LONDON JOURNALS. TR.0:11 THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY. LiVorning Chronicle.] The last letters front Bombay bring afflicting accounts of the, mortality arising from the cholera inorbus, which raged in the Deran during the months of July and August, and had not been en tirely overcome, though greatly decreased, in Sepr•iuber. Tire general symptoms are vi•alent vomiting and purging, cramp in the extremities, extending to the abilomen and muscles of the chest, great thirst and , burning beat in the bowels ; the eye becomes covered with a thick film, sinks into its socket, and becomes fixed.— The most successful remedies have been large doses of calomel and opium, with warm bathing, &c. It has been chiefly mortal among the nal i►es ; Europeans have suffered. About 2000 of the natives died at a religious place called Ponder pore. Of the Europeans who have fallen a sa crifice to the malady we have to lament the loss of Lientenant-Col. Lyall, who was carried off in six hours, and of Lienrenatit Indtc—both on the Bombay Establishment. [B;ll.ish Press 1 nnderstand t!u Miiiiiers have it in con templation to repeal ell the present exioing Acts I'dilia men i atfecting the Customs and Excise, for the purpose of consolidating them into one general Act.

The active and determined measures adopted by the Roman Catholics of Ireland to force them selves into a share of Legislative Power, demands the strenuous opposition of all friends to the Pro testant Church, We are rejoiced to find that there are loyal and patriotic Journals in this country and •in Ireland, who are justly alarmed at the consequences which may attend farther concessions to POPERY, and endeavour, zealously, to resist its pretensions. But will the Psorss- TAIT CLERGY slumber at this alarming crisis, and leave a cause of this vital importance to the ex istence of TUE CONSTITUTION and the National Faith to the efforts of Public Journalists, when we have so often assured them that Tit 8 SCN shall at ell - times be open for their communications in support of our Religion and our Government ? We trust that they will not expose themselves to the censure which must necessarily arise from such negligence on so solemn an occasion, and on so imperious a call upon them for a zealous discharge of their duty in support of the Religious Establishment of which they are members, and on which the.happiness of the Empire essentially de- pmts. We have taken the following observa tions on this subject from The Leeds Intelligelcer of the !Sill inst. and hope to see most of the Public Journals throughout the United Empire follow the example, that we may have the oppor tunity of transferring their remarks to the columns of Tue. SUN, and of giving them universal circu lation " The Irish Catholics appear determined to make a grand struggle for the total and lingua litied repeal' of all the laws which impose restric t tons upon them, with respect to their admission to offices of trust under the Crown ; or even to the Crown itself. Such appears to be a fair de duction from their conduct—for nothing. shirt of a total emancipation will content them ; and the manner in which one of their advocates has re d in The Belfast News Letter, to a card, de manding. whether such a repeal would not lay the Crown open to a Roman Catholic Sovereign, plainly sheris that they have already that object in view. " In protesting against the admi ; ;sion of Ca. titniics to offices of trust and power tauter u Pro • /extant Government, we,are not Comitious #x" ercising any illiberality towards persons of that persuasion ; we a re only acting with a due degree of prudence towards those who profess the saute f a ith with ourselves. A distinguished feature in the Roman Catholic Religion is intolerance.— Even in the present depressed state of the Papal Power, this evil spirit is sufficiently evinced.-=- %Vitness the Protest of the Catholic Bishops of Belgium, against the tree toleration of all reli gions denominations, and the conduct of Papists among ourselves, who will not send their chil dren to a school where the Bible is read, or th e Church Catechism - taught, although they insist ' upon free liberty to preach their owu (locators in the same seminaries " 'Co assume that the Catholics have an un doubted claim to the same privileges as their Pro testant brethren, is to assert, that a Government has no right to affi x Tialifications to any office in its gift ; but that all west be thrown open to any competitor, however unfi ed he may he, from his principles, his abilities, or h is station in society. A constieni ions Catholic cannot he a good sub ject in a place of trust to a Protestant Prince. It .is contrary to the very principles of his religion ; and however the advocates of the question may gloss over their hi,a,orted prejtelices, and whatever preteuers to liberality of sentiment they them selves may make—the single fact of the re-publi cation of the Rhetosh Testament, with all os in toletant, persecuting, and blond-thirsty Notes, under the express saner Inn of the Catholic Bi shors of Ireland, is stolicient to outweigh all such flimsy and unfounded sophistry. " The Catholics now enjoy the full exercise of their religion, without any harassing restrictions ; hut traespose situations, and how long would they softer ois ro possess the flee exercise of ours Es cry page of our history, from the Reformation to the Revolution, is conclusive as to the (pies dolt. IVe deprecate the return of evils such as our ancestors had to endure ; and we wish to pre serve, in all their vigour, those wholesome laws, which have eiveu security to both Protestant and Catholic—whilst they have preserved the for mer from the tyranical encroachments of the latter." FOR 'MIL SUN. MR. EDITOR,-With very great pleasure I ob serve that you have opened the campaign. Our adversaries are active and strong :—we too are strong ; and strong enough to cope with them in any manner which their conduct shall render ne cessary ; by argument to refuse their demands, and otherwise, should the refusal be resented. We are nor, however, equ3lly active :—lntich thanks therefore are due to every man who comes for ward in the cause, and .particularly to those Edi:ors who devote their columns to its support. At such a crisis, I do, indeed, rejoice to see you thus early in the field ; and hope, now you have raised the standard, that your troops will spew a speedy and numerous muster. y asi;le for a while, Sir, questions of minor importance, and you will have abundant and 'convenient space for this most interesting discussion. I ant no t skilled in the management of heavy artillery; neither, pet baps, can I do great service t he battalion :—but, it you will enroll me among your sharp-shooters, you shall find me al ways at my post. E xcuse t h ese .military meta phors ; which, as the Papists in their Irish " statement" boasted so unmetaphorically of their " military means . ot attack and defence," came quite naturally-into the subject. Precedent is of great authOrity. Our forefathers were at least as wise as ourselves ; and we shall do well to profit by their wisdom. Observe then the conduct of the Commissiolier s at the Savoy, when, in 1660, a conference was held concerning the church service, of which certain Reformers desired an alteration. Bishop Burtair.T's own words aptly strew bow we should now deal by the Popish Emancipators . 6 After the Declaration was set out, a Commission was granted to twelve of a side, with nine Assistants to each side, who were appointed to meet at the Savoy, and to consider on the ways of unitiog both sides. At their first meeting, *SIIELooN told them, that those of the Church hod not de sired this Meeting, as being sativied with Me legal Esta blishment ; and therefore they had nothing to eer; but it belonged to the other side, who moved for alterations, to off r, both their exceptions to the lows be being, and Me alterntiona that they proposed. He told them, they were to lay all they had to offer before them at once; for they would not engage to treat about any one particular, till they .saw how far their demands went.—SLIELDoN saw well what the effect would be, of putting them to make all their demands at once. The number of them raised a mighty outcry against them, as against PEoPLE THAT NLVEIt WOULD BE SATISFIED. "—Bur net's History of his own Tnnes,/v. 1. part Q.

This day, soon after two o'clock,. the Lords Commissioners having taken their seats in the House of Lords, the Gentleman lJsher of the Black Rot! was sent to desire the attendance of the House of Commons, The SPEAKER and a great number of Members having come to the Bar, the Lotto CHANCELLOR (one of the Lords Commissioners), delivered by command of his Royal Highness the PLINCE RE GENT, acting in the name and on the hehait ot• his Majesty, a Speech, of which the following, i 5 an abstraCt The Speech begins, as usual, by lamenting the continuance of his MAJESTI'S Indisposition. It then adverts to the severe Calamity with which it has pleased Divine Providence to visit ►he PRINCE REGENT, the Royal Family, and the N►+tion, by the Death of the late QUEEN ; and directN the Attention of Parliament to the Con- shleration of such Measures as that Event has rendered necessary and expedient, with respect t o the Care of Ills .11AJESTY'S Sacred Person. Jr next informs the Two [louses, that the Ne- gociations at Aix-la-Chapelle have led to the Eracnotion of the French Territory by the Allied Armies, anti that the PRINcs REGENT has g 'Veil orders that ihe Convention concluded for that pur- pose,tas well as the other Docomentsconnected with that arrangement, shall be laid before them. And it expresses His Royal Highness's persuasion that they willview with satisfaction the intimate Union which subsists among the Powers who were Par- tics to these Transactions, and the unvaried dis- position nrtnifested in these Proceedings for the pieserva ion of the Peace and Tra►►quillity of Europe. His ROYAL HIGHNESS next apprizes Pailiament of a Treaty concluded between IIIS ROYAL HIGH- NESS and the Government of the United Staten of Atnerica, for the Renewal for a further Term of Years, of !be Commercial Conven- tion now sobsis!ing between the Two Powers, and for the amicable adjustment of several Points of material Importance to the'ln- terests of both Countrie,, and promises, that as soon as the Ratifications shall have been cx- changed, a Copy of the Treaty shall be laid be fore them. In informing the House of Commons that the Estimmes for the current year will be laid before them, His Royal Highness expresses his assurance that they will learn with satisfaction the. extent of the Reduction which the present situa- tioo of Europe, and the circumstances of the tish Empire, have enabled His Royal Highness to rffect in the Naval and Military Establishments of the Courury, and his gratification of annonrcing a considerable and progressive improvement in the Revenue, in its most important Branches. The Two Nooses are then informed, thfit the ItE r GLiNT has directed to be Lid before them such Papers al are nftesserV: to die't the Origin and Result of the War in the East Indies; that the Operations undertaken by the G°ver' nor-General in Council against the Pind 4rriel were dictated by the strictest Principles of S ell ' Defence, and that its the extended Hostilities' which followed upon those Operatioas, th e I ‘ lBll‘ rattah Princes Were in every instance the Agg rer sous ; and that under the provident and skill° Superintendance of the Marquis of HAs7•INGSI the Campaign was marked in every point by b ril' liant Achievements and Successes, and 11 1 S l‘fr .11:5TY'S Forces and those of ,the East India C° lll' pany, Native as yell as European, rivalled each other in sustaining the reputation of the lit'" Arms.
