The irMikirk3ti.)ll of the troops is stated to have taktn place 33 Long ago as 111? '4'4th of Animal ; but, with the exc. pt;an of a paragraph in a Brinillai paper of the 17th ult , it it &lapin enough, that no intelligence whaler's, rrspesoing Ilea expedit.on. transpired till Tuesday last. when, as we tgated the following warning, a loiter was rewired in th.•, t':• T , which fur the brat time nick the Ungliali public aeqtaaioteel with the fact. It would appear. bolvismr. Nu' Um 80,j:inert communication. that the British Waist arc Cot ii,morant of this 100s -ceding, to which. man attonpn on the part of France to recover possiwaion of a retroktal Colony, t►e/ :wild draw no objection. It is, Ward. in einitrailietiost to the statement contained in this I:ttcr, said that the French GovernMent telly apprised our Ministry that a fleet would sail to relieve the French gar- I risons in the West Indies. In whatever terms the information I may have been given, we cannot suppose that any design could exist to practise a deception, unless it be believed that the object of this expedition is not at. Domingo, but some of the late Spanish Colonies on the American Con tinent. We are far from reposing with coedit! .:ice in the declarat:ims of the French Gwernment ; the history of the Cord , 3 Sani!aire is too fresh in our memory : but, on the other hand, it if hardly credible that France would provoke a war with this country ; as she knows she must do, if she interfere by force of arms in the American ques tion. The experience of her invasion of Spain ought ta here strengthened her attachment to a pacific policy. The price, could it be I.otre ofF withcut a contest, might tempt her to seize it ; but the combined hostdity of England aril the United States, would in six months sweep frum the face of the ocean every vessel in the ner.ch nary ; and without a navy what could all Europe do across tha At lantic? We abstain from taking into account the unne cessary perfidy with which the French Government would have stained their intercourse with the British Cabinet ; though it is difficult to suppose that they would hare aggravated their guilt by gratuitous profersions of neutrality, when, with the unifies' share of diplomatic adroitness, they might have held themselves aloof from the subject till their purpose was ready for developement. We must add, however, that the expedition to St. Domingo appears a strange waste of men and money. A sounder policy would lead Fraitm to consider that once fine end Sousishing Colony as' utterly lust to her dominion—or, at the best, recoverable only at an expense beyond its worth. It would be necessary .wholly to exterminate the adult Ilaytians before the island could again be restored to its Colonial state. Are 'the French preparird to carry the war to this length? They may depend upon it, that no task is less easily performed that!, that of reducing to slavery a popu lation who have so recently emaneipatvil themselves. To say nothing of what is due to humanity, it would hare been wiser to employ the sums thus expended in indemni fying the Colonists of St. Domingo, elsewhere, and in promoting the prosperity of the other islands belonging to France. The following is the letter : Soun after the dismissal of the Myths Commissioners, sent to Frar.ce to negotiate the acknowledgement of St. Domingo as an independent State, orders was given by the Frer.ch Government *a prepare an expedition against the Island. Four thousand men, forming part of it, were ordide.l to Beast, and there embarked on M *deb of Atipst. The expedition then set sail to )aria Admiral Dr re nx off Martinique, when an additional number of weep% collected for several moths putt, were to bo taken on board, and the whole to proceed tort. Ournini,o. On arriving off the island, it was rot intended to undertake anything decisive in the first instance, which the smallness of the for6zs would sot admit of, but to get posiessiori of some string places on the healthiest put of the coast, throw up additional fortifications. and then enter into sego. elation, with some of the Chiefs, many of whom are still attached to Franco. SL,uld these fail, then strong reinforcements w..uld be sent (own France. and hostilities eonimenct, whnst the am would eataillsli the strictest blockade Wont the principal ports of the island.

We give to-day, from the Etats, a comparison of the , situation of Protestants in France, with that of Ca tholics in England, written for the purpose of lauding , the toleration of the Catholic Church, at the expense of the Protestant Clergy. The statements are exainterated, and will therefore not produce the effect,--in this country at least e —at which the writer alms. The estimate of Protestants in France is certainly too low, and that of the Catholics in the United Kingdom too high; and the religious policy of Englerul towards those who diTT from the religion of .he State is not depleted with mach candour. It LI not a principle of English law to destroy Catholics or Itissentere, though no support is administered to them; and taking the converse et the propesitioo, even the Cetholie advocate in the Finite will net pretend. that i: is a principle of the Catholic Chureh to give aid in I spreading what she considers to be heretical opinions. As to the assertion, that the Protestant Clergy in the British Empire live on the spoils of the ancient church, it is enough to say in reply, that we hays only given to a fresh set of trustees the funds bequeathed by our ancestors, for the service of religion, to a former set who had grossly abused their Irmo. In France, we are told, the Catholics have not taken a farthing from the Protestants. It is impossible they should ; fee it is only since the Revolution that the latter have lived in security there. Before that period, hew many atrocious blots are there in the history of Franee, occasioned by the persecution's:Wl:red by the Protestants? The Catholics have been excluded from polities! power in this country, but they have never been anaseaered. But whi'e we defend ourselves from misrepresentation, let us be careful rot to excite the vindictive feelings of either party against the other. Each has sinned in the sp;rit of animosity during the ages that are passed. Let our of be now to heal all wounds, and do justiee. We wish the Catholics would be advised so more moderation in their merle of pressing their claims, because we are con vineed their warmth not a little retards their succeis. The condition of the Cethrilics is not what, at this day, and in the present state of heroic, it ought to be. It is too true, that " they are children disinherited by their father, cid excluded from all marks of contidtme, and from every pursuit which leads to hon our and fortune. They bear all the blueing of the Scam, and slue none Of its advantages." We slaottl6l he glad to see them matured to the fell enjoy. merit of their political rights, and their clergy supported by Governireta, et the Protestant Ministers are in France. The denger to which we were emu exped from the Ca , tleilie religion has ceased ; and it is due to the loyalty of their &mamma 34 Sli3jA.l3, to op n every avenue to their lierieurable ambition. Never was there a L.ing more fttc.l to this great work of jestice.

It is again rumoured that the English Opera House will ho apprwriated to the performance of Italian ( t:h.ras during the whole of the ensuing wiuter. Handel, in his early youth. discovered such a passim for music, as could not be subdued by the commands of his father, who intended him for the profession of the law. He had mad* a consiekrable progress in this art by stealth, before he was allowed i piaster; but at seven years old his father, finding it impossible to fix his attention to any thing but music, for which he seemed to have been cu dowel by nature with very uncommon propensities and ' faculties, placed him under Zaellan, organist of the Cathe dral of Halle, a man of considerable abilities in his pro. fession. By the time he was nine years old, our young musician ass not only able to officiate at the organ of his master, but began to study composition ; and at this early period of his life, is said to have composed a service, or as it is called in Germany, Spiritual Caalala, every week, fur voices sad instruments, during three successive years. The vary simple and well-known air. Trutt Prafi, in Akins, which was constantly encored, was at first sent back to Handel. by Carestini, as too trilling for him to sing ; upon which he went in a great rage to his loilgin , ;,s, and in a tone in which few composers except Handel ever ventured to seem a first-nte singer, exclaimed, in his usual curious dialect, and - with his accustomed impiduo sity, " You tog; don't I know better as yourscluf vast is pest for you to sing? If you sill slot sing all de sang ram I give you, I rill not pay you chi stiver."--On a similar occasion, upon Cuzzoni insolently refusing to sing his ad mirable air, luisa bn.: 4 ine, in nth-, he told her that he always new sho was a ere / devil, but that he should let far know, in her turf, that he was Beelzebub, the prince of ilevi:s.

We are aware that the ineretion of the art of printing has been ascribed by several writers to JOHN (111v:w -ar so ; but a discovery that should confer immortality ought not to be incautiously assigned. All the best-we t:tonics:eel and most conclusive testimonies are in favour of JOHN FAUST, who likewise lived in the house here alluded to, then celled Zesietexc tire, but afterwards known by the name of the y rintin;--7,nare.

A Brussels paper states that Charles X. is to be crowned at Rheims, where the preparatiens for that august cert., moray are already makiil4.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

All that we cm subtract from the reign of v i ce an d igee l ranee is SJ much giir.cd to the happii.ess of Ireland, and to the ewes: of geed government. There is a moral power of gravitation, which, if it could be brought into action, taicht by degoos tunic the Protestant and the Catholic in th e bunele of pore. At present they are placed at too glee; dentate. :rem each ether. by an epprossive policy, an d v unwise laws, to give any hope of such approximation wloj e tillse obstacles to good-telletrabip last. The present hoe:, !tat TCNANT has done more for the repote of Ireland than was ever effected by all the Viceroys, taken colleenvely, do t ever presided in the: country. But hebrought with Lim a t energy of wind and char.:cter, fitted to the task. To o principlee of his administretiou are pure and legitiore, and they have made their way, in spite alike of mated:Eel res:stance and of open faction. As the popular noel! to Ireland becomes disciplined by education, the Insb eb,. teeter, among the lower classes, will give forth its hoof o t . tributes, and viii enable us to appreciate it with merejecii e . At present they require to he better familiarised with the laws of civil order, and to keep their turbulent paad a n s t o due suljection. An enlightened Clergyman of their owe Chuicie whose eloquent diecourses breathe the spirit of genuine piety, has well inculcated this lessen cf Chtistaa ferbearar.ce. " The object of human laws," saes b e , eis the preservetion cf the public peace ; and aerefore the fiat brcaeli of that peace is what the law of the land seeks to (Ito:ever, al.ii what it deems especially deserving of Do . LiSIIMCM. It does not commend retributive vioi erce . t ut in toleration to human iefirmity, admittlue that a certain degree of perkeution may excuse it, the law visits on the first aggreesim those offences which is the general state of human passions ere so fr.queraly its latnenteble result. IVet see bow little encouraeement it gives to violence, wh e n !beanie orovocation which it admits to be a sufficient one, is tetwil "violence offered : fur words, in their most offeusire extent, the law does not consider as a jnatifieasien. See how little sanction it girds to outrage and malinuity, abet i it ie neits retributive force only at the instant; Lo ties must intervene for passion to cool, and reason and justtei to resume their control. From the moment when an ap. peal to judicial decision lies open, force becomes ctiinirol, i and he who then presumes to act on any suppos e d r i g h t o f retribution is ccesidered as a new aggessor. Every fair tribunal wctehl counu.raoce such appeal, in referetlet ti the individual's taking into his own hands the inhictiag of the punishment; for the mischiefs which result from mans assuming judgment in his own case, are what the Civil Law Las been enacted to remove. But i:s reach is limited; its prides is slow; its view is superficial; it punish, s what i: were to be wished it could have prevented ; it looks to overt acts t . it cannot invitee% the sources of ac :ion. The Gospel is a rule for the affections: it cceleter.s the crime in thought; it commands forgieccess of the i• ;try received; it commands the return of good for evil. 're titan, imperfect in underatatiling and prejudiced by ea love—to man, impassioned sod exasperated, it leavers not to deed cut his heaped-up measure of retribution. It belongs to eyes that spy into the secrets of the heart, to hands that hold the balance in undeviating exactness; it belongs to him 'these principles of justice are meat pure, and where loving mercy is equal towards all, to judge between the matures of his weft!, to decide, and to avenge. '• If a sufileieet number of schools are provided, and the manners ant morals of the rising generation arc framed aril roperintended by conscientious and weft-appointed teachers, Ireland, even in its werst districts, willsoon wear a different fur. The present systetn lif education abounds with null , cal, but not incurable defects. It requires to be hid anew, and upon another and a very difileent focedstien. It must not send forth its pupils into the world with their prejudices chained to their creed ; religion should be u a cord of sympathy round their hearts, instead of being made, as it is, a source of hatred and heart-burning. It education is conducted with the hones: view of Lettering their condition, and of cultivating without them those liberal feelings which alone snake a man's existence worth any thing to himself or to others; the benefit of such a course of discipline will be ismstimatle. But tench still . remains to be done on the part of Government, tensors,{ rescuing . the lower . orders from that state of indigerce, which, If it does not preclude instruction, makes all prcEt from it hopeless. It is a vain attempt to make men seher and honest who have no portion but filth and rags, and who can never keep poverty at arms* krogdo There has been a long reign of injustice in Ireland: put an end to that, give the Irish of every class reason to be geeteful, and you wid God little difficulty in elevating their minds by. education to the level of die kelings you inspire. • Sermons by the Ityr.
