a Pharisee and a Sadducee, or rather, a henna-
phroditic
mixture of the two.. As to orthodoxy,
or any other doxy, he cares not one straw
about it, further than it may be a part of
the sacerdotal system which, for reasons of his own,
he upholds with all his talents, and they afe not
small. Let people only conform externally to the
usages of the State religion—let them go to
Church every Sunday—!et them be particularly
careful to have a splendidly-bound prayer-book,
conspicuously paraded by a livery servant on such
occasions—let them elongate their faces on Wednes-
days and Fridays during Lent—let them carefully
attend to these and similar observances, and the
" weightier matters of the law" may shift for them-
selves. Justice, mercy, and charity, are to be prac-
tised only according to the canons; if any one in
the practice of these virtues, swerve from the
regulations therein made and provided, woe
to such unhappy wight, if he happen to be
under the spiritual authority of CHARLES
JAMES. It matters not whether his name be
BAPTIST NOEL, or JOHN THE BAPTIST, he
would fall equally under condemnation when
brought before the judgment-seat of the Protestant
Cardinal.

It will be observed, from our Parliamentary
report, that this officious personage made him-
self busy last night about the delivery of letters
in London on Sunday, making a memorial, pre-
sented by a number of attornevs against such deli-
very, a peg to hang his questions on. The attor-
neys are well known to be the most religious mem-
bers of the community, and this religious Pe late
affected to be amazed that their representation, ex-
pressing as it did, a pious horror of the contem-
plated desecration of the first day of the week, by
assimilating its observance in London to that which
universally obtains in all other parts of England,
Ireland, and Scotland, had not been answered, or
even so much as acknowledged! Lord MELBOURNE
was most provokingly costive, as to the intentions
of Government. The Bishop tried hard to entrap
the Premier into a specific promise ; but all that he
could get was the contemptuous answer—that
the Memorial had not yet been submitted to the
Treasury.

Madrid Journals of the 3d. inst., have reached us,
with accounts from Bayonne of the 6th. ESPARTERO
instead of turning his arms against the enemy, was en-
gaged in plundering the miserable inhabitants of Pam-
peluna. Great discord reigned in the Carlist camp.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Sundry have
been received this morning. No apparent progress has
been made towards the construction of the new Ca-
binet. The KING'S object, is evidently to gain time..
Were the Be!gian question disposed of, the Oppo. ition
would soon find the doors of the chateau thrown (Ten
to them. Nor will the delay give any personal uneasiluss
to M. THIERS, whatever impatience he may affect. H.
will be as much rejoiced as the KING to find himself
rid of a busincs only made use of as a popular step-
ping-stone to office. The remembrances of his former
political tergiversations are too fresh to allow him at
the outset to hazard the violation of a pledge ; and yet
it is no secret to his friends that M. TRIERS would not
advise the firsng of a shot., to prevent what it served his
purpose to denounce as the " dismemberment of Bel-
gium." But of the final resignation of MOLE and his
colleagues all doubt is removed by the fact that they
were to quit their official residences on Monday.
The following document from the French papers is
given for the information of our commercial readers :
Letter addressed by the Minister of Commerce to the
Commercial Chamber of Havre:—

" Paris, March S.

" Gentlemen,---You are aware that in order to enjoy
the advantage of the national treatment stipulated in the
convention of 1826, the captlins of French vessels taking
in cargoes of coals in England, for importation into
France, are obliged to bird themselves and to give bail to
furnish, within six months, the certificate of an English
Consul, declaring that the vessel had landed its cargo in
France.

" Hitherto that obligation was drawn up on a sheet of
stamped paper of the value of ss. ; it was necessary, be-
sides, to allow a commission to the merchant giving security,
and to pay Ilf. 40c. for the certificate of the Consul.
" The Government of the King has remonstrated
against it, and the Administration has decided—
" That instead of the penalty now attached to the non-
presentation of the certificate, and which amounts is all
cases to 501., the Custom-house officer shall hereafter re-
qaire a guarantee only for the actual amount of the duty,
and that it must be satisfied with the obligation of the
captain and master of the exporting vessel, without bail,
which will put an end to the difficulties experienced by the
interested parties in procuring bail in a foreign country.
"2. That the stamp duty of ss. shall be reimbursed by
the Custom-office.

"3. That the English Consuls shall be ordered not to
demand any fee for the certificate of landing.
" I invite you to commffhicate this intelligence to the
merchants of your city whom it may interest.
—(Commerce.) " MARTIN DU NORD."

By letters from Berlin of the 22d ult., we find it
announced that the Prussian Government was nego-
tiating for a loan of six millions of dollars. Advices
' from the same capital of the sth inst. state that a Re-
publican conspiracy had been discovered in Posen, in
consequence of which, numerous arrests have taken
place.
By accounts from Hanover of the sth inst., we
are informed that the KING was taken so ill on the
previous Sunday at church, as 'to be obliged to retire
before Divine Service was concluded. As no bulletins
were published, it was supposed that the attack was
merely momentary.

By the Iberia steamer, which arrived. at Falmouth
on Sunday, from the Tagus, We have received Lisbon
Papers—of the sth instant. Their contents are of
no political or commercial interest. Money was ex-
ceedingly scarce=---no novelty iti Portugal t and the
southern proVinces were overrun with bandits—an
equally common-place occurrence. No question of
importance occupied the attention of the Chambers.

though not competent to sit in judgment on naval affairs,
we have heard from sufficiently informed persons of credi-

are also 4vrar9 of .sattiq i'etY discreditable cases of favour-
and of leai/ing old officers, who have seen active ser-

have, therefore, no hesitation in joining in the very gervr4l
commendation of the spirited conduct of Captain Berkeley.
