There is much talk of a Bull which the Pope sr to the

anti extirpate the political sects whose object is to peer brow the
throne and the altar, to widelmine public tranquillity. and every
when! to spread licentiousness and murder. His holiness not
only exhorts the cirrgy, but commands them to employ all the
mean, io their power, as well to discover the sweet societies already
existing, as to prevent the formation of any new ones. The Bull is
already printed, but probably only one cony has vet been struck

LONDON, MONDAY, NLiacm 27, 1826.

The French papers inform us of the recovery of the
Emperor of Austria. The only other circumstance of im-
portance is the account given, in letters from Stockholm, of a
despatch from St. Petersburgh, in which the new Emperor
says, "that the sentiments of the Emperor Aro X.% NnEn
towards the King of Sweden are a part of tlle inheritance
to which the Emperor :Vie ;lOLA S ha; Ruceer(lvtl."

[From the Doile, dated Saturday, `2sth 31areli.]

The report of the health of the Emperor of A mtria, dated 17th
March, at eight in the morning, says... The situation of his Ma-
jesty la as favourable as can be desired. His Majesty has slept
well and composedly during the night. His pulse this morning is
perfectly regular."

To-morrow a solemn Te Dram will be vcrformel in the ca-
thedral.

To-day the theatre will be opened again. A letter from Vienna,
Pith :%larelt, says, " Our capital has resumed its usual appear-
ance. Everybody indulges in the joy which is causer: by the re-
cavery of the Prince so beloved by his people. The public prayers
v..hicb were ordered ceased to-day."
Our excl'attge to-day chews, in the most unequivocal manrer,
the state of public contitlettee. The i‘letalliquett, which the day
before y..sttrtlay were at are toatay at ; and the Bank
;Imre*, which were at t.1.2.0i. have risen to 108. It is the same
with other descriptions of stuck.
Utter* from Stockholm say, " The despatches which we receive
from the court of Petersburgh, are corceived In terms of the kind-
eta frit:o,Np. The fallowing passve has bt ohsaved with
pleasure, that the sentiments of the Emperor Alexander towards
the King of Sweden are it part of the inheritance to which the Em-
peror Nicholas has succeeded.' "

MADRID, Mmtcti 14.

The unexpected death of the King of Portugal would give
reason to be apprehensive of the public trarquillity of the country,
if the composition of the new Regency did not allay all fears on
that subject. The Princess Isabella Maria, who is at the head of
the Regency, is daughter of John VI., bk.t was always against the
projects of the Queen, her another, c whom so much has been said,
especially on the occasion of the late troubles, of which she was
the cause, or the pretext. The Princess Regent is retmakable for
her great piety, but is elnteet always ill.
The Duke de Cardaval enjoys In Parings' the highest repots.
dun for probity, &mews& and rare talent.. Ills mother was a
French lady, and sister to the Prince of Luxemburg. The other
Members ot the Regency, egpeciady the Patriarch of Mahon, enjoy
the confidence of the whole nation.

The Council of Regency is to govern In the name of Don Pedro,
Emperor of Iluz:1, which proves the non-existence of a secret
article of the treaty' wi,h Brazil relative to the absolute separation
from Portugal at the death of John VI. ; bat it is to be feared that
subsequent event* will do what the treaty has not done, since
Portugal will not consent to be a cn'ony to Beall. We may ober

A general subject of conversation in our circles is the perseverance
who which the Duke Flafautado endeavours to withdraw front
the Ministry. The Marquis de Casa-Fleres, among others, is
seJicen dos his successor. It is also said that Generals Quesada
and Campo Sagrado will be deprived of their commands in Anda-
lusia and Catalonia.
The Council ofState is engaged in the sending of an expedition
to America, which, it should seem, is to be considerab.e, being
composed of several ships of the line.
General Carvajal being nominated Inspector of the Royalist
Volunteers, his Majesty has appointed for his successor, in the
command of Valencia, General O'Donnell. who is succeeded in the
camp of St. Roch by General Miranda. General S•impere is .ap-

Marquis de Zambrano will be succeeded in the War Department
by General Carvajal.
I From the Josrual des Dehats.l
The Infant Don Carlos, on the 7th inst. having come as usual
from the Frolic to Madrid, to preside at the Council of State,
found, in Its antechamber, two oflicera of the King's gnarls, who.
on the 7th dilly, Ile 2-2., had figured in the ranks of the Cowan's-
tionalis!s. These officers had come to solicit an audience, which
his Highness refused, and, on entering the hall where the Council
of State holds its sittings, the Prince opened the business of the
day by the following discourse.
'• Gentlemen—lt was wtth much surprise that I just now found
in my antechamber two officers of the old gnarl, clothed with the
uniform of the new, who appeared in the ranks of the Revolutionists
when they attacked the Palace. The King, my brother, cannot be
aware that such men as these form a part of the troops to whom tha
guard of the Royal Family is entrusted.

After this discourse the Minister of War replied, observing. that
the officers in question haiing been purified, he was obliged to
restore them to their former situations. Upon this a long discus-
sion arose, in consequence of which the King was induced to sign
a Decree. by which the Captains General of the Provinces were
ordered to send to the Minister of War lists of the purified offieers,
showing their situations on the 20th March, 131:0, the rank to
which they had successively risen before the time of the liestors.
ion, and the proofs which they had given of their attachment to
the King. This decree is to extend to all departments of the
Goverinnent, and the Apostolical party has, in this, gained a com-
plete victory.

(From the Constitatiomtrl or Friday. I

Yesterday a young lady, whose dress bespoke a woman of fa-
shion, and who wax followed by two men who appeared to be
attached to her service, passed through a part of Park barehioted,
and holding a chaplet in her hand. She went in this way into the
church of Notre Dame and that of St. tlenerieve. This strange
exhibition excited more pity than curiosity upon her passage. The
spectators observed that she was probably some great sinner. Such
' conduct reminds us of the time of Henry 111. It seems they wish
to brink us back to that period. We do not despair of soon seeing
a procession of " 'loggers."

In glancing at the political situation of Europe, three
points only seem to have any appearance of commotion, and
these are situated at the three extremities of the European
Continent—Russia, Greece, and the Peninsula. But the
different subjects which have come on the tapis in these
countries reduce themselves only to a few general heads,
and the decision of them all will probably depend on the
same general principles. It is neither Russia, nor Austria,
nor France, nor England, that now decides the destinies
of Europe. The progress of knowledge, and the gradual
diffusion of sound views respecting the true interests of
people and of psinces, are the ruling powers on which the
influence of Governments depends. As one state precedes
another in the march of improvement, as one state as-
sociates itself with she spirit of the age, while an-
other opposes or neglects it, in so far will that state exceed
the other in influence and prosperity, and in so far will it be
more permanent in its domestic establishments, and more
secure in its external relations. It is on this principle that
our present Ministry has acted, and on this principle do
we cordially support them. The Continent is now more
properly divisible, as far as regards political interests,
into parties—such as the Congregationalists and the Con-
stitutionalists—distinguished by the difference of their
opinions, than into states, whose chief characteristic is
their local position. If we look over the whole of Europe,
we shall sec the same partiss making their appearance in
the diffisrent states, varying italeed in names, but agreeing
in principles and objects.
The principal clams into which European politicians
may be divided, in every state, are—the Revolutionists, the
Ultras, and the tuuderate Party. The fast of these are not
actually in power in any quarter of Europe. The second
arc supposed to prevail iu the cabinets of Austria, Russia,
Prussia, and Spain. The last are now at the head of
affairs in England„France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and
some inferior states. The it t volunonists undoubtedly have
their distant connexions and correspondences, and the disco-
veries which have hen nuele in Italy, Spain, France, Ger-
many, and Russia, prove tit secrolassociations exist. But
the iSevolotionists ere not the only party who have
established secret institutions. It appears to be perfectly
certain that the Ultras in' France have actually revived the
institution of the Jesuits, and have made considerable
progress in a few years in establishing their influence
throughout almost every department of Church and State,
It would seem even that VII I.Et.e, and several other Ali-
nisters, were only introduced into office to bear the respon-
sibility and conduct the measures of this party with greater
dissimulation, because they were themselves ignorant of
their ultimate object.
Some time has now clasped since the interference of
Austria in the affairs of Naples and Piedmont, and
that of France in the affairs of Spain. In the con-
duct of Austria and France, on these occasions, the
principles that had regulated the policy of Europe for cen-
turies were completely departed front. The chief point
of jealousy between France and Austria had always been
the inanence of the latter in Italy. From the time
of the partition of the great empire of C II A I:LEM A t::: s. this
haul been a cause of contention between these Cabinet*.

Lvw the settled principle~ of England werrinfringt.ll by

the violation of the ter.tit%rits of her two Allies, l'ailsoolit
and Naples, both of which have a cotntr.on intert-st with
. . .

- - - .
her, on account of their insular dominions and their situ-
ation in the vicinity of powerful neighbours, whose influ-
ence it was considered to be the interert of England to
repress. Prussia also, and even Russia, was not less deeply
interested in preventing any possible aggrandizement of
the house of Austria. Nur were the circumstances which
opposed the occupation of Spain by France of a lees im-
portant nature. It is scarcely necessary to allude to the
wars undertaken to prevent the accession of the grandson
of Imers XIV. to the throne of Spain, nor to mention
the extreme jealousy which had always prevailed on the
subject between France and England.
Admitting that all these considerations were postponed
to the dangers apprehended from revolutionary principles,
is it possible to believe that no farther guarantee was re-
quired of the good faith of Austria and France than what
appears in the documents published to the world ? IVere
England and Russia so confident of their own ability
to repress any unfair attempts, or so persuaded of
' the integrity of these Powers, as to put the prey in the
tiger's lir.gs, and trust td their own prowess or the animal's
generosity to secure its safety ? It must not be supposed
that the advantages acquired by the temporary occupation
of Spain, Naples, and Piedmont, are only to be estimated
by what is apparent and ostensible. France will not seem
to exercise any influence in the. Councils of Spain, she will
not seem to acquire any undue advantages, but there is an
unseen influence in every Government, in the appointment
to oEfie.s, in the rogulariun 'of couttnerce, &c., of which
she will avail herself. She has obtained an easy eptrance
into the country; and it is of little consequence whetln
her troops he on this or that aide cif. the Pyrennocs, if
I F.auce knowsi and Spain is sensible, tlat they way he at

Madrid whenever they think proper. "If she is strong in I
power," and is satisfied that Spain knows her to be so, it
matters little whether she be strony "in use" or not. The
same reasoning is applicable to the cue of Austria in
Pieilmout and Naples.
Russia seems evidently to have east her eye on the
northern provinces of Turkey. In this acquisition, too,
a variety of interests are compromised. The general
question about the Turkish empire opposes it, and Austria
in partiCular will be placed in a most unfavourable predi-
cament by such an acquisition on the part of Russia. That
15wcr will then take up a position which will enable her
to enveloPe the most important part of the Austrian domi-
nions, and to march her armies on Vienna from three
sides, completely turning the barrier of the Carpathian
mountains, and commanding the Danube in the most
important part of its course. All these considerations
only serve to strengthen our opinion, that the whole of these
successive occupations form parts of a plan which has not
yet been coinpletely carried into effect.
Of all the facts now mentioned Mr. CANNING is no doubt
perfectly aware, and has prepared himself for taking part
in this new system of the Great Powers, by which they
seem to intend to substitute influence for conquests. If
we look at the map of Europe, we shall find that our own
infloettea is nut inconsiderable ; for that system which
seems now to be adopted by other Powers has been ours
for ages, as Filename:a Tux GRF•T—a very good judge—
long ago remarked. Happily our influence rests not only
on power and fear, but on mutual interests, and the
" duress, of affection" (to uses term applied on a late occa-
sion.) We have Norway as a pledge for the friendship of
Sweden—formerly so completely devoted to the French
interest. Norway is hound to us by the relations of com-
merce. situated as it is on the sea coast, like Portugal, and
capable of being absolutely starved by atlockade to ere-
vent the introduction of grain into its harbours. It is a
country in which the principles of liberty are guarded
with a jealousy, and carried to an extent, of which Europe
in general has not the slightest conception ; and this cir-
cumstance alone would render it amicabl to England.
In Denmark we have at least such influence as tear can
inspire ; Hanover gives us an influence in the north of
Germany ; Holland, like Portugal, is our old and
natural ally; and the islands of Sardinia, Sicily, and
those in the Archipelago, are pledges in our hands
for preserving some power over the Councils of the
possessors of Naples, Piedmont, and Greece. The Bar-
bary states may probably be considered, in the same way,
as under our influence; but !how are not new acquisi-
tions, and there must have been some influential or other
indemnity proposed, before our Ministers' consent could
have been obtained to the measures of France and Austria.
A wide fiald had undoubtedly been entered into in the
various Congresses immediately after the revolutionary war,
and the schemes then laid down provided, no doubt, for any
changes which tnight ensue on the death of any of the
parties interested. The secret designs were entrusted in all
probability to few; but certainly to a sufficient number,
both of ministerial and royal personages, to secure them
against the interruptions, which it was so easy to foresee,
from death and from other less probable contingencies.
The same Ministers, with a few exceptions, arising no
doubt from what is shove stated, have almost invariably
attended in d? successive Congresses which have been held
since that period. The Duke of WELLINGTON, we be-
lieve, is considered to be averse from such employments;
yet lie has been sent more than once on such important
occasions. After the battle of IVaterloo it would not have
been PAF.), to have carried on the negotiations without his
knowledge, and he was no doubt one of the English. Pleni-
potentiaries admitted behind the curtain in these transac-
tions. Ibis mission to St. Petersburg, therefore, would
appear to be merely for the purpose of comparing notes
with NICHOLAS, and nothing is to be expected from the
new Emperor, but what would have taken place if the
Emperor ALEXANDER had still continued to direct the
Russian affairs. Moldavia and IVallachia, Russia will

undoubtedly secure for herself, while Austria probably will
endeavour, by cessions and indemnities, to procure a better
line of frontier. Every circumstance that we are as yet
acquainted with, tends to show that the arrangements on
this subject had been settled, at least as far back as the
Congress of Verona.
The delay of Russia in interfering in the affairs of
Greece, and the conduct of Austria in the course of the
war, may easily be sec bunted for, without supposing any
misunderstanding between those powers. It is not the
wish of any of the 'great powers to establish a republic in
Greece ; of that there can be no doubt ; but it is equally
against their wish to maintain Turkey in its present state.
Russia, by an immediate interference, could, if unommsed,
establish what form of government she pleased in Greece,
under her guarantee and protection ; but she would have to
encounter the desperation of the Turks, whose prejudices
against European discipline would give way in a case of such
imminent danger, and give them an opportunity of taking
that rank to which their military qualities would soon raise
diem. There would therefore be a chance of a war of
considerable difficulty ; and even the cordial assistance of
the Greeks could not be much depended upon, as they
would naturally have a distrust of the intentions of the
Russians. But the most important consideration that
would restrain Russia for sonic time, would be the want
of a pretence for overturning the present government in
the Morea ; it being the wish of the moderate party in
Franco, England, and Europe, that the Greeks should be
allowed to conquer their independence for themselves, if
they can. Keeping the question of Moldavia, IVallachia,
and the North of Turkey entirely separate from that of
Soutbern Greece, no interference in the affain of the latter
is to he expected, till either the superiority of the Turks
' shall have rendered such intromission necessary in behalf
of the Greeks, or till the success of the Greeks shall render
the pretence of revolutionary principles in that country
available. The present balanced state of the two parties,
supported on the one side by Austria, and on the other by
England, is certainly not by any means unfavourable to
the views of Russia on the North of Turkey.
Russia has also been supposed to entertain views hostile
to the present state of things in Sweden. She might, no
doubt, find pretences for interference ; but the gain of any
attempt in that direction would be trifling, and the danger
of miscarriage very considerable. Sweden has now one of
the best protected frontiers in Europe, and she has men
and mountains which may bid defiance to all the power of
Russia.

,
No man, who attentively considers the recent history of '
Europe, can doubt that such a change as we have de-
scribed has taken place in its political system. That our
Government has concurred in it, precisely to that extent to
which it was proper for it to concur, we think admits of as
little question : it has abstained from all participation in
any interference which could he construed into an infringe-
ment of the national independence of any European state;
but it has not hem so bliml to its duty as to engage in any
crusade for the iffevention of that which, though perhaps
not easily reconcileable with justice, will, in the end, be
found very consistent with expediency. The influential
system, supported by the combination of the great powers,
was first carried into practice by Kau NIT; the Minister
of Manta THERESA, who formed that confederacy be-
tween France and Austria, so contrary to the former poli-
tics of these States, to which Prussia, then considered a
second rate power dependent on France,—if it had not
I happily been supported by the abilities of Fe rokitic,—
would, in all probability, have fallen an unresisting sacri-
fice. The suhs,,quent partition ,f Poland was only the se-
cond effort of this system • though doubtless the first which
proved successful in its objects. The French Ite.tolution
brought the great powers still more into the practiceof acting
in unison ; and those alliances, which were then formed for
the purpose', of defence, are now continued for purposes in
which ambition has probably a considerable share. The
partition of Poland and the conquests of liosar, • RT r' had
excited too much odium to be immediately repeated, and
the scheme row devised will accomplish the same objects,
without giving rise to any feelings of degradation in the
nations thus reduced to a state of comparative vassalage.
Nor is this system so much to be deprecated as at first sight
may appear. It will tend to prevent those petty breils
between inferior strut which freottently end in n general
convulsion ; and may therefore secure the peace of Europe
for the future on a more durable foundation. As to the
supposed effects of such a system in maintaining elettrotism,
much more wcil:ht is given To tithe hypothesis then it its due.
After all, it is acknowl4xed, even itythis country, that the
liberty of the sub3ect has I better security in pubic

opinion, than in any legislative institutions or enactments;
and it is admitted on all hands that power, so far from
being able to suppress opinions by persecution, only esta.
'dishes them more firmly. We have before remarked,
that the division of Europe into parties, distinguished by
their opinions, forms at present a more important and
more powerful mark of distinction than mere contiguity
of situation. It is upon the fate of these parties that the
fate of every people now depends, mote than upon its
territorial boundaries, or its subjection to this or that
potentate—to this or that form of Government.
It remains now toinquire whether England has been so blind
to her interest as to permit Spain to be subjected to French
influence, Italy to Austrian, the North of Turkey in all
probability to Russian supremacy,an4 the states of Germany,
a: they already are in a great measure, to the influence of
Pruasia, while she has neglected to secure to herself any
corresponding advantages. To counterbalance these ac.
quisitions of theirs, the recognition of the independence of
Greece, and that of the South American States, would to
but trifling boons to bestow upon England. The advan-
tages to be expected from the latter she already possesses,
and Europe cannot deprive her of them ; and any influence
which she might hope to maintain in Greece, beyond the
islands of the Archipelago, would only serve to place her in
contact with the great military powers of Austria and Rus.
sia, one of which must and will always preserve the pre-
dominant influence in any new state which may be erected
in European Turkey. The islands of Greece would be
far more useful to us as pledges than as possessions, capable
as they are of Leing overrun, like the French West India
Colonies, in any war which we might have with the power
which might possess the continent of Greece. There is
only one point on which our views can rest for an quirt-
lent indemnity, and that point is undoubtedly Egypt.
We are persuaded that this point has been secured.
MEHEMET PACHA has no legitimacy to plead. The
course to be pursued seems obvious. Austria now preserves
that influence with the Porte which England did with the
Spanish Constitutionalists, and Rnssia and England have
only to strike the blow, the one operating a diversion in
favour of the Greeks, by demonstrations on the side of Mel-
' davia and Wallachia, which will probably have the eft: ct
of securing these provinces, and perhaps more of the
north of Tutkry, in the Russian interest; while England
operates a similar diversion for obtaining a greater degree
of influence in Egypt, which will have the eff cc of re.
calling I DRAHIM VACUA from his expedition to the Morea.
The present Ministers of France and England, and
even the majority of those of Spain, have in some measure
' been compelled into a concurrence with measures which
are not precisely those which they would themselves have
adopted. The division in the French Cabinet before the
t Spanish war puts this in their case beyond a doubt;
, and it is evident that there existed some overbearing powers

whose influence neither Mr. CANNING nor V11.1.EL6
could resist, and whose impulse they have been
obliged to follow only because they could not
avert it. If the Monarchs of Austria, Rucsia and Prussia,
are resolved to pursue a certain course of aggrandisement,
which, perhaps, is not much to be deprecatid while
that course cannot be prevented without a general war, it
is the wisest plan, both for France and England, to con-
cur in their designs—especially if, as in our case, we can
do so without compromising our national good faith. We
have never concurred in external interference with, the af-
fairs of nations, though we have seen it expedient to per.
mit it in several instances, and to allow other nations to
acquire an increase of influence by such interference; but
we should be wanting to our own interests, and to those of
Europe and the world, if we did not seek to indemnify
ourselves for the relative superiority thus acquired over as,
by casting our eyes on a country where our interre-

re,
nce trill-
be knit, as tending to overthrow or restrain
- - - -

r,
usurped and tyrannical power ; beneficial to the cowry
itself, as being likely to place a people (the Copts), a great
part of whom have a common religion with us, under a

just and egond system of law and government; and neces-
sary, in fact, fur the most important interests of th's coun-
try, as securing to ourselves the command of a passage to
India, which, in any other hands, might ruin our power
and our commerce in the East.

These are all conjectures, subject to correction from a
knowledge of innumerable facts to which we cannot be
supposed to have access ; but the principles on which we
argue are undoubted. We argue from what we know to
what we cannot know. We judge of the future by the
past. We propose to determine what is to be done
from what should be done, because we have hither
to seen that what has been dune by our present
rulers is precisely what should have been done ; and
if we could pretend to be as gout Statesmen as Tc-
sauue was a General, we might hope to arrive at the
same accurate conclusions by reasoning upon the same
principles. As it is, we have dose our best to disentangle
the maze which the transactions around us present.Kl, and
if we have in some instances discovered the truth, that
must be allowed to excuse our failure in others.

CITY, SATERDAY EVENING.

This was nearly a Dies non on the Stock Exchanges,
and the attention of speculators was drawn almost entirely
to the election of the new Committee for the ensuing year.
Consols for account opened at 771 buyers, advanced to 79,
when a slight attempt was made, but without success, to
produce a further elevation, and up to four o'clock the
market underwent no further variation. In Money Sock
there has been even much less doing, and the only quota-
tion of Consols, for the first transfer day in next week, has
been 78. The New 4 per Cents. have been at from 9.53 to
9.52, and Exchequer Bills from 3s. to Ss. premium. Th.:
smaller descriptions do not, as formerly, fetch a higher
price, the supply being quite equal to the demand.
The report, both in and out of the Stock Exchanges to-
day, is, that there will he no funding of Exchequer Vs
until une: at which time the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer appears, by his own declaration, to be pledged to sub-
mit the whole of the financial arrangements. and the Ilya:-
dation of the claims of the Bank of England.
Although the transactions were as limited in the for leo
market as in our own, still the fluctuation been were
extensive. Some real sing took place among the ht!tlers of
Greek Bonds, but the sales not having been to ary di-c.O
amount, the rilluction has not excel dell per c‘nt. Il.e
quotations of Greek Bonds on Thursday afternoon (:he la :
market day) was 181; this morning they opined at 14,
and in the course of the afternoon declined to 17j. The
business transacted in this stock being confined to a very
small circle of dealers, the disposition of the public caiin.d
be so correctly ascertained. Let the Greeks be recoen,:il
by the Turks, and, however limited their mans, there -s
no doubt that their Securities will be higher. Early in el.?.
day Russian Stock experienced a trilling advance, but re-
ceded to the former quotation. Austrian, Prussian, art
Danish Bonds, are nominally the same; the holthrs 21e•
however, looking with some little anxiety to the result of
the negotiations in Russia.
There has been no alteration whatever in the 011 Spa-
nish Bonds, but the New have b:en sold so low as 6ii cr
1 per cent. under the highest pric . of the week, but rose
per cent. before four o'clock. 'f hey have been so much.
rubbed and torn by the unfortunate h liters, that malty 0t
.
them are nearly illegible. The condition of the 0:d Buie..
is equally deplorable.
Both descriptions of French Steel: have Iren rather
heavy, at a depression of per cent. below the price ea
Thursday last.
The only variation in the Transatlantic Securities to-day
has fret) its Mexican and Colombian Bonds; hut it has
not exceeded A per cent, and are rather higher. In Ho-
z:lien, Chilian, and Peruvian Bonds there is no alteration.
Monday and Tuesday will be observed holidays at the
English and Foreign Stock Markets.

DEATII OF TIIK BISIIOI' 111.•
- .

It is our painful ditty to am: mice to the public that the
retierabla Bishop of Ihirliam 'lied at cite o'clock on Satnr-
:e; looming, at his resitleoce Cavendish-square. ilis
Li;nlship's recent a oil very advanced age, have
eatksl his friends to expect this event for several days.
Barrington was in lI'S b.:,1 Year, and was consecrated
ta the see of Lanai:if in 170. in t ;FO2 he was promoted
to the see of Salisbury, whence he tv,.s lenitive& in 1 i 91, to
that of Durham. Ills Lordship was twice married, first
Lela- Diana Leaoclei datiglitcr of Charles, I hike of
Alban's, who tl!eil in chililbed in 1766. Four years
after her death, the !'shop marri, .1 Jane, heiress of Sir
Julia Guise, of lt:uilcombe, in tle• cournv of Gloucester,
}tart., by whom li: had throe chi! Iran, velio di:d in their

infancy.
ilia Lordship was a man of great and extensive public
charity, and lino in his private attachments. In the dis-
tribudon of ins vast patronage he was guided by his opinion
of the literary, theological, and ismsolial merits of those
whom he promoted.
Ilis Lordship was uncle to the present and brother to
the late Lord ilirtington.
The cause of the Bishop's death was more the exhaus-
tion of nature than any parthitilar disease. Ile had been
for wine days inset:sink. Though his life was thus pro-
tracted, he was nut uriAiaally of v„iry vigorous constitution.
Hs is said to have underiptane an olieraiion for the stone in
his childhood ; aid so long sine:- as when his Lordship
was Illshop of Salisbury his constitution seemed completely
I.riken. At his last Cenfirniat'eia in that Diocese his legs
wet swolli n. and in solt,ir ties:he:a he was in so debilitated
a stair, that it was with he could get in and out
or his carriage ; lint a I;fe of extreme regularity restored his
constitution, and prolonged his existence to the above ad-

vend age.
The deceased Prelate, previunsly to his enjoying a seat
on the right reverend bench, was appointed l anon of
Christ Church in 1761 ; s•ul in 1;69 was nomina ;ea Canon
Residentiary of St. Prul'e. 'Ube ]Bishop was uniformly
and valously oppos.ll Yo etc granting further cancesslatis
to the Itomatil'atholics. He dreaded the possible though gra-
dual revival of their peliticol power ; and his tract against
their relkous opinions is scc- t0..41 one of the best treatises
which has ever appeared on that subject. His firm and un-
deviating opposition to the principles of our Roman Cadiolle
brethren, on no ocessior., hoivever, interf, red with his
kindness to their pen.. ais. house was open to the
French Emigrant Bislior re:3 Clergy. He supplied their
wants by his bounty ; he edmittul tl:e most distinguished
saving them to his table, and ititrotluz-.tl them to Ida fri:nds.
flis confidential agent, we have heard, was Mr. Charles
Butler; and his kinthicss ,riffere.l ou ahatetnent when the
controversy was proceeding between that gentleman and the
Bishop's Chaplains, Pr Philpotts and Mr. Townsend.
While he apprcv,tl sn.l encouraged the labours of these
latter gentlemen, his kindness to, and his confidence in, Mr.
Charles Butler. mewnained nutlimini•hial. Dr. Barrington
was not only father of the Bench of Bishops, but also of ,
the House of Lords ; and no member of their Lordship's
House was ;nor. regular his parliamentary duties, at an
earlier period Of his life, tlnto the Bishop of Durham. In
fact, this cxceremt man and exemplary prelate was strictly
attentive to his high functions in every instance, and his
Lordship's name will be remembered with veneration so !
long as sincere piety, unostentatious charity, and sound
leareitig, are regarflctl.
The noble bunco to which Dr. Barrington was closely
allied hits sustained another loss since that of the lamented
prelate. on Saturday. The 11rnout able Arthur Barringyn,
youi.vst son o. Viscount Barrio ;tun, and nephew of the
Bislity of Durham, died in Lower Grosvenor-street last
cvcuing, i.fter a lingering illness.

THE CHANCERY REPORT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Six —I have attentively perused the ponderous volume
published by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into
the delays of the Court of Chancery. and in winch many
useful regulations are suggested. Several abuses in the
practice and proceeding!' are attempted to be reformed and
abolished; but to the arrearage of judgments no allusion
is made. _

....
The Chancery process, dilatory as it is, is nothing cm-
pate' with this obnoxious evil; there is • possibility of
gtttiug the cases ripe fur hearing, and of causing them to
argued ; but, alas! with respect to the judgments there is
nu remedy—no redress can he obtained. Numbers of
causes are now tied up for want of the judgments, being
delivered—causes upon which thousands of pounds, and
the independence and comfort of families, depend. I
therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the Houses of
Parliament (as it is now too late to state it to the Com-
missioners, the report having been published) the pro-
priety of considering some means for the remedy of this
flagrant abuse, under which so many hundreds are pining.
I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant,
