After laying some tii a exposed to a most de structive fire, she fell with the towsprit. the enemy's main atbniizen' rigging, still unable to retnrn his fire: At:length the enemy boarded; and made himself master of the brig, every individual Officer being wounded, and the greater part- of the men eithe r killed or-wounded, there not being twenty per - sons remaining unhurt Although I shall ever deplore the unhappy issue of.this contest, it would he great injustice ,to the merits of the officers and crew if I failed to report that their bravery and cooLcss is deserving of every praise; and I ant convinced, if the Frolic • had nut been crippled in the gale, I should have to make a very different report to your Excellency.

CS (Continued 'from our Paikr of Sat - In 'order to answer Satisfactorily and safely question of such vital importance as that above pro posed, it is necessary to ingnite whether any and what change has taken place in the fundamental principles of Popery, nt least as far as those prin ciples have tt tendency to produce the qualities above described ; for the same principles mast ever be expected to produce the saute effects on the "minds, dispositions, 4nd charaker of man kind. A dotument has lately Made its appearance, which is rarticularly Calculated to ena!)le us to as certain the real .principles of modern Popery, and, consequently, to judge ; whether any change has taken place i:r the religion of the Church of Rome, " The-Theotogical Professorof the Popish Col lege of Maynooth, in irelaud,, has pablislied a work, intitled a Treatise on the Church of Christ, which work is stated to be intended for the ,use of tbe.sludews in the above-Mentioned colleo.—lt affords us, therefore, an opportunity of discover ing not only what are the principles maintained at the, present day by the Church . of Rome, but also what principles- are actually inculcated to our fellow-subjects of the Romish - persuasion in. Ire land. We may look with confidence for a faith= ful picture of modehr Pdpery; and, considering by.whom thatpicture is'drawn, we may reason ably expect it to exhibit, rather a flattering, than an unfavourable likeness of the original it .pourtrays. -This. book appears in- an academical form, and in a dead language, and consequently it is not calculated for general circulation: Bat a recent publication has brought forward, in a more Mini liar shape, those parts of it which relate to the important question now_hefore us. The publica tion alluded 'to is entitled- . --" The Claims of the Roman Catholics considered, with reference to the Safety of the Established Church, and the Rights of Religious Toleration*." In the Sth chapter ot this publication, extracts are given from the Treatise of the Maynooth Professor, by it. is clearly shewn that the Church of Rome still maintains and circulates the following fundameu tal principles :- Ist, That the Church, of which the Pope is the bead, (that is to say, .theChureh of Rome) is the only true Church of Christ. In this principle; the. claim to Papal Supremacy is clearly involved. 2nd, That there no salvation out of the Church. 3d, That. the general councils of the Church are infallible. .• . - 4th, That Faith is not to be kept with heretics ; to the prejudice of the Church. With regard to the last-mentioned principle, or tenet, its avowal and inculcation in the ,Maynooth Treatise afford a remarkable specimen of Popish _subtlety and delusion. The Professor indignantly repels the charge that the Church Of Rome Main tains the obnOxious tenet,—that it is lawful to break faith with heretics. - But it appears clearly from his work to be a - principle of the Romish Church, that faith is not to he kept with here tics—to the prejudice of the Church. A grosser subterfuge than such a distinction was surely ne ver employed to impose on the credulity, of man kiad. It is- now in the power of every Protestant in his Majesty's dominions to judge, whether Popery has laid aside those qualities by which it was for merly distinguished, and 'which furnished the ground-work of the Revolution. ' Th - ose qualities were, as has been already obseri•ed, its intolerant character, its persecuting spirit, its invariable ten dency to promote arbitrary power. It appears, .upon the indisputable authority of the Maynooth Professor, that the Church of Rome still maintains that she is the only true Chnrch,-=4bat out of her pale there is no salvation,--that she is it faili- ble,—and that faith-must not be kept with here tics to the prejudice of the Church. If the cha racter and disposition of mankind depend upon' the principles by which they are activated,. it, is im possible that a Church which professes„such prin ciples should be otherwise' than an intolerant, per secuting, and., yrannieal Church,—au irreconeile able foe to civil and religious liberty. The con nection between such principles and such quali ties, and the invariable tendency of the former to produce the latter, must be obvious to every re flecting mind ; but it is so important,- that. the public 'should be aware of the indissoiutility of that connection, and impressed with a sense of the den ger thence neeessatily resulting to the rights, and liberties of a Protestant State, that the follow ing observations taken front the tract dbove al= luded to, shall be submitted to the consideratiOn of. the reader. " Thus does the Church of Rome still maintain ' and inculcate, upon the infallible authority of its general councils; principles, which are at direct variance with both civil and religious liberty, with the obligations of morality, and with the indepen dence of states. Thus does it carefully uphold ,and preserve the two grand pillars of its despotism over. ti -:stied, by te ac hi ng it s members—that it is infallible—and that out or its'pale there is no hope of salvatiOn. Yt is evident that the human _mind, when under the influence of these princi ples, must be completely shackled. The doctrine, .of infallibility shuts the door to doubt, and con sequently to research : while the belief that ont of the Church there is no salvation converts the keenest sensibilities of our nature into invincible prejudices ; and enlists our li ve li est h opes, an d our most agonizing fears, in the firm and,zealouS maintenance of that faith and discipline, on an in variable adherence to which so much is supposed to depend. Bat the above tenets, besides depriv ing the mind of its native freedom, impel those who embrace them to deny 'that freedom to others. Such persons cannot recognize any right to dis sent from their creed, or to seperate from their Church.. They must, if they have any love for their fellow-creatui•es, he intollerant. Ti my must, if they have any feelings of humanity, close, as far as they are able, the avenues ,to eternal destruction. They must, if they To this Tract the Reader is referred for a systematic dii- Y:ussiou of all the leading points involved i n the controversy respecting, the claims of the kapists.

In like Manner, aw.l . under the "same authority of general councj!s, the Church of Rome still in culcates the perfidious principle, that faith is not to be kept with heretics, • to the prejudice of the' Church. That this principte was both avowed and acted upon by the COuncil of Constance; that,it stands recorded as a principle of the Church, on the decrees of that council ; is evident, even hem the schoolThook of the Ataynooth •College : iu which hook it is declired, that general cOuncil4 are infallible. It is true,:-this is no evidence that the.general principle, so often attributed to the Church of Rome, that it is, in all cases, law/1111j violate faith, plighted to heretics, is sanctioned by the Council of Constance, of indeed by any other general council. But the principle, in its qualified' 'sense, as applicable wily to cases where the inte rests of the Church are concerned, is quite sufli cient for all purposes of the present controversy.— It is co-ectensive with all questions that can arise bet‘Veen Roman Catholics and Protestants, as such ; fi)r all such questions do more or less in- • volve the interests of the Romish Church. It is therefore absolutely conclusive against the propo sal so often made to us, to ,admit the members of that Church to a pAlicipation of power ; fol. it prow s that no eupg - euients- into which such per sons may enter, by way of security, to a Protus tan t state,, can, according to the _principles of their restrain - thein from doing every thing in their power, for the • advanceinent Of their own Church, or the overthrow' of an heretical" establish— ment ; since, if' such engagements were so to rem strain them, they would operate " to the preju (lke of the Catholic faith."
