the German part, with neuron's and Watteville'a

1 C lON OF rgg TONTIFICATI,

lu any other age thtto the present, the Imre-
eoked seizure of the dominions and revenues of the
HoLY SEE, in other wprda, the suppression of the
temporal power of the Pores, as Princes, would
have excited astonkhinent, and attracted the at-
tention of all mankind. Bat. like Macbeth, wu
have supper* full of horrors," and are become fa-
miliarizeitsince 1789, to every species of subver-
sion. Pit's the Vlith, who so few years since
performed "the painful ceremony of crowning a
Corsican soldier of fortune, Emperor of the French,
has expiated that involuntary act of self-degrada-
tion, by his own deposition. which BONAPARTE
has inflicted. He does not, however, dare to push
his resentment farther, and to transfer the Pontiff
to Valency or Ventainblenu. Though Pius has
protested *wring this act of sacrilegious violence,
offered to the successor of St. Preto, and, as far
as he d•res, has attempted to oppose NAPOLION's
order, lye Vetaisias still et Bowe. If the Corsican
were •to fcl the impulse of his resentment,
it is' probable that the HOLY FATHER might be
committed primmer to the Castle of St. Angelo,
and share the fate of Toustztrr, of FIEREORV,
or of Vtzt.anzuvz. But he is an Italian, and he
knows his countrymen. Though unaccustomed
to the operations of war, they understand the use
of the stiletto; and enthusiasm might arm some
desperate hand against the scourge and the tyrant
of so many nations. It is beyond a question that
BON ...PARTS', conduct, in thus extinguishing the
Papal Authority. and leaving him only his ecclesi-
astical functions. lies excited a sensation of horror
throughout Italy. We see that cockades have
been distributed. and that some apprehension has
been excited, of popular commotion. If Spain is
subjected. Italy must submit. But should Murat
fail in coercing the Spaniards. we may net impro-
bably see some efforts made by the people of hems
and of Tuscany to expel the French.

came forward gratuitously to aid the reduced

remark—Mrs. JORDAN ; who has always stood
forward in the most generous manner to assist Mr.
LACY. Notwithstanding, from indiepo,ition, she
felt herself so unequal to the labour of acting, that
notices were stuck up that Miss RAY was to supply
her part in Miss Mirka; yet. finding herself some-

Mr. B•RIAM objected to this mode of intro-
ducing the clauses.
Mr. WtantiAM also objected,to so many clauses
boiag added to the Bill in such a stage. They
were added in the form of riders ; but certainly five
riders were too much for any one horse; and
therefore he thought it a vey objectionable mode
of introducing these clauses, as it perhaps would
occur, that more would be enacted by the riders
than by the Bill itself.

His speoch was received 'ay the Corps with three

etpre,i-cil their concurrence, I.y advancing to the

the ground came to the same honourable deter-
