The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 5 minutes past 3 o'clock. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1135. Letters and papers from Madrid, to the I :cith inst., have been recieved. Their contents arP. extremely im portant, though not of a decisivP character. The Count De Las NAVAS was n Madrid, and as the reports ran in that capital, had been presented to the QUEEN by Mr. Vi_ILIERS. For some cause, for which we can disc ..:over no adequate reason, M. MEN DIZABAL refused to see him, or to take the slightest notice of kils presence in the metropolis. On the morning of the 17th a courier arrived in Madrid, with intelligence that the Carlists iii Catalo nia had been encountered and utterly defeated by the QUEEN'S troops. Four hundred were killed, and a great number were made prisoners. Of the Carlist lancers one hundred and fifty are said deserted and joined the Constitutional standard. By this victory the QUEEN'S troops are put in the peaceable posses sion of all Catalonia—hitherto the stronghold of the Usurper and his army. The Royal Decree, for the more general suppres sion of the convents and monasteries throughout Spain, refered to in The Sun of Saturday, is dated the 11th inst. As it proves to what an extent the desire of Church Reform prevails in the most Catholic coun try in Europe, we have much pleasure in giving it a place in our columns " 'ROYAL DECREE. " Although by my Royal decree of the 25th of July last I have applied tiY J remedy which I thought required by the serious evils caused to religion and the state by the exis tence of so ;navy monasteries and convents through the ab sence of t}.ie number of individuals necessary for the obser vance of religious discipline, the representations that have been addressed to me from various parts of the kingdom, have caused me to consider a more extensive reform as ur gent and indispensable. There is a monstredts diproportion between the number of the existing reonastaries and con vents and the resources of the nati;, n , Most of those mo nastries are useless to the v.:ritual wants of the faithful, and besides it behoves tide welfare of the State that the immoveables of the monasteries be restored to circula tion, in order to al..gment the resources of the country and open new sourerA of wealth. I have, therefore, deemed it proper to decree the following in the name of my august daughter ;-- " Art. 1. All - monasteries of the monastic orders are sup - pressed, from this moment : those of regular Canons, Saint Benedict, the Congregations of Tarragon and Sara gossa ; those of St. Augustin, whatever be the number of monks, and other religious persons, they consist of. " Art. 2. • The monasteries of the order of St. Benedict, of Monserrar, in Cataloni a ; St. John de la Pena, St. Bene dict, of Valladolid ; St. Jerome, of the Escurial and Gua dalupe ; St. Bernard de Poulet, Cartijos tie Paular, St. Basil, of Seville, are excepted from this measure, if now open ; but witb, the prohibition of receiving the vows of the novices they may contain. The immoveables and revenues .14 those monasteries shall be applied to the mo nastic revenues, like those of the suppressed monasteries. " Art. G. With respect to the other convents maintained by my decree of the 28th of June last, only one of the sami, order shall be suffered to exist in each village and its territory, unless where a rural population may form part of the territory of a capital, and when the Government may retain the convent until the establishment of a parish. " Art. 4. Various Prelates having invited me to sup press their convents, although maintained by the decree of the 25th of July, I reserve to myself the suppression of all such as respects whiCh a similar measure may be solicited either by the local Prelate and the two-thirds of the Monks, or by the Municipality of the place, supported by the De puties of the province. Art. 5. The monasteries and convents which, although not suppressed, are for any reason whatever now closed, shall.,rernainelose4 until the Cortes d ec id e upon t h e i r "`'Art. 6. The various` Ministers will immediately despatch • ecessary instructions for the execution of this decree' ; - acing the property.of th e convents at t h e di sposa l o f State.

In the mean.. time they shall receive five reals a day upon the Slaking Fund. You will understand this. ( Signed) " To Don Alvarez Gomez 13ecerra. " Prado, Oct. 11, l8:15." In the can. 4 ,,ai, and throughout several provinces, the r2npte are unanimous in their enthusiastic support of M. MENDIZABAL'S government. The Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO, has given 500,000 reals towards a fund to be expended in the more speedy sup pre6sion of the insurrection in Navarre. This sub scription is regarded by all parties as very important, inasmuch as Don FRANCISCO took no previous part in the civil war, either by word or deed. All the great Officers of State, the principal Grandees of the king dom, and the banking Co:npanies have also subscribed very largely towards this fund. Their example will soon be followed by the middling classes of citizens, and even the poorer people have besought the parish Priests to convey their offerings to the Royal treasury. The following official despatch from the Comman dant of SEVILLE to M. MENDIZABAL is important, because a convincing proof of the attachment of tI ^ c people to the QUEEN'S Government. erenaal EsPI NOSA mistook the spirit whi';;ll animated the army, when he imagined tl"..at it could be brought to em barrass the Government, at a moment when its assist ance was 'necessary to the security of the country. Tht secession of the troops under CANTERO, will teach a lesson to their fellows in arms, which will not " The QUEEN. soon be forgotten : DISPATCH FROM THE COMMANDANT OF SEVILLE TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE. " Excellent Sir—On the Bth I permitted to enter this place four companies of the infantry regiment of Africa and one of the National Guard of Cadiz, with three pieces of artillery ; they stated that they had come from Alcala de Guadacia, by order of Don C. Espinosa, Commander in-Chief of the troops of Andalusia. It was soon known that these troops came under the command of Colonel Osorio, to punish the members of the governing Junta of the province, for having dissolved the Junta and placed themselves at the disposition of the Queen. Such conduct could, not do other than excite the greatest agitation amongst art the authorities of Seville, who all came to me begging me to take measures for the preservation of public tran quillity. To an order from the central Junta, that I should give up the command to Colonel Osorio, I replied by re fusing to acknowledge the authority of this Junta, but added, that if he would consult the Commander-in-Chief of the province, I would obey. Yesterday, the 10th, the popular effervescence increased, chiefly from the circumstance of Colonel Osorio having or dered a review for the evening. The Chiefs of the Na tional Guards came to beseech me not to give up the com mand ; they, joined with the officers of the garrison, pre sented to me the subjoined paper, and declared that at the moment appointed for the review they would muster and force Osorio to desist from his enterprise, as the armed po pulation could not stand in dread of eight hundred men. Public opinion was so excited, and the passion of the people so high, that I feared a catastrophe had I not consented to this proposal. Colonel Victor Sierra was charged with no tifying the state of the case to Osorio, who resisted, never theless, barricaded in his apartment. The house, however, was soon forced open by the door and through the roof. Colonel Sierra took charge of Osorio, who early this morn ing was marched off to Badajoz under escort, but with all the respect due to his rank. The attitude of the citizens was that of an army during the night, but without one disagreeable occurrence. All was appeased by the departure of Osorio. " The four companies of the battalion of Africa together with the national guard, conducted themselves with great spirit and subordination. The first march to the army, which was their destination ; whilst the National Guard of Cadiz returns to that city. Of all these events I have given information to the Captain-General Espinosa, &c. " Dated Sevill e , O c t o b er 11. F . J. OSUNA." Thus every report confirms the triumphs of the Government. Its open foes and its concealed enemies are alike the objects of defeat and discomfiture. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. A change of Ministers is again talked of in the political circles. Whether any desire for such a change has been manifested by the KING, or whether it is to be traced to the intrigues which for some time have been carried on in the Cabinet, 'we are unable to determine. The revolting reveries which so lately disgraced the mansion of amount VIGIER, are in the mouth of every person, and a general cry is raised against every Member of the Government who is known to have assisted at them. The Ministerial Journals are doing all in their power to soften down the reports of the disgusting obscenities which took place at this banquet, but their efforts have only made matters worse, by compelling the Opposition Journals to authenticate their previous statements. MM. Gurzor and PERSIL are highly indignant that the name of the Government should be mixed up with such bestialities, and both have insisted that their colleagues, MM. THIERS and DUCHATEL, should either deny that they were present at this infamous orgie, or that they should furnish proofs of no such indecencies as those complained of, having taken place. As yet THIERS has held his peace, and we understand that his safest course will be to continue to do so, as his participation in the most revolting scenes can easily be proved by the per sons in attendance, whose evidence would obtain the credence of the country. M. PERSIL has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Bons Sens, in which he denies either being present at the banquet, or receiving an invitation to attend ii ; adding, in the most em phatic terms, that what has been reported concerning him is false. We were not aware that M. PERSIL was once mentioned in the reports which appeared on this subject. If he were, it was only inferentially, the banquet being dignified with the epithet of " Ministerial." M. PERSIL, however, goes a step too far, when, in his zeal for the honour of his col leagues, he attempts to cast ridicule on the whole affair. Had the Republicans been implicated in such an abominable proceeding, the Chamber of Peers would have been summoned to investigate it, with a view to the punishment of its detestable authors. If ARMAND CARREL and his brave fellow-sufferers were to amuse themselves with a mock explosion of an infernal machine, M. TIIIERS would be the first to denounce them as the individuals who hired FIESCIII to kill the KING. By them a mock attack on the Barricades would be tantamount to a premeditated butchery of the troops, and an attack upon the reigning dynasty. The case happens to be reversed, and with it we reverse the inferences. The changes in the French Cabinet, which are spoken of as likely soon to take place, include the resignation of M. HUMANN, the appointment of Admiral DUPERRE to the Chancellorship of the Legion of Honour, and the nomination of Admiral DE RIGNY to the office of Minister of Marine. We are of opinion that THIERS and DUCH A TEL will likewise be under the necessity of retiring into pri vate life, at least till the scenes at Grand Vaux are partially forgotten. The Portuguese auxiliaries have entered - Spain. The whole force consists of 6,443 men, 825 horses, and 216 mules. Negociations are on foot to induce the Duke Of TERCEIRA to assume the command of this force in person, instead of committing it to General SERRA O. The result has not reached us ;we only know that the auxiliaries are picked men, well ac quainted with mountain warfare, and abundantly sup plied with necessaries. The following are extracts from the French Papers received this morning relative to the war in Spain• The Ministeral organs are mysteriously silent on the subject : PARIS, OCT. 24. —The Indicatuer, of Bordeaux, has, the following article from Madrid, dated the 10th. " Two days ago M. Mendizabal assembled the principal Grandees and N o bl es ot Spain, and having poin i t e d ou t to THE SUN, LONDON, MON DAY, OCTOBER 26 1 1835. them how intimately theit . existencE *as identified with the ittnlpli 01 1 the young Queen, he called upon them for large pecuniary sacrifice. They having replied that they had no funds, M. Mendizabal, we are assured, engaged to procure them as much as a hundred millions, by means of mortgages on their estates. It is added that all the nobility having ac ceded to this proposal, the one hundred millions will shortly be at the disposal of the Government. It is said that M. Mendizabal had previously negoclated no this subjeet with a company of English bankers. This is speaking to the pur pose. This, it must be owned, is influence. Were such things possible before M. Mendizabal came? Nobody would have dreamt of all this. " The merchants of the capital are also making great sa crifices to organise a corps of three or four thousand men, which will be obliged to maintain tranquillity in the provinces of Madrid. " A corps of 30,000 men is to be formed immediately in the environs of Madrid. The operation of making this levy is confided to General Zarco del Valle, who is famous for his skill in those matters. " The following anecdote has been in circulation for these two days : the old General Castanos said the other day with a smile to Mendizabal- 4 Now, Sir, aided by the popular enthusiasm, you are going to organize an army of 20,000 men at least. I have no doubt of your procuring funds for the purpose.' M. Mendizabal answered, ' I have not a 1)° ,1 • 174 to raise 20,000 men, but to raise 10(y)nn s,, ; mone y sufficient.' " . The Sentinelle an fr , s• • """ the Phare of Bayonne have some news from the ...otter. The most remarkable is that of a confe ":..ee of two hours, which took place on the loth at Larraga, between General Cordova and General Egina, whom Don Carlos has just appointed Commander-in-Chief of his army, and Viceroy of Navarre. After their conference, Egina re turned to Don Carlos. The object of it is wholly unknown. A letter from Perpignan to the indicatemr, says " A most important fact is, that a vvluminous correspon dence was seised en the person of the Count d'Espagne. It is said to implicate several eminent persons of the late Court of Charles X. 180 rebels, taken with the Nero of Cata lonia, offered their services to Mina, who answered, that he could only employ them in the public works at Barcelona.

New Brunswick Papers to the 27th September are this day received at the North and South American Coffee-house. A few weeks ago we published a copy of a petition to Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, on the subject of the sale of Timber Lands. The Royal Ga zette of the 23d contains the following reply : " FREDERICSTOWN, SEPT. 9. " SIR,--I am directed by his Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor to acknowledge the receipt of a petition signed by yourself, and by a number of the inhabitants of the counties of York and Carletown, on the subject of sales of timber lands, which has been duly considered by his Excellency, who, as the petitioners have justly stated, has no other object in view than that of securing and promoting the prosperity of the colony and the welfare of the inhabitants ; but, with regard to the sales of land already made, his Excellency has good grounds for the opinion, in which he believes several of the petitioners themselves will join, that they will prove highly beneficial to the general interests of the province. At the same time, it is very gratifying to learn from the petitioners themselves, that each successive exploration brings to view groves of pine, the existence of which had not been previously known ; thereby giving the appearance of a continuance of that trade to which is principally to be attributod the present prosperous condition of the county. (Signed) " W. M. F. ODEL L." The view taken of the Irish Church question in the article in the London Review, which we quoted on Thursday, has the good fortune, it appears to us, of being not only the most sound and enlarged, but also that which is best calculated to find favour with the greatest number of those who at present lean to the contrary opinion. It directs the mind to measures of the utmost importance, consequent on the reduction of the present revenues of the Irish Church, and recom mends the change, not merely as required by an ab stract principle of justice, or rule of proportion, but as the preliminary to a great improvement in the religious government of the Irish people. At the same time it is one, in a great part of which the most sincere advo cates of the other side agree ; for it admits with them the propriety of a State provision for the religious instruc tion of the people. It recognizes the utility of eccle siastical endowments, and the evils of the voluntary principle. But it shows that the maintenance of the exclusive Protestant Episcopalian Establishment in Ireland, is repugnant to every argument on which the defence of Church establishments is usually rested; and that the position in which the Clergy of the poor and ignorant majority of that nation is placed, subjects that country to the practical operation of the volun tary system, in the very worst form, and under the most unfavourable Circumstances in which it could be tried. Instead of being allowed to link the abuse of the Irish Church to the affection with which th Church is regarded in England, the advocates of its maintenance in its present form are shown to be in the most palpable collision with the very principles on which alone religious endowments can be upheld. The support of the Irish Church by the Conserva tives has always appeared to us one of the most convince ing proofs of the little knowledge the members of that party possess respecting the real purpose, the strength, or the utility of the institution, for which _some of them feel so unthinking, and others affect so hollow a reverence. If they valued a Church esta blishment for its influence on the moral and religious condition of a nation, they would . lament that the in stitution which bears that name in Ireland, really pro duces none of the desired effects. If they rightly felt the absolute necessity of such an institution to a poor and rude people, instead of obstinately maintaining, they would cry loudly for the removal of a system which precludes the Irish people from advantages, of which unhappily they stand so much in need. For the great evil of the present system is, that it deprives Ireland of all the benefits of a state provision for the religious instruction of the poor. Nowhere is such a provision more required—nowhere is it more com pletely wanting. The sincere advocates of Church Establishments are those who have reason to complain most loudly of the system, which, under pretence of keeping up a Protestant Establishment, in fact amounts to a privation of any Establishment at all. The great argument for an Established. Church is that founded on the duty of the community to provide religious instruction for those members of its body, who are so poor that their ciwii mdaiis vvodld net enable them to get it. We hear the opponents of tho " voluntary principle" denouncing it as one which would rob the pddr of theif fight to spiritual instruc tion. No people Are so poor as the Irish Catholics no people ) th'erefore 3 retliiire so urgently an interference of this kind on the part of the gtAte iii theif Yet to this people you altogether deny the benefit which you rate so high. By offering them a species of instruction, which you know they will not receive, in a religion, which you know to havt no authority over them, you deprive them of any public provision for their religious teaching. You divert from this destination funds originally bestowed with an express view to their being so employed. And for whose behalf do you so divert it ? For that of the wealthy, powerful, and enlightened body of Epis copalian Prbtestants. You take it from the poor majority to apply it to the rich minority. Such is the contrast between theory and practice. A State provision for the religious wants of the community is defended as a measure of justice to the poor. Here a dispute arises about the means of such a provision, be tween the very poorest population, whose ignorance and lawlessness in every part of Europe crave a supply of its spiritual wants, and one of the richest sects, whose means and inclinations are such that the volun tary principle might be counted on with safety for the fullest provision for its own clergy. You provide for the rich : you leave the poor wholly unprovided. You abandon the many, who need the care of the State, to the chances of the " voluntary system." You waste your endowments on those who comparatively need them not. But though we use this argument against those who take this view of the " voluntary system," and who are justly liable to this personal argument, drawn from the glaring inconsistency between their principles and their practice, we must say that we entirely concur with the Reviewer in thinking that the charge of leaving any portion of the people wholly unprovided with reli gious instruction, is not one to which the system is justly liable. Of the energy of the " voluntary prin ciple" in providing an ample extension of clerical su perintendence and religious teaching, the maintenance of the Irish Catholic Church by its poor members is itself the most striking and unanswerable proof. The deficiency of the " voluntary principle" is not in the quantity, but in the quality of the religious teaching which it supplies. The danger really to be appre hended from leaving the clergy dependant on the gene rosity of the laity, is that of the disposition which it gives the clergy to stimulate that generosity by the arts of fanaticism or superstition. If Church Establish ments are not exactly desirable, according to HUME'S celebrated, but rather disrespectful, phrase, as a means of " bribing the indolence" of the clergy, at least their utility greatly consists in regulating the exertions of that body, in lifting it above the necessity of a constant dependance on the excited zeal of its flocks, and in giving it a disposition to check, rather than to promote, the unfortunate tendency of religious fervour to the extremes of fanatical dogmatism or superstitious ob servances. No people in the world is unfortunately placed in a social position which lays it more thoroughly open to the arts of a priesthood, than the people of Ireland. No religion has a stronger tendency to be perverted into a mass of mere superstititious rites than the Catholic religion. And no priesthood is placed in a situation which gives it a greater interest in working to the utmost this evil influence over this ignorant people. The authority, which the state does not up hold, and the subsistence, which it does not afford, are to be acquired by the personal exertions of the priest. And as the debasements of the human mind, and the frequency of superstitious ceremonies afford the surest means of obtaining influence and extorting fees, these are the means to which the priesthood of Ireland are induced to resort for their maintenance. The extreme poverty of the people renders it necessary to make the pressure more severe. All accounts continue to give us a lamentable view of the working of the Catholic religion in Ireland. All the evils of the most de grading superstition seem to be forthd combined with but few of the benefits of Christianity. The clergy of the national faith, degraded ar:d neglected by the Go vernment, rests only on the support of the national ignorance ; and fosters that ignorance which is the fatal enemy of law, of civilization, and of industry. Thus, again, where the beneficial influence of a State provision for the religion of the people is most required, it is withheld. The wealthy members of the Protestant Episcopalian Church, a Church of all in the Christian world the least likely to run into any ex treme of fanaticism or superstition, are protected against both by ample endowments. The Presby terians, whose clergy are akin, and habitually, if not legally subordinate to the well-ordered and intelligent Church of Scotland, are guarded by the public bounty. It is the mass of the people, the poor, the ignorant, the lawless, who are left exposed to the operation of priestly influence wielding the Catholic religion, the most potent engine of moral subjugation that the wit of man has ever devised. The educated few enjoy without needing those ecclesiastical revenues, which ought to be employed in shielding the defenceless many from the worst evils, which have ever been attributed to the " voluntary system." Nor, again, is there any country in the world, in which the subordinate advantages of an Endowed Church would be more sensibly felt than in Catholic Ireland. Supposing even that the endowment of the Catholic priesthood were not in anywise to mitigate the evil influence of the Catholic faith, still the mere presence of a body of educated men, enjoying mo derate incomes, but a high and respected station, would be an inestimable benefit to the poor inha bitants of the country. Arid, indeed, this ground of defence has been taken in behalf of the Clergy of the Established Church. But this is a mere fancy. Every day's experience shows us that the good which these gentlemen are, no doubt, well inclined to do, and might otherwise do, is entirely neutralized by the circumstance of their being the Ministers of a religion which, in its present position, is naturally an object of hatred to the people. Their sacred character, instead of ex citing feelings of reverence and affection, renders them odious. Their revenues are at present a subject of collision between every clergyman and every pa rishioner. The man who ought to be the benefactor of the neighbourhood by his example, and the wise ex penditure of a moderate incorae, is either a voluntary or a compulsory absentee, stripped of his income, or spending what he can get of it at a distance : or he l i ves i n a barricaded house under the protection of a military force, and sallies out, ever and anon, to get a portion of his dues by a legal process, which looks like rapine, to seize the last cow of his parishioner, or to take away his life in the attempt. It is idle to suppose that such a beneficial influence as that which we are wont to attribute to the presence of the Clergy of an Established Church, can ever be possessed by that of a dominant creed, which the abhor as heretical, and detest as i n t rus i ve . N o people Clergy can have this influence in Ireland, except the Catholic. This could easily acquire it with the proper revenues ; but these you will not give it. You throw it away on those who cannot use it beneficially. You refuse it to those whom it would invest with the trifgeSt powers of dohig goods and by refusing it you fetichir ins'.tead df a Mean's of fella, only a heavy additional burden The effects of the present distribtitidrl cif the Ecele §idstiehl torennes of Ireland, is in fact a privation of all that is beneficial in Clititch Establishments. By pretending to keep up an - Establishment of a faith dif ferent from that of die people, we are in fact prevent ing its being an Established are keeping up the " voluntary system" in its worst form. The Irish Church is in reality A mere instrument of proselytism. What its value in this respect all - the world pretty well knows. But that is the only character which can rightly be attributed to it. When it affects that of a national Establishment, and attempts to enlist on its side the advocates of a State provison for the religious instruction of the people, it pretends to be that to which it is most adverse, and appeals for support to those who ought most strenuously to urge its reduc tion, as the only means of attaining the end which they desire. Our readers will find in another part of The Star, uri.7.3r the head " Orange Lodges," a Letter addressed to Lord KENYON by Mr. HAYWOOD, of Yorkshire, in which that Gentleman tells his Lordship some home truths, respecting the conduct of a certain officious Orange A gent, who is supposed to be pretty much in the confidence of some of the more zealous and illus trious members of the fraternity. Mr. HAYWOOD says, " when you last wrote to me, your Lordship dic tated brotherly love and good feeling ; if so, why threaten us with cancelling our warrants, and ex pelling us ? We tell you again, my Lord, as we told you before in a printed circular which I drew up at Wakefield, that we had entirely withdrawn our selves from the Grand Lodge, on account of your ex actions and tyranny, by not only compelling our prin ciple, but our money to support it. Your Lordship, in your circular, says nothing about all the Lodges in London having tendered their resignations to the Grand Lodge, except 206, WILLIAM THOMSON, a man of your own. No, this would not suit your Lord ship." We fear the remainder of the epistle will suit his Lordship just as little as this part of it; nevertheless, it is one every way deserving of the reader's attention. "r~~~' ■ . rcc LITERATURE. THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE SCRIPTURES THE GREAT PROTESTANT PRINCIPLE. A SERMON, PREACHED AT LEWIN ' S MEAD CHAPEL, BRISTOL, ON SENDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1833, BY R. BROOK ASPLAND, Browne, Bristol ; Hunter, London; Poole and Co., Chester. This is an excellent Sermon. The author embraces the opportunity afforded by the celebration of the tri centenary anniversary of the printing of the first Eng lish Bible, to inculcate upon his hearers the duties incumbent on those who profess to hold the great prin ciple established by the Reformation. That principle he shows to be, not any religious doctrine or system of doctrines, but the sufficiency of the Scriptures, and the consequent right of private judgment. While he does ample justice to the merits of the early reformers in disseminating a knowledge of the Scriptures, he is not blind to the errors into which they were led by their excessive zeal for what they believed to be Scrip tural truth ; and points out, with peculiar force, the consequences of the lamentable departure from their own principles, of which they were guilty, in forcing upon the reluctant conscience Creeds and Articles of human fabrication. At the present moment, when a cry of vengeance has been raised against our Catholic brethren by in furiated bigots, and the celebration of that event which, more than any other, ought to inspire sentiments of brotherly kindness and charity towards all men, has been converted into an instrument for setting man against man, and stirring up the worst passions of . his nature, it is truly refreshing to find a Minister of the Gospel expressing, in eloquent language, sentiments so truly liberal, so much in unison with the genuine spirit of Christianity, as those contained in the follow ing passage : " In behalf of the great and liberal principle of Protes tantism, that principle which we prize as our spiritual birth right, which we assert and justify in defiance of obloquy and contempt from less consistent Protestants, in behalf of that principle which has made us Protestants amongst Protes tants, I call upon you, my hearers, the descendants and representatives of the earliest Protestant Dissenters in the city of Bristol, to join with me in protesting against and re probating, as most unsuitable to the occasion, and disgrace ful to our name and cause, all intolerance and abuse of our Roman Catholic brethren ! " We are right in the sight of man and God to judge for ourselves. We are utterly wrong when we presume to judge for them. To their own master they stand or fall.' Knowing our own fallibility, we dare not be intolerant. We pretend to no advantages which are not equally pos sessed by all who approach the word of God with a dispo sition and desire to receive the truth as it is in Jesus.' Your ministers make no claim to be the regularly ordained successors of St. Peter. Neither your ministers nor your selves dare to appeal to any internal miraculous workings of the Holy Spirit, as a justification of intolerant censures of brethren who differ. When angry zealots claim for their unsparing denunciations, whether of ourselves or others, the asserted sanction of the Holy Spirit within them, our only answer and rebuke must be, in the words of a Christian Apostle, The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. " In this spirit, then, and in this alone, let us observe this day. Armed with this spirit, let us join the Protestant ranks. Let us endeavour to do justice to all. We will not confound the Roman Catholics of the present day, en lightened and improved as they are by the experience of three eventful centuries, with the Roman Catholics of the reign of Mary, any more than we will liken the ministers of the Church of England of the present day (who, unfor tunately, arc not wholly free from the reproach of intole rance), to the Tonstalls of the XVlth, or the Lauds of the XVIIth century. _ " We will joyfully celebrate the anniversary of a day, which three centuries ago saw the full treasures of God's word unlocked and opened to our countrymen. But our celebration shall not be tarnished by unjust censure of any, nor give utterance to the unbecoming language of triumph over others. For myself (and I believe I may add, for my colleague and the members of this Christian congregation), I declare, that if the celebration of this day is regarded as a memorial, merely of the triumph of the Protestant over the Catholic party, I utterly separate myself from all par ticipation in a scheme which has in it more of pride than religion, and more of vindictive party . spirit than of grati tude to God, the common and beneficent Father of all his ehildren. Whenever I see manifestations of such a spirit amongst (nominal) Protestants, I must confess I am smitten with an unutterable feeling of humiliation. Enough, and more than enough in the history of English Protestantism is there without this, to distress and mortify the thoughtful mind, and to subdue every feeling of triumph over our Ca tholic brethren. " It is deeply mortifying to know that the hands of the English Reformers, and of the early Protestants generally, were stained by the blood of persecution. But more mor tifying still is it, at this advanced age of Protestantism and Christianity, to see the same evil dispositions at work that produced all these follies and crimes, and to know that there are those who bear, and who pride themselves in, the name of Protestant, who so little understand or respect the prin ciple of their profession, as to convert the celebration of their possession of the Bible into the means and the occa sion of uncharitableness and hatred."
