EDITOR—I cannot forbear to congratulate you upon the noble stand again made, for our Protestant Constitution, by its 1-teredita e ry Guar- dians, the House of Lords. They have shewn that they are prepared against the wiles, as well as armed against the force, of those who desire to put it into hazard. • With the doctrines of the Papists we tieither interfere, nor wish to middle. Though we are convinced that many of theM are absard, and some blasphemous, they are perfectly welcome to hold them; as long as they' can think them other wise. But against those principles which are so hostile to the Protestant Religion, as to abhor its very existence, it is necessary for us to stand on the defensive; and Mir best security is not to per mit those who bold them to become our Law: givers or Governors . For this purpose, the re nouncing of Transubstantiation appears to be the 'safest test, and that is all we have to do with it. It is rathar hard upon us, that they should be so inveterate against our religion, which neither 'professed Mir attempted any thing but to remove errors and defor'ihitiet from their own. In a French Dictionary now 'before Mr, I see Reforme first defined as the name Or a Schism, namely tha Protestant. Next, in this Inan'ner : " On appelle aUssi reforme la retahliisement de la dis cipline, dans un Ordre Iteligieux, ou clinsOntoturattnaute b o 4 la relichement s'est inirOduit." " The re-establishing of discipline in a Religions 'Orilerp or in any Community, which has become relaxed." Now, that which they allow to be legitimate in a religious order, why must they proscribe in ke ligion at large ? They call us Heretics and Schis matics; but, in faet, the Protestant's made no schism. They did not separate themselves ; the schism was made by the Papal See; and by the Council of Trent, who drove us out froM their einnMunion. But why must they be called Catholics? Besides the Protestant Churches-, what becomes of the whole Greek Church, under that definition? The true distinction is, the Reformed, and the Unre forthed, Religion ; and to this we should hold. In adhering to the latter, let them consider whether they do not come under the censure, and in fact under the prophetic view Of the Psalmist, where he says, " Whereas thou 'latest to be reformed, and hest cast my words behind thee." They' have called ours a new Religion. It is no more 30 than the Dominicans or Franciscans, when reformed, became new orders : no inure So, than the same face, when washed, be comes a new face. The face of a chimney swceper, when completely washed, bright appear new face ; and SO might the unreformed reli gion, when reformed, appear new ; but both are still radically unchanged. Let us then be known as Reformed and Unreformed, and not otherwise Catholics we are, but English Catholics ; and trust we shall never be itoninn. WICKLIFFE. AMERICA AND HER RasonncEs.---We are glad to observe that the public attention has lately been directed by an eminent Reviewer towards this work of Mr. Bats Tan, which cannot but prove highly interesting to the English Reader, from the account it gives of the state of society, manners, politics; internal regulation, &c. of the United States, rectifying, as it does, many mis conceptions and erroneous notions respecting that Republican Empire. Speculators and others who may wish to obtai❑ correct information, would do well to peruse this well-digested amd apparent ly most impartial account- FOR THE StN. PLAGUE CONTAGION. Ate. EntTott—l . have, for some years past, in common with many others, paid great attention to the discussiOns Which have been carrying on respecting contagion in epidemic diseases, than which there cannot, in my opinion, be a question Of greater importance to mankind. This con troversy has als'o prevailed on the opposite shores of the Atlantic. Shortly before leaving America, in order to travel, and to perfect my medical studies in Europe, I had an opportunity of perusing the valuable publication of Dr. MAbLEAN on the Plague, which had been imported into the United States, and was much struck with the fot•'ce of hit reasoning, as well as gratified by the ingenuity of many of his doctrines. It was eulo logized, as I think it deserved to be, in some of the periodical publications of that country. I felt naturally enrinns to know whether it was re garded in the same fairOurable light by thetritics of England. But ilfound what I bad heard was a received adage in the Old World, that " a man is nciftrafthet in his own cannery" to be verified in this ease. I found what were considered it unque,s tidnahle able truths on one side of the Ocean, represented as speculating fancies On the Other ; *hit *as regarded as conclusive reasoning, re presented as sophistry and delusion. How was this difference to be accounted for ? Could ii have depended on a radical difference in the intellec- that faculties of the American and European Critics ? This much is at least certain, that, whilst in America neither prejudices, nor prepo tessions, respecting the Author, his doctrines, or his opponent's, can be supposed to exist, they may operate in England with powerful and ex tensive effect. The only effectual and certain remedy for this evil ultimately is discussion. But, in the mean tithe, let the European poison, as has happened of other viruses of that part of the world, be accompanied by its Columbian antidote. With this view, Sir, you would greatly oblige me, and I am persuaded also serve the cause Of truth; by granting insertion in your Journal, to the following short 'Extract from a Trans-At= !antic Criticism of Dr. MACLEAN'S Work on the Plague. Your obedient Servant, London, June 1, 1819. AN AMERICAN PHYSICIAN. " Here we meet with an old acquaintance, and a formidable antagonist to the ,loctrihe of pesti-, lential contagion : he is the same whom we had noticed twenty years ago, &c. (alluding to Tracts published in India in 1796, atid imported into America in 1797). Our readers May judge how glad we are again to see dur old friend returned from froM Ilia Asiatic excursions and exposure to,pes tilential blasts. 'We are overjoyed in examining the powerful weapons. with which he aims deadly blows Lgainst the tottering fabric of contagion in plague, &c. Not unaware of , the many subjects which, in the work of Dr. Maclean, would equally call for our praise, br our criticisnii .we Must for the present regulate our selection ac cording to our periodical limits, and postpone, 'until the conapletidn of his second Volurite, our review of the various points of doctrine he has Connected with his principal subject. , Sufficiently abundant, in his first volume, are indeed the matters relating to the great controversy and facts, which have been recorded in eighteen vo lumes 61 . tint Medical Repository, in support of the proclaimed declarations of the distinguished British end Medical Cosmopolite: The preliminary discourse constitutes the first book Or division of this volume (vol. 1). We may tall it an impressive and encyclopedical dis course on all subjects that can s bear any relation to the work itself and to the Author. We think it highly interesting. Friends or foes to the new doctrine will be interested and entertained by it. A most important, and, we may say, solemn call is made upon the integrity and philanthropy of the thinking and well-informed part of mankind, &c. On the subject of Laws of Epidemics incom• patible with Contagion, our Author notices maoy More in as many succeeding chapters ; Emil, in a masterly manner, proves every one of them. These and other chapters are enriched with novel and instructive facts, illirstrated by practical remarks, and enforced by an universal practical eXperlence and analysis, which will convince at least the can did and the impartial reader, and conipebthe du bious or the prejudiced into his usual reintrench [trent of silence or scepticism.... Dr. Maclean contemplates in all their bearings the various and complicated consequences of this fuodantental error, whether as they relate to humanity, to the progress of medical improvement, to the moral state of communities, to political economy, to the interests of Conimerce and navigation, to the suc cess of expeditions and the safety of armaments, to individual intercourse, and the intercourse of nations, or to the general consumer and the pub lic revenue. in each point of view it would be hardly believed that the beat interests of mankind could have been sO long sacrificed to popular pre judices and inherited delusions ! ... Our limits in this periodical work make us regret that we cannot ray enough en the numerous subjects to which the author adverts, better to itnpreSs un good minds the fallacy of the doctrine which, among other evils, has entailed upon all cbminer cial nations an universal and no lest absurd and calamitous systetn of quarantine. The British (quarantine) law is here analysed, and its dein tions, like ail others of the hind, shewn, while it could not in the least protect the British Esta blishments in the ilediterranertn; no more than it can correct or Check the blowit►g of a pestitcrous wind.... Such is the periretted state of quarau tiac eitablithizt Do, that i; cults► fin tilt EttutruiDg and of a Medical Luther or a ativin, no less than the abuSes of the Church did during the pontifi cate of Leo X. We hope that, with his succeed. ing volume, our Author may be the successful reformer in his country, the power and greatness of which command so much influence all over the world." (New York Medical Repository for Nov. 1817, Vol. 4, of a New Series, p. 151-163.) THE MARKETS. COKN-EXCHANGE, JUNE 18.—We have had no Arrivals since.

In our Palier of yesterday we gave an account of a dreadful attempt made by a man named KirbY . „ on his own life, and the sudden disappearance of his wife and two of his children, under circum stances of great suspicion. On further inquiry, We have beeti enabled to collect the following addi tional partitalars from authentic sources Sa. turday Morning last Mrs. Kirby went to Mr. King; one of the parish officers of Woolwich (to which they belonged) who gave her 2s. and sent ' a letter to her husband, requeiting hiM to bring hiS faMily clown to the podr house at soon as pos 'sible. Next morning (Sunday) they left their lodgings in Bull-court, and all, except one of the children, a girl nine years old, tiarted for the avowed purpose of prOeeeding direct to Wool wich. However, about dusk the sanie evening, the man returned home, Without either the *When or the children, and entered his lodg ings as if he Wished to escape observation ; but near the door he Was met by Mr. Mooney, the landlord, who asked what had becoMe of his wife and the children ? After a pante lie said, that he had stripped at a public-bouse on the road to have half a pint of porter, and that they had gone on- wards towards Woolwich, but as It could not afterwards come Op With them, he did not think proper to follow them. Early on Monday Kirby went into the country to seek for employment, but returned in the course of the clay, and in a conversation with a man in the house, expressed some fear of going to Woolwich, for he said they would certainly do sOmethlng to hied. On Tues day he cut his throat, a's We. have already stated. ...After he had been conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, Kibsey, the constable, went to XVOOI - to tee Mr. King, from whom he learned that neither the woman nor the children had at.; rived there ; and a person was imnit!diately dia patched troth Woolwich, to btiug the remaining child to be taken care of. Mrs. Kirby, at her departure, is supposed to hare had about Is. its her possession, a sum too liitic to take her and the children any distance ; and nut the slightest trace of her could be discovered up to four o'clock on Thtifsday. Kirby is in the Lloqital, and hopes Are entertained of his recovery. Ile is silent ge nerally with regard to his wife and children.- Every eiertion is making by the Gentlemen of Woolwich, and others, to find them, dead or alive. PIC iv Times.] EXTRACT OF A LETTER ittOk TRINIDATi. bated the 14th May, 181 e.
