7 -- • Till; LONDON JOUUNALS. DAILY ,}74irarts from the Morning Papers, September 9. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The whole of the public attention is at the present moment directed towards Cadiz, where the French are vain enough to expect an early sienouement of the grand military drama they have been acting in the I'enisula. Their efforts have uniformly been directed to the seizure of the King's person, and they now think they have Dim safe in a trap from which they wish to extri cate him, if they can, without loss of time. Ex actly the same calculation did the French make during the first war of invasion, when they passed Abe Sierra Morena so easily, and spread themselves aver the Andalusian plains. They had then the Cortes in the same trap as King Ferdinand is now iii l and they then calculated, that if they could once get hold of them, there would be an end to the war. Soult at that time distributed a large army in front of La Isla, raised batteries and redoubts, and even sent to France for car venters and sailors to build and man a flotilla, for the purpose of competing with the combined one operating in the Bay of Cadiz. For thirty three months did they keep their positions in front of La Isla, making trial of every means that could possibly be invented to enable them to succeed in their operations against the place. T heir efforts tvere,however,fruitless,although the means their opponents at that time possessed were not nearly equal to those now possessed by ,the Spaniards. The Duke d'Angosleme, since his arrival at the Bay, has disco vered that . Cadiz is amply supplied with pro visions, and he throws the blame on the Admiral. The works on the Trocadero have been built, and the Duke conceives he ought also to have prevented this. For an attack, a sufficient num ber of small vessels has not'been prepared, and this again is established as a charge against the Admiral, and it is further added, that he has been weak enough to give it as his opinion that any at tack against the Graditanean Island with such means as his countrymen at the present can bring against it, i s n o t only likely not to succeed, but also to be attended with the most serious conse quences. lie is also said to have requested that whatever the Duke may determine on may be executed promptly, as the situation of his vessels on a lee shore will be very precarious the moment the Le ranters commence, n Welt is usually in September, and of which they have already had experience during three days, when it was utterly out of his power to prevent the arrival of a num ber of vessels in the Bay, laden with provisions. [aarrtstt euEss.] Cadiz still remains unessaulted end secure. Saturday's French papers bring nothing but new menaces and boasts of prepa►ation ; but yet nothing has been done. All hopes of obtaining possession of the Andalusian city, either by treacherous negociation or assault, seem now, however, abandoned ; and the most rational of the French journals confess that the siege is likely to prove difficult and protracted. Valdez, the Governor of Cadiz, has made the most unceasing and determined preparations for defence. — He is unapproachable by corruption, and under his authority distrust and treason are extin guished, and Cadiz, from her natural de fences, and the determination of her numer ous garrisons, stands secure. The Trocadero, it is now admitted, might have been car ried by llourdesoult, on his first arrival ; but it is at present almost impregnable, from-the efforts of the veteran Valdez. Angouleme appears dis satisfied, both with his military and naval officers. Hamelin, the French Admiral, was about to re tire, and even Bourdesonlt did not stand a jot ton firm in his command. The renowned Captain, it appears, was discontented at the want of energy betrayed by his Lieutenant previous to his great arrival. The report was still prevalent in Paris ea Saturday that an attack had been made on tl►e Trocadero and failed, the French suffering severe loss. The assertion is repeated not only by the Opposition Journals, but by one or two of die most violent Ultra prints. Moncey is said to Live suffered heavily under the walls of Tarra gona, in the lute contest with Milans and Unbent, though his garrulous dispatches prate about suc ceases. fatonstso ncuAr.n.l .The Paris Papers up to Sunday last, from yinich we have given some extracts, do not con tain any intelligence of a decisive nature re specting the progress of the war in Spain. There are some details of operations in Catalonia, which, according to the customary cant of the French 6ulletins, represent the Constitutionalists as having been repulsed in all the encounters be tweet) theM and the invaders; they speak of partizan leaders being driven into towns, and of active preparations being made to bombard the towns; hut they do not inform us whether any Of these towns have been taken ; and tbe next accounts wilt probably state, that trio titans, who took shelter there have keen beaten, in some other quarter. The chief object of attention, on the part of the French, 1444 inti to be the intended attack on Cadiz ; for, u the proposed negociations have been entirely broken off, nothing now remains for - them but to apply the whole Of their strength and exert their utmost efferts in endeavouring to capture that important place. We have already stated that they failed in their attempt to carry a certain Work celled the Trocadero, which defended the approach to Cadiz. The papers which have just been received confirm this intelligence,and some of ,tern even declare that the siege of Cadiz will be a very protracted one. slut the Journal des De. liols—with a view, no doubt, of rescuing the great Oeneralksitho from the disgrace that must attach to a failure, after the most confident prognostications tod been held out by him—asserts ti n it the fort of Trocadero, properly so culled, has not been at tacked, but that the name Trocaderia is given to. kotße other places u the vicinity and then the writers would make us believe that hit the Itc., counts which bad been previously given of rah.; ing parallels, and carrying on bombardments, ' which terminated unsuccessfully, were mere fic tions ; and that the operations hitherto begun, preparatory to the siege, were nothing more than children's play. Now it is very well known that the Trocadero is a strong outwork on the narrow isthmus leading to the city of Cadiz ; that there is no other work of that name which could have been attacked ; and therefore, if the French have been foiled in this first attack, there is every reason to anticipate a long and protracted siege. The friends of national independence may, in fact, have good ground to hope that, before the French can make the least approach to the town, the severity of the season will force them to abandon their project ; and that they will even tually get sick of a war, which can never be con sidered as terminated, until they have possession of King Ferdinand, and those persons whom they have been pleased to call his gaolers. [-rtes TIMES.J Whatever differences may exist with regard to the extension of Mr. Owen's plan of education and employment to the mass of the community, the success of it, as confined to his own manu factory at New Lanark, we have always heard, and still believe, to be unquestionable. Such, however, does not appear to be the opinion en tertained by a reverend person and his as sociates of the Presbytery of Lanark (or rather, the opinion which they are anxious to cir culate), concerning Mr. Owen and his system. From a letter which this benevolent gentleman has published in the Glasgow Chronicle, we learn that a Mr. Menzies, the Calvinistic Minister al luded to, has long been collecting and exhibit ing very hostile dispositions towards the esta blishment at New Lanark, and that he and the Presbytery have transmitted a most unfavourable statement on the subject to the General Assembly of the Kirk. But this statement, unfortunately, as Mr. Owen declares,—and he refers to well known facts for his authority—contains a direct falsehood in each distinct allegation. It charges him with excluding the Scriptures from his schools, whereas he appeals to the whole country, that they and the Catechism of the Church of Scotland are taught regularly to the children more days than one In the week. Mr. Owen is charged by the censorial voice of the Presbytery, with having deceived the world as to the real state of morals in New Lanark, and more particularly in relation to the intercourse of the sexes. The reply is, that among 630 young women, the average number at New Lanark, the number of illegitimate children for twelve years has not exceeded 51 per annum, or about one child to 114 females. He further affirms, that 24 years ago, when the population of New Lanark was not more than half what it now is, the Justice of Peace Court was constantly occupied with the petty squabbles and offences of the villagers. Whereas now, with an increased number of inhabitants, a case from the establishment of Mr. Owen is a rarity which creates surprise. But it is not merely the false hood of their charge which constitutes the re proach of the Scottish Minister and the Pres bytery on this occasion: It is the conceited and intolerable spirit of meddling, by which they seen, to have been instigated. Mr. Owen's is a private manufactory. The Calvinistic Parson and his brethren had no more business to pry into and report upon, the manner in which its owners con ducted their business, than they would have to obtrude themselves upon any other household in the kingdom. It is worse than the old intriguing confessors under Popery, one of those abomina tions against which that fierce and unforgiving faction in Scotland, composed half of fanatics — half, we suspect, of more worldly-minded hypo crites, opened in former times their loud throats, and lifted their sinewy arms; nay, the part as sumed by the Presbytery in the present instance, was nothing different from that of a Spainsh In quisition. It is not indeed the only case of which we have heard, where the encroaching spirit of the Kirk over private life has been more conspicuous than credible. [MORNING eon.] Notwithstanding the official report of Major- General Guilleminot, which made no mention of any fighting before Cadiz, up to the 2Q th ultimo, the belief that a combined attack had been made by the fleet and the army on the Trocadero, and that it had been defeated with consider. able loss, still prevailed in the French capital. It was asserted with equal confidence both by the Liberal Journals and by those of the extreme Ultras, and had gained ground to such an extent as to affect the price of the Funds deeply. On a first view, indeed, they would seem to have fallen four or five per cent., but after deducting the half-yearly dividend, which in France is added to the regular value of the stock until the interest be paid, it will be found that they were more than one and an half per cent. lower than they had been about the same time last week. This circumstance, and the pro bability that the depression would continue, had evidently alarmed the Ministers, and the Jour nal del? Dards has consequently put forth a for mal contradiction of all the rumours in circulation. this means we have been put in possession of their nature, with which we were before but par tially acquainted. They appear to have consisted of the following assertions, which we have some lingering hope may still turn out to be facts : " that Ilallasteros had resumed the offensive against the French : that a fruitless attack had been made upon Cadiz, in consequence of which Admiral Hamelin had been remov ed from his command, as a punishment for not having performed impossibilities : and that Ge neral Bourdesoult was implicated in the seine defeat, and was to be also sent back to France under a charge of neglect of his duty in not hav ing carried on the works for the attack of the Trocadero to a greater extent before the arrival of the Duke of Angoulerne at Port St. Mary's, and having suffered the Constitutionalists to in crease their defences on every side. There w ere other reports in circulation, but they were of minor importance. Now how does the Journal des Nbats disprove the allegation that Ballusteros had resumed the offensive ? Not by declaring that his junction with the French I army had been completed, and that both were acting in concert against the Constitutionalists ? No; but by simply saying, that `' far from hav ing taken up arms again, I3allesteros had written to the Regency ;" as if he might not have writ. ten for the purpose of telling the Regencythat his conditional capitulation not having been rati fied by the Cortes and that Assembly continuing to exist, he would renew hostilities as soon as the stipulated armistice should have expired ! [NEW TIMES.] We have received the French Papers of Satur. day, and the ()ours Authentique o f that day. The last price of the Rentes, up to the hour of that publication, was 88, 70, for money, without the dividend ; and the last price (by our letters) for the account, was 91, 60, in cluding the dividend ; exchange 25, 75. The French Admiral Hamelin retires from the com mand of the blockading squadron before Cadiz, on account of extreme ill health. Of course the Liberal Journals endeavour to give a gloomy turn to this simple event. Some say he threw up his command in disgust ; others that he was superseded for inactivity; but both these state ments are unfounded. The Admiral himself felt, that at so critical a period the good of the ser vice required that the fleet should be in the hands of an Officer whose health would allow him to devote to it his whole energies : and on his resignation he received from his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme the most flattering approbation of his past services. The attention of the Parisians has been much attracted to a prosecution instituted against the Editor of the Drapeau Blanc, for the insertion of a letter signed by the Abbe de La Mennais, and addressed to M. de Frays sinous, Bishop of Hermopolis, and Grand Master of the University. Both these Divines are highly distinguished for their talents and piety ; both are eloquent and animated writers ; but M. de. La. Mennais having been informed that in some of the French schools religious instruction is grossly neglected, has thought himself justified in bringing this circumstance forward as matter of charge against the Grand Master of the University, under whose controul these schools are placed by law.---We fear there is too much reason to believe that in many of the French schools Religion in one of the last objects of the teachers attention. How should it he otherwise in a country where for so many years Religion was an object of persecu tion, insult, and contempt, and where to this hour the impious and execrable Voltaire, who dared to apply to the Saviour of Mankind the horrible words Ecraser infante, is held up to public admiration in every possible way! The obscene and odious works of this disgrace to human nature are to be found in almost every. French Library, and his Statue is erected in the principal Theatre of the French Metropolis. While this continues; to, be the case, irreligion must flourish in France ; and though some of the facts mentioned by M. de , La Mennais are probably exaggerated, we,fear that they are not wholly without foundation. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From the Dublin Correspondent, Sept. 2.1 THE REFORMATION AND MR. COBBETT. (PART II t ) We have endeavoured to sketch, in a loose and general manner, a few of the advantages which England has obtained by the Reformation—and, in adverting to those, the necessity is avoided of specifying what Europe has gained by it also—what good reason, humanity, letters, liberty, have to exult in its consequences. England it great anti happy, wealthy and glorious, because the Reformed Religion has spread its benign and luminous influence among her people— Ireland is neither one or the other, because the same Religion has not extended in the same degree. Before the Reformation the Clergy in England were possessed of immense revenues and of unbounded power; both of which were more or less exerted in resisting the progress of knowledge. Since the Reformation the Clergy of the Established Church are bound by principle and interest to promote the advance ment of knowledge of all kinds. It is not necessary to state the advantage of such a change. During the reign of the Church of Rome over the concerns of nations, whether spiritual or po. neither her authority nor her power were to be question ed —and the absence of all investigation was a consequence. The authority of that Church prohibited the instructing in the oriental languages, and the studying or even the reading of the books of the Old an d New Testaments. The whole of its sys tem was then founded on certain passages and certain expres sions in the Sacred Writings, to which it gave its own con struction--and on traditions, passages from the Holy Fathers, decisions of Councils, Bulls, Decretals, Charters, and other historical muniments , the truth of man y of whi ch were long doubted, and the falsehood of others well known. We speak of the system of this Church before the Reforms tion—since, it has in many . respects reformed itself', though more in secondary than in primary matters of .concern. To attack the system ill it stood at the period alluded to, the Protestant theologians were compelled to make themselves masters of the languages, and of all their idiomatic peculiari ties, in which the Holy Scriptures were Witten; and also to qualify' themselves by deep and general study for that criticism, which was not confined alone to the language of the sacred books, but to t he various branches of sacred history also, as well as of ecclesiastical history. They had to detect the passages from Holy Writ which were mutilated, as well as those which were m isin terpreted—todistinguish between the meanings which words curried with them at different periods, and in the shifting varieties of popular use. Without some knowledge of the Roman manners and customs, every candidate for Holy Orders in the Church, of England feels, in his probationary course, that a mere translation of many passages in the writings of St. Paul would nut imply their true and full meaning. The theolos glans alluded to were obliged to attain a precise knowledge of places, of manners, events, prevailing ideas at various periods, the political a n d internal civil state of nations, as well aa.the in tellectual cult u re of different people, according to the particle. her periods when certain Prophets wrote, or certain Evangelists recorded or preached the gospel of Christ. The practical im purities wh ich corn pounded th e m s elves with the administration of re li g i on during the course o f ages, were attacked—not by refractory ignor a n ce , by inquisitive learning--not by puerile subtlety, but by manly reason, conducted in its course by con. science, and lighted by the pure lamp of the gospel. The 1111111C4 of the Protestant scholars who were enlisted in this glo rious warfare of light and truths would fill our paper; it is out of our view to enter into minute specification of this noble nomenclature, still less to enumerate the victories won by their learning and talents and zeal; but from the first grand impulse came, which has touched and moved every principle in society ' —and out of the se f e li c i tou s agitations no land on earth has reaped half as m uc h a d van tage as England, idtho Mr. Cushiest pleases to shut his eyes upon them. 'lf we were to narrow the benefits of the lieformation—and tied forbid that we should ! to the services rendered.to learning alone, to classics, criticism. and Philology, to sc i ence in all its branc hes, we shou l d conceive tnere would he sufficient to warm the gratitude of Europe but, of all particul ar nat i ons , t h e gratinote of England preeminent ly. If nothing better resulted from the labours oldie Protes tant theologians, titan their acute and assiduous study of the Oriental and Greek arc lgeologia , di rected to the inter p retation of the Sacred larritinos, and a critical exams aation of their text with the c o ll a t era l ace uirements of of tut:, noble armv of schola rs a nd martyrs, to which he ewes his paramount r e li g i ous d'''''°“ti" . AVe never, for o u r parts, are more roorll to !spleen, than when we perceive a ehttffiing, l i ote an a. co la f a ll o w, bearing the appellation of a Protestant, not only insensible to the g lor y upon which he ought to felici ta te himself in a ll his - meditation*, but actually joining ergs reapectiug the Proteaßant Establiehment, which the li. in the shallow sneer* and. ignorant taunt. beral leveller* of Churches and Tithes are so fond of exhibit ing, as the testimonies of their illumination. When we hear one of the Pasquins of faction railing at Protestanism, and upbraiding its members, with a disregard to every thing like principle, and a regard for nothing but " the loaves and fishes of office," our disdain is inexpressible at such offscour. ings of Ignorance and stupidity. The Protestant Church flourishes only in the broad effulgent lights of truth, reason, and freedom—an illiterate Clergy is incompatible with a Church founded upon the eternal truths of Scripture, which can never be protected against the pollutions of human fraud, but by a body of learned theologians and polemical scholars—the unre mitting sentinels, the heroical militants, to assert truth, and maintain the gospel purity. Humble the Church by specious spoliations—pension off her Clergy upon gratuated stipends— let the candidates for her ministry bung with them the calcu lations of interest which lure men into other departments under the State—and much time will not elapse before clouds and ob actuations will begin to gather over the face of truth, and igno rance anti servility to creep into those pulpits, where, for three hundred years, learning and reason have maintained a free and noble and rightful possession. If the Protestant Religion is to be sacrificed in Ireland, Mr. Cobbett's advice is whole. some and suited to the design. Destroy the Church is the grand remedy ; the first step to this is, to degrade it—to render its duties below the rank of a Gentleman, of a man of education and independent mind—and then the work of change will proceed rapidly. Soon there will cease to be a body of men in its service capable of tracing the sacred historians and poets through the Egyptain, Arabian, Syriac, Chaldean, Sama ritan, Persian, Greek, and Roman antiquity—of analysing their languages, examining their manners, investigating their dispositions, the prevalent modes of thinking of their contem poraries—capable of travelling upon safe ground through the regions of antiquity, and shedding a clear and steady light up on the most important records of the human race. The Libe ralist will sneer, and ask, when do the Protestant Clergy employ themselves in those illustrious avocations ? The work has been done already—and thousands of names, though unknown to the little flashy freethinker of the day, are immortalized by their works in this way; but there is in the body of the Clergy, always, a sacred band of faithful and able scholars, ready to turn out upon the slightest approach of an enemy, anti to preserve those truths unshadowed, which their faithful and vigorous and heroic predecessors have victoriously redeemed from darkness, by letting in upon them the celestial light of the Gospel—" that all may see and believe." There are men now in the service of our Holy Church, who are proper guardians for the conservation of those treasures, which the English, German, and Dutch philologists of the Re formation have rescued from the neglected libraries of the old Monasteries of the East as well as of the West—have drawn, by indefatigable labour, from the mouldy records over which the indolent and unlearned and unconscious Monk dosed out his formal ritual life. Every Protestant knows—and all Protestant institutions, which have at heart their vital characteristic prin. eiple, act more or less upon the knowledge—that the natural foe of his creed 'is, ignorance—its most ordinary champions, learning and knowledge of the most enlarged kind ; it is for this reason that the English Universities have members of their body specifically employed to traverse and investigate Asia, Palestine, the vicinity of Thebes, and Ethiopa—that several Protestant Societies have members continually engaged in searching for documents in all quarters, which might be of accessorial evidence to truth. The whole plan and method of the study of Protestant theology differs from Roman' Catholic theology—there is scarcely any thing common as to their systems but the name; but this is enough to mislead many.— The Protestant theology depends, as its foundations, upon a system of inquiry anti examination, and the freedom of the human understanding; the knowledge of sacred antiquity is necessary to it, also of Church history—and its simplified and pure doctrine is supported by philosophy in its inquiry into the laws of nature, morality, and the relation of man to his Creator. History, classical literature, and philosophy, are necessary, however light they may be valued by Mr. Cobbett, to the Protestant theologian. The Roman Catholic theology rests on the authority of the decisions of the Church, and these being inflexible, the student is prohibited the free use of his reason. It still retains the jargon of the schools, and the clouds of the tenth century even yet impart to it a share of their darkness. It Is learned with some mental slavery —and, when learned, the best thing which the Student can do is, to endeavour to forget it. In this comparison be tween the two systems of theology, perhaps, our readers may be able to discover some of the advantages of the Reforthation, though imperceptible to Mr. Cobbett—who is enamoured of the Monks which he only sees in history, and sometimes in tales and poems—and who, happily for him, are no longer the historians of the times—since the Reformation — nor the compilers of the fables, maledictions, and superstitions, which constitute so large a share of the annals of England, while history issued from the Convents. • 'rids subject is one of inestimable importance at the present day—it has been, providentially, let us hope, forced upon the public mind. We found it circulating in its publicity, and in. Our'sense - of duty, we could riot let it pass. iVo have no in- , terested motive on earth in what we only suggest, as belonging to the subject. We can gain no favour—and it is more than probable that we must incur some enmity. The Clergy have a deep share of interest in this question, which has been started by Mr. Cobbett—but the Laity, in our minds, have one to the full as great. AMERICAN OFFICIAL PAPER. At this moment the following official letter, defining the duty of our revenue-officers in re gard to the European belligerents, will be read with great interest:— CIRCULAR TO THE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, JULY 30, 1823. St It—As it is probable that in the progress of the war which now exists between France and Spain, the public and private armed vessels of one, and perhaps of both belligerents, may, by stress of weather, pursuit of enemies, or some other urgent necessity, be forced to enter the ports and harbours of the United States, it becomes the duty of the Government to pre scribe the manner in which they shall be treated whilst they remain within its jurisdiction. As there exists upon this subject no legislative enactment, the question must be decided by the conventional engage. ments which the United States have contracted with the belli gerent parties. By the Bth article of the treaty between the United States and Spain, it is provided that the public and private vessels of Spain, when forced by stress of weather, pursuit of enemies, or any other urgent necessity, to seek shelter or harbour, may enter into any of the rivers, bays, roads, or ports, belonging to the United States, and shall be received with all humanity, and enjoy all favour, protection, and help, and be permitted to re fresh and provide themselves, at reasonable rates, with provi sions and all things needful for the subsistence of their persons, or reparation of their ships, and prosecution of their voyage; and they shall be no ways hindered from departing from the said ports or roads, but may remove and depart when and whither they please, without any let or hindrance. With France, the United States have no treaty-stipulations upon the subject. The obligations of neutrality, however, im pose upon them the observance of the same course of conduct toward both belligerents, unless Spain has a right, by treaty, to exclusive privileges. A reference to the provisions of the Uth article of the treaty above recited, proves that no exclusive privileges have been granted to her. It becomes, then, the duty of the United States to trest the public and private armed vessels of both parties in the same manner. Assuming the provisions of the article referred to, us the rule by which the conduct of the United States is to be regu lated, I ant instructed by the President to direct--- Ist. That the public and private armed vessels of France and Spain, with their prizes, may, under the circumstances de scribed in the said article, enter the ports, harbours, and waters of the United States, and repair any damages which they may have sustained e but no increase of arms or muni tions of war, or of the number of men on board, can be law, fully made. tid. That such prizes cannot be condemned or sold within the jurisdiction of the United States, and consequently cannot he admitted to entry us the eastorn-house, nor permitted to enter into the general consumption. 3d. That they may at any time depart from the United States without let or hindrance. 4th. That when prize-vessels have been wrecked, or so dis abled as not to be rendered seaworthy, their cargoes may be re-shipped in any other vessel which shall not enjoy an exem_p. tion from capture, not enjoyed by suc h p r ize-vessels. Ftir example, if France, in the progress of the war, shall conform to the rule that free vessels make i'ree goods, the cargoes of vessels captured by either belligerent, when re-shipped in neu use' vessels, will enjoy an exemption from capture which the priz?-vessel dal not enjoy. sib. During the time that prize -vessels may remain in the ports of the United States, they shall be subject to such inspee, Lion, and such superintendence, by the Custom-house offices; as may be necessary to prevent sentegling of any kind. The same rules are to be observid in relation to the public and private armed vessels 01' Spain, and of the independent GoventrontB established in Spanish America, and their prises, when brow ;ht within the juitstliction of the- United States—.
