PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY. MR. , Erwrox,—lt is wiTh great satisfaction that l'o!rserve your determination to support the cause of Protestantism by your literary exertions, and by a rea ly insertion of all communications upon that important subject. Wili you permit me to hint to you : that another Mode of proceeding triJ,y, ! be added to your intended efforts- 7 1 . nteap the insertion of critical „analyses of the argu ments brought forward in other Journals on the aprosite site of the question, and also of those used in 'a certain place, so as to neutralize mis representations and mi?4tatements,. give the retort courteous to actual falsehood', and in short, to expose the Jesuitical sophistry which is daily gaining ground with the Metropolitan Press ? A -controversy already exists in some of the Morning Papers, in regard to the charge often brought against Popery, of selling pardons for, various offences—a charge which is boldly denied by a Catholic advocate ; now, Sir, without deal ing in general charges, or yielding to flat denials, I shall beg leave to present you with a well authenticated fact, which will surely be sufficient to convince the most incredulous of the existence of a system the most immoral that can disgrace any religion, whether Christian, Malionietan,' or heathen.- In the Star 1799, or perhaps 1800, his Ma lesty's frigate Southampton then commanded by Captain, now Rear-Admiral John Harvey, Commander-in-Chief on the windward stat ion) was cruising off the north end of Anguilla, where site captured Spanish Tartar, from Europe, bound for Vera Cruz, or the Havannah. On exa mining, leer papers, it appeared that her lading vou - s ;- sre d . o . f cases of quicksilver invoiced at 20;000 dollars, and of bales of paper invoiced arc 30,000, or about 7500/, sterling. As to the value of the quicksilver the Captors entertained no . doubt ; but it was matter of wonder what could be wanted-on the Spanish main with so much paper'; and, indeed. how. even so nzauy bites could be so valuable ; tor the, Patron OF master of the Tavtar, spoke of this paper in teOris of high admiration. A bale of it was accordingly carried on board the 'Southampton _for examination, when it was found to consist of printed sheets, of the size and eppeararice of a newspaper, each of which was stamped with several black seals, with prices at tached to each, in the stile and manner of English stamps. Some of these papers were in Spa- Disi►, others in Latin ; and the whole of them were either pardons or indulgences for the various sins . , not deadly, contained in the Catholicrubrick. The seals or stamps were those - of Ecclesiastical Courts, and Officials at Rome ; to which were added those of several SpaniSh Dignitaries, particularly the .9rcl►Gishep of Toledo; every seal had its and the prices varied in proportion to the object of each paper, some of the sheets being only rated at. half a dollar, - and others as high as seven. The Patron acknowledged that his employers had paid. the invoice price of those holy goods in Europe ; and indeed it appeared by the vessel's papers that they were partly consigned to Ecclesiastical Es• tablishments, and partly sent out for the chance of a market. The prize was carried into Tortola, where the whole of the hales were sold to some Danish speculators front St. Thomas, for about 2001.; and those Gentlemen ma-de the purchase in hopes of disposing of them by a smuggling trade on the coAst of Porto Rico, and also on the Main. Now; what will the Catholic advocates say to this ? have named names ; and I will add, that Messrs. Ceake and Porter, of Tortola, were the prize a;!.;..mts, and that , the fact was publicly known .hat Island. Yours, DR. ITARDING. In our last we concluded the voluminous report of the Commissioners appointed to investigate the alleged abuses in the. Convict department of this city, and our readers are now able to appreciate the motives.of the writer of a paragraph whit') lately appeared in a factious London Print, and to which we adverted a few posts back, We confi dently appeal 'to their judgment, whether any mind, howeverpreverted, could torture auy pas sage of that report into the slightest imputation on the character or conduct of Dr. HARDING. On the contrary, the investigation of the subject most be regarded as reflecting the highest credit on both, for it appears from the. report that there existed among some of those connected with the ingniry, a disposition by no. means influenced by partiality to that Gentleman, and that, in rob lag the subject to the bottom, if •they could dis cover the smallest ground fur accusation aaahrst hint, there would not be .much reluctance iu bring ing it forward. Yet be has passed through this ()Ideal not only without injury 'but with honour. 'There have been, however, rumours circulated, that Dr. 11. had been deprived of his appointment Physician to the Convict Department in this city ; but to the mortifica,ion of his caltnitniatorS, Ire have the pleasure to state, ,that lie Onfiriues to iiii that importiint office, 'the duties Of Which he In so long discharged with equal 'credit to bintsclf and advantage .to the public.--(Cotk-4d rertizif, July 8.)

" A vessel from Pernambuco, which left there early - in May, has arrived at Lisbon, and an nounces that there was then much disorder among the insurgents, and that the inhabitants only Waited the arrival of the troops to throw off the yolte imposed upon them.
