EDITOR,--As the troubles that for so Icing a season agitated the nation to its utmost extremities still linger and ferment in their half-extinguished-principles, as the clouds that have so long obscured commercial and financial prosperity, instead of clearing up, grow darker (with a few par tial and local exceptions) and threaten an eclipse, if not an ex tinction of our beloved country's glory and goveaninalig and the most patient endUrance is not c h eere d w i t h a ratitgil;ptas , pect of a close to sufferings, poignant a.4,th;y are iu4xampled, every mind capable of reflection is famed to stop - and look , round for an adequate Cause. The daring and : incessant disse minatiOn of atheistic arid revolutionary principles in every va riety of form Which detection cannot shame, 111;t: punishment livera.We and put a stop to, have, with the strictest justice, as one probable source of the commotions, been referred to. But whence these are derived, and wlay of late, so furiously propagated, * haS° not been so much as suspected. Since the effect as to degree isievent, so indisputably must be the cause. Nor need we look far, when we see and hear on every side resuscitated se minaries of the execrable fraternity of Loyola, and other con sanguineous orders, with the addition of a Catholic hierarchy in Ireland (if not elsewhere) paid and fostered by Government to an extent unknown, and increasing ever) , Session. When, at le very same time, we see foreign Catholic States, Calliclic even to bigotry, while seeking to regenerate their superannuated and now degenerate Constitutions, find the existence of such orders utterly incompatillle with the steady re-establishment of men. tal, moral, or political prosperity, and therefore have suppressed them, the following extracts will not be deemed inappropriate to our present situation : " I suppose, if the whole globe were searched, and the most authentic records of sacred and profane history examined, it would be found that there never was a nation whose spiritual prosperity has been more consulted in the dispensations of Di vine Providence, or whose entire Constitution bore a more fa vourable aspect towards the establiShment of Gospel Faith, than that of .Great Britain. But lam persuaded that an' im partial scrutiny would equally demonstrate, that no nation in the world has discovered a greater degree of wanton ingratitude Under - these signal blessings, or a stronger propensity to the admission of :error in its- most dangerous forms. Let. us consider it in these two points of view. When our Church and State lay un der the darkness and tyranny of Rome, by what marvellous and gracious interposition did GOD dispel the clouds that en veloped the one, and break the chains that fettered the other ? pouring upon us the light of truth and the blessings of li berty together, emancipating us from the slavery of Anti- Christ, thif we might wear the honourable badge, and submit to the blessed yoke of that almighty Deliverer, who came, in th e most exalted - sense, to make us free." To being about so im portant an event men were endowed with the most shining " talents . , and anointed with a divine unction. Learning and grace united all their inLal.' ence in fitting them for the most ar ctuous work in the wokl, that of vindicating truth, detecting error, and establishing-reformation. The glorious work, being of GOD, was crowned with success ; the doannas of Popish Synods were rejected; the slavish principles of Rome were re probated ; and that fallen City proved - the seat of AntisChfist. The Scripture, the key which unlocks the treasures of wisdom, Was put into the hands of the people ; th e i r ey es were opene d to behold the depths of Satan, in the former errors that had been obtruded on them. Then superstition was banished to its pri mitive shades, and disappointed tyranny forced to bite its iron chains. The beast with the seven heads roared, but in vain ; its Bulls were esteemed but as empty bubbles; and all the thun der of its Anathemas was felt only as the noise of the waves, or the dashing of their scum against the solid rock. Then Reforma tion reared its aspiring head, amidst clouds of smoke and flames of persecution ; and Liberty, with a profuse hand, scattered in numerable blessings wherever she trod. The instruments of this great work derived their materials for the completion of it from the fountain ofTruth itself, the Bible. These they threw into a sacred formulary, and collected the principal and brightest rays of truth to form the Creeds, and establish those Articles which constitute the glory of the Reformation. The great doctrines contained in them, their preaching propagated, their blood sealed. They lived Reformers and they died Martyrs ! ! But hear it with astonishment, ye friends of Reformation, th ese brightest stars, wh ose wisdom enabled them to penetrate the thick darkness of error ; and whose grace carried them victorious and triumphant through torments and death, are, in the present day, reputed as imposers on our faith, and the system they handed down to us as an antiquated tradition, or an almanac out of date. Under-all the advantages they possessed of knowing the will of God, there have not been wanting men, who have more than insinuated that our reformers were bad interpreters of Scripture; and who have wished our doctrinal articles thrown aside as useless lumber, or an .intolerable burden. Thus the vine which the Lord brought out of Egypt, (out of Rome) these men wish torn up by the roots • and the fence that surround s i t t h ey wou ld rejoice to see levelled with the ground. And to what end ? Why, that those 'who cannot get at the grapes without climbing the fence of subscription, might riot upon the spoils with greater ease. And that, when the obnoxious barrier was removed, our church, like the vine yard of the Lord, might lie open to every beast of thesfield that chose to devour its fruits, and to every wild ass that wanted to quench its thirat at her fountain !! ! ' After remarking the demoralizing results of such principles and such measures, and delineating them, in the darkest colours ; yet not darker than What the truth and soberness of dispassionate reflection will as sent to, he adverts to the political consequences which the state tmay expect to follow. 4 I shall not here presume to deter mine any thing. absolutely resp ec ti ng G o d' s . v isi tat i ons : that would be equally inconsistent with the dictates of modesty and humility, as with the laws of truth and soberness. 'Prophecy is not the province of the now, as it has been in old time ; and any attempt to tread that sacred, ground, being the suggestion of enth us i asm , must b e attended with pride and -ter. urinate in mistake. There is, however, a path, which we may tread with safety, in investigatin g th e di s p ensat i ons o f the Al mighty; and it is the way of wisdom, and of certainty too. When an axiom or self-evident truth in Scripture has been corroborated by a chain of providential facts, all tending to the same evd, and illustrative of the same thing, we may inter cer tainly, that, under similar circumstances, the same truth will meet with a similar application on the whole; and the infer ence, in that case, will be as certain as the unchangeable truth and corroborating dispensations on which it is founded."' Now no Scripture axiom is more frequently or more forcibly incul cated than the detestation which the Deity • expresses at Our having any other objects of religious worship than His own in finite perfections. odo not this abominable thing which my soul hateth." And why ? Because nothing more tends to vitiate and demoralize the human mind than exercising the de votional affections on an idolatrous object. Witness the Ca.: naanites of old, where every moral abomination that could de grade and pollute ,human society, was practised without con trol ; for it is expressly stated, " they lived after the manner of the Zidonians, and there was no magistrate in the land to put them-to shame in anything." Witness also modern Ilindos tan, where humanity and virtue recoil at the horrors which for ages have: been disseminated and perpetrated through all its states, under the form of devotional ritual, and sanction of rel.. gious principle. Yet with these. catholicism 'so fraternises and associates, that Dr. Buchanan saw even the obscene car of Jug gernaut used in a popish festival, to conciliate the Hindoos ; the perpetual pretext offered by the priests in all past, as well as present, times, for incorporating the abominations of hea then idolatry with Christianity, until the latter is completely lost in the forms of their atrocious ritual.. But there is and has been all along, a further end in view than mere conciliation. We know the hier arc hy o f R ome h as r i sen to that height of blasphemous impiety, as to pretend to forgive sin. First prat-- ticed in relaxing the penalties of their monastic institutions ; but now for many ages extended to every offence against Gon and man, upon paying the priests: their stipulated fees ; for every crime has its price.

For proof look at the moral state of every Catholic country; look at our own, since the repeal of the penal statutes, where mendicity, robbery, tumult and assassination have rendered the me tropolis, and many of our large country towns, a " ma gor-missabib terror round about." We frequently, see or hear of popish criminals, when launching into eternitY, ao lemnly declare (although they have been convicted on the dear est evidence) ." that they are innocent of the crime 'for which they suffer,' pure as unsunned snow, confiding in the absolu tion pronounced by their execrable priests. And. that this has been their constant practice, read the testimony of an author of the highest eminence in the learned world, frequently styled another name for the learning itself, "the celebrated Erasmus:" _What shall I say of such a s cry u p an d ma i nta i n t h e c h eat i o f p . ardOns and indulgencies . ? That by these compute the time of each soul's residence in purgatory, and assign them a lesser or shorter continuance, as they purchase more or fewer of these paltry pardons and saleable exemptions ? By this easy way of prirchasing, pardons, any notorious high. - weaymarl; any phintieriag 'soldiera fifty . bribe -taking judge, shall ,disburse some part of their unjust gains, and so. think all their grossest impieties sufficiently atoned f or; so manv perjuries, lusts, drunkenesses, quarrels, bloodsheds, cheats, 'treacheries, and all sorts of debaucheries, shall be as it were struck a bar gain for ; and such a contract made, as if they had paid off all arrears, and might now begin upon •n new score ! Sever a l o f these fooleries, which are so gross and absurd as I myself am ashamed to mention, are practiced and admired, not only by the vulgar but by such proficients in religion as one might well ex - al pect should have more wisdom ! (See Pane g yric on Folly, page 09). Indeed it is universally known that this' began the Re. formation,, and it is still with the utmost effrontery avowed or palliated by their whole body. When we behold, not theaolera tion, but the virtual establishment of 'these enormities, by a systematic encroachment, practiced every new Session. of Par liament, by their patrons and partizans; from the order by the War Office of a salary to Popish Chaplains in the army, up to the establishment of three Jesuit Universities ' Castle Brown and Maynooth in Ireland, a nd Sto ne yh urs t in England ; of 7 Colleges aid 40 Schools; many of them Monastic Establish ments, that fled from the Continent during the late war, and now polluting the British soil, it is surely high time for the nation to wake from 'its dream ; and break the. chains that are evidently preparing., for, it: and to require exclusion, not only from Parliament,. but also from what is called th e C a b inet , o f all partizans of that treacherous'and hostile communion. Since not only'the internal, but also the external interests of the na tion have been sacrificed through palpable misadvice, in o th er instances besides the Colonial Timber Trade, ever since the peace. Take the past practices of 'the conclave 'ever since the Reformation, in the words of a late respected writer.—" The indignant Pontiffs beheld the loss of their flocks, and the defal cation of their revenues, and deep in their hearts meditated the means of their recovery, and of vengeance on their enemies.-.- The pacifimtion of Augsburg has bound up the arm of violence ' from persecution, and every where proclaimed peace and toler ance among the contending Princes. But peace was torment' to the Romish Prelates, and tolerance of all imaginable evils. the most intolerable : high treason against the majesty of those. Anathemas which they had hurled against all heretics. The first object, therefore, of Rome, and of those who filled the Papal Chair, - was to break this bond of union ; to rouse the Catholic Princes to freeh acts of oppression in their own dorni nions, to bring back to the house of their prison those who had emancipated themselves from the yoke of bondage. As the ob ject was to recover their lost power, wealth and dominion, the means they possessed were unfortunately too well suited to the end. ' The house of Austria, with the other Catholic Prima, devoted partizans of the Holy See, were especially conned to these they looked for an arm of flesh and persecution. Another and yet more powerful engine was found in the wily, insinuat ing, restless and indefatigable Order of Jesuits; the firmest sup porters of the Holy See, and its most zealous as well as able satellites. These were dispersed through all lands, and seized every opportunity to pervert the ignorant or oppress the feeble. In the Courts of Princes, whose confessors they chiefly were, the laxity of their moral system recommended their prescrip tions for quieting guilty consciences • and one commutation was always sure to be suggested, zeal for the conversion of he retics, and the employment of any means, however Savage; or contrary to the most solemn engagements, cancelled all alines. The pens of their artful and perfidious Casuists were first em ployed to prove the nullity of the peace of Augsburg, and. to charge upon the Protestants various pretended - -infractions, to justify the attack meditated against thern,"l- &c. Set. This brought on the thirty years carnage, ending in the Peace of Westphalia. Then the Protestants of Poland and of Hungary were made their prey ; and the Dukes of Savoy and Piedmont were'instigated to hunt out the poor remains of the Waldenses." After followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantz : then the Civil Wars in Britain, under Charles 1., whose Queen w a s a bigotted papist, and had a principal h a nd in exciting the bloody scenes that followed. Then what can be looked for now, where these infernal incendiaries are actually re-established ? The establishment of Popery in Canada brought on the American War, and has left the name of the Minister for a curse to all future British generations : as the present Irish measures will ren der that of their promoters to the Protestants in the Sister King dom. To some may be applied the wo r d s o f th e P oet : What, strewest thou sugar on that bottled spider, whose deadly web ensnareth thee about ?" But sure there is good sense enough yet in the Senate, to prevent the dreaded catastrophe.-1 an respectfully, your's April 3, 1821.

THE CARBoxAni.-- 7 -It was under the govern merit of Murat, that Caroline of Austria, Queen of Naples and sister to the unfortunate Marie Antoinette, knowing the spirit of independence' which animated the' nation, instituted the society of the Carbonari, for the purpOse of dethroning ..the Frenchman as a foreign usurper. She pro mised them to establish a- government founded on rational liberty, and all the persons, who were initiated, bound them .

'fleas of liberty, never, ceased to germinate among the members of this occult society, which was composed of citizens of every class without exception. It' was a fire which lay concealed under the ashes, ready to .burst forth at the first favourable moment. The proclamation of the Spanish constitution at Ma drid last year was the signal for the explosion, and this constitution was accordingly proclaimed at Naples; The name of Carbonari, or Colliers, was taken by the . society as emblematical of the secrecy of their operations, which, like the col liers, they conducted in the • dark.—French Paper.

FiON6URED SI R, BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the AL year 1790, I had been -afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every coarse of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here; and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my disorder had got to sech a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one on each arm, and my legs .were broke out iii a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take yOur Leake's Patent Pills, • which I began to do on the 26th o. May ; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benetit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how. ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing Of God, a ub l a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly.free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a lid strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many mouths, to the astonishment of all who knew me, I am at a loss in what terms tea express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall - on every occa sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.] . Numerous arrests, it is said, have Liteiy taken place in Prussia; and-the apprellensions of iti Government , have led an augmentation of the standing' rmy. It was understood that ' the King of Prussia had good reasons for not obeying his sum. , =ADS to taybach ; and it is now affirmed, 'that if the NcaPoli tans had Made any' stand "against the Austrian's, the Prussians ,would have' , broken . out .into insurrection. Though. we know that there has long been great discontent in Prussia, and belieVe t' apt the' King will some time or Other be du— lived to , keep his promise to his subjects, we doubt - very much the possibility of a Prussian Insurrection. The.

Besides, of all the Northern 'Germdns, we should least expect any. effort of this kind to be made by .the OLD Prussians. The extraordinary .circumstances which pre ceded the termination of 'the war, produced in them a temper- ary efFervescencee which displayed itself in high-flown tirades, in , which they modestly took Credit to - themselves for all the vir tues under the sun, and assigned all the vies to the French; and in a greater number of ballads, •perhaps, than ever weze before written in any country for a - good half century; but • they soon relapSed into their old state of tranquil Submissive. ness. - • • ..

[MORNING lIERALD.] There is no intelligence worth notice from Naples. Indeed, none could have been expected: The King apjwars not to have yet left Florence.
