THE MEANS ,SOVEREIGNS NOW HAVE OF RENDERING, THEIR STATES INDEPENDENT. - Ist. Every Potentate in--Europe has the power, st - the present expected Peace, of rendering hirri, . self independent Of,the Pope, whose authority has t vet been deemed inferior to the decrees or Ge neral Counc;is ; the.infallibility of 'the latter the Roman Catholics never doubted, though that of the Pope they have, and particularly the Freneh. Tie Popes have at all times been afraid of Ge neral Councils, and therefore , endeavoured to render their decrees nugatory, by gaining a ma jority by means of their numerous Italian BiShops, and this in defiance of - the protests of _ the most bigotted Sovereigns, Philip the 2d of Spain, Bc.c. and of the Court of ,Fiance, the latter of whom forbid the Decrees of the` Corincil of Trent being published in the French dominions. 2d. If - the bigotted Kings in the dark ages re volted at the usurpations of the Church of Rome, what Must the present enlightened age think, if the Emperors and Kings of Ea r ope:do not make themselves Supreme 'Heads of the Church in their several. States, at a General Peace, referring henceforth all circumstances relative to the to-. Irian Catholic Religion to a: General Council ? _ 3d. The present, Pope cannot, say that Ms an-- thot ity is superior tc.) the ,D.ccrees of a general Council, because the Canons of the, Church de= ,clare the contrary. Therefore, a, reference to a General Council in future,cannot abridge the power .of the present Pope, who, as yet, never' had any power, nor ought he ever to have any., but only to have a pension settled on himself and his Cardinals for life. If any Cardinal dies, a stiec:essor is not to, be appointed. the Col lege will become extinct; nor should any other Pope after the present-be ,cbosen... Those acting contrary to these articles to suffer.death or impri sonment for life. For..thesame rea.on, the tem poral.dorninions of the Tope ~Ought never to be restore 1. „ 4tl. If there does not exist , a. Pope, there can be no - Ecclesiastical - power in any State, iude-, pendent of the Supreme Civil Magistrate , whe ther that is an Emperor or. King, or of any other denomination in a republic. 6th. One State cannot interfere in the religious afluirs of-another, nor will there be any foreign. power that can. This (as universat . toleration now allowed) will ensure religious peace for ,ever lip EUrope. A power' to act otherwise is the curse, of AI :civil 'society, .and most. destructive-of',hu- Oran happiness: It will be folly in the extreme tint to - settle this permanently at a 'General Con gress for Peace. 6th. Every state- naturally chuses .what form of government it prefers but tti,ere is an axiom, " That what is gained in the extent is lost in thp stability of regal power:" Great Britain is an in stance of this, who alone- has twice withstood the whole power or Europe, from the,affection every Briton bas to the free constitution of his country, and which they deemed worth fighting for, and has prevented- its conquest, as Prussia, Austria, &c. have been,- and bas enabled Great' Britain to set a noble • example to the rest ..of Europe,• and has ultimately emancipated the world from' the tyranny of France, and this blessing the Allies will no doubt secure at a general 'Peace, and which every country is interested in the preservation' of. Here it may not be amiss to state, that. Ambassadors horn Foreign States were considered by Frederic the Great as • himian beings, and subject to . pas sions as well as other men ; , -and as their prOfes sion obliges thent•to dissemble and stifle their re-: sentments, where an opportanity offers, their irritability at times is in , a ratio to the violence offered to their feelings by its occasional suppres— sion. They then (according to the Great Fre deric) are too apt' to .make their own private' pipes the quarrels of their f:onntry ; and war is tie consequence, which better_men woad have avoided. It is not possible by umpires to .avoid these occasions for war, and, thereby prevent the desolation of the globe. TO THE ilntrolt OF Tilt ,SUN.

LEOMINSTER, MARCH 16.—A dreadful accident occurred in this town yesterday-evening, : by the falling of ',a floor over the kitchen of 4r: John Wynde, a respectable maltster and merchant.— The floor, .:it appears, w;.l loaded with a large , quantity. of wheat, but not being properly se cured, some of the timbers gave way, and the iyhole was instantaneously precipitated!' throngli a iccond floor',-into the kitchen, Where Mrs.Wynile; her aunt, four children:and two female servants, were sitting.' - -An alarm being 'immediately given bly a man-servant, who happened fortunately to cseaPe," though buried nearly -breast high,. the most prompt assistance was afforded - , andilin less 'than -half ati hour the whole were.dug °tit ;:the three younger children Were dead !tom' suffoca tion, and the two 'servants from violentOoniusions and fractures 'on their heads; every exertion Was 'wade by a number of medical men, tvha werescion upon the spot, to restore animatidn, bat without effect. Mrs. Wynde, her aunt, and .the eldest daughter, miraculously escaped death„ the aunt and.diughter being in an upright sitto.tion; Covered about breast high with fallen •timbers, brick§, and grain. - Mrs. Wynde vas the last that was diseoqred (except the two servants)' upon the floor, under the whole of therubbish, and by proper exertions, was scion „recovered ; but her immediate inquiries ,about the children, .and . her Jamentations when informed of the fate of her family, were heart-rending beyond, description. Indeed such a truly distre4sing scene was-scarcely ever witnessed. .Me,•Wyncle, who had been sub pcenaed to Worcester Assizes,- arrived`this lng• by express, and those who are husbands and parents m4y feel, but cannot. describe, his tuation—berett in an. instant ofcitearly the whole cf his family !„ At the.late'Assizes for the County of Bucks, Mary Hughes was found guilty of manslaughter, in killing and slaying William Meats, at the parish of Eton, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. The circumstances of this ca - se were as follow : The lad, in whose death Mary Hughes was impli cated; was a son of Mr; Meats, one of the King's Messengers. Being very deficient in intellect, he was placed under the care of this woman, a refation, with a weekly salary of thirteen shillings. She had long. been,iu the habit of treating him with much cruelty, and during the present severe winter, the boy was known by the ,neighbours, to have slept upon straw, and was thought to have been nearly,starved, On .Saturday,. February 26, she was seen to ',beat biru.severely with a large stick. On Friday the 4th,of March, the boy died, and in consequence of -the suspicion' attached to MaryHuglies, the High Constable was applied to, who' sent for a surgeon, ,by whom the body was examined ; he pronounced that the boy had died of the bruises which he had -re ceived ; his eyes were black, not from the ,effect of actual blows on them, but from injuries in other parts of the head. The Coroner was, therefore, applied to,-and the Jury summoned on the occa... sign brought in a verdict of manslaughter, against Mrs. Hughes, whO was in consequence taken into custody, and conveyed td Aylesbury.. The popu lar rage was so great. on her removal, that she was pelted with every thing that could be pro cured. The Grand Jury tound a bill of wilful murder, but she was convicted df manslaughter. A singular circumstance occurred last week at tlue Huntingdon Assizes : two women appeared as witnesses, to charge a poor girl with grand larceny, who was no sooner acquitted, than a discovery was made that the perjured wretches were themselves the perpetrators of the robbery, on which • they were immediately secured, tried the next day be fore Mr. Justice HEATH, capitally convicted, and now reulain under sentence of death., Sir Joi,/ SINCLAIR, Bart. has signifietlhis in tention of resigning the Presidency of the Bard of Agriculture, previously to the annual .election of its officers.

On Thursday morning the warehouse of Mr. G. Harrison, at the cornier of Honduras-street, oa street, was ,broken open, by some villains, who stole 32 realms of paper frotn ,one. of the lofts.—. The door of the warehouse being extremely strong, and the % - vindorrs barred, ,the thieves dug a hole under the door, large enough to admit a child, who•was in all probability pit in for the purpose of pushing back a bolt, that vas the chief obstacle' to the enterprise- They escaped with the paper, after having scattered about the warehouse every thing that was useless to them., • - • ' On Monday, as Mr. Wrin.

Mr. Potehet had been at Kevinfr ham on 'business, and returned about a quarter of an hOur after the robbery bad been committed. On the evening of Friday . se'nnig.ht, about seven o'clock, an old man was attacked in St. Enoch-square, _GlaSgow, immediately behind the church, by three fellows, who,knocked him down, by giving him several blows on the face, and after wards robbed him of his money and stripped him of his -boots and stockings while endeavour ing to get off his great coat, a young :Lady passing heard his_ grOans, and ran to his' assistance (sup, posing he had fallen). On her arriving near the place, she saw- the fellims pulling off his.coat but they immediately - ran away, taking With them Ins money, his boots , and stockings.
