TO SIR G. HILL, BART. SIR,—As I address yon with the almost respect, on a subject of very great importance, little apology is, I trust, necessary for the liberty I take. In the; last debate on 'Mr. PLUNRZTT'S Roman Catholic Bill, you are reported to have said that no conscientious Protestant can take the oath of supremacY after the passing of this-Bill; and if I presuine, to doubt the justness of your opinion, T 01), will, I; am persuaded, give due consideration - Corny r,asoas: The oath of iupremacy to be taken by every Protestant who accepts any important office, is " that no c:rt,ign Potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this 'realm." Now, I cannot see how the Right Hon. F. ROBINSON, or the Right Hon. G. CANNXNO4 orother Right lion. and Hon, Patrons of the Bill could have declared on oath, their sincere belief thiii no foreign - Potentate ought to hale and ecclesiastical or spiritual authority in the realm, and then in their places in Parliament maintain and vote, and persuade others to vote and rnainbin, that the Pope ought to have such authority, unless they are in possession cf some interpretation of these words which is not obvious to common understandings, and with which you and "I are unacquainted. Nor can I conceive that those Gentlemen would treat the subject with the most playful wit and humour unless they were convinced that we are wholly mistaken. The explanation said to have been given by the Right Hon. F. ROBINSON is that,the oath only asserts that the Pope does not now possess, and ought not to possess, all the authority that he did when the Roman Catholic Religion was the re ligioft of the State ; but this I take for granted is only produced to throw a little dust in our eyes ; for u►:less the words " no foreign Potentate ought t o have any," and those which Mr. Ronxxsox is reported to have substituted for them, namely " no foreign Potentate (the Pope) ought to have all the power he had," signify the same thing, we cannot receive this interpretation. In truth it is of so very bungling a nature that it would disgrace the dullest catechumen of the Jesuits after his first lesson. Another hint is given rather covertly, though I suspect seriously meant : The Right Hon. Gen tleman talks very much of wars which have arisen during the last century, with what view I really cannot understand, unless it be to draw us on to this conclusion, that as the wars were not religious but political, so the oath of supremacy is not a religious but a political oath. Not to dwell, however, longer -on speculations of this kind, which do not carry with them much conviction, I am compelled to conclude that you and I are most lamentably in the dark, and that these Gentle men have some secret interpretation of the oath, which they have not yet produced. I most re spectfully then, request you, Sir, who are near the fountain head of intelligence, to procure, for the , satisfaction of your humble Servant, their real opinions on this point. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, RICHARD DUBIOUS. P oPEat.--( Leicester, April . 9.)—At a Meet ing. of the Inhabitants of St. Martin's Parish, holden this morning, a Petition against the no man Catholic Claims was unanimously adopted and, numerously signed. Although only a few hours notice was given, the meeting was both numerous and highly respectable. The Petition will be - forwarded to-day for presentation by the Loan d:IANCELLOR to the House of Lords to morrow.--The Dissenters in the connection of HuNTIGDON, in Leicester, have also adoptil'd a very decided Petition against the Claims, whiCh will also be presented to-morrow.

These undaunted Champions of British Liberty, while they contended for their own civil rights, secured at the same tirne - the rights of the Clergy, by making. the election of Bishops independent of the Crown; but here we see their descendants ignominiously crouching to the Boroughmongers, and thanl:ing them for a measure which, while it grants to them civil free dom at the sacrifice of conscience, binds their Clergy hand and foot, and places thein at the mercy of the most corrupt system tlfat ever op• pressed the country."—(Catholic Advocate:) • DEATIT OF DR.

MARSEILLES, APRIL 3.—A vessel has arrived here from Naples. Immediately on her making port she was surrounded by armed sloops, which cut off all_cornmunication between her and the shore. This strange proceeding has given rise to an opinion that the news from Naples is not so favourable to the Austrian cause as it was. Report says that every night Austrians fall vic tims to the stiletto in the streets of Naples ; and that in cpnsequence they have begun to take up positions on the neighbouring heights. TUIUN, MAR.cli 31.—Yesterday, March the 30tb, our Consul at Algiers, who was at Turin, threw himself from a, window, and died on the spot. Grief, at seeing the chames in our poli tical system, was the cause of this self-de struction. Last night an attempt was made to carry away the treasure from the office of the Minister of Finance. More than 200 • citizens, armed with muskets and stilettoes; frustrated the attempt.— The carabineers, who are very unfavourable to the new system, are accused of this attempt. The day before yesterday the President of the Junta set off for Alessandria; he returned last night. it is said that the object of his journey was to,cornmnnicate to the Jenta of Alessandria the proposition of the Emperor Alexander, who promised his mediation to Piedmont, and a Consti tution, if they would put themselves in his hands and not require the Spanish Constitution. An Aide-de-Camp of the Prince of Carignano (they write from Alessandria) is directed to make the same proposal in case they will be contented with the Constitution of France. The Junta answered that they would ha% e the Spa nish Constitution or nothing. FRANKFORT PAPERS. We received Frankfort Papers to the 3d inst. this morning. The following are the most inte resting of their contents:--- " LAYILICH, MARCH 25.—0 n the 6th of this month Prince Alexander Ypsilanti, son of the former llospodar of Moldavia, Major-General in the Russian army, who for this year past has been out of actual service, proceeded with a.nu merous retinue of Amounts from Bessarabia to Jassy, and announced himself as the deliverer of the Greeks from the Turkish Government. On the same evening the Turks who were at Jassy (about 30 in number) were disarmed, and, ac cording to all appearance, put to death. It is certain that already, three days before the arri val of Prince Ypsilanti, an insurrection, attended with bloodshed, had taken place at Galacz, in which all the Turks in that city, who would not save thqmselves by flight, were massacred, and the city itself almost laid in ashes. " On the 17th March, Prince Ypsilante issued numerous proclamations, both to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia, and to the Greek Nation, in the provinces of the Turkish Empire. These proclamations, drawn up in the most ex alted language of poetry, •in which he declares himself to haVe been called upon by many thou , I sands of his countrymen fo undertake the work ' of their deliverance, describes the insurrection of all the Greek tribes as a resolution which has long been resolved upon, which has been prepar ing for many years by secret patriotic Societies, and is now every where matured for execution ; and it is likewise expressly asserted in them, that the enterprise has to expect the powerful support of a great neighbouring power ; at the same time Prince Ypsilanti addressed a petition, drawn up in the same style, to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and called upon that august Sovereign not to refuse his powerful support to the Greek Nation, and particularly to the two principalitieS which were exposed to great danger. "As soon as the preceding intelligence was re ceived•at Laybach,. his Majesty the Emperor Alexander was pleased to declare that he could consider the undertaking of Prince Ypsilante only 4s an effort of the unquiet spirit which charac terises the present times, as well as of the inex perience• and levity of that young man, but at the same time his Majesty has resolved as follows : " Ist. Prince Ypsilanti is excluded from the Russian service. " end. It is notified to him that his Majesty the Emperor entirely disapproves of his enterprize, and that he is never to expect any kind of sup port in it on the part of Russia. " 3rd. Express orders are given to General Count Wittgenstein, Commanding in Chief the Russian troops on the Pruth and in Bassarabia, to observe the strictest neutrality in the troubles which have brOken out 'in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and under no pretext whatever to take any part in them, either directly or indirectly. "4th. These resolutions are communicated to the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, with or ders to communicate them to the Porte, and to confirm the frank and open assurances given to it on occasion of the late insurrection in Wal lachia. Baron Von Strogonoff shall expressly declare, that the policy of his Majesty the Em peror is once for all alien to all and every in trigue which may threaten the tranquillity of any country whatever ; that every participation in such commotions would be hi contradiction to the upright principles of his Imperial Majesty, and that the' Emperor in his relations with the Porte has no object and no wish but the main tenance and punctual execution of the Treaties subsisting . between the two Powers. " Orders have likewise been given by our Court to the Imperial Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople, to express himself in the same manner, and to signify to the Porte in the most friendly terms the sincere desire of his Majesty the Emperor, by the inviolable observance of the Treaties, to preserve unshaken the neiations of peace and amity now subsisting between Austria and the Sublime Porte."---(Franleybrt German Gazette, April 3, I 89.1.)

This has been our case in a letter from Paris, referring to our Ambassador at that. Court. We have every reason to believe that our Correspondent has been imposed upon by false and malignant rumours. We are persuaded, from authority on which we perfectly rely, that our Ambassador has conducted himself with► de licacy, prudence, and dignity, maintaining the influence of the English Cabinet, as far as it could be maintained in a country torn by contending factions, and which, most probably, on the demise of the present wise and virtuous Monarch, will be involved in a new Revolution, to the general disturbance of all Europe.

Every thing which they could find ill the houses of the unfortunate people who had fallen victims, was either burnt or carried off.
