(From the Morging Post, Dec. 3.) Mr. EDITOR.-Pray, Sir, what is the modern signification 'of " Secular Clergy ?" Does a cler gyman in orders, but who has no cure or clerical functions to perform, and carries on trade as a dealer and chapman, fall within this distinction ? I shall really feel obliged to some of your learned readers to state what is now meant by Secular Clergy. I have heard of several men in Priest's orders carrying on trade in various ways, , and some have recently been gazetted as such.— Surely is it not a reflection on their Diocesans to permit it ? The Judges and the Bar are very strict in this respect, and why should not the Church ? I" remember, some years ago, when a Serjeant at Law wanted to become a Banker, he was told by his brethren, that if he did, he trust give up his town. Again, in a more recent in stance, where a Barrister had become involved in a cotton manufactory, and to relieve himself from his difficulties it was necessary to be gazetted, he was, from a correct feeling, requested previously to withdraw from the bar, which he did. Now, Sir, I had occasion last summer to go to the Continent in one of the steam-boats from London to Calais,•and it so happened that a Gentleman of pleasant appearance having taken the helm, I enquired who he was, and was informed that he was a Clergyman largely concerned in trade and the managing owner of the vessel, and, that he generally went in this steam-packet, and had the entire control 'of her ; that the other part owner a d himself had been employed for many years in excavating canals, cleansing harbours, building bridges, and other public works, yet he had never been noticed by his Diocesan, and is suffered to retain his Clerical cha rac t er , th oug h, with the exception of one sermon in four or five years, he never performs any of its duties ; and these sermons are only given under the peculiar cir cumstances of his connexion with a certain bo rough in which his family had a predominant in fluence. These particulars I learnt from one of my fellow passengers, who appeared to know much of this individual's character and con nexions, but he did not know whether he was to be considered " a peculiar" of the Diocese of London or Winchester. I was led to make these inquiries from a circumstnace which occurred early in the morning bef?re we left the River. The passengers had all assembled on board, at the appointed hour, and it was expected we should have sailed immediately, but an interval of nearly half an hour having elapsed they became impatient, and applied to the Master to know the cause of the delay, when he said the Reverend Managing Part owner, who was below, would not permit the packet to leave her moorings until an eminent Equity Judge came on board, who was to go in her that day. Still, notwithstanding repeated re monstrances by the passengers, the steam-boat was detained another half-hour, until this distin guished personage arrived, when he was received on board, and attended by the Reverend indivi dual before-mentioned, with the most profound and obsequious respect, which was continued throughout the voyage. On our arrival off Calais harbour, we 'could not enter it, in consequence of the delay which, took place in the morning, when the comforts of all the passengers were sacrificed to the convenience of this_ Learned and impartial Judge. There was something so remarkable in , this proceeding that it attracted general attention, and was frequently the topic of conversation in the course of the voyage. Clement's Inn, Nov. 27, 1822. VERITAS. We believe a Company is about forming to establish a line of packets betweert this port (Liverpool) and Lisbon, consisting of six packets, two to be dispatched per month. It is purposed to raise the sum in shares. From the number of the vessels which arrived at this port from Lisbon with cargoes during the last year, there is little doubt but cargoes for the packets would be always obtained.—(Liverpool Advertiser.) MR. EDITOR— liaanilongwaited in hopes of seeing some decisive observations upon Mr. O'Meara's late production, 1, take the liberty, in my ow❑ way i to offer to your attention, and if you please for insertion in your valuable Paper, a few extracts, and some remarks upon the Saint Helena Journal. I say in my own way, because I wish to be as concise as possible, and yet to Convey and refute the real substance of the charge direct and indirect made by that Gen tleman. NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE landed atSt. Helena on the 17th of October 1815, and died there ilay the 5th.1821.. The per sons attached to his suite consisted of 25 persons, viz._Counts Bertrand, MOntholoo,-and Las Ca9ebt4 Baron'Gourgaud; Coun tess Bertrand and threa childerv; Countess Montholon and child ; Marchand, premier valet de chembre ' • Cipriani, maitre d'hotel ; Pieron, St. Denis, Novarre, Le Page, two Arch . ambatidsi Santini, Rousseau, Gentilini, Josephine, Bernard and his wife, dcimestics to Count Bertrand; young Las Cayes, besides twenty British acting as , servants--total 45. It ap pears from this journal that Mr. O'Meara during, the voyage to England in the Bellerophon got so far into -Napoleon's good graces, that he requested that gentleman might be ap pointed his Surgeon at St. Helena, and he was accordingly with hint transferred into the Northumberland, in which Na poleon Was removed to that island. Mr. O'Meara continued to act in that capacity until the 25th JulylBlB, when he was re moved by the Governor, Sir Hudson. Lowe, at which time the journal ends. Then follows the Appendix of Public Records, and from its contents chiefly, I will endeavour to exhibit the truth. This Journal, in two Volumes, Bvo., appears to be written with much acrimoq, 4nd - to contain an account of the Island of St. Helena; but among-the common statements, it especially contrasts the horrors of Napoleon's residence at Longwood with the delights of Plantation House, the country seat of th e Go vernor. It also narrates the daily occurrences; the victualling Napoleon's family of attendants ; the everlasting disputes about his crown and dignity ; the restrictions imposed upon him by the Governor, and the too frequent reerimination - s from the latter ; the gross abuse delivered by Napoleon, and the too petulant and indiscreet retaliation vented, as Mr. O'Meara re ports, in his presence ; the conversations with Napoleon on his political conduct during his appointment to command, until his• submission to Captain Maitland, on board the Bellerophon, upon the coast of France, after the battle of Waterloo, and his consequent abdication. But though there does not appear to • have taken place that degree of caution and reserve on the part of the Governor, which prudence might naturally have pointed out;when dealing with such a character as Buonaparte, and not less with those of his suite, Mr. O'Meara inclusive, still _there is, for the purpose of exhibiting the real truth, sufficient information displayed in the appendix of üblic records, which are worth whole volumes of narrations written evidently under the influence of resentment ; and these alone, as we shall see, fully justify the intentions of Government, especially the re strictions under which the prisoner was held solely with-the view of preventing his escape ; and the ample-allowances • of food furnished for his daily support and that of his attendants. The following document will show under what feelings the Allied Powers considered the person of Buonaparte to stand : • Appendix, No. 14.—Extract of the Declaration signed by the Ministers of the Allied Powers at Vienna, March 13, 1815. " The powers wh o s i gne d th e T reaty o f P ar i s, having re united in Congress at Vienna, and informed of the escape of Na poleon Buonaparte, and his forcible entry into France, owe to their own dignity and to social order a declaration of the senti ments which this event has made them experience."—" In •thus breaking the-Convention_ which had established him at the Island of Elba, Buonaparte has destroyed the only legal title to which his existence has attaehStli In appearing- again in France, with projects of trouble and subversion, lie Gas deprived him self of the protection- o f th e l aws , and has manifested, in the face of the world, that there can be neither truce nor peace with him."—" The Powers declare, in consequence, that Napoleon 'Buonaparte is placed out of the pale of civil and social relations; and that as an enemy and a disturber of the world, he is deli vered up to public vengeance !

Under what feelings Mr. O'Meara, In the above extract, affixes the three points of admiration to the Duke of Welling ton's narfie, it is for the public to conjecture. Mr. O'Meara prefaces Appendix No. 6 in the following manner, the public will judge with what propriety. " Re strictions made by Sir Hudson,Lowe, and communicated at " Longwood on the 9th of October 1816, and which he had " already put in execution by different orders, ever since the " month of' August preceding, and which he never commu " nicated to the English Officers of the service, ashamed, no " doubt, of th e i r c o n t en t s ." L e t th ese restr i ct ions speak for themselves. Could the Governor have any reason to be ashamed of thus restraining such a person, interdicted as his prisoner was b 1 the late sufferers from his ambition ? viz. Austria, Spain, ranee, Russia, Great Britain, and Prussia. " Heads of some proposed Alterations in the Regulations hitherto established for the persons under charge at Longwood. 1. Longwood, with the road along the ridge, by Hutsgate, to the signal-gun, near the alarm:house, will be established as the limits. 2. Sentries will designate the external boundary, as well as that beyond which no person can approach Longwood House and Garden, without the Governor's per►riission. 3. The road to the left of Hutsgate, and returning by Woody ridge to Longwood, never having been frequented by General Buonaparte since the Governor's arrival, the posts which ob served it will, for the greater part, be withdrawn. Should he, however, wish at any time to ride in that direction, by-giving the Orderly Officer timely notice of it, he will meet with no im pediment. _ 4. If he is desirous to extend his ride in any other direction, an Officer of the Governor's personal Staff will always (on be ing informed in sufficient time) be prepard to attend him ; and • should time not admit, the Orderly Officer at Longwood.-- The Officer who attends him will be instructed npt to approach towards him, unless so requested, nor to interfere in any respect with him during his ride, except so far as duty may require, on observing any departure from the established rules,when he will ride up, and respectfully inform him of it. 5. The regulations,already in force, for preventing commu nication with any persons without the Governor's permission, will be required to be strictly adhered to: it is requested! therefore, General Buonaparte will abstain from entering any hduses, or engaging in conversation with the persons he may meet (except so far as the ordinary salutations 91 polite ness , with which every one will be instructed to treat him, may ap pear to require,) unless in the presence of a British Officer. 6. Persons, who, with General Buonaparte's acquiescence may at any time receive passes fron? the Governor to visit him,. cannot use such passes to communicate with the other persons of his family, unless it is so specifically expressed in them. 7. At sunset the garden inclosure round Longwood House will be regarded as the limits. Sentries will be placed round it at that hour, but will be pasted in such a manner as not to incommode General Buonaparte with their personal observa tion of him, should he continue his walks in the garden after that time. Theyiwill be drawn round the house, as heretofore, during the night, and the limits will remain closed un til t h e sentries are withdrawn entirely from the house and garden in the morning.. _ _ 8. All letters for Longwood will be put up by the Governor under a scaled envelope, and the packet sent to the orderly officer in attendance upon General Buonaparte, who will thus be assured the contents will have been made known to no other person than the' Governor.—ln the same manner allletters from persons at Longwood must be delivered to the Orderly Officer, put up under an outer envelope'se_aled, to the address of the Go vernor, which will insure that no other person than himself will be acquainted with their content. 9. No letters are to be received or sent,' nor written commu nication of any kind pass or be made known, except in the above manner : nor can any correspondence be permitted within the island, except - such communications as may be indispensable to make to the Purveyor ; the notes containing which must be delivered open to the Orderly Officer, who will be charged to forward them. The above alterations will take place from the 10th inst. Si. Helena, Oct. 9, 1816. H. LOWE." " Nothing can surpass the elegance of this composition, ex " cepting its grammatical correctness ! or, indeed, the humanity " ofthe regulations."—(Mr. 0 1 31.'s ObserVation.) Napoleon and Mr. O'Meara deem these regulations " bar barons"—C° cruel"—" inhuman"—in particular, those of the sth, tith and 9th ; but the sane part of the public is as capable of forming a judgment of the propriety of these regulations as Buonaparte or Mr. O'Meara is. But let us proceed, in the next place, to examine with what extreme parsimony this poor pri soner was fed; and lament, if we can, that our English caterers should fall so short of our Gallic neighbours in this, to a French man, so very interesting a particular.

Mr. O'Meara's Appendix account of St. Helena, p. 423, v. 2. " Tea is the only commodity to be purchased cheap. We found on our arrival that provisions were scarce ; indeed the necessaries of life were to be procured with great difficulty, and at an exorbitant rate. Such was the scarcity of cattle, that killing a bullock was an affair of state, and a regulation existed (but Mr. o'lll. does not assert that it was then prac tised upon), prohibiting the inhabitants from slaughtering even their own cattle, without having obtained official permission from the Governor and Council. The sheep are very small, weighing from 20 to 30 lbs. each, ( Welsh mutton we map sup pose.)

The truth will be found, on the perusal of Mr. O'Meara's own statement by every un prejudiced person, 'to be very diffifrent from what he seems to wish it to be thought, for the prisoner and all his people were well fed ;--and under no further restraint than was necessary for his safe keeping. The dwelling, which was assigned to him, was the best which at the time could be procured; and sufficient for the residence of any private Gentleman. It appears that the situation was, in some respects, too much exposed to be agreeable at all times, and Buonaparte fixed upon this circum stance as a foundation for his complaints—endless and ever the same repeated; but hundreds of Englishmen, who' had the misfortune to be appointed his Guards, shared his fate in this particular, without the burthen, it must be confessed, of the crimes which brought him there. But the British Government, with a liberality which this unworthy man little merited, accommodated him at a vast expense, to the best of its ability ; which he, from ill-temper, cer tainly did not enjoy ; for that enemy to all repose, which accompanied him from Elba to St. Helena, afforded him none of those consolations which invariably proVe a balm to inno cence within, under any outward distress. One other subject of complaint is stated to be connected with what his own act of abdication deprived him,—The title of Emperor. This, and the Regulations copied above, induced the poor creature it seems to confine himself to the house, in spice of the continued remonstrances of his medical advisers, who assured him that such means would terminate fatally, which proved to be the case on the sth of May 1821, after a residence in the Island of five years, six months, and 22 days. The following is an extract from the Journal, at p. 184, v. 2. " Have you ever heard," said he, " that Lord Wellington was the - person who first proposed to send me to St. Helena? I replied, that I had heard so, but that I did not give the re port any credit. "ifit be true," said he, "it will reflect but little honour upon him in the eyes of posterity." • Mr. O'Mea. ra's note on this passage is as follows :—" It is said that the Duke of Wellington returned to England from India in a fri gate commanded by Captain (now Sir George) Cockburn, and • remained at St. Helena for some days, during which time he narrowly escaped death •by drowning, having been upset in a boat in one of the squalls; so prevalent at that anchorage; also, that when Napoleon was at Elba, his Grace suggested to the Congress,. that he should be removed fro m th e n ce t o St. H e l e n a , urging the latter place to be the best adapted for his perpetual imprisonment, from his own local knowledge. I merely give this report as an on dit, though I know that it is believed by many. If true, however, perhaps the-Duke may esteem it to be one of his most brilliant achievements, and only surpassed by the manifestation of generosity and humanity he displayediin • the fate of his old Antagonist Ney." Here Mr. O'Meara,—in the first place says, that he disbe. heves this vague charge ;—secondly, he argues upon it as if it were true ; though, in fact it was the very advice which it be..- came his Grace as is friend to his country and mankind in ge. neral, to have given ; and, in the third piate, this is done .iii order to force in. a serious caluimly agdinkt Britain% 'noblbst hero, who is, however, invulnerable to such petty shafts 'of slander. In regard to those whose misfortune it was to possess so worth less a charge, it may be truly Observed,. that it is no vel easy matter to accommodate to his entire satisfaction, such a man, so situated, in any retirement, as Buonaparte was. We arc not surprised that he was dissatisfied with his station ; his limits ; his allowance of food ; his society ; the eihnate ; the icitid of respect paid him by those who never acknowledged theinsehres his slaves, but had set him at defiance when in the plenitude of his power ; nor that persons of a certain twist of politics should be the objects of the prisoner's commendation • and that; 'no doubt, the friends and the admirers of Mr. Fox, Lord, and.espe dally Lady, Holland, Sir Francis Burdett, with many others eulogized in these pages, (all, by the bye, of the same plitital party) shoUld feel themselves honoured by Napoleon's ailpro bation. Sir Hudson Lowe, and some others, who. had the charge of this state-prisoaer, might, at times, express 'thein selves rather too strongly about him, when it would have been more dignified to have 'disregarded his raVings ; but.l tru st the great mass of Briti s h su bj ec t s es ti mate the character of this abdicated Emperor, arid all the asserted cruelties-inflicted on him, by a standard very different from that which Mr. O'Meara has thought fit to .produce to the public observation and 'eriti cism—at a period, too, when the world had nearly forgot that such alierson as Napoleon Buonaparte ever had existence ; rind that those who had the charge of the prisoner will beconsi dered as having completely performed their duty by his safe, keeping under circumstances of grea t difficulty, thrown i n th e way of Government by a wicked, abandoned party, which has never ceased on all occasions to support the-inveterate, avowed, and concealed enemies of this country. To sum up the whole case in a few words, it appears that the hero of this work wes a daring, Wicked, able man • a pest to the civilized world ;—but being at length taken in his own snares, he was compelled, from the fear of a worse fate, to throw himself upon the . mercy of the most humane and , the most worthy Government on earth ;—that, in reference to the decla ration of the Allied Powers signed at Vienna on the I3th of March, 1815, Great Britain undertook to hold him in safe keeping; and in so doing, for the sake of her own moral cha racter and dignity, by means of uncorruptible agents, treated him infinitely better than he deserved. I remain, Mr. Editor, Your obliged very humble Servant, Plymouth. SENEX. CITY, TUESDAY'EVENING. No event in the memory of man has created more astonishment than the information, communicated last evening and thiS morning by the public prints, respecting the proceedings of the Holy Allied Legitimates at Verona, has pro duced amongst the inhabitants of the metropolis . of England, and consequently oftheworld. That another war should be en tered on without...he slightest pretext, merely to promote despotism and barbarism at the expence of all that is great and good in human nature, displays no ordinary effrontery. That the liberties and happiness of Spain should be sacrified to the Divine Rights possessed by Legitimate Monarchs to trample on the freedom of the human race, and that England, whi c h h as already sacrificed so m uc h o f her valuable blood to snatch the Peninsula from the iron rod of the Emperor NAPOLEON, should now' look with indifference on this foul conspiracy, almost staggers belief. In The private walks of life, however, the rut moored intentions of the Holy Alliance have already produced indescribable distress, and, like the neighbourhood of a pestilence, their existence itself has alarmed and terrified human nature. The Consols, Which yesterday closed at about 801, opened this morn ing at about 79A 3, rose to 79i fell to 79k, and. finally closed at 791. The I"undholders still cling to the idea that war will be prevented. They trust to the self-interested principles of the Holy Alliance, that they will avoid committing them selves in a warfare against the independence of the human mind. They , also trust that the Duke of WELLINGTON will be instructed to make an efibrt with the French Government to avert the apparent insanity with which they are at preSent pos sessed ; and rumour farther adds, that his Grace will prOoeud to Madrid should he not succeed in Paris. The ancient naNesse, however, at present predominate in the Councils of 'France, and as the genuine French Marquess,in point of mind; is universally admitted to bear still greataffinity .to the monkey, what calamities may not their resolutions entail on Europe ! One thing may, however, assuredly be relied on, that " if a general war results from this must holy meeting at .Verona," it will be the last ever undertaken in the cause of the Bo ITRBON family, for its result w:ll either rivet or burst asunder the chainsof the oppressors of the liu. man race.—lii Foreign Securities scarcely any transaction's have been effected. One express arrived from Paris, dated on Sun. day evening, but it communicates nothing satisfactory. Many of the holders of Foreign Stocks here seem inclined to 'Wait calmly for better information, before they effect the ruin of their 'families, by the sacrifice of their property. They still hope that justice will not banish itself from the Councils of Nations, and cling to the distant prospect that intimidation will be the only weapon used at present by France against Spain.--(Morn ing Chronicle.)

The deer was at length taken about two miles from Hayes, after a chace of upwards of two hours. A young man, at Haynford, near Norwich, W:l9 left an estate,' a few years since, worth, at his father's de cease, 10,000/. To the other branches of the family were left - legacies to the amount of 4,0001., payable out of the about estate. To discharge these legacies, and to pay ofrother incurn brances, the estate was mortgaged for seven 'thousand pounds. Owing to the depreciation in value of- landed property, the estate is now not worth more than 4,0001.
