Barcelona Journals of their sortie of the 16th. They have celebrated that day as a triumph. They give the pgreatist praise to the battalions of Bar. barn°, the Colonies, and Leom which they say charged with the bayonet. They assert that they captured two pieces of cannon, that they took prisoners, and that they should have obtained a signal 'advantage had they had 'cavalry. During this attack, which commenced by the Fort of Opio, Mina caused himself to be conveyed is the ramparts of Barcelona, from whence he could perceive and follow all the movements. • " There is a talk of new'and verYteriouaengagementa Which took place on the Mb, but the details arc not stated.

We have already expressed our opiniod on the difficulties which. were in the way of. this regularity of proceeding which the Moniteicr fore told of the Regency; we have even priinttd intt some of the obstacles which would delay for a cod- siderable period the introduction of order in the finance's, and consequently prelient the nrganika t iouu of the army.

What hope Caul there be, for o,xaMple, of bringing about the return of order and organhiatirm, if a General undertakes, by a Mere Order of the Day, to ameliorate public opi nion,.and put down the abuses of the press, to provide for 'remounting and clothing the troops, the paymesit of the army and the tribunals; to extirpate the vestige's Of the Constitution, floally, to subject to piiiiishinent those who have manifested Constitutional sentiments by gifts, by actions, by words, or even by soup ?

The of dieheatt. The three operative degrees into which Masonry is divided. seem to have an obvious and apt coincidence with the three progressive states 'of mankind, from the creation to the end of unee, •The first is erribleintitic of Man's suite of natnre, from hii original Disobedience, to the time of God's Covenant with Abraham, and the establidiment of the. Jewish Economy. The second, from that period, to the tern of the last, full, and perfect Revelation from Heaven to Mankind, m a d e by our Great itedeemer e The ti fild comprehending the glorious interval of She Chris= tian Dispensation, thiWn to the Consumniation of all Things. 'Pile state of darkness, or obscurity of the first degree, strongly figures one the darkness of chaos before man's creation ; or the night into which his &dulls faculties were plunged by the fall consequent upon his original transgressiiin. it is also forcibly emblematic of the darkness antecedent to inan'e natural birth; and the pain inflicted at his ini t i at i on , apt ly r e pr e sents hi e pangs, and bitt er sensat i ons, on his entrance into the Lodge of this chequered lif e . Lik e a woeful and benighted traveller, found i n a d reary feeding the hun and hopeless desert, his indigent astidition suggests to him th e forlorn an d h e lple ss s i tua tion of m an i n a state of nate e e; teac h e S him the value of niutual goeilsiffices; and - directs him t o ex t e nd t h at relief it to others, which he then so much wanted biniself—by comfortin_g the allotted, merit lie is brought to t h e li g h t o f the world, and the grY, and covering the . naked with a gar light ,or knowledge, by the help of others.

His Lodge is described to him as an universal wile derness wherein he Antifamily associates with his brother men, upon the highest hills, or iu the lowest willies s die green grass its pavement ; the canopy. of Heaven its covering.. As the darkness of heetheeiiin, or natural religion, precede 4 the divine revelation vouchedsafed to the favourite people of Geld; so, by . our initiation the) .the second degree we advance still farther into the dawn figured out by the Mosaic dispenea. don; which preceded the more perfect Light of Christian Day. Here the novichite is brought to behold and handle tools of a more artificial and ingenious construction and emblemitic of sublimer moral truths. By these ke.learns to reduce rude mat e ter into due form and rude manners into the more perfcct shape of moral and yeligious rectitude ; becoming thereby a more harmonious *dished stone in the structure of hurnen 'eociety, until heels made a glorified and lively Steno in the Temple of God, nuide without hands, eternal in the Heavens. .. IlenCe, therefore, be it understoede that a Free Meson should consider the whole Terrestrial Globe as his Lodge, end thereby instructed, consider all Mankindas Mit Brethren . —embracingthe whole human race, without distinction of Religion or Country, in the Arms of Universal Benevolence. Hence lie learns to view the Earth as one great Temple of the Deity—with its length due East and West, as marked by the sun's course in the Zodiac; and to conteniplai-e every human heart, as an Altar burning with incense to the Grand Architect of .the Universe. Brethren, you are all wise Mester Builders—your foundStion Is on the Rock of Agei—learti therefore to apply. the square of justice teal your actions, the level of humility to your brother men: and by the plum line of fortitude to support yourselves through all the dangers and Affliction* of this mortal state. We ate too apt to fall short of our duty e It is therefore the Inure necessary that we should have the rule of our life cone stantly in vjew —we should neve r lo se s i g h t of' the ancient land marks of our order ; lest confusion should overtake us, as it . once did th e uns kilf u l b u ild ers of old ; but let each of us pree serve" the white Stone and the new name written on it, which none knoweth save he that receivedi it." • • he • - - This is the outline, of the, Alasoni c Economy ; of that argon which h a i b een justly Compared to the Equilateral triangle -7 the perfect en)lijem of universal harmon y, _ and the mast sll- Mime synibol of t h e incomprehensible Deity ; whose radiant throne may we ull heretifier encircle with Bongs a Praise> in that .Ikage iihiCh Shall never be closed 2 It is, perhspi, a sing u l ar co i nc id ence that on the same even ins, at the Methodist Chapel of this town, the Rev, Mr. without the least previous arrangement, preached a most ex cellent sermon on the above subject; we believe Mr. (Mire is not a Freemason but every good man builds upon the td foufoundation..{e imi arlow ilforitiog Post, dugue 4.) -
