PRIEST KELLY'S PASTORAL. It is not often th-rt Popery comes in the way of being praised for her since{ y. Yet, now and then—as if Providence had mercifully intended us to have some warning, or had justly designed us to have no excuse—she does throw off the mask, and favour 'ls with a , premAture hoist of her intolerance. Doctor TttoY sceorumutlated 'ls ,ence in This manner :—so did Doctor HUSSEY : SO did Doctor DRONIG.OLE :-4t)(1 so, bill the other day, did Cal dii,3l FONTAN —So also has another of her Doctors, OLiveit KeLLY, by name —Popish Priest by trade—and List] Atchhishop by hssuniption. I hope that the Rescrint of this audacious man, may be published in Tile Susi, desiring, es my first wish, that his unblushing and profligate ca• lumnies tray be read by every Protestant—they need only perusal for their due operation—l am anxious also, that my animadversions may be comp4red with the malice which has provoked them. What ()pinion must' he in his conscience have of the Protestant 13ihle , (And conseptently, of the Protestant Religion) when in the saute document wl►ich complains of its intro►luction among his , flock, he praises then: for no longer getting drunk ; no longer profaning the Sabbath ; no longer ne glecting Divine worship ; no longer committing Perjury ?—What the " trials and temptations" are, not withstanding which these sober, religious, and honest folks have su signally improved, the worthy Priest does not inform us.—Not for the world would I venture to suppose they were such as were so effectually operated with in 1798. It stands, however, on the irrevocable record of his own acknowledgment—if, indeed, Popery ever uttered a truth, except for the purpose of its retraction—that this blessed improvement has occurred since the introduction of the Protestant Bible. As he has not recognivAl that introduc- tiun as its cause, I kvill not be so cruel as to press the argument. IVe must be too thankful to " Grace" for what he has said, to infer from it what he ha►s not, lest in his high displeasure be reverse the, Sy'ucdoche, and disavow totumpro parte —A monk is generally so well described in the monkish rhymes " Mel in ore, vcrba " Fel ix corde, frau, in plot's," that we shookd not be too fattitlions when any variation from the genus happens upon us. This Reform, Radical as it appears, is not very palatable to the worthy Priest ; whose main ob it:et pops out in the next paragraph. Solicitous as he is for the spirit of obedience to God, which however, he takes care to identify with obedience, to " 'ri►e Church," (Popery of course) he cannot reckon any of the above acknowledged virtues as any virtues at all, if they have been defiled by the lightest touch of heretical contamination. Ne vertheless, he desires " the UNRESTRAINED exer cise of (ma spiritual powers," not from any spirit of gain or of domination.—Not he. Bat solely, singly, and simply, to administer to his flock the blessings of Religion. I should have inferred ` from his own eulogy, that his flock had received pretty good taste of its blessings already. But the test with him and his fellows is, not the qua lity of the gift but of the givcr. Observe, 1 pray, how closely he pfrallels the duty owed to our Protestant King and to hi Pa. pish Church ! It is fortunate, truly, that his Grace was Hot pleased to put the King's right a point lower. But all in good time. Very dexterously. he strings together Texts from different parts of Scripture, and so infers their dependence and con- sequence with each other. It is rather curious, however, to quote the Testament to those whom he forbids from reading it. Relying on this Priestly Veto, he dashes on with a mis-translation; and plumply tells his flock that they are to obey their " Prelates." The term was shrewdly chosen for an Irish Laity, and ciactly meridianed for their habits and intellects. Our translation, indeed, is rather different. " Obey them that have the rule over you." If one could venture to confront Priest KELLY with Saint PAUL, I should almost be prophane enough to quote. the inspiration of the original Greek :, " :.-:.(7(1S 7i7O:;CLEYOI.S Vl.Lall'''-which, if it means Prelates in any other language than the frith, I will fairly surrender Catholic Emancipa tion, and let his Grace roast Inc at Smithfield. This is what the French call traducing into English. And to this version, or per-version, he immvdiately tacks the reasons of another Saint— Peter—fur submission to temporal authority : thus holsterim: up his own ecclesiastical ASUMT• I was :itolinerin:: at the translation of these lines, when I Inchily recollected qatiza of an old Irish Melody, wfaich almost save 3 me the ti4o;ble ooh ! the lips were lihe treacle of Fattier KELLY, " Eli, jaw was as sino , ,th as a calve's-foot jelly ; " Be thy heart of Lis 11,/verence ran 4 .ver with gall, " And his sou./ had no conscience at an, at all."— I wish I could reutetubar the rest of it. tions, by a differtnt cause assigned for a different purpose. Was it not high time to send the Pro testant Bible among the followers of this pious " Prelate Mask we now his gratitude !—ln requital for the multiplied relaxations which his sect Is ob tained, he terms them the abandonment, " in i some degree," of the violence and persecution which it had suffered ; and insists that the plan of its " ex tirpation" is now carried on by " seduction and insinnatirm." Its Protestant benefactors are in sulted by this thankless Priest as " serpents," as " enemies of his Faith," and " tamperers" with its Professors, while the Protestant Faith is de nounced 85 THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY," which must, of course, have no farther toleration in his Grace's " Island of Saints." God Almighty avert from us the tender mercies of Popery and her Prelates ! If some avenging Infatuation has not dimmed our eyes and dulled our hearts, we may calculate on the measure of antipathy which en tire Emancipation would excite, by the rancour which has rewarded its partial boon. Whenso ever the Papal power shall have equalled itself with the Kingly, this pions Pastor will throw in texts or half texts enough to turn the suspension of his own ecclesiastical conscience. With these feelings and motives, be is mortally indignant at any attempts to " diminish the la fluence" of the Popish Priesthood, or to " mar their interference." Not that be would " excite dissension," or " make odious distinctions on account of Religion :"—but he will most perti naciously oppose every attempt, " however insi " (lions or front whatever source it may emanate, to tamper with the religious principles of the " faithful committed to his care." And this " opposition" is not to be limited to his " individual" Grace. It is to be " collec tive" also ; organized through all the cowled sub alterns of his " extensive Archdiocese." He and they are to " exercise their spiritual authority in its fullest extent," against a Papist's frequenting any Schools, " where the Catholic Catechism is " not taught, where Protestant Tracts are intro " diced, or where the moral conduct or religious " principles of the master are exceptionable." Thus you see, it is not sufficient for this Arch. bishop, that Catholic books are introduced in the Schools, unless Protestant books are not intro duced. He must have the Catechism of his own Church, while he will not allow even a " Tract" of our's. Finally, the religious principles of the master cat , P• be such as he does not " except" againat course they must be in absolute accordance with the Holy Roman Church. " lf these things are done in the green leaf, " what will be done in the dry ?"—lf the quali fied Emancipation, out of which we have been tricked or bullied, has produced this insolence, and generated this malice, what might we not ex pect front the unqualified independence, which Po pery reckons on our being foolish or fearful enough to yield ?—Already, in many an Archi episcopal nose, nous sentons de fagot : and, if the holy brushwood were at this moment laid to our stake, what complaint could we offer of falsified promise or of deceived confidence ? None--•none--none.--Be Father OLIVER KELLY'S purposes what they may, be has given us sufficient warning.—ln his strength, perhaps, rather than in Lis candour, be is thus precau tionary. When the Word of God is proscribed, the Law of Man has little chance of continuance. " Anti-Catholic Schools" must be put down, and the Bible must not be read by the " illiterate." In its stead, the " Catechism of the four Arch " bishops," and some certain other Popish man uals, are to be studied. In the plenitude of power, lie will add authority to order, and punishment to authority.—l had rather see his Grace travelling where another Archbishop OLIVER travelled be fore him. Here let me conelude.—But I cannot avoid the recollection, that when the Papal Bull enjoined the deposal of Icing HENRY VW., and the - enslaving of the English People, its publication at Taam in Ireland, was declared suficient, lam not food of Popish Mandates from that convenient and well accustomed " Archdiocese."

SINGULAR PIIEWOMENOII.—From the Quebec Gazette of November 18.—During tha night of Tuesday last, there fell, in the township of Broughton, on the south shore, so great a quan tity of a black powder, as to completely cover the snow which was then on the ground. A small quantity of the powder has been brought to town and will be analysed. The Bight Hon. the Earl of Powis ordered three fat beeves, with bread, to be to the poor at Ulm, Bishop's CaAde, and Lydhury. The Countess has ordered her accustomed bene volent supply of clothing for the poor, in the vici nity of Waicot. IVadham Wyndham, Esq.

The PROPRIETOR of this Paper finding that it is currently re. ported that he has disposed of it, sleems it necessary to in form the Public that it is still his EOLR PROPERTY, and that whenever new arrangements may take place, he will give due notice to his Readers. The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have :not arrived. How honourable must eur National Character appear, not only to our Countrymen, but to the world at large, in observing the rapid and pros perous progress of the Subscriptions for the Relief of the Friendless and Houseless Fugitive ! ! The ADMIRALTY has laudably followed the example of the several Committees on this most interesting oc casion. The TREASURY will of course do the same, and PROVIDENCE has graciously deigned to aid the noble cause, by a benign thaw, which will enable those whose strength has been recruited by shelter and wholesome nourishment to exert themselves in useful employments, and consequently not to press upon Funds that may be necessary for the sick, the aged, and those whose bodily deprivations render them unfit for labour. We earnestly re commend to the several Committees the Receipt for nutritious Soup, which we have inserted this day, as we can recommend it with confidence from a personal experience of its beneficial qua lities, The exertions recently made by the Enemies of Christianity and Social Order, to sap the foun dations of Civil Society, have been greater than at any former period of our history. These efforts may not perhaps have been so glaring as they have been systematic and determined ; their consequences are, however, on this account more to be dread ed ; and we think, now that the Legislature has wisely proli Wired the future dispersion of the blasphemous and seditious trash with which the Country has keen lately inundated, no better po licy can be pursued than that of endeavouring to provide an antidote for the poison which has been so extensively and copiously infused into the minds of the lower orders. Under these impres sions, that most excellent Society, THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, has nobly stood forward to check the growth of irre ligion and anarchy, by voting a considerable suns from its funds, to enable a Special Committee to circulate, at the lowest possible prices, some of the ablest Tracts which have been written in de fence of our holy Religion, and of our Civil and Ecclesiastical Constitution. To keep pace, how ever, with the restless activity of our modern In fidels, the Society has wisely determined upon extending the circulation of its Traits to the Pub lic at large (whether members or nor). In order to accomplish this, it has been found necessary to make an appeal to the Public, to provide a dis tinct fund to meet the increased expense ; and for this salutary purpose several extensive Sub scriptions have been already opened. We trust that these Subscriptions will be adequately sup ported, and that the funds thereby obtained will enable the most CONSISTENT and venerable So ciety in our excellent Church to carry into com plete effect the praise-worthy designs which it has in view. We sincerely hope that the period is not far distant when there shall be " found "in every place where the word of God " shall have been assailed, the weapons of de " fence ready to repel the attack of the " Blasphemer ;" and every one may rest assured that in contributing his mite (however bumble) to the accomplishment of so desirable an end, he will have performed a duty imperiously called for by the peculiar circumstances of the times, and sanctioned by the first and best principles of gee. uuine Christianity and Patriotism!

He is a Tory at heart, though a Whig by name—an Aristocrat in principle, and a Demo crat in practice—He is always discontented wfreti out of power and place. Long may he con tinue so Q. What is a Reformer A. The child of Discontent and Self-love; nursed by Whiggism, and educated by Vanity. In his own opinion he is never wrong ; but he ima gines all others always to be so. lie is as much dissatisfied with moral dispensations as with po litical and social arrangements ; and thinks he could fashion both Heaven and Earth to more perfection. With respect to the one, be forgets that apparent errors arise from his own blind ness—with respect to the other, he reasons on men and things, not as they are, but as be thinks they ought to be ; and then measuring them by that scale, finds fault with them as they are! Q. What is a Radical P A. The offspring of modern Whiggism, who, in her old days, fell in love with her nursling young Reform. He inherits all the qualities of his an cestors; has been nursed by Ignorance, and edu cated by Prejudice; is a great Crony, of Laziness, Idleness, and Equality ; and is generally believed to have attended a school for grown gentlemen where he was taught Addition by Self-interest, Subtraction by Envy, Multiplication by Calumny, Division by Rapine, and the Rule of Three by General Plunder; under whose directions, though now a Minor, be, hopes soon for be Major, but with all his drilling, he will never get beyond the aukwald squad, where, if he will bear arms, he must expect to be put under Corporal Punish meat I.
