most ingenkius preacher I ever heard : It
is worth while to go twenty miles to hear
him.” He then repeated a passage to
wards the cloe of his discourse, which he
had heard. •* After a solemn pause, he
thus addressed his numerous audience : The
attendant angel is just about to leave the
thi eshold, and ascend to Heaven. And shall
he ascend and not bear with him the news
of one sinner, among all this multitude, re
claimed from the error of his ways#”_
To give the greater effect to his exclama
tion, he stamped with his foot, lifted op his
hands and eyes to Heaven, .and with gush
ing tears, cried aloud, “ Stop Gabriel ! Stop
Gabriel! S'opere yon enter the sacred por
tals, and yet carry with you, the uews of
one sinner converted to God.” He then, in
the most simple, but energetic language, de
scribed what he called a Saviour's dying love
to sinful man; so that the whole assembly
melted into tears. This address was ac
companied with such animated, vet natu
ral action, that surpassed any tin g I ever
saw or heard in auy other preacher.”

“ An attack was made about the last of

Mole. General Veillard, who succeeded J
General Lemarre in the command of that |
place lepulsed the enemy with great loss;1
they left on tue field six hundred men, a

Veillard is a young officer of great courage
and conduct——and ’here is no doubt of his

Christophe. The Mole has four months
provisions, and the garrison in high spirits.
Gen .ral Petion is preparing to march a

will terminate the power of that monster,
Christophe; who, 1 find by some of your
late papers, has, through some of his base
agents, published accounts of victories he

On to the throne of . his ancestors. A late
account, brought from the vicinity of the
Elbe, but for the authenticity of which we
cannot vouch, mentions that Gustavus, in
consequence of having ventured to the shores
of the Baltic, was seized by order of the
Tyrant, and pu into a state of imprison*

we have no hesitation in saying, that the

fact, which ought not to be suppressed, as
She'ing clearly the imr.gues of Bonaparte

the bwedish Throne : the Orebro Gazette
is under the superintendance of M. Morville,
a native cf France, and who was placed in
that si'uation at the particular tequest of
the Fiench Consul. This is the paper
which contained the encomiums on General

which will secure it from every wind that

That in a re'cent and unexpected calami
ty we seek for new remedies, and that in
determining upon them we appeal to the
iaith and aid of all, we must be justified in
your opinion, either by the cruelty of the
times itself, or certainly hy that charity of
I Christ, which impels us. For now “the time
| is, that judgment should begin at the house
ot God.’ (1. Peter 4. 17.) We must therefore
listen to the words of God and of our Lord
concerning the distant times of those, who are
his own; “ When you shall see the abomina
tion of desolation, standing in tlie holy place,
—then let those, who are in Judea, fly to the
mountains. Hut pray that your li ght may
not bo in the winter or on the Sabbath, if
therefore they shall 3*y unto you, Behold
(Christ J is in the desert, do not go out ; be
hold he is in he closet, do not bidieve it ”
(Matt. XXIV. 15, 16 20,25, 26.) Here
lie warns his disciples ot the necessity of a
re Hi oval for a while, not from the faith and
expectation of salvation, but trom the
ear thly dwellings of tbcbfelicVers St from the
holy temple itself, nntil the judgments of the
Lotd may lie fulfil ed ; that they were to
pray earnest Jy, that heither the established
law, of the times nor of the religions may
shut the road to flight and safety; and that
after our good master and shepherd is
snatched away from obr sight, we may not
thenceforward assume his authority, by
which all things are exposed to vain error
and toul deceptions This oracle ol the
highest preceptor is extended even to these
times. For we also have a temple, which
cannot be violated by the impious,in.o which
the High Ptiesi Jesus, the author of our
priesthood, hath entered, in his blood of the
eternal testament. We have also earthly
seats, associated to and images of those holy
Ones ; sve have also lows, by which the
whole commonwealth ot Christians is bound,
of which law*, the first and highest is this,
that we should be one in faith, sacraments
And charity.

but to exterminate from the people, the mo
numems of Christ upon earth, and the last
hope of his kingdom.
What however has recently been done is
not unknown to vou, venerable brothers—
Hope Pius the 7th. a man the most upright,
innocent and holy, has been basely captiva
ted and carried away into exile and impri_
son men t ; so that henceforth the right o!
command in holy things is to be sought in
military lust and intolence, or is it to be me;
by every lawful resistance. And truly were
it permitted in a Christian to drive an old
man out of his house, his count! y, to
dash down an innocent bishop, to deprive
the church of her patrimony, to harrass me
rit with contumely what can be unlawful ?
|If it was not wicked to deceive Christ by
‘perjury, to spit upon him when bound, to
, plunder him when suffering, what can be
[.thought the most atrocious impiety ? But
jail are affected by this last injury, that
which is of the highest interest to the church
and to the human race, being supposed bb
noxiocs to one alone, he would, compel us to
appear to wish to be separated from the Ca
tholic unity, or to abet the enemies of the
;Eritisl\ empire, whom by the admonition of
[Christ, by the faith of an oath, and finally
by the love of country, we are bound to op.,
pote, hot only with our counsels and exhor
tations, but if necessary by shedding our
blood and with our liVes; and that Hus pri
mary duty of a Christian sliali be fiifilb d by
us wC most sacredly promise, and call on
God aud you to witness.
These matters have been acted upon in
our general convention held at Dunlin, and
it was resolved that onr sentimen's should
be so expressed, as to make it manifest that
we have been bo h Solicitous for the uniiv of
the church and the honors of l^uft the 7ih.
aud at the same time, that wished to
provide against those dangers which are
feared. Therefore, the following points have
been discussed, adjudged and determined as
a perpetual memorial of our sentiments. ,
Whereas the most holy and glorious Pope
PiusVlI having been taken away from his
own residence by military order and force,
without any crime ..t his own, and commit,
ted an exile into custody ; and whereas it
may be feared, that overcome by solitude
and misery the mind of toe -aid Pius may
be impelled, and he may bv compulsion ab
dicace his office, the highest in the Church,
and forced to subscribe his name to such ab"
dicuion, as if it tvere voluntarily and freely
made : 7
Wherefore, we, by common consent, ha.
ving considered the premises, hereby reject,
abjure, deest declare void aud toevery ef
feet of law, cancel the bulls genuine or pre
tended, rescrip's of every kind whatever.
Letters in the form of Briefs, in whatever
form conceived, if any such should declare
the cession, dismission or abdication of the
I apacj in the name of Pitis the seventh,
until he shall be restored to the free exercise
of tis office and jurisdiction, and until the
recovery of that liberty shall be made known
not by cessions only, approbations or con.
nrmations, bui by indubitable proofs.
And if the most holy Lord Pope Pius the
Vl 3. even under a mitigated custody, shall
cede or shall have seemed to cede as afore
said, we declare that such cession is, was aud
will be null, and the years of his Pontificate
only will be reckoned, the abdication being
unacknowledged. °
If the same Lord Pope Pius the VII, be
mg in enstody, as he now is, shall exchange
hie for death, we decree the Apostolic See
shall be considered vacant, until a lepiti
mate, holy and free election of the Sovereign
Pontifshall be fully and canonically proved
to the Churches in Ireland.
These things we decree and pronounce in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in
the Unity of his Spirit, and ift the faith of tile
Catholic Church.
These our proceedings, as you see, tend
not to subvert the prerogatives of the Holy
bee, which supremacy obtains in the
Church, but that we may vindicate its per.
petual authority from injury and infamy'
and that the cement of Unity, founded by
Christ in his Churbh, may nm be dissolved
by tyranical frauds, to the subversion of faith
and of the public peace, with the deepest
degradation df the Apostolic See.—Wnere"
fore we commend our deliberate sentiments
to your frater nity, and we pray for the sake
of Christ and ot his body, that it your si'ua
tion do not allow you to follow our example,
you may afT. rd thfc aid of your prayers_Fa e
