i i beell 'presented to,lits MAJESTY so strongly express • the 'general. appiOhation of the People, 'pi to the reasolts which induced him to dismiis his late Mi timers), that' we could not help feeling much surf , prise on reading a Letter from -the Rev. VicislitOs • KNQX, in an Opposition Paper of yesterday t iin'idh, the writer condemns the principles upottlAicittAre Addresses were founded, and severely arraignmEltfie-' ..conduot of his Diocesan, the Bishop of Rocnisiaa : The venerable Prelate, it appears, anxious to testify his loyalty and his attachment to that Religious Esta.- blishment which it is Ms bouuden duty to support, at a cqnfiymation and Visitation holden by bis Lord- ship on .the loth inst. at Tunbridge, permitted a Clergyman to move, and another to second, an Ad dress to, litilWAJEsry, thanking him for that part of his condua which led to the removal of the late Ministers. Dr. KNOX was rising, it seems, td 07. post! tt)is. measure, but was prevented frorwipro i 'reeding by the Bishop, who, according •tb XtlOX's account, displayed " great external maks'of anger, and before he could possibly knoW oawhat side Dr. Ktiox intelided to speak, vehemently, toughly, athi peremptorily insisted-that he should. not oppose it: ) Now, admitting the truth of Dr. KNOX'S statement, we beg leave to ask whether it is proper fora Clergyman :thus to represent his Superior, to' . *horn he owes reverence and'obedience, in a public newspaper ? ' But we beg leave also to ask, whether the Biihop had not reason to infer, from the known • political principles of. Dr. KNOX, that„ in : rising, to speak on such a: measure, he was more likely to oppose than to support it, and, consequently, whether the former did not aft very properly in preventing : , • the . .Cburth.frotti becoming the scene of party disA. , . ? The Bishop wisely' stopped all ger of political diSpUtation its such a pliCe the beginning, and handed Over the rails of the bitnniunion-toblu the Address that was to manifest Vfirin adherence to the 'faith and the mode of wor iffy that the Sacred edified was raised to prote&, in. which this Address was tobe signed by the true friends of otir happy Cot:l36'4loon in Church and 'State. 'But Dr. KNOx is not contented with using diSrespeefitlinode of speaking 'of the Bishop,. which we have before stated, for he says, that the arniable aid loyal Prelate exercised his " epic ebpal authdrity" On the, occasion, with the dic tation' of " Papal Despotism." It is' needlesi fir us to attiriladvert upon such Wpm° canting from a person of Dt. KNOX'S sacred funCtion, and in reference to doe whom he is bound particularly to honour and oer.. Dr. Krtot proceeds to say, that the sdlijea ought certainly td hac;e been re tenied the Town-ltall," and 'we do not wonder t this Observation; b,cause in that place he might have had a full opportunity of giving free vent to his politiol feelings and notions. But it in his opi ilion it was ihiproper to introduce the stibjeet in the Church, with.. what regard to propriety ,Could Ile rise for the porpdie of rendering .the matter a aubjea of debate and argument in -such a plaCe . For he proceAs to give a fUll account of what he intended to s;ty if he had been permitted to steak; And, '4iith whatever adMitation he may look upon his own knowledge add powers of persuasion, it is 'hardly to be supposed that he could Ratter himself ' co far as to imagine that Wliat,he said would be re ceived at once With profound submission by the Bishop :Ind the rest of his Holy Brethren.. It may then be ttirly raid , that the Bishop, in assenting to the Motion iur the Address, only aced in conformity to his'duty, by supporting the established faith a place purposely , rtssigned for its protaion, and that Dr. Knox in reality endeavonred to convert that place into a %eerie for political disputation. But what must ,the Public think of Dr. Knox in thus attacking the lishup of ROCHESTER, for permitting a measure for • the maintenance of the national Religion to be intro duced in the Church, when they ruustrecollea that this same Dr. Knox, a few years ago, introduced politics in the Put.riT, at a time when he should lave been delivering the aweful truths, and sacred doctrines of Religion ? This very improper, con , - 41361 of . Dr. Knox took place' at Brighton, a e lfl a great part of what he said was particularly directed -against 'the Military, at a time when the town was 15 111 of Soldiers who were. stationed 'at. the place. • We are far from approving the condo t of the ricers, who, the following evening, on seeing Dr, Knox at the Theatre ,with his family, obliged hint to •quit it ; but Dr. Knox might blame him %W for having given them such an unjustifiable provocation. We think it proper to recall this circumstance to his mind, /Or if it be iMproper to 41ttocibcc politics In the Church, out of his: own• • mouth may we condemn him.
