tibtrpoot. Otanbarb. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEIVE,ER'7„ 1832. • , • AT length we , have intelligence. from. Antwerp of the eomiliencoment of hostilities, by the citadel firing (Spoil the French troops, who were. making their approach to that fortress somewhat- more .closely than.vvas agreeable to the Old GOVernor. By accounts .up to Sunday, t it appears that the French had not reiiilarly begun the tick, and the firingfrom the citadel had been suspended, it being the day appointed b!' the King 'of the Netherlands to he observed as a solemn fast throughout his territorier. We haie elSewhere given the Summons of the French General to the GO i vertior of the Citadel, with the answer returned by Generar Chasse, and Marshal 'Gerard's re ply. From the latter document it is to .be inferred that the neu'ralitv of Antwerp will not .be respectod,. and we fear that noble city is , doomedto. suffer the horrors of a bombardment, and will probably be laid in ashes. IT is a far more agreeable °Mee toeulogise, than to de preciate to reconunend; than to oppose.: But, in the present 'conjuncture of dffteim, we deem it a far more impe rative duty, • to resist the. elaimS 0:f Mr*.• • Therfiely, and expose their unsoundness, than to •advance and support those of any man whatever: ' ' • 'Mr. Thurnely: neat beeOnsideredaS the natural enemy of ;the ksiablithecl Church of this-country. It is true, that' Most of the , a,n quiies at : that Church, knowing the great hold;whichits substance retains over the affections of the community; profess , only a desire to reform it. We leotriplaiti , of this dishonesty even. more. than their bitterness :.because they not only seek a: foul object, but seek it under a fair name. - ' ' Are, then, all these who-profess a, desire to remove the abuses. of - the Church its euenlies ?' • • By ..no ;means : those, who -desire such inodificatiorfi iif :externals, as will terulto increase its etlicacy and Tender it yet more truly national, we, count as friends, be thW:CtfOrehmen or be they Dissenters... :But, unhappily,. there are-others who mask their designs, and who When•once, - under:the sanc tion of -the to of Reform, they haie. gained the license of innovation they require, will speedily unveil their ob ject, 'which is—we, have no desire to state; it in any exag gerated terms—to. take from it its.natiotial - support and adoption, and' make it one sect amongst many. • n that denuded state, we belieVe it would possess a greater as cendancy even than at }resent: 'it -is - not. with a -view to the party interests of the church,' that we .adkcate its inattitenanee,,but rather-for the sake of its -influence in direct as well as direct upon the 'entire community, and, la order thoroughly to., impregn.ate:tbe .character of our legislation with the spirit of Ch r i s ti an it y . ietus only know. with whom We *ha v e todeal. .Let that portion of professing 'Church Reformers,- who are .truly Chuich Destroyers, declare their sentiments honest:- ly, and then we fear not the issue of the. conflict. It is not their Strength that we fear, but their weakness—for tbat leads many of them., to, supply th e ' wan t o f strengt h . . , by ,fraud: • . We do not accuse Mr. Thornely of being a covert ene my—but should rather set him doivn as.an.open one : as g man whb must„ if he have a conscience, and the more so inproportion as that conscience' Is more ,faithful and acute—be radically and essentially hostile to the adoption and propagation by 'the government as a government, and the nation as a nation, - of what is in our estimation Christianity,' but, unhappily, in his Idolatry. We ,desire, therefore,. on 'the eve of .the impending struggle to call upon the Chri s tia n -Di ssen t ers i n ' genera l, - who - love liberty of conscience, .who lament the rank su perstitions of ,Popery, but who slinidcler . . .at the hopeless pterility of Socinianism, to weigh -w e ll the fact, that the English Church, , even with its blemishes on its head, is neVertheless, Of all religious communities, by far the most effectual opponent-of both Popery and Socinianism. We-have said 'the fact : for such it easily - shown to be —atpresent we can only touch briefly on its evidence. ; To prove the former part of the assertion, we need oak refer to the sentiments evinced tow ar d s the Church of ogland by the heads of the Church of Rome. It is well known that the high Roman Catholic party,- and spe cially the,,Court of-Rome, look most anxiously to the overthrow of the Church of England, as a necessary pre parative to the re-establishment of their own' despotic rule. It is said that On 'this account they looked 'with apprehension to the Relief - Bill, aScalculated to alienate many sincere but:. moderate Catholics from-this project, end reconcile them to the established regime of this coon.. tty. And, confessedly, thd Papal influence tends not to allay, but to foment, the spirit of insubordination in Ire land, notwithstanding the danger if incurs itself at home, from countenancing revolutionary doctrines abroad. Their view is, that if they can oVerthrow,the Anglican Church, whose influence tends powerfully to mitigate the vehemence of theological' controversy, and to check doc trinal eccentricities, .a peried of unbounded' license of opinion, of hideous variety of sects, of polemical discus sion lashed into absolute fury, will ensue: - that thisiever must necessarily destroy itself, and be 'succeeded,' in the national mind, by a period of marked religious lassitude and indifference. During thaf,lethargy resu l t i ng f rom the fatigue 6tiinhearthY excitement; •the Romish Church proposes to step -in, and tempt- the, natural' indolence of Truman kind-into- a retUrnto her communion, by offering to them the privilege 'of an absolute .refuge. un d er he r doctrine of'infallibility, and disiaissing Irma. the mind the load of solicitude caused ,y. .the respowalitities of 1 Ll:ate , inqpiry, when stripped- of the: pleasures. of excl.

In acting in this manner, ,they:-merely obeyed the dictates of that, sense of propriety which re-' gulatEs the conduct bf eyery gentleman; they. required no prompting from. without, and. we allay -be, • perhaps, allowed to say, that by such conduct and such feelings, we trust, the Standard.will always be distinguished, re gardless of the sneers or the vituperation of - the radiCal press, or its equa ll y ra di ca l an d malignante.n-re 'ponclents. WE feel greatly obliged •to our contemporary, the • Journal, for the pains he has taken to help us forwatain our course. It seems that the " clubbing of the wits of the foremost men of the Conservatives" has produeed • such a " pretty imbecile of timid dulness," that, " to read . their lucubrations, only as a task, is tiresoirie." What gratitude ought we not, then, to feel foward, one, who not only reads them, but with a - .self-martyrdom, unex ampled, devotes the greater part of a column of.his paper to 'expose the imbecility and stupidity of our review of the addresses of the various candidates ? - How fairly he has met our criticisms, and exposed their weakness -Or sophistry, we are content to leave to tke decision of Others; but we must tender our grateful acknowledge ; meats to one who has taken such pains to set us a Shin ing example, and whose pure and classic style we shall endeavour humbly .f.o imitate.. We feel thankful, that we have escaped total annihila tion • by this- literary leviathan,- who has been' at - such trouble to break a fly upon the wheel, and' has applied his forty horse -power of invective and sarcasm to crush this "abortion" of a " ridiculous mus." We are particularly. requested by the three gentlemen whose names, with so much good taste, and regard to professional etiqUette, he has introduced at the close of his interesting article, to thank him most profoundly for the station he has assigned them, namely, "The foremost men of the Conservatives," a situation which they little imagined they ocenpied, even in the Journal's estima tion. But, thus it is,—" Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Tx= certainty that the Election for Members' for this Borough, will take place in the course of the ensuing *eek, has caused the friends of the respective Candidates to redouble their efforts to, ensure a favourable result. All parties sp ea k conf i dentl Y of the success of their 'fa-. vourite, but we have strong grounds for suspecting that . all do not feel quite so easy on that score. Last week, Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas addressed -a large assemblage of the. Electors on .'Change, and rumo urs were afloat that Mr. Thorn e ly and ..Mr. - Ewart intended, On Monday,, to 'follow theirexample. . The lattergentle man seems, unwilling to exhibit himself in this way', - and Mr. Thornely, it appears, did not, on reflection, consider the Exchange the proper stage on which to figure=L-fOr, on Tnesclay.momiag,placards appeared on the walls, ad vertising for an auditory to listen to. an oration in Clay ton-square. After the crowds which .we have seen as semhted at that place on similar occasions, We,shofild say that Tuesday's exhibition was a failure, and must have operated upon the ardour. of the Candidate . and his friends, something after the manner of a . .wet blanket. The address of Mr. Thornely consisted 't4f the old com moti-places reputed for the hundredthlitne,, about the.

May they be crowned with success ! • Perhaps ttte following extract of a letter, received by me in .1820, from a man Who,.in knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, and of ancient . lan;ttages, and, let me add, in sound judgment, was not a whit behind the very chiefust.of Dissenters, I mean Dr. Adam Clarke, may not be without itsinduenceover the minds of some who have ill milt at our Zion. It was written to answer same observations on church govern ment, addreSsed by me to the doctor, and contains, I believe, his de liberate opinion, on the matters treated of in it,. The italics are the d..ortor's own. " I consider the Church of England the purest national chUrch in the world, .I was b roug ht up i n i ts b osom : I was intended, for its mi nistry. I have been a Methodist for. half a century, I have been a preacher for forty-three years, and I am highly deceived indeed, if I be note thorouLh Afeitaber of the Church of Bneand, I ts doctrines and lle saeraments which constitute the essence •of a church,- I. hold eon seientiryusly as it holds them: 1 reverence the .I.,(largy , next •to the Bilk; I proclaim its doctrines and administer its sacraments, not only in the same spirit in which it holds and aciminiAtrs them, but also in ;he same words or fornk I also reverence its orders, and highly esteem its:hierarchy ; and. have net a particle of a Dissenter in met though 19v,..e, and esteem all good men, and able Ministers wherever I find BLit I preach,'arid hive !Ong preached without any kind of EiisFora, orders.

I felt the palter of the Apostles' words Ist Corinthians, ix. 16. On this princiPle I Itaire 'acted, btit this di vine cull; fur as such I have received it, never lessened. in my mind, the human call, such as exists in the orders of the Church of Englaxd. And as, fur the reasons abore, I could net apply for it, I could not, with iny.titah and feeling, receive any kind of dissenting orders ; so here I am, without holy orders, without 'pretended holy orders, and without pretending to holy orders, preaching according to my power the unsearchahle riches of Christ; and God, in his endless mercy, has made this preaching his, power to , the salvation of some hundreds of souls, both in the three kingdoms and abroad. Now, my dear Sir, would you, even, with all your carnet and praiseworthy predilection for the orders of yZir Church, say to me, " you shonld not preach, tier administer the sacraments, because you are not episcopally ordained " Eveb now; at this age of comparative decrepitude, I would rejoice to have that ordination, if I might, with it, have the full liberty to preach Jesus, wherever I could find souls perishing for lack of knowledge. I helleVe the Methodist preachers are best calculated to lead those on in the way of hie, whom they have been the instruments of bringing into it; but, in all other cases, I ever advise, where ye cannot hat* Methodist preaching, go to the parish chinch, and no where else. Among our Dissenting brethren I am, on this account, reputed a bigot. The Methodists, as a body are not Dissenters, and, I trust, never will hi, though we are not episcopally ordained, and hold plicei of separate worship; but this has been of necessity, not of choice." In another letter on the same subject, the venerable Doctor speaks Thus We (i. e., churchmen and methodists), cannot be one body, as we now stand, but we can be of one spir i t. The church has our warm attacluneut, and if. the time should ever come, which Dieu ne plaiset that the bodies of the various dissenters were, to rise up against the church, the vast bodies of methodists would not hesitate a second to be /our light infantry. We call you mother ehurch, because our founders were elere,ymen of yonr church ; and our religious principles are those, and those alone of the Church of England, Yet sheW 'us how we can be more readily united, so•as not to be prevented from doing the work whioh God has given us' to do, and my /wad and hand shall both be with you." Such, Sit, were this excellent man's sentiments of the Church of England and such, I verily believe, would be the sentiments of hun drElds of its enemies, &they had but a tithe of the Doctor's learning and liberality. .
