They are chiefly filled with discussions on the proposed indemnity for the emigrants. M. DC CHATEAVIDIAND hie—published his second letter to a Peer of France, in which he refers, with exultation, to the declaration be made in 1619, that on: of thg most important measures olf a Royalist Administration would be, to provide a just indemnity for the families who lost their pro perty during the Revo%Son. The inviolability of the rights of property is ably and eloquently maintained by the Noble Viscount. " Neither absolute domi nion," says he, " nor any law, can render a Sovereign master of the property of his subjects, without a compen sation, if not previous, at least subsequent. Ile cannot give to one what belongs to another. Even at Constanti nople this transfer is not sanctioned. The religious law in that respect supplies what the civil law has neglected." The honour of originally pmposing the law of indemnity is &signed to Marshal M•enow•i.v, who, in December, 1814, in debating the project for restoring the unsold pro potty of the emigrants, asked whether " those voluntary exiles, whose sense of interest could not detach them from their duty, were still to be ininbled for having remained faithful to it r The Aridarepr states, that the merchants of Paris are about to petition the Government against the violation of confidence in the French Post-office, practised in the open ing of private lea. rs. We trust that ell A BLEs X. nay be Induced to number the abolition of this scandalous custom among the just and hem ftecnt acts of his reign. It is so in famous that we hope it has only to be pointed out to insure its abolition. According to the Moniker, FERDINAND VII. has con trived to get together the funds for the payment of the half year's interest t o n• next month on Guebhard's loan. It is candidly acknowl,dg.(l that this payment would hardly have been male if the Spanish Govtrnment had not consi dered it " as leading to further financial op-rations." Does the King of Sr a in Oki' seriously think that this sorry pay ment will induce anybody in this country to advance him more money while he refus:s even to acknowledge the debts that were, amongst other things, contracted to pay his household expenses wider the Constitutional system ? The evacuation of Spain seems to be no longer doubtful. All the preparatory steps are taken. The F.hoile, however, stoutly denies that the Infants intend to go abroad, though theOprosition Journals persist in affit ming it.

At the meeting of the Irish Roman Catholic Associati:" , on 'Wednesday last, an address to the people of Ireland, drawn up by Mr. ("Covxrii., was ordered to be printed. This address ft Tingly dissuades the lower classea of the Ca tholic population, from joining secret societies, or having re casino to any acts of illegal violence. The penalties of the law vs set before their cyts,and they are very truly told that an attempt to eW et a gvneral insurrection must be pro duct;ve ef great mischief and suffering to their country, and that, like all preceding rebellions, it must prove unstv.cess ful. The Catholic Association, therefore, deprecates Whitcboy•ism and outrage, as being not less ridiculous and absurd, than wicked and criminal. Vie have not the whole of this address in our possession. The I hiblin papers of Thursday, the last that have reached our office, state that they were not furnished with the remainder of the address M time for that day's paper. • As far as it is pulthshoel, Inc are disposed ao approve of the document, though we wish that in an address, the professed object of which W:IIS to ac sist in preserving public tranquillity and u-tier, the popu lace bad been less frequently and pointedly rentitaleq of their " grievances - and " oppressions, - and that sonic of the epithets applied to the Iblite . ;riocti bad been omitted.

We eetlf,-ss we are . 'led to distruat the efficacy of o:is method of restraining the violence of men by teach-' ing them that they are injured ,and oppressed, in order that a "base and bloody faction" may tyrannize over them. One, and pe.haps the chief object of this Adeirkss, is clear and palpable. The Catholics are, in effect, advised to withdraw their confidence from the K t NG 'a Government, and look for their salvation exclusively to the Catholic Association. The exertions of that body alone can lead to their deliverance from their worse than Egyptian bondage. It become then of importance accurately to ascertain what are the means by which the Association intends to accom plish the emancipation of those who furnish it with a re venue of 10001. weekly. Among the purposes to which the Catholic Rent is to be applied, we find one which scents peculiarly to deserve attention. It is the making known in Ellen el,and elsewhere, the grievances under which the Catholics labour. A correspondence has, we find, actu ally been opened with the Continent, and we have accord ingly men several inflammatory and calumnious articles respecting the Catholics, in the French Papers especially devoted to the Jesuitical interest. At a late meeting of the Association, the following letter was read by Mr. O . CONNILL, which seems of itself sufficiently to explain the views and intentions of the parties, both in the British dominions and elsewhere. " Faris, Hotel de Breyolle, SI, Roe de flrenelle, Faubourg " St. Germain, Saturday, Nov. 14, 1824. " Stn—Without doubt you will excuse the liberty I take in ad dressing you, when you arc made acquainted with tie subject of my letter. 1 have been impressed with the necessity of employing the foreign press in favour of the Catholic Eniammation. 1 observe from your speeches that you have entertained the same opinion, and from the conversations 1 have had with .Ir. Blount, the English Secretary, I find that his views on this head coincide with mine. The circumstances in which I am now placed are admirably calculated for carrying my plan into effect. lam inti mately acquainted with the chief proprietor of the Paris Paper oftenest quoted by the London Journals; this gentleman is ants nt in our cause, and I ant employed to translate for the Papa/ articles of interest that appeared in the English Papers. " I can obtain macro an for any thing I wish in at least four other Paris journals.-.I shall shortly be in regular communication with Josanalists in Madrid, Vienna. St. Petersburgh, and Rome. To all these plate,, as well as Lnuden, I am sending dcapa:clies free of expense ; and what is of still more importance, without the possibility of their being intercepted. 1 shall receive all English Journals fres of the heavy French postage. Now, Sir, in this awe of things I address myself to you, requesting your support, for without it little can be done. Unless lam in ►egular communi cation with you, or the Secretary of the Association, my efforts will be ermiparatively useless. " I should wish to be enabled to dedicate my whole time to the un dertaking; I have written to Mr. Blount upon the subject Tour frierd. 31r. Lyons, will tell you who I am. Allow me to observe, that I think it would be better, if the fact or the Catholics hut Mg as egret he Paris were cesseeakd ; the support of the foreign press would have more effect, if it were thought spontaneous. But of this you are the proper judge. " Requesting the favour of an early answer, I remain, Sir, " Your most obedient and humble servant, "11EORGE PARKER WI:R." This foreign agent of the Association, himself, con siders his services to be of such a character, that his mission should be kept secret. The question as to the Association thus assumes a new shape. That it has not hitherto vio lated the letter of the law, must, we believe, be admitted, but that its proceedings are accordant with the spirit of tl;e Constitution, we believe none but the Catholic leaders themselves can after this be found to allirm. The only legal objects of such an Association are the redress of individual grievances by the admiristration of the law, and the petitioning of Parliament for the redress of public grievances by the alteration of the law. All publications , not of a libellous haturc, which are deemed necessary for the attainment of the latter object, arc, of course, included in it. But what connection can the apl•ointment of a fireign agent have with either of these objects? What can the people at " Madrid, Vienna, S. Petershurgh, and Rome," have to do with the measures that affect the sub jects of the British Crown ? The desi;;n is te.o evidently to overawe and menace Parliament into acquiescence with ' the demands of the Catholics. A more audacious appeal to foreign aid was never made; it must be promptly met and crushed. If the Catholic Question were to be conceded the very next Session, the Association which hes appealed to foreigners shouts first be utterly suppressed. Whether the practice of pr, aching condemned sermons, as they are called, be wise or useful, we have no time, at present, to inquire: we certainly agree in opinion with our Correspondent in another part of our paper, that the making a public exhibition of the unhappy individuals in whose car the knell of their departed hour is so soon to toll, can have no good effect; and we think the sooner the custom is got rid of the better. But the tenor of the ser mon preached to Mr. Fa u I. emir, and at those who had petitioned the hive. for the commutation of his punish ment, deserves some remarks beyond those which are con nected with the custom itself. It is exposed, we think, ot e jections of very serious magnitude. We would draw attention, in the first place, to the danger of that lesson, now so common, which teaches that a savieg conversion may be effeeted in the last hours of life. If true repentance coosists in the turning front our evil ways, and the for king these h a rt courses to which we have been addicted; in nr.:cr to t.'sttfy it, we must—as the fwmata of our Church trachcs—" lead a new lifr," it seems a fatal error to snprse that this may be &tie just as effectually by those who are about to close their career of guilt on the scallbld, and arc within a sp.itle of the grave, as if they had testified their sinceri: y by tin ir moral reformation, and had actually lett Owl at w to v,hich the ri ward of !leaven is promisee!. I laving thrown out this: remark for the consideration of the mere ref:ective, we pass to other parts of this discourse, which we think call strongly for animadversion. Many are I of opil.ion that we inflict death with an unmerciful impa -1 tie:ice ; whether thin be so Cr 110% it sure ly made no part I of the Ordinary's duty, iu preaching this " condemned ger ; nom," to launch forth his insidious invectives against these al.. interceded to solioit the mercy of the Crown. A Chris tian Minister should he the lest p-reon to reprobate as " mistaken clamour" the f, recut exe:tions of humanity, ! :eel to attribute to " artful exeitement" the instinctive ctrorts of a pure and spordatitrins beuevolenee to save a soul :.nn death. Th. re was ntueli more, in a strain extremely ' ott;msive ::.d out of place, in this sermon, which we have net hisure to observe upon. But there was one piece of Wm.:ration whien was somewhat remarkable. •‘ The ," we were told, •• with that hunrnity and feelin e • s. iee eeliee!e their own, ei• cina e.od tl) OFE IN I): 111)t• !.S il 1141110 I' a I' 1 , 1:1). " Now in this th:re wa , l not a word of tre.h. ‘Vhat has genuine devoCum mot, over, to do with these sera of topics? We will not press the subject further, hering that the Rev. Mr. Ct. t 1 o w:d dis..hatre his soi •itual fonetions :a future with more caution. and deliver his IIIiSCO:MICUUS opinions f.t.na the ptt! , ,:it e:reunispection. The public, as was very natural, had expected that the aftrr the uttansw..red, and unanswerable, refuta tion efits Lila, and mat:Nide:lt charges against Mr. I'norr t.►.tos, put forth in the shape of prim!: would have ingenuously retracted its calumnious statements, and thus have oiler:-1 tlie best antidote in its power to the ; poison it Ed H.lastrioudy circt•.latec!. When, behold ! to the utter torpr;..t: of its readers, in its columns of Saar- THE BRITISH PRESS. day, appears the fo!lowing snort extraordinary paragraph, addressed, with becoming manliness and modesty, to all whom it way concern:— "We arc not anxious to extend the nurative of Mr. Faunderoy's life by a description of Li► personal habits ; but if provoked we can lay before the public such a detail of low and disgua•.ing sensu ality, as would, if not completely authenticated, appear incredible to those who were not as degraded in mind and deed as he was. This narrative would involve several peraons who hold themselves ruttier high, and who have preshometi to talk big, with reference to our accounts of their wee:chest friend and associate. bet them be quiet : if we find that either in public or pri►ate (and we have channels of information which they dream not of ), they have the impudence to disparage our motives, or deny our statements, we will hold up their names and actions to public scorn, and astonish. ment, and disgust." Well, truly. this is a curious movement ! A most shameful and scandalous attack is made upon an indivi dual, while in the hands of justice ; a time when, of all others, every man, whether guilty or not guilty of the crime charged against him, ought to be safe front the stab of slander : and when the public outcry of shame! shame! is raised against it, the slanderer, instead of expressing the slightest contrition, turns abort round, and exclaims— " Mind what you're about ;—take care, you that bold your selves rather high—beware, all you who have presunted I to talk bid; we will republish our libel, enriched with annntatinns ; in which we will consign to infamy any one who shall dare to question our veracity. Bs QUIST ; for !! we find that either in PUBLIC or in PRIVATE you hare Me IN runt: nc e to disparage oar motives, we will blacken your characters with the same die, and defame you with the same anonymous slander which we poured so profusely upon Mr. F *Er NTLEROY ; dare but to come forward again and deny ou► statements, and we will hold up your names and artions to public SCORN, and •aroxuxrsar, and DISGUST! ! !" Really the daily press will become a national bless ing of inestimable magnitude if the public voice is to be silenced by menaces like this I Nothing imaginable can be ceder than for the mis-leading Journal of Europe to punish the impudence of any of his Majesty's subjects that shall dare, on any future occasion, to disparage its motives or deny its statements! This language of threatenirg is new to the ear of Eantisiis tar ! We had been accustomed to believe that the press was free, and that aspersions on any man's character, if false, might be declared and proved so to be. We hope this sort of edict, issued from Printing-house-square, will not be followed up in the way of precedent by other Journals ; fa if it is, the terror of Popery will he a fool to it. There is not, however, much ;,round for alarm ; the menace itself is so stupidly arrogant, and there is something so sanity about it, that those whom its solemn forewarning is meant to in timidate wil! feel their blood unchilled. Let the Times but put Tile li•Mi Or TIM WRITIER to any narrative it can lay hefire Me public, and it may carry its blustering threat into execution whenever it pleases. Among our advertisements this morning will be found the prospectus of one of those great public undertakings which peculiarly belong to the enterprising spirit and im mense wealth of this country. We allude to the plan for making a rail-road between Liverpool and Manchester. By this means the transit of merchandise between those towns, a distance of 33 miles, will he ef•cted in four or five hours, and the charge reduced to about one-third. This great saving in time and money. and consequent benefit to the manufacturing interest, will not, however, we understand, be inffered to be carried ints effect without opposition. The proprietors of the two canals by which goods are now con-' veyed between Manchester and Liverpool, at an exorbitant and latterly highly-increased ►ate, affect to consider the pro pesed improvement such an invasion of their interests as Parliament ought to prevent. At the very first statement, this pretence appears so monstmus, that one is disposed to turn from it with astonishment and incredulity. On the same principle every public improvement ought to be pre vented. The inventor of every useful machine, in propor tion to its utility, throws out of employment the work men and capitalists engaged in following the old system. But of all the districts in England, surely so absurd an attempt must be most hopeless in Lancashire, the county in which the value and importance of machinery are better felt and understood than in any other part of the world. The canal proprietors themselves have shared, and largely shared, in the advantages resulting from improved and improving machinery ; and unless they are prepared, for the sake of consistency, to fill up their own canals, and require the cotton merchants of Lancashire to send all their bales by broad-wheeled waggons, or stage coaches, as before the canals Wt Te dug, we know not why rail-roads may not at this time of day snpersede canals, as they riper seded the dilatory and expensive modes previously used. But the canal proprietors la eil nut be alarmed that they arc about to lose a 3 their business. t`oute will still remain to them, when the rail-reads are in fell activity. They will enjoy the monopoly of conveying all cumbrous warts; and while trade is free and conirtiiion of all sorts encouraged its all other branches of commerce, we see no reason why it I should be checked or cramped in respect to internal carry ing. How litany .ailing vessels have been supers.•ded by swain boats? Vet we have not heard that the owners of the former ever contemplated an appeal to Parliament to put down swam navigation ; and we are sure, that if they had made one, it would have been scouted with universal contempt and indignation.

COBURG THEATRE. The performances at the Coburg Theatre during the past week, have been more than usually excellent and interest ing. The manager has not only displayed good taste in the selection of his dramas, but he has hupport,d them ail c many by two important additions to his corps dramatigne. Mthsrs. Rowbothain and H. Kemble, who ate quite as well known, and as duly appreciated, on the Surrey side of the water, as Misers. Young and Macready on the other, now divide the attentien of the Coburg play-goers with the favourites of the Mesirs. Cobham and lien gough. Xliss Watson remains in full power and popula rity as the Traeic Queen; Mr. Bradley confining to fence• like a hero and look a villain; and Mr. Davidge is still the unrivalled lord of all that is comic. We may, there fore, naturally t xp, et, that as 'he labourers are many, the hare, st will lie abundant ; slid we have only to express a hope, that, if the manager (lee:, it now necessary to te-uc the usual quantity of puff, lie will ray a little more atten tion to " the hing's English." The performance of Sa turday evening commence el with a tragic drama (" of a singular domeetie nature," says the playbill,) altered from Lillo's tragedy of Arden. or Eoversioin. In Ifollintheinrs Chronicles may be found a statement of the facts of the occurrence on which this prt duction is founded. In the reign of King Edward the Sixth, Arden, a gentlemen of Favershatn, in Kent, was assassinated in his own house, while engaged in a game of draughts with a treacherous friend, who suborned two rufliates, named Mark Will and Sluttehag, to the performance of the salt guinary deed. The tale is still told in Faversham, los e Mg none of its intense interest from the time elapsed since it happened ; a part of Al-ilex's house is standing to this day, and the curious may be shown the very apartment in which the act was committed ; the Abbey wall still re mains, amid the low-arched entrance may be seen, with the aspect of a black memorial of a tale of other times. The principals, with the abettors in the crime, were shortly after executed. The poet has made the wife of Ardea a party to the murder, and from these ma terials an interesting drama has been wrought. Mr. Cobhatn sustained the part of Arden with censiderable ability ; and he was well supported by Messrs. Bengough and Rowbotham, who represented Afo.shy and Green, the other gentlemen of Faversham. Miss IVatson was the heroine of the piece, Alicia, the guilty wife of Arden, and her acting in the part was excellent. Mr. 11. ramble was one of the two ruffians, and Mr. Bradley was the oilier ; the former dots not appear to have lost any of his popu larity in the transplanting from the Surrey to the Coburg. The tragic drama was followed by a" laughable hurletta," callt d The 3fotrul and the Cobh r, or Sailors in the Air, and the performance was cmitl.ided by a grand romantic melo drama, denominated The Rork if Arpennnz, or The Dumb Brother. The three pieces are to he repeated during the ensuing week, and we have no doubt they will again gave the satisfaction they certa'nly have given. Sir Charles Bacot has k!t his house in Cumberland street, to proceed on his embassy to the King of the Ne thr►lands.

The columns of our papt.r serve every week to convey an idea of the very CKtcll,ive transference of property, which is taking place in this county, particularly in the West Riding. And such is the spirit of cnter:trise in Leeds, that as much land has been recently sold tOr building pur poses, in the immediate neighbourhood, as would firm another town nearly as large as that we at pre iii inhabit. Last Satuitlav, .SO,OOO yards of building ground, the proptrty of ,loin Wilson, Esq. on the south bank of the Aire, war the Buckram-house, was bought by Mr. JoFeph t;reen. tro the morning of the rune day, 2n,otin yards of land, situate between Camp-road and Sheepsear lime, were sold at a priel! which it is said rtaliz.il to the tiwtwr. on a pmell7,Se made only a few years ago, ti.yoof.
