SOLED' QUIS DICERE F.ILSUN .4U1.E.1T LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 18 2 5. The French Papers of Monday arrived last night. We have given extracts in another column. A valuable Correspondent has favoured us with the following remarks, which appear to us so strong and convinciug, that we give them a place with pleasure in our columns. Ile calls them A FEW REASONS WHY THE DEMANDS OF THE PAPISTS SHOULD NOT BE CONCEDED. I. Because it is contrary to the safety and well-being of any Constitution that persons should be suffered to administer it who will not swear to recognize all its authorities without any reservation ; and because the spiritual authority of the Church of Rome is more binding upon its Members IN ALT. MATTERS than any temporal au_ thority Whatever, and is in fact with,them the highest temporal authority. 11. Because the Church of Rome is by no means definite on the subject even of the tern pond power of the Pope ; some of her ablest writers having defended it , and some opposed it, as interest might lead ; and because the Popes have always claimed this authority in the most unequivocal and unlimited terms. 111. Because those who tell us that this mea sure is not subversive of our Constitution, tell us that the dominion of Popish Priests has been the subversion of liberty every where else, and shew their respect for the highest assembly in the land, and an integral part of our Constitution, by call ing it 4 6 a den of thieves ;" and because those who t e ll us that this measure will not injure the Church, shew their respect for the same by calling its Mi and by treating t n h i s e t i e rr c s haracteur cc re ver a e n li d d p a e n ti i i m io a n is s , " with insult and in sing phraseology dignity, and concerning them dis,racefol t o 13illingsgate. iv . B e cause the warmest advocates of the question admit that it will not alleviate the dis tresses of Ireland. V. Because we arethreatened withininriettion • and sedition, if we do not comply ; and are told we must violate Or ConStitution or-lose a threat which ought to be retracted before the. question is touched at all. YE. Because the Papists will not allow tu to legislate for THEIR Chureh, while, by this measure, they would be allowed the conducting • of ouns! VII. Because the Papists themselves do not, in all cases, know the tenets of their Church, since, when the question was put in the Committee of the House of Commons, " What opinions are falsely ascribed to you by Protestants ?" the an swer was,.first, " Exclusive salvation in the Ca tholic Church ;" whereas the creed of Pope Pius IV., the charitable document which every goad Catholic is required to subscribe, and which Mr. Butler considers as their great symbol of reli gion, asserts the doctrine of exclusi%'e salvation in terms the most direct and perspicuous. VIII. Because Bossuet, their highest authority, admits that theirs is 'an intolerant Church, and the whole of History, especially the recent pro ceedings concerning sacrilege in France, abun dantly confirms this opinion ; and it is perfectly impossible for this religion. to subsist in any coun try on equality with any other. IX. BzeAusz POPERY IS NOT CHANGED--be cause it glories in the attribute of and appeals to the persecutions instituted not only by its own intolerant spirit, but even to the most ridiculous ceremonies and atrocious laws of heathen superstition, to justify new absurdities p.nd new atrocities, as witness the late law against sacrilege in France. X. Because Dr. Doyle, in his evidence before the House, admitted • that the Roman Catholic Bi,hops in Ireland were appointed by the Pre. tender up to the time of his death, a fact which shews how far the opinions of the Rornish Church are likely to consolidate the principles of the Re volution, and the concealment of which she ws how ably the Priests of Ireland can conceal the most mischievous intrigues. We received this morning the Buenos Ayres Papers, from which we extract the following articles : (From the , Argus of Buenos (Ayres, from 23d Feruary to sth Marc h'inchsiFe.) FEi3; 23 —We have. letters. , from,Chili stating .that in the, town of Chillan, in the province"or L Concession, a squadron of cavalry had mutinied, and also a company of the battalion, No. 1, and 30 dragoons. After committing some excesses they seem to'have joined a chief nained'rincheira. All this is probably the work of a defeated party, which seeks to take ad vantage of the dislike of the fanatics to the new order of things which the Government is introducing in Chili. The Supreme Director is resolved not to make any Compromise with the passions of any party, and it is thought that these troubles will soon be at an end. A squadron of cavalry is gone in pursuit of the mutineers, and infantry will soon follow. We also learn that Senhor Zanartu does not proceed on his mission to the United states :no reason is assigned. The Liberal party con tinues to gain ground. UPPER PER IT. The Chili Mail brings accounts of what has happened since the glorious battle Ayachuco. - A letter from a respectable per- Fon at Santiago .fie Chile, says, Rodit will not deliver up Callao, which conduct had obliged Bolivar to outlaw him and his garrison. It is singular what motive he may have for this conduct, as the Asia and other vessels with which he might have made some resistance had entirely left the Pacific, some to take the Viceroy and other Generals to France, as it is said the others go to Manilla. On the fithJan.Callao was blockaded by the Colombian corvette, Pinchincha, and probably by the squa dron of Admiral Guise. Three of Bodies gun-boats had join ed the blockading force. Bolivar had about . 2,000 men at Lima, and expected 0,000 from Guayquil, with which he would besiege Callao. Rodit will probably be delivered up by his own troops to the besieg ing army ; ha does not appear to have above 2,000 Wien. It is affirmed that the standard of liberty is flying at Arequipa and Arica. lIITE.Nos-ArnEs. The General Government,of. the United. Provinces has ap pointed Senor I)on Bernardind Rivadavia, Minister Plenipo tentiary to the Courts of England and Prance. The English packet Camden, which sailed ,yesteiday,-has on board Senor Don Ignacio Nunez, as Secretary to the Legation at the French and English Courts. Mr. Griffiths; the Vic.-Consul, goes in the same packet. On Saturday the 19th, the ratification of the Treaty con cluded between the Government of Great Britain and that of the United Provinces, took place in the Cabinet of the Go vernment. His Excellency the Governor, in presenting this Act to the Minister Plenipotentiary, spoke as follows : " Sir—The Government of the Province of Buenos Ayres charged with the general authority of the Nation of the Unit ed Provinces of Rio de la Plata, has the satisfaction of deliver ing to the Plenipotentiary of His Maje s t y the Ring of G rea t Britain, the treaty concluded on the 2d of this month, and now ratified, and it is doubly satisfactory, as by this act a proof is given of the similarity of the principles which prevail in both nations, and as they are doubtless the surest pledge of the per petual friendship which ought to prevail between them." PARISH replied—" In receiving by your Excellency the ratification of our treaty, I cannot but congratulate your Excel lency and all the inhabitants of this country upon this event, which places you in the rank of the nations recognised in the world, and which is entirely owing to your own exertions, and the liberal policy you have ado p ted. sir_Before Great Britain cou ld enter into relations was elationnescoesfstahriys to nature knower h with wh e a t n h yo f t theat State w newS States in a s i t u ati on t es of A r ner ' i which promised not only its tram i aillity for the moment, but pledges and solid bases fbr the future. " Sir—The flattering accounts which have reached his Brit tanic Majeity"on those points;added to - the wish expressed not only by the Government but by'the inhabitants:of this country in general, to cultivate at all times the most friendly relations with the subjects of his Britannic Majesty ; and the conviction of their Irrevocable resolution to separate for ever from Spain, have been the considerations which have induced his Majesty to take this step, and make this compact- with the United Pro vinces, sealing for ever our friendship by this most solemn act. " May Heaven grant that this friendship be• perpetual, and this act the passage which shall lead to the worthy recogni tion of the nation by the rest of the world !"

We shall have occasion, at another time, to mak eta few remarks upon it, and therefore abstain at this moment, merely hinting that the Bill, as it now stands, is not so good as the repealed Act of George 2d. THE CORONATION OP THZ KING Or FRANCE.—A t this august ceremony the Archbishop of Rheims will be the officiat ing Prelate. The BiShop of Soissons, as suffragan, will perform the functions of Deacon,. and those of Sub-Deacon will devolve upon the Bishop'of Amiens. The two French Cardinals will oc cupy the sides of the altar. The Archbishops of Besancon and Bourges, and the Bishops of Annan and livreux, are ap pointed to say the prayers. The ornaments which these Reverend Prelates will wear, are of the greatest magnificence, and in the best taste. A chausible, twelve dalmatics, and twelve copes, of rich - Lytins silks, have just been finished. The ground of the chausible for the Archbishop of "Rheims is ! sprinkled with gold, and enriched with raised designs in tution of embroidery ; in the fore part is a costly diamond, as large as a filbert. In the centre of the cross on the back is the monogram I. H. S. in brilliant diamonds, surrounded by a halo of glory, of m a t c hl ess sp l en d our . Th e m i tre i s en riched with Jewels: Those' of the other Prelates are also ex tremely brilliarit. The stole, the maniple, the pal, and the chalice cloth, are richly gilt, and each cross is adorned with a large diamond. Upon a drapery of superb purple velvet, and in the midst of a golden halo of glory, is embroidered a Holy Spirit, in silver spangles and pearls. The eye is of rubies. The hangings of the church are remarkable for their neatness, elegance, and exquisite workmanship. Among them is a white satin curtain, wrought in transparent designs. A cross and six superb candela bras have been executed at Paris, for the High Altar. The cross is nine feet in elevation, and the candelabras five. They .are copies of the antique, and their elevation, the choice of the orna ment, the perfection of the workmanship, and the beauty of the gilding, excite universal admiration. Upon the foot of the cross and the candelabras are alternately a royal crown, his Alajesty's cypher, and the figure . of St. Remy. The Christ of the cross is chased in the most exquisite manner. All these objects, it issaid,. will belong to the Cathedral of Rheims. Lieutenant-General Count Lion, commander of the second military division,will pro ci.ed to Rheims. at .the time of the Coronation,, with the three 21lajor-Generals commanding the sub-divisionsof hisdivishin, to take the general command of the troops of the line assembled . there at that period. Major-General the Baron Delcambre will command the Infantry; Major-General Baron Wathier the cavalry ; and Major-General Baron Picquet du Boisgny, the garrison of Rheims. Lieutenant-General Lion, accompanied by his stall; will proceed to the frontier of the division, namely to Fismes, with General Delcambre, Commander of the De partment of Marine, there to receive his Majesty. - -( narsi's 3feosenger.) TIANOVER-SQUARE.—The eighth performance of the Concert of Ancient Music, for the present season, took place last night. The selection was by Lord DARNI.EY, and altogether afforded full proofs of his Lordship's musical know ledge and taste. The instrumental and vocal pieces were from Purcell, Handel, Marcella. Dr. Cooke, Sacchini, Corelli and Dr. Hayes. The vocal Performers were illiss Stephens, Vaughan, W. Knyvett, J. B. Sale, Sapio, Phillips, Bellamy, Miss Travis and Miss Wilkinson. All except the last of these Performers are well known to the Public, but as Miss Wilkinson has recently come forward, she is entitled to peculiar notice and encouragement. She possesses a sweet and powerful voice, and by her performance on the pianoforte, which we noticed a few evenings ago, it is also evident that she is an accomplished musician. Her engagement at this Institution is a proof that though the Noble Directors select the works of departed masters, they are not indifferent to living talents, and Miss Wilkinson, having the stamp of their approbation on her merit, will, of course, pass current through the musical world. The Concert commenced with the Overture of Handel, and was followed by the Frost Scene from Purcell, well given by Miss Stephens and Bellamy. A pleasing Duet of Marcella' was beautifully supported by Miss Wilkinson and 'Miss Ste phens. The eleventh Concerto of Handel agreeably diversified the entertainment, and also the eleventh Concerto of Gemini niani Corelli. Miss Wilkinson sung with beautiful expression sacchini's fiesta Ingrata, and Miss Stephens " Let rue wan . der" with her usual interesting simplicity. But we cannot notice particulars. The whole concluded with Choruses from Israel in Egypt. The room was crowded with company, among whom we observed the late Empress of the Dramatic Regions, Mrs. Siddons, to which she so long imparted dignity and splendour. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Count MUN STER, the Hanoverian Ambassador, had audiences of the KING yesterday. . . _ His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, it is understood, will honour Blagdon-House, Northumberland, (the seat of Sir ISIATTutw WHITE RIDLEY, Bart.

Guir,Dthim. —Yesterday William ,iblett, a journeyman shoemaker, was brought up on a-warrant before Mr. Alderman Cox. charged with assaulting Wm. Riley, one of the same fraternity, on his way to his employer's house.—From the evidence adduced, it appeared that • there was a " general strike," as it is termed, last week amongst the journeymen shoemakers, to obtain .an advance in the price of their labour, and Ril e y was met with a bag full of work at his back on Saturday evening, in Fore -street, by a num ber of the turn-outs. Riley was known not to belong to the so ciety, and was therefore an object' of some dislike, preViously to his being thus found at his ordinary employment, while all .the rest of trade were earning lioihing.• Opprobrious language was used in his hearing, but, he. heeded it not. At length the prisoner asked him where he was going ? He replied to his employer's, Mr. King, Aldersgate-street. " I'll be hanged if you shall," cried the prisoner—" What have you got in your bag ?" Riley told him it contained some boot legs; on hearing which, the prisoner endeavoured to Pull the bag away from him, and lie was compelled from the pressure of the crowd and the boldness of the turn-outs to seek refuge in the shop of Mr. Case, a cheesemonger.in Fore -street, where he remained three quarters of an hour, the mob increasing all the time, and from thence he was event ua lly escorted by Barnes, a constable, to his master's door. As he was entering the door, some fellow madea blow at Riley, and threaten ed to " do for him ," and the officer immediately seized the assailant and conveyed him to the Compter ; but the officer giving no ex press charge with him, and promising to return immediately, which he failed in doing, the turnkeys, after detaining the man an hour, discharged him, pursuant to the directions of th e Oo vernor f the gaol, never to render him liable to an action for falSe imprisonment by locking up a party against whom a direct charge is not made. Mr. Case, and a porter at an oil-warehouse, gave evidence of the very alarming conduct of the prisoner's associates, up to the moment of the man being lodged in the Compter.—The prisoner admitted having stopped and questioned Riley in the manner stated, and thought his former intimacy with him, and the very great injury he was doing his brother labourers by continuing to work at the old prices, justified his going thus far, To . all the menaces and violence used after Riley went into Mr. Case's, he was a stranger, as he went away at that period.--Mr. Alderman Cox said, though the punishment the Court might inflict for the assault would probably be more severe, he thought it would be better, under the circumstances, to make an example of the defendant under the Combination Act, for endeavouring to in timidate a workman in Mr. King's employ, and with the aid of the Lord Mayor (the statute requiring the case to be heard be foie two Magistrates) the prisoner was sentenced to the Tread .Mill for one month.
