Tuesday, w.is under,the folloCng ch. ! . cum stances :—A clergyman resident in the coml . try sent 3000/. to a broker to be invested in the Funds, and the broker returned him a bank re ceipt, purporting to be a receivrfor a transfer of Stock into the clergyman's name, agreeably to his directions. The clergyman, on examining the re ceipt, found that the witness's name, purporting to be the signature of one of the Bank clerk's. ailmei, was written in a such a style, that it was impossible to make it out. This, together with other eircimances, caused him to snspect that there was something wrong, and he in consequence, sent the receipt ton partienkr friend in Lon don, to make inquiries At the Bank, which took place on Tuesday morning, when the answer Was,. that no such transfer had beet - 1A . 114de.. This. Was gotm noised about the think, and the parties sus peered, contrived to get the proper transfer made during the time the inquiry was about 'to be in stituted ; however, it is doubtful whether the transaction would have alumnae(' to a forgery, as the party sending the receipt into the country had made the instrument to state it to be a transfer from himself:. Yesterday morning Nicholls, one of the con doctors of the Bow -street patrole, apprehended a clerk employed in a large concern on a charge of fOrgery or entlAzzlement. R. Limbetick, belonging to the same office, took into custody at the same time two m en o f respectable appearance on chargesol' forgeries to a very coosiderable exient.

'Canterbury note in payment, this she declined taking, when one of them pro duced a 51. Bank of England note, this she changed for them, writing the address which w►ts given her, namely, ". IVrn, Parr, Canterbury ;" they lett the house soon after, and she had not seen them since, but thought the prisoner was one of them, The note afterwards turned out to be a bad one.

The two regiments or Lift, Guards are augment ing with increased activity, to reinforce that corps recently sent to the Marquis of NVcr.t.iworolq, a the long established Royal Guards of honour. Are sincerely lament to hear, that the gallant colonel Skeattryr has lost the use of his feet in the last campaign in Spain. Ire was left with his brigade with the important charge to cover the retreat of •the iSrmy from the Tagus, which he conducted with great ability ; upon their return he 'was left to protect the fords of the Tagus. The French occupied the opposite bank . of the river with 000 nick, and eight pieces of cannon : he resisted this force for JO hours with his small heignle, and killed great number*, wheu he was ordered to retire.

But difficult as' it is to limit, a deviation from priaciple., a return to a strict observance of it, after such deviation has been long allowed, is abundantly more so. Man is a creature of habit ; and it often happens that habits in. theinselvcs in .. f urious, and tending t o sho rten his physical exist ence, become so fixed., and, as it were, inter woven . wish his constitution; that their disconti nuance ‘vould pi abahlY accelerate that dissolution, which they themselves threaten' prematurely to bring on. A similar remark is applicable to his clondit s ion as a social being. Society is often tin der the necessity of persevering in habits which are deeply injurious to its best interests, in order to ovoid the greater mischief which would attend a disruption of those habitS ; and, as far as this is the case, it may be said to be in a diseased state. - Such, however, is the actual state of this country, with regard to the subject under consi deration. The exclusive principle of the Test- Laws, on the efficaq of which depends the exist ence of the establishment, has been habitually relaxed in such a manner, that to restore it to tone and vigour, seems a task of ancointaon diffi culty. It is true, the law still requires conformi ty with the Established •Church, as a qualifica tion for offices of trust and emolament. Mit the enforcement of thatlaw is annually suspended by Indemnity-Bill, and even' its total repeal is• occasionally attempted lo the legisiuure. - When- ever such an attempt is made, it may truly he said that the church is shaken to its foundation. In passing . the Indemnity-Bill, year 'after year, the legislature doubtless acts tinder the ithpres- - sion, that the power which grants can at pleasure with4old, and that it will always be able to with draw the accustomed indulgence,'and to allow the- .lasvto take it s course , should the" safety of the church ever require a return both to its letter and, spirit. But it is a truth which Should.ndt be too long forgotten, thatan Established Church, when 'it most needs protection, is least likely to pbtain. it. The only sure way indeed of protecting such an establishment, is to provide eflectually for its fl security, while i t i s i n a ourishing state., It can not be denied, that the difficulty of defending the Established Church of this country is become alarmingly great, so much is the defensive prin ciple relaxed anti enfeebled, and so much grormd has been gained by the hostile force -opposed to the 'eStablishment. It •is not, however, proposed to regain the lost ground, or even rigidly to forte Ulu grand eXchriive principle of defence.— The only question before us at - present is, whe 7 titer we shall wake a stand where we now 4re ? Whether Lee shall maintain the principle of the Test-Laws, as that principle is uu'v applied ?- 7 . Whether, in short, we shall defend the very walls and ramparts of the National Church ? The Subject considered with a Reference to the. Ro wan Catholics, us distinguished front Protc4ildnt Dissenters, and particularly to the :?outun Catho lies of Ireland, The question, whether the principle of the -Test-Laws shall be abandoned or maintained, is now bronght to issue by the; claims of the Irish Roman ; claims which directly att ac k th a t principle, since their object is the removal of every disability and disqualitication, on account of religion, from the persons by whom they are pre krred. But it' the principle of the T. st-Laws were to be given 'up in favour of one dt!scriptio n of non-conformists, it 'would be tliikult to find reasons for retainiirg it wit', regard to . others. If t no longer necessary for the pro teiTrti principle thei,ot' * l ehureb, it bhould be ahandonctl al together, and on that very ground,, as a sacrifice • dtie to ne .eset all cla sof not,-couforuiists ; but it' it lace still a bulwark should not be relinquished in favour of any. Frolli this dilemma it is presumed there is no escape. But if we would consult the safety of the Established Church, of all descriptions of non... conformists, the Roman Catholic are the last, in whosefavour such alacrifice should be male. We have seen 'Chat the necessity of :excluding rouconfortaists from power, with a view to the above object, is' fontuled upon the supposition; or rather the certainty, that power in such hand s would be employed again s t the establishment.— The motive which would lead any noncon formists so to employ it, is pot pate hostility to • the Established ReliEio'n (if indeed it were, Roman Cath o li cs could not be expected to be behind any other separatists in such hostility, to the reformed church) ; but the desire by tvilltih mankind, :whenever religion .excites an interest in their minds, 'are invariably actuated-to *- mote the ascendancy of their own peculiar wor 7 ship. This motive must be expected to operate turret powerfully on . the adherents 011ie See of Rom than on tha on any other description of religion, ists ; because ,"they are disth - iguislted from nil others by ;teal for:the propagatiou theif reli gion.
