lent, upon the authority of the Paris Papers '
Amongst them is the arrival of JOSEPH. PAGLIA,
with 10,000 men at Vostizta. Missolonghi is
also said not to have fallen, but that REDSCIIED
PAcHA was defeated in his assault, and sus-
tained considerable loss. The usual quantity
of Turkish shipping has also been burnt by the
Greek Admiral MIAULIS, between Modon and
Navarino. We do not, however, place any re-
liance upon these accounts.

The Milan Gazette of the I4th, together with

the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 22d, and the
Picdinontese Gazette of the 18th August, came
to hand this morning. They do not contain a
word of news worth extractng. The Allgemeine
Zeitung gives an Imperial Rescript, dated from
St. Petersburg, Aug. 2, for prohibiting beggars,
and sending them, when found, to the different
estates to which they are attached.

From the Agent to Lloyd's at Tarragona, dated Aug. 15]

" Yesterday appeared off this port a brigantine
schooner and a brig of war, which were taken for French
cruizers, but afterwards appeared to be Columbian ships of war)
and have taken a fine Spanish schooner, laden with a general
cargo for Marseilles, which sailed. from hence last night. This
is the first time, I believe, that any one has come up the Medi-
terranean so far."

To such of our countrymen who are resident
abroad, and to those who are devoted to the
Protestant Church of England, it will doubtless
prove a source of congratulation, that they
have amongst them a Bishop lawfully constitut-
ed, and sent by the pious and learned Bishops of
Scotland, " that he may set in order the things
that ate wanting among such of the natives of
Great Britain and Ireland as he shall find there
professing to be members of the ,United Church
of England andireland, and the Episcopal Church
of Scotland, and such members of the Episcopal
Church of America, who may chance to be resi-
dent in Europe." The number of our countrymeil
resident in France is estimated at 50,000. This
large body, until the nomination of the Right
Rev.MATTUEWIIENRY LUSCoMnE, LL D. as a
Bishop, were left exposed to dangers and incon-
venience from the absence of proper teachers,
episcopally licensed and visited, and of the
regular administration of the Holy Sacra-
ments. It would, under these circumstances,
have been by no means surprising if amidst
so large a multitude some had fallen away
from the Church of their forefathers, over-
come by the imposing ceremotiles of the Romish
Church. This event may, then, be regarded as
equally auspicious, whether beheld in reference
to the spiritual welfare of those for whose good
the nomination was more immediately made, or
with reference to the stability of the Church of
England.
It is not, however, to be imagined that part of
tire duty of this prelate is to effect conversions,
or that he was sent with a view to make prose-
lytes from the Romish Church. Ms instruc-
tions from his brethren of Scotland, by whom he
was sent, were similar to those given by our
blessed Lord when he first sent out his Apostles.
" Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into
any city of the Samaritans enter ye not ; but
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel." Thus these instructions say, "so we
following so divine an example, which was cer-
tainly left on record to the church, to guide her
conduct in making future converts to her faith,
do solemnly enjoin our Right Rev. Brother Bishop
Luscostec not to disturb the peace of any Christian
Society established as the National Church in
whatever nation he may chance to sojourn, but
to confine his ministrations to British subjects,
and to such other Christians as may profess to be
of a Protestant Episcopal Church."
This limitation of the duties of the new Bishop
appears to us not only wisely but most properly im-
posed, for it can scarcely be considered the duty
of a Christian to sap -the foundation or shake the
principles upon which the religious faith of another
may rest. The object of religion is to make us
happy by making us better, and little would
that purpose be answered by raising doubts and
exciting apprehensions in minds previously free
from them. The spirit indeed in which these
instructions are conceived, are worthy of the
excellent body whence they emanate, more
anxious to effect conversion by
example than
by precept, and looking to the doctrines of re-
ligion as acting best, and more in accordance
with the will of God, when producing the fruits
of repeutance, and forming tire foundation of our
consolation here and our eternal happiness here-
after.
