_

On the 17th of this month was received at Eisi-
near the strange intelligence from Sweden, that
Admiral Saumarez has entered the port of Carts-
cron3, with five .hips of the line and some frigates.
While we wait the confirmation of dii, news, we
are lost iv thousand conjectures. with respect to
the probitle causes of this unexpected event. It
is asked whether the want of fresh water obliged
Admiral Sauruarez to enter a Swedish port? whe-
ther he means to make a long stay there ? or whe-
ther he has some motive of still higher importance,
which we cannot yet divine ?
We understand, that according to a secret arti-
cle of the treaty of Schoenbromi, a contribution of
eighty-four millions of florins remains to be paid to
the French Government.

EXCOMMUNICATIoN OF BONAPARTE.

Ma. EotToo—Since the wise men. at the head

of their own department, have been pleased to busy
themsekes about matters which certnialy ilo not
Concern them as Statesmen, and have put them-

selves to some little tronlile, °trim to inform the

world, *heater the starlike Brinsparte he really cx.
communicated or n•)t ; it may he agreeable to your
readers, to know, through *• Catholic Clergyman,
what Catholics think or that instrument of his
Holiness the Pope, on which Ilis Majesty's Minis.
tero seem to 'place so much reliance.

!in the tirst place, then, this eapal Brief, of the 10th
of June, Iso9, admitting it to be authentic, does
sot contain an excommunication, in the strict and
common sense of the word, but only excludes the

Sacraments of the Chore.), a..d thus it is only a
Sv.ameutal Excommunication.

as there also is in the Protestant Church, requiring
• every one to resent of their had deeds, before they
il.preacli to the Tali!e of Communion. In the
order for the adminisirat;on of the Lord's Supper,
in the Common Proyer- Book, err read in the second
clause,"And if nay of those be on open and notorious
real liter, or Aare done any wrong to his neighbour,
the t'urnte shall eat( him, and atteertice Mot, in
soy wise, he priNftrie Not IN COMP So the lord's
Table, until hi openly declare to hate truly
repented, and as ruffed," ?re. Anil ut the warning
for Communion, the Curate soya, " If say one loath
11t a iuiet cowl-renew, let Aim felt*. to Me, or to some
other discreet and lentnui Minister of God's word,
'wed open Ais grief, that, by the ministry of (hes
holy ward, he la ay receive the benefit of.lbsolritims*,"
see. Now, Sir, it is exactly the same. Imo of cons
