&lapin enough, that no intelligence whaler's, rrspesoing

on the part of France to recover possiwaion of a retroktal
Colony, t►e/ :wild draw no objection. It is, Ward. in
einitrailietiost to the statement contained in this I:ttcr,

said that the French GovernMent telly apprised our
Ministry that a fleet would sail to relieve the French gar- I
risons in the West Indies. In whatever terms the information I
may have been given, we cannot suppose that any design
could exist to practise a deception, unless it be believed
that the object of this expedition is not at. Domingo, but
some of the late Spanish Colonies on the American
Con-
tinent. We are far from reposing with coedit! .:ice in the
declarat:ims of the French Gwernment ; the history of
the Cord, 3 Sani!aire is too fresh in our memory : but, on
the other hand, it if hardly credible that France would
provoke a war with this country ; as she knows she must
do, if she interfere by force of arms in the American ques-
tion. The experience of her invasion of Spain ought ta
here strengthened her attachment to a pacific policy. The
price, could it be I.otre ofF withcut a contest, might tempt
her to seize it ; but the combined hostdity of England aril
the United States, would in six months sweep frum the
face of the ocean every vessel in the ner.ch nary ; and
without a navy what could all Europe do across tha At-
lantic? We abstain from taking into account the unne-
cessary perfidy with which the French Government would
have stained their intercourse with the British Cabinet ;
though it is difficult to suppose that they would hare
aggravated their guilt by gratuitous profersions of neutrality,
when, with the unifies' share of diplomatic adroitness,
they might have held themselves aloof from the subject till
their purpose was ready for developement. We must add,
however, that the expedition to St. Domingo appears a
strange waste of men and money. A sounder policy would
lead Fraitm to consider that once fine end Sousishing
Colony as' utterly lust to her dominion—or, at the best,
recoverable only at an expense beyond its worth. It would
be necessary .wholly to exterminate the adult Ilaytians
before the island could again be restored to its Colonial
state. Are 'the French preparird to carry the war to this
length? They may depend upon it, that no task is less
easily performed that!, that of reducing to slavery a popu-
lation who have so recently emaneipatvil themselves. To
say nothing of what is due to humanity, it would hare
been wiser to employ the sums thus expended in indemni-
fying the Colonists of St. Domingo, elsewhere, and in
promoting the prosperity of the other islands belonging to
France. The following is the letter :
Soun after the dismissal of the Myths Commissioners, sent
to Frar.ce to negotiate the acknowledgement of St. Domingo as an
independent State, orders was given by the Frer.ch Government *a
prepare an expedition against the Island. Four thousand men,
forming part of it, were ordide.l to Beast, and there embarked on
M *deb of Atipst. The expedition then set sail to )aria Admiral
Dr re nx off Martinique, when an additional number of weep%
collected for several moths putt, were to bo taken on board, and the
whole to proceed tort. Ournini,o. On arriving off the island, it was
rot intended to undertake anything decisive in the first instance,
which the smallness of the for6zs would sot admit of, but to get
posiessiori of some string places on the healthiest put of the
coast, throw up additional fortifications. and then enter into sego.
elation, with some of the Chiefs, many of whom are still attached
to Franco. SL,uld these fail, then strong reinforcements w..uld be
sent (own France. and hostilities eonimenct, whnst the am would

We give to-day, from the Etats, a comparison of the
, situation of Protestants in France, with that of Ca-
tholics in England, written for the purpose of lauding
, the toleration of the Catholic Church, at the expense of the
Protestant Clergy. The statements are exainterated, and
will therefore not produce the effect,--in this country at
leaste—at which the writer alms. The estimate of Protestants
in France is certainly too low, and that of the Catholics in
the United Kingdom too high; and the religious policy of
Englerul towards those who diTT from the religion of
.he State is not depleted with mach candour. It LI
not a principle of English law to destroy Catholics or
Itissentere, though no support is administered to them;
and taking the converse et the propesitioo, even the
Cetholie advocate in the Finite will net pretend. that
i: is a principle of the Catholic Chureh to give aid in I
spreading what she considers to be heretical opinions. As
to the assertion, that the Protestant Clergy in the British
Empire live on the spoils of the ancient church, it is enough
to say in reply, that we hays only given to a fresh set
of trustees the funds bequeathed by our ancestors, for the
service of religion, to a former set who had grossly abused
their Irmo. In France, we are told, the Catholics have not
taken a farthing from the Protestants. It is impossible
they should ; fee it is only since the Revolution that the
latter have lived in security there. Before that period, hew
many atrocious blots are there in the history of Franee,
occasioned by the persecution's:Wl:red by the Protestants?
The Catholics have been excluded from polities! power in
this country, but they have never been anaseaered. But
whi'e we defend ourselves from misrepresentation, let
us be careful rot to excite the vindictive feelings of
either party against the other. Each has sinned in the
sp;rit of animosity during the ages that are passed. Let our
of be now to heal all wounds, and do justiee. We
wish the Catholics would be advised so more moderation
in their merle of pressing their claims, because we are con-
vineed their warmth not a little retards their succeis. The
condition of the Cethrilics is not what, at this day, and in
the present state of heroic, it ought to be. It is too
true, that " they are children disinherited by their father,
cid excluded from all marks of contidtme, and from every
pursuit which leads to hon our and fortune. They bear all
the blueing of the Scam, and slue none Of its advantages."
We slaottl6l he glad to see them matured to the fell enjoy.
merit of their political rights, and their clergy supported by
Governireta, et the Protestant Ministers are in France.
The denger to which we were emu exped from the Ca-
, tleilie religion has ceased ; and it is due to the loyalty of
their &mamma 34 Sli3jA.l3, to op n every avenue
to their lierieurable ambition. Never was there a

Handel, in his early youth. discovered such a passim
for music, as could not be subdued by the commands of his
father, who intended him for the profession of the law.
He had mad* a consiekrable progress in this art by stealth,
before he was allowed i piaster; but at seven years old
his father, finding it impossible to fix his attention to any
thing but music, for which he seemed to have been cu-
dowel by nature with very uncommon propensities and'
faculties, placed him under Zaellan, organist of the Cathe-
dral of Halle, a man of considerable abilities in his pro.
fession. By the time he was nine years old, our young
musician ass not only able to officiate at the organ of his
master, but began to study composition ; and at this early
period of his life, is said to have composed a service, or as
it is called in Germany, Spiritual Caalala, every week, fur
voices sad instruments, during three successive years.
The vary simple and well-known air. Trutt Prafi, in
Akins, which was constantly encored, was at first sent
back to Handel. by Carestini, as too trilling for him to
sing ; upon which he went in a great rage to his loilgin,;,s,
and in a tone in which few composers except Handel ever
ventured to seem a first-nte singer, exclaimed, in his
usual curious dialect, and-with his accustomed impiduo-
sity, " You tog; don't I know better as yourscluf vast is
pest for you to sing? If you sill slot sing all de sang ram
I give you, I rill not pay you chi stiver."--On a similar
occasion, upon Cuzzoni insolently refusing to sing his ad-
mirable air, luisa bn.:4ine, in nth-, he told her that he
always new sho was a ere / devil, but that he should let far
know, in her turf, that he was Beelzebub, the prince of
ilevi:s. And then taking her by the waist, swore, if site
did not immediately obey his orders, he would throw her

closeness and fidelity for which Captain Bitty's pencil is

" Maysece is the renowned birth-place of' the art of
printing. The bottle ci tiziTTlNacuo, ils titenkr, is
shown as one of the curiosities of the city, and is now ap-
propriately made use of as a pubic reading-room."
We are aware that the ineretion of the art of printing
has been ascribed by several writers to JOHN (111v:w-
-ar so ; but a discovery that should confer immortality
ought not to be incautiously assigned. All the best-we-
t:tonics:eel and most conclusive testimonies are in favour
of JOHN FAUST, who likewise lived in the house here
alluded to, then celled Zesietexc tire, but afterwards
known by the name of the y rintin;--7,nare. We have no
leisure to go at any length into ti ,j, 11111.jen. ter would this
be the place fur it ; but one anxiety to see the weevils of
fame fairly distributed, induces us lo quote an authority cr
two, sarong many ethers equally decisive that might be I
adduced, in support of Fsear's claim, which rests upon
a foundation not to be removed. We need only 'refer to
:he privilege granted by the Emperor M.sxtuteta et to

the sole priming the works of key (at the end of which
the privilege is annexed. minted by the said John S]toetii r.

praise is due to printers and booksellers who supple us

As we ouch but incidentally on this topic. the above
testimony will be sufficient for our pnrpos... %Ve may ad.!,
howev..r, as an inter% sting fact, that FAUSTUS w.smte
placed in a predicament in which few would have teen will-
ing to contest with him the honour of this discovery. !lc
printed the great Latin IliYe in folio, in 14t'a, a ^v of
which was in Dr. Metes library: it was so like mac”,
and the titles and capfuls were so finely painted cn t.,:!•-:
that FAUST sold some of them at l'aris for a
price; but the buveis futliug a greater number of them
than it was pessible fee even several men to have trans-
cribed in their whole life, and the pages of -seh co'y being
so exactly alike, he was seized aril -accused of irs,wic tr.l
r>reery, and being tried and condemned, was accordingly
dragged to tie stake to be lure ; but upon explaining his
