[From ,Thq Morning, Post.]. cc The inestimable blessings of rational liberty, and security of property, enjoyed in so superior a degree by all clases of subjects in the United Kingdom, while they constitute the envy of sur rounding nations, require for their preservation against the attack of restless and desperate inno vators, the utmost vigilant attention of every lover of his country. These can only he upheld by an unshaken allegiance to the reigning Prince, un der whose auspices, for several generations, these kingdoms have attained their bold and unrivalled pre-eminence ; and this, conjointly with a Confi dence and respect for the laws of the realm, is at once our, line of duty, and the only true bulwark of the State. In the vicissitude of human affairs, trying occasions will occur, when the human pas sions place themselves in array against the dic tates of sound reason, against the Most evident Ind forcible suggestions of discretion, and against onour and patriotism. In the dawning of a new .1, marked by a prior vicegerency, alike dis ,guished for valour, a 'display of commanding alent, and a success unparalleled in the annals of the world, there has arisen a circumstance ever to be deplored, the principal feature of which, although of a domestic character, has become of 'le first importance, from the affinity ofthe Illus- trious Personages. From the circumstance of a Bill of Pains and Penalties having been introduced into the House of Lords against her Majesty the Queen, the enemies of civil order and. regular govern ment have industriously sought to disseminate dissatisfaction and sedition in the public mind ; even the public Press has violated all decency, and proceeded to the most dangerous and unwar rantable lengths in casting an undeserired odium on the Executive Power, who were by necessity impelled to the discharge of this most painfu' duty: " In this conjuncture . , so alarming to the peace and tranquillity of the country, it behoves every •, good subject to rally around the throne and give it a determined support, and to promote the stability of the Nation's welfare. We do express great sorrow for the painful Royal inVeLvtigation _ now at issue, but we feel au undiminished coufi den& that the laws of the realm will be dis creetly and most justly administered in that au gust Assembly, which is equally distinguished by great talents and incorruptible virtue, as its Members are dignified and exalted in rank. — This conviction must sink deep in all honour able minds. It would be a remissness of duty, a disregard to every thing that is valuable, were we not to pledge ourselves with our lives and fortunes to the most strenuous support of those principles. " Proud of the blessings we enjoy, and re solved with a true British sp irit to p rotest against their . subversion or infringement either by violent or insidious attack, we conceive that not a moment ought to be lost by every good stihject, to join in this declaration, in order to prevent this happy country from becoming a prey either to the acts of the thoughtless, - or what is still more threatening, to the deep de signs of promoters of anarchy and revolution." -'-0 14 T R - Y.

PoßTsmouTn, - SEPT. L4.—Yesterday orders were re crivrd here tor the Active, Sir .IaSIC.S GORDON, to pro ceed immediately for Brighton, to wait on the King; the wind failipg, she remained here till this morning, when sod denly orders were issued for her and the Liffey, the Hon. Capt. IltrNca's„ instantly, to proceed to Lisbon : supposed to give every facility to such of the British as may feel disposed to ship Themsel \es. or their property. The Liffey, on her re turn from Lisbon, will proceed, as we stated yesterday, to the East Indies. Capt. STANFEIA , will take her out, in the room of the lion. Capt. DoNCAN. The bIOSSOM is fitting for St. Helena, and will go nut of harbour on the 20th. Her present orders are to proceed to sea in three days, at farthest, after the 20th. His MAJESTY having sigtitiesl his intention of taking an aquatic excursion, the necessary orders were itts mediately issued to get the Royal GeOrge (the. King's owe yacht) instantly ready for sea. These orders were so promptly obeyed, that though they were received only at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, she was, by ten o'clock this morning, ready for sea, towed out of harbour at twelve, and will im mediately proceed to Brighton. She was' completely, dis mantled and not a,spar standing yesterday at three' and the exertions made to get her ready are highly sp oken of. A dis patch had been sent to Commodore Sir CHARLES PAGET; at Faitack, and lie arrived here in the night. The greatest ac tivity is observed, and the port is in great hustle to get off the frigates for Lisbon, and fit out the squadron to accom pany the Royal yachts, for which latter purpose the follow ing ships castle in this morning (from cruising) to form part: —Hind, Sir H. By (MOWS; Csme.leon brig, Captain MINGAY ; the Brisk, and Catneieon cutter. The Blossom, it is suppos ed, will form . one of the squadron, in the room of the Active. After which she will proceed to St. Helena. The remainder of the 9d Royal Veterans embarked this morning, to join the first division in Ireland. The transports under Lieutenant Coargs, Royal Navy Agent, wa.;l sail trom this port on Satur day for Cork, to take oil board the 81st regiment for Halifax, where the same ships will embark the 15th Foot, and bring .them to England. Since writing the above, the Redpole ar rived with a smuggling logger which she has captured. The Redpole was instantly ordered to join the Liffey and Active, for Lisbon. file above, with the Creole frigate, uow at Lis bon, will form a squadron. PotursmouTti, SEPT. lb.—Arrived the, Importer transport, front the Cape. Sailed his Majesty's ship Active for Lisbon. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 14 . —Arrived the f ord Mnlgrave, dall, front Quebec; she spoke on - 13th August, in the River St. Laurence, the Thomas transport. SCILLY, SEPT..I2.—The Dutch ship Sonraybaya, Keuneff, limn Batavia, for Amsterdam, has had supplies from these Islands. DEAL, SF:I7. 15. —Arri , •ed and sailed for the River the Mulgrave Castle„Ralph,.from Bombay. MARGATE. Sem io.—Arrived off this •place the Justina, Kemp, from Virginia for London, and has been supplied with.a cable. ' f riiE TD'EATRE.—Mr. KEAN last night per formed ShN/ock at Drury Lane Theatre, the part in which he first appeared at that Thea tre before a London audience. s The part is better suited to his talents than any other in which he has appeared, as it requires nothing of heroic grace, or majestic deportment, and de mands nothing but cold malignity, furiou s an ger, and. determined reveuge.—lie performed full as well as usual. Mrs. BLAND being indis posed, the part of Jessica was assigned to Miss CUBIT; who improves in acting, but, addresses herself too much to the audience. Mr. BRUN', TON, whose merit as an actor is well known, ac quitted himself with judgment and feeling in .Passanio. Miss CARR, a very pretty and pro mising young Actress, appeared to advantage in .L\erissa. Mrs. WEST was more playful in Portia than we eizpected,, and sufficiently impressive in the trial scene; The Play was well. attended, and the audience were liberal in applause. NEW COLONY OF SOUTH AFRICA.—A letter has been received from the New Colony in South Africa, by a most respectable Gentleman of the City, from his nephew, who went out with YO farming men of Wales ; he .describes his situation as extremely good and promising, with 'a large allotment of excellent land, with much timber on it ; his vegetables coming up in the first 15 days after. occupying the land—all well content ed with their situation and prospects. One serious drawback was felt in their being altogether un. provided with ploughs, which either had not been shipped at all, or the• vessel in which they were had not arrived. The Liffey frigate, and• some other vessels, have received orders for Lisbon, it is supposed for the purpose of affording every•facility to such British subjects, resident in Portugal, as may be disposed to remove their persons and pro perty- from that country. The greatest activity prevails at Portsmouth in fitting them out and making the necessary preparations. The Imperial Pulteney Hotel, in Piccadilly, opposite the Green Park, is the last house pro posed by Government to the QUEEN. We un derstand her MAJ ESTY has notified- her appro bation in a letter forwa rded som e days since to Colonel STEVENSON, to which as yet her MA JESTY has received no answer.— (Morning raper.) Yesterday a Spauish courier arrived at the re sidence of his Excellency the Duke de Fatits,in Portland-place, with dispatches from the Court of Madrid. . Yesterday forenoon the Duke and Duchess de CAZ ES visited their Country Villa, near Har row-on-the returned to their 'residence i n Portland-plat ;in the afternoon to dinner. His Excellency. Prince PAIR, ....FATEituAzy re turned to town from Worthing, on Tuesday la st, in consequence of urgent dispatches from Vienna. FOR VIE 'SUN: MR. EDITOR---4 am too well acquainted with the false taste for depreciation which prevails so generally in the world, to be surprised at the Remarks just published, upon the legality of certain Questions, proposed by the Bishop of Lizscor.sr, to Candidates for Holy Orders. In this Pamphlet, the Bishop is accused of usurping the plan of an established Test, and. forming new Articles of Faith for the Clergy of his Diocese. To my mind, however, these Questions alp pear to be drawn up, not to establish any new Test or new Articles of Faith ; but to try the spirits of the Candidates, by applying the old, as far as they can be applied, in their genuine and full sense, with all that vigour of intellect, . and logical acumen, for which this Prelate, in a long life of controversy, has' shone forth so pre-eminent.. These Questions constitute a great part of the Pamphlet, and so far- may tend to preserve it from that fate which its. presumption labours so richly to deserve. For what can it, be but the greatest presureption, dispute the sacred right of a Bishop in his Diocese, to pia them or afty other such Questions, as may. be thought. in his wisdom necessary for discerning the spirits of them that are to be ex mined for. Holy Orders ? It is said, that the design of those who corn+ piled these Articles, as set forth in the title, is to avow diversity of opinions, and to establish consent touching ,true' Religion ; and this is the very object which the Bishop must have conlem plated—Ao avoid a diversity of opinion, every where pernicious—but most of all when it pre vails in the Church itself, among its own Minis ters, as the kingdom divided against itself must fall. To prevent this division, the Bishop gives the Candidate an opportunity of examining himself before he ventures into his presence fin - examina tion ; and proposes his Questions in - so clear a light, that it requires nothing but common sense, and a good conscience, to return a direct answer. If, after this, there should still be a diversity' of opinion, it cannot be the Bishop's fault, but the: fault of the individual, or, perhaps, the result of that variety . which will adhere after all , our efforts and restraints to this diversified form of things. It is also objected, that we are com manded to submit to the Articles in their full. and plain meaning, and to take them in the lite ral and grammatical sense ; but we should not forget, that this command is issued in a Royal' Declaration, ascribed to CHARLES 1., most pro bably about seventy years after the publication Of the Articles themselves, and therefore, licit fairly interpreting the sense of those who coM piled them ; and with respect to the last objec tion, that this Declaration " providics against the exercise of private authority or judgm'ent in:any change deemed necessary"—this surely 'can never apply to the Bishop in his public capacity, when he' is acting as one of the Representative s of the Church, delegated by their authority * --;. and in a matter, where there ,is no change in con templation, but rather an earnest zeal to preserve the old Articles of our Church, pure, and invio late. This zeal may be more requisite at one period than it is at another ; of that, hOwever,the Bishop-is the best judge—and, I make no doubt, has shewn his judgment in fixing upon this pre sent period, to question the Candidates more m inutely in those Articles, which are signed by many in their present -form, who would scruple to sign them in their real spirit. There are many, I fear, even in the Church, among its'oa , n Ministers, who shelter their conscience under the Letter of the Law, and many then might - be ad initted, if the spirit of these Questions did 'not interpose, and so be enabled to fight against the Church with its own- weapons ; under the, sane= tion of Episcopal Authority ; and if is to exclude such as there from the Church, who are the worst of all foes, being of her own household, that this more particular examination has 'been proposed, which the more impartially it is considered, will be only-the more admired for its closeness and adaptation to the purpose for which .it was in tended. What right the Author of this Pamphlet has to- dispute its legality, or cast any reflection upon it, can only remain with his own conscience, but to me it appears, that for'such an interposition it is necessary that he should be an . Archbishop,. or Bishop at least, if he is in the Church, and if not, that it is the most arrogant presumption to interfere in matters that concern only Church Authority —Nc bus ,Minervarn. ANECDOTE OF MARSHALL DE BRISSAC.—This celebrated General displayed, on a striking oc casion, the qualities of a great mind, by the pu nishment of disobedience, and the recompense he bestowed on exalted valour; having.arrangedl his army for battl:: at the siege of Vjgnal, in Montserrat, in order to take it by assault, an officer named Roissy, rushed forward with the major part of the assailants, without waiting for the signal, mounted the breach sword in hand, killed every thing before him, and so astonished. the Spaniards by his intrepidity , that die fortress was immediately - carried. Marshal grissac, not withstanding his heroism, brought him to a Court Martial, and without a dissentient voice, hemes condemned to suffer death.. t 4 Mon aini," said Brissac to him " la loi juge l'action : je veux etre clement en faveur du motif.

The Times, with'all its impudence, does not deny the facts stated ; but pretends to consider them as trifles ! The Chronicle, within the 'last two days, has been justifying matrimonial incontinence, on the ground of its having only been committed for six years, with one indivi dual! The answers to addresses have invariably spo ken of a verdict of guilty, as a thing to be ex pected ; but the answer to the Edinburgh ad dress in particular, admits it as a thing certain ; whilst HER MAJESTY, in the answer to the Sea men, is made to say that she relies upon 41te Army and Navy for protection! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT! EH !'• Caoss-ExAstiNATios.—Not many years ago, an honest blunt farmer, Old JOHN MORROW by name, noted as much foi his sanctity as, for his sincerity, and Ekjer of a Presbyterian Con gregation in a district of the County of Down, where very broad,Scotch is spoken, waited upon his Landlord to pay his half-year's rent.—A well known Dublin Barrister, at that period, hap pened to be there upon a visit; and the Lawyer, having heard of MORROW'S blunt wit, was . anxious to see him. Old JOHN was accordingly ushered up to the drawing-room, like Sampson amongst the Philistines, to Inake, sport ; and no sooner had he taken his place, free and easy, amongst the Ladies, than the Barrister began to cut.—Old JOHN for some time gave cut for Cut, when at length his antagonist said, " Come, Mr. MORROW, you read your Bible, I understand — you are an Elder, and . am a Late . yer—pray, qow, which of us has the best chance of going to Heaven—you or I ?"—" Aweel awat!" replied JOHN, in his broad Scotch, " gif you look in the 23d chapter of Revelations, you will read of four and-twenty Elders sitting before the Throne ; but the de'il a word there is about Laze-veers in the hail! beuk!" The KING has resumed his intention of:enjoy ing an equatic excursion, notwithstanding the advanced state of the'. season. Immediately after his arrival at Brighton, o, der were sent to Portsmouth to get the itoyal George,. the. KING'S own yacht, immediately ready for sea, and not one moment was lost ,in ,carrying them into effect. The Hind, Cameleon, Brisk,"and Blossom, will fond part of the squadron. German Papers were received last night ; but their contents are, either for the greater•part in consequential, or have been anticipated by re cent arrivals.
