Printed for J. Hateliard and Son, 187, Piccadilly, DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES. MAETLEBONE NEW CHURCll.—Yesterday were mar ried by Dr. Sprey, Rector of Marylebone Mr. G. Hum phries, of Oxford -street, and Miss Sarah Leggett Temple, of Bayswater. • 1 1‘he parties being Members of the Church of God commonly called Free-thinking Christians, were attended by the Elder, Deacons, and others of the body, and presented a Protest against the Established ceremony. The Minister having received the writ-ten protest, pro ceeded with the ceremony. Upon the bridegroom being required to repeat the words, " in the name of the Father, and of the -Son, and-of the Holy Ghost," . he paused, and then solemnly protested against the recognition of the-Tri nity; upon which the Minister closed the book, and pro ceeded to the vestry, refusing to complete the marriage.— After considerable discussion there 'relative to the views and motives of the parties in protesting verbally, as well as in writing, the Minister returned to the- altar and com pleted the ceremony. This ease was thns considered re markable by the performance of the ceremony. in7two dis tinct parts. The pariipaexpressed their deep sense of the forbearance and kind consideration of the officiating Minis ter. The Protest delivered on the . occasion varies from former ones, inasmuch as it is designed to be a vindication of the conduct of this body in protesting, and also a de duration of their religious opinions :-- COPY OF THE PROTEST. " PROTEST AGAINST Tut MARRIAGE CEREMONY, AND EXPOSI- TION OF THE REASONS FOP PRESENTING, THE SAME. " The undersigned, being Protestant Dissenters and Members of the Church of God, commonly known as Free 7 thinking Chris tians, hereby avow"imil iefftirth, that they are at this time de sirous of entering together into the state of marriage. " That they regard the rigkt'to enter into such state both as a natural and civil right, and the duty so to enter therein as one of religious obligation. " That, in the present circumstances of society, they should hold it sinful in themselves, and pregnant with mischief to the community, to enter into such state without a legal sanction thereto, which sanction it bath ever been regarded as a first duty of Legislation to afford, am! that with facility to all con cerned. " That, in order to obtain - such sanction, it has, since the passing of the Marriage Act in the 26th of George 11. become obligatory upon Dissenters to appear in a Church of the Esta blished Religion, and then and there to submit to a certain reli gious rite or ceremony administered by a Priest of the Esta blishment. " That, as Disciples of Jesus, they have conscientious scruples against all outward rites and ceremonies in religion, and more especially. against that which is by law established for the solem nization of Marriage. " That; to guard against any implied approVal on their part of such rite and ceremony—to purge their ,consciences from all sup posed assent to whatever therein contained, is "cMitiary to God's holy word—to avoid the sinfulness of dissimulation in religion— to stand acquitted in that day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus the Christ—we hereby offer our solemn protest, and appeal against the same. `f, That, regarding the Clergyman as in this Instance, the Minister, of an oppressive and wicked law, to which, - by his Ordination oath, he bath rendered himself a party, such Protest and Appeal is delivered into his hands, and through him to all whom it may concern/ " That, considering the tune and place in which the law would compel hypocrisy and falsehood to be the only time and plae in which the delivery of a Protest could ease the consciences of the party protesting; such Protest is; for such reason, delivered in the Church, and at the time when the ceremony is to be performed. " Against the present established mode of legalizing Marriage, by compelling submission to a religions ceremony by law ap pointed, they hereby offer the following especial grounds of protest : " Because it introduces a religious rite into a merely civil compact. " Because it is an interference of human authority in matters of faith. " Because it operates as a test of religious opinions. " Because it becomes an act of compulsive conformity with the Church of England. " Because it establishes a rite or ceremony in religion, all such being contrary to the commands of Jesus, and to the spirit of that religion of which he was the divinely appointed teacher. " Because, although marriage be sanctione,, and its duties, like all the several duties enforced intthe Scriptures, it is no where ap pointed to be entered upon by a religious rite, In no single in stance in any age, either in, the antediluvian, in the patriarchal, or the Jewish, does it appear that such rite was performed. Nei ther by Moses, nor by the Prophets, nor by Jesus, nor by his Apostles, was such rite instituted. " Because the marriage ceremony, as contained in the ' Book of Common Prayer,' is a Popish rite rendered compulsory in the Church by a corrupt Pontiff (in the thirteenth century), and by him raised to a Sacrament, together with transubstantiation and auricular confession, as a means of increasing the revenue of the Clergy. " Because, by reason of its origin from the Popish Mass Book, together with the obsoleteness of certain of its terms, its forms are superstitious, its meaning in many places has frequently become obscure,- its assertions false, and its allusions indelicate, offensive, and revolting. " Because it is performed in a place of worship,' and is part and parcel of the ritual of a Church, whose claims are unscriptural, whose foundation is not of God, whose authority is human, whose existence is dependant on the State, whose days are unnumbered according to the ' sure word' of prophecy, and from whose com munion we have separated ourselves in obedience to that heavenly mandate, Come out of her, ye my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not her plagues." " Because being performed by a person in Priests' orders,' it implies a recognition of the claims of the Priesthood—an order which, upon the extinction of the Jewish Priesthood, hath never been re-established by Divine authority, which possesses no one claim that is sanctioned by Scripture, and can exist only by an usurpation of the rights and liberties of the Church of God, the equality of whose members is by Jesus and his Apostles so ex pressly asserted. " Because, as being an act of public and social prayer, it is without authority from the Scriptures, contrary to the example, and opposed to the positive commands of Jesus, who, when teaching his Disciples to pray, directed them to pray in secret, and forbade them all Synagogue worship, and who, upon anti cipating the approaching termination of all Temple worship, de declared that man should worship neither in this nor in that Temple, but that the . true worshippers should worship the Father in spirit and in truth.' " Because the worship cohnected with this ceremony is Hea then, being addressed to a plura lit y of Gods, each of whom is separately invoked, as 06d the Father ,.- God th e S on , an d G o d t t h h e e FHaoltyheGnhosoft—whwom are all bilsttous, there is b u t one true God, even things. " Because it is idolatrous, the language of prayer being there in add resse d in add resse d t o Christ,' or, as the word implies, the anointed, the Illessias, who, in his office as the Messias' ' is in Scripture eir s,ha'ltthwe worship the L o rd thy God, and of Man,' and who bath called proclaimed—` s T J h e: t u i him only shalt thou servo.' "Because the doctrine of a Trinity of Gods is a 'palpable cor ruption of divine truth; an image of Pagan idolatry, which not all the riches or honours it may dispense, or the terrors it may assume, can induce them to do homage to. And, should this their testimony against the same expose them to the fiery fur nace' of persecution, they will exclaim, with some of old, Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us ; hut if not, be it known unto thee, oh, King ! that we will not serve thy Gods, nor wor ship the golden image which thou bast set up.' "In concluding this protest, and in order to remove all doubts touching the nature and certainty of their faith, as well as to shew the obligation which is . impcsed • upon them by their prin ciples, to make such protest in the face of the Established Church, as their brethren have hitherto done, the undersigned both on their - • • ;be., p•.i> -4 • rrj I 1 • 0 • 411 IP/ 0„ tom • A 4.1 • " I ' l° 0 IIL This day was published, in I vol.

HIJMPHRIES. " S. L. TEMPLE." EUROPE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AMERICAN WAR. (From the Life of Napoleon Buonaparic. By the Author of Waverley. ) The printing of the sixth volume of this work is finish ed, and it has been found that the whole cannot be com prised in the - seven volumes repeatedly announced as nearly ready for publication. It will extend to eight at least; and it may cost the author some pains . (if, indeed, .it be practicable), to wind up his story even in that number. Napoleon cannot be disposed of--like Waverley or Ivanhoe ---by. two or three deaths, or marriages. The same causes make. the period of publication uncertain: in the:absence of certain information, ;we only venture to state that the work cannot be completed for some months to come; and curiosity, therefore, must be suspended, unless, in the in terim, We are . favoured with the " Chronicles of the Ca nongate."—Scots The following paragraphs occur almost at the commence ment of the work F' The peace concluded at Versailles in 1763, was reasonably supposed to augur a long repose to Europe. The high and emul ous tone assumed in former times' by the rival nations, had been lowered and tamed by recent circumstances. England, under the guidance of a weak, at least a most unlucky administration, had purchased peace' at the expellee of her North American em pire, and the resignation of supremacy over her colonies ; a loss great in itself, but exaggerated in the eye of the nation, by the rending asunder of the ties of common descent, and exclusive commercial intercourse, and by a sense of protection and ad vancement of the fair empire which England found herself ob liged to surrender. The lustre of the British arms, so bril liant at the peace of Fountainbleau, had been tarnished, if not extinguished. In spite of the gallant defence of Gibraltar, the general result Of the war on land had been . unfavour able to her military reputation ; and notwithstanding the opportune and splendid victories of Rodney, the coasts of Britain had been insulted, and. her , fleets compelled to retire into port, while thOse of the combined enemies rode masters of the Channel. The spirit of the country also had been lowered, by the unequal contest which had been sustained, and by the sense that her naval superiority was an object of invidious hatred to united Europe. This had been lately made manifest by the armed alliance of the northern nations, which though termed a neutrality was in fact a league, made to abate the pretensions of England to maritime supremacy. There are to be added to disheartening and depressing circumstances, the decay of commerce during the long course of hostilities, with the want of credit and depression of the price of land, which are the usual consequences : of a transition from war to peace, ere capital has regained its natural channel. All these things being considered, it appeared the manifest interest of England to husband her exhausted resources, and- recruit her diminished wealth, by cultivating peace and tranquillity for a long course of time.' William Pitt, never more distinguished than in his financial operations, was engaged in new modelling the revenue of the country, and adding to the return of the taxes, while he diminished their pressure. It could scarcely be supposed that any object of national ambition would have been permitted to disturb him in a task so necessary. " Neither had France, the natural rival of England, come off from the contest in such circumstances of triumph and advantage as were likely to encourage her to a speedy renewal of the struggle. It is true, she had seen and contributed to the hnmiliation of her ancient enemy, but she had paid dearly for the gratification of her revenge, as nations and individuals are wont to do. Iler finances tampered with by successive sets of Ministers, who looked no far ther than to temporary expedients for carrying on the necessary expenees of Government, now presented an alarming prospect ; and it seemed as if the wildest and most enterprising Ministers would hardly have dared, in their most sanguine moments, to have reeommendvd either war itself, or any measure of which war might be the consequence. ‘" Spain was in like state of exhaustion. She had been hur ried into the alliance against England, partly by the consequences of the family alliance betwixt her Bourbons and those of France, but still more by the eager and engrossing desire to pos sess herself once more of Gibraltar. The Castilian pride, long galled by beholding this important fortress in the hands of heretics and foreigners, highly applauded the war, which gave a chance of its recovery, and seconded, with all the power of the kingdom, the gigantic efforts made for that purpose. All these immense pre parations, with the most formid a ble means of attack ever used on such an occasion, had totally failed, and the kingdom of Spain remained at once stunned and mortified by the failure, and broken down by the expense . of so huge an undertaking. An tended to exhaust the remains of l at e t r ac in k il t i i r i a m r n y Algiers, oru: in repose, dispirited by- the miscarriage ()flier favourite s c h eme , an d Spain, l7B 4- t s h t erefore, relapsed into inactivity an d possessing neither the means ruor the audacity necessary to medi tate its speedy renewal. " Neither were the sovereigns of the late belligerent powers of that ambitious and active character which was likely to drag the kingdoms which they swayed into the renewal of hoailities.— The classic eye of the historian Gibbon, saw Arcadius and Hono rim, the weakest and most indolent of Roman Emperors, slum bering upon the thrones of the House of Bourbon ; and the just and royal character of George 111. precluded any effort on his part to undermine the peace which he signed unwillingly, or to attempt the resumption of those rights which he had formerly, though reluctantly, surrendered. His expression to the Ambas sador of the United States was a trait of character never to be omitted or forgotten I have been the last man in my dominions to accede to this peace, which separates America from my king doms—l will be the first man, now it is made, to resist any attempt to infringe it.'
