TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. E". , :TRACTS FROM' TETE MORNING PAPERS.] r Yew Tim es.] L TiORRIBLF, .V 1 1 ENIVT AT AN,ACSINAT!ON have to announce with feelings of horror. a diabolical attempt to prevent, by assassination, the - arriNal of. Colonel lieoivszt: in this country. This Gentleman, against whose character such infathens slanders have been circulated by the pretended - fri;-nds of the Qur.r.sr,, some time ago came ever to England, where having learnt the partiChlar chart:es brought against him, he re turned to Italy try col:ect decisive evidence for fie refutation of these calumnies. Whilst he was Lore, he did net .conceal his belief that his life would be attempted in Italy ; and he mentioned to .the Gentleman from whom we receive this 'state meta, that he commonly carried pistols for •self-de fen e. He had nearly arranged his affairs at Milan, and had already - forwarded all his papers to Eng.- land, meaning to fellow them himself in less than ten days, whets, on the Sth instant, returning late at night and alone from the Opera, he' was attacked by two Assassins, evidently with no in tention of robbery ; for though. •they disabled him,-the - ; did not attempt to plunder him of his watch, motaey, or other valuables. The Colonel defended himself resolutely and a violent struggle ensued, in which' he received four : wounds in the head, apparently with a knife, and one in the chest. evidently with a stiletto. The last would cer tainly have been fatal, but for the thickness ofhis streat coat, coat, and waistcoat. As it was, the -weapon . penetrated on the left side of the. chest, and. considerably injured the seventh rib. The. Colonel's friend and physician, Dr. Ciceri, v:as called in, who, on- Perceiving the nature- of the wounds; hought it necessary' to require the assistance of an eminent 'Surgeon,' Professor Palette, of the Milan 'Hospital, and both of them continued_ assiduously to attend their pa tient. Three of the wounds in the head were pretty deep, the other slighter ; but the most dangerenis was the wound in the chest front which, - however, his .medical attendants are in clined to think that fatal consequences are' net to be apprehended. ' It is attended with acute pain, restlessness, - and difficulty of breathing; but these symptoms have been alleviated by bleeding. Upon the whole, the' Colonel . is: going on AS well as could be expected ; he is in the hands , 'of very skilful men, d wilL receive every benefit' that care and attention can give. The assassins have for the present escaped, but the Government has taken every step for their apprehension.-The above account is contained in a letter from the "Duke of Leeds to the Earl of Liverpool ; and bulletin by Dr. Ciceri and Professor Paletta, up to 6 p. rh. on the 10th instant, kas also beets for-: -warded, for the satisfaction of the Colonel's friends. tis hoped that he will himself-be able to write by the next courier. one • [ Tice Times.; • The public will by this time have perused the kcJrnes and cautiously weighed the consequence and character of those gentlemen who have sign ed the requisition for a meeting of the great com rnercial,interests of the city of London, in the . Egyptian Hall, on Wednesdey next, to take in to consideration the present state of public affairs. Though .the general purport of the resolutions of Such men, on such an occasion, may be well anti- . cipated, we shall abstain from speaking of them till wehave them before us ; but that to which -, ve Would - at present point .attention is the requi sition to the Lord Mayor to call a meeting. That requisition is of itsclf an important document, for it col:J.101v, in 'clear and proper terms, the base and - Stieekingcustora, now first introduced in this ; country, of furtively signing , addresses when no meetinr, has been called ; and it states that the 1 occult origination of an address •thus signed, was onkor-the impelling:causes for tailing' the present meeting. We copy the 4ords of the requisition _ which relate to this subject :-- 4 , ,We, the unilersiptett,Merchant, &c., of London, yield " ing 40 cane of . our fellow subjects in sentiments of loyalty " to the Crown, attachment to.the •Constnution, and abhor ., reace.of hlagpliemy and 4rdition, nevertheless cannot but " feel great oljections to the manner in which the ahove " mentioned Declaratiln has been obtained and prinnulgat '' efi',intrpqrtilie - to represent the opinions of the otereaotile " body of this great • city, - without • havinl.7 affi - dcti to the ", ivesohees of that holy the opport unity of as;ernliling to de " liberate upon , the necessity of soy socb'declarstion being' " made, or upon the sentiments which it wotild.be expedient " to express; if such a declaration should be thought. nececL ' OZlT:readPr will perceive by the above extract ho . i.v accurately. the nOnion which we have al ways promulgated or r , the subject of : hele-and 7 . comer addresses. agrees' With 'the TeCtit thA ' de- • claratidn Of the Brest commercial interests in this. metropolis, and, indeed, - I.4ifit the Sentirnents of all :men of. spirit and candour throughout the . kitagdom.....The King himself is, above all, injur ed and insulted by-these 'addresses. .."

Why, what a " sneakingunmanly tribe you must .be." '.'his,• we •are •'sure,' is the : feeling of his Majesty upon these addresses, :and might alsO With pro priety constitute the ptirpoit of his replies.

The Crown may' support.thern, as . ittas done rather too runtit ; tint they will nev'er support the Crown. We shall have:tceasion to'speak of a brutal' herd of this 'description some day at the be:Finniag•of next' week. [Morning I'oo.l Tlle King comes to town this day . , and go in state tb tho'House of Lords'on Tuesday next, to open the Session of•Parliarnent . with a Speech from the Throne. Without, idly speculating on the cours which Ministers mean to purbue, we may fairly infer from the past, that it will be dictated by an honest regard:for ' the public in terest. We have also a pledge in the wisdom and independence of the'two 'Houses, that no measure will receive their sanction which is not recoMmend ed both by the necessity of the case, and by its ac cordance with the great principles of the Constitu tion. It is an easy task„pnd apparently a gratifying _ to make sweeping charges - of delinquency ag-tinst public functionaries. This ;--,pirit of defama tion is probably as old as Government itself, and it appears to have been virulent in the ratio of its injustice. It is certain, that, in free States, where facility of detection isn strong bar:to corruption, and where a character of integrity is absolutely favourable to lawful purposes of ambition„this spirit is most preValent. It is an accompaniment of liberty, as shadow is of light ; and it has, no doubt, its adva`ntageS, as it has its defects. It may be compared one of those base..sub stances _that:are eMployed to ptirify certain bodies. However, the wealth, grandeur, and.morat cha racter of the -country - are the best refutation of the calumnies that have been vented yea; after year against the public administration. The al leged corruptions:. of Parliament are Coeval with the 'first refinements ,that were made in the insti- Jution ; and whilst the nation was moving with qaparalleled rapidity to the elevated point- it has reached, charges of misrule became more fre quent and violent. Perhaps these accusations had no other effect than to make the Members of the Executive Government and those.of the Le gislature more firm and vigilant inthe - discharge of their high functions. They have usually shewn themselves equal Un . the efirieigency. When dan gers threatened from abroad; their character al most invariably rose with their magnitude ; .. and domestic - fends have been - always 'met by a cor responding energy and wisdom. It may be said that the strength of our institutions increases with difficulties, and we have no doubt that- the events of the approaching Sessiob manifes4 the solidity - of our remark. They will probably ' prove that Ministers may propose with confidence such measures as the state" of The country shall render necessary.' They will alSo shew that popu= lar clamour and menace have 'no other influence 'on the proceedings of the 'Legislature than so strengthen the laWs against tumult and insuhordi nation. • [Morning' Chronicle.] . . Letters from various:Parts of Brazil were yes terday received. Those from Maranhairr; dated the 7th of November, mention that his Britannic :Majesty's ship Creole had arrived there from Rio Janeiro, in order to take - in specie on account ofl private indiViduals, though it is stated, that Messrs. Targani, Villa Nova, &c. were con nected With the operation. It would seem that specie was scarce at Rio, •,nd very favourable prospects had teen held out by those connected with the Treasuty, in order to induce shipments, it being represented that the Spanish dollar . wasl worth 1000 reis,'and the half doubloon from 7 to sOOO. It was also intended to convey the funds be longing to the Bank to the Capital. Unfortunately, hoWever, for those 'interested in the speculation, the people of Maranham had their eyes open, and hung back. The fact .also is, that a law 'ex ists, by which the circulating medium of one pro vince cannot be conveyed to another. The same proposal had also-been made to Bahia, Pernam buco, and'Ceara but had not been attended with better success.. The news from Portugal had e.x.- ,cited the greatest joy.in Maranham, and it was anxiously Wished and expected that a cordial union witli the Brazils' would take place, to-which' no impediment whateVer was anticipated, unless it was the intrigues Ofsonte of the persons who un happily still held an ascendancy over the King. The Perdambuco letters are dated the 27th of ?Nov. and state";. that Governor Rego had put an 'em bargo on the Port for all -vessels bound-to Portu ,gal, without waiting. for instructions from the Court. His late military excursion into the in terior, and - what had been termed the Bonito' af fair,'was highly ridiculed, for neat ly the whole Harrison had been put in motion under the plea Of attacking Insurgents, wilo, it turns out, .were :no other than a few miserable wretches, nearly starving with hunger. To sanction the operation at Court, a few oFthem had, l.aQwever, been seiz ed and shipped - Off for Rio.. The people at Per nambuco were eqUally elatedwith the news re ceived from Portugal; ' ' ' • [British liress] In the County of Kent', a Requisition,. very numerously and respectably' signed, had'been sent-to the High Sheriff, .to call a Meeting of the Freeholders, but this worthy Magistrate, - . no doubt anticipating the result of such a• Meeting, did not choose to sanction by his•presence a vote 'of censure upon :his friends in the . Cabinet, and declined to convene the Freeholders. This ,at tempt to controul the expression of the public voice. by a kind of magisterial preccnsorship, was not successful. The Freeholders were convened 14 severalOf the Justices of the Peace for the !'County; and•assernbled at Maidstone on Thurs day. A Resolution in condemnation of the Min:isters was proposed 'by the'Earl of Thanet, and seconded by Mr. flonywood, one of the ,County Members,' and,- as haS beeh uniformly the' case thrOngboat all parts of . the King. doer& _wherever- the . public sentiment could be fairly collected, it was enthusiastically adopted. The Earl 'of 'Darnley, in the course of, an able speech, alluded to the-distressed state of the agri culture of the. Country, and warmly contended .that unless - the ieer.ense pressure .of taxation were diminished, it was vain to hope for any arnetieration.in . the condition of the agricultural classes. Taxes are indeed,' as his Lordship oh served,' the root of the exiStiu:cr evil in .the state of the Country, for they control the exercise of intlui.try by firnitiri , the ernploy'rnent- of capital, and check the procruCtive- powers of the Courory by fettering our intercourse with Foreign States. The Addresg to the Queen, being adopted, Mr. lionyWood'proposed Petitions to the two Houses 'of Parlie.merit, - to interpose for - terminatin: 4 .-all proceediUgk against her Majesty. The lion, Illernber . 63narnented upon .the ungra cious tertninatiOri • - of last Session Parlia-' merit, when the Ministers advised their Sove reign not to thank his faithful Comjnons for the generous allowance they had made for the sup part of the Civil List. Ten words would have aved the dignity and respectability as well of the Crown as of Parliament, but not one word was vouchsafed. The Ministers have yet to an . - swer for this insult to the Great Councils of the nation. —amass-- [Morning Herald.]- This'evening, his Majesty is expected..to oar. rive at Carlton House Palace from the,Pavilion at. Brighton; every preparation being Made for his Majesty's reception ; and it is now ascertain ed that his Majesty will open the Parliament on Tuesday next; the Dike of MontiOse, the Master of the Horse, having received *orders to that effect but yesterday afternoon. [The Public • Ledger,] An article from Vienna, of 'tiie sth instant, an notinces the appointment of Baron - . Von ,Koller: as Commissary General of the. Army in Italy. and states, that the Count de Bombelle iioultic proceed on The Gth to Naples, by order of the. Austrian Emperor. The States of Darmstadt. had been adjourned from the 2d to the Still of January. Great ckissatisfaction had been ex-' pressed against that part of the kw which:places the ,Representation of the Catholic Bishop above the Protestant Prelates in the Chamber, as the Catholics of Darmstadt do not form sixth part of the population. -It appears by an article from Dusseldorf, that the Rhine near that city was frozen harder than has been for many years. - A - 111 ERIC A. BANK OF THE UNITED STATFS. The Nationta Intelligencer of the 11 Ui ult. con tains the following statement respecting the af fairs of the_ United States' Bank i " 4 A document was on Saturday transmitted to , the House of Representatives, in obedience to a Resolution of that House, which will he of par ticular interest to many of our Readers, and is so far of general interest, as the Country is in- . terested in the stability of the Bank of the United States; and as it has been, and will be, a source of revenue to the United States, though a-very un profitable concern, so far, for those who thought themselves fortunate in subscribing for the stock at its par value. It is the return made to the Treasury Department of the general statement of the Bank of the United States and its branches, l for November last s being the latest 'received. tending to publish the whole statement as soon as we can obtain a copy of it, its leading fea tures only will be the subject of the present no tice. The total amount of bills and notes dis -counted at tbe Bank and its Offices is 26,9421,389 dollars.—The bills of exchange, foreign and do mestic, are stated at 1,135,757 dollars. The amount of the funded debt of the United States (various) belonging to the Bank, is 9,157,601 dollars, besides 278,000 dollars of Louisiana, 54 per. cent. There is due from the State Banks, 2,625,996 dollars, and there is due to them 1,175,905 dollars. The deposits of the Trea surer of the United States are 847,706; those on account of public officers, 1,507,813 ; on ac count of individuals, 3,794,267 —making a total of 6,140,787 dollars. The -item of ' discount, !exchange, and interest,' is stated at 645,723 dol lars,'and that of profit and loss, and contingent interest,' is stated at 2,668,244 dollars. On the opposite side we find the debt front certain individuals in Baltimore stated at 1,510000 dol lars ; .the real estate, permanent expence and bonus,' at 1,393,247 dollars; deficieneles,'• at 310,445 dollars, and some smaller items.— ' The amount of specie on hand is very large, being 6,051,499 dollars, besides 671,000 dollars in a course of remittance or transmission. The amount :of bank and branch notes is stated at 11 . ,621,380 dollars, the amount thereof on hand at 6.295,992 dollars, leaving for the amount of notes in circu lation the difference between these , two sums. - The above, it will be observed, are particulars igathered. from the statements, a- general view of !the whole of which only can afford an accurate !idea of the business and state of the Bank."

The.great difference on this head between. the, Bishop of Peterborough and his adversary, ist chiefly upon.the Title, which the one c,ontens to; take place at Baptism, and the other at any period! of our lives, or with some at no period, or perhaps i even so late as their death-bed. Now aegeneration is nothing more than a li tern]. Latin translation of a G . reek word, signify ing the new birth which begins at Baptism as spi-! ritually, as the Other With does naturally, from' the moment we are born. It is an expression but once used in Scripturp. Whene'ver it is used, it is always in the Bishop':, sense, as well in Scripture as in the Articles and offices of our Church, except when it can' have! no concern With our arg,tunent, and ,that is.in the, celebrated passage, where St. Paul says, that God. has saved us by the. Layer of Regeneration, which evidently must be another wordjor Baptism, for there 'is nothing beside Baptism. to hich this' term washing can possibly apply. Even Austin, wimis the. great model and standH and of our Adversary's opinion, by •his own ad mission was obli,ged ,to confess, that ,Baptism was the '.saute. as Regeneration. cc He made a dis-, tinction between the Regenerate in -general, and the elect regenerate,7.Perfectly coinciding.in.sen timent with our Churoh, that the Regenerate might fall from grace, but tlit,there were others, who having :been regenerated by Baptism, carried on that first element of the Christian Grace into life; and continued to the end, .allowing for the .variations of human infirmity, in the: right way ; never openly rebelling against the principles of. 'iruth and Light, :they forfeited not their title to Redemption, and may thus far hope to enter into the joys of the elder SOTI, WhO Was always with the Father, and all that be bad was -His. Regeneration, in this sense, every one must confeSs fo be a blessing. ' but it is c Ja, that in. the' former instance, when cG men 'are certainly to fall, it is rather a Curse, and therefore incon sistent with the Covenaiq of ppce." But the same objection will apply to the light of the Gospel itself; which is, sent forth to shine in' the world, but to those that will not receive it, is only the greater darkness.--Surely it is a bless ing to behold that light, to those who will enjoy it, and to those- that will not, the fault is theirs, -as theirs, will be the condemnation. It is a hap piness to know the Master 7 s to those wtib have the heart and mind -to perform it, notwith standing those Who have it not are beaten, and deservedly beaten- with many stripes. So strona; indeed, is St. Austin, on the coinci dence of 'ae.geneiatlon with ' Baptisni; _ that he scruples not to assert,-" from the infant even to the decrepid old pan, as no one is to be pro hibited from Baptism, so there is no one who does not die unto sin in Baptism, but infants die only to original sin, adults to all their sins." • • And •indeed the same coincidence is as clearly marked in all The writings of-the early Fathers, and in the Articles and offices of our C:hurch, in proof of which it would be an insult to the me mory of any who had read them, even in the slightest manner,•to multiply quotations. Our very Catechism, if we knew nothing. else, would inform as, that Baptism is a death unto sin, and a new. birth unto righteousness." At this ceremony, as in the first age, we are born of Water awl of the Spirit; the one the sign as most appropriate of purification, the other the purification itself and the thing'signitied, which from that moment begins to operate within u. 4, and if not restrained in its operation •by the dis order of our evil lusts, will purify , us for the Kingdom of God; so, that thou,gh we were by nature born in sin and the children of wrath, and therefore at certain less_ propitious seasons " the infection of that nature yet remains even ,with the regenerate," we shall, by the influence of this divine principle, be " made, the Children of Grace." • . . . On this account, the Bishop proposes the 2d and following, question in this cap.,, at which our adversary is more than usually indignant, calling the 2d," a Popish crucible which vOlatilizes,~ aril the vital spirit of the Church doctrines, dissipateS their preciousingredients, and leaves , nothing but death—a caplet . nt ()Mawr behind iind• the Bth question actually makes him fear and tremble, as if, at its sound, the Church were shaking tol her very foundations ; and rather than subscribe to this, he advises the pious:Candidate •" to cat', off his right hand and enter maimed into life."— ! And, after all this violence of inVeCtive; What is .there in these questions that is not completely •agreeable to the doctrines of our Church; and directly opposed .to that Church to which his Lordship has ever been a. most determined adversary, both in the Senate and : the, Rress 3 which abound with his Sentim. etas expressed , in as strong languageagainsthersuperstitioustenets as against those Of the - particular sect which af fects to be so indignant at the very thought of • Popery, bitt yet in many of its modes of:6oop* if not in opinion itself, bears no little' resemblance, as has been often. shewn,.more particularly in Bishop Lavington's Comparison, which I Would recomrnen(l to all who wish to study_their Oa, racters,• and ..to confirm the • observation of .exile= .rience, that all superstitions, whatever different forms they may assume, betray, if knot in every feature, at least •in the general air and counte nance, a very strong family likeneSs.. . _ " Facies r4on rimnibus tura, " Nec diver sa tainco, (paten] decet esse sororurn."• . To return from this digres.sloh, ikl.w i h I l.c.. I ne ver shoul=l have indulged, if the extreme violence of our adversary.,had not called it forth. Inan sw er to his invective. 1 'will introduce no less an authority than the Bishop himself, , whom. I am happy to have recourse to; not because I think the danger so. great, as to seek refuge under the shield of Ajax,; or the objection so 'insupe.: rahle, even - by.. my own power, as to be a 4 dignus vindice nodes ;"•but • because I am glad of the opportunity of referring to thoe lec tures_wbich were.listenedto with so: much rap ture in the most crowded asiembly at the Univer sity of Cambridge, and are, now that they are 12411410, the theme . ot admiration-to all the real judges of , theologicat learning. • The following quotation from them, I am happy•to.give, as it provos •the perfect harmony of his Lordship in . these questions with himself on forrrur occas,tons;,and as it is the very best of all.possil?le answers to •the present objection to the doctrine of the Bishop, , : as.a Popish doctrine, that.regener t ation,takes -place at baptism, and at no other .peripd, I shall not,scruple to give his ocA n words,. at full lqngth,as c his argument so en tirely cuts the Gordian li,not, as not• to leave one thread Of union, .the 'whole of this.impe tuous chapter of adversary at once falls in pieu s,to the grOlind. His Lordship tis refuting the pretence Of those who accuse Ivith this opponent—" of imi tating tine Church of ,Ronn,‘, in believing that Grace is conferKA at Baptism merely ex opere °pc/Ty°. The Grace of. God accompanies the outward act ; but the outward act is not the effi cient cause of it. The 27th Article compares, indeed, Baptism with an instrument, by which the promises of God to forgive our sins are visi bly 'signed and sealed ; but not to mention that in every legal -instrument the signing and the sealing . is accompanied with the declaration of its being our own act and deed, and that this mental assort •is •the thing which gives force to the 'signature and the seal, the comparison ict question is limited by the very :words of the Ar-. `Cele to those who " receive. Baptism rightly and Baptism, according to the general rules of our Church, is not received rightly, unless either by ourselves or our sureties we make professions of repentance and faith (and which he goes ou from the Formularies of our Church to prove)"; that repentance an faith, so expressed, are the causes which operate in prolucing that spiritual grace which is eb nfer re d at Baptism (and from the 25th and 29th Article he proves most satis factorily), that though each of our Sacra ments has its own external token. yet in both of them are the acts of, the mind acnowledgments of repentance and faith: Unless, therefore, it is superstition to believe that the, Grace of God accompanies repentance and faith, there is no superstition in believing that the Grace -of God accompanies one Sacrament as well as the other ; and since that peculiar Grace, which is railed Regeneration, is a Grace which is conferred only once in our lives, the Sacrament, which we re ceive only once in our. lives, and which then admits us to the Christian Covenant, would ap pear to be the appointed means of conferring that Grace, even if St. Paul had not declared it." But that St. Paul has declar(l it - cannotadmit,* doubt, from what we before quoted of his Lord ship on this head. It is strangf., therefore, that such efrorts should now be- made to detach Rec;enera6ou from Baptism, though we must acknowiedee that, in the estimation of those who make suck., efforts, the separation is highly useful. For as soon as'Regefieration is detached from 13apti.,tri, it may I l e employed on other occasions; it may" be made. the instrument of conversion at a later age, and thus the pangs of the new birth Intl become tokens of admission to that holy state, which the converts are taught to el;pect iti -iiil frOrr. a Sacrament depriv.ecl..£ its spiiittir 6 ' But strange as this doctrine may appear. it is yet mote strange that men should detach Re generation from and still pretend to be Chueclttnen. There is no possible ATtitice di high the If ords of our Baptismal Ser% ice caa be distorted. from their real meaning. l In the words of our 'public Baptism of Itift;ntst .he Priest says, immediately after_ the haptiva is completed, " seeing now, that this child is laf baptistif' regenerate;" and in the tbanLsgivinX which immediately. follows ; 44 we yield thee hearty thanks most merciful father, that it bath pleased thee to regenerate this infant ‘l,i-th thy Holy Spirit." Unless, therefore, the expres'' sion " if bath pleased" is synommous with shall please God to regenerate,---" unless the past is-the same with the future, it is impossible, to deny that they Who wilfully and deliberately detach Regeneration from Baptism impugn esseit-• tially the doctrine of our Established Ch ur ch, inasmuch as they impugn it in one of our Holy Sacraments."
