THE SUN. 44 . QUIS DICEILE FALSUJI iIUbEAT rup c , , EVENI LONDON NG, MARCH 29, 1825. There was some conversation in the House of Commons last night on the subject of Catho lic Emancipation, and a distinct proposition Made of disfranchising the forty shillings Free holders, an d Pa Yin; the Catholic Priests of Ir eland out of the Publi c purse . Av e rse as we !till are to the Catholic Emancipation Bill no w before Parliament, these two measures would but Still further increase our dislike. The question °f Catholic Emancipation is a very doubtful ° tie of itself, how much the more objectionable, th en does it become, when we are told that if it succeeds the people of England are to be taxed ta Pay the Irish priesthood 250,0001. per annum, just to keep all quiet. The disfranchising of the fo f rty shilling Freehold ers i s a ques ti o n which, considered with reference to the Catho lic Emancipation Bill, does seem a mea sare necessary for the safety of the State sh ould that Bill ever pass into a law ; but even ' h en, it would b e b a d prece d en t, an d we feel little hesitation in saying, that should it be ap- Pli ed to Ireland in the first instance, it will be applied to Great B r it a i n i n a very little while afterwards. Who was the original promoter of "le Measure for the payment of the Irish priests, lye Cannot say. In these matters people gene rally act from their own feelings, and we pre sume that this person well knowing that such a tn. h e4sur e would c onc ili a t e hi m an d remove °PPositi on, very fairly concludes, it will it alTe the sam e effect upon the Catholic Priests ; nd Perh aps it would, but it is a very mis ctie"us and i mmora l pr i nc i p l e, an d if the th etl-I° lic Qu es ti on cannot b e carr i e d w i t h out th e ai d of th ese measures to qualify the danger t • t o apprehend e d t o ar i se f rom i t, i t ought not be l . " 4 "q. Th e con d uct o f the Irish lately t n ot be en such as to deserve a boon of this aid re; they ha ve b een rebellious and disloyal, tt their violence ha , broken out into open acts o f of 1 murder an d ro b bery, until the very idea w e ivi ng in I re l and, is spoken of with horror.— I rish ar e told, t oo , not to object to pay the Catholic Clergy this enormous sum, be- Cause we h s all save 3,000,000/. annually in sol diers.(6ceiCan any body i n their s o b er senses b e lito_ved by such a f a l lacy ? Reduce your mi- Y the required amount, in the first in- R ao c e) and then we will talk about the saving, otherwise we may rest assured we shall have both the military and the clergy to pay. It is a very strange argument to use, because if paying the Clergy is to take away the necessity of sup porting a military force in Ireland, it follows that the military force was required to keep down the tumults which the Clergy created (a fact which has been hitherto flatly denied), and by a new mode of reasoning in the science of po litical economy, the way to suppress a tumult is to pay the ringleaders to be quiet ; a most effi cacious method truly, but altogether very ruinous to the King's Exchequer. The Irish Clergy claim the possessions the Protestant Clergy now hold ; is it then to be hoped that they will be satisfied with any thing short of an equal amount of revenue ? If an Irish Protestant Archbishop has 12,0001. or 14,0001. per annum an Irish Ca tholic Archbishop must have at least as much, and so we should go on through all the gradations of Ecclesiastical Dignities, and doubtless as we the payers of this large sum are in their eyes he retics, and without the pale of the Christian Church, the money will be received as Law ful spoliation of the enemy, and spent not in buying masses for the benefit of our souls, but in devoutly consigning us to per haps very warm quarters. The French Pro testants it is said receive annually a large sum from the French Government, w hick is a Ca tholic Government, but the case is very dif ferent here ; it is very possible for a Pro testant to be a good subject to a Catholic King, but it is quite impossible so long as he maintains the infallibility and superiority of the Pope, for a Catholic to be a good subject of a Protestant King. The great difficulty in the Catholic Question has been the distinction—what are the spiritual doctrines of the religion, and what are in themselves temporal doctrines only, but in sisted on by Catholics as spiritual doctrines. To the former we would give all latitude ; but the latter, if not opposed, ought not to be yielded to. The doctrine of Transubstantiation, and all other doctrines of the like nature, we are ready to admit as strictly spiritual doctrines ; but the doctrine of the infallibility and supremacy of the Pope, both in and out of his dominions, are merely temporal doctrines,and therefore deserve no consideration. The supremacy of the King of ENGLAND within his own dominions is insist ed on by members of the Church of England, but it does not on that account become a part of their religion ; it is a matter of fact open to denial, if any body could be so mad as to do so. The su premacy of the Pope stands on precisely the same footing,—why then is it to be made a matter of conscience, and treated with the delicacy such matters deserve. Consummate policy grafted the doctrine on the Religion as a spiritual doc. trine, but it is not so in point of fact or reason ; therefore, whilst we are ready to give up the de claration against Transubstantiation, we still feel that the oath of allegiance and supremacy ought to be preserved entire. It appears by Frankfort Papers of the 22d instant, which arrived this morning, that Vis count I)EBASSIN DE RICIIEMON, who is appointed Chief Commissioner from the King of FRANCE in the French Settlements in India, arrived at Rad zievilous on the nth of February. He had a letter of recommendation from Count Pozzo nr Bonoo, Russian Ambassador at the French Court, to the Postmaster at Radzievilous, who was requested to forward his journey with all speed by way of Odessa and Tiflis, and to give him an order for post horses. He set out again the same day. We have received a Sierra Leone Royal Ga zette, of the 29th January. The following is an extract:— " FREETOWN, JAN. 29.—We had for some days felt ex tremely anxious respecting the fate of our worthy Collector, A. W. F. PERCEV AL, Esq. and Lieutenant JEAYES, of his Majesty's Colonial brig Prince Regent, who had proceeded to the Isles de Loss, in an open boat, in search of a smuggler, and had been absent seventeen days without our receiving any intelligence of their having reached the islands.—Our readers will readily judge how truly gratified we were to hear on Mon day, by means of a sloop from the Cape de Verde Islands, that our friends were off the Cape, towing in the French cutter Les Deux Sours, HEN RY 31E MONT, master, with 132 slaves on board ; eight men of the crew having been murdered by the slaves, who had risen on them after leaving the river Sherbro, the place where they shipped these unfortunate victims. She was seized, we understand, within a short distance of Factory Island, in our own waters; but as we have been promised some details, we shall deter giving the information we have re ceived, and which throws considerable light on the subject of the French Slave Trade, until we are in possession of the whole of the particulars of the case." It is reported that Government have received this morning dispatch e s from Vienna. The new Danish Loan was brought out this morning at 75, the contract price. The first payment of five per cent. is to be made on the 31st instant, and the whole of the instalments are to be paid up on the 31st October. The marriage of the Princess MARIA of lIESSE.• CASSEL was to take place on the 23d instaut, at 7 o'clock in the evening, at the palace of Belle vue. The fetes at Court Nvill continue three days. AUSTRIAN HIERARCIIY.—i n the year 1824 th e number of Bishopricks in the whole Austrian Monarchy was one hundred ; among the number were-5 Prince Archbishops, 10 Archbishops, 5 Prince Bishops ; 17 of these were Privy Counsellors to his Majesty. Ma. RAE WILSON. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EntTost—As a learned man, who signs himself Hic—or Hoc—for, like him,' I have not the matter before tne,"—has taken upon himself spontaneously to write a dozen of lines, after ten days' study, en the subject of the Bad Grammar • and Dancing Mountains in Judea, to which, I suppose, he played the fiddle ; and to show his learning has quoted Iludibras and a line from a Classic : [ shall merely confine myself to declare that I shall not he satisfied with any evasions or equivocations, but a direct explanation of the passage, which you, Mr. Editor, puffed off as a Composition on Lent, by Mr. RAE WILSON. — When you clear up the Chaotic passage, my in quiries cease! I have no other object in view but information, which you, as a public Jour nalist, are bound ex debit() justicice, to give the public on abstruse and unintelligible subjects.— You see I could have translated the word Amicus myself, had Mr. " Hic" waited or asked me to, do so. Having met him with Latin, I would give him a bit of Greek, but that might be worse than Arabic in the Holy Land, so I shall con clude with his favourite Author, Iludibras Thou, that with ale, or viler liquors Did'st inspire Withers, Pryn, and Vickars, And force them—though it,was in spite Of nature and their stars to write With vanity, opinion, scant The wonder of the ignorant, The praises of the thor penn'd By himself! —or wit ensuring friend— Canst make a writer spite of fate, And teach all people to translate, Though out of languages in which They understand no part of speech I think that Rae and " Hic" are kin, So put 'em in a bag and shake 'em, No living creature could mistake 'em ; For 'tis not hard to imagine whether The two is worst, though 1 name neither. A SUBSCRIBER AND AMICUS. Mr. Secretary CANNING came to town yester day, from Gloucester Lodge, and transacted business at the Foreign-office. The Earl of LivcapooL transacted business with Mr. CAN NING in t'.e afternoon. It transpired in the House of Commons last night, in the course of conversation on some grants for public buildings, that there is to be a new gallery fbr the exhibition of paintings, instead of the Royal Academy's present rooms at Somerset House, which rooms are to be given to the Royal Society; and that Somerset House fronting the Thames is likely to be finished, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stating, t! - at Mr. SMIRKE had been desired to prepare plans for such purpose. COUnt PALMELLA, who has recently been re appointed Ambassador from Portugal, is shortly expected to arrive in a Portuguese frigate. THE GltEEKS.—Extract from a letter received yesterday, by way of Trieste, from Zante, dated March 3 : " The Turkish and Egyptian fleets have arrived in port at Coron and Motion, where they have landed troops. The pre parations by the Greeks for the attack of Patras still continue; but the four blockading vessels, by the last accounts, are under weigh off Chiarenza, through fear of the Turkish fleet at Mo don. It is said that a considerable force of Albanians is about to commence operations by land against the Morea." General THORNTON has given notice of the following motion at the next General Quarterly Court at the India House, viz.—" Resolved, It appearing by the printed Hyderabad Papers, that Rajah Chundoo Loll sent a letter to Lieutenant Barnett, the Assistant to Sir C. J. - Metcalfe, Bart. the President, who was acting for him during his absence from Hyderabad on a tour. contaimag representations and complaints which the Rajah desired might be communicated to the Supreme Government, and in page 23J, that Lieutenant Barnett mention ed to Sir C. J. Metcalfe, when be esiet him on his return, that he had received such a note, and described its contents ; and likewise by Sir C. J. Metcalfe's own statement, in page 241, that he did peruse the origin a l note t h oroug hl y an d carefully, after having previously contented himself with Lieut. Bar nett's report of its substance, and with looking at particular parts; notwithstanding which, neither Sir C. J. Metcalfe, nor Lieut. Barnet, did communicate the contents to the Governor- General in Council, but the Supreme Government was kept in ignorance of any such appeal, until communicated by the Rajah through another channel, when several acts of Oppres sion, complained of in the conduct of Sir C. J. Metcalfe, were ordered by the Governor-General in Council to be redressed, in instructions inserted in page 224, and the following pages:— That it be therefore recommended to the Court of Direc tors to be pleased to make regulations, in order to prevent in future so improper and dangerous a proceeding as the suppres sion or interruption of appeals or complaints, whether just or unjust, from the native Governments to the Supreme Go vernment—that, if just, the grievances complained of may be redressed as soon as possible; and, if unjust, explanations may be entered into without loss of time, and a good understanding promoted."' EXECUTION OF PAPAVOINE.—It was about noon when an officer of the Cour Royale went to Papavoine, in the prison of the Bicetre, to conduct him to the Conciergerie. He employed, as usual, an innocent artifice to spare the crimi nal the shock of a too prompt communication. When the hor rible truth burst upon him, an expression of terror was visible on all his features ; his whole frame shuddered. lie soon re gained his composure, and up to the instant of his death be trayed no further symptom of weakness. Papavoine ate his breakfast, and made his last declarations, in which he persisted in saying that the derangement caused in his intellectual orga nization, by long and irreparable calamities, had alone prompt ed him to commit the crime. Ile assisted the execuion rs in taking off his dress and the collar of his shirt, and his hair being cut off, the blue great coat which he wore on the trial, and on the day he committed the murders, was thrown over his shoulders. lie contemplated with a lock of attentive curiosity the spectacle of which he was the principal object, and he moved a little on one side of the narrow sledge, and inquired if his confessor was comfortable; to his words he seemed to pay the utmost attention. At a quarter past four, Papavoine ceased to exist. EXECUTION RESPITED.--Yesterclay afternoon an order from the Secretary of State's Office arrived at New gate, respiting for one week the execution of James Dovey and Roger Adams, who were expected to suffer this morning. , where Mr. MoNTAnuE Yesterday aftern oon w.ts arguing on a bankrupt s petition before the VICE-CitAm. ctLi.o a, the Court was thrown into a momentary confusion, in consequence of a crowd of persons rushing into the Court. They were alarmed, it seemed at the sudden and unex picted appearance of a mad bullock, which entere d Lin coln's.inn by Chancery-lan e , pursued by a party ea boys, butchers, and dogs. The infuriated animal endeavoured to enter the doors of the Court, but a person who had fled from it, and who had effected his security, closed them just as the bullock was at the threshold. The animal then turned round, and ran into Carey-street, followed by a numerous party of assailants.

SHERIDAN.—A son of the late Mr. JOHN PALmca, one of the best actors of his day, was recently brought before the Lord Mayor in a state of extreme distress. In relating his situation to his Lordship, he stated, that a be nefit had been given to his father's family, but that it was during the management of Mr. SHERI DAN, and that the family derived no advantage from it. To disprove this implied charge against Mr. SHF.IIIDAN, the following article has been published : In justice to the memory of the late Mr. SHERIDAN we are authorised by il3r. DUNN, the Treasurer of Drury-lane Theatre, to give the following extract from the books of the Theatre, in contradiction to the assertion made by the son of the late Mr. JOHN PALMER, before the LORD MAYOR re. specting the benefit given to the family :- 15th Sept. 1798—T0 receipt of the house Charge for renters and annuities - Balance paid into the hands of the bankers, Messrs. Hammersley and Co., Pall-mall, to the credit of the orphan family - - - £469 17 0 As the accuracy and integrity of Mr. DUNN cannot be doubted, it may reasonably be sup posed that Mr. PALMER'S son was too young at his father's death to be apprized of the account now brought forward, rather than that he would wantonly attack the character of Mr. SHERIDAN by a falsehood. - £571 15 0 - - 101 18 0 The following article appears in The Morning Herald of this day ; and, from all we have heard of the Lady in question, we rely on this account of her liberality. Mrs. DULANY is the sister of Mr. DULANY of Downing-street, an American Loyalist, who died last summer, and who was well known and much esteemed in the higher circles : " BRIGHTON', MARCH 27.—Mrs. Dulany, a lady who has been residing for some time past in Brighton, and who is very rich, having, in addition to an income which was always large, came into the possession, a few months since, of considerable property, by the death of a brother, has a daughter, of whom she is exceedingly fond, and who has, for several years, been afflicted with an illness from which the physicians to whom she applied, could give no relief. She was at length advised to con sult Dr. Yates. She did so, and in the course of three months her daughter was cured. The gratitude of Mrs. Dulany knew no hounds. In addition to the established medical fees she presented the Doctor with a check for 1,001) guineas, and not content with this, has given him a carriage and horses, the for mer built in the most handsome style, which cost 300 guineas. She has also insisted on defraying the expellees incurrred by the establishment of coach and horses. Besides this, Mrs. Dulany presented Mrs. Yates with a valuable diamond ring, and on New Year's Day s ent th e D octor a watc h which cost 99 gui neas. And further, she has made a present of 500/. to the young lady Miss whose recommendation induced her to con suit her daughter's ugh(tDerr?

Yesterday the Privy Council Office in White. hall was sold in a variety of lots, previous to the building being pulled down for another to be erected upon the same scite more appropriate for the business to be transacted in. Yesterday, being the Monday in Passion Week, his Majesty's minor alms were distributed, under the imme diate order of his Grace the Lord High Almoner, to 800 per sons, who had previously applied for relief by Mr. Hanby, his Grace's Secretary, at the Almonry Office. —The Allaunday hall3lonies (4d., 3d., 2d., Id.) were issued by th e Mint Office last week. New dies were prepared for the occasion.—lt is in tended to distribute his Majesty's Royal Maundy, at White- Chapel, pn Thursday next, with the usual formalities. A new species of prolific and shuekless Oat has lately been cultivated by Mr. NIGHTINGALE of West Moulsey, Surrey. These Oats weigh 50 lb. per bushel : they are stated to be excellent for oatmeal, and far more productive than the common Oat. A Northern Journal states, that its late Cor respondence with the Hans towns, goes to esta bli sh the follow ing facts, n a mely, that, during the late tempests, the sea threw up a great number of serpents upon the vario us s h ores of the North of Europe; and that the Baltic, dri ven b y i mpetuous hurricanes, had encroached considerably upon the land in many places.

REAL DEL. MONTE MINE COMPANY. K IND E R V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning pro nounced his judgment in the above case, which our readers may remember came before him on a motion for an injunction to restrain the defend ants from working the Bolanos Mine, on the ground that the plaintiff, as a shareholder in the Del Monte Company, was entitled to a sPa'rt. therein. The real question at issue was, whether the Bolanos Mine was, or not, part of the pro perty belonging to the Del Monte Company. • The LORD CHANCELLOR, at very great length, expressed his grounds for considering it to be' a distinct and separate undertaking, and concludeil by dismissing the bill of the plaintiff, praying the injunction on that ground. His Lordship, in the course of his observations, took occasion to ex .- 1 press a strong suspicion that the constitution of the Real del Monte Company would come within the scope of that part of the Bubble Act which; makes the assuming to act as a Corporate Body a penal offence. His Lordship also cautioned the Public against entertaining an idea that in enterim4 any Joint Stock Company their liability was con fined to the sum they subscribed, and assured them, that however the deed of settlement might be worded, it could not possibly release them from their responsibility for the debts of the Company to the utmost farthing they might be possessed of. .

The Tariff authorised by this Republic comes opportunely to greel and corroborate the improved system of English commercial policy which 111 r. HUSKISSON so ably recommended in his speech of last Friday. The staple manufacture of England, • cotton cloths, are admitted to Colombia in Colombian vessels at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. ; in British vessels of lji per cent. Silks at 15 and 221 respectively. The acqui- .).i scion of knowledge is facilitated by a free admission of books in every language. Maps, pictures, philosophical instruments, statues, medals, &c. are likewise admitted freely. Implements of agriculture, and all machines for pre paring and working the productions of the soil, as well as those for the extraction and preparation of medals, are placei upon the same salutary footing. In some respects the Co lombian Government follows the old course prescribed by prejudice or fashion. The Native productions are fencel round with prohibitory duties, such as coffee, indigo, sugar, &c., &c.; and all the productions and manufactures of Spain and her dependencies. A duty 03 consumption, in the nature of an excise, amounting to three per cent. on all imported articles, must be added to our estimate of ele charges above described.—For the sake of revenue, a duty has been laid upon the native exports from Colombia, though, we • conceive with little regard to policy, as the object of the new Government ought to he, to send the productions of their soil over the world, unincumbered by any artificial pressure. According to an official account in the Swedish newspapers, the expences last year on the Canal of Gotha were 557,164 rix dollar; and an addition was made to its length of 11,706 ells, about 4 miles English. Si nce th e wor k fi rst com menced, the total disbursements have amounted to 6,532,101 rix dollars—upwards of one Million pounds sterling, a prodi gious sum for Sweden. Johnson, the informer, has been at work with the pawnbrokers of the metropolis ; a great number was sum moned to illarylebone-office on Saturday, for various infornm lities in their business, in not asking the names of the pledger, according to Act of Parliament, &c. All the defendants were convicted in the penalty of 40s. for each offence. The ensuing Old Bailey Sessions are likely to be very heavy • up to Saturday there wer e 260 p r i soners com mitted for trial, many of whom are charged with the commis sion of capital offences. Probert and Thus Thurtell, although confined in thesame prison, have not seen ea.th other since their commitment, and they studiously avoid it, by making inquiri(s as to whether the other attends at the chapel service, by which means they are prevented from meeting. MELANCHOLY EvENT.-A melancho'y occur - rence took place at Christ's Church, Newgat'-stivet, on tz,e forenoon of Sunday ; the Rev. Mr. Crowther, while reading the Litany, was suddenly seized with apoplexy, aid has ever since continued speechless. Mr. Poynder, the Treasurer of Christ's Hospital, and several other gentlemen, immediately quitted their seats to go to his assistance. D r . Farr also was present, who rendered every possible assistance. The melancholy which pervaded the whole congregation is not to be described, as Mr. Crowther has long possessed the affection, esteem, and vene:e. , tion of the whole parish. BY.
