A courier who arrived front Christiania on the

out paying any regard to the proposition of a Con-
stitution made by the King, has adopted, by a
majority of two only, the same resolution rela.ive
In the abolition of the Aoblesse in Norway, as the
two former Diets had done. However, this Reso-
lution cannot have the force of a law until the
Diet shall have fulfil:eft the dirpositimis of the
laith section of the Constitution, which guarantees
an indemnity to all those who have made a sacrifice
of their privileges for the public good.

Intelliovnee relatively to the recent outrages at
Constantinople. which has been received in this
capital. says, " Such was the furious exasperation
of the Maimlinen, that the Foreign Ministers
Were in imminent peril. A considerable multitude
(thirsting for the blood of the Greeks) surrounded
the residence of the Russian Minister, and menaced
to take possession by assault, if a Greek family,
who had taken refuge in it, were not delivered up.
M. de Strogonoff displayed equal dignity and reso-
lution on this occasion. He appeared. with his
suite, in the balcony of the hotel, and publicly
declared, through the medium of his interpreter,
that he would consider any hostile attempt as a
provocation to war directed against the Sovereign,
his master, and lie would instantly take measures
accordingly. This firmness of the representative
of his Majesty the Emperor Alexander had the
desired effect, as the Turks immediately withdrew."

AMERICAN PAPERS.
NEW SOUTH ICELAND.
The Russian frigate Wostoek, Captain .liellen-
housen, and a sloop of war, were at New South
Ireland in February last, on a survey.
Captain Henfield, of the Catharine, writes from
New Shetland, February 11 :
We have been much mistaken about sealing is this
country, as there is hut little ground that the seals come
upon, and a greater number of vessels after them than we
supposed there would be. The country is a wild, cold, dis-
agreeable manor snow and ice, and its shores are extremely
dangerous. In entering this harbour the ship Clothier
attack on a reef of rocks and was totally lost. The following
persons belonging to the Catharine, were drowned by the
upaetting of the boat, at Falkland Islands—Henry Perry,
Thomas Pomeroy, Nahum Haynes, Lad Cury Maachester."
A letter from Mr. Daniel W. Clarke, mate of
the brig fieriilia, of Stonington, to the Editor of
the New Haven Journal, dated at Port Williams,
New South Shetland Islands, February 18, fur.
Ashes the following information :
" We arrived at these Islands on the 31st of October, after '
S pleasant passage of 8b days.
" We are now loaded with fur skins, baying taken up-
wards of 18,000 of seperior quality; but being anxious to
obtain a second voyage before I return to the United States,
we have agreed to send our cargo house by the schooner Ex-
press, and brig Frederick, Pendleton, both of Stoningtoo,
then to proceed around Cspe Horn sate the Pacific Ocean, in
search of a second cargo, which I doubt not will be obtained
soon. As for getting another carte in these islands it is ut-
terly impossible, (or there is scarcely a seal left alive. The
country is fall f vessels from most quarters of the globe,
and I am Cretans that one half of them will not obtain half
a voyage. Our tieing the first vessel in the compote', and
getting possession of the best ground, is the reason why we
succeeded in a valuable cargo.
" There are now lying in this port 12 sail of American
vessel% ; among the number is Hie ship Huron, Davis, or
New Haven, who has made out rather indifferently. Where
they are next bound I am not able to ascertain ; but they
as well as ourselves must push off soon, on account of
the severity of the approaching season. There is scarcely
a day passes without meow, hail, ur rain, although Mid-
summer with us, and ice makes every night ; in truth
It is a climate I am glad to leave. We have already
tad accounts of nine ail of English vessels being lota in
these island., and one American ship called the Clothier,
from Stonington, Conn. How many others are lost that we
have no accounts of. God only knows.
" Perhaps the American dealers in fur skins have an idea
that this country will be overstocked with skies, and that
they will be bought for little or sothing; but I can assume '
them they will be mistakes; for 1 am certain at least six
sail of American vessels will be obliged to seek for a cargo iu
some other parts.
•• This harbour lies in about 62 deg. 30 min. S. lat. and
63 deg. 5 min. W. longitude. We have been as far *oath as
46 deg. and found land. How much farther Ilse lands extend,
I know not. It is entirely revered (except the low land and
beaches where the mats COW up) with snow and ire, at this
season of the year. which ts the middle of summer."—

SARDINIAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL.

It will afford the Catholics of this metropolis MOM
sure to lose, that the Sardinian Chapel, in 11-1
fields, having undergone a complete repair, will be megalled
for divine service 10-morrow, Sunday, the 10th hod. 'VIII
chapel is the first, we believe, that was used for the Cat m&
worship I. Elegised after the reformation of religion=
18th century, and was founded during the reign of
Elizabeth. Sincere Christian of every tirsoutination esonnit,
we presume, but feel some interest is an establishment
which, after maintaining itself through so long a perkid of
.itairalty, experienced at length, ender the beneficent singu
a George 111. not only protection, bet support, and whisk
after being levelled to the ground during the disgraceful
• riots of the year 1780, was re-erected wider the immediate
' auspices and authority of our late marl...respected and
' lamented Sovereign. . _

Solvated in the most central point of this great wieiropolis,
still supposed to contain more than fifty thousand awistiaaa
attached to the ancient faith of England, but whose places
of divine worship being legally prohibited from eadowment,
necessarily depend upon the casual support of the public,
we are confident that a proper feeling will be excited
in the breasts of our feeders., and that Protestant will
unite with Catholic in affording aid and support to this
ancient and interesting remain of the religious worship of
their common forefathers.

GRIER'S REPLY
TO DOCTOR MILNER'S END OF RELIGIOUS
CONTROVERSY.
• We lately directed the favourable notice of our
readers to Mr. Grier's very able production, and
at the same time anticipated that it would quickly
command a very high estimation in the literary
world. In this expectation we have not been dis-
appointed. We understand that among the
Clergy of the Roman Catholic Church in particu-
lar, the work has excited on extraordinary degree
of interest, and that many of their most distin-
guished divines have nibbed their pens to defend
their doctrines and observances from the vigorous
attack of this active assailant. The prosecution of
such a controvery. where the matter at stake is of
such high importance, most excite the mostuoxious
interest among all classes of persons, but more
especially among churchmen of every designatiou ;
and it will probably, as it advances, call forth the
exertions of the moat distiuguished champions of
the grail kindred churches. and also of the various.
other sects that unhappily divide the Christian
world. This we anticipate from the character of
Doctor Grier's work, for although in its title it
seems to be directed principally, if not exclusively,
to a refutation of the principles that distinguish
the Church of Rome, as opposed to the Church
of England, it io point of fact is not confined to
this object. hut attacks with equal force and
vigour the doctrines of the Calvinist., the Wes-
leyanv, and of tlahe who deny to the reat Author
of our religion the attribute of diviuity.
We cannot at present dismiss the subject with.
out referring to an observation that was made some
short time since, respecting Doctor Grier's book,
in the Courier newspaper. The writer in that
paper, while he bestowed very just and ample
praises upon this publication. observed, that in
discussing the principles of the Roman Catholic
Church. it furnished many irresistible arguments
against the expediency of admitting Catholics to
places of confidence and power in the State; bat
between the religious doctrines of the Roman Ca-
tholics. and the question of their political rights,
there is no connexion whatever. The former may
still be made the subject of fair and manly coutro.
verse brtwern the divines of the rival Churches, with.
out involving any angry political feelings, which the
consideration of the latter too frequently suggests.
—lf the cause of the political differences were re.
moved, the question of religion alone would then
be fairly placed before the disputants, and the
doctrines of the Roman Church would stand or
fall by their native strength or weakness. Insteed,
therefore, of giving a motive to exultation at the
defeat of Mr. Plunkett's recent measure, the tsp.
pearance of sack a work as that now before us
ought to inspire the Protestants with confidence;
for of this we are assured, that in any future contro-
versy between the rival churches, the doctrines of
the Established Church of England can have no.
thing to apprehend, while they are supported by
advocates possessing qualifications so eminent its
respect of talents, learning. and industry, as have
been evinced by Mr. Grier in the production of
this valuable work.

IRELAND.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Drum Ann 'I.

CAILA N. MACNAMARA.
The judgment of the Court was delivered in this
case yesterday. Judges Pletcher, Moore, and John-
son were of opinion that the verdict could not stand.
Lord Norbury differed from his brother Judges,
but the majority being against the verdict, it was
accordingly set aside. The case will probably go
to a new trial.

With mingled feelings of horror and astonishment,
we announce the circumstance of • slave having,
in • moment of desperation, destroyed himself, by
cutting his own throat. This unhappy man was
sent up from Dorchester county, iu this State, by
his master for sale ; and sold to a trader. Horror
seized on the mind of the black ; and the force of
his mental suffering, when anticipating his future
hardships, overpowering his reason, he resisted the.
attempt of a constable to force him from the packet,
and, on Light.street wharf, with the fatal knife,
released his agonized roul from the ignoble body,
which held it in durance vile
