MENTZ, DEC. 22. •
The Central! Committee for the affairs of the na-
vigation of the Rhine, induced by repeated attempts
to obtain exemption from the payment of the tolls
on the Rhine, orders the publication of the 25111 ar-
ticle of the Act of the Vienna Congress, which is as
follows :

" No application for exemption from the tolls, •r for a
diminution of them, can he attended to, either by the col-
lectors of the tolls, or even by the Central Committee, and
thin without any distinction respecting the nature, the ori-
gin, or the destination of the cargoes and goods, and without
regard to the persons, corporations, lilies, or states, to
whit* they belong, and by whose orders they are trans-
ported ;" and the Central Committee orders, that from the
Ist of January, 1818, all articles without exception, whirl,
are shipped on the Rhine, are subject to the payment of the
tolls on that river.

ADAC. DEC. 20.

A little book has been published at St. Gallen,
under under the title of " England's Imhof:try and her
Mechanical Intentions are the ruin of the Continent."
This book might take a motto out of Solomon's
Proverbs, but it must be e modest than the one
chosen, which compares it to golden apples in silver
dishes. Tney are indeed but watery fruits served
up in mean earthen vessel. ; in other words, we find
in it the every-where-repeated lamentations which the
title announces, which may have some foundation,
but is most partially represented. IVe find the vain
longing after past times, which will never return—
the foolish wish fur the revival of relations never to he
recalled—the remelt-vs malediction of mechanical
inventions, which are called a curse to humanity,
umd a reproach to g f magistrates and governors—
the inconsiderate invitation to the latter to render
this curse ineffectual, by measures of compul,nan
nod prohibitions—we find, in a word, well meant
indeed, hut empty declamations upon things which
require very different colons. Ilars.—(Aratt Gazette,

sulTzrot.AND. DEC. 9.0.
The Great Council of Berne has adopted, by a
very great majority of votes, KM a basis of the matri-
monial rode, now lrr revision, the principle that
children born out of wedlock, are to have the name,
the rank, and civil rights of the mother, and the
father (known or proved to be such) to contribute
a proportionate sum to their support. This resolu-
tion is, in fact, only a modified revival of the law
which prevailed flour] the year 1585 to 1712.

LONDON,

SATURDAY. JANUARY 3, 1818.

From the New York Papers which have arrived
at our Office, we have extracted several articles of
interest ; but we would particulary• direct the atten-
tion of our readers to the report or a Meeting
which took place on the 25th of November, at New
York, fur the purpose of providing means of sub-
sistence and employment for Irish Emigrants.
The Meeting consisted principally of Irishmen and
the descendants of Irishmen, the notice of whose
names, at this distance of time, will. by a distressing
association, recall the memory of events, which it
would be well for the honour of humanity to have
consigned to oblivion for ever. But whatever opi-
nion may be entertained in these countairs or the
delusive principles they had imbibed in early life,
it is gratifying to mark their exertions in a distant
and fo►eign land in favour of their unfortunate
countrymen ; to observe the gene►ous anxiety they
evince in rescuing the wanderers front vice and
misery ; and to trace in this: attention to the CUM.
forts and happiness of the poorest Irish, the same
spirit of patriotism that prompted thee► to actions
more elevated, though less virtuous.
From the circular letter that convened the
Meeting, it appears that the great number of emi-
grants from Europe to North America, hail been
the cause of much serious ii.convenience to the
United States, while the unfortiniate creatures
themselves, who had sought the shores of Ame-
rica in the severest poverty. and without having any
acquaintance in their adopted country who might
direct their labour to good purpose., had for the

'A l r

most part experienced the extremity of snot.
Among tf.e worst provided adventurers w.-re tLr
labouring Irish, and in the catalogue of renew t •
and inconveniences resulting Gorr the great num-
bers of Emigrants, the names of Irishmen, els might
be eriwcted from their comparatively greatti jo-
verty, most frequently occurred. An able-bodied
mate, starving in the midst of a wealthy population.
is always dangerous. The stimulants to crime
within hits and around him, aml if lir 7ields r.,
temptation for the sake of protracting existent..,
let those censure him who in a similar
had sufficient virtue to resist. It stea.s t. iv
unaccountable that the American f;:sverion. 1:t
had teever taken advantage of the great illtql1•1
within their power of correcting this evil, and
of turning the European -Emigrants to its oven
aggrandizement. The General Government lots,
ever since the revolution, been earnestly bent on the
acquisition of territory ; but it surely requires little
wisdom to know that extent of waste territory does
not constitute strength. Iu the distresses of Europe,
the United States had an excellent opportneniv of
peopling their interminuble tracts, and no policy
seemed more obvious than the upplication of
very small sums indeed in transporting emigrant
colonists to the interior, need in providing them
when there with provisions for a season, and the
implements of husbandry. It would be a cheap
purchase of a hardy peasantry, and in them, of an
inexbauttible source of strength and riches. In
some instances, those of Swiss and French compel-
tries of Emigrants, the General Government dui
indeed grant tracts of land, but they were induced
to this act of liberality by the hopes of having the
vine cultivated by the new settlers. Mr. Teostes
ADDIS EMMET, in his speech at the Meeting of
New York, says, that no such flattering hones ran
be held out in the case of the Irish Emigrants; hut
surely a hardy and proverbially industrions pea-
santry, well acquainted with the cultivation of all
the produce of their native soil, is an object worth
purchasing by the grant of come waste and now
unprofitable land. The vine and olive minister
to luxury only, but the first wants of our nature
require corn in its several species, and potatoes.
To compensate for this strange negligence on the
',art of the Government, is the object of the So-
ciety to be formed in New York, and if the Con-
gress shall assent to a proposal of these Gentlemen,
respecting a grant of some lated in the Illinois tea.-
ritory, money will be raised by subscription her
transporting the Irish Emigrants to that part of the
Continent, and there providing them with mein,.
of subsistence for the present, and of wealth and
happiness for the future.
The affairs of South America are noticed in
many of the Northern Papers. The ers.ion of
East Florida, by Spain, to the United States, is
confidently anticipated—and, as if in contempla-
tion of that event, the seizure of Amelia I 1 lsaner. by
the States is hinted at, troops have been embarked
at St. Mary's, probably for that destination.
Amelia Island, since the departure of Geeser,l
M•GREGuit, has herti a theatre of unceasing cot -
filets between certain rival partisans, sib., unite,
however, in equipping vessels for general indiscei-
minnte piracy. Some letters will be found in our e Y.•
tracts relating to Pn EYRREDO N, the President of the
United Provinces of La Plata,whose clear and manly
exposition of Isis own conduct, aid of the progres-
sive maturity of him new Republic, we lately pith-
haled. His character, however, could not ese;el,e
censure amidst the confusion of a general revolu-
tion, and while it continues in its present unaliated
violence, it is impossible to determine upon the
correctness of any representation. We Lindy
noticed the successful operations of the Pa-
triot General PAEZ, who had been reporter!
dead in the Royalist Prints. Another Ned
more important leader, who had beret killed
off in like trimmer by the same hands. use tejnice
to find, still survives, and maintains a formid-
able attitude. Accounts from New Otteillift, of ti c
18th October, state, that ‘" Mina had conducted a
powerful force to within six miles of the city or
'.Mexico; that a good understanding was expect4,l
to take plsice between the adverse parties ; and that
both north, unite in tuainta• • g Mexico as oil in-
dependent nation."

It is stated in the Biographical Sketch
St. ATIIANASIIIs. given in another part of our
Paper, that the Creed which bears his name
the opinion of the Lest and latest critics, the pr.,-
duction of some Latin author, of a later age.—
This Creed then is nut Holy Writ, as stated in
The San of last night, nor even a tumuli produc-
tion of certain origin ; and, therefore, is not en-
titled to the same veneration and respect as the
Litany or the Lord's Prayer. It was upon this
ground, while we deprecate all liberties taken wiin
Scripture for a profane purpose, we condenimd
Mr. tlons.'s trial for his parody of the Atlialiasnia
Creed. Even so far back as the reign 111:N av 11.

a diversity of interpretations has been given to the

snits not into its mind either the A postl.'s Creed

sion. The Church of Engl.niti inhibits the a hole

Protestant I:hutches admit none but the Apostle's.
These, and sillier Creeds which might be mention-
ed, are all of human fabrication ; they oblige con-
science, as far as they are cusiforniable to Scripture,
and of that conformity every man most judge for
himself. This liberty of private judgment is re-
cognised by nor Church (notwitlistsndisig sub-

-.,,m-

Prom • fl. Gam& 114y*Steal Didinary."
i NSW stmox—Visof publielhall

Athanasins (St.) en eminent father of the Chris-
tian Church of the fourth century, was born at
Alexandria, of heathen parents. He was noticed
when very young, by Alexander. Bishop of that
See, who took care to have lino educated in all
good learnitig, and when of age, ordained him
Deacon. lie took him in hi♦ when lie
attended the Council of Nice, where Alltanosium
distiseguislied I • self as au able and zealous op-
poser of the Arians. Soon oriel the dissolution of
the Council, Alexander died, suit Atliannsitis was
appointed to succeed Isom in the gaverisinciit of the
church of Alexandria. This wit, is ihr year :I Ili.
when Athattasius is supposed to have biro about
twenty-eight years of age.
Arms and some of the principal of his followers
renounced their cnnote's, and snb.rribrd to tee
Nicene faith, by which means they obtained the
countenance anti favour of the Elisprior
tine, who wrote letters to A thatinsios, itrasting upon
his re-admitting Arius into the church, and receiv.
log him into communion; but this lie perempto-
rily and inflexilily refused to do, thmigh surged
warmly by Sovereign authority, owl menaced with
the rod of imperial vengeance. 11'Isile thus he lay
under the Emperor's displeasure, his enemies took
the opportunity of bringing against him many
grievous accusations, which, however, appeared tit
the end to be false and groundless. Among others,
they charged him with threatening that lie would
take care no corn should be carried from Alexan-
dria to Constantinople ; and said, that there were
four Prelates ready to testify that they had heard
such words from his own mouth. This so much
incensed the Emperor, that lie exiled loin into
France; though some writers intimate, that this
sentence was not the effect of his re►eounent, Ind
his policy, whirls, indeed, is noire lortibielole. It
was the desire of the Emperor to remove all frivo-
lous dispute about words, to allay the heats and
al l i 11l °seises among Christians, and to restore pager
and unautimity to the church, and perhaps hr look-
ed upon Ailianusius as a great ob►t.iclr to his fa-
vourite ArrvGn, as he could by no u►eans he brought
to communicate with the Arians.

Mier the death of the Emperor, lie was recalled
by his successor Constantine the younger, mid re-
stored to iris See. and received by his people with
great joy. This Emperor's reign ism short, mid his
enemies MOW found means to draw down upon him
the displeasure of Comilautius; so the. being terrifi-
ed with his threats, he sought his safety by flight,.
and by hiding himself in a secret null obscure place.
Julius, at this time Bishop of Rome, being greatly
affected with the injurious treatment of Aihanasiii.,
sought him out in his obscurity, and took him
under his protection. He summoned a General
Council at Sardis, where the Nicene Creed was
ratified, amid where it was determined, that Atha-
mount, with some others, should he restored to their
churches. This decree the Emperor chewed great
unwillingness to comply with, till lie was
influ-
enced by the warm interposition of his brother in
the west ; for at this time the empire was divided
between the two surviving brothers. Brisig thus
prevailed lei , or rather indeed constrained by
necessity, lie wrote several letters with his awn
Band, which are still extant, to Athanasius, to in-
vite him to Constantinople, and to assure him of a
safe conduct. lie restored him, by ail edict, to
his bishopric ; Wrote letters both to the clergy and
laity of Alexandria to give I • a welcome recep-
tion ; and commanded that such acts is were re-
corded against him iii their Courts and Synods,
should be erased.

When the Emperor restored Atlaniasiint. lie told
I►ita, that these were several people iu Alexandria
who differed in opinion from him, and separated
themselves from his communion ; and lie requested
of loin. that lie would permit them to loser one
church for themselves. .1 he Bishop replied, the
Emperor's commands should be obeyed ; but he
humbly presumed to beg one favour in return, viz.
that he would be pleased to grant one church iu
every city fur such 34 did not communicate with
the Arians. The proposal was made at the suit,
and through the insinuations of the. Arians; who,
when they heisd the reply, and I►ail nothing either
reasonable or plausible to object to it. tl ght pro-
per to desist hum their suit, and snake no more
mention of it. This is one proofamong many
others, that the Asians had no reason to reproach
Athanasius with intolerant principles.
At the death of Consist's, which hapneised soon
afterwards, he was again deposed, and Constantin•
gave orders that lie should be executed wherever he
was taken. lie was reinstated by Julian ; but, be-
fore the end of that apostate's reign, was again ob-
liged to have recourse to flight fur safely. Miro
orthodoxy found o ',stroll in Jovian, and the Nicene
Creed became again the standard of Catholic faith,
Atl►anasius recovered hiss credit and his tire, which
lie enjoyed unmolested in the time of Valeinisiiiii ;
and even Valens, that furious soil persecuting
Arian. thought it expedient to let him exercise his
function a tested, because he found there was a

grelt multitude of people in Egypt and Alexan-
dria, who were determined to live and Elie with
Athanasius. Hr died its peace and tranquillity in
the year 373. after having been Bishop forty-six
years. Hi% works were published in Creek and
Latin, at Heidelberg. 1601 ; at Paris, 1627 ; at
Cologne. 1686; but the hest edition is that given
by Moinfitucon, at Paris, 1698, in three vol.. folio.
