ever the Creed to which their judgments may as- sent."—The first two of these seditious Prayers are levelled at our Establishment' in Church and State ; and the last is obviously intended to recommend the removal of all farther restrictions upon the Roman Catholics, and to yield them a full participation in political and le gislative power. We shall evract two more pas sages, to spew that the tendency of these impious productions was to attack Religion through its Professots—" That it may please ye to give and preserve to our use the kindly fruits of the earth, unfazed by men in black, whom those who wish for their instruction ought alone to support" ; the meaning of which is, that there should be an end of the NATIONAL CHU KCH :—" That it may please ye to put on short allowance , 11 Bishops, Pries- s, and Deacons, that their fleshy appetites, being re duced, their • spiritual mindedness may thereby he increased, and so that both by their preach ing and living they may set it forth, and spew it accordingly."—We could cite other pasages, but these are sufficient to sheee the tendency of the 'orks inquest ion, and we may fairly ask whether the intention of the man who composed them could be harmless, and whether he is acquitted by the great tribunat of people at large. And now we submit to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, whether those productions, which he has denounc t_d as impious and blasphemous, ought to be Cir ciliated all over the Empire. under the spe -ions form of the rebores of Law Proceedings. We see in The Morning Chronicle of this day, the follow ia ti,eirent , " THE PARODlES.—Preparing for the Press, I. WILLIAM FIONE's REPORT of his Three TRIALS, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last, at Guildhall, London, fur publishing THE PARODIES."

ANTI-GALLIC:AN, whereitt the aged and honourable KING Of SAxotav is very t►: j►tstly attacked and vil call him honourable, because I know no prince or Sovereign on the Continent that so completely reigns in the hearts of his subjects as be does, and has done upwards of 50 years, and ant alone seems to me to be the cause of his 'pis fortunes. His jealous neigliboor, like the Fax in the fable, long wishing to devour the Lamb, watched for the opportunity, and was Issisted by his powerful friend the Emperor of Russia, who may in torn devour the fox, when a proper oppor tunity may offer. Mr. Editor, will you ask your valuable Correspondent how he can prove the King of SAXONY to be a greater sinner than the King of PRU S SIA ? Did not the latter officially de nounce, cashier, and order General VON YORK to be arrested, when he refused to obey BUONA FARMS command any longer, and at a time when not 40 000 French. troops were in all Prussia, and BOONAPARTE at least on the road, if not arrived 'in Paris at the time ? Still your valuable Cor .respondent requires the King of SAXONY to resist, with 20,000 Saxon troops, a French army of 200,000 men and upwards, scattered over three parts of his dominions.' The unfortunate King of SAxoNy was, voluntarily, as little the friend of BOONAPARTE OS the King of PRUSSIA, but neces sity ~omrtimes has no law. Upon the whole, it stems to me that the King of SAxoNY has, on this occasion, as well as on many others, acted with a vast deal more consistency than his rapa cious neighbour. A REAL FRIEND TO ORDER. CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCERS. FOR THE SUN. LETTER 111. The tenderness of a wound is . known by its soreness, and those who suffer, whether in body or soul, naturally complain. It has pleased God to call up a Gentleman of Barnstaple, to notify his apprehensions of an intended attack on him and his compeers in the present Parliament. In his alarm, he is pleased to oppose his own suffi ciency to the ignorance of those sons of Belial, the Attornies ; and to prove his pretensions, as well as his title, to practice the law of conveyanc ing, he assures us, he took to it by a sort of in spiration, when he ceased to be a clerk to some Property Tax Commissioners. The Attornies are regulated by STATUTES ; and they are under the commitl of the Courts of Jos- rice. Practice, in the prosecution and Lb euce of suns, is their duty. Law, in the course thereof, and in sill is braticnes, they are supplied with by Counsel. They are legitimace characters and as they act with integrity, a civilized country cannot do without them. lite reverse of them are sure 10 meet their revvat:t 1 - 104 reprob %%That is it - he Attornies legnire ? not to in- jute arty one, but to prevrnt nil injury to them selves. They say, that the scriveneis of com nto:-place matters, whien come not within the pale of law, have diminisued, certain persons have increa,ed, in the, shape ot Conveyancers, sere not the name, it being impossible for them, as men or no learning, but low breeding, to ialow any thing of the nature, spirit, and el fec► of an assurance, or what constitutes a good ur bait tide to a real or personal estate. They may have a su►atterin;;, like the repetition of soundb by a parlor, but they ought not to inter fere in the business of those who are qualified for it. The hrincit they have seized upon, - being, as they think, detached from t':e employ of at tornies and counsel, they have usurped their right, by paying a tax, or gaining an atimittance into one of th:• tour law societies. The tax is upon Attornies anti Draftsmen below tl.e bar, without the production of any credentials, and the admit t,:nce, not for the bar or chambers, but to act as Convey.ineeri, is careless, and tvi on prnpriety.

O.—Arrived the Fortitude, STEPHEN, and Flora, WORK, front Lvudon, outward•boonrl BUONAPAait:-,vk By letters received itithis town during the pre sent week from St. Helena, we 'learn that 800- Napalm:, to use the precise term in the letter, is sulky, occasioned, it seems, by his having re ceived intelligence of the destination of his son for the church. A new road, extending twelve miles, has been rnade for his accommodation, but he has not yet deigned to honour it w:ith his pre sence. Perhaps the true cause of ail this per versity is'. the extreme strictness with which he is guarded, and which renders impracticable every hope .of his again returning to France to plunge the world into . another warfare.--- A telegraphic message is forwarded twice every day from the vicinity t,r - Buonaparte's re sidence to the Governor, announcing that " all is well ;" and not an individual belong ing to his establishment can move to any dis tance without being under the eye of vigilant observers. The good people of St. Helena fre quently wonder how the Lx-Emperor •and his suite contrive to consume the daily • allowance of provisions and other necessaries sent to Longwood. The consumption of woad and coal, for instance, in so warm a climate is im mense, being 100 lb. of the former; and seven bushels of the latter. Notwithstanding this abun dant supply, the coop (a very prominent personage of she imperial household on all occasions) com plained one day to his master that he wanted more wood, when he was immediately ordered to cut up a mahogany chest of drawers and a clothes press, which had been transmitted from England., The first article was actually sub nutted .to the axe, and the latter must Lava shared the same fate, but for the declaration of the cook,' that he had now sufficient fuel. - .Ve have heard a great deal of Buonaparte's mag nanimity apt!. the even temper with which he supports his advet se condition. Such behaviour as this, however, by no means accords with either sentiment, and betrays more the pettiShness of disappointed ambition and frustrated mischief, than any liberal or philosophic principle. Several' merchants and others in St. Helena, formerly con• nected with the oittward and -homeward-bound trade, have been half-ruined by the precautions taken to prevent intercourse between the shore and, shipping, which are sometimes directed to keep under sail whilst waiting for water. It may be hard upon then), but, for our own rats, we cam not help thinking that, even it the evils suffered by individuals on the island were greater, they are absolute leathers in comparison with the more enormous evils, sure to arise from relaxing in those precautions, and thereby opening a steond escape for the Corsican bloodhound.—(Plyinotrrh and .
