bias u a hero. He was transferred from the p ieon where he had hitherto been to the public prison at usual hoar of the night; there his sentence was read to buss, which was as fellows Dos Rafael Rine is con• THE STA' demned to the capitA•punishment of the gibbets heis to be dragged through all the streets leading to the' place of, execution, his property to he confiscated to,tbe profit of the King's Chamber, and he is to pay the evpeoses of his trial." At 10 o'clock on the morning of the sth he was led into the berning Chapel (4 room lighted up with funeral mindles, and other emblems of death.) In this situation, which struck with grief every man possessed of a spook of proper feeling, Riego showed the most noshranking arm• near. All be said was, " May Con grant that my death may conduce to the happiness and trsn• (futility of Spain." These words will not be forgotten, and may one day twing.tears Into the eyes of his murderers.— The unfortunate Riego was sent to the scaffold in virtue of an ex post facto law, a circumstance which history Oil apt forget, In recording these deplorable times. It was during the night of the Mb that the preparations were made for the exemillon. Amongst the crowd of ferocloaa people who looked en with pleasure at the progress of this fatal work, some weraremarked and fully recodwzed to be the same. who on a very different but not distant occasion, lied shouted in the ears of Rirgn, " Viva kerosde lad Cabezue!" TO day (7th) tbe execution took place at the Plaza de to Cebada.--Here and in all the adjacent streets there was an immense crowd of people, amongst whom were numbers of monks and priests, es also in the windows. Silence prevailed during his passage from the prison to the fatal spot. During this agonizing march, and to the last instant of his existence, he exhibited all the calmness and serene courage of a generous stature, willing to be sacri ficed in the cause of his country. On mounting the scaffold, his legs appeared to be feeble, they ware evidently swelled, pro. bably in consequence of his recent illness, and the weight of the irons with which he had been loaded. When the execu- Miner made a sign that he had ceased to exist, a viva was setts forth by a number of persons close to the gibbet, which was obf an immense bright.

We do not as yet hear of any Express from Paris, bat we have seen two gentlemen just arrived from that capital, who informs us that the King remains much indisposed, and that it is the general opinion of the medical gentleman that he cannot last the winner. They also state es almust positive that the King of Spain is determined not to ratify the old Spanish Loan, which has caused great distress at Paris amongst a number of persons who have speculated in it. FORZION FUNDII.—There is little doing this morning in the above marker. Spanish Bonds opened at 201fli—Spaniah, old, 48if. Poyais is worth scarcely any thing. In all other foreign small's there is numbing doing.

ANTIGUA, JULY B.—The Legislature met on Thursday l.sst, and shortly after, the Assembly proceeded to business. A motion was made to Blear the House, which was accord . ing!y done; and they continued with closed doors during t' e remairder of the Sitting. Reports sat•, it was to take into consideration the isamedia e establishment' of an effective militia, to guard against any evil attempt on the peace of the county, which may result from the measnres now pursuing at home, SICKNESS AT NATCHEZ —We deeply sympathize in the affliction with which this place is visited. To the accounts hitherto published of the force and severity of the disease, we now add, from a private letter, with the perusal of which we lia r v o i r s e een favonred, on account of its peculiarity. at • is no uniform mode of attack," says the writer. —" Some become suddenly wild and frantic, even while pursuing their ordinary business, and apparently perfectly well, so that it requires the strength of four or bye to hold them. Others are differently affected. Pails., violent end excruciating, attack the head, hack, and limbs—violent pain and burning skin succeed—roiniting, and great irri tation of the stomach—weakness, and death. One of t h e physicians, a most respectable young man, was taken in a similar manner. His spirits Were unusually excited; he I.agl4d—danced—and sung all the songs be could think of, and appeared perfectly happy. Other symptoms soon occurred, which too plainly iiiiiicared his situation. He I was soon numbered with the dial!" To this account of the peculiar character of the' disease, which has made Natches desolate, is added the follow• " You can form no idea of the distress and` suffering in' this city. Coffins can hardly be bad for the dead. Carts going in from the country on business are seized for the purpose of carrying oat the bodies. The sick frequently lie ?own and die wi'hout remedy, and not a soul to hand them even a cop of col I water !" The same letter confirms the previous statements as to the anmb~r(3 or 400) which remain, out of a population of ' 3000. harry person that could, has left the city.

The exception, too, is worthy of the country, for it proceeds from an individual who, in every public sense, is its disgrace and shame. The only being in the Metro polis, who exults in the murder of Riego, is the pander of the Bourbons—a renegade and an apostate—a cowardly traducer of all his opponents—and a sycophantic fawner upon " authority," for the mercenary advantages which it is accustomed to shower upon its parisites, with no sparing hand. Eve, the Courier is ashamed of the foul and barbarous assassination. The Morning Post stigma tizes it, with bold reprobation. All the parties agree in the condemnation ; except the Editor of the New 'Times. He is the constant apologist of despotism. Whether it bare its bloody arm for as individual murder, or for the slaughter of whole hecatombs, he is always ready to give it absolution; and to applaud its sanguinary measures. He is even still baser, still more despicable than this. With a f rocity, cm' I pared to which, that of the murderers of Weare is lamblike, 1 he fastens upon the dead bodies of the murdered victims of arbitrary power, and endeavours to blacken their reputation, in the hope of diverting the atten;ion from the crimes of its patrons. This knave still calls Riego a rebel, and a murderer ; knowing himself to be in both instances, a deliberate wantoner in falsehood. Rebel he was none. He pro claimed the wishes of the whole Spanish army : and of a great portion of the Spsnith;people, for a free constitution. it was established amongst the enthusiastic approbation of nearly all Spain. And although the New Times refers us to the seal with which the ancient order has been re stored, let it remember that it has been restored by the ai I of 100,%10 foreign banditti, and at. the expense of milliotis in bribery of the basest description, while the revolution was accomplished without the expenditure of a shilling, with -1 out shedding one drop of blood, and without fi ring a 1 single musquet. It is easy to determine which event had most the countenance of the people. The wretches, who under the protection of French bayonets, are now exulting in the ferocity of Ferdinand, were, for three years, the tacit approvers of the constitution : and if the New Times will obtain the removal of the French troops, he will see Ferdinand again in captivity or adorning the gibbet on which Riego perished, in the course of a very short period. The Spanish nation is now silent, The wretches who disgrace it, as the News Times disgraces England, usurp its voice. Riego is accused of having deposed the King; and the wretched journal alluded to, asks if there be no crime in deposing a King ! That de i panda upon the character of the King. There certainly 1 was no crime in deposing such a King as Ferdinand ; and had he been tried and executed for the murder of Porlier. he would have been spared another murder, for which the lowest depth of purgatory must await; him ; if " there are gnd., and virtue is their care." But did Itiego &pre Ferdinaud ? The contrary is the fact. Riego maintained hint on his throne, and preserved his life, when a word from the murdered hero would have lost him both. Itiego bridled the tyrant, but protected the man:—and the tyrant, iu return, has murdered his protector. The New limes repeats the charge of Riego having shot eight persons at Malaga. Had he been guilty of such an offence, no matter with what palliation, he would have been accused of it, to give a colour to his sacrifice. This charge appears sow no where but in the horribly prostituted columns of the .New Times:.--and the Editor propagates the lie which lie does not credit, to save appear ances with such of his readers as might not relish the beverage of blood which he prepares for them, without this palt7 reasoning. . - The next crime of which Ri ego is accused, to " colour murder, with some sort of grace," is that he encouraged the singing of the song called, " Tragala Perro •." in the presence of the King! We will waste no words upon this ridiculous accusation. The Editor of the Neto Times, we have no doubt, would hang up the wit who christened him Dr. Slop! But the next statement is a new falsehood— another lie forged for the purposes of the day, to slander a fallen hero. It is said that' the object of the mutiny in MO, of which Itiego was the ringleader (this wretched writer is speaking of the ItiVOLUTION as a mutiity!) was , " to over urn the monarchy, kill the kiog, and establish a " republic !" This is the very climax of falsehood. It is a falsehood, told in the fare of Europe, and of the world. If such had been the case, Itiego might have been justified. To overturn such a Mo narchy as that of Ferdinand would have been a virtue.— To kill such a King would not have been the most atroci ous crime on record; and to have established a republic, if there could hare been found enough of virtue fora baris, would have been a blessing to the world. If the object had been to kill the King, wiry teas he spared? He was at tine mercy of his conquerors for years. But they were not Royalists:— and they thought that be might be taught the duties of his office—that he might be contented with the just authority of a Chief Magistrate; and learn to value it only as the means of doing justice to the people. Riego ha y had his mistake written in his blood ! May future revolu tionists remember his fate, and profit by the lesson !which it reads to them. The itit'otk Exchange has with a very proper, regard to its own interests, ultkfted the attempt to introduce a new Royalist Spanish loin, notwithstanding the New Times thought they alight he as sell swieilleit by Ferdinand as any body els., since he WWI wodenge in hes drosind s and offered very fair tertms:—which meant that be %weld take what he eunU yet, and,pay for kat his Leisure. A morning paper is extremely s e vere on for enforcing the order of the Megistrates to prevent It than one solicitor from seeing John Thurtcll. We regret that the order should have been given; but the ow standing was fsirly stated to all parties; t the Magistrates are not to •be blamed for ; excess of caution, in such a case. The Court King's Bench has ordered the admission, a t matter of course ; and no mischief can have been auk ed by the accused. The pro o f o f an a libi, t h e on l y oae t 4 can await John Thurtell, require s no great time to p repa , and if any cause could be shewn for the postponement , the trial, it would be granted. It is not in such ea t , that the English law, or the administration of it, is lia, te censure. The correspondence between the Canon Riego, and French Ambassador, will awaken the most painful rd tion. The attempt to save the life of such a men as Iti was a sacred duty on the part of bis brother, and his s The result was easy of anticipation.
