FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FF.E.Neft PAPERS. (From. the Messager des Chambres, Nov. 26.) BLOCKADE Or THE DARDANELLES. PARts, Nov. 25.—The following is the Circular addressed by Vice-Admiral the Count de Heyden, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian ' squadron in the Mediterranean, to the Officers commanding the ships of war of the Neutral Powers in the Levant " On board the Azqll7 Oct. IS, 1828. Sig,—The Einpiororiy:',2Viigust Master, with the in tention-of obliging the OttornanPorte to a speedy and solid peace, and of .putting, ,as soon as poisible, an end to the calamities whic h the present war might occasion if it was obstinately prolonged, has resolved to make his naval force co-operate en this object, which is no less the object of the constant wishes of his Majesty the' Emperor; than of the well known desire of hiS Allies. He has in consequence ordered me to put and declare in a state of blockade the Dardanelles and Constantinople ; and to prevent all arrivals of provisions and other articles generally introduced under the name of, contraband of war, on board Turkish ships or neutral ships. " The ordinary and positive laws of maritime nentra lity which impose upon neutrals the obligation to respect every effective blockade, gives to the powers who form it the legitimate right to enforce it rigorously and without exception. His Impel ial Maje Sty, always faithful to his promises to cause the least possible injury to the commerce of neutral nations, authorises his squadron : " 1. To permit all neutral . vessels 'to enter the Dar danelles and Constantinople, which' shall -submit to be searched, and which shall not have on board either' contraband of war, or anYethei‘ article which might serve to provision the capital' of the 'ErnOre. " 2. To permit all vessels, coMing.froin Constantinople and bound to Europe,,to.,come out without 'interruption, unless they 'have on board trimps ;. military stores, or provi sions, for the places situated in the limits fixed by the three Courts in the 'Treaty of the'ilth July. " 3. Not to employ force, except at the' last extremity, against neutral vessels :which may'attempt *to - avoid being searched, or to violate the blockade. " Conformably to theie exceptions, which will doubtless - be appreciated by the European MerchantsVice-Admiral Ricord, who commando the squadron appointed to blockade the Dardanelles, has received the most positlie 'orders ''to cause the greatest delicacy (mgards) to be - obSekted . in 'the search of neutral vessels, and to employ force milt against' those who, contrary to the law of nations, and not-With standing the risk to which they would expose - themselves, ,should attempt to violate the blockade, or at least to elude it by means of boats. " " I must, therefore, request you to he so good as to give the greatest pliblicity . to this Measure; and to give no tice of it to those merchants who • carry on the Levant trade, under the flag of your august Sovereign, and who might engage in speculations for the impose of supplying the capital of the Ottoman empire with' provisions or am . munition. " I further announce to Ton, with infinite pleasure, that in consequence of the efficacious rneasures taicen in concert by the Powers who signed. t. , 1,1e Treaty of London; "the Alorea has' been, entirely.,*.taie4 by G tlie s l.ifrkisli and Egyptian. troops, and 'tut Fot*cinenee the blockade of that peninsula is entirely raTiOOtryl tli tt henceforward neutral merchants wikfind a ready' mirket in those ports, which a terrible contedliarfOideiinisny fears rendered as it were inaccessible,..jteceive , " (Signed) Count de HEYDEN."

About the end of this month,, a convoy of ves sels, with a great quantity of provisions for the army, will sail from this port for the Morea, The transports which come from Navarin and Alexandria are to carry freSh troops to Greece. It is even affirmed that they will sail before the• • expiration of their quarantine. _ (From the Constitutionstel.) PARIS, Nov. 262—The Dinette is'quite enraged at an article on the irtiolvency.Of Spain. It wishes that we should be brought before the Courts for calumniating the Spanish Government, which, it maintains, is prudent and careful. We and the great bankers are described as jealous, because we have no part in the prize; and our article is said to be only intended to lower the stock, that we may profit by the depreciation. Our crime lies in having called the Government of Spain a bankrupt,. which we share with the whole of ,Europe. We have only done what all the Journals did when the Cacique of Poyais wished to raise a loan at London—described the paper issued as just worth what it eost as paper. But it would be painful to dwell longer on the sub ject of Spain—a country - favoured by nature, which ought to be a terrestrial paradise, and support thirty millions of people, and which has only nine—which ought to be among the first Powers of Europe, and which is one of, the last. Unhappy country ! for which we have spent 300 millions (francs), in order to reforge its chains and place it again in the clutches of the vultures who are preying on its : vitals; Fionicti Ft, N MIS, • Nov. 26.—Rentes, Five per C en t. 1081. 15e.; Three per Cent., 80c.. 85c. ; B a nk Actions, 18471. 50c. 1850 f.

FROM THE RHINE, Nov. 14.—We under stand that Mr: Wrrr, commonly called M. VON DONING, intends to leave Weimar for France, and to publish there a ne w work -iu favour of Brunswick, with respect to its litigation with Ilanover,-th f .materials of which have been intrusted to him, as it is reported, by a high quarter. On Monday last a fallow, was exposing hi s feet (which were in a high st a l e a d • tame, and disgusting to look at) - in the neighbourhoodof Norfelk.crescent, in order to excite compasaion, when a gentlema n who resided there desired him to mo ve off. This, howeve r , h e re f use d to do, and accompanied his re-ftwal with a volley of the most horrid imprecations. Upon the gentleman insisting that be should go about his business, the miscreant drew long knife from his- pocket and made a desperate lung e at him, which, had it,taken effect, would in all probability have proved fatal. lie was instantly taken before the M al a gistrateF, and the gentleman; no t pressing any .or charge against him, he was sentenced to three twenths' prisonment at Shepten. 7 —Both Herald. • Leicester owes muc h of its vivacity to its centrical position, and the immense number of coaches and conveyances which pass through it north, south, east, and west. About sixty years ago, one Manchester and one Leeds or Sheffield coach reseed in each direction, north and south. These were not only adequatr for the personal conveyance of the extreme towns, but also served the.wants of the intermediate places; consequently, at that juncture, the inhabitants of Leicester had only two daily chances, and these of course were contingencies, of getting a place for London, or to any of the intervening towns. There is a credible tradition still in existence, that shortly ante cedent to this epoch a Leicester coach was established from thence to Landon. It was drawn by six hover, with a Million on the - leaders, awl strange—passing atrange -vow to relate—the passengers slept two nights on the journey, namely, at Northampton and Dunstable, and it reached its destination on the third evening.— which event once , or poss ibly t w i c e This convey a O ce, a week, i t i s supposed, was 'discontinued for want of sufficient encouragetnent. The first Manchester coach undertook, " God willinto deliver passen. gets and parcels in Londott on the fifth day from its departure front Manchester. In point of velzeity the contrast is extraordinary, nay, as te3 " i shi"g ; that shoat occupied three days, is now easily effected in 12 hours, and lissome cases less; and that which then requiredfive days, now s e idonrtakes more than 22 hours. At the Period re ferred to, the only lines of stag e-coach conveyanc e were limited to those abovernentional--namely, north and south, London, Blanchester, and Leeds. Soveral years elaps e d" before any lateral lines wer e estabiWxd, and before the former ones bad any mater i al incre= .of public convenience. There are jar at least twelve daily cpporz. tunities of going to London, ,fia - e to Manchester, five to BirtnirOam, three to Sheffield and Leeds, six to Not tingham, two to Derby, independently 4' the Manchester coaches, and two to Stamford; in short, there are a daily entrance and departure of between forty and fifty stage coaches, for the conveyance of p ersons and parcels.—Sir Richard Phillips's Personal Tour. LITERATURE. THE GEM. LONDON, 1829. This is another of the tasty fraternity of the Annuals, and does infinite credit to Mr. Hood, its Editor. This gentleman is already favour ably known to the public as the Prince of Punsters--indeed ice can never hear one made without . instantly recalling to our minds his irresistibly laughable Resurrection story —but he has here shown powers of a far loftier and more intellectual - character : and in .his poem, entitled " Eugene Aram's DreaM," has put forth a display of power which few, if any, of our modern poets can equal, cer tainly not surpass. We - recommend these very impressive stanzas to the perusal of all who love to see the human mind laid bare by a searching process of moral anatomy, not unlike that which they so much admire in Shakspeare. Let Mr. Hood only forswear the verbal vulgarities of Cockaigne, its maudlin taste, absurd enthusiasm, and consummate impudence, and stick to what is really valuable in literature, to a fine manly mode of expression, a discrimi nating sense of the beautiful in nature or art, and a generous sympathy with the feelings, not the conceits of the human heart, and we are convinced he may yet win a high rank, if not the highest, among our present race of poets. His Eugene Aram, is worth a thousand displays of poetic prettiness. The remainder of the contributions to the taste and . judgment ; GeM" are .replete with but one. by C. Lamb, " On an Ithnt," is of a'superiof order of style and thought. We re gret that our limits prevent us from extracting it. As regards the embellishments of this amus ing Annual, we may speak in unqualified terms of praise. The " Widow" does as much honour to the engraver, as it has done to the pencil of Leslie, its painter. The Temptation on the Mount," too, is striking, as are all Martin's works—with this single drawback, that the chief characters in the ,illustration are wholly lost sight of, in order that more ample justice may be done to the mountains and the distant cities and landscape, in which Mr. Martin so pre-emi nently excels. On the whole,, this Annual is equal to any ofits rivals. MR. MONTGOMERY'S POEMS. We have spoken in terms of well-merited commendation of Mr. iklontgomery's last volurne of poems, and are glad to perceive' that it has already reached a second Edition. The first was in quarto, but this is in a more convenient size, being uniform with his sub• lime poem on the Omnipresence of the Deity, to which it is a worthy compa . nion. Mr. Montgomery's ambition, like his muse, is of the highest order. He is not ; content to tread the comi-non path of celebrity, but aspires, in his own emphatic langna;ge, To have his glory mapp'd upon the chart Of Time, and be immortal in the truth And offspring of a lofty soul ; to build A montiment of mind, on which the World • May gaze, and round it future Ages throng,..-.- Such is the godlike wish, which his Ambition dares, and Hope secures him all ! Th following spirited extract is from his Poem on Death—it is truly descriptive of THE YOUNG POET. Upon the mountain, with thy glowing cheek, And soul ontlooking from the lifted eye, As if it glanced the beauty of a thought,— Why, who art thou, undaunted by the storm In rolling anthems found thee gather'd? Clouds Swell black, and underneath the Ocean roars As though her waves were all to whirlpools lash'd ! Yet caoopied with thunder, there thou stand'st, Until the storm of genius whelms thy soul, And trembles through thy being ! Art thou not A Spirit tempest-born, and on the rock Ecthroned, to parley with the thunder-peals? Thou wart not moulded for the selfish world; Too lofty and too full of heavenly fire E'er to be measured by ungifted minds, Whom glory bath not raised. Ambition roek'd Thy cradle, genius all thine infant soul Etherealized, and in the rich-orb'd eye The rays of thought and inspiration pour'd : Before the tongue a budding thought reveal', Imagination dallied with thy mind, And sent it playing through her airy realms ; But when the man upon thy forehead bearn'd, Impassion'd creature then thy race began ! . Feelings of beauty and of deep delight Flow'd from the countenance of this fair earth Into thy %mai, wherein a second world Was shrined : for thee inspiring Nature glow'd And warm'd thy fancy, like a dream from heaven.— Thor). lov'st her mightiness, bee glorious mien ! Whether she loose her ocean zone, and let The waves abroad, or hang the sky with storms, Or hail thee in her thunders !—or at eve, When vocal breezes sound, like viewless birds Of melody, call thee to witneoo how The laarshall'd clouds attend th' imperial Sun Unto his throne of waves,—alike divine She seems.--And not alone does Nature 'trance Thy senses into wondering awe; but all That men admire, by geniu.s or by art Created, swells the homage of tin/ heart.

Fortunately the thieves overlooked two gold watches, which were de posited in the same drawer of the wardrobe from whence they abstracted the other property abovementioned. ...... ..74.,._,...,.. , €*,,,1411. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1829. REPORTED DEATH OF DON MIGUEL. It has been very confidently reported this afternoon, in certain quarters, that Don MIGUEL died of -inflammation consequent upon his late accident, and that his mother was declared, or de clared herself, the ruling Queen. If both these reports should prove correct, the public will not be more glad at the first than sorry at the se• cond. At any rate, the cause of the Usurper is on its last legs in Portugal. The Gazette of last night contains the extract of a letter from Capt. -LYONS, of his Majesty's ship Blonde, to Vice-Admiral Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's squadron in the Mediterranean, dated off Morea-Castle, the 30th of October, descriptive of the part which the British took with the French in reducing that fortress. Our seamen behaved with their accustomed gallantry and perseverance, and excited the generous rivalry of their brave and admiring compeers. The French Papers repeat to-day what they stated yesterday, that Russia has resolved to en foree the blockade of the Dardanelles and Con stantinople. Count HEYDEN has addressed a circular to the Admiials of neutral Powers upon the subject, and endeavours to make the dose as palatable as possible, by lauding the moderation of the EMPEROR once more ! Every thing will be suffered to pass but provisions and articles contraband of: war—that is every thing which could be of use to the Turks, or of service to those who sold it. We are of those who maintain that the justice of a cause should not be measured by the in temperance of its advocate. The best of men may err in the enthusiasm of debate—and ex press sentiments, which in their sober moments will not bear reflection. But the casual error of an over-excited mind, smarting under the intensity of patriot wrongs, should not be seized with greedy joy. It should be turned against the offending advocate, but not against the justice of that cause which it was his ardent am bition to support. We have endeavoured to vindicate the cause of Ireland with humble, but earnest and patriotic truth ; and in doing so even we, though uninfluenced by party motives, and unswayed by vulgar prejudices, may occasionally in our anxiety to promote the general welfare by an equalization of general rights, have overstepped the bounds of a due discretion, for those who feel strongly will speak boldly ; but it is " the cause—the cause" which gives birth to the one, and stimulates the other. That Mr. a CON NELL, in a momentary fit of indiscretion, has spoken language which had far better be unsaid, we believe no man is at this time more conscious than himself. But it is not fair to quote a pas sionate episode of this description against the huge history of his country's wrongs. The Orange faction and their tools, it will be observed, employ many artifices against the Catholics, which are equally mean and ingignifi cant. They are at present raising a elamour againzt ,Mr. 0' Co NNELL, for saying that if any at tempt were made to disfranchise the forty shilling Freeholders, it should be resisted by force. But admitting that Mr. O'CoNNEILL really used these words, what does it prove ? Only that lit is goaded into a state of exasperation by ill treatment, and gives vent to his feelings in hasty words. But very far are we from justifying such language. it is extremely rash and imprudent, tending to injure that cause which it was meant to benefit. The true strength of the CabtAies lies in peaceable and constitutional measures. Their adversaries are fully aware of this,—and hence ~. . ~~~ ..~ their continued insults and invectives ;—their temptations to the Catholics to quit the sure ground of the law for the desperate—the fatal chances of civil war. They are continually indulging in all sorts of malignant and provoking ribaldry against the Catholics ; but the moment that any Papist is guilty of passionate or illy advised language, his enemies are filled with perfect astonishment that any one should lose his temper but themselves. They claim a monopoly of abuse as. well as power. They would make the indiscretion of one, the argument for denying to the great body of the Irish nation the enjoyment of their political right& But this is all artifice. It is an attempt to draw away the public attention from the main question at issue. They may rest assured, how ever, that such trickery will not succeed. The pe tition of discontented millions will not be got rid of in this manner by a side wind. But granting all they can say against Mr. O'CONNELL—and the latitude cannot be too wide for their deep re venge—is the Irish nation to be held responsible for his errors ? Justice, if not humanity, for bids it. SHIPPING IN TE LLIGENCE-(THI S DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Mail. Accounts have now reached town from tli most distant of those country banks which kept cash with Messrs. Fay and Citaratax, but no disaster in any instance appears to have followed the failure of that house. At Newcastle, when the news arrined on Wednesday, there was a smart run kept up for some hours on the bank there, con ducted under the firm of CuAPMAN and Co., but all the ,4 1 : 1113 s op the house were promptly met. We understand that the attention of Ministers themselves, as soon as intel ligence reached them of the failure of FAY and CHAP arax, was immediately directed to the sitpation of the money market, and that the Duke of WELLINOTos came to town early on the following day, to direct such pi oceed. lugs as might he thought proper to prevent the spreading of any alarm on the occasion. The Duke is said also' to have addrerizmi a communication on the subject to the Directors of the Bank of Eitglatul, enjoining them to act witho u t d el a y in such manner as might appe a r pefpl under the emergency. and there is reason t o b e li eve , that in consequence of this communication the Directors waved all scruples that might present themselves at the time against the extension of their discounts, and passed the greater por tion of the bills that were presented to them.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH Sittings at Nisi Prins, after term, before Lord TEY- TERDEN and a Middlesex Jury.) ELMS V. SAUNDERS. This was an action against the Sheriff of Buck inghamshire to recover 760/., in consequence of the said sheriff making a false return to a writ for that amount on the goods of George Burgess, then within his bailiwick; goods to the amount of 7601. having. been afterwards levied against Abe said George Bur gess. Mr. Hutchinson opened the pleadings, and Mr. Williams stated that the plaintiff was a widow, and had for some time carried. on the business of a currier, but afterwards gave. it up to him on a war-. rant of attorney for certain , considerations. H e did not keep up his payments, and the plain. tiff entered up judgment, and , directed a levy on the goods of Burgess, for 2,000/. The Sheriff returned, that there were no.goods or chat- tels within his bailiwick. He wieuld, however, prove, that farming stock to the amount of 760/. was afterwards levied and taken away, and for that sum she now brought her action. The Learned Gen tlemen believed that it was intended to set up an act of bankruptcy, but he trusted that would not avail the defendant, who he contended was clearly liable for the debt. Sir J. SCARLETT for the defendant stated, that the real question was, whether the goods sold at Eton belonged to the assignees of Burgess, who had indemnified the Sheriff, or to Mrs. Elms, his sister. The latter had had the conducting of the sale, and had indemnified the Sheriff against a notice of an act of bankruptcy which he had received from the assignees. The Commission of bankruptcy was, however, issued before the sale, and the Sheriff then gave up the proceeds to the assignees upon receiving an indemnification. The act of bankruptcy was that of leaving the town on a Saturday, when he could not get bail to a writ out against him, and not returning to a late hour at night. The Learned Counsel contended that he knew he could not be arrested on the Sunday, and if the Jury were to think that he went away on the 30th June for the purpose of avoiding his creditors, they would at once decide the case by a verdict for the defendant. G. Burgess was called to prove that his father, the bankrupt, had been much embarrassed, and that on the 30th June he went out of the way to avoid his creditors. John Griffin stated that Mr. Barton, of Windsor, the attorney, who had bailed Burgess before to writs which witness left for him, bad told witness to call again, when he had left a writ on the 30th of June, at the suit of one of Burgess's greatest creditors. He did call again, but was told that Burgess was out of the way. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the .Tory returned a verdict for the defendant. . THE KING V. MOORE AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against Wm. Moore, George Saddler, Samuel Castleden, and William Tanner, for assaulting and falsely imprisoning Wm. Groves. Mr. F. KELLY opened the pleadings, and Sir J. SCARLETT stated the case to the Jury. It arose from an oratorical discussion at the town house of the parish of Mile-end. The prosecutor (Mr. Groves) was one of the treasurers of the poor. A Meeting had been called, for the purpose of arranging the parish poor house, and appointing a master thereto. The pro secutor interrupted some person who Was speaking disrespectfully of the Magistrates, and informed him that the Meeting was not called for the discussion of that subject. Mr. Hall, the person alluded to, then accused Groves of not having paid his rates, and, in consequence, of having no right to be present. The prosecutor had resisted paying his rates, from con ceiving that he was overcharged. The Magistrates, however, confirmed it, and Mr. Groves offered to pay it, but the collector said he would call for it, but had not called up to the time of the Meeting. Mr. Groves then offered to pay it, but the party were so strong against him, thathey turned him out of the room with violence, tearing his clothes from his back. They then took him before the Magistrate, but he I was discharged, and now sought reparation for the injury he had received. Wm. Groves was called, and described the busi ness of the meeting and the assault on himself, but admitted that he had been thrice before voted dis orderly by parish meetings. Another witness was called, but Sir J. SCAR LETT suggested that a verdict of guilty might be re corded, and the matter of compensation referred. This was agreed to, and a verdict entered ac cordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ?BE KING V. BELL. Mr. CLARK said this was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, to re cover the sum of 2401. for duties. The SOLIcrroR•GENERAL, in stating the case, informed the Jury, that this cause had been once be fore tried, on which occasion the defendant obtained a verdict, but as it was considered to be of great im portance, the Crown applied for and obtained a new trial. The defendant was a glass manufacturer, re siding in Lancashire, and' between the years 1825 and 1827, .on forty-nine different occasions removed a quantity of manufactured metal from the furnace in a contrary manner to what was required by the Act of Parliament. The Crown did not now pro ceed for penalties against the defendant, as they felt satisfied that he was not actuated by any fraudulent intentions, but that lie erred through a wrong con struction of the Act. With this impression it might be thought the present proceeding was harsh ; but it should be recollected that the law was made for rogues as well as honest men, and as a specific regu lation had been broken, it was necessary for the pre tection of the revenue that the penalties should be enforced. The. Learned Counsel then described the process required by the Act in the manufactory, from which it appeared that the defendant had re moved some of the metal from the furnace without giving notice to the Excise Officer; but he admitted that the metal so removed was afterwards put again into the furnace, and the duty paid upon it. Mr. JAuvis, for the defendant, here said, his ' Learned Friend (the Solicitor-General) entertained exactly the same opinion of the case as he did ; but as no fraud was imputed to his client, he was willing to submit to a nominal verdict. The SoLICIToR-GENERAL could not accept of such, a verdict. As he before said, a specific regulation •had been infringed, and if it was suffered to be thus passed over, it would open a wide field for persons who wished to defraud the revenue; he should fully prove that unmanufac tared metal had been removed, the duty on which would amount to 24(11„ but as it was thought the duty bad afterwards been paid, the Crown did not proceed for penalties. Mr. Itavis said the Crown had never been de frauded of a single farthing by his client. It was true the metal had been removed, but it •was after• wards put again into the furnace, and the duty paid. The defendant had certainly put a wrong construc tion on the Act, but as he had no interest in so doing, lie would gladly submit to what the Court should say was it:: proper construction; but knowing his innocent motives, he felt bound, as the offer of a nominal verdict was refused, to defend the case. Several witnesses were then called on each side, who proved the facts as stated by Counsel. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, observed that the Jury un thP fqrrper trial returned their ver dict for the defendant, on the ground, that he did not contemplate any fraud. Now he felt bound to tell the, ury that his opinion was that that verdict was wrong, for a positive regulation had been broken, and to protect the interests of the public, it was necessary it should be punished ; for, if not, as the Solicitor-General had said, it would - give great en couregemeni to the 4ishopfsr dealer. With these remarks he should leave the case with them. The Jury consulted for about a minute, anti then returned a verdict for the defendant.—This case lasted the whole of the morning, and svas the only one for trial to day.

SlR—Chance has thrown in my way a number al: obscure Journal 'yclept the Sta n d ar d, i n w hi c h I per c : 4 o:, some` Sharacteristically false and calumnious r e marks urj, the principles and conduct of that most respected Nohler:o Earl Darnley. It is impossible that the character of Lori! e hs, should suffer from attacks conceived in falsehood, and brow - i t ; forth in obscurity. To this feeling I attribute the al o s, of all reply on the part of his Lordship to the aspersko question. I can but consider that this magnanimil somewhat misplaced ; for, however we may despise $4 tile, it is still always worth while to wipe away its slime. The man of the Standard sets out in his esrei t i ot abuse by bestowing on Lord D. what he no doubt it1, 01 4,;= to be a derogatory title, but which, in the eyes of Oil: , mane and honourable men, will be rather considered o sirahle distinction. He calls his Lordship " Queen line's Lord Darnley." And is this really the gravest nri that this induattiOus detractor can discover, even aft long a retrospect? and could he flatter himself that ie persons, beyond the miserable minority to which be ,d . longs, would see any discredit in the disinterested advSj, of an injured English Queen? With that junta, is want of wealth or power is want of virtue. The' 7 , and the mercenary have no sympathy with misfortune) j i to worship any other than the rising sun is, in their er:is " flat blasphemy." Another paragraph makes a ch i "W against his Lordship, which, even were it true, eviacety most contemptible littleness of mind, it is asserted tbst_ Lordship, among an assemblage of 60 , 000 persons, apeiy as the only contemner of his Majesty's recommendatin a general mourning. This is, however, a " weak bra tion of the enemy"—a base, deliberate lie. I most tively assert, from my own knowledge, that Lord DO: was dressed in black at the Penenden Heath Meeting. The writer then makes an attempt to impugn the ON ment of his Lordship, that Catholic Emancipation . o s political and not a religious question. I think that man, who 'dispassionately considers all the talking au u t t writing on both sides, can for a moment doubt the t a d of this position. Religion is the mere stalking-ho ti the question, and corporal privileges and power are j real points at issue ; the party excluded call loudlf justly for admission to those distinctions and betl i c y which should be open to all, while those in possession moor as loudly for the perpetuation of their political 7, nopoly. What is th e cons tant burden of the prayer o f f latter party, but " against the -admission of Catholic i t y power," that is to place and its concomitants ? I f is clergy of the diocese of Rochester and of the kingdo m a general possessed none of the attributes of Mammonftio, were distinguished by the simplicity of the primitive .Ar . t ij I am inclined to think that we should have been s P great many of these orthodox fulminations. The io d sistency of the Brunswickers is most remarkable, 01 ,4 the best evidence of the inherent error and weaknewooi their cause. One day they are crying out, ‘; What f o lic can can Catholic Emancipation do? What does C ato fi Emancipation mean ? It means only the admission _Z Parliament of a handful of Irish Peers and Como:noon and yet the very next we are gravely told that this, minority, if admitted, would, by a superhuman h o , pocks influence, be able to overset all the institntion the State and the relations of society. Such a potil ) ,, is idle to speak of ; at the first indication of such s tions, an immense majority would be ready to repress u:y As he of the Standard may possibly entertain douir so i to the attachment of Lerd Darnl e y to the Esta.bli Church, I take the liberty to inform hif n o f a c u re ) stance, which (from the unostentatious habitS of the do, he may perhaps never have heard of, viz. that Lord I ) , ley built and presented to the inhabitants of Sandgi ti 4 Kent, a handsome church. In conclusion, I would a d the scribe to give up the trade of lie-coining, and en in i your to make his paper the " Standard" of truth; Pi the cause of intolerance can only be supported by 0 p inventions, it is only propping a falling fabric with Stii —I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, I% l ' P.S.
