CORONATION OF THE RING OF FRANCE.

It appears that the Coronation of CHARLES L-
is further postponed to the nth of June. There-
are several reasons assigned for this delay—lst,
the impossibility of closing the Session at the
time prefixed ; 2d, certain demands by the POPE,
who seeks to be indemnified for the sale of
church property, and for the loss of Avignon ;
3d, the embarrassment caused by an obligation in
the ancient oath of the Kings of France, whereby
they undertook to extirpate heresy, which might
not sound so well at present ; and also, the
doubts and fears which attend the mention of the
word charter on an occasion so conspicuous.
—lt is supposed that it was on the subject of the
claims of His Holiness that the diplomatic assem-
bly took place at Prince METTERNICH% on Wed-
nesday, at the breaking up of which a courier.
was dispatched to Rome by the Papal Nuncio.
Four Dukedoms are, report says, to be created
on the occasion of this solemnity. The parties,
named for the dignity are the Count de VILLELE,' „
Count d'EscAas, the Marquis de ftivrEaE, and
Count CHARLES DE DAMS. The following is the'
Etoile's account of the postponement of the
Coronation :

According to several Journals, there is still great iincetaintY
as to the epoch of the Coronation. Some say that the 15th May
is the day fixed for this great ceremony, others the 15th June.
We do not understand upon what foundation these reports
rest. The King having said, at the opening of the Chambers,
that the ceremony would terminate the Session, it can only be
because the public at that time calculated that the Chambers
would finish by the 15th of May, that this period was assigned-
Now that the term approaches. the impossibility of the Session
terminating so soon is felt, and the period is said to be put off to
the 15th of June. Nothing then is certain, unless it be the
words * of the King, that the Coronation should terminate the'
Session.—( Etoile. )
* This Journal gives the words by way of note—" I desire
that the ceremony of my Coronation may terminate the first'
Session of my Reign."

EVENI LONDON
NG, MARCH 29, 1825.

There was some conversation in the House of
Commons last night on the subject of Catho-
lic Emancipation, and a distinct proposition
Made of disfranchising the forty
shillings Free-
holders, and
Pa
Yin; the Catholic Priests of
Ireland out of the Public purse. Averse as we
!till are to the Catholic Emancipation Bill now
before Parliament, these two measures would but
Still further increase our dislike. The question
°f Catholic Emancipation is a very doubtful
°tie of itself, how much the more objectionable,
then does it become, when we are told that if it
succeeds the people of England are to be taxed
ta Pay the Irish priesthood 250,0001. per annum,
just to keep all quiet. The disfranchising of the
fofrty shilling Freeholders is a question which,
considered with reference to the Catho-
lic Emancipation Bill, does seem a mea-
sare necessary for the safety of the State
should that Bill ever pass into a law ; but even
'hen, it would be bad precedent, and we feel
little hesitation in saying, that should it be ap-
Plied to Ireland in the first instance, it will be
applied to Great Britain in a very little while
afterwards. Who was the original promoter of
"le Measure for the payment of the Irish priests,
lye
Cannot say. In these matters people gene-
rally act from their own feelings, and we pre-
sume that this person well knowing that such a
tn.
he4sure would conciliate him and remove
°PPosition, very fairly concludes, it will
italTe the same effect upon the Catholic Priests ;
nd Perhaps it would, but it is a very mis-
ctie"us and immoral principle, and if the
thetl-I°lic Question cannot be carried without
the aid of these measures to qualify the danger
t •
to apprehended to arise from it, it ought not
bel."4"q. The conduct of the Irish lately
t not been such as to deserve a boon of this
aid re; they have been rebellious and disloyal,
tt their violence ha, broken out into open
acts
of
of 1 murder and robbery, until the very idea
weiving in Ireland, is spoken of with horror.—
Irish ar
e told, too, not to object to pay the
Catholic Clergy this enormous sum, be-
Cause we h s all save 3,000,000/. annually in sol-
diers.(6ceiCan any body in their sober senses be
lito_ved by such a fallacy ? Reduce your mi-
Y the required amount, in the first in-
Rao c
e) and then we will talk about the saving,

otherwise we may rest assured we shall have
both the military and the clergy to pay. It is a
very strange argument to use, because if paying
the Clergy is to take away the necessity of sup-
porting a military force in Ireland, it follows
that the military force was required to keep
down the tumults which the Clergy created (a
fact which has been hitherto flatly denied), and
by a new mode of reasoning in the science of po-
litical economy, the way to suppress a tumult is
to pay the ringleaders to be quiet ; a most effi-
cacious method truly, but altogether very ruinous
to the King's Exchequer. The Irish Clergy claim
the possessions the Protestant Clergy now hold ;
is it then to be hoped that they will be
satisfied with any thing short of an equal amount
of revenue ? If an Irish Protestant Archbishop
has 12,0001. or 14,0001. per annum an Irish Ca-
tholic Archbishop must have at least as much, and
so we should go on through all the gradations of
Ecclesiastical Dignities, and doubtless as we the
payers of this large sum are in their eyes he-
retics, and without the pale of the Christian
Church, the money will be received as Law-
ful spoliation of the enemy, and spent not
in buying masses for the benefit of our
souls, but in devoutly consigning us to per-
haps very warm quarters. The French Pro-
testants it is said receive annually a large sum
from the French Government, w hick is a Ca-
tholic Government, but the case is very dif-
ferent here ; it is very possible for a Pro-
testant to be a good subject to a Catholic
King, but it is quite impossible so long as he
maintains the infallibility and superiority of the
Pope, for a Catholic to be a good subject of a
Protestant King. The great difficulty in the
Catholic Question has been the distinction—what
are the spiritual doctrines of the religion, and what
are in themselves temporal doctrines only, but in-
sisted on by Catholics as spiritual doctrines. To
the former we would give all latitude ; but the
latter, if not opposed, ought not to be yielded
to. The doctrine of Transubstantiation, and all
other doctrines of the like nature, we are ready
to admit as strictly spiritual doctrines ; but the
doctrine of the infallibility and supremacy of the
Pope, both in and out of his dominions, are
merely temporal doctrines,and therefore deserve
no consideration. The supremacy of the King
of ENGLAND within his own dominions is insist-
ed on by members of the Church of England, but
it does not on that account become a part of their
religion ; it is a matter of fact open to denial, if
any body could be so mad as to do so. The su-
premacy of the Pope stands on precisely the

same footing,—why then is it to be made a matter
of conscience, and treated with the delicacy such
matters deserve. Consummate policy grafted
the doctrine on the Religion as a spiritual doc.
trine, but it is not so in point of fact or reason ;
therefore, whilst we are ready to give up the de-
claration against Transubstantiation, we still feel
that the oath of allegiance and supremacy ought
to be preserved entire.

It appears by Frankfort Papers of the 22d
instant, which arrived this morning, that Vis-
count I)EBASSIN DE RICIIEMON, who is appointed
Chief Commissioner from the King of FRANCE in
the French Settlements in India, arrived at Rad-
zievilous on the nth of February. He had a
letter of recommendation from Count Pozzo nr
Bonoo, Russian Ambassador at the French
Court, to the Postmaster at Radzievilous, who
was requested to forward his journey with all
speed by way of Odessa and Tiflis, and to give
him an order for post horses. He set out again
the same day.

We have received a Sierra Leone Royal Ga-
zette, of the 29th January. The following is
an extract:—

" FREETOWN, JAN. 29.—We had for some days felt ex-
tremely anxious respecting the fate of our worthy Collector,
A. W. F. PERCEV AL, Esq. and Lieutenant JEAYES, of his
Majesty's Colonial brig Prince Regent, who had proceeded to
the Isles de Loss, in an open boat, in search of a smuggler,
and had been absent seventeen days without our receiving any
intelligence of their having reached the islands.—Our readers
will readily judge how truly gratified we were to hear on Mon-
day, by means of a sloop from the Cape de Verde Islands,
that our friends were off the Cape, towing in the French cutter
Les Deux Sours, HEN RY 31E MONT, master, with 132 slaves
on board ; eight men of the crew having been murdered by the
slaves, who had risen on them after leaving the river Sherbro,
the place where they shipped these unfortunate victims. She
was seized, we understand, within a short distance of Factory
Island, in our own waters; but as we have been promised
some details, we shall deter giving the information we have re-
ceived, and which throws considerable light on the subject of
the French Slave Trade, until we are in possession of the whole
of the particulars of the case."

It is reported that Government have received
this morning dispatches from Vienna.
The new Danish Loan was brought out this
morning at 75, the contract price. The first
payment of five per cent. is to be made on the
31st instant, and the whole of the instalments are
to be paid up on the 31st October.
The marriage of the Princess MARIA of lIESSE.•
CASSEL was to take place on the 23d instaut, at
7 o'clock in the evening, at the palace of Belle-
vue. The fetes at Court Nvill continue three
days.
AUSTRIAN HIERARCIIY.—in the year 1824 the
number of Bishopricks in the whole Austrian
Monarchy was one hundred ; among the number
were-5 Prince Archbishops, 10 Archbishops,
5 Prince Bishops ; 17 of these were Privy
Counsellors to his Majesty.
