A;mtvil Election of Common Councilmen, and subordinate officers, in the several IVards of the city of Loudon, commenced yesterday. It 'News the great height to which the spirit of party ha.. arisen. There is scarcely a Ward that is not tested. Three Gottettburgh mails, with letters cal pa pers from that city, to the 12th, were received yetiter ' day ; and, at the same time, German papers to the loth. The King of SWEDEN has had a second at tack of ripol.lexy, lint he is represented in a state of convalescence. In the event of his demise, it is thought the Prince of A cr.:usTENSURG will decline • the succession to the Swedish throne. The limited power of the Executive is the ostensible cause fur his refits:Ll ; bat it is inure probable, that, if aucli be his determination, he hos been led to it by the reduced and uncertain state of the country.— The deposed King, GUSTAVDS, was, in the be ginning of the mouth, tin his way to Catlicronss where he was to embark fur the Continent, fo► Baden, which is assigned as his future place of residence. The illness of Ilia present MAJESTY appears to have accelerated the departure of IG us- TAVCIII. fears being entertained, that, if the throne became vacant, his partisans might make an at tempt to restore I . The Queen of SWEDEN, and the Grand Duchess of BADE N. are sisters. It is, probably. from this circumstance, that Baden has beets chosen for the asylum of this uufurtuoate King. Peace has been concluded between Denmark and Sweden, and also between Sweden and France, upon nearly the name terms as the peace between Sweden and Russia. In all these, Sweden reserves to herself the right of itup rrti g colonial produce. The pewee with Austria• has been also announced to his subjects by the Emperor of Itussibt, in a Pro elaination, highly approving its conditions. Among these, the joy expressed at the portion of territory assigned to him in Poland, would lathier its to sup pose, that the report of its having been the born nun of BONAPAITS to re-establish that kmgdam„ was not an idle rumour. The German papers contain some farther ac counts of the obstinate spirit and perseverance of the gallant Tyrolean', in their present des perate struggle for liberty and independence. —They also contain some articles, from which, we fear, that the Ottoman Empire is ►apittly ap p►oachiug its dissolution. Following up the threat in Bo* AAAAA L'S speech to his' Legisla tive Body, a hint at a campaign in Greece is art fully thrown out, in a supposed speech of a soldier of the French guards, in returning from Germany, which says, BONAPANTE will go and gg protect the 1 Turkish Empire," by conquering it, or engaging it to submit to dictatioa aad dismemberment. We have observed, with great !satisfaction, the election of Lord Grenville to the situation of Chan cellor of the University of Oxford. Without en teriiig into any invidious comparison between his Lordship and the other candidates upon this occa sion, we rejoice that one so gleaLly distinguished iu the political world has been nomittateii by that respectable body to the highest dignity is its gift. But the satisfaction which wederive from this event, is not merely in consequence of the honour reflected upon his. Lordship, we also take into our account the proof which it affords to the Trienils . of religious liberty, that their cause is making * sure and per ceptible advance, rind that the trio mph of reason and propriety, over folly, Ingotry„ and indiscretion, is neither so incredible, nor so remote, as some per sons would represent it. The attachment of his Lordship to the Catholic case is well-known, and the strictness of his adherence to those principles which be considers of vital importance to the na tion and to the constitution, affords a sufficient se curity against his desertion of that cause in any circumstances. He did not abandon it under the 'displeasure of authoriy, sad he will cot forget it in the elation of success, The act of his election, therefore, with this certain conviction upon the minds of his electors, Mitt his sentiments upon that leading question were favourable to the Catholics, attains:o stilltentains4, recei yes s greater importance, and admits a more extensive rang. of iliferesces and dednetions, than would otherwise belong to it. We do not mean to ascribe to the Oxouiaus a di rect advocacy of the Catholic Cause, but we submit, whether it is a forced construction of the principle of this election to say, that a body, thu least chargeai.de with an inuovisting or revolutionary spi , rit, has established upon its authority, that no per severance in the muss . of Catholic Emancipation, however streations, should fora an ohstruc•ioo to tire preferment of any, individual, otherwise qua ' biked. Unelloubteilly, if the University of Ox ford considered the pass Sing of this measure as in any degree incousistcht with the seelark of, Cnuech and State, they never could rectiocile to their - Consciences the election of Lord Greeville; that Nobleman has long imosted upon the neces sity of unanimity, and contended for the propriety of enlisting the universal Irish nation." Upou the terms of equal privileges, his efforts have, con sequently, been directed to separate political &ea bility fro n religious di-unction, and thus to en danger the security of Church and State; if Col leges, in their wisdom, will determine that con ciliation is dew... sue. It is curious to observe, and no less curious than gratifying, that an elec tion of this description should follow, at so abort an interval, the 2VmPopersr AfildreSs; it would seem as if the good genius of the University was anxious to restore its character, and provided that we should have an opportunity of praising ;t, in the same breath in which it was condemned ; or it would seem as if that genius, which watches over mankind in general, ordained that sentiments, so contrary to their rea son and interest, should find a practical refu tation in the conduct of those who would dig- geminate them. Whatever was the cause, the effect has been auspicious ; how much more con souant with that enlightened character, which it 'should have been always its boast to maintain, has been its conduct upon the present occasion, than upou that to which we have alluded ? In the pre sent instance, it has sheen a superiority to narrow prejudices; iii the former, it did riot merely give way to reigning absurdities, but endeavoured to revive such absurdities as hod been exploded, and to re establish opiiiions, long disused amongst mankind, by a difficult and laborious cultivation. When, therefore, the people of the waited kingdom observe, that those who have been loudest ii the no Popery yell, evince, by their actions, by their very pilfer erica and selections, how little they are apprehen sive, from the success of that measure—surely they will feel themselves justified, under such a sauction, ha trying the experiment of liberality, and ascer taining, with the conviction that it cannot do harm, whether it may lint do good. Surely nu Corporation will consider the example of the University of Oxford dangerous. No Corpora tion will consider the adoption of a principle. authorised by its practice, as leading to the dissoltiziou of established systems, and the ruin of ancient institutions; let them adopt it, there fore ; let them select fur. their Representatives the able and the disinterested, and the cause of the Catholic, which is now become an essential in the national.defelice, will obtain, from intellect and ho nesty, what was denied to it by knavery mid lure tuition. Yes ; offensive as it may appear to some Gentlemen in the City, the present is an turfy! cri sis; and the full and co.nplete emancipation of the Catholics of Ireland, is the only ineacure strong and vigorous enough to meet it. Give the Catholic his claims ; release him from these exemptions that sink his political importance, and impair his con stitutional attachment ; make him what he requ'res to be, and what he will never he satisfied until he is heroine, your equal ; and then you will have pro ceeded in the right way to Make him your friend : tell him, that your privileges are his privileges ; that your constitution is his constitution; and then lie will understand you, when you assure him that yqur duty is his duty : give am equal stake in the liberties of the country, and you will find his affections as warm, his arm as strong, and his reso lution as iusurniousitable, as your own. aDo this, () England ! and defy your enemies.—Neglect and tremble even at time appearance of those who ought tb be, and would be,your friends! , • Mr. COLBOURN F.
