TIM SHIABORNZ CLERGY.

The Rev. J. C. Colvila Husband, one of the
Ellierborwe dorm hos addressed the following loiter to
Dr. Williams of that town:

TO W. BILVIIT WILLLIMS, ZSQ., M.D.
Sir,—You complain of your couptieg the name* of
"m&nisten of an denomioatious" with the bishop and
clergy of the diocese In a toast given by you at a dinner of a
beoelit society being considered disrespectful to the bishop
and clergy, sad you say that in giving that toast you did
"not call upon the clergy to recognise the teaching of any
form of error."

Here I join issue with you. I consider that calling lay-
men, and won,, schismatic teachers, "ministers," is
aeknowledgiog their several forms of error to be branches
of the church of Christ, when the Holy Scriptures call
such the followers of Horeb, Dathan, and Abiram, the
iadlorlabus— bee. .Tharatodthoevierrt:gt:intgeoterinatrar7
to
controvenia' 1 works, citations from which would take up
too much time for quotation in a letter ; therefore 1 shall
merely quote one or two passages of Holy Writ, speaking
plainly to all but prejudiced, warped, and ignorant minds,
the same truth :—"Thew be they who separate them-
selves." "I am of Paul, I of Aponte, lof Copies.*
"Having itching ears heap to themselves teachers." Could
there be a plainer prophecy of the future appearance in
latter days of Independents or Brownists then this latter?
Is not the heaping to themselves teachers the distinguishing
mark, yea, the boast of your sect of schematics, "the grand
Independent principle.
Sir, you well know, however much you may endeavour
to shuffle over it, that the form of toast you gave is an
innovation here, whatever Jew lord mayors in London, or
worldly, or dissenting, or loose, self-called churchmen may
have done at Salisbury (for those who can break their
church's rules, and feast and drink toasts is the penitential
season of Le.t, I can well conceive guilty of such an action).
Your pity is all rant, the usual twang of schismatics.
As I cannot even for politeness' sake conscientiously con-
sist to acknowledge schismatics as sections of the church
of Christ, so likewise 1 can see no assumption in the
duly ordained ministers of the church considering them
(as in duty bound) mere laymeo who have taken upon
themselves to falsely call each other minister' of Christ's
church. Assuming a character to which they have no claim.
Sir, I would "maintain and set forward, an much as lieth
in me, peace and love among all Christian people." But
who are the aggresson? You, air! and your sect. Who
was it in August last that, with blatant bluster, misrepre-
sented and falsely stated circumstances throughout the
length and breadth of the land? Who? Why, sir, (you're
mealy-mouthed when it suite your occasion) Independents,
Ba Badness, Mormons, et Aoegeetuaoetne
laugh Bach cant is sickening from snob a soriume. (Se.)
—I am, yours, faithfully, J. C. Cot vinn RIDIDAND.

who is the bearer of the affirmative reply of the
cabinet of Vienna to the last communications of
the Western Powers, is expected to arrive in Paris
this morning. Prince Metternich will reach Paris
from Fontainbleau at shoat noon to-day. The
ambassador will immediately call upon M. Drouyn
de Lbuys, in order to officially communicate the
despatch of the Austrian government, and leave

The Memorial Diplomatique also announces that
the Duchess de Grammont, wife of the French
ambassador at the Austrian court, has just embraced
the Roman catholic faith. The duchess made her
abjuration before Cardinal de Lucca, formerly
nuncio of the holy see at Vienna. Her grace is the

Mackinnon, and member of the British parliament.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Joss 13.

The Norddeutoehe Zeitung of to-dOy says :
" The King has neither received the deputatlos •
from the Town Council of Breslow, nor accepted'
the address which had been illegally voted." The
same paper also says :—" The addresses and peti-
tions of some meetings and town councils, even
without taking into consideration that they have
transgressed their privileges, are partly of a nature
to render their publication objectionable, in view
of the law on the press. It does not appear super-
fluous to state this in the interest of the press."
The Neue Preussische (Krenz) Zeitung says :
" The assertion that some negotiations had been
entered into with the Crown Prince in the view that
his royal highness should provisionally act as the
representative of the King, is a pure invention"
