We hear much from the advocates for thello-
man Catholics, of the injustice of keeping a large
poitiOn of his Majesty's subjects under cirit incapaci-
ties, and an abridgment of political rights, on ac-
`count of their particular protesiton of religious faith.
licit it is. proper to enforce thesq considerations in op-
position to such sophistical appeals to humanity, viz.
that this religious faith is contrary to t.be establishe4
religion of the Empire—that it is a matter of pri-
vate opinion with the Catholic body, who have
all thp advantage they have a right to expect, in the
most j.erfei toleration—tiust they can ivrie ito po-
lltical rights inconsistent with their d:ity .as Citi-
zens to support the Constitution in Church and
Siate—and that their civil incapacities arise front
their own peculiar religious tenets, and would be
removed if they conformed to those tests which the
wisdom of our ancestors devised as safeguards of oar
Constitution, and which our Monarch has
s,vorn to maintain. '

Mrs. MATTOCES.—This excellent g&ress and re-.
spetiable woman last night retired from the stage,
after a theatrical life of nearly fifty-eight years.—
'Her merits as an caress are well known, -and were
deservedly admired
,by the public ; but in the earlier
part of her life her talents were exerted with more
variety as she appeared with considerable advantage
as a singer, and even in certain tragic chara6ters ac-
quitted herself very respectably. In Freud) charac-
ters she was excellent, and in the Abigail class and

affeeted. coquets peculiarly spirited, humourous,
end atietted. It is due also to her charader to ob.
serve, that at no period did she ever " scant her
duty" from motives of caprice or private pique,
but was always ready,, attentive, and respectful,
The short farewell she expressed last night was
livered with great feeling, and she retire.i,with. the
gratification of very flattering applause from a nume-
rous audience.

ANECDOTE,--BERNADOTTR, alias the Prince of-
PONTE CORY°, has recently incurred "the displea--
, lute of BUONAPARTE, by the tardiness of his opera-
tions against Sweden, and unless, by way of atone-
' •'reent, he' an contrive to subvert the throne of Den-
!nark, be will probably be ordered to return in dis-
grace to prance. But this is not the 'first time,
it
.is said, that BERNADOTTI3 has offended the
Imperial Corsican, for • at the battle of Eylau,
When the Firench were driven back by the
Rus-
bians, •BUONAPARTE flew to the spot and addres-
sing BERNADOTTE, furiously exclaimed, ." Bite•
que tu est tune fais re des cochonneries
viand
,?e n'y suis
.pas." " Fool that you are, you
only ( a rrnit blunders when I am not present."
Such indeed is the manner in which the French
Ruler conduas himselt to those whom he exalt. to
Thrones and Prinpipalities, and who know they de-
pend upon his nod, and may in a moment of anger
or caprice be reduced to their original insigniticanse.
PORTICAL GARDENER.—KoTzrntiE seems to have

ItERLANI3, on his return from Scotland, railed at Cor-
by Castle, the seat of Mr. liownan.—Tlie family be-
ing from home, the Gardener shewed his Royal
highness the curiosities of the place, and As they pass-
ed by the statues, observed-r-" that, having a
Poetical genius, he had,written some lines on every
