e inhabitants of South America.

It possesses considerable interest for the English
Reader, as it must naturally lead the mind to
the subject of Catholic Emancipation.
We perceive already there are not wanting
those amongst the friends of the Catholics. who
would wish to construe this document in favour of
their own views, and as presenting additional
reasons for acceding to the claims of the Catho-
lics. In one point of view and one only, how-
ever, can it be mode to answer this purpose, and
this is, that if such are the sentiments of the
Mexican Catholics it might be reasonable to sup-
pose that such would also be the sentiments of
all other Catholics ; and if the State of Mexico
has nothing to fear from the POPE, the State of
England has still less to apprehend.

The whole bent of this document is to establish
a distinction between the spiritual and temporal
authority of the Pope of Rome, and whilst the
former seems to be admitted the latter is most
broadly denied. The denial, however, of en
authority by the Government of a people is no
proof that the people do not imagine such an autho-
rity to exist, and indeed such a declaration would,
in very many cases, by the spirit of opposition
alone,create a notion of the very authority the Go-
vernment had repelled. If the circular letter had
been written by the Mexican State, and the address
in reply to it by the POPE, it might have given
some force to the argument, but as it is, as far as
the Catholics are concerned, it can only be re-
garded as an unauthorised declaration, and there•
fore entitled to no respect from them. Thus much
for the grounds upon which this document can be
taken as the manifesto of Catholics in general.
But giving the Catholics the benefit of this
admission, what does it amount to ? Nothing
more than has been all along admitted, nothing
more than the very sentiments which the op-
' posers of the Catholic Claims have all
along advocated and maintained. They have
contended throughout for this distinction, and
this once established, a necessity for the abro-
gation or even alteration of the oath of
supremacy does not exist. This oath merely
binds the deponent to the belief that the King of
ENGLAND is head of his own dominions, and we
really cannot think that there is any thing tyran-
nical, bigoted, and all the rest of the hard names
usually employed on this occasion, in requiring
such a declaration from a subject of that King, or
in rejecting his services as an Officer of the
Crown or a Legislator, if 'he should decline to
make it.

The Calcutta, S►vedish East Indiaman, has
brought dispatches to the Court of Directors, and
they announce, we understand, under date oldie
25th of May, from Calcutta, that Sir AttcninALD
C!►MPBELL has entered Prome without any oppo-
sition from the Burmese. BuNnoor.An, the Bur-
mete General, had disappeared, and it was not
known whither he had fled.

Baron AU!EI.M VON RoTriscuir,o, Banker,

has been honoured by the Grand Duke of
H ESSE DA RMSTA DT with the Cross of COM-
malider of the second class of the Hessian Order
of Merit.

A Cape of Good Hope Paper, of the 12th o

Extract of a Letter, dated Riga, Sept. 23.
" An Imperial Ukase has been prepared at St.
Petersburg!' for ALEXANDER'S signature, an-
nouncing his intention to appoint alternately
Russians and natives to fill the civil offices in
Finland ; but the Baron Relibinder, Secretary of
State, and the Head of the department for the
affairs of Finland, residing at St. Petersburgh,
has, it is said, refused,his sanction to the mea-
sure. The Baran, it is understood, feels no re-
luctance on the subject, during the continuance
of the present _reign, being well aware of the
conscientious manner in which the duties of a
Monarch are fulfilled by. the Emperor Alexan-
der, but he feels that at some future time his at-
tempt to unite natives of both countries in the
civil administration of .Finland may produce
dangerous consequences. The Emperor is said
to have fallen so far into the views entertained by
Baron Rehbinder, as to have suspended the pro-
mulgation of the Ukase in question."
A French Paper says-44 In consequence of a
wager made by an English Lord of the Admi-
ralty, with three blacksmiths, at Aix-la-Chapelle,
(we believe it should be Luttich) these three
individuals made 1,400 pair of horse shoes in 36
hours. Though the English Lord lost the wager
he took the three men with him to be engaged by
the Board of Admiralty in England."
The passengers of the Thalia, hound for the
settlement on the Rio de la Plata, and now lying
at Cowes, have signed a Round Robin to J. T.
BEAtaioNT, Esq., declaratory of their determina-

tion not to proceed on the voyage unless the ac-
commodations and provisions are placed on a

ore liberal scale.

General BERTRAND, so well known by his
military talents, but still more by his noble de-
votedness to the person of the French Em-
peror, is causing to be built an immense spinning
manufactory in the Fauxbourg de la Madeleine,
near Lisle. Some idea may be formed of the
vastness of the establishment, when the building
alone is estimated to cost 1,200000 francs or
about 48,000!. _
Letters from ROMP, dated Sept. 20, say, that
the heat still continued to be oppressive in that
capital. The health of the Holy Father was
quite re-established.
