We explained for yon the impiety of the oath which connected Ihein together; and the clergy In their reopen'' , lowishes hive not ceased to labour with us in this sacred it:iiy; yet see will not address you in the language of re- ' Masada—we will not, above all, rebuke you, dearly beloved, for the obstinacy and perverseness of a fess sesongst you ; hut • ei the object of our ministry is 'not to destroy halo "gee, nil to cell the just but stenersto repentance; we will once again admonish even those few. however perverse, hoping, through the 61811.41er of the Holy Spirit, dearth., Will at. tend even now, to owe instruction., and be at leigth eon stetted f,om their evil ways. " The principles of one religion, dearest Brethren, on the subject of our civil duties, are dear and explicit; and the sin ctrine of our chinch re/peeling them has..been the same in all nation., and at all times. Orrin in his lifetime paid `Ni trite to Ilse State, and caused Peter, the first df his Apostle', and the Representative of his Church, to do the same. The Jewry, mintiest whom he lived, and of whole rice he was horn, hail lost their independence, and were then a conquered ;maple, subject to the Romans. Geese was their King, and to C.lnse, though a Pagan, and the conqueror of bin country, lie declared that tribute should be paid. He who could, as he (bid his disciples, obtain flan his Father legions of Angels to defend him, dimmed his 'Motto'', cored the wound he tied ▪ Sided, sod differed himself to be conduced like a criminal to The 'Whoa.' of Pilate, whose poster, be declared, was ifirtea km "tram shave. He teener belied his own Panties, ' that his kingdom was not of this world;' sod ' he under. west the cross-despising shame,' that he might' be obedient even unto death,' out only to the will of his Father;but also to the laws of his country, however unjustly administered In his regard. " Peter, whom he made the depositary of his doctrine and power, followed his example. When penetrated in one city he fled to soother; but never spoke the language of resist. once; nay, be sald to those, who through his ministry be. heved le Christ, ' he you subject to every human creature for God's sake, whether it be to the King an excelling, or to 'llleGovereors as sent by him for the punishment of evil deers, foe)o ie the will of God.'-1 Peter, c ii. ver. 'Ala erns, 1 Fear God, honour 'the King.' He unites these Soo obligations, because one casette subsist whitest the other; for, If the King, or be who bears the anted, be the "'Minister of God, as avenger to exenittrarodb - upou. him who 40th evil,' bow east' Cane feared or served, if his Minister 'f/fidlowbesed? St.'Peter, in this passage, only declared the &Mine which he beard his Master teach, and had seen keg sractiae. St. Pawl also published the sense to all the anthem whoa he converted to the faith. " It was this great Apostle, who lived is the time of Nero, a Pagan, and the most bitter persecutor of the church, who, writing to his beloved disciple, Timothy, prescribed that form of prayer whine we all recite as often as we assist at Iffess--offeriee it spin his words, 'for the King and all that e in high station, that we may lead • Tart and holy life. But the Apostle does not stop here : in his Epistle to the Rumpus, chap. 13, lie inculcates, in • epeeist roamer, the broad principks of obedience to the Smite, and with so mutts cieansess sad energy, that I cannot forbear tionveribieg the nit me peerage- 1 Let every sold; be says, '"be subject to higher powers, for there is no adorer bet from God, and those that are, are ordalsred of `God I therefore, he hilt reeistetb the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that re. goo, purchase to themselves damnation; for rulers are not • terror to the good wink, but to the evU—lfthose du that which is evil, fees; for he karat, nut the sword Is vain, for he 4 the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon hint that darn evil ; wherefore, by subject of uneasily, uu - only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

" On these authorities, and sock as these, the doctrine of she Catholic Church is founded,raad though revolot loos have happened is divers nations prufereing her faith, she has al. wity•slishorred them, when effected by force,or violence, or No *Gooiest of blood.

'For bow can isiquity !hide 'with justice—light with datkoessor atrial with Belie!? It was by meets's', tromility, patience, suffering, and enbelanded 'charity, that Christ, 'the author sad lubber of oar fal2b,"Toonded his religion; by these sod Ouch like virtues, it was propagated by his followers to the tad of the earth.

Dues the svelte for her 'apparel the aid of • those who neglect all her duties, disobey and despise her pastors; who violate all her commands, and indulge in her name all the vice. which she condemns? Does sot your Catechism teach you that the most essential part of your •religios consists of the two great precepts of charity—' To lots God above all things, and your neighbour as yoarseli, for dictum of Gods' and again, that by the word, • ortish 'boor' is signified all mankind of every description, even thus who differ from you la religton? But you say you 'ate the true religiou s sod Meet, 1 suppose, you consider yourselves entitled to bate these who direr from you. Strew me yelor works,' says an Apostle, 'sad from these I will tell 'your faith.' Arid again, ' Faith without works is dead' say, if you had faith, so as to 'remove mouotains, but bad OM 'charity, it would avail you nothing, fur that faith only can "sake you acceptable to God, • which woadh by charity s' sad so person. whatever his faith may be, can eider into life unless be keeps that lest and greatest of the Command •mentr, which obliges' him to love his neighbour as himself, whatever the religioo of that neighbour may be.

'2 Cor. chap. 1. Why area is all your zeal directed "gallon one vice, while you indulge freely I. the other"? Yna are intolerant and uncharitable, Brethren, no this head; but it is not your religion, but your prejudices sodpasions that render you so. -" It is not every one who differs from you in religion who should be branded with the odious same of ' Heretic.' Er. roes in religion do uot constitute heresy; but a wilful and obstioate adherence to them. Hence St. Augustine says, ' I may err, but I will not be ailteetic.' He writes also, in his 162 d Episile, " that those who earnestly seek the truth, and are ready on Boding it to stand corrected, must by uo means be reckoned among Heretics.' This Is the spirit of your church, whidtassembled by her pastors at Teem, whilst ohs 1 soaihrenised the heresies dhicb then prevailed, speaks thus is her 13th See. of them presume who held them i—' The Holy Synod, like a tender mother who pesos and briags fortis, wishes sod desires that there may be ooselsiso snoop/ those who bear the name of Christians ; but that as they all acknowledge the same God, and the same Saviour, they may also have the sass faith, the same language, and the some opinion; coollding in the mercy of God, the Synod hopes, i they will return in hope sod charity to the holy and review unity of the faith.' Hov different, dear Brethren, from the spirit which dictated those sentiments, is that which prevails at your unholy assemblies? But sopposing that all those who differ from you in religious opinions were not of that description pointed out by St. Augustine, why do you not hope and prey s that the Lord would, on the bed of death, at the moment of their departure from ibis life, look to the asked whoa they clothed, and the hungry whom they fed— the bread which they broke to the orphan, the !ear whiz* they wiped from the cheek of the widow; and in considers. lion of Owe works, discover to them the light of his troth, inflame their hearts with ***tritium, 611 them with his cha rity, and crown them with his mercy ? Hold fast, dearest Brethren, your own faith, swivel for those who differ from you. Take bred of the words of the Apostle, ' Who art thou that judgetb a foreign servant ? be studs or falls foe his master, but he will stand, for God is powerful euougb to raise 'elm up.' "Is this country your religion is not only tolerated, but protected by the law; it is porn, but poverty is the cradle in which Christianity was nursed, and etches have always been its bane.

" That boa, dearest Wet% •en, has'been perverted tonetry different ends from those which the plot's author intended. it is peiacipilly • conioleatery, edr rather conjectores on the 'trimming °Mir Apocalyptic refli.Jede• the Evaugelist. This hook, called the Apocalypse, is, as its name sigailles, a rove. bilious of envision, which the 'Rothe., hail in the islanh of Pains's, to which be had been banished in the reign of the Emperor Duhaitias. It was a vision of the moat myslevitnia &Mitre, 'Mod "the Apokle's account of it is so hard to be understood, that very few of the fatherstif the chinas have I sadertakes in explain it, tad most of those who did desisted from Me attempt. St. Jerome himself, to whom nothing en the sacred writings appeals to *re bee. difficult, and whom I tem cher* venerates as the greatest of her doctors, and I raised sileby God fur the exposition of the Scripture', even he resigned up the Apocalypse as eutirrly above his comm. leash" toying, ' not only every sentence, but Peg word of it was replete with mystery' It was in this book lust Luther `imagined he had discovered that Rome was Babylon and the Pope Anticheist. So Bishop 4Vallisialy, coatroom!, called Pas. j torini, and the author of your favourite prophecy, wished to deiced his church by retorting on Luther, sayisig, that he (Luther) was the star mentioned is the Apocalypse, that fell from heaven, and which, after biasing oe the earth for two hundred years, would thee be extinguished; that is, :that his doctrine would commis* during that period, and then cease. So poi may perceive that these two zealous disputants would have as believe, that they surpassed all the 'wisdom of past ages, and that the seal of that mysterious bodk, which wes left andfaturbed until their time, was broken for them, that osiedf them, is his tory, might dis cover in it, that a merit Bishop was Antichrist; sad the other is his simplicity, that the stars were to rain down are and brimstone from heaven upon us.' Away, my dear Brethren, with such egregious folly! Do you suffer dieters to wrangle with each other, many of whom, though wise, 6 are sot wise onto sobriety,' sad attend only to the doctrine of your church, as it is taught you by your pastors, fur the regulatioa of year SM. This church has never unveiled that vision, called the Apocalypse: and as Solomon says of the mysteries of nature, it seems to be given up by God to the disputations of men. But eves if Luther happened to • be desigaaled by the star mentioned in It, and his doctrine by the blaze which it entitled, hew does that mowers you ? Luther lived In Germany; hie religion, which resembles your own In some particular", and differs in many from *bat of the established church, was receivrd nor professed Is Eaglasid, .or here. The Lutherans, for instance, cele brate a kind of mass, resembling ours. They go to conies sees; they belie* in the real promote of Christ is the sacrament of the blessed Eucharist; but :hey have no •Biehogia. The established church, on the other heed, have Bishops; they have so mass in any shape or form ; sod they believe that the presence of Christ is the sacrament, though real, is only spiritual. Thus you see, that even if the reli gion of Luther were to fail, it by no means follows that the religion established by law in this coustfy would cease to exist. But if it be any consolalios le you to kouw that Luther's religiose would cease, and your prophecy be M illed, 1 can Worm you from a book now lying before me, and ',rime by • German Superintendent (au office in the Lutheran church *hid' correspond, to that of Bishop in ours), that throughout Germany there is scarcely an isidi ',Reuel to be fouud at present, who believes or professes what was taught by Luther: you aced not wait then for the term axed by POlSOrini fur the extinctiou of his star, as Lushet's &Milne is already extinguished. " But then you will auk me, have the Lutherans all be. tome Roman Catholics? Msny of them have indeed, soil would to God they all did so! but the vast majority of them have sot; they have divided themselves into an influite member of sects, professing strange, and hitherto unheard. of doctrines; and great numbers of them have resounced Christisuity altogether, nod become Infidels. " Do not, my dear Brethren, be so silly at to expect that, ! even if those who differ from you in religious belief in this I Country were to change their ceeed, that they would embrace yours. Fir from it ; they would, for the greeter part, cease to be Christiaus, or form a religion fur themselves. It is not consistent with the 'mare of man, nor with the ordinary pro. vldesce of God, that a body of men like our dissenting Bre thren, who have been separated from the church so losig, and accustomed, each of them to judge for himself in all matters human and disuse, should again subject themselves to the yoke of mithority, and `captivate their understandings to the obedience of faith.' tadividoola might do SP, whole el might do so; but wither the power of the State, our the force of law, nor the terror of death, 'whine short of a min. de pester than any hitherto recorded, could produce uni. (enmity of religion In Elegised or bore. Lay stride, my dear Brethren, your books of prophecies, and reed the hooks which will explain to you the commands of God, and the duties you owe to one aootbcr. Lay aside Pasforini (an Italian word, signifying ' little Pestor'), and listen to your own Psalms whom God has piked over you, 'and who watch as if to give him an accostst of tour souls.' Let Drs. Luther and Walmely quarrel about the A pocalype ,e but do you attend to what Si.Johnolie author of that vision, wrote sad preached, and repeated uocessiagly till the boor of his death,' Laae...another.' Leave propheeter to be interpreted by those who are learned in them, but do you apply yourselves to labour and industry and the works of pence. Each perms Ins hisparticelar vocation from God ; and in that to which he bat been called he should remain. If the lawyer or physician undertook is plough or reap, or sow the seed, you would laugh at his presumption or pity his folly. So It is with you when engaged in prophecies which you do out understand. IWhy bas God placed some apostle", some pastors, some I doctors in his church, toilers to study his law—to [torero and direct his people ? and yet you will usurp their place, and create confusion In the church, which to the bodyuf Christ. You ridicule the folly of those enthusiasts who read sod ex pound the Scriptures in whatever 0311111ef their fancy may suggest; and yet you yourselves interpret prophecies, which of all other parts of Scripture, are the most difficult and bard to be understood: thus, in what yea judge another, you condemn yourselves.' All your chapels, dearest Brethren, are provided with libraries, In which are books containing tracts of piety and explanatious of the law—read and study them, and you will become wise unto aalratios. " But your object is to make your country free and happy.

Can 'into mettion the name of any individual, sot of those el which brit euuencrated, who has ever *tied your unholy associations Have not the clergy, Priests, and Bishops, with one voice condemned you? Has one of you ever been permitted to partake of a Sacrament, in our Church, who has not first renounced these associations? Has any farmer of property, or desk, of fortune or integrity, beet ever found amongst you? His any honest, sober, and industrious ' , tradesman or labourer, erer entered, unless by compulsion, •mongtt'yos ? Are not your leaders, almost without excep tion, nten of profligate lives, of vicious and irreligious habits ; men who, ult. Jade says,' ilespioe power, and blas pheme Majesty?' Are sot those the description of men who domineer over yin? Is it, d Brethren, by such men that traircouttry could be rendered free and happy? Aad if not, why bare you ever suffered yourselves to be deceived by them, to be made the dupes of their malice and mows pliers in their crimes? "To ennetaile, dearly Beloved, let us remind you, that the body of • nation is like, is some degree, to our own. The different racks and orders which compose it are ordained of God, that the whole may be preserved entire. If any of them should seek to usurp the place of the other, discord would ensue. If your feet, seeing your hands Ire idle, world refuse to walk; if your bands would undertake to do the duties of the bead, bow monstrous and absurd would it not appear? So in the Stale, if those whom God has appointed to labour should abandon their station and seek to govern ; Wale ignorant would take the place of the wise, the soldier the place of the peasant, the tradesman that of the m•gie• Irate, the schoolmaster that of the bishop oe Jodie, bow could society exist? Yet to this and such hike aimequeoces all :river silly machloations tend. Return, Mee, dearly Beloved, to the ways of peace—leave the Legislature to pursue those means of improving your cosetry which their wisdom will devises—let the Government meet with • grateful return for the selleitedit they manifest in maintainiag the rights and providing for the wants of the people—leave your Church to e•joy the liberty she possesses—pray for those who differ from you is religion—seek to have more charity, and less of seal, and do not imbitter the lives of your parents, or bring their grey hairs with sorrow to the grave—atone, dearly Beloved, by every means in your power, for the injuries yon leave dose your weiglibour, your country, sad your God— wipe away, by your peaceable demeanor, fur the time to come, t►at foul main which your *induct has, to s certain extent, already east upon your religion ! We wish you peace and benediction, la the name of rise Almighty Father, and his NA Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer, through tbs grace alb* Divine Spirit, who proceeds from bosh.—Aosen! " JAMES DOYLE, P.D. dec. LIMERICK, WEDNESDAY, Novemsza 20. SHOCKING OUTRAOK. On Monday morning last, about two o'clock, an armed gang of ruffians broke into the glebe of the Rev. Mr. M'Cullough, near Killsloe, county Clare, by dashing in the kitchen-window; ►he servant boy was alarmed, and r.su up to the bed-room of his master, who instantly discharged a brace of tole at the ruffians, supposed with effect, as some blood was seen on the stairs—the gang then fired and wounded Mr. M'Cullough in the arm. Being unable to make further resistance they ransacked the house, and took thereout almost every porta ble article, and 251. in cash. The fellows remained in the house two hours, during which they read the newspapers lying in the parlour—some of the gong used the moat taunting expressions to Mr. M'Cul. lough. A female servant who attempted to escape when the purl) , broke in, had her leg broken. We are happy to find that the report of Mr. M'Cullough's death is untrue. By accounts re ceived here last night, he was as well as could be ex pected, from the nature of the wounds inflicted on him.—(Cork Mercantile CAranitle.) NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORIIMOUTR, NOVIIMIUM 25.

THE READING TREAD• MILL—On Friday se'nuight the newly-erected treed-mill for the em ployment of prisoners in the county gaol and house of correction (Reeding), was for the first time put in motion. The pnsoners performed the labour apparently well until Monday lust at one o'clock, when thirty-two mutinied, and refused to go upon the wheels, stating that they must have extra provisions end leather-bottomed ewes, or they could not perform the labour. They con sidered confinement in evils was all the punishment that awaited their disobedience, but in that idea they were deceived ; the keeper and assi►tants were under the necessity of having recourse to arms and bludgeons, and compelled every man to go upon the wheel to perform the allotted labour,—(Becks Gazette.)
