were in danger. They submitted to the impo-
sition of the Toleration Act, even though it
militated against the very first :principle of •their
then ruling faith—to the sly, creeping advances
of Catholics and Non-Conformists into ollicesof
trust and power—to every indignity, in short;
which JAMES chose to lay upon them, till the
crafty Monarch, emboldened by success, at
length ventured to trench on their temporalities.
Then, indeed, the ire of the Bishops was
roused ! Then their patriotism was at blood-
heat ! Then their consciences were stung
to the quick ;—in a word, then, and not till
then, they recanted their favourite doctrine
of divine right, raised the war-whoop of the
Church in danger (by which they meant their
own revenues) made common cause with the
people, turned out JAMES, brought in WILLIAM,
and even strove to fetter that enlightened Mo-
narch with conditions which, if acceded to, would
have made. him a mere slave—a tool in their
hands ! These, and these alone, were the mo-
tives that actuated the Bishops in their opposi-
tion to JAME) the Second. They thought of
their pluralities, and became patriots, discreetly
considering that the claims of the pocket were
paramount to all other considerations.

We have left ourselves no space to comment
on the Quarterly's gross attacks on Earl GREY ;
enough therefore to state that we never expected
to have met with such false—malignant—gro-
velling—vulgar calumnies—in the pages of a
work for which CANNING once wrote, and to
which more than one high Churchman has
abundantly contributed.

The following are extracts from German Pa-
pers received this morning

CASSEL, OCT. 22.--The day before yesterday the As-
sembly of the States, in a secret Pitting, adopted by a
great majority the treaty between Prussia and the Elec-
torate of Hesse, assimilating the tariff of customs in the
two countries. This treaty is concluded for ten years.
It is expected that Bavaria and Luxemburg will joining
this treaty before the end of the year. Negotiations have
also been commenced with the same view with the Grand
Duchy of Baden. We cannot yet judge of the probab!e
issue of the negotiations which have been carried on
hitherto at Berlin, between the Prussian Government and
the Kingdom of Saxony.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 27.—Yesterday evening a procla-
mation was issued by the Burgomasters and Sena'e of
this city, relative to the disturbance at one of the gates
on the evenings of the 24th and 25th of this month.
Yesterday passed over quietly, and this disagreeable affair
may be considered as wholly terminated. The several
divisions of the Civic Guard behaved in the most ex-
emplary manner, and their zeal was attended with the
greatest success, and it is gratefully acknowledged by their
fellow-citizens.

BELGRADE, OCT. 9,—We have at length received re-
ports from good authority, which explain the sudden re-
treat of the Grand Vizier to Bitoglia, as well as the occasion
of the report that the Bosnian troops had suddenly desisted
from any farther advance, and had sent to the Grand Vizier
proposals to make their submission. It is well known
that the B-mniana had gained a considerable advantage
over the Grand Vizier at Koscova, and obliged him to re-
treat to Macedonia. During his retreat he received orders
front the Sultan immediately to send 15,000 men to
Con-tantinople, to assist in preventing the threatened in-
terruption of tranquillity i❑ the capital. Obeying this
command he found himself wholly unable to undertake
any thing against the Bosnians, with whose strength
he was now acquainted. He, therefore, had re-
course to negotiations, to which the Bosnians were ready
to proceed, but proposed such conditions as could be ex-
pected only from a victorious enemy. They demanded for
example, 3,000 purses, (a million and a half of piastres),
as an indemnity for the expences of the war, the main-
tenance of the .tutu quo in Bosnia, amnesty for Must tpha
Pacha of Scutari, &c. The Grand Vizier granted all these
terms, after having in vain endeavoured to obtain better,
with the reserve of the Sultan's ratification, to prevent at
' least the march of the Bosnians into the interior of the
empire, which would have added fresh fuel to the spirit of
discontent in Albania and Macedonia. The Bosnians are
now at Peneni, on the frontiers of Macedonia,
ready to enter that province if the convention with the
Grand Vizier should not be ratified by the Porte, while a
detached corps would march to the relief of Mustapha,
Pacha of Scutari. It can hardly be doubted that the
Porte will ratify the proceedings of the Grand Vizier, defer
its plans of organization and civilization in the Western
provinces, and so endeavour to avoid a new crisis.
VIENNA, OCT. 22.--In the city the cholera has nearly
disappeared. On the 20th and 21st there were only four
new cases, seven recoveries, and one death. In the suburbs
there are still between sixty and seventy new cases daily.
The whole number remaining in the city and suburbs
is 298.
