la ev. ;diem:lt(' the he2rts pit your f:iiihful subjects itt this cart of your kiln:dotty, where the attach ment to the Catholic faith is stronger and more lively than in any other country in Eur Ope. " Already the Pule Lunation of your Majesty, • - Which announced that the new Constittttion should ensure the liberty of relieion, and give all equal favour anti protection, Idled every heart ivittt,e sternation. It is known that this dan gere•-i'-v-!tan is one of the main articles of the modern philosophy, which has been the source of so 111Htly 'misfortunes to us—that evi - Mitly aims at exe;ting indifference to all religions —at lessen ing their influence from day to day, and at (le stroying themJn the end - entirely. " We are bound, Sire, to tell you the truth in Its full extent. The Clergy of these provinces have not observed without pain, that yonr Ma jesty has been perstisdetl to exclude them front the assemblies in which the great interests of the State Were discussed ; that the phut of the new Consti ution contains honourable distiuctions fur the Nobility. and that the Clergy, - once the first ela-s it& the State,. is dept bred of them; that it will not eyed have the right of being represented in the Provincial Assemblies; that its influence on the acceptance of the new constittdon is carcc fully removed, o that the most distinguished members of the Clergy, accordotg to the expres sions of your Majesty's proclamation, are not among 'the persons most w ort by of the. confidence of their tellow-eitizens ; laStly, that they are not allowed 10 inscribe tl.eir disapproving votes on the !fists of the Notables. " All nitric are measures (we say it with grief to your :Majesty) which can appear to us only as sin 'unhappy omen for the future, since your Ma est y's Minister's already account the opinions and votes of the% whole'elerey for nothing—upon sub jects whicl i are as much within their cognizance as that of other private persons—nay, their peculiar province, as far as the interest of religion is con,. eerned. " It is impossible to calculate all the ill conse quences that may arise front the continuation of inch a plan ; for if the Catholic Clergy are no none to he consulted upon the concerns of the church, if it is decided that they can have no shale, or at least only an accidental share in making the laws, especially those ielative to ecclesiastical ju risdiction, how can they hinder any encroachment upon the inalienable rights -a the episcopal dig nity which belong to the Catholic Church, and to t he privileges which your Majesty insures tdit ?May they no,t be arbitrarily lessened iu national as semblies, when the Clergy have no iulinence, or,- at the most, a very precarious one ? " Experience has proved how idtpcirtant it is that the Clergy posses a high Tank - in the state. The respect they enjoy extends to the religion, it, ielf, which teaches it. However great the per-, ?..onal merit of the servants of the church may be, vet in oar times, if it is not supported by high rank and legal privileges, which ennoble the lune tiors o f the priestlicrid in the eves of the peof4e, ihe Clergy ein ! k ilpose but a weak buiwarlt to - the 'disorders which it has continually to contend with. 'flue interest, peace. aim welfare of a state de pends chiefi•, ott the . state of morals. There are no good morals where there is no religion. As things now stand, religion is more or less re sirected; in roeortion as its servants are more or Jef,, honoured and rtnecttet, according to the exisain - laws. It is easy to confine the good in vine hounds, but the wicked dare every thing ag ,,, :ls t Cicrgy which does not enjoy a certain ftspect in the state. " Your Majesty has doubtless remarked, that the Catholic vliich was established again in France by the Concorticit; did not produce the expected effect, because, by the system of the Sovereign, the Clergy enjoyed no rank, no con sideration, no it:thence..in the State. They were to be accounted as,nothing; they were oppressed by all the inferior authorities ; they sonn became, as it was intended they should, incapable of exer cising g ood, or of preventing evil. • We have the confidence that your Majesty will deign, in the submissive and respect ltd re'pre sentations which we make to you, in the frank expression of our' sentiments, to see only the ful filment of one of our most important duties outlet present circumstances, only a new proof of our devotion to your sacred Person, only the sincere wish that.your Majesty may reign ,over these fine provinces iii constant peace, by a perfectly pater mill government, and by a powerful and durable Heim) bets een the Clergy and the Royal Ai.l;.

HAMBURGII, Auo. 30.—A notification has been made to our St-pate, on the part of the English Viovvrittnent, that it will exert itself in the nego tiations at l'aris, to procure from France the res titution of t h e funds of the Hamburgh hank.— f rhis news has excited uncommon j4,y here, for we are ciinvitired that if Eugland seriously insists upon this restitution, it will - most assuredly be made.

The siege of Fort de Salins is continued with vigour. The following are details that may be depended upon, respecting the individual %vi►o has been in the South endeavouring to pass himself off for Napoleon .Buonaparte . • This adventurer is nained Felix. He is 45 years of age, originally from Piedmont, and mar ried, it is said, to a woMan.wboin lie has aban doned ; his: height, his fiLzure, his carriage, and his voice ,olnewltat resemble the personage whose name. he assu►mcd. For the-rest nothing can be more absurd thaa the fables which this •miscrable creature has sent abroad. In the littiE where he has been arrested, he told evety body that he was Buonaparte ; that four of his Generals would come there to ,join him, and that he should then put himself at 'the head of four corps d'arm4e, with which he should proceeil to extirpate the Al lied troops in all parts of the kingdom. •• • lie added to these statements fooleries so ridi culous that many wete led to take him for a 'mad man. "The Mayor, however, thought it his duty to arrest him, and this was done withoutopposi tion. Those, even who seemed to listen to him shelved but one anxiety to avoid him. This Felix is now in the prison of Vienne (in here), ‘vhere he will remain till .his case is de cided upon in a Court of Justice. (From the ihmiteur.) A letter dated St„Arieux, 12th Seßtember, states, that the Prussiair troops in tkat . quarter are not to penetrate beyond ,the arondilseinent of Dinan.
