WITH WHICH
THE « TRUE SUN " IS NOW

INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1838.

The Seventeenth inst., on which the Chartists are to
hold their great public meeting at Westminster, ra-
pidly approaches. According to our view, that meet-
ing will lead to much immediate benefit, or some mis-
chief, as it is conducted to promote a repeal of the
Corn-laws, or to procure the establishment of the
People's Charter. All those who wish to stave off, as
long as possible, the active trial of strength between
the proprietary and working classes, ought, we think,
to direct that meeting to the attainment of the former
objezt. Should resolutions be passed in favour of now
agitating for the People's Charter, the question of the
Corn-laws will for the moment be stifled ; and the
capitalists, who are known to dread the labourers, will
at once unite to oppose them to the utmost of their
power. The working classes will be confirmed in
their project, and the hostility between the two will be
sharpened. Not only will the opportunity be lost of
effecting a great practical good, by procuring the re-
peal of the Starvation-laws, but angry agitation, and
great confusion, it is to be apprehended, will en-
sue. 'We consider it, therefore, very much the
duty of all those who are opposed to now agitating the
Charter question, who wish to get rid of the devil's
laws, and have any influence with the people, to invite
them to embrace the course which we advocate. Pro-
bably some persons of this description will attend at
the Westminster meeting, and will submit resolutions
to it, drawn up in a kindly and reasonable spirit. We
would have nothing however done secretly ;there should
be no tricks, no taking by surprise, no packing the
meeting round the hustings ; butlet every thing be done
fairly and above-board. If any person entertain anv
intention of moving an amendment, let them announce
it and publish their propositions. We offer our
columns for the purpose, for we have greatly at heart
the success and welfare of the people. A resolution,
something to the following effect, would embrace our
views :—" That while this meeting is deeply sensible
of the vices of our present representative system, and
will endeavour, in due season, to procure a complete
and full representation of the people, founded on
the principle of Universal Suffrage, yet, being con-
vinced that at present no such principle could be esta-
blished, and being, at the same time, thoroughly con-
vinced that the unjust Corn-laws inflict deep injury on
the community, this meeting is resolved, first, to use
all its efforts to procure a total abolition of those laws,
and recommends the working classes and the manufac-
turing capitalists throughout the Empire now to unite
their exertions to obtain that end." We do not pledge
ourselves for the words, but something to that effect, fol-
lowed by one or two detailed resolutions carrying for-
ward the object, would be, in our judgment, of almost
infinite ad van tage, by uniting the millions and their
employers to obtain a common and a certain good.

The Chronicle, in quoting a letter which Mr.
OASTLER has addressed to the people of England,
declines to comment on it ; but it ought, we think, to
have pointed out that Mr. OASTLER founds his re-
commendation to the people, to arm themselves and
resist the law, on the language of the Bishop
of EXETER and Lord ABINGER. I-Ic also quotes,
to the same effect, Lord ELDON and the Earl of
STANHOPE. We differ : froth Mr. OASTLER,
hut we cannot, therefore, doubt that his writings will
have great effect in Yorksile, when 1;c can quote the

high authority of Tory Prelates, Judges, and Nobles in
favour of resisting the laws.

The Times of to-day contains an appropriate illus-
tration of the consequences of devoting a large portion
of the national revenues to the maintenance of a par-
ticular religious creed. That our Priesthood may
keep their wealth it is essential to enforce a belief
in the Mosaic cosmogony ; and modern science,
though it may rest on demonstration, is de-
nounced as infidel by the Times as in the days
of GALILEO and the Inquisition, because it does not
accord with the theories of the ignorant Israelites. It
would be unworthy of independent Journalists not to
say as much in defence of what we conceive to be
truth, as it is hypocritical in the writers of the Times to
endeavour to obtain a political object by appealing to
prejudices which are fostered by the Priests for their
pecuniary advantages, and which the writers of the
Times are too well instructed not to be aware are

founded in error. The writers in that Journal know as
well as other reflecting men that there is no in-
dication in the early part of the Bible that those
who wrote it had the least inkling of knowledge that
the globe is round, and is 360 degrees in circumfe-
rence. Their inspiration stopped far short of modern
knowledge. The Editors of the Times are aware that
the knowledge of the antediluvians was confined to a
small portion of the earth. At the same time those
Editors know that the antediluvians lived under some-

what similar atmospheric and moral laws to the pre.
sent generation of men, for they experienced the
vicissitudes of the seasons, and had to learn arts.
They knew of rain, thunder, and lightning, and
preserved.the record of the authors of some useful inven-
tions. They had named the animals of the earth—they
had improved language—they had been obliged to in-
vent the art of working in metals—they had built cities
—they had begun to cultivate music—and were as
much a prey to the wickedness which legislators have
ever since thought they could get rid of, as men are at
present. Living, then, under similar atmospheric and
moral laws to those we now live under, the writers
of the Times must know, that the rain for thirty
days, spoken of as the Deluge, could not extend over
all the wide-spread round earth with which we are
acquainted ; and they must know that those whose
knowledge was confined to a small portion of the earth
could not mean that the whole of it, as we know it,
and which they did not know, was submerged by
thirty days' rain. Clearly the phenomena described
in the Bible was some such devastation as we may
suppose the Elbe to have worked when it forced its
way from Moravia to the sea, and as Lake Superior
is now threatening to North America. In fact, the
Deluge described in the Bible was comparatively
local, and those who were not acquainted with
the extent of the earth have an injustice done
them by those who misinterpret their words, by
extending them to that earth with the dimen-
sions of which mankind were not accurately ac-
quainted before the voyage of MAGELLAN. These
things, we believe, are well known to the writers in
the Times, and they therefore know that the extension
given by the interested Priesthood to the Mosaic ac-
count of the Deluge—branding science with irreligion,
and thwarting the progress of accurate knowledge—is
as completely contradicted by the atmospheric pheno-
mena of the whole earth, as men are now acquainted
with it, as the ancient doctrine that our globe is stationary,
and the centre of the Heavens, is contradicted by our
knowledge of its daily and annual motions. All these
things, we verily believe, the Editors of the Times are
as well aware of as most well informed men ; but
because it serves their present political purpose to up-
hold the Priesthood of the Established Church,
they are not ashamed to write and suffer their columns
to be daily polluted by the effusions of others who also
write in an ignorant, calumnious, and persecuting
spirit, quite worthy of the Inquisition, when it con-
demned GALILEO to silence for preaching the doc-
trine that the earth daily revolves on its own axis, and
annually round the sun.

A letter to the Bishop of EXETER, from one of
" his Clergy"—to use an episcopal phrase—will be
found in another part of our paper, and will be read
with pleasure by those who like to see a Minister of
the Gospel asserting the spiritual rights of his office
against the tyranny of an ecclesiastical superior. It is
a long time since Dr. PHILPOTTS had so severe a re-
buke administered to him ; we trust he will profit by
it, and think more humbly of himself in future.

We direct the attention of our readers to the Sup-
plement to the Official Correspondence between the
Foreign Minister of the Argentine Republic and the
French Admiral commanding the blockading squa-
dron off Buenos Ayres, which will be found in an-
other part of The Sun. It places the conduct of the
French Government—to say the very least of it—in a
most reprehensible light. We may take another occa-
sion to make a few general remarks upon it.

The Paris Journals of Monday contain the report
of the proceedings before the Court-martial at Per-
pignan for the trial of General BRossARD. Though
interesting to the Parisians, as disclosing the heartless
oppression of the French in Africa, from the Com-
mander-in-Chief to the humblest private in the ranks,
such a mass of evidence would not be read by one in
fifty of our subscribers. To such of our countrymen
as are acquainted with the military annals of France it
will appear much more surprising that the Govern-
ment, departing from all established precedents, should
order a general officer to be tried for robbing a con-
quered people, than that a province should be pillaged
to reqvite the barbarities of the most rapacious sol-
diery in Europe.
Of the Royal progress to the chateau of d'Eu—the
present aspect and bearing of the Swiss question—and
the gossip of Paris generally, all the details known to
us will be found in the subjoined extracts from the
Paris Papers of IVonday :
The Monitesr announ.les the arrival of the King, Queen,
and the Royal family at the' Chateau d'Eu, on Saturday even-
tng, at six. It states that on the road their Majesties were
everywhere greeted by the gnost enthusiastic testimonies of
loyalty and respect. The reapers in the fields all quitted
their labours to witness the pasta ?e of their Majesties, who
were welcomed with shouts of " Vive le poi" along the whole
line of road.
On the occasion of the birth of the Count de Paris, four
half bursarships have been founded in the Royal .Hotpital at
Charenton, and new pensions are about to be allowed to the
Royal Establishment of the Quinze- Vingts for the indigent
blind. _

We learn from the Semaphore of Marseilles, that a Com-
mittee had been formed by several of the principal landholders
of Burgundy to favour the ex?cu.ion of a railroad from Paris
to Lyons.

Dr. Desjarolins, who had been sent into Egypt by the Mi-
nister of Public Instruction, has discovered there a considerable
number of MSS., some in the Nlemphitic, others in the
Saitic languages. The Prophecics of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and
Baruch, with the latter to the Jewish prisoners at Babylon,
the Book of Job, the 14 Grst chapters of Proverbs, and some
fror ks agment; of the
in Book of Kings, are mentioned strong the
w contained them.
The rem tins of Prince Taller rand have been removed f om

-...._.
The Commerce states, that on the occasion of the birth of i
the Count de Paris an amnesty has been granted to the public I
women confined in the prisons of St. Lazare and the Made-
lonnettes.
The number of passengers by the St. Germain Railway
during the first year, from the 26th of August, 1837, to the
25th of August, 1838, both days inclusive, has been 1,375,396,
and the receipts have been 1,550,144 f. 35c.
" Money traneactions," says the u'ournal de Paris, " be-
tween Bordeaux and Paris arc now very extensive, and the
Bank of France is sending considerable supplies to the for-
mer town. Large orders have been executed in Paris for
houses which freight ships to the Indies, but the shipments of
wines are still more important. If this favourable extension
of commerce is not checked by any political occurrences, Bor-
deaux will rise from its ruined state, and will have less reason
to envy the North of France for the activity of its manufacto-
ries and the prosperity of its commerce aided by its abundant
1 exports."

the vaults of the church of the Assumption in Paris, which
for two months formed their temporary resting place. On
Wednesday they will be interred at the Prince's seat at
Valeneay.
A grand dinner has been given to M. Odillon Barret at
Douai, on the occasion of his successful defence of the Liberal
of that town. It took place the same day that the sentence
was pronounced, and after the repast was terminated the Hon.
Deputy made an eloquent speech in returning thanks for his
health, which had been drunk. The speech, as well as the
sentiments of the persons present at the dinner, was in strong
opposition to the policy of the Ministry.
According to a letter from Brest, Lord Canning's yacht
the Gondola arrived in that port on Wednesday, and sailed
again on Thursday for Gibraltar. Lord Stuart de Rothesay
is said to have been on board her.
A hostile meeting took place on Thursday morning between
M. Lorois, Prefect of the Morbihan, and M. de Sivry, De-
puty for Ploermel, at the distance of three leagues from
Vannes. The combatants fought with swords, and, after a
few passes, M. de Sivry was slightly wounded in the abdo-
men, and, in parrying the thrust, broke his adversary's sword.
The combat having been resumed with fresh weapons, M. Lo-
rois' sword was again broken, and M. de Sivry proposed to
continue the affair with pistols. The proposal was accepted
by M. Lorois, on condition that both parties should stand only
at arms length from each other, and that only one of the pis-
tols should be loaded. To this, however, the seconds posi-
tively objected, and the engagement having been renewed for
the third time with swords, that of M. de Sivry was broken,
after touching M. Lorois on the thigh. Notwithstanding the
renewed interposition of the seconds, the combat was still con-
tinued, and terminated only on M. Lorois receiving a wound
in the side, his adversary's sword having been broken against
one of his ribs, and having penetrated to such a depth that the
fragment was extracted with some difficulty. The wound,
however, is not considered dangerous.
The Pilote du Calvados says that the settlement between
the French and English oyster.fishermen is not yet concluded,
and that the only official document which has appeared rela-
tive to the subject is a decision of the Minister of Marine of
the 13th of August, wlic.h authorises the beginning of the
oyster-fishery on the 11th instant on the banks to the north of
Granville and the Islands of Chausey, on the express condi-
tion that it shall only be outside the bays of Granville and Can-
cal until the 15th of October next, the usual time for oyster-
fishing fixed by the ordinance of the 24th of July, 1816.
The Helvetic of the 31st August has the following

article :
" The ordinary Session of the Diet approaches its close.
According to all probability, the business before it will occupy
its attention during the first week of September. The affairs
which it has still to discuss are few in number, but the grand
affair of the note of the French Government is one of them.
It is generally believed at Lucerne that the ordinary Diets
will be soon fcllowed by an extraordinary Diet.
" The deputation of Berne has called on the Executive
Council to assemble the Great Council, the results of the sit-
ting of the Diet on the 30th is waited for to fix the day of
Convocation, which will doubtless be the 10th of September.
It is much feared that Berne will act an insignificant part in
this affair; while the principal deputation frankly express
themselves in accordance with the Canton of Thurgovia, even
without consulting their Governments; that of Berne is con
tent with a miserable referendum. The influence of 1835
again makes itself felt.
The same journal (the Helvetie) says that certain journals
of the same thy say that the Diet has rejected the French
note by a maj"rity of twenty, but adds that this statement is
premature. The new Gazette of Zurich, announces that it is
M. de Effinger, Swiss Charge d'Affaires in Venice, who re-
ceived the false reports of a note on the Convent, and caused
them to be spread in Switzerland.
The Courier de Bordeaux of Ist September says
We this moment learn that the Chamber of Commerce of
Bordeaux is to meet to-day to deliberate on the important
question relative to sugars. We do not doubt of its we; thily
defending the rights of our maritime commerce, and of our

colonies.
.‘ We have reason also to believe that the several Sugars
Committees at Bordeaux, Havre and Nantes, intended to send
Deputies to Paris to form a Central Committee, and combine
together all the remonstrances of the merchants and colonies."

Narnas, Aun. 16.-The promenade in the street Toledo
ysterday, which the genuine Neapolitan never misses on Sun-
days and holidays, between twelve and two o'clock, was dis-
turbed by a tragical event, blood having been spilt amidst the
throng of the peaceable cit:zens, who were walking up and
down with their wives and daughters on their arms. Two
persons belonging to the police, one a commissary, the other
a secretary in the police office, who had long been enemies,
happened to meet. They first used abusive language, and
then had recourse to their sabres and sword canes, till both
were wounded, aid obliged to desist. The public is very
curious to see bow this affair will end.
For some days past the heat has been increasing. Yester-
day the mercury in Reaumur's thermometer was from 28 to
29 degrees (93 to 971 degrees Fahrenheit), but at the same
time the nights are uncommonly cold.

From Spain the news received continues to be
important. By a Royal decree dated the 26th
the QUEEN has ordered General LATHE, the Minister
of War, to visit personally the army of the centre,
to inquire into the cause of General ()AAA'S retreat
from Morella. General ALDAMA is appointed to
discharge ad interim the functions of War Minister,
It was reported that the House of ROTHSCHILD had
entered into an agreement to advance the QUEEN'S
Government 8,0001. monthly to meet the demands of
the army during the continuance of the war. We
have not yet learned upon what security this money is
to be advanced, nor do we absolutely credit the intel-
ligence.

We cannot persuade ourselves that the following
copy of a Russian Ukase for abolishing the last rem-
nant of the nationality of Poland, extracted from a
Paris Journal of Monday, is authentic. Monstrous
as have been the acts of the CZAR, with respect to a
nation once the cradle and the stronghold of European
liberty, we can hardly think it credible that in the face
of the sympathising people of England and France he
would dare thus wantonly to trample upon the simplest
household feelings of the Poles. We do not mean
to infer that the Autocrat would be prevented from issu-
ing such an Ukase by any apprehension of incurring the
displeasure of Count MOLE and Lord PALMERSTON.
It would be absurd, indeed, to suppose that the Cabi-
nets which interfered not to prevent the fall of Warsaw
—which were silent when the cries
of four hundred
infants, hurried in the depth of winter
terto
o perish
among the snows of Siberia, implored their protection
—which were mute when a tyrant audaciously pro-
claimed to the world the annihilation of Polish nation-
ality—should fling aside their craven policy to preserve
the fashion of a serf's garment. But in representa-
tive' Governments the policy of Cabinets is rarely
more
immutable than the official existence of the

" 1. The citizen= and peasants, male and female, of Po-
land, are prohibited wearing the Cracovian and Moraviln

Tivy are equally prohibited bleating the square ( Polish) cap,
