Who has ever found in the politiCal 'vocabulary French gratitude, or French modera tion mentioned, but like the longitude, a thing yet tO tie discovered ?

As soon as it is so, we, shall, no doubr, see it devolope'.its holy character to expecting Europe, by restoring, at least, all territories unjustly acquired during a contest which has given rise to this Alliance, and by fulfilling all promises made by the parties to their people ; for nothing can be holy that is not just ; .and in a future crisis the people might not feel inclined to exert their energies in behalf of those who, when the crisis is past, treat them with neglect. .

The transaction was of that nature which called fur 'some investigation. The Loan MAYOR said, that.the case had come :before him for examination, but some accounts of it which appeared in the Newspapers were considerably .exaggerated.--41ere the matter rest ed.

We stopped the Press yesterday. to announce the arrival of three days' Paris Papers, to Monday last inclusive. Those of Tuesday, which were due this morning, have not come to band. As we could only merely notice the arrival of the above-mentioned Journals in a part of our Publication of yesterday, we extract this day all that is material in them, including of course the little we were enabled to notice yesterday The chief feature is the report of the •Central Committee on the Proj6t regarding the Press, which was made to the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. Considerable difference of opinion ap pears to have arisen upon this subject, and the Report suggests amendments which would ma terially alter the ProjZt, though preserving 'the general principle. An Author, for instance, ac cording to the proposed amendments, is not to be responsible where a deposit of his work has merely been made according to law, it being suggested that it should only be considered a publication where the work is actually, either wholly or in part, circulated. There are several other amend ments, the object of which appears to be to give a greater freedom to the Ptess than the Projet would allow. Respecting the public Journals also, and periodical works, treating on political subjects, there is a very important amendment proposed, namely, that instead of the restriction on them continuing till the Ist January 1821, it should last no longer than till the end of the Session of the Chambers of 1818. The discussion on the Projit and proposed amendments was to commence yesterday. A num ber of members inscribed their names on Saturday to take part in the debate, which may be ex-. pected to continue for some days. From the statements given in these Journals, it is impossible to collect which way, with regard either to the Projk or the amendments, or is to both the opi nions of the Deputies whose names are given, in cline ; but it is - a curious fact, that the Chiefs of what are called the` ndependentS and the Ultras, appear inscribed on the same side. There is not a word in these Journals respect ing any change in the. French Ministry. - • Some of the Italian States are said to be fitting out vessels of war to cluize against the Barbary pirates. It is . also stated' that two Portuguese frigates are about to cruize in the Mediterranean against 'Tunisian vessels, the truce between the Court of Portugal and the Bey of Tunis not hav- ink been renewed. FRENCH FIVE PER CENTS. Friday and Saturday 63 f. 30 r. By the letters from Paris, received yesterday, we learn that another French Loan has been taken by the house of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and Co. and BARING and Co. The amount is eight millions stetting, but the terms of payment have not yet been made public. (From the Charieston Paper of Nov. 7.) The barque Mary arrived at Norfolk from Cork, put into St. Michael's (one of the Azores) about the Lit i Septerober, .for provisions and water, and found there the Dutch brig Ade' from Rotterdam, which had also pot in fox s"r plies. The Adelfer was bound for Pliiladriplii; and left Rotterdam with 200 passengers ; she been out 91 days when she stopped at St. g: chael's, during which 40 of the passengers II died, principally from being so thickly crowd s ` together in a space incapable of accommodatiO; hem, while some - ot the number were actuai l l . starved to death. Four of the unfortlinate were thrown overboard after the brig reached 5' Michael's Roads. The Times Newspaper of this. morning, adver t ' ing to an " Address and Appeal from ti le Roman Catholics of Ireland, to their P r otest* ant Brethren of the United Kingdom of Gres i t Britain and Ireland," says, "We apprehew that general practice introduced by the Refnr mation has improved the princles of the Cr tholic Religion." The writer who express's this opinion could have applied little attention 11 the declarations and doctrines of the Roman 0# (holies, for otherwise his sentiments would be ° Y. tally 'different. How often must the_ credulntlf advocates for Catholic Claims be told, that d' e Roman Catholics boast of the immutability of tbe it faith, and declared that they deceive thernselc' es who suppose that the Catholic - Religion has u t ' dergone the least change, and avow -that selle r eadem is its fundamental principle. If the gg # man Catholics differ at present 'with the I NO " LISLE HEAD of their Church, they do so becair sg they conceive that he lists been in error in si l l concessions-which he has.made, or has signifi ed his intention to make, and they ascribe those et... rors to his individual weakness, so titer, in fact, THE ,POPE himself may have profi t ed by the Reformation, and . reflection (3° that event may have " improved the principles of his religion ; but if so, he essentially diffe rs from the general, if not universal, body of Cat lies, who look with a stronger abhorr e n c e on O a° Reformation than language can express, and CO' sider it as having brought such detestable hail into the world, as Ought to be exterminated by any means, good or bad, that may accomplish it 6 total annihilation or rather they consider no meg ° as otherwise than in the highest degree rnec i ' . tot ions in the sight of the Supreme Bein s o i ' that may effectually produce so desirable an e di . on which they conceive depends the salvation mankind. We possess the hest Establishment 1° Church and State that the world ever (003 ) and they will be Legislators. totally unworthy public confide n ce wbo c an in the oliBhtest degas, . submit to bring it into hazard. Let the Catholics have the uncontrouled exercise of their Religioo4l the utmost limits of wholesome toleration, - excef ; f o t in attempting to make Proselytes; but let thero'" , ever be excluded from any - participation in p o litic ° authority. If the Irish Catholics have their te 5L3 for Parliamentary Candidates whom they Teclo ill to advocate their cause, let us too have our test s - for the preservation of our Constitution, and lQs none be admitted, to legislative power who s c° ,' not promise to give their unequivocal, firm, o '' persevering support to the PROTESTANT ASC S/ DANCY.
