concealing the defect in his leg and foot,' it was necessary that his Lordship should be present. Of course, after he had left. England, it was impossible that it could be done ; still he was desirous of concealing it as much as the cir cumstances he was in would allow, by his manner of managing his dress, by keeping his foot under the table, or by ally ether artifice that at the time he could practise to keep it out of sight. As my intercourse with Lord Byron began before he-hid made himself much known to the world," have been asked to say, as the inter course was unreserved on his part, in what light t o' me while that intercourse con he appeared tinned. w a s first called to hi m soon a ft er th e :publication of his " Hours of Idleness." The business on which I attended him called for much of our attention ; but in the intervals he talked much and freely on literary subjects ; he .mentioned the " Hours of Idleness" as a trifle, and added, that in one of the reviews of the day, he was permitted to write the critique upon his own work. He mentioned the " Edinburgh Review," its critique upon his work, and his determination to answer it, which he had not then done. He gave me the idea of a youth of high talents, who, as a man of rank, would make a great figure in life, though nothing indicated the course in which he . woald engage himself.. He.expressed A settled_ determination never to take any steps towards forming a collection of pictures, or any other works of art ; he said, that all dealers in pictures, &c., made a strong push to get every young man of rank and fortune, when he first entered into ,public life, into their . snares, that they might :. make him their dupe, and plunder him of his property. He declared . his belief that all such dealers, as well as gamblers of every kind, were complete scoundrels, whose object was fraud, and expressed his fixed deter. urination never to have any dealings with them : this determination I believe he adhered to during tle whole of his life. He mentioned his fond ness for, and frequent practice of, swimming ; he said he frequently swam -from Westminster to Chelsea or Battersea, and from either of those places to Westminster, as circumstances might suit. His other pursuits, so far as I was enabled to judge by his conversation, and the appearance of his apartments, were entirely literary. The fact of Lord Byron being obliged to re• linquish even the chances of being cured, be cause he could not publicly wear the instru ments which I then used in the, treatment of such cases, or seclude himself from society so long as would be necessary for the performance of his cure, had its full .effect in stimulating me to improve my practice, so far to lay aside the use of.all or. any instruments in most, if not all the cases of distortion that came under my care, and in this 1 finally succeeded, and, previous to explaining this improvement, I will detail the two following eases : A lady, whose age when I saw her, was 23 )ears, was born with one foot distorted ; no at tempt had been made to. cure it, and, when I first saw her foot, it resembled that of Lord Byron. This lady was independent in her cir cumstances ; she had, or was supposed to have, great musical powers ; she assiduously cultivated them, with a view of employing her talents on the stage, to which her inclination led her, and it was believed that the Powers of her voice would shield the peculiar form of her foot from obser vation ; a .trial before an audience, however, proved that she was mistaken, and that her-de sign must prove abortive,. unless she could get the peculiarity of her foot removed. . . - • I found that her foot exactly resembled the foot of Lord -Byron, and, like his, could cer tainly he cured, if she submitted to the treatment WhiCil I had always employed in such cases ; but I. wag told her lady occupations carried her into such society, that it would be impossible for her to wear any instruments, or any thing else that would add, even in a temporary manner, to the peculiarity of her appearance. I mentioned the de sign I had formed to allempi the cure of such cases without using any artificial instruments; but though I had great hopes, I was by no means certain of success. he determined to give the plan a trial; she had every motive to.try it to its full extent ; I had the strongest motives to effect the cure if it was possible, and she finally determined to place herself under my care. I derived great advantage in the progress of this eteie, (rum the anxious wish of my patient that he cure shouhl be perfect. She was a lady of a very strZing . raiml , with great perseverance ; she continually i ssouired what she could do to promote her own cure, -when my treatment was not going on, which it could Only do when I was present. lam satisfied that, during the whole time (eight months) she was under my cat e, she never made a single step in which she did not endeavour to place and use her foot in the most advantageous manner. Although she had always been encumbered with this foot, she bad, in early life , learned to dance, as other young ladies did ; she nciw practised her dancing strenuously, more e specially the minuet, and from which She derived great advantage. 1 sav this decisively, and in eontempt of the censures-of miserable quack, who h as written to censure. the practice of danc ;rig, as injurious to the , femal e , b ecause I k now , if its really u nderstooithy.these who teach, and those who pract ise at, it is one of th e most ad vantaaeoil4 practices that can be adopt.to d . prove the forn: and action of young pers ons i t is greatly beneficial to this lady. who (We have not room for the case of a boy w was likewise cured by the writer.) • CoNNExteN, The MET/TODI:iT Conference of the Methodist New Connexion, at their la . s.t meeting, - in the Staffordsh i re passed an ad -1 Potteries ,- her of resol utions ex pr es. dress to His Majesty, and a n i m .ive of their approval of his Ministers as regards their con duct ,with respect to the. repeal of the eTeese_tve7l.neror_r_raf_tti)o_n Laws.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 21.) . _ PARIS, SEPT. 20.--The Austrian Observer of the lith contains news from Constantinople, dated 25th August. As it is, for the most part, only a repeti tion of what we gave yesterday, we merely extract the following detils : The Grand Vizier, who set out on the 20th fn Adrianople, takes with him about 8,000 or 9,000 men, but this force will be increased by all the con tingents, which will join him on the road to Shumla, whither he has orders to proceed after his arrival at Adrianople. The Sultan is- resolved to put himself at the head of his army, if necessary. Every thing has been prepared for this purpose, both in and out of the Seraglio, but the moment of his departure will depend upon events. Though the preparations for defence are carrying on by several tho►isand worknii.n out of the capital, the same activity is exerted to terminate the import ant and costly erections of two barracks at Scutari and Tschengelkoi, of a palace for the Sultan at Beg lerbei,.and of a marine barrack on the island of Hall L A new indication, says the Observer, of the spirit that prevails at Constantinople since the military re forms in 1826, is the adoption by the Ottoman Go vernment of the principles which have long since been received among Christian nations for the treat- I ment of prisoners of war. On the representation of the Austrian leternuncio in favour of the Russian prisoners confined in the Bagnio, they were sent, on the 18th, on board several vessels to the Island of Halki, ►vhere they were placed in a Greek Convent. The Reis Effendi afterwards acquainted M. d'Otten fels that it 'was the express will of the Sultan that the prisoners should be treated with mildness, that bet ter food should be given them, and permission to take exercise in the open air; and that they should be left at liberty to perform the duties of their re ligion. Argiropoulo, formerly Dragoman of the Porte, and Hephanaki Vogorides, late Caimakan of Moldavia, have been recalled from their banishment at Broussda. The first has at present no employ ment; but the second, at his own request, will follow the Grand Vizier to the army. (From the Constitutionnel.) EMBARRASSMENTS OF RUSSIA. PARIS, SEPT. 20.—Europe saw the Russians sur mount the obstacles opposed to their passage of the Pruth and the Danube with great courage and skill. These successes appear to have inspired the Rus sians with a dangerous confidence. Varna, which flatters the Ottoman pride, is reminding the Turks of the victory of Amurath over Ladislaus, King of Hungary ; Aquila, which the first time opposed an invincible resistance to Russian valatir, seems to hard been invested with too small aCOrps to ensure success. If reinforcements do not speedily come, or should not be sufficient when they have arrived, whatever may be the results of retreating behind the Danube, Russia will be wise enough to return thither. On that line the Turkish frontier is studded with fortresses. It seems that the Rus , ians at first, in order not to waste time, thought of masking these places by detachments; the force of the. Turkish garrisons did not permit them to follow this plan; the vigorous sorties made by the garrisons of Varna, Silistria, Giurgewo, and the success of the Paella of Widdin, have slwwn the disadvantages and dangers • which might ensue. The campaign began late ; the earth, soaked with rain, rendered marching difficult—the carriage of the provision and ammunition was slow. To get over the diffieultles • they must first reach the plains of Romelia, and it was necessary to get there. Meal mixed with water and boiled h the food of the patient and sober Russian soldier. • A bag holds mealffir 15 days, but when the army separates from its magazines this resource is soon exhausted. The Turks have shown themselves in this campaign what they have lieen, since the weakness and tile—incapa city of the Sultans have reduced them to a defensive warfare, very formidable behind a wallor any species of rampart, however defective. Other interests, not less pressing than those of the Turkish war, admo nish Russia to withdraw her forces to a line not so distant from her southern dominions. In Austria, a Military movement in general, xvithont having con tracted openly an alliance with Turkey, has an old connection with it, and may enter into new views not favourable for Russia. The Poles consider every thing as transitory, which has not for its basis their independence. This thought is the last hope of those who are subjected ro a forei g n yoke, and for 360 years such a thought united the Greeks of the islands to those of the Continent. Three centuries and a half of se v ere slavery have not broken this inde structible bond. At the sight of the Austrian guns drawn up in the public squares, at the watch word of the barbarous centiuels, placed 20 paces from each other, in the streets of Milan and Venice, the Venetians and Lombards bow their beads, and pass on, bat at the bottom of every Ita lian heart these words of one of their poets remain and ferment. "Schiari skim si, ma saiavi ognor frementi." (Yes, we are slaves, but slaves always chafing). The slavery of the Poles is not more re. cent than that of the Italians, and the love of inde pendence is perhaps more lively on the banks of the Vistula than on those of the Adige. When Europe fights-for the restoration of Greece, what Sarmatian does not form generous wishes for the restoration of the country of Lesko Boleslaus, Casimir, and So bieski. Princess Eliza Radzevill, who has married Prince William, the son of Frederick William 111., is of the lace of the Jagellons. The pride and pre tension of the House of Sergame, and national anti pathies remove to an uncertain and indefinite dis tance the period when Prussia may become an Ally of Austria. But a common interest may unite them to repair what was not only a crime, but an injury and a fault. Poland was the advanced guard of Eu rope on.the side of Russia and Turkey. Ambition blinded the two Powers which had most interest in so preserving it. How is it that Austria and Prus sia, row become equitable and prudent because they are threatetieJ, do not unite to repair the evil ? The Polish army, forty thousand strong, has yet many veterans in its ranks, their young comrades are filled with ardour; by the Polish Constitution,, they cannot he etriploy i etl abroad, and the charaete of Constantine is Pule calculated to malts slavery ' agreeable. If the policy of Germany should do that for Poland wiiiid; Russia has done for Greece, the results would .be similar, 4nd flussia is not ignorant of this. - To make war, much money and provisions I as well as large armies, who do not live on air, are necessary. In Countries easy of access, and well cul tivated, invasions may i)p raised, arid one or two vic tories decide th e quest i on ; b ut it and not so in poor countries, such as that where Russia is now operat ing.

The large space is entered by 11 gates, some being reserved for sorties, and others leading to the streets. The town has been fortified to a great extent since 1806. A branch of the Tekeson, a river which -falls into the Danube, supplieS the town and • camp with water, and fills the ditches. The third a►:d fourth branches serve to inundate the country. At this spot the roads from. Constantinople, Tournovo, and Rasgriul, meet ; and these the Russians have intercepted, a month ago, by occupying positions in the rear of Tchingite-Ken, of Tclranack-Kalessi, Ta-Bournar, Rasgrad, and all the points of the neighbouring moun tains ; so that the besieged are inelosed'in a net of iron. Disease prevails in the Ottoman army, and the heat, which rose this year, at Bucharest, to 40 degrees,-cost the lives of a great numbers of, Rus sians, who, notwithstanding th►s, have remained fir►u in their lines of blockade. _ . __. . • We are positively informed that the Russians are about to resume the offensive. The magazines of Odessa are overflowing with corn, supplies, and pro visions of all sorts. Russia has never had a more numerous assemblage of illustrious persons, nearly all of whom flatter themselves with the idea of passing the winter at Belgrade, and Bujukdere on the. Rosrhorus. It is pretended that that would accommodate every one, with the exception of the Ministers of two Powers, well known for their fa vourable disposition towards the Turks. The plague has entirely ceased at Bucharest, and in the neighbouring cantons. The warlike preparations still continue in Hun gary and'-; Transylvania, without the Russian Go vernment appearing to trouble itself on the subject ; although it must be quite aware Of the plots of our Cabinet, it pretends to see nothing. A merchant, who set out from \Viddin eight days ago, tells us that he saw, -in a square of that city, a huge. pyramid, composed of the heads of Russians, and a crowd of soldiers of that nation loaded with chains. Some were sold as slaves, and others, • fastened like criminals, were sent to Constantinople, bearing the impaled heads of their companions, which were sent to the imperial slaughter-house of the Gralf(l Signior. (From the Journal des Debuts of Saturday.) PARIS, SEPT. 20.—The Sultan probably • exag gerates very much the advantage gained by the gar risons of Shumla and Varna; hut, as we have no thing to oppose to these reports, we will not discuss their details. There is hitherto one incontestable fact, which that since the departure of the Emperor, the chances of war have not been favourable to his armies. The bloody sortie of Varna, the check of Gen. Rudiger, and the retaking by the Pacha of Widdin, shew it sufficiently. Will the return of his Ma jesty, and the arrival of reinforcements, change the face of affairs? We cannot be long without learn ing it. (From the Constittitionnel of Satimhiy-) THE SMUGGLING MONEF. PARI9, SETT. 20.—The monks have hitherto been considered • as persons very hurtful to society, con suming much, and producing nothing. To five themselves from this reproach which is cast on their uselessness, those of Spain have taken to commerce, and, what is is better, to smuggling. Having obtained from the weakness of the King leave to cultivate to- bacco for the consumption of their monasteries, they have by'degrees extended and perfected the culture of this plant, and they have at length had such large crops that they can afford to sell it at much lower prices than the Administration of Tobacco can afford it. In vain has the Excise sought to oppose itself to the increase of this branch of industry ; it has become every day mere considerable, and more lucrative. The Government itself has perceived that it would not he sufficiently powerful to stop its progress, and preserve the monopoly of its Administration. In its distress, it has thought it prudent to call to its assistance the Holy See. Negociations have been commenced with the Court of Rome, and the Apos . tolled Ntmelo, in consequence, has just addressed a Circular to the heads and Guardians of Convents, in which, after reminding them of the different Bulls of the Pope, forbidding monks every species of com merce, he enjoins them to cultivate no tobacco be yond their own personal wants, and no longer to en gage in smuggling. In conclusion, he orders them not to oppose themselves for the future to what the Administration may do in visiting their convents, for the purpose of determining. the state of the to bacco crops.

BODY BY A DOO.-This morning from en early hour, the neighbourhood of the Lambeth road, near the new Bedlam .Hospital, was thrown into the greatest excitation by the extraordinary discovery of a fine female child under the pathway near the ruins, or piece of waste ground .immediately opposite the above Asylum. It appears that a little before six o'clock a large dog was observed by some people who haprened to be pass ing, scratching at the spot, and appeared as if he was after a rat. The persons thinking that to be the fact, urged him in his scent, and after he had mounded the earth about six inches, the people were horror-struck at perceiving the lower extremities of a child ; they instantly caused an alarm, and Mr. HANCOCK, the landlord of the Gun public-house, carpe to to the spot, mul the body of the little inns• cent wag carried to his hoose. Upon e xamination, there appeared to be two severe cuts on either side of the neck, and a bruise on the right side of the head, which leaves no doubtbut the little creature has been barbarously murdered; it is at present almost impossible to tell the age, but it is sup , posed that it was ahont ten days or a fortnight old. Tbe circumstance soon gained circulation in the neighbourhood , and suspicion immediately fell upon a woman name'l Balmarr, residing in Tower-844;0, who about a fort night since wag known to be pregnant, and that she kid been :delivered, but what had become of her infant no Maim could ascertain, although people in the house heard th e infant cry. - In addition to these suspicions, it has been aseertained the woman had not been attended ip her hou se ti e y ,, a a t r iyjnidwif e .

The Gazette de France quotes, indeed, from 'the Austrian Observer, some particulars respecting the de parture of the GRAND VIZIER, for Adrianople, whither he intends to proceed with 8 or 9,000 men, on his route to Shumla, but it is scarcely worth a comment. The same Austrian Journal observes, though-with what truth we cannot un dertake to say, that .the SULTAN has at length come to the resolution of treating the Russian prisoners with lenity. They were also to be left at liberty to perform the ditties of their religion. The Constitutionnel, in a long article entitled Embarrassments of Russia, enters into some curious speculations respecting Poland, to which we refer the reader. His most Christian MA JESTY, it seems, arrived at Paris on the 19th (Friday). An extract from a private letter dated Hermanstadt, Sept. 2, states that the plague had entirely ceased at Bucharest and the neighbouring Cantons. By the Hamburgh steam boat, which arrived thin morning, Papers and Letters to the 19th inst. have been received, but they are entirely void of information from the armies in the East. The following are the only extracts worth giving : OnFssA, race.. 28. A new expedition intended against Bourgas is now pre paring at Sebastopol and Nicolajew.

According to the last accounts from the Head-quarters, at Buzardjick, the Turks had made an attack on our posi tions in the night of the 27th August. CONSTANTINOPI.F., AUG. 2b. Among the most recent measures of defence is, that all the troops which were in the forts of the Dardanelles have been summoned to the capital, so that that side is now open to any attack. This would excite little notice, as the King of England's Speech on proroguing Parliament affirmed, that Russia had engaged not to make any hostile attempt on that side, but the Mussulmen are now disposed to consider it as a certain indication that the Divan has already opened the way to secret engagements with Eng ' land, and ventures to withdraw its troops from that coast, in full confidence th;t assistance will be afforded it in case of need. It is said that the Russian prisoners taken at Eski- Stamboul were all massacred in a fit of rage. Their number is stated at 5 or 600 men. H ERMANSTADT, SEPT.. 3. The late account of the surprise of some Russian re doubts in the camp before Shumla, on the 27th August, seems to be confirmed. According to some accounts which are probably exaggerated, the loss of the Russians amounted t 03,000 men killed, and 21 pieces of cannon. .JASSY, A ITO. 27. A regular post-office is to be established hoe by the Russians, in order to facilitate the transmission of couriers to Berlin, St. Petersburgh, and to the various points upon which our army may be operating. •The exportation of corn having been prohibited has occasioned a considerable fall in price, from which it is now likely to recover, as the necessary magazines for the army had been plentifully supplied previously to the breaking out of hostilities. HAMBURGII, "SEPT. IS. The Courrier de Smyrne, of August 9, says that Lord Cochrane is shortly to return to Greece, with two new steam-boats. Colonel Gordon, who has left the Greeks three times, declaring that he would never return, is ar rived at Napoli di Romania. He brings a considerable sum of money with him, said to be his own private pro perty. In another article, dated Poros, August 5, the same paper announces the arrival of two small French vessels at that port, the one with a sum of 500,000 francs on board, the other with a cargo of gunpowder and other necessary stoles. These supplies are to be delivered over to the President by M. de St. Denys. An American vessel, freighted with provisions and wearing apparel, sent by the friends of the Greeks in the United States, is also mentioned as having arrived. We received this morning the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 16th inst,, from which the fol- lowing is an - extract : BERLIN, SEPT. 10. The idea now generally entertained here of the result of the operations against the Turks is very different from that conceived at the beginning of the campaign. Almost every body is convinced that the Russians will not be able to reach Coostantinople this year, even if they should suc ceed in taking Varna, and all the fortresses on the Black Sea. The season is far advanced, and the navigation of the Black Sea will be next month as precarious ai the cenveyance of provisions and ammunition is difficult, in a country which has no tegular roads, and in which an army is confined to its. , owtt resources. The most expe rienced offieets agree in oPinfoa that operations should be suspended for the present, that the Russian army should leave the sieges of Shurnlai Varna, and Silistria, to take their regular Course, atittmeantime merely maintain its positions, without proceeding to other enterprises, which can only be prosecuted in the good season. The plan oftea pursued with 'success by Napoleon - of pushing forward large misses, without regarding The fortresses and local hindrances in his rear, iv ektieniely hazardous in a country which affords no re aoirree;;.44 is well known to have been a principal cause of the failuie4 the campaign of 1812. It is affirmed that the Russian Army, will now undertake a similar manoeuvre and pass Mount Hallll.llB in a great mass .at one point. It is said that this projeetqs spoken of in our higher cixeles as one of Which the success - sit very dubious. It is aftirmed, however, that all the arrangements are already made, and that as soon as the Emperor Nicholas has reached the army, it will be put in motion to advance in a mass against Adrianople. VIENNA, SEPT. I 1.-Metalliquee, 95-} Bank Shares, 094. We can positively assure our readers that the long-p Ending negotiation respecting the British •i • anti Spanish Claiinshave at length been defint7 tively adjusted ; the amount has been settled, and the mode of payment afriinged. It now only remains for the Spanish Government to raise the money, which we hear is about one million sterling. • We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the sth September. The Paper of the 4th no tices the arrival of the young Queen of POR TUGAL in the following cautious terms : " Since we announced the arrival of the Brazilian frigate Imperatriz in the Bay, we have been informed that there is a distinguished passenger on board of her—the Duchess of Oporto. The Duchess, we understand, is on her way to Leghorn. The Imperatriz is accompanied by the Brazilian► frigate Donna Francesca, Capt. SAUSSQ." Barbadoes and Trinidad Papers, the former to the 2d August, the latter to the 31st July, have been received. The acting Governor had announced tha death of Sir RALPH JAMES WOODFORD, Bart., who seems, by the hand some testimony paid to his memory, to have been highly esteemed by the Colony. The Bar badoes Papers contain nothing of an interesting nature. Letters from La Guayra, of the 20th July, con tain nothing new, every thing was perfectly quiet at that date. The more we reflect on the meeting held at, Maidstone for the purpose of establishing what is - called a Brunswick Club, the more are we as tonished. It is, we are told, for the purpose of expressing attachment to the principles of Pro testant ascendancy in Church and State that this Club is to be established ; and there is a good deal of silly rhodomontade about defending the Constitution from the encroachments. of Popery, and about dying in the trenches, &c. But we really think it is a pity to expend all this good eloquence and patriotism in favour of the Con stitution, without first seeing if there are any enemies to attack it. The -declaimers at this meeting profess great admiration of the Revolu- Ition of 1688, and of the principles which seated the House of Brunswick on the Throne. Now, we would ask, were these the principles of ex , clusion—was not equality of civil rights the basis of that Revolution ? What is it then alarmists dread from the extension of civil rights to the suifering CatholicS? Do they mean to say that our free Constitution cannot exist except in the degradation of the great majority of the Irish people ? What a libel would this be on our Constitution ? and if this were true—if the Ca-. tholics and our Constitution were natural and eternal enemies—if the one could not be esta blished but on the ruin of the other, then we mast for ever nourish, in the very bosom of our community, the consuming fire of religious dis cord. We hear much of Protestant ascendancy, which. is a vague and not a very constitutional phrase. The Protestant is the religion by law established. But where is the necessity that Protestants should greedily monopolize all offices of distinction and emolument. Is this religion ? and is this the nature of the Protestant religion —that pure and reformed faith—that it must grasp at the exclusive possession of wealth and honour, and that it must trample down, without remorse, all other c ompetitors in this worldly race ? This really gives a most spiritual and en gaging portrait of the Protestant religion, that wherever it is establiShed it must grind down all other sects by the iron hand of power ; and ,this is falsely called the British Constitution. In the Catholic countries where that religion is esta blished, we do not see Protestants excluded froM power—we do not see the Catholic governments claiming any ascendancy for Catholics in the civil business of society, nor excludit : , nr Protest ants from civil or military offices merely because they do not believe in transubstantiation. Is it not astonishing, therefore, that this free and en lightened country should contain such an obsti nate mass of bigotry that it will not yield to any argument drawn either from reason, religion, or from the doctrines of liberty ? 'Nay, it endea vours, by a most singular perversion, to disguise the most odious intolerance under the cloak of these spediou s names. The enemies of freedom and toleration in Ireland would fain persuade us that they are friendly to freedom / 01 , A toler a ti on i n th e abstract, and they talk of the revolution of 1688 ; but far from imitating or imbibing in any degree the spirit of that immortal precedent, they actually extract the only evil part of it, for unhappily nothing human is unmixed with evil, for their example and imitation ; they have no eye to dis , cern the real beauty 'which shines forth in' that glorious example of freedom and of equal right' but in theii purblind and prescribed intellect they carefully pick out the only defect that can be found in this -grand constitutional picture for their enthusiastic approbation. The revoo ° of 1688 is a beacon placed on the rocks of iry tolerance, to point out the danger to all W e ; political mariners ; but so completely do they confound all reason, that they totally mistake the nature of the signal, and with their eyes °P. er ' if they had the command of the vessel, they or° l ' id founder it upon the fatal shore. We are told 110,1 the Test and Corporation Acts formed the but, wark of the Church. This bulwark is now with drawn ; and what new dangers 'have arisen ti threaten the Church ? Is not the Chuieh a 4 se, cure as ever ? And can any thing then more deo': demonstrate the folly of this continual outcry as if the Protestant establishment Could note is without oppressing other sects ? The goitleglel of Kent may establish the Brunswick• but they cannot reverse the eternal princip le of justice nor stop their progress.
