A WORD OF REBUKE TO THE EDI-
TORS OFNEIVSPAPERS,INDEFENCE
OF THE REV. EDWARD IRVING.

(Extracted from the Pulpit, No. 466, now printing,
from a Sermon by the Rev. N. Armstrong, preached at
St. Ann's, Blackfriars, Friday evening, October 21,
1831.) " The saint's third earnest, now that he shall
possess the rest that remaineth for the people of God, is
power. Our inheritance shall be dominion over the cre-
ation; we shall rule angels; we shall tread under foot the
lion, the adder, the serpent; and we shall rule the earth.
In this way God's people shall have an earnest in power.
They have power from the Holy Spirit over themselves,
over men around them, over the spirits above them, and
over the creation in which they live. And if we had faith
now to exercise th it power, I believe that the gifts of the
Spirit which have been claimed—and I believe in my soul
truly claimed—by some insulted and outraged servants of
God in the present day, that these gifts would not be
spoken against in the manner they are. You would not
have in a Christian land—in the metropolis of a Christian
country, such a blasphemy as has gone out from the pub-
lic newspapers for the last two or three days. The public
newspapers, and the editors of these newspapers—the men
who preside at the well head of the devil's stream of pol-
lution—the men who preside at the head of the machinery
which is ripening men for the judgments of God—the men
who preside at the head of these newspapers, which are
drawing away the minds of men from God, and instilling
into the minds and the affection a hatred with respect to
God—they would not have come forth with their blas-
phemy as they have come forth ; for they would have
known that a feeling prevailed in a Christian land that
would have beaten back, that would have repelled, as the
rock repels the buffeting of the waters—would have re-
pelled these blasphemies, and bound them as a diadem
of infamy, around the brow of those who dared to con-
trive and to send forth such blasphemies against the Spirit
of the living God, and against the servants of the living
God."

It is sufficiently known to every one who has
the leas. attention to the character of the struggle in
Paris during the three " glorious" drys, that it was the
manufacturing population—the inhabitants of the fau-

Tney were, indeed, countenanced and supported, stimu-
lated and [motel:W(l, by the great body of the people, with-
out whose aid or approbation they could have done no-
thing; but they were nearly the sole persons who ex-
posed their lives in a street warfare. The nation, through
the medium of the Government and the Chambers, very
early expressed its gratitude to the assertors of its rights
by pecuniary succours to these who required them,
and by honorary distinctions to those who wore above
the necessity of receiving such aid. It is surprising to
End how little taken from the purse of the nation could
satisfy all the demands; of the revolutionary oufft•rers. The
number of the wounded, to be provided for by the Go-
vernment, amounted to 492, and their pensions to 24,4 300
francs, or about 10,0001. The number of dead, who left
widows, children, or relatives, to be supported by the
public, amounted to 522, and the demand on the Trea
stay, thence accruing, to 354,000, or about 15,0001. In.
eluding other charges, which we need not enumerate, the
whole burdens imposed on the country for the benefit of
those who fought the battle of the revolution, and suffered
in the cause, do not amount to 30,000/,..... Times,
