Count SANTI arrived cn► Friday last at Copen, hagen from Stockholm ; his mission is suppwed to relate to more than mere military events. It is supposed that Russia has declared Poland independent, and the Duke of OLDENBURG their King, which, it is said, gives great satisfaction. CiOTTENBUIAGII, JAN. General SARRAZIN returns to England by this packet (Lady Frances) very much dissatisfied with the treatment he has experienced in this country. He sailed from here some time ago for Copenhagen ; but not being able to obtain any satisfactory answer, to his application, to the Danish .Government for protection, and having .been .alsured by the Danish Consul there, that whatever might be the wish of his Govern ment, they would be compelled to send hien under arrest to Haniburgh if, demanded, be did not deem it prudent to land, PETERSBIIRGII, DEC. 29.—N0 En!lain or news since the Emperor left this capital. .This,day we have received the melancholy intelligence of the decease of the Prince of OLDS BURG, husband of the Grand Duchess CATHERINE, at Twer, to the great grief of the Imperial Family, and public at lame. WattsAw, Pr.c. 18.—All the accounts received from the seat of war bring confirmation of the Russian armies finding the same impediments from material causes, to their progress as caused the retreat of the French army front the interior of Russia;and rendered it so di flicult. Th e latter oc cupies =reconcentrated cantonments in a plentiful part of the country, and without being much 'dis. turbed by the enemy. The foll,,iwing were the last positions ;,--Wilna and the whole of the right 44 of the Niemen were evacuated; the head , quarters of the king of. Naples were on this side the Niemen, near XoWna ; the left wing, under 111Ac0`02441,D, at Tilsit ; the head-quarters of the corps &armee, under command of the Field. Marshal Prince Von SWAIIUNBEEIG, was on the 12th This Field-Marshal fell back to Rosso, as did the 7th army corps to Swasloes.---0 No new battle had taken place with this army. The head-quarters of Field Marshal Prince Ku. Ttisow , were, according to the latest accounts re ceived here, still on the Duciper on the 25th No vember. The loss of cavalry horses in the Russian arm y appears to be nearly equal to that sustained by the French. None but Cossack horSei, which are necusto , ned to he in the open air in all changes of the weather and season, and to find their food under the deepest snow, can hold out in such campaigns as the present. The cold here is un exampled for the month. it continues nearly al- Nray'S between 12 and IS degrees. , Most of the deplomatie personages that: have hitherto been at Wjlna, are now in our city. 8i1111.41 , r, JAN.

Por this purpose, the Baron Von LEYKAM arrived here some time ago in quality of an Ambassador Extraordinary, and appointed Mini ter frum the Grand Dual of Hest e ? and, has bad time honour of pmenting his credentials to his Majesty at an audience for that purpose, and on the other hand, our Ambassador Extraordinary, and appointed Minister at the Grand Ducal Court of Frankfort, Mt.

The Gentlemen deputed from the principal ma nufacturing and commercial towns of,the United Kingdom, to oppose the renewal of the commer cial monopoly of the East India , Company, have commenced their meetings in Pal: nail, and have appointed the 3laynr of Bristol their Chairman, and the late Mayor of ILI their Deputy. Chair" man. tORNWALL GIOUNTY MEETING. Oa Wednesday last was held at the Assize BOCtillin, a meeting of the Freeholders of the )tufty of Cornwall ; to consider of a reti= flan to both Houses of Parliament against au un qualified concession to the claims of the Itomun (:)Ithotics.' The High Sheriff (if the county, jotirt Ilsq. of Pencalenick, Laving taken the chair, explained to the meeting, that a etindder ,, able number of persogs were Withdut the Hall, who could•not get admittance., and that he ed to have the sense of the Freeholders present on the propriety of adjourning the meeting' . to another place. Mr. CHARLES RASHLEIGN begged leave to ad dress. the Sheriff, in order to state, that on his Way to attend the meeting, he had overtaken captain of a mine, named'ltobert Hancock, ac comaFnied by a hotly of miners, who:told him that they had been ordered to attend the County Meeting by his nephew, Mr. John Colman Rash leigh, who bad informed them, "that the, bad a right to attend and vote there as \veil as the Free nolders. As the meeting was convened of Free holders, he contended, that these .persons, not being Freeholders, bad no right to attend. Mr. Joitx bot,r4AN conceiving that a County Meeting embraced every descrip tion of ~ axed inhabitants, he had publicly said, in church-yard, that every taxed inha bitant inid.tt right to attend ; and if this princi ple was not admitted by the Sheriff, he should protest against all the proceedings of the `present meeting. Mr. Colman Rashleigh next proposed that the 'meeting do adjoinn to the open ; asserting,that many hundreds of persons were on the outside of the Hail, who could not pos sibly.get into vote on the occasion. The motion fOr adjournment was strenuously . opposed by Mr. GREGOA, Mr. Rose PRICT, (Hid others, who contended, that as there were many persons present who were not Freeholders, they should oppose„ any adjournment to the open air, where the majority of persons, ,not• Freeholders; would decidedly predominate. Mm„ B. faava•stort vehemently protested against the meeting, and all its procethigs. _Here the noise and clamour became very great. Order being a little restored, the High Sheriff ex pressed his regret at• time clamour which 'was ma nifested, and stated, that as he was satisfied that the present meeting Was a meeting of Freehold ers only, he was ready to take the sense of the FreehoWers present as to the motion of adjourn ment. • Mr. J. COLMAIi RAiIfLEIGH again warmly pro tested against the proceedings of 'the meeting and even asserted, that the Sheriff had 119 autho rity to take the. Chair on-the present ovcasion, but that his presiding over the meeting was 'a mere matter of courtesy on the part of the persons as sembled: His uncle, Charles 11.ashleigh, had stated, that he had brought People there to make a riot. The HIGH SuEnpu, in reply, observed, thut ha considered his presiding over the present Meet ing of Preeholders, was by right, as Sheriff of the County of Cornwall. . • Mr. 3ortpt VivtAN, of Truro, said, that the Sheriff had told him, at the door of the Assize Hall, that he. would instantly adjourn the Meet ing to the open air ; he was sorry to had that the Shisriff came. into that Hall to be shackled in his conduct. The fivin S.nrin - trt ,. denied IC; he came into that Hall perfectly independent. At. length the motion for adjournment was put, and negatived. A Petition against the Catholic Claims was then moved, and agreed to by a majority Thanks wert then voted to the Sheriff, and the Meeting dispersed. • As soon as the Sheriff determined to take the sense of the persons in the HaU on the question of • adjournment, the Gentlemen who meant to op pose the Petition in its present form, withdrew, in order to draw up and 'sign a Protest against the proceedings. Not a word was said on the prin-; Nile of, the PetitiOn ; and as it Was known that the principal persons Oh each side were prepared to speak on' the subject, those assembled were greatly disappointed. Thus ended ti►fs extraordinary Meeting. The uproar continued for about two bolus. The following may be considered as sin exact estimate of what is called the. Roman Catholic system of Worship devised by the Priests for the purpose of obtaining a dmnineering influence over the pi (Tellies, persons, lives, and consciences of ihe . people ; and lest they shohlt; lose (kir bold upon t , em - after death, they have invented a place called Purgatory. W A s E ANI) UN WASHED Feter.s.---4A Protestant was asked by . a Papist where was his 12.eligion be fore the Reformation, and %yak' thus answered by the Protest..n t t, " Where was your fam e thi s morning before it was waihed ?"

The following is an extract froth an excellent pvot•k entitled, - . THE CLAIMS of VIE ROMAN CA , THOLiCS CoNiIDERED, WITH REFERENCE TO VIE SAFETY OF TUE ESTABLISHED CHURCH, AND TII,S RIGHTS or RELIGIOUS TOLERATION." (Continued 11 - 014,0er Paper of Sat irstlity.) " But such a claim, on the part of a foreign potentate, is inexpressibly more formidable, as that potentate s is beyond the reach of controul. -To entrust power in the hands of those who ae knowledge such a supremacy, is, in effect ) to en trust it to the person possessing that , supremacy; and that person, it is well known, considers the religion of a Protestant state as heretical, and time reelesiastieal authoritrof the Sovereign of sues a state, as an usurpation, " This 'distinction between Roman Catholics and Protestant DisSenters, with regard to the den, ger of entrweting thena respectively with POWel:fr : is dolefully pre.ierved in the legislative provisi )71s . by which their sever a l i n aa pac i t i es are crc.ted.--, Thegeneralobject of those provisions is to require. from atl persons admitted to.situatioos of pubUc trust and authority, 'sufficient proof of th it beint \veil affected to thy existing constitutiOn. Nothiog, surely can he'inore reasonable than such s leet ; nothing more obviously celculnted---nothing more essentially necessary—to maintain, in peace nod safety, the established order of things. Bat the Constitution- consists of. two parts :—Church and The tests required are, accordingly, two-fold. The chief object of solicitude, however, seems to have been to gunrd against disaffection to the ecclesiastical part of the Constitution ; as if, in the contemplation of the legislature, the security of the Church would he. the most effeettial provi sion for that of the State.,; " By .the 13 Car. 11. c. 1, and the 25 Car, 11. 'stat. 2. (commonly called the Corporati - ou end Test :Acts), the taking of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, according to the rites of the Church of England, is made the test of affection to that Church; while the oath of allegiance affords a like security to the state, by prescribing an en gagement cif fidelity to the person of the Sovereign, as designated b the law of succession. But the King is head of the church, as well, as of the. state ; and it is incompatible with the supreme authority, vestedin him in that diameter, for any of his subjects tg acknowledge a foreign suprema cy, eeelesisstical or spiritual. Such 4 suprenin cy, however, is claimed by the Church of Rome, and recognized by rill its Members. Therefor e , both the Corporation and Test Acts, besides an. oath of allegiance, prescribe also aim oa",h of so- . premacy, contaioing an,express disclaimer of all foreign power, jurisdiction, superiority, pre-emi neuce, and authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. Such ore the grand bulwarks of the 'Coostitutiou in Church and State i—bul- ADrtrki which, in the nature of things, are esseri, tilt' to the security.. of those etitablibinnents. But :he two Acts by which these. bulwarks are prO vided,. were respectively passed at peeiods of our history, which, though not very distent ft each other, were marked by dangeiti ofa very ilitiervitt description, requiring different kinds of preeeid- ! "At tlie period of the Corporation Act, it m t s fresh in the recollection of ever) ono, that the successful . endeavours of the Protestant Dissen ters to get pci.ssession of the Corporations, had very materially contributed to produce the grand. rebellion, To remove persoint of; that dcscr:ption from inch situoion, and to prevent them troth ever returning thither, were the pritnary, thougn not the sole, objects of that Act which, there fore, hegities the, oaths of allegntrice and supre triacy-7—(the latter being evicitntly designed to ex clude the Roman Catholies,) and the sacramental (which equally excluded all dissenters,) re. all members of emporatinns to take an oath, that they believe it is not lawful to take itrms against the King, &c. and to subscribe a declaration against the solemn league and cove naut.
