REPREsENTATIoN OE COIXIIESTEIL—The (Essen- I
',ions among the conservative party at Colchester can no
llonger be concealed. Some. time since we stated that many
lof the warmest adherents of the tory interest had expressed a
their dissatisfaction with Lord John Manners's Traetarian
prupeusities, and were determined to withdraw their sup-
port 1,
from him. The won-papal predilections of his lord-
ship, and the :assertion of his thick-and-thin supporters that
the more protestant part of the conservatives were compa-
ratively feeble and harmless, have no doubt combined to
jasmine: the result now before us. A manikvto ha. been
published, bearing the signatur. s of 44 conservative electors,
who, " feeling strongly the importance and responsibility at.

Mr the preservati tttt of protestantism in this country, consi-
der it right to state their views as to the qualifiea-
titans they should require in any candidate who
should sole it their Totes at the next eke:tent.- The
qualifications • insisted upon refer to the main-
tenance of the pre reakttive of the sovereign as temporal
bead of the established church; to the protection of the
reformed faith against every aggression or encroachment of
popery ; to the support of measures fur the effectual sup-
pression of the use of territorial take and the exercise of
Iterritorial jurisdiction, under delegation from a foteign
power ; opposition to all endowments and patronage of
I popish institutions, dignities, and offices by the state, either
at home or in the colonies ; the pro ttttt lion of measures fur
the effectual control of nunneries and monastic establish-
ments, and the suppression of Jesuit institutions; the dis-
couragement of all attempts to assimilate the doctrines, li,r-
=dark., and ceremonies of the church of Englund to those
of the church. of Roue; and the support of all measures
that have fur their object and tendency the maincemin• e of
the essential and distinctive protestantivnt of the church and
constitutiou of this country. NO doubt other names will
be added, and thus there will be secured a nhalani in the
face of which it will be impossible for Lord John Manners
to succeed, if the pledge be tenaciously adhered M.—lps-
