EDITOR—As we are threatened, in the course of the Session, with a renewed attempt to give legislative 'power to Roman Catholics, I wish to submit a few short propositions, no matter whence takeo, to the serious and deliberate con sideration of all Protestants, particularly Legis lators. The first Proposition may seem perhaps to concede too much, but it is the true foundation of our own Church. It chews too that no bigotted view of the subject is here taken, and explains why Protestants wish only to reform the Church of Rome, not to destroy it ; while the sixth ex plains why every sincere Member of that Church must desire and seek the destructio❑ of the whole Protestant System. PROPOSITIONS. I. The Church of Rome is a true Church in its fundamental doctrines ; and in many of its ordinances truly Christian. 11. But it has, in the progress of time, admitted many cor ruptions, founded on tradition, and other insufficient authori ties; the effect of which is to render it an imperfect and inse- cure guide to salvation. Il 1. The Protestant Church, particularly that of England, by retaining all the sound parts of the ancient doctrine, and rejecting all corrupt additions, has restored (as far as was pos sible at so remote a period) the primitive and truly Christian System of doctrine and discipline. IV. But the Church of Rome, by its highest authorities, has repeatedly sanctioned all its corruptions, to the fullest ex tent, and declared them essential parts of Christian faith and practice. • V. That Church consequently, without reserve, condemns and anathematizes every reformed Church, as having departed from the true faith, and become impious and heretical. VI. It follows, that every sincere member of the Church of Rome, in proportion to his zeal for what he deems the will of God, and his regard for the souls of men, must esteem it a duty to oppose and undermine the reformed Churches, by all means in his power. VII. A Roman Catholic Legislator, therefore, in a Protes tant State, must feel it his indispensable duty to employ the power and influence arising from that office, as much as possi ble, to weaken and subvert the Protestant establishment. VIII. The Protestant members of the same legislature, per ceiving or suspecting that disposition, must, if they are honest, exert their utmost power and influence to counteract it. IX. Hence will, of necessity, arise a division of counsels on some of the most important topics of legislation, and a con tention and counteraction totally inconsistent with political har mony and the public good. X. The discord thus generated in the source of political power will descend through all the gradations of society, in creasing in violence, as it always does, when it comes to act upon the passions of the multitude. XI. The admission of Roman Catholics, therefore, into the legislature, so far from being a measure of peace and union, must prove an inexhaustible source of the most dangerous dis union and contention. XII. Their exclusion from it, therefore, is not a measure of harshness or vexation, but a necessary provision of self-de fence on the part of Protestants, which they lament, while they are compelled to act upon it. XIII. But they feel that it would be a gross absurdity to admit to equal power persons who must employ their portion of it to the subversion of the other. XIV. Whatever amends can be made to their Roman Ca tholic Brethren for this unavoidable restriction, by the amplest toleration and co-operation in other points. Protestants are abundantly ready to allow and grant. Whoever can refute these propositions will make a considerable step towards advocating what the friends of the measure are humourously pleased to call Emancipation; but we should rather term INVASION.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESD,IY, APRIL 10, 1822. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday, from which we give extracts in a pre ceding column. They contain no decisive in formation of the actual commencement of hosti lities, but furnish further details respecting the rejection of the Ultimatum, which leave no doubt that all negotiation is at an end, and that Turkey and Russia will have immediate recourse to aims.—The Budget was further discussed in th e French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, but the discussion presents nothing worthy of remark. Ilamburgh Papers to the 2d instant have also arrived, our extracts from which will be found under the head of Foreign Intelligence. The Message from the PREsinnsT of the United States is a specimen of American policy that cannot excite much surprise, as it is entirely consistent with the American character ; and the wonder is that the measure recommended to Congress of recognizing the independence of the revolted Spanish Colonies was not acted upon before. Surely, professing a respect for the Go vernment of the Mother Country, it would have been consistent with good faith and national dig nity to suffer Spain to have the grace of taking the lead in such recognition; Lut a view to commercial interests has evidetnly been the operative principle of the proposed measure. The conduct of the Spanish Government at home has been weak in the extreme. Spain ought to have seen that it would be impossible to make those revolted Colonies re turn to their allegiance, and therefore the sooner it resorted to pacific negociations the sooner would it get rid of an expensive and hopeless war fare, and establish a commercial and friendly in tercourse on both sides. It has been justly said that Spain has some time been a mere nullity on the American continent, and the cession of the Floridas was a proof that the attempt to recover its former importance would have been as absurd as hopeless.—Spain, therefore, ought to have taken the lead in acknowledging the independence of those insurgents, whose allegiance it was impossible to. recover.—lt may be said that the proposition in ques tion has not yet been sanctioned by Congress ; but it would be ridiculous to suppose that the President would propose a measure which he had not reason to know would be admitted and confirmed by the Legislative Body.—The mea sure, therefore, may be considered as having been adopted by the American Government. It now re mains to consider what should be the conduct of the British Government, and that common sense manifestly points out. There is no necessity for an immediate• recognition of the indepen dence of the revolted Spanish Colonies, as the parent state cannot but see at last that it is a measure which it must itself adopt ; but we may shew an amicable disposition towards those Co lonies, and immediately give all possible facility to commercial enterprize from this country.— Hence our manufacturers will be set into active and profitable employment, and their welfare will necessarily benefit every other class of the peo ple, and rapidly lead the to restoration of na tional peace and prosperity. [From the New York Papers received yesterday.[ His Excellency M. de NEUVILLE, Minister from Trance (says the Washington Gazette), is about to return to Europe, we believe to Lisbon, to fill the appointment (accepted prior to his special mission to the United States) of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Petersburgh. In the mean time we learn that the duties of Charge des Affaires will, be committed to M. de MENOW, of the present Legation. PlRATES.—Captain JONES, arrived at Boston in 13 days from Matanzas, informs, that on the 14th February the Governor sent out two de tachments of soldiers, one towards Point Esun dido, and the other towards Yeacos, to search for pirates. On the 15th the soldiers sent to Esundido returned with four pirates, having killed and wounded seven, and captured one of their boats. On the 16th the detachment sent to Point Ycacos returned with thirteen pirates, having killed one. s is in :al or L vital ditiori It i s • r the dence he in- ration ent of II the R.

The news received by those from Gottenburgh and liarnburgh were anticipated by the Dutch mail which came to hand yesterday, and the Frencb.letters are not later than those received last night by a private channel.—The Consols opened at 78 to 79, and there was much bustle on the Stock Exchange during the day. A very eminent broker sold very largely, and reduced the prices to 73 g, but they afterwards recovered them ' selves, until the Courier came into the City, when they again declined and finally closed at 78 3 a 781. In foreign securi ties scarcely a sale can be effected ; and no price is quoted for the French Itentes. The Spanish bonds are offered at 651. The Prussian stock has also declined to 85,i, and the Neapoli tan finds no demand at 66 a 67. Should any interruption take place in the trade betwixt Odessa and the Mediterranean, there is some chance of a demand taking place for bonded grain, and prices were consequently held dearer yesterday in Mark-lane for foreign wheat, in expectation of this event.—The course of post front Paris would bring letters dated on Sunday, which is a sufficient reason why no private advices have been received here this day from that city.—( Morning Chronicle.) BURNING FARM-OFFICES.--At the Suffolk As sizes, last week, three trials came on for offences originating in that spirit of outrage which has unhappily arisen in some of the farming districts of this country. The first of these cases was the arraignment of John, alias Richard, Roper, for having set fire to and burned down a barn and other out-houses, belonging to the Rev. 11. HILL, and others, at Buxhall, on the 29th of December. This prisoner was acquitted. The next case was that of William Peters, charged with having set fire to a stable, and other premises, the pro perty of the Rev.W.BnTuAm, of Stonham Aspal, on the 7th ult. It appeared that there had been two fires on the prosecutor's premises, one on the 28th of February, and the other on the 7th of March. The prisoHer's conduct, on both occasions, had been most extraordinary and sus picious ; and ho had even foretold that the fires were to take place. lie was, however, acquitted. IPilliam Aldou,s, the third prisoner, was charged with having, on the 6th of February, set fire to and burned the barn, stable, and other outbuild ings of Mr. WILLIAM DAVY, of Stradbrook. This prisoner was only 17 years of age. He was found guilty, and left for execution. The Bury Gazette, received this morning, quotes the article in our Paper of Saturday last respecting the disturbances near Ipswich ; and adds, " We can form a very shrewd guess respecting the contri butor of the above remarks ; and if our- conjec ture be correct as to the person, he is a man of as sound a judgment, and possessed of means of in. formation as extensive as any in the county."— The Editor of the Bury Paper then goes on to strengthen the statements of our Correspondent, and affirms that there is a regular communica tion kept up between the Irish Whiteboys and the disaffected in England and Scot land. —On Friday last, twelve men were committed to Norwich Castle, charged with breaking a thrashing machine, on the premises of Mr. ROE, at Woodton. Six others were also charged with the same offence, but were ad mitted to bail. Two more were admitted as evidence. On bringing the prisoners to Bungay last Thursday for examination, a riot and attempt at rescue ensued on the part of a great concourse of peasantry, chiefly armed with bludgeons.— Military assistance having however been obtained, the prisoners were secured. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—The new Comic Opera, brought forward last night under the title of 11 due Pretendenti delusi (The two Suitors deceived) was very well received, and several of the. songs were encored. The plot is simply as follows : Emilia is the ward of Andronico, who.proposes as her husband Procopio, an old misers The wife Of - Andronico, anxious for title, proposes Faust°, a man of rank. Emilia prefers Edo ardJ, an officer. She alarms the other suitors successively, by representing to the miser her taste for extravagance, and to the man of fashion her love of retirement. She finally marries the Officer. The music is said to be composed by MOSCA, a Neapolitan. The piece derived great advan tage from DE BEGNJS, and his beautiful wife, Roxzt,PLAcct,CuttioNx,and Signora GRAZIANI, and the Opera was altogether so well received by a very numerous audience as to promise many successful repetitions. DauttY-LANE.----The Comedy of A Cure for the Heart-Ache was represented at this Theatre last night. ELLISTON was all spirit and hustle in Young Rapid, and AIuNDEN maintained all his former excellence in Old Rapid. GATTIE'S Nabob was respectable. Mrs. ORGEIt entered with spi rit into the character of Miss Vortex; and Miss COPELAND, who appeared for the first time in Jesse Outlands, rendered the part interesting and affecting. The Afterpiece of Almoran and Hamel went off more smoothly in its mechanism, and experienced a very favourable reception. COVENT-GARDEN.—The new Melo-drama of Cherry and Fair Star was repeated last night with confirmed success. It is really altogether a very splendid and striking composition. HIS MAJESTY.—The KING is expected at Carlton House on this day se'nnight ; and it is supposed will remain in town till the first week in May. His MAJESTY will then proceed to the Cottage on Windsor Forest for a month. Lord CLANCARTY has arrived in town. He makes but a short stay, and then goes to Ireland. When his Lordship left , the Hague, it was uni versally believed there that his BRITANNIC MA JESTY would visit the Netherlands and Holland in the summer. It is well known that one of the candidates for the office of Common Sergeant had the pre sumption, the indecency, and much heavier terms might be applied to his conduct, to compare our present Monarch with Nero, the most profligate, cruel, and unnatural tyrant that ever disgraced a throne. Indelible discredit will, therefore, for ever stigmatize the great City of London, if the person in question should be suffered to obtain any of its official honours. Mr. HustE says nothing is more easy than to talk of the wants of England; but he owns that his native wants are inexpressibles! Private letters from Paris mention, that a certain crazy Ba ronet, who lately arrived in that capital, has been ordered to depart in 15 days. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 7.—The 44th Regiment of Foot landed here this day from Dublin, and are ordered to Chatham, to embark for India. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.-At a meeting of the Parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-garden, in vestry, yesterday, fbr the election of a Churchwarden, Mr. Vockney was propo se d by Mr. Corder, and Mr. Wetherfield by Mr. Ifernell. The shew of hands was decidedly in favour of the former, but a Poll was demanded by the friends of the latter, which forthwith corn menced„ At the close, five o'clock, the numbers were, for Mr. Yockney - - - 112 Mr. Wetherfield - - 77 Majority - - - —35 The Poll was to close this day. A stratum of coal has been found on Tidenham Chase, bor dering on the Forest of Dean, in this county, which is likely to laird an abundant supply to that district —A lead mine is also discovered on Gallows-hill, about a ooarter of a mile S. W. of Chepstow. The miners are now working in the coal and lead works.—( Gloucester Journal. April 8.) GERMAN RonnEßs.—Three German robbers having acquired, by various atrocities, what amounted to a valuable booty, they agreed to divide, the spoil, and to retire from so dangerous a vocation. When the day arrived which they had appointed for that purpose, one of them was dispatched to a neighbor: inn town, to purchase provisions for their last carousal. The other two secretly agreed to murder him on his return, that each might come in for half the plunder, instead of one third. They did so; but the murdered man was a closer calcu lator than his assassins, for he had previously poisoned part of the provisions, in order that he might appropriate the whole of the spoil to himself. The triumvirate of worthies were found dead together. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-Mr. Hawkins, a traveller, in Stan hope-street, was robbed on Monday evening, returning from Oakingham to Hatchet-lane, Berks, of 221. and some silver, his watch, and several bills of exchange. He was travelling in his gig near Warfield, when a person on horseback in quired the road to Windsor, and joined company at his pace to the cross roads to Hatchet-lane and Wingfield-plain, when two fellows in smock-frocks stopped the chaise and ransacked it, assisted by the horseman. They resorted to the usual plan of cutting the harness to prevent pursuit, and made off into Windsor Forest. THE MURDER OF lints.• DoNATTY.—The Ma gistrates of Hatton-garden Police-office yesterday received a letter from the Governor of Horse monger-lane jail, in consequence of private in formation, charging a man in that prison with the above named horrid murder. The person charged was apprehended on the Monday after the murder, for a burglary committed by him some time before in the county of Surrey, for which offence he ha 3 been tried at the last Sur rey Assizes, and capitally convicted. One of the Magistrates, accompanied by some police offi cers, repaired to the prison, where a private ex amination took place; but what transpired in the present state of the case was floc suffered to be made public. 1 3C , e11a.4 0 re iv,: . . _ FASHIONABLE ARMVALS.

Lord Belgrave entertained another distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at his house, Grosvenor-square. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are entertaining, during the holidays, at Hatfield-house, a large Party. BRIGHTON, APRIL 8. The weather to-day has been favourable for the season, but cool, at intervals windy, and with flying showers. The KING has confined his exercise to walks on the Palace Lawn, but the Royal suite have enjoyed sociabilities in public. Nobility, as eques trians, were spore numerous on the rides from two to four o'clock, than we had beheld them for many weeks previously ; in one distinguished group, their horses at nearly full speed, on the Level, we beheld The Ladle's Paget, the Countess Cowper, and other elegant females, attended by the Dukes of 'Wellington and Dorset ; Lords F. Gower, and Cowper, &c. in number more than ex ceeding twenty, and with that cheerfulness of manner which good health and agreeable association only ran bestow. The Duke of Wellington has inspected the 10th Royal Hus sars to-day. The Earl and Countess Bathurst and Sir William Curtis had the honour of dining with the King and suite to-day. The Royal party has since been increased by— Lord and Lndy Cowper, the Ladies Bathurst, Lady G. Len nox, Lady Euston, Lord and t ady Grantham, Lord Sandon, Mr. Lady C. and Miss Grevelle, and Mr. Lamb. The grand suite of apartments are all brilliantly illuminated. Music con stitutes the leading feature of the entertainment. The King will leave us for Carlton Palace on the 17th or 18th. Lord Selsea, from Wisdean House, left his name at the Pa. lace this morning ; his Lordship alighted at the York Hotel, but his stay is expected to be short. There have been neither Pavi. - tsm arrivals nor departures since our last report. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bute are returned to this place. Prince Lobkowitz, the Earl of Buckinghamshire, the Earl of Glengall, and Lady H. Butler, are continuing their sojourn at the Royal York Hotel. Sunday, being Easter Sunday, the Service was augmented by . the assistance of his Majesty's band, the same as on the oc casion of the consecration of the Chapel. Mr. J. B. Sale sung " The trumpet shall sound," accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Schmidt ; Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Knyvett sung the duet, "0 ! Death where is thy sting ?" Master Gear sung, " But _thou didst not leave his soul in hell :" the conclusion was the " Hallelujah Chorus." The prayers were read by the Dean of Hereford; the sermon by Dr. Pearson. There is no truth in the report of the Duke of Dons Er's being about to enter into the holy state of matrimony. EASTER TUESDAY.—MANSION-1101;SE. The Christ's Hospital and Bridewell Boys, between six and seven hundred in number, were admitted yesterday to the Mansion-House, according to annual custom, to see the Egyptian Hall, the Ball-room, and other State Apartments, with the ornaments and decorations as fitted up for the Grand Fete given on the preceding day. They walked with their Masters, Beadles, and Nurses through all the apartments, with which th e y were highly gratified ; after which they passed through the Grand Saloon, where the Lord Mayor, several Aldermen, the Sheriffs. • Chamberlain, and the Lady Mayoress, and many other Ladies, were sitting. On passing in rotation each boy, according to ancient custom, received from the hands of the Lord Nlayor a' shilling or sixpence, according to their respective merits, with a bun and a glass of wine to drink his Lordship's health.— After this ceremony was over, his Lordship, the Aldermen, Sheriffs, &c. retired to the Venetian parlour, where they par- took of an elegant cold collation, and afterwards proceeded in State to Christ Church, Newgaie-street, to hear the Spital Sermon, which was preached by the Very Reverend Dean Goddard.

Oh ! cease, and never sing again (Or not to me) that mournful strain ; For round my heart its echoes roll'd All the pangs I felt of old : Waked the thought of prospects blighted, Friends too long, too well believed, Fond affections unrequited, Faults and follies unretrieved : Waked regret and shame in me, Who on a reckless idol's shrine, With passionate prodigality, Cast a heart so warm as mine. Sad they spoke—oh, vainly check'd, Pours a flood of bittter tears ; For health departed, spirits wreck'd, And aimless life's declining years, Spoke of all I've borne to prove— All hopeless, fruitless, thankless still ! The long devotion of a ove Time cannot cure, nor absence chill. Then wonder not if I implore To hear those touching sounds no more: I should not weep to this excess, Did my heart own their sweetness less. CONGREVE ROCKETS.—A novel and interest ing spectacle was exhibited on Monday to many of our citi zens. The owners of the whale-fishing vessels Eliza Swan, Monarch, and Hero, having procured a quantity of Congreve Rockets to be used in the fishery, a trial was made with some of them, in the forenoon, at the mouth of the river, and, making due allowance for their being quite a new thing to the person using them, those acquainted with the na ture of the fishing seemed convinced of their proving effectual for the purpose intended. In order to make the experiment on the proper element, it was agreed to fire some of them from a boat, at a barrel anchored at some distance ; and at four in the afternoon, a number of persdn's assembled on the bridge, and the neighbourhood, to witness this additional trial, which was made in the river above the bridge. The rockets were discharged from a long tube, somewhat resembling a musket, but of much larger dimensions : they were fired off by the Captains of the respective vessels. Two of them fell short of the mark, from the guns being levelled too low. The other two were fired by Capt. ALEX. YOUNG, of the Monarch ; one of these passed very near the barrel, and went to a consider able distance almost on a level with the surface of the water. The other rocket went right through the centre of time barrel, rebounded from it to a great height, and exploded in the air.— It seemed the general opinion, that when the great magnitude of the whale is considered, and their allowing the boats to ap proach within a short distance of them, success was highly probable. It is dear, that if a rocket fixes and explodes with. in a whale, immediate death must be the consequence, as no animal, however huge in bulk, could withstand the tremendous effects of these engines of dastruction.

DISCOVERY OF ANTIQUITIES. • GENEVA.--The discovery of several antiquities recently made in our neighbourhood is interesting. On Monday, the 26th of November, Laurent Desmarets, a miller of Crassi, on the little river Syon, at St. Genic, and his work man Pierre Dunant, found several objects of antiquity, which they brought to me two days after. On the Thursday I went to the spot with Professor Gander, and the following are the parti culars which we collected, after having caused the ground to be again dug up and examined in our presence. Laurent Desma rets intending to level his garden, had removed the earth on one side to the depth of about a foot, and having worked with a pick axe on the same side, near his mill and the high road, he found at the depth of ten or twelve inches a wall of stones and red bricks, of which I have brought away some fragments, and of mortar much decomposed. lii this wall there was a kind of vase or pot of copper in a very bad condition, and in this pot a wrapper composed of two plates of silver joined together by a great number of very small silver nails. This wrapper con tained— 1. A Patera of silver, with ornaments on the handle, and a kind of carved lid, the whole weighing nine ounces. On this lid are the words " Victor and Regina," rudely traced with a metal point. 2. Two women's necklaces of fine gold, weighing about 1 oz. 1-3 d oz. 3. A gold pin, representing a flower with a small garnet in the middle. 4. A woman's silver bracelet, weighing 14 oz. It is elastic, accommodating itself to the size of the arm. 5. Five strong silver rings, weighing 3i ounces each. 6. Two silver stiles, made probably for writing on tablets of wax, each weighing two-thirds of an ounce ; at the end oppo site the point they have a kind of spatula, fit for effacing the writing. _ _ 7. Several elastic silver rings in the form of a twined serpent, and one ring not elastic, with an engraved stone, representing a Genius or Victory. 8. Nails, rings, and other articles of silver, of different sizes. 9. A bronze coin of Julia Domna, the wife of Septimus Severus, surrounded by a circle of wo r k e d s il ver , an d attac h e d by a silver ring to a silver thread, bent circularly so that it might be suspended as an ear-ring or other ornament.- 10. Lastly, 216 coins of Roman Emperors, of which three are of gold (one of Galba), twelve or thirteen of bronze, and about 200 of silver, of Vespasian, Domitian, Trojan, Adrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, Julia Domna, Caracalla, Plautilla, Heliogabalus, Alexander Severus, Maximin, Pupian Maximus; but above all, of Gardian 111. ; Philip the father, and Philip the son, Otacilia Severn, Dccius, 'Frebonian Gallus, Volusian and Valerian the father. The gold coin representing Galba struck under the reign of this Emperor, in the 68th year of our era, though he reigned only seven months, is in perfect preservation. . These coins serve to determine the time when the whole were buried. The last Emperor whom they represent is Valerian, who ascended the throne at the end of the year 225 of our era. It is extremely probable that it was a short time after that a Gallic or Roman family took this precaution against the rava ges of the barbarians ; it was, in fact, in the year 254 that the Franks and Germans desolated Gaul in the most cruel man ner. That soul of‘whim and originality, CHARLES NIATHEws, accompanied by Noble Lord of acknowledged taste, paid a I visit during Passion-Week to Stratford-upon-Avon, for the purpose of fixing upon a plot of ground on which to erect a monument to the memory of our.beloired SHAKSPEARE. New place, where the Poet's house stood, is said to be fixed up'bn ; and CHAN TRY is the artist.
