WEEKLY RETnOSPECT. °fill species of Slavery, that of " ATRIOTHM," so culled, .or of POPULARITY, is the heaviest— chat courting of the " Peoale," a phrase so fre -vent in the mouths of the Aristocratic Whigs, or Whiggish Aristocratswe know not well - which to call them. The KING, LORDS, and .COMktoNS are the three grated . Constitutional di- Insions of the Nation—but the PEOPLE of Britain axtfiN we must consider . as comrnen- - - 'at raate terms. In Awl, there cannot be a more , taunting insult to the poorer and hard working • atases 'of the Commo .

When we see a Northern Carbonari drive .. t spongel his ragged pitmen. •in a .chariotand six, kith, seven outriders, and , hear him talk - of their distresses—oraviten we . hear the 'Power and the ..

G. ~~. , FOR THE SUN. POLITICAL REMARKS. " We have, 15!Jaever, sheivn In our last by a concatenation of liistOrical factS yj that scgiir from Despotism being4n6o.4 r a g ed by . ,tlre piineiples of Catholicism, they essentially . operated to put down an intolerant spirit, and preserve that equilibrium of power which is necessary in 'a free and consti tutional form of Government." Ma. EDITOR—This assertion, quoted from THE CATHOLIC ADVDC.I.Tk of Sunday last, is not only impudent, but completely .false. That it very cunningly has attempted, in the number it alludes to, by the manner In which it has.arranged its arguments, to turn the tables on the 'Protestants, Ido not deny. It may be best for the interest of the Catholics thus to blind the uninformed part of the.peOple of this Country, who 'can " only read and- write;" nor is such" practice novel in countries where the Popish religion chiefly pre vails.. Bilt I will supply genuine historical facts, ungarbled or perverted, and from accounts too published by themselves, that shall strip their assertion of the assumed semblance of truth ; and they may be denied, but not by honest proof cow- tra dieted. 'The intolerant spirit, then, coniplaiiiej of by: the Catholic' Advocate, 'was the cry of " No Persecution,and Liberty of ConscienCe and Religion." This spirit' became universal' through England, and overpOWered'the Popish Tyrann y that then existed.; . consequently -it bad 'oh that account become intolerant since it was irresistible, and effected the-object for which it conterided. It was justified by the:previous extortions, perse: cutions, and massacres committed "by the . Agents of.Popery, that aroused this spirit-to action; con sequently, since these cruelties-had been' sornani.: fold when Protestantism first became triumphant, it, in the frailty to which our- nature is liable, in rOenge, punished its former oppressors the. Pa pists. Therefore, it is wilful misrepresentation to state that persecutions were first-committed by the propagators of Christianity, and that those ledi . to the persecutions by the Papists afterwards on the Protestants. Had Popery- possessed any, one conciliating, doctrine, it might have existed in unabated vigour.to. this day ; but it never had, and is just.the same now as ever. The laws exe. cuted in the days when, Popery had the' ascen dancy are everlasting records against it, and pre sently we shall refer to :them; but first, I request the attention . of your Readers to the following' remarks upon -the Catholic Claims :--- "By a Raman Catholic is not Meant man Who . doesnot "re cognise his own - prineipies, however intelligent "and respectable lie may be ; but by this denomination is intended a person:who is BONA FIDE allonym eatlialfc: And in Order to forM a cor rect judgment on this point, we must carefully, separate every thing that is local, temporary, andadventitiolici and confine our inquiry to - what is essential tOhis heing, as a conscientious mem ber of the Roman Catholic Church.- For what is -essential to such a character in any age or nation, is essential in every age and in every nation, and under allpossiblecircumstances: Eire (says the Authoryl am .obliged to Iliad the same ground which . has been so Often trod befote-4 antitoti , ge qucStions to which no 116; skive answer has been given by any authority to which the great . btitly of the Roman Catholics subMit, ac decisive.

We now, indeed, laugh. at these Anathe- Mas ; but 'they" made our fathers weep, and they will again make our children weep, if our Government should again be come Catholics. The thunder of. the. Councils'was ever attend ed with showers of blood. . - " Does a conscientious Roman. Catholic believe that he is not bound to keep faith with Heretics ? Here is a fundamental ar ticle of their Creed, established, confirmed, sanctioned by the same infallible, Authorities - as. the preceding, and to this day hath never been rescinded. Hence we infer that a Protes tant Nation can have, no security for the fidelity of Catholics invested with political paw - jr, and that in the opinion of every sound Catholic, the obligation of a, word or oath, not excepting the oath of allegiance, is null and void, when the - contracting parties are Protestants on the one side and Roman Catholics -on - the other. Let it beAtefully remembered that on this tenet is stamped the awful attribute of infallibility. Here let me ash: further, does not the honest Roman Catholic believe that the end sanctifies the means, 'When - the good of their Church :is the end to be answered ? On-tilts in;xim they have acted whenever in terest concurred with apportnriity sate 'and politically expedient. This doctrine will accommodate itself to approve of BRIBERY and CORRUPTION, DIipLICITy and PERJURY, ASR.ASSINA TIoNrs and mußttEg; when the interest of their Church is to be promoted. But this i; not all. " The Roman Cathetis consider themSe/ves as the, original 7 • 'proprietors of the etholuments of the Church, of the ofUces of Government, ..-not excepting the Royal Office, and, indeed, of the whole king' dom. Will not this doctrine, therefore, go to sanction the. subversion of Protestant Government, and if another might be erected upon its ruins, which would render .obedience to his infallible Ifoliness the Bishop of Rome.

Court of Peers, after repeated sittings on the subject of the late attempts on the life and person of the KING and the ROYAL FA, ..4uir.y (antecedent to -the explosions) declared, Aligt out of the seven tyrftVe.persons who .11(1 d been accused, only thirty4fotir ought to be tried, -twenty-four as authors - or accomplices, cad the iremaining ten for not having given information of the plot. The time at which the trial is to com mence is not yet fixed.; but a fortnight's previous 'notice of trial at least is to be given -to each of the accused, only twenty-nine of whom are in custody ; the other five have not yet' been ar rested. A long and stormy discussion toak place in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday last, on the Petition of a Captain DENBAUX, complaining of being struck off the half-pay list of the Army. he. Petition was finally referred to the . Minister of War. The third and fourth articles of the Financial Law relative to Annuities, were afterwards mov ed, and carried by a large majority. The permanent Deputation of the National Parliament of Naples, consisting of S. S. G,aDI, SCRUGLI, NICOLA', BERN', BORELLI, DONATO, and STIIANO, assembled on the Ist inst. and pro ceeded-to the clectioa . of:„'. President and Se- A A I. • cretary. Signor GA Lni was nominated President, • and Signor BEItiVI, Secretary., The Deputation has just addressed a Procla mation to the Neapolitans announcing its instal lation, and expressive of Hit patriotic sentiment s with liklichils Menlbers, J ere animakd, Tiae'y promise to use every exertion for the maintenance of peace and to watch over the safety of the people ; and, in return, demand a ready obedience to the Laws. Th - e Deputation regards the preservation of the Constitution as its princi- pal duty, since the Constitution forms the com mon bond of security ; by guaranteeing the Mer ty of the citizens, th of_the throne and dynasty, and the maintenance of a just equi librium in the Administration of Public Affairs. The Proclamation then continues in nearly the following words "If the in nocence and rectitude of its principles, , as a thousand instances of loyalty -and me= deration displayed towards all the Powers of Eu ropeiought to operate hrestablishing our new histi tutlon, wee should .be as happy and confident as we are free ; but ne w political Combinations, Which have been recently formed, may menace our tranquillity. 'We must , consequently increase and strengthen our systeni_of..,defence, so that we may be able to avert from- ourselves the 'storms which agitate nations who must be regarded as Foreigners to Italy. " Citizens, cherish the generous flame of the Love of Country ! Let it be to us'that sacred acid eternal fire, which sooner or later reduces to ashes the bulwarks of arbitrary power, and sur. rounds with a brilliant light the horizon of free • Nations and the Thrones of generous Princes. ":Preserve constantly among 'yourselves the relationssof friendship, justice, beneficence, and concord : the greatest empires have fallen through the effect of discord, and by means of concord the smallest and most unknown States have risen to the highest point of grandeur. " Fame will transport beyond the Alps and make known to the great Monarchs of. the North, the calm and tranquillity which prevail through-. out the Two Sicilies, as well as the noble atti tude which the people have assumed. These Monarchs will say, ' This nation is worthy of its high destinies,' and our good King Ferdinand will rejoice in the just praises bestowed on his subjects." • • There. is' no fresh intelligence • respecting Naples from Laybach or Vienna.

I.—Fire )►cr Cents, Bank Stuck ~ 8.5 f. 45 c. 1501 f. 45 c. AL I PA C H . The Suliotes, according to an article of the 2d ult. , from Corfu, .had embraced the cause of Am, and with a corps of 5000 men occupied all the roads from San Dometrio (three leagues from Joannina) 'to Aurto. They had captured two hundred mules . . laden with aminunition and provisions for the Turkish Army, which remained encamped in the plains near ,the sea-coast. The whole of the escort by which this convoy was pro tected:were put to the sword. It was confidently stated that Am had given his nephew and two persons of distinction as-hostages to the Suliotes, and had received is return eight 'of their principal Chiefs: It was also thought that the other Greek Chieftains, as well as - part of the Zamides, had en tered into secret arrangements with the PAcuA end that he was supported besides by . 8,000 cites (inhabitants of a province situated near his native town, Tepeleni), who had shaken - . off the Turkish yoke forty- days before. If his AllieS succeeded-in occupying the road of lifezzoro,. of which they had orders to take possession, all the communications of the Turkish Artily would be cut off, and it could Only receive provisions by, sea. " 4Ve cannot too much admire the ificou; ! stancy of fortune,'!, adds the articles, for it is through the assistance of those who were lately his enemies, that ALI is becoming powerful. It is probable that his partizans hope to derive great advantage from his genius and his riches, and from haying at -their head a than, who, they are 'certain, can haie no secret intelligence with the Porte." • We cannot but view the revival of the question of the .cotholic Claims, as another means for harrassing the Minister, although his liberality, it is said, has induced him to 'Concede, 'that it shall not be - considered or treated as a-Cabinet Ques tion. .Whatever : may b e th e feelings. of the GO, vernment upon it, it is impossible to consider these petitions - -in any. other light than as intend,- ed to embarms.Si,the Protestant division of the present AdminiStration, and as calculated to ex cite an odium against :the Crown; ferit is will understood,: that His MAJESTY' entertains a de.; Cided opinion that h e cannot consistently giV e Ins sanction to a Measure which im conscien tiously believes will. endanger the Establishment in Church and State, and the quiet possession: of that civil and religious liberty which Protestants of all denominations enjoy at present throughout the British Dominions and which His august Family : were brought here to maintain. The dis cussion, therefore,' at this period, can answer no good purpose. ,For if, contrary to all expectation, the measure should . pass . through two branch e s of the. LegiSlaitire, - it. appears very unlikely that it 540104 . iggelre the sanction of the thiid,'• and a dissolution of Parliament must. then inevit ably follow , the consequences of which it is'need less now to anticipate.

In this Speech Mr.. PITT Stated, ‘ 4 ,that, -" the points which had beenurvedwere much toot 4 : " unit;lportant to induce the house to.go into a. " Committee _?pen a petition which embraced the.
