Lord CAST LF.Ii EA oti arrived at Arnheiin on the 9th, and
-arter taking refreshtnent, proceeded for Frankfort via Doill-

burg.

From the Rotterdam Courant, of the 130,.—" An eye wit
ress relates the following:—When the Field Marshal Prince
Schwartzenberg observed the defeat of the French, after
three days fighting, at Leipsic, he was anxious to
,convey
the tidings himself to his Sovereign, who, together with
the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, were sta-
tioned upon a height, about two miles from the field of bat-
tle. The Field .Marshal galloped up at full speed, and salut-
ing the Emperor with his swot d, " Your lthjes y, the
battle is at an end; the enemy are beaten at all points—they
fly—the victory is ours!" The Emperor raised his,eyes to
!leaven, aed a tear wa, his answer : but his Majesty dis-
rnountin;T, and having deposited his hat and sword on the
potted, fell on his knees, and aloud returned thanks to God.
This example was followed by the other two Monarchs, who,
ha% irg also kneeled, said, " Brother, the Lord is with you !"
At the same itistaet, all the Officers in attendance, as well as
the guard, kneeled down; and for sevetal minutes a dead
silence leigned; after which, more than an hundred voices
cried, " The Lord is with us !" The sight of three crowned
heads, accompanied by a great number of distinguished
warriors, kneeling under the canopy of !leaven, and, with
teats, praising the God of Battles, was most affecting."
The following anecdote does honour to the sentiment a!'d
feeling of the Russian army, and its Commanders: ‘Vhile on
their march between Rastadt and Baden, they arproaclted
the place where the great Turenne was killed. The 1.0 leSs
illustrious Moreau had, in one of his campaigns, marked
the spot lov a simple monument. In front of this monument
the Russian Imperial Cunt ds mounted a guard of honour.
during the whole of the twenty-four hours that the troops
wet e passing. The march while passing the monument Was
conductcdwith drums beating and bands playing. Thi, an-
ecdote may he relied on, and would, of itself, be a refu-
tation of the odious epithet of barbarianism, with which that
real bat harian, Bonapaite, has dared to designate hi con-
querors in the 'told'. _ _

General W ittgenstein, when asked, after the battle of
Leipsic, his opinion of Congreve's rockets, is said to have
thus charactelised them :.—•• They look as if !her were made
in Ilell, and surety are the Devil's own ariillerv."
It is said that the Russian General Czernichefr, upon
bearing that Lord ‘Vellington WAS in want of light cavalry,
had ()Were() to undertake the bold enterprise of traversing
Fiance with a eomparativyly small body of that species of
force, in older to join his Lord,hip.
A body of 3,000 Cocsacks is said to have been sent, from
Geneva, to join Lord Wellington.

REFUTATION OF PETER GANDOLPHY'S. TATE PRE-
DICTION RESPECTING THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

( Resumed aNd Concluded).

The present era was proudly supposed to deserve the dis-
tinction of being ' the age of reason ;' a distinction which,
although it has been in pert abused, is, on the whole, more
honourably characteristic of this age than of any preceding
one, Fot ce is the empire of the brute ; mind she uld be the
empire of man. Even the supporters of systems which
were understood to be superstitious, and who formerly avoided
the collision of truth, have of late years coedesceuded to
Make their ;Trent to facts, and seem content to abide by the
event. it is just, therefore, that Mr. Candoll-hy's anticipation
of the utter Extirpation of Protestantism, including the
Downfall of the Church of England, should ohtain that at-
tent!on which so momentous an assumption wits calculated
to excite.
Whatever may be the opinion of catholics on this head,
however, there are few protest:tilts who will subscribe to the
position of Their church having incurrf.d the guilt of chriqiati•
schism by its secession from that which Mr. Gandolphy is
pleased to consider as exclusively deserving the name of
catholic. Will it he denied, for instance, that the ecclesias-
tical constitution of this country is not exactly conformable
with the ancient Apostolic Chute!), established previous to
the predicted epostacv ; such, in f t, as that Church was,
abort four hundred y ears af-er Christ, when the Divinity
of the Redeemer and the Ttinity of the Godhead were pro-
fessed articles of faith, and when the distinction of bishops
and presbc te.s was recognised ? What do the states of Re-
formed Christendcm exhibit but a harmony of confessions
on the great points of faith, and an agreement with the sym-
metrical aees of the I hurclo Do not the articles of the
Cherch of England, especially, speak the sense of the ancient
arostolic dm, ch • being reformed to tl at pattern, before
corruption ensued. 1)0,11 in respect to its d'scipline and
creed) The established church of this country was, indeed,
reformed ; hnt it was not revolutionized. Devoutly anxious
as our spit-teal regenerators were for the reformation and
purification of the national church, their proceedings were
uniformly reoulated by the most scrupulous recurrence to
of iginal principles. They are censured by their oppugners.
for having, done too little, not having effected too flinch.
adverting to this topic, it is wel observed, respecting thq•
Chute!) of England, that its pi esent " establishment was tho.
rent' of long., deep, ard severe investigation. It was not,
affirms the Rev, Dr. Valpv. " as it has been often objected by
the enemies of the Reformation, the casual effect of the pas-
sions of Henry the sth. The materials for the de,ti uction of
the system of corruption in doctrine, and abuses in practice
had been forming- during many years; he him !f had ea'
endeavoured to prevent their accumulation. The pile
at !ellg,th completed, and he hi ought the totch
dually erected the nonfla,gation ; but his hand was
instrument of the will cif 'he people. To coil, Ct the em
