EDITORIAL COURTESY IN AMERICA.—One of the fa vourite arguments of the advocates of the duello is, that where the obligation of personal " satisfaction " is as knowledged it begets a decorum of manners and a courtesy of expression highly conducive to social refine ment and a chivalric tone of society. A remarkable exemplification of the effect of the duello is occasionally exhibited by our editorial brethren down Soutb. Those chivalric papers of Richmond, Virginia, the Whig and the Enquirer ' whose former edito rs f oug ht one o f th e most savage duels a few years since that the history of duelling makes any mention of, are just now engaged in a war of blackguardism which must be closed by per sonal combat with some sharper instruments than the steel pen. Both of these papers have bestowed the highest encomiums upon Brooks for the assault upon Sfllator Sumner. The Enquirer recently alluded to the Whig in these highflown terms :—" The sheepish spirit of a stricken conscienc e is betrayed in every word and syllable of the paragraph. Its disgusting egotism and vulgar taste are altogether worthy of the writer's repu tation. A man who scribbles under the habitual in spiration of refuse whisky, whose daily contributions to the public press consist of the lees of lest night's revel ; whose grammar would condemn him to the ' foot' of the class in an old field schoolhouse ; whose literature is limited to a familar acquaintance with the labels on the brandy bottles—he to talk of editing a decent newspaper! This, indeed, is 'sublime impudence.' Beaten in argu ment, convicted of every sort of inconsistecny and self stultification, driven into a corner and pinioned there beyond the power of escape, the editor of the TVlbig has our permission to indulge his low-horn instincts in low flung bravado." Of course the IVh,ig replies in a simili lax strain, to which its antagonist rejoins with increased vigour and bitterness. Anything worse than this could not possibly be exhibited, even where personal sat'sfac tion is never demanded nor given. —New York, Time. 1 1 • la'4l o tr„ . °xi •3, >/ . .tA 4 4 ' r - C,l„ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1856, THE UNITED ►STATES AND TITE CONGRESS OF PARIS. Department of State, Washington, July 28, 1856. The Count de Sartiges, &c., &c., &c. The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, has laid before the President " The Declaration e rncerning Maritime Law,"* adopted by the Plenipo tentiaries of Great Britain, Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, and Turkey, at Paris, on the 16th of April, 1856, which the Count de Sartiges, Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of France, has presented in behalf of the Emperor of the French to the Government of the United States, for the purpose of ob taining its adhesion to the principles therein contained. Nearly two years since the President submitted, not only to the Powers represented in the late Congress at Paris, but to all other maritime nations, the second and third propositions contained in that " Declaration," and asked their assent to them as permanent principles of international law. The propositions thus submitted by the President were— "l. That free ships make free goods—that is to say, that the effects or goods belonging to subjects or citizens cf a Power or State at war are free from capture and confiscation when found on board of neutral vessels, with the exception of articles contraband of war ; "2. That the property of neutrals on board an ene my's vessel is not subject to confiscation, unless the same be contraband of war." It will be perceived that these propositions are sub stantially the same as the second and third in the "De claration" of the Congress at Paris. Four of the Governments with which negotia tions were opened on the subject by the United States have signified their acceptance of the foregoing propo sitions. Others were inclined to defer acting on them until the return of peace should furnish a more aus picious time for considering such international questions. The proceeding of the Congress of the Plenipotentiaries at Paris will, as a necessary consequence, defeat the pending negotiations with the United States, if the two following propositions contained in Protocol No. 24 are acceded to : first, that the four principles shall be in divisible ; and, second, that the Powers which have signed or may accede to the " Declaration" shall not enter into any arrangement in regard to the application of the right of neutrals in time of war, which does not, at the same time, rest on the four principles which are the object of said "Declaration." As the indivisibility of the four principles and the limitation upon the sove reign attribute of negotiating with other Powers are not a part of the " Declaration," any nation is at liberty to reject either or botb, and to act upon the " Declaration" without restriction, acceding to it in whole or in part. In deliberating on this important subject, it behoves all Powers to consider, and, if they think proper, to act upon this distinction. All the Powers which may ac cede to that " Declaration" and the subsequent restric tions contained in the 24th Protocol, will assume an ob ligation which takes from them the liberty of assenting to the propositions submitted to them by the United States, unless they at the same time surrender a prin ciple of maritime law which has never been contested-- the right to employ privateers during time of war. The second and third principles set forth in the "De claration," being those submitted to other maritime Powers for adoption, by this Government, it is most anxious to see incorporated by general consent, into the code of maritime law, and thus placed beyond future controversy or question. Such a result, securing so many advantages to the commerce of neutral nations, might have been reasonably expected but for the pro ceedings of the Congress at Paris, which require them to be purchased by a too costly sacrifice—the surrender of a right which may well be considered as essential to the freedom of the seas. The fourth principle contained in the "Declaration," namely—" Blockades, in order to be binding, must be effective ; that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent access to the, coast of the enemy"— can hardly be regarded as one falling within that class with which it was the object of the Congress to inter fere ;, for this rule has not, for a long time, been regarded as uncertain, or the can e of any " deplorable disputes." If there have been any disputes in regard to blockades, the uncertainty was about the facts, but not the law. Those nations which have resorted to what ate appropri ately denominated " paper blockades," have rarely, if ever, undertaken afterwards to justify their conduct upon principle; but have generally admitted the illega lity of the practice, and indemnified the injured parties. What is to be adjudged " a force sufficient really t pre vent access to a coast of the enemy" has often been a severely-contested question ; and certainly the declara tion which merely reiterates a general undisputed maxim of maritime law does nothing towards relieving the subject of blockade from that embarrassment. What force is requisite to constitute an effective blockade re mains as unsettled and as questionable as it was before the Congress at Paris adopted the "Declaration." In regard to the right to employ privateers, which is declared to be abolished by the first principle put forth in the " Declaration," there was, if possible, less uncer tainty. The right to resort to privateers is as clear as the right to use public armed ships, and as incontestible as any other right appertaining to belligerents. The policy of that law has been occasionally questioned, not, however, by the best authorities ; but the law itself has been universally admitted, and most nations have not hesitated to avail themselves of it ; it isas well sustained by practice and public opinion as any other to be feuud in the maritime code. There is scarcely any rule of international law which particular nations in their treaties have not occa sionally suspended or modified in regard to its applica tion to themselves. Two treaties only can be found in which the contracting parties have agreed to abstain from the employment of privateers in case of war be tween them. The first was a treaty between the King of Sweden and the States-General of the United Pro vinces, in 1675. Shortly after it was concluded the parties were involved in war, and the stipulation con cerning privateers was entirely disregarded by both. The second was the treaty of 1755, between the United States and the King of Prussia. When this treaty was renewed in 1799, the clause stipulating not to resort to privateering was omitted. For the last half century there has been no arrangement, by treaty or otherwise, to abolish the right, until the recent proceed ings of the Plenipotentiaries at Paris. By taking the subject of privateering into considera tion that Congress has gone beyond its professed object, which was, as it is declared, to remove the uncertainty on points of maritime law, and thereby prevent " differ ences of opinion between neutrals and belligerents, and, consequently, serious difficulties and even conflicts." So far as the principle in regard to privateering is con cerned the proceedings of the Congress are in the nature of an act of legislation, and seek to change a well-settled principle of international law. The interest of commerce is deeply concerned in the establishment of the two principles which the United States had submitted to all maritime Powers, and it is much to be regretted that the Powers represented in the Congress at Paris fully approving them should have endangered their adoption by uniting them to another inadmissible principle, and making the failure of all the necessary consequence of the rejection of any one. To three of the four principles contained in the "Declara tion" there would not probably be a serious objection * [Translation.] ANNEX TO PROTOCOL No. 23.—DECLARATION. (Extract.)

SITTING OF PRIL 16, 1c56. (Extract.) On the proposition of Count Walewski, and recognising that it is for the general inter es t to ma i n t a i n the indivisi bility of the four principles in the Declaration signed Ws day, the Plenipotentiaries agree that the Powers which shall have required, or which shall have acceded to it, cannot hereafter enter into any arrangement in regard to the application of the iigiit of neutrals in time of war, which does not at the same time rest on the four principles which are the object of the said Declaration. Upon an observation made by the Plenipotentiaries of Russia, the Congress admits that as the present resolution cannot have any retroactive effect, it cannot invalidate au-1 tececlea CQUlelltio/10. from any quarter, but to the other a vigorous res . stance must have been anticipated. The policy of the law which alloys aresort to privateers has been questioned for reasons vhich do not command the assent of this Government. Without entering into a full discussion on this point the undersigned will con front the ordinary and chief objection to that policy, by an authority which will be retarded with profound respect, particularly in France. In a commentary on the French Ordonnance of 1631, Vali.n says : "However lawful and time-honoured this mode of warfare may be, it is, nevertheless, disapproved of by some pretended philosophers. According to their no tions, such is not the way in which the State and the Sovereign are to be served ; whilst the profits which in dividuals may derive from the pirsuit are illicit, or at least disgraceful. But this is the language of bad citizens, who, under the stately mask of a spurious wisdom, and of a craftily sensitive conscience, seek to mislead the judgment by a concealmeet of the secret motive which gives birth to their indifference for the welfare and ad vantage of the State. Such are as worthy of blame, as are those entitled to praise, wio generously expose their property and their lives to the dangers of priva teering." I In a work of much repute, published in France almost 1 simultaneously with the proceedings of the Congress at Paris, it is declared that—" The issuing of letters of - marque, therefore, is a constantly customary belligerent act. Privateers are bona fide waevessels, manned by volunteers, to whom, by way of reward, the Sovereign resigns such prizes as they naa.:ie, in the same manner es he sometimes assigns to the land forces a portion of the war contributions leviel on the conquered enemy." (Pistoye et Duverdy, des Prises Maritimes.) It is not denied thst annoyance to neutral commerce, and even abuses, have occasionally resulted from the practice of privateering ; such was the case formerly more than in recent times ; but when it is a question of changing a law, the incidental evils are to be considered in connection with its benefits and advantages. If these benefits and advantages (tan be obtained in any other way, without injury to other rights, these occasional abuses may then justify the change, however ancient or firmly established may be the law. The reasons which induced the Congress at Paris I. declare privateering abolished are not stated, but they are presumed to be only such as ara usually urged against the exercise of that belligerent right. The prevalence of Christianity and the prO;;;;Zif civilisation have greatly mitigated the severity of the ancient mode of prosecuting hostilities. War is now an affair of governments. "It is the public authority which makes and carries on war; individuals are not permitted to take part in it, unless authorised to do so by their government." It is a generally received rule of modern warfare, so far at least as operations upon land are con- cerned, that the persons and ef f ects of non-combatants are to be respected. The wanton pillage or uncompen sated appropriation of individual property by an army, even in possession of an enemy's country, is against the usage of modern times. Such a mode of proceeding at this day would be condemned by the enlightened judg ment of the world, unless warranted by special circum stances. Every consideration which upholds this sen timent in regard to the conduct of a war on land favours the applicatien of the same rule to the persons and pro perty of citizens of the belligerents found upon the ocean. It is fair to presume that the strong desire to ame liorate the severe usages of war by exempting private property upon the ocean from hostile seizure, to the extent it is usually exempted on land, was the chief in ducement which led to " the declaration" by the Con gress at Paris, that " privateering is, and reinaine, abolished." The undersigned is directed by the President to say that to this principle of exempting private property upon the ocean, as well as upon the land, applied without re striction, he yields a most ready and willing assent. The undersigned cannot better express the President's eves upon tha subject than by quoting the language of his annual message to Congress, of Dec. 4, 1854: "The proposition to enter into engagements to forego a resort to privateers, in case this country should be forced into a war with a great naval Power, is not en titled to more favourable consideration than would be a proposition to agree not to accept the ser;ices of volunteers for operations on land. When the honour or rights of our country require it to assume a hostile attitude it confidently relies upon the patriotism of its citizens, nut ordinarily devoted to the military prof s sion, to augment the army and navy, so as to make them fully adequate to the emergency which calls them into action. The proposal to surrender the right to em ploy privateers is professedly founded upon the prin ciple that private property of unoffending non-comba tants, though enemies, should be exempt from the ravages of war; but the proposed surrender goes but little way in carrying out that principle, which equally requires that such private property should not be seized or molested by national ships of war. Should the lead ing Powers of Europe concur in proposing, as a rule of international law, to exempt private property, upon the ocean, from seizure by public armed cruisers as well as by privateers, the United States will readily meet them upon that broad ground." The reasons in favour of the doctrine that private property should be exempted from seizure in the opera tions of war are considered in this enlightened age so controlling as to have secured its partial adoption by all civilsed nations . ; but it would be difficult to find any substantial reasons for the distinction now recognised in its application to such property on land, and not to that which is found upon the ocean. If it be the object of the declaration adopted at Paris to abolish this distinction, and to give the same security from the ravages of war to the property of bMigerent subjects on the ocean as is now accorded to such pro perty upon the land, the Congress at Paris has fallen short of the proposed result, by not placing individual effects of belligerents beyond the reach of public armed ships as well as privateers. If such property is to remain ex po , ed to seizure, by ships belonging to the navy of the adverse party, it is extremely difficult to perceive why it should not, in like manner, be exposed to seizure by pri vateers, which are, in fact, but another branch of the public force of the nation commissioning them. If the principle of capturing private property on the ocean and condemning it as prize of war be given up, that property would, and of right ought to be, as secure from molestation by public armed vessels as by priva teers ; but if that principle be adhered to it would be worse tban useless to attempt to confine the exerciso of the right of capture to any particular description of the public force of the belligerents. There is no sound principle by which such a distinction can be sustained ; no capacity which could trace a definite line of separa tion proposed to be made, and no proper tribunal to which a disputed question on that subject could be re ferred for adjustment. The pretence that the distinction may be supported upon the ground that ships not be longing permanently to a regular navy are more likely to disregard the rights of neutrals than those which do be long to such a navy is not well sustained by modern experience. If it be urged that a participation in the prizes is calculated to stimulate cupidi ty, t h at, as a pe culiar objection, is removed by the fact that the same passion is addressed by the distribution of prize -money among the officers and crews of ships of a regular navy. Every nation which authorises privateers is as respon sible for their conduct as it is for that of its navy, and will, as a matter of prudence, take proper precaution and security against abuses. But if such a distinction were to be attempted it would be very difficult, if not impracticable, to define the particular class of the public maritime force which should be regarded as privateers. " Deplorable dis putes," more in number and more difficult of adju,t went, would arise from an attempt to discriminate be tween privateers and public armed ships If such a discrimination were attempted, every na tion would have an undoubted right to declare what ves sels should constitute its navy, and what should be re quisite to give them the character of public armed ships These are matters which could not be safely or pru dently left to the determination or supervision of any foreign Power, yet the decision of such controversies would naturally fall into the hands of predominant naval PowerA, which would have the ability to enforce their judgments. It cannot be off!insive to urge weaker Powers to avoid, as far as possible, such an arbitrament, and to maintain with firmness every existing barrier against encroachments from such a quarter. No nation which has a due sense of self respect will allow any other, belligerent or neutral, to determine the character of the force which it may deem proper to use in prosecuting hostilities; nor will it act wisely if it voluntarily surrenders the right to resort to any means, sanctioned by international law, which, under any ci cumstances, may be advantageously used for defence or aggression. The United States consider powerful navies and large standing armies, as permanent establishments, to be de trimental to national prosperity and dangerous to civil liberty. The expense of keeping them up is burdensome to the people ; they are, in the opinion of this Govern ment, in some degree a menace to peace among nations. A. large force ever ready to be devoted to the purposes of war is a temptation to rush into it. The policy of the United States has ever been, and never more than now, adverse to such establishments ; and they can never be brought to acquiesce in any change in interna tional law which may render it necessary for them to maintain a powerful navy or large regular army in time of peace. If forced to vindicate their rights by arms, they are content, in the present aspect of international relations, to rely in military operations on land, mainly upon volunteer troops, and for the protection of their commerce in no inconsiderable degree upon their mer cantile marine. If this country were deprived of these resources it would be obliged to change its policy and assume a military attitude before the world. In re sisting an attempt to change the existing maritime law that may produce such a result, it looks beyond its own interest, and embraces in its view the interest of all such nations as are not likely to be dominant naval Powers. Their situation in this respect is similar to that of the United States, and to them the protection of commerce and the maintenance of international relations of peace appeal as strongly as to this country, to with• stand the proposed change in the settled law of nations. To such nations the surrender of the right to resort to privateers would be attended with consequences most adverse to their commercial prosperity without any compensating advantages. Most certainly no better reasons can be given for such a surrender than for fore- going the right to receive the services of volunteers ; and the proposition to abandon the former is entitled, i❑ the judgment of the President, to no more favour than a similar proposition in relation to the latter. This opi nion of the importance of privateers to the community of nations, excepting only those of great naval strength, is not only vindicated by history, but sustained by high authority. The following passage in the treatise on maritime prizes, to which I have before referred, deserves particular attention : "Privateers are especially useful to those Powers whose navy is inferior to that of their enemies. Bel ligerents, with powerful and extensive naval arma ments, may cruise upon the seas with their national navies ;, but should those states, whose naval forces are of less power and extent, be left to their own re sources, they could not hold out in a maritime war ; whilst by the equipment of privateers they may suc ceed in inflicting upon the enemy an injury equivalent to that which they themselves sustain. Hence Govern ments have frequently been known, by every possible appliance, to favour privateering armament,. It has even occurred that Sovereigns, not merely satisfied with issuing letters of marque, have also taken, as it were, an interest in the armament. Thus did Louis the Four teenth frequently lend out his ships, and sometimes re serve for himself a share in the prizes." It certainly ought not to excite the least surprise, that strong naval Powers should be willing to forego the practice, comparatively useless to them, of employing privateers upo❑ condition that weaker Powers agree to part with their most effective means of defending their maritime rights. It is, in the opinion of this Govern ment, to be seriously apprehended that if the use of pri vateers be abandoned the dominion over the seas will be rendered to those Powers which adopt the policyand have the means of keeping up large navies. The one which has a decided naval superiority would be poten tially the mistress of the ocean, and by the abolition cf privateering, that domination would be more fie•mly se• cured. Such a Power engaged in a war with a nation inferior in naval strength would have nothing to do for the security and protection of its commerce but to look after the ships of the regular navy of its enemy. These might be held in check by one-half; or less, of its naval force, and the other might sweep the commerce of its enemy from the'ocean. Nor would the injurious effects of a vast naval superiority to wearer States be much di minished, if that superiority was shared among three or four great Powers. It is unquestionably the interest of such weaker States to discountenance and resist a mea sure which fosters the growth of regular naval esta• blishnients. In discussing the effect of the proposed treasure— the abolition of privateering—a reference to the existing condition of nations is almost unavoidable. An instance will at once present itself in regard to tRO nations where the commerce of each is about equal, and about equally wide-spread over the world. As commercial Powers there is great disparity between them. The regular navy of one vastly exceeds that of the other. In case of war between them, only an inconsiderable part of the navy of the one would be required to prevent that of the other from being used for defence or aggression, while the remainder would be devoted to the unembarrassed employment of destroying the commerce of the weaker in naval strength. The fatal consequences of this great inequality of naval force between two such belligerents would be in part remedied by the use of privateers ; in that case, while either might assail the commerce of the other in every sea, they would be obliged to distribute and employ their respective navies in the work of pro tection. This statement only illustrates what would be the case, with some modification, in every war where there may be considerable disparity in the naval strength of the belligerents. History throws much light upon this question. France, at an early period, was without a navy, and in her wars with Great Britain and Spain, but then naval Powers, she resorted with signal goad effect to priva teering, not enly for protection, but successful aggrer sion. She obtained many Privateers from Holland, and by this force gained decided advantages on the ocean over her enemy. Whilst in that condition France could hardly have been expected to originate or concur in a proposition to abolish privateering. The condition of many of the smaller States of the world is now, in relation to naval Towers, not mach unlike that of France in the middle of the sixteenth century. At a later period, during the reign of Louis the Fourteenth, several expeditions were fitted out by him, composed wholly of privateers, which were most effectively employed in prosecuting hostilities with naval Powers. Those who may have at any time a control on the ocean will be strongly tempted to regul►te its use in a manner to subserve their own interests and ambitious projects. The ocean is the common property of all na tions, and instead of yielding to a measure which will be likely to secure to a few—possibly to one—an ascend. ancy over it, each should pertinaciously retain all the means it possesses to defend the common heritage. A predominant Power upon the ocean is more menacing to the well-being of others than such a Power on land, and all are alike interested in resisting a measure calculated to facilitate the permanent establishment of such domi nation, whether to be wielded by one Power or shared among a few others. The injuries likely to result from surrendering the dominion of the seas to one or a few nations which have powerful navies, arise mainly from the practice of sub jecting private property on the ocean to seizure by belli gerents. Justice and humanity demand that this prac tice should be abandoned, and that the rule in relation to such property on land should be extended to it when found upon the high seas. . The President, therefore, proposes to add to the first proposition in the " Deelaration " of the Congress at Paris tho following words :--" And that the private property of the subjects or citizens of a belligerent on the high seas shall be exempted from seizure by public armed vessels of the other belligerent, except it be con traband." Thus amended, the Government of the United States will adopt it, together with the other three prin ciples contained in that "Declaration." I am directed to communicate the approval of the President to the second, third, and fourth propositions, independently of the first, should the amendment be un acceptable. The amendment it; commended by so many powerful considerations, and the principle which calls for it has so long had the emphatic sanction of all enlight ened nations in military operations on land, that the President is reluctant to believe it will meet with any serious opposition. Without the proposed nmodificatio❑ of the first principle he cannot convince himself that it would be wise or safe to change the existing law in re gard to the right of privateeriug. If the amendment should not be adopted it will be proper for the United States to have some understand• ing in regard to the treatment of their privateer; when they shall have occasion Ito visit the ports of those Powers which are or may become parties to the Decla ration of the Congress of Paris. The United States will, upon the ground of right and comity, claim for them the { 4 tl: /2ld c O> 4 '5 :\\\ • yA. /,,,x, O/ „.,,:,,..„.,. xi . e..2,7„-------___z___ ~4:. _, ~....,,.,,,, 4,,,. „,..„ .... ..„ , ‘„,. ~ ~..„ ~ ,„ , ,:.„ _ ~ .. ‘,.,.. .. . • . . ~. , ~ „, , ~ ~ ~.._..,,,,,,„ . . ~ [P'qob, 4D. STAMPED • same consideration to which they are entitled, and which was extended to them, under the law of nations, before the attempted modification of it by that Congress. As connected with the subject herein discussed, it is not inappropriate to remark, that a due regard to the fair claims of neutrals would seem to require some modification, if not an abandonment, of the doctrine in relation to contraband trade. Nations which preserve the relations of peace should not be injuriously affected in their commercial intercourse by those which choose to involve themselves in war, provided the citizens of such powerful nations do not compromise their character as neutrals by a direct interferencB with the military operations of the belligerents. The laws of siege and blockade, it is believed, afford all the re medies against neutrals that the parties to the war can justly claim. Those laws interdict all trade with the be sieged or blockaded places. A further interference with the ordinary pursuits of neutrals, in no-wino to blame for an existing state of hostilities, is contrary to the obvious dictates of justice. If this view of the sub ject could be adopted, and practically observed by all civilised nations, the right of search, which has been the source of so much annoyance and of so many injuries to neutral commerce, would bo restricted to such cases only as justified a suspicion of an attempt to trade with places actually in a state of siege or blcckade. Humanity and justice demand that the calamities in cident to war should be strictly limited to the bellige rents themselves, and to those who voluntarily take part with them ; but neutrals abstaining in good faith from such complicity ought to be left to pursue their trade with either belligerent, without restrictions in re!' epect to the articles entering into it. Though the United States do not propose to embar rass the other pending negotiations relative to the rights of neutrals, by pressing this change in the law of con traband, they will be ready to give it their sanction whenever there is a prospect of its favourable recepticu by other maritime powers. The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to the Count de Sartiges the assurance of his high consideration. W. L. MARCY. THE CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON. 3 We purposely avoided offering any remarks upon • the case of Archdeacon Denison as long as it could be considered sub judice. But now that the Arch bishop has formally pronounced certain of the arti cles exhibited against the Archdeacon to have been proven, and has intimated his intention of pro. . ceeding to pass sentence on the 21st of October, unless, in the meantime, the Archdeacon should revoke what is said to be his error, we are no longer bound to silence, but we are at liberty to offer an opinion upon the merits of the whole case. A brief history of the circumstances will be the best introduction. In the last year of the life of the late Bishop Bagot, Archdeacon Denison, at examining chaplain to the bishop, thought fit to reject a certain candidate for priest's orders, on the ground of his holding certain views upon the Sacra ment of the Lord's Supper which the Archdeacon could not, in his capacity as examining chaplain, approve. Bishop Spencer, of Madras, was at that time acting for the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and was appointed.to hold for him the next ordination. The young man rejected by the Archdeacon was admitted by the Bishop. An angry correspondence ensued ; and the Archdeacon, feeling that both his position as an examining chaplain and his doctrine as a divine were damaged by the officiatinc , bishop's proceeding, thought fit to resign his chaplaincy; and to preach in the cathedral at Wells a vindica tion of his doctrines. Owing to a recent publica tion by the then Archdeacon Wilberforce ou the same subject, there was much excitement in the Church on the doctrine of the Eucharist ; and this circumstance gave an importance to Archdeacon Denison's sermons beyond what they were entitled to on their own account. The main point on which the Archdeacon insisted relates to the consequences which follow the consecration of the elements by the priest. Every ono who has paid the least at tention to the subject, and is not blinded by party spirit, readily acknowledges that the statements made by Archdeacon Denison in no way support the Romish doctrine, and have no tendency in that direction. But they are, nevertheless, undoubt edly startling to those who have not studied the dogmatic theo!ogy of the Church. The excitement caused by these three sermons soon took shape, and, at the instance of the Rev. J. Ditcher, the vicar of the adjoining parish of South Brent, a formal complaint of their unsoundness was msde to the Bishop of the Diocese. Tho sermons were read by the Bishop, and an opinion expressed by him unfavourable to thorn in some particulars. The :archdeacon submitted to the opinion of the Bishop, and there the matter might and ought to have been suffered to drop. But the Ditcher party had other views. Not long after this Bishop II:got died, and Lord Auckland succeeded to the see. Attempts were made to obtain a fresh opening out of the case by the new Bishop. But, although not agreeing with some of the propositions of the Arch deacon his lordship was indisp ose d t o di s i nter t h e old strife, on the ground that already it was res judicata. Foiled thus, the prosecution appealed to the Primate, who, had he been well advised,' would have acted precisely as Lord Auckland did. But his Grace issued a commission, under statute, of five clergymen to ascertain if sufficient pre liminary grounds for further proceedings could be made out. This commission was most un- , fairly constituted, being composed exclusively of clergymen whose views were notoriously op posed to those of the Archdeacon, whose conduct they were to try. There was not one of them who was not known either more or less as a party man of the extreme Evangelical School. What justice a High Churchman was likely to get at such hands the reader may.. imagine. The Com missioners refu se d t o hear evidence on the question of doctrine, and, taking their stand on the simple facts proved, of preaching and publication, pre judged the sermons and the case altogether, and decreed that there was a prima facie case for fur ther proceedings. At this stage the Archbishop seems to have benefited by second thoughts, and to have wisely come to the determination to pro ceed no further in so intricate and unsatisfactory a matter. But application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Archbishop to' proceed. After ,the discussion of several technical questions, it was peremptorily ruled that the Archbishop must proceed with the prosecution, and hence followed the trial, which we have already reported throughout the different stages, and the conclusion pronounced by Dr. Lushington on Tuesday last. We cannot pretend to discuss in these columns' the theological question. It may be stated, in ge4 neral terms, that the Archdeacon maintains that; after the consecration of the elements by the priest, a real presence becomes so joined to them that they cannot be other than the Body and Blood of Christ, whether eaten by good men or bad. The Archbishop rules that this is contrary to the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth Articles, the legal interpretation of what is affirmed to be, that what the Archdeacon says is received by all is re ceived by the good only. This ruling brings the Archdeacon under the statute of 13 Elizabeth, 0: 12, which is to this effect—that "if any person ecclesiastical, or who shall have any ecclesiastical living, shall advisedly maintain or affirm any doctrine directly. contrary or repugnant to any of the said Articles, and being convicted before the bishop of the diocese, or the ordi nary, still persists therein, or not revoke his error, or after such revocation, eftsoons affirms such untrue doctrine, such maintaining or affirming and persisting, and such eftsoons affirming,- shall be just cause to deprive such person of his ecclesi astical promotions, and it shall be lawful for the bishop of the diocese to deprive such person so per sisting, or lawfully convicted of such eftsoons af firming, and upon such sentence of deprivatio.i being pronounced, be shall be indeed deprived." The result is that unless the Archdeacon shall un say what be has said in his sermons, he w ill, on the 21st day of October next, cease to be Arch deacon of Taunton and Vicar of East Brent. _ We do not p resume t o say one word on the course which the Archdeacon ought to take. It is a matter for his own conscience. Differing as we have often done from his views of public ques- tions, and disapproving of some of his proceedings in the agitation of Church questions, we have ever sought to do justice to his fearless persistency of purpose and genuine integrity of motive ; a n d we shall continue to do so whatever may be the issue of this trial. But a graver question than any thing personal to the Archdeacon arises out of this decision. It has generally been supposed that the latitude afforded by the Articles was purposely allowed in order to include within the Church as .TSPAPER - 2 © ) _ 0, evi i4 ;14 444 - -ii4tf 4 differences of interFetation of 10ke*F 4 1$4ii 4'14 I the very ba&s of the Gorham c}, e: ..".‘:„ never pretended that Mr. GorhaVs vie liAlio§-* accordance with the Articles. It weblimila co tended that they were not contrary to them, and the reason why he was allowed to be inducted into . his living was that the latitude allow e d b y the Articles did not exclude him. We need not remind time reader how much Churchmen ....wawa shocked by that judgment. It was not, indeed, an ecclesiastical judgment, but it was the judgment of a secular tribunal upon an ecclesi astical question, and exhibited the lax view which the State was disposed to take of the doctrines and authority of the Church. But one consoling thought remained—if the Articles were of such latitudinarian signification, at least High Clmurchinen might have the benefit of the latitude as well as Low. But here is a case in which the very Archbishop who, in the Gorham case,lsubscribecl to the judgment that a cer tain latitudeof interpretation was permitted by the Articles, proceeds upon an en ti re l y opposite princi ple, and narrows down the interpretation of the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth Articles within limits which, however clear to his Grace's judg- . meet, now clashes altogether with what he so lemnly assented to as an assessor in a great judicial tribunal 6 years ago. Without going into the ques tion of the exact orthodoxy of the sermons iu dis pute, it is beyond doubt that the Archdeacon has fortified his position by a long catena of authorities of the highest repute in the Church. The very cir cumstance that Bishop Overall, Bishop Bull, Bishop Taylor, Archbishop Tillotson, Archbishop Wake, Bishop Cosin, Bishop Ridley, Archbishop Bramhall, and Bishop Beveridge held and taught similar views and were not censured, is evidence of the liberty accorded within the Church, which, in our humble judgment, ought to have shielded the Archdeaconi especially when the very Primate who was his judge did, in the year 1850, treat a similar case in these words :—" We express no opinion on the theological accuracy of these opinions, (i.e., certain ecclesiasti cal writers.) The writers whom we have cited are not always consistent with themselves, nor are the reasons on which they found their positions alwayi valid ; and other writers of great emi nence, and worthy of great respect, have ex pressed very different opinions. But the mere fact that such opinions have been propounded and main tained by persons so eminent and so muTh re spected, as well as by very many others, appears to us sufficient to prove that the liberty which was left by the Articles and Formular'es has been actu ally enjoyed and exercised by the members and ministry of the Church of England,'' Such was the basin of the Gorham judgment iik 1850 ; the case of Archdeacon Denison in 1856 ought to have been dealt with by the same process. A far greater array of authorities may be marshalled in favour of Archdeacon Denison's proposition than in favour of Mr. Gorham's ; and if the latter were allowed to be inducted into a living : because there were conflicting interpretations in respect of the one Sacrament, we do not see why Archdeacon Deni son is to'be'deprived because he has espoused A particular mide in respect of the other.-111orroittg Post. AUSTRIAN PERFIDY AND MURDER. There are some crimes so horrible and unnatural that -the bare report of them cannot force itself upon human belief without strong confirmation. Such a one is the assassination in cold blood by Austrian troops of the Roman Tribune, Angelo Brunetti, bet ter kno wn as Ciceruacchie, together with his two sons, one of 19, the 'other of 13.- years of age, and four other persons. General Garibaldi, than whom a more upright and honourable man has not adorned the modern annals of Italy, is the author of this re port ; and, although we would fain disbelieve it, we fear that upon such auth or ity it mus t b e received as correct. It this should prove title, tide :most horri ble and iniquitous butchery will do more to assist the cause of revolution—not the cause of ma lerate and temperate reform—in the Italian Peninsula t than all that 3lazzini has been able to accomplish it t a quar ter of a century of agitation. This man, Angela Brunetti, had in his • time rendered great B , ervice to the Papal cause when it was in very sPrious danger. He had been courted and caressed by P:o Noho, and if, at la•t, he abandoned the party, it was no .t until it had Leon abandoned by its chief. If Briyi letti at length OA the extreme popular side at RI )me,. it must not be forgotten that the Pope himself fairly ran away in disguise. He had great influence over his fellow-townsmen, and this influence was -used on the side of peace and order. That in COMMOII: with the population of Rome he endeavoured to • resist the invading armies of France is most true—true also, that he wished ill to the - causol Austrian despotii in in Italy. He was not, however, an Austrian subje9t. He owed no allegiance to Ferdinand or his successor., What treason he may have committed was committe a against the Pope in his character of temporal Princ a , and was not certainly to be avenged by Austrian b al lets or Austrian bayonets. All that we know as yet of this moat atrocious transaction is contained in the following brief letter, addressed by General Garibaldi to a Genoese j.mrnal "Mr. Editor, —Since my retreat from Rome until this day I flattered myself that I might find eicerbac chio and his sons in some concealment in the Apen nines ; but to-day the sad certainty reaches me that the virtuous townsman of Rome was shot at Contarina, near the mouth of the Po, by. Austrian soldie To, com manded by an officer of the Imperial famil y. The persons shot were seven—Ciceruacchio, two 'eons (one ot 19, the other of 13 years), the young &lapin:in Roma rino Stefano. Parodi Lorenzo, Captain in Ole Italian Legion of Monte Video, and two other it idaviduals whose names I don't know. " I claim your favour to ask, in the name° f society, through the public press, an account of that e indivi duals from the authors of this misdeed, which certainly is necessary in the interests of the families of the de ceased, remembering at the same time that not one of tne Austrian prisoners of Luino or of the Romagna was ever shot. Observe also that Cicernacchio, his young son, and Romarine, although they accompanied me in the retreat, never carried arms. " With respect, yours, "Genoa, Aug. 6. - "G. GAItIALDL" The infamous rsons who directed tnis execution seem to forget that so bloody a deed rouses against them and the Government they represent the sympathies of Europe, just as the massacres of September in the Abbaye during the days of the first French Revolution consigned the authors of them to the universal execration of mankind. Who is to plead the cause of men who violate every good feeling of human nature, and who imbrue their bands in innocent blood ? Who can do more than deploie the reprisals with which those who authorised this bloody deed will one day surely be visited ? The wonder is that the Government of any country prc• tending to civilisation can condescend to do such shambles work for another. Why cannot the Pope be left to hang, decapitate, or destroy in prison rebels to his authority ? The Imperial family of Austria are literally poaching on their neighbour's manor for the sheer pastime of shedding blood. It is strange indeed that officers and men wearing the Austrian uniform can be found willing to submit to such deep degradation. It is intelligible that • they should shoot down the dis armed Hungarians, or knock the Viennese on the head at the word of command ; but one would have sup posed that something like military etiquette, if not ~ umanity, -would have inenired them with disgust when called upon to be the mere executioners for a foreign Prince. Nor was the present case one be tween combatants in which it was • possible that a soldier's rough logic might go astray. This Roman Tribune was not a soldier, rim- was the chaplain a " fight. ing man," nor the little boy who was so foully murdered. It is difficult to find any man in our own day in Eng land to whom Ciceruacchio could be rightly compared. Henry Hunt, perhaps, or William Cobbett, as lecturer and demagogue, not as writer, may perhaps serve as an illustration, although, in point of morality, if not of abilit', this unfortunate Roman was better than either of our English demagogues. Ciceruacchio was a man of far milder and more persuasive character than either Aunt or Cobbett, and had attained immense influence over his townsmen by far less questionable means than they at times employed in the pursuit of their political objects. Even had ho remained in Rome when the city fell into the bands of the French, it would have been as impolitic as it would have been unjust to have con demned him to death for that which, after all, was but opposition to a foreign foe. We are living in a happier land, and neither directly nor in their consequences can such acts affect us, but, were we responsibly mixed up with the direction of public affairs in most countries in Continental Europe, we could not at the present moment divest ourselves of an uneasy feeling of coming retribu tion. This massacre of Ciceruacchio, of his young chil dren, and of his friends, will help to swell the blonds debit, of which payment will one day surely,be exacted to the last item in the foul account. — Times.
