The expectation of a Pseprilitaita tive Constitution, founded oil the most liberal prin ciples, set•nts to be very generally entertained throughout the Prussian States, and opinions are said to be fret ly expressed in Berlin and the other large tow us, on the nature of political institutions, and the tendency of political freedom to ensure the pro.perity oft:nullifies. The Ministers of State are said to hold the most liberal notions on this subject, hut at the same tune tte cannot avoid suspecting the purity of those motives that have so long de barred the Prussians from the enjoyment of this anticipated blessing. Sevtral years bays passed since the promise of a free Constitution sus origi nally made by the King of PRUSSIA ; but it has not as yet pleased his Majesty to fulfil this promise, nor do we lied that any measures have been adopt ed for uscrrt.iui og the sentiments of the people upon this important suhj.i t, If the people are wottliy of freedom, they might to have some part in raining the system of their liberty. The excel lence of a Coliatittation, or form of Government, firituded upon [laws, depends tu ita cotiformity with the wishes nod sentiments of those for a hose use it iv rstabli,hrd, uluil theoretical freedom might bet owe practic:tl slavery should it militate against the: ideas, habits, or even the pr,juilices of the people.

The Circumstance is slot notice,' in the other papers of the pastor date. We boy.. ,, er understaud that the paragraph refers to the fanner. An article from Vienna tastes that the F.mperor ALEXANDER, previous to his departure from that cvital, had assured many persons of his intention to return to Vienna in about three years. Front this circumstance, united with the engagement re corded in the final Declaration issued by the late Congress, for the holding of occasional conferences, we sl 10 be induced to imagine that the time for conveneig another Congress hold been arranged at and *hilt the next visit of the Emperor ALEXANDER to Vienitti, after a lapse of three years, is contemplated us tl e fulfilment of that arrangement. We have revived New York Papers to the 28th of last month, by which we are happy to perceite that the Murders of AILBUTUNOT and AMBRISTEa are likely to he investigated. both in the Senate and thrungLoitt the country, with earnestness and asst. dui!r. In the House of Representatives the sub ject had Ic•CII incidentally noticed, on a notion re. I.ltiVe. to the arrangement of Committee business, tut with a tone that prosed how highly the import. alive of the alibject %%;14 appreciated.

The motion Wel however tieoi g ht nrenHiore, until the information promised in the ris:stprvt's Message r.hoilld have been kid before the Hour, and the Itemintion woe ordered to lie on the table. Th.. F,ubjeet was again miticeil on the 17dt, by Mr. LACOCK, who embodied the case of. il.e.e ulifintmeite men in a Itetolotion for the prnain•tirm of correspondence between the Go• vernotects of the United States mid of Spain.— : Mom time the subject has been warmly agitated in the public Papers, some or which assail JACK ; lON with great violence; but, on tine other band, h e is no less w•irinly au sported by others. It is mentioned that l:e is about to " retire" from the ' army, on account of ill health and considerations of b 11l i t less ; brit ire trust that, after having vio lated every principle of justice and humanity, and affixed a ►tain to the character of his country, he will not be starred to slick away from the disgrace and infamy that should follow his offence. Ilk conduct is assimilated in one of the American Pa pers to that of Governor Wall, who, it will be re membered, was hanged at the Ohl Bailey for mur der; but, as far as we are apprised of the circum stances, there is no other similarity between the cases tl•an what arises from thirst of blond. This eircisniqinice, however, vill serve to *hew the strong feeling of abhorrence with which his conduct is vies. ed by his own romitrynien. A Bill his been brought into the House of Repre sentatives, the 01.-crvatioris on which afford a melan choly picture of the sufferings of the emigrant* from Forrope in their passage to the United States. They are not exceeded by the privations of the blacks in the Mid lle l'a,sagr, nor attended with less morta lily. Of 5,000 who sailed from Antwerp, &c. in the year ISI7, one thousand died on the passage. In one imtarice, a Captain bailed from a Dutch port with 1,287 pa,serigers its a single ship; lie shortly after put into the Text" ; in the interval 400 had died, and 300 more died before the vessel reach ed Philadelphia. A Bill has accordingly been brought into the House of Representatives to re strict the cumber of passengers to two for every five tons burden. A proposition was also made in the Howe of Representatives for allotting certain por 'Mos of land in the State of Illinois for Irish tmi gratth, a t t w o dollars an acre, to be paid by in►tal tuents within twelve )ears—but it was rejected. Mr. Wit.t.tams, after urging the expediency of re. during; the army. proposed a resolution to that ef fect in the Senate, on the I which was ordered to he on the table. Nothing has injured the cause of truth and hu manity muie than the unwillingness of men to as sent to principles which can be no longer doubted, and to evidence which can he no longer questioned. %Voided to their own prejudices, they shut !Lea eye.; to the light of truth—indeed it is the melan choly failing of some to cherish moat ardently the prijoilices which are most dangerous and most un charitahlr. What though their opinions have been o thou sand times refuted—what though the charges they adduce have been repeatedly demonstrated as filse— they still press them forward with the most shame less inalicity, careless of the contempt and repso batiuti sif the wise and good, if they eau inflame the wor.t pasaitmv of the bigotted and the ignorant. It is to this infirmity that we must attribute an article which appeared in The Sun of M lay night article wheth ciiiihnis sentiments that would be very rlatiy,-rioti , , if they were tint very absurd—and iitinneminms , which, would be very distresiing, if thry Wt.; • mot toiniiii;u%ly fa INC. The V. Intl' l'!! pc 'PI'S treat alarm., at abet he die daring c•ia;ti of the Roman Catiniiks, his fears for the Protestant Church. As to this, if his fears be sincere, we pity the weakness of his understanding—if they are affected, to produce thin alarm in others which he feels not himself, we abhor the wickedness of Isis designs. But let fools and bigots rail, still the mighty course of events an!! proceed—and Britain will vindicate her claim to justice and humanity by breaking the chains ot brave and faithful subjects. The Sun is astonished at what he is pleas. l l to term the indiscretion of the Protestant Nolnhtt, Gentry, and Citizens of Ireland, who are at tho moment anxiously latrouring to forward the e all , t of their Catholic countrymen. The San most go. Derou.ly feel, for the Protestanta, who, it w,,„',1 seem, are too weak and too ignorant to f 1%.- then)%elvea. " Can the Protestants (s iv hp, ignorant as not to suppose that the Papists will never satirfied till the lands which belong►d their progenitors, and which are now iii the hands of Protestants, shall be restored ? Wh:a then are they doing but fostering future rehellionsi and pr h. stiotiag the ruin of themselves ■nd their descend. ante, Mb well as the destruction of thei► torn faith?' We conftss we know not in what language w.! should observe on this moat extraordinary para. graph. We would take it as the last proof of weak. WU and of folly in the writer if we could bring oar- selves to think that he meant it foie the Protertitta. of Ireland : we are more lochnett to suppose that it wsr m itten fur another porpohe—that is. an aopeol In the wort passions of the worst part of the Eng. lish people—of those who are ignorant of the reel state of Ireland—of the habits, the s. , Htimetits, and the views of the people there. It is intended to 611 the [outdo of the people with gloomy and horrid in+n'. s—it is an attempt to awaken once more the ttyof6' No Popery than °thous and brutal cry. whirls every wile and good matt lamented as a stain upon the stational character—as au attempt to drown the voice of reason, and to control the high func tions, and overawe the important deliberations of the Legislature. This most odious appeal cannot be intended for the Protestants of Ireland—the writer knows that they would :i l ium him—that they would despise his opinions as absurd, and denounce his charges as calumnious. They would answer those charges as *lvey have been often answered before—they would tell him that they love their Catholic contrymen— that the chain of social ft tendship, of firmly con nexion, and of public sympathy, bound them to each oilier as friends and as brothers—they would point to those innumerable ants by which the Ca tholic has so unequivocally prove.l his loyalty to his King, his love to his coffin! c, and his failhful attachment to his neighbours and his friends. The Protestants would say, " You are a stranger alike to our feelings and our conduct, you shall not inter. rupt our affectionate intercourse—the voice of dis sention is hushed in our land, you shall not call it fortli—we wish for peace, and we seek it in the union and equality of our people—we wish to see our country prosperous, and therefore we wish to see our country free. You shall not disgrace the Catholic by your calumny—you shall not disgrace the Protestant by perverting his mind, and turning him from the path of reason and liberality. As fur the preservation of our property, that is our cud. cern, not yours—your observations on this head are equally offensive to the Catholic and to the Prute— tant—it charges the Catholic with fraud, it charges the Protestant with folly, and it chargss both falsely. We seek for no further security thaii the security of the laws and the integrity of the people; but if we looked farther, we cannot forget that property is at this day distributed amongst the people in general ; that it is variously settled ; that property, which was formerly in the hands of Priottb' twits, is now by right of purchase, of family arraligt ments, and other legal ways, in the hands of Catho lics; in a word, that the Catholics of Ireland are at this day as much interested iu the preservation of property, as now settled by law in that country, the Protestants can possibly be ; and therefore 1 , ,s observation only shews the grossest ignorance, thc greatest folly, and the most shameless falsehood. " It is false and foolish, because it imputes to the Catholic motives which he not only does not elite,. tain—wbich, as a rational creature, he could not entertain—but of which he is in nowise suspected by any fair or sensible man. It 'hews your igno rance not only of the situation of Ireland, but of the feelings of human nature, and the effect 01 human institntions. You would promote religion by injustice—you would promote tranquillity 1) promoting discontent —you would secure properi by the same odious chain thut would bins' to the earth our friends, our neighbours, our country nieti—those who are endeared to us by all the sacred ties of public and of private obligation. We will secure them in another way—we will secure them by gratitude and by justice. *- We abhor your doctrines—they are against the feelings of our nature mid the dictates of our reason. Grateful to God and our country for our lovable ble liberty, we feel that we would not deserve the possession of so great a gift. if we did not wish, in the spirit of Christian love and charity, to share its blessings with all mankind."
