Profanity anti blas phemy accord well with their political doctrines. Christianity must be destroyed before men are rendered callous to all their social and moral duties. [fence it is that the Reformers (Heaven forgive the prostitution of the Name taken by such miscreants) have inundated the Em- • pire with publications of the most baneful ten dency, and at prices so low-as to be within the reach of the poorest classes. These arc alluded to in the Report, but it is impossible for such of our Readers as have been saved from the con-. tagion of seeing them, to form any idea of their atrocity. Infamous parodies on the most sacred parts of natural and revealed religion ; grossly brutal - and brutalizing mockeries of every thing which has been revered for ages ; total licentious ness, and a like contempt of their obligations to their fellow-creatures and their duties to Heaven, are the pervading features of these disorganizing productions. Thus was the general tide preparing, which would, perhaps at no distant period, have deso lated these fair and happy realms, had it not been that some headlong currents burst the banks too soon, and roused the Nation ill time to save itself. Luddism was but the trial of their pernicious principles on a limited soale 7 -Spa-fields but an ex periment en the popular feeling. Thank GOD ! it was carried so far. That Vrovidence which can alone bring good out of evil is now manifesting itself distinctly in behalf of this favoured Land. The assassin who aimed at his Pongee's life, was but an instrument in its hand, and the flame of loyalty, patriotism, and union which his crime hiss lighted up, almost makes us rejoice in the desperate wickedness of the Act. We are unwilling to extend these remarks to a greater length: The. Report, in its conclusion, says that with which we wsould conclude—" that the present Establishments of the Civil Power are insufficient and - inadequate—that such a state of things cannot much longer continue—and that some farther measures are necessary for the pre servation of the public peace, and for the main tenance of that system of Government, and the' invaluable Constitution under which all his Ma jesty's subjects have the happiness to live." Such is the opinion of the Lords' Committee upon What. a Mornin Paper has even this day the hardihood to denominate " pretended Conspira cies." No wonder that such a .JoltrOal, Shata proceed in an Essay, beginning so auspiciously, • to use its best endeavours, as indeed it does, to bring . Parliament into suspicion and disrepute; to . tell its Readers, that no House was made last night from corrupt motives, instead of attributing . it to the obvious miles. of a greater number o Members being reqiiired to. Constitute an Election Committee, and the holding of a Court ; and no wonder that a Journal so anti-British in its prin ciples should be un-British in its language, and condemn the Report for not being " more iden tical than it is ! !" This Report, little " identical" as if is, will he taken into consideration on Friday, and lend we doubt not to efficacious tneaittres tar the preserva tion of the Public Peace and Constitution at the Country. The Dutch Papers state, that there have been some serious disturbances at Madrid. They c-n -taut), as will be seen from our Extracts, no other intelligence of ninth interest. FALMOUTH, FIB.

WESTMINSTOR DFCLAItATION.---We understand that ;l General Declaration is now in progress tram the Western part of the Metropolis, similar to that which has with so good an effect been pro mulgated by the leading characters of the City. These have set a most noble example, worthy of universal imitation, and We'sh6ulil regret exceed ingly had that portion . of the Metropolis been backward to express those honourable feelings of indignant loyalty which the scenes that have re cently taken place there, anti in some other parts of the kingdom, most awaken itt every virtuous mind.
