The IlittiOn was of a sudden deprived of 1411 exterior exercise of its religiciii ; the altars were despoiled of their ornaments ; mass was celebrated with shut doors, turd none but the Priests were admitted to that holy instittiticii; the dead, instead of being interred in coosecruted ground, were thrown into ditches, or buried ii, the cuintnon fields; marriage was solemnised in the chinch-yards ; soil every circumstance carried symptoms of the deepest distress, and of the most immediate appteii• osion of Divine vingeauce."— Such were the thiiiiderii of the %%dices, mid suet; their terrors iii the ilark,r ages. We fair that they hare long since shot their tires, and ire no longer effective. The greater port or coatinentiii Europa: is however still Roman Catholic, and if our Ministers think thin religion can Le as well etoptuyetl abiosil as at home, for publics, purposes, we have pt-rhaini to lament, we do at hinne, that the tucaus of re sistance to lioske tiers ore out directed by abler beads, and wielded by abler hinds. We noticed, yesterday, that Lerd CASTLEREAGH in his note to the LORD MATOR, stated the total nunalser or British treops, killed, wounded and mis sing., in the siege of Flushing, from the Bth, to the 15th, at 1'.0.-1•r our &men utions, yesterday, stat ing that the loss was greater, we did nut mean to deny the 'accuracy of his Lordship, as his relearn embraced etily his own .lepartmerit, and a ceutse coliti•iiied only • return of the army. The loss in the miry anionet-il to 66 killed sail grounded in the sante interval, making a total of 164 i. Under all the eircmit-tmees of the case, this loss is compara tively trivial, and if the Isle of Welchem can be re tained, we have perhaps no reason to complain. With respect to the ulterior of jects of the Experli bon, we fear that the long delay at Flushing, hat rendered them impracticable, so far us they lie in the Scheldt. "They jest at scars who never felt a wound;" and we cannot, therefore, be surprised, that the Treasury Journals should, "end yore," send the Expedition up that river, without one moment's delay, to take Antwerp, and destroy the squad, roil under Rear-Admiral Mitsui sit, stationed off and above that town. They add, for eneourrege ntent, that the enemy's force there is inconsider able ; bat we cannot credit their staterneut. Ac cording to the accounts in the PRA* papers to the toth inst. troops had been marching from'all quarters to the Scheldt, from the moment it was first suspected that our Expedition wits ukstined for that point. Lord VaLpoLE returned, on Sunday, to town, from a tour upon the Continent of Burepc. Re port states, that his Lordship has brought the im portant intelligence to Government that tile Aus trians have hero forced by the exurhitant deinauds of BONAPARTE, to put an end to the Armistice and renew hostilities. It is uow stated, us an ascertained fact, that at the battle of Aspen' the French arn inunitiou was totally ealiaatted, and that if the racers* obtaineal by the Austrians on that. day had been followed up nub enercy, the victory must have been complete, and have reduced the enemy to thr!. last extremity. Frioce JOHN of LICHTENSTEIN, who saw matters in this light, offered to pass the Danube with thirty thousand inen, and cut oil BONAPARTE from Vienna; but the Archduke CHARLEY unfortunately yielded to the bilge and corrupt representations made to him of the French streugh, mid this offer was re jected. The wisdom of thieadvice has been since generally felt and acknowledged, and the error lead excited considerably dUcuntent in the Austrian artny.—The Archilue CHARLES, it is said, has in conserpteir:e thereof given up the command to Prince Joni of I.ltaireasi elm, under whose auspices the Imperial Douse of Aurrnta is yet to at mule fur cite. Lord WALPOLE states, that the French 'army is iii the most deplor able state for every nee, ssury ; and that though a most fuvouirgble opport unity airs lost, there are yet grounds for hope that die Atisttians may make a powerful stand.—Ruch, we iincler-tand, is the sub stance oldie account brought by Lord t.Varrora. Of hie Lordship's amerces of intelligence we are not competent to judge. There is certainly nothing in the foreign prints inconsistent alai his statement ; for although they speak of continued negociations, they give no facts which favour the idea that peace will be t . peetitly concluded. During the last tweiity years, a period of almost uninterrupted war, ur revolutionary anarchy and cuilimotrun, we du nut recuilect any moment when such unusual obscurity overhung the Continent, as at the present time.
