I:Continued from THE SUN of yesterday.]
Whatever-may be the event of the present unhappy times,
Bishop March will have one consolation in reserve ; he will-have
no dereliction of duty to reproach himself with. If the Es-
tablished Church fall, it falls not through any means of his ;
through any neglect, any indifference, any cold, pausing,
wretched neutrality. His feelings have been all alive to its
danger, and his strength (and it is powerful) has been manfully
put forth for its consolidation and defence. He has rendered it
many and important services. He has wrestled against its nu-
merous adversaries, through " evil report and good report"—
He has withstood, and, in the opinion of the greater part of the
orthodox brethren, has very successfully withstood the bandied
phalanx of Reman Catholic Claims, African Associations,
Bible Societies; Church Missionary Societies, Societies for the
Conversion of the Jews, Evangelical Teachers and preachers,
and the whole farrago of "pious frauds" by which the people
are inn fair way, of being canted out of both their substance and
their sAises. These hypocritical institutions, which, made up
of the very blood and bone of dissent, are rapidly erecting them-
selves on the decaying foundations of our Establishment, he
bath confronted and confuted. And, though he may have
hereby made many enemies among the disaffected, he has yet,
I trust, by this very procedure, attached to him all the well af-
fected ; all. who discover ia the danger of the Church the danger
of the State,lamr;who regard the downfall of the one as dread-
fully prophetic, andalmost instantly to be fulfilled, of the de-
struction of the other.
If, says his Lordship, with a firmness that must do him
honour even in the opinion of his adversaries, " if the party
which prevailed in the time of Charles I. were now to be re-
stored, then indeed would the Bishop of Peterborough incur the
same fate as Laud ; and, like Land, he would rather sacrifice
his life than abandon his religion." This is, genuine chris-
tianity, genuine patriotism ; the very firinness
.in the clerical
character that we want in this " day of reproach." This is
that " right hand of fellowship" that we are called upon to
hold out, not to dissenters from our Church and dispisers of our
'faith who extol and laugh at us for our liberality in the same
breath ; but to God, to our King, and to our Country; to that
God whom we reverence and they unconsecrate ; to that King
whom we honour and they calumniate ; to that Country which
we regard with veneration and they treat with scorn. This is,
finally, that calm- and dignified demeanour that shall " put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men" ; that shall convince these
defamers of our holy profession that they can neither make us
afraid nor ashamed to acknowledge it ; these methodistical
Peers and democratical Commons, whom, but for their in-
fluence with the infidel and radiCal part of our population, we
should catalogue in the list of the very pettyest opponents the
Church was ever pestered with.
I will say no more on the conduct of our Whig adversaries,
or on the character of their opposition. The nation is pretty
well apprized, from the Durham, Norfolk, and Kent County
Meetings, of the objects they have in view, and of the
dangerous means they confide in for their accomplish-
ment. Those objects, however, providentially remain yet
to be compleated. The violence of their proceedings to obtain
power will ever, I trust, continue a bar to their possession of
it. We are not yet prepared for rebellion, or ripe for revolu-
tion, though large and open strides are certainly making to-
wards it. When we want to throw the Empire into French
departments, to discard the oracles of Revelatiox, and to set up
the Goddess of Reason in their room, we will call upon the
Whig Faction for their advice and assistance. But until that
propitious consummation arrives, we shall, I believe, be able
to go on without them.
• Before I finish my remarks on these extraordinary proceed=
ings against the Bishop of Peterborough, I must beg to adz
vert to one part of them, which wears, I confess, a somewhat
Melancholy aspect ; I mean, the total silence, of the Right
Reverend Bench on this attack upon the very vitality of their
sacred function.
.It certainly does seem to subject them to the
reproach put upon them, and a better friend, probably, to their
order than the Earl of Carnarvon might have been justified in
" expressing his extreme surprise at perceiving so numerous
an attendance of Reverend Prelates, and finding them, at thi
same time, mute and silent under such circumstances." t
What a compound of inconsistency is man! The very de:-
fects we studiously create, as occasion requires, we heii-
tate not to expose. The Whig treatment of Bishops in
the House of Lords bill too frequently constitutes an apo-
logy for their silence. That they do not venture to give
their opinions (except under very imperative circumstances)
may be fairly imputed to their being rarely encouraged to
do it. It is not thought necessary. It is even affected to
be contemplated as inconsistent with, and derogatory to
their Spiritual profession. They are too much considered
as mere appendages to the Upper House ;' as a sort of passive
machinery to be worked at pleasure, or at pleasure tOremain in
abeyance. If they venture to deliver their sentiments upon
any subject, some Whig jester presently puts them down with
his scorn. If they omit to deliver them, he turns about and
upbraids them with his " extreme surprise that they should
continue silent."
Such a degradation of the senatorial character (especially
when united with the sacerdotal) must be beheld with regret.
I consider the Lords Spiritual as possessing a seat in the great
council of the nation for the express purpose, in conjunction
with the Lords' Temporal, of watching over the welfare and
tranquillity of the realm. That welfare is not confined to the
religion, it takes in every part of the polity of the State ; and
on every part of this polity, a Bishop of the Church of England
will feel it his duty to exercise his best judgment, and to give
his free, full, open opinion. He can hardly be considered as
an integral portion of the Legislature without doing this.—
When an established religion is united, as in this kingdom,
with the established government, many measures in the one may
be found, in a variety of cases, materially to affect the other; so
to affect it, that the thing must not be slurred over by a silent
vote, but reasoned through in all its stages, and in allits i
stages opposed. But if every thing not purely of a reli-
gious nature is tube considered as dead matter in discussion,
and as what the Episcopal band have no concern with, I see
not how, as guardians of the Church, they can have any secu-
rity for its permanent well-being. If they be only expected to
move themselves when its welfare is directly attacked, it may
receive many secret and serious wounds before they move at all.
Here, however is a case strictly in point; where the assault
was directly levelled against the Church ; where the subject in
dispute. affected the very existence of Episcopal authority, and,
by consequence, of the established religion of the realm itself.
Here the whole Bench must assul•edly have felt themselves
called upon not to be silent witnesses of an attack (and an at-
tack repeated in the very face of former confutation) made less
against the Bishop of Peterborough than against those doctrines
he hid espoused and that prelatical power he had maintained
and defended. Here was an opportunity for the most vigorous
and righteous opposition. Did they then rise up as one man
and declare that they would repel this insulting invasion of
their Episcopal rights, this harsh and ill judged censure of the
exercise of their Episcopal duties ? Alas ! to borrow the taunt-
ing language of their adversaries, " all were tranquil, timid, and
retiring ! "+ A whisper, a hint, a nod, were no where visible.
" Not one stepped forward to vindicate the principles he profess-
ed; 4:" or the distinguished Divine, who, at various times, had
so ably vindicated those principles ! Such an indifference, such an
inertness, by whatever, coil, creeping, policy it may be defended,
I must think " augured most favourably.".,*. It was not in uni-
son with the crying necessity of the occasion ; with the sanctity
of the Ecclesiastical profession; with the integrity of the Ec-
clesiastical character; with the true British firmness, which,
looking to the noble soil from whence they sprung, was, under
such an important emergency, to be expected from them. That
their Lordships herein compromised present duty for future
expectancy, God forbid I should be induced to think; but I
must believe that to delicacy of feeling, a lesser virtue, they,
in all likelihood, sacrifice a virtue of far higher cast, dignity of
feeling. It was an unhappy policy. Their partial opposition
was less to be dreaded than their dead, general, silence.
I know not how this ntounful omission is to be extenuated.
That some among the Right Reverend Bench might secretly
disapprove of certain parts of Bishop* Marsh's conduct; that
others might not precisely agree with him in his explication of
the Liturgy and Articles, as manifested in the tenor of his ques-
tions; and that others might be disposed to think that the of-
fence, if any, would sooner the away out of the House the less
it was made a subject of discussion in the House, is no ade-
quate apology; is, indeed, no apology at all for this general
supineness. They must have felt that the " voice of faction!"
had been raised against Bishop Marsh—that " the Episcopal
authority had, in his person, been insulted""'—and, with a gene-
rous ardona that spurns all selfish interests, they ought to have

ORIGINAL LETTER FROM EDMUND BURKE TO
GENERAL CHARLES LEE.
We have in our possession a considerable nurn.
' ber of the private papers of General Charles Lee, who occupied-
a distinguished post in the Revolutionary Army, and till his
' collision with General Washington, possessed the confidence.
and affection of the `American people. His private correspond-
ence was very extensive, embracing some of the most distin-
guished men who were on the stage of action at the eventful
period of our Revolution. The letter, of which the subjoined
is an exact copy, is in the hand-writing► of Edmund Burke ;
and not recollecting to have seen it iwany printed collection of
General Lee's correspondence, we transcribe it ter the gratifi-
cation of the curious.—( Rhode Islagd American.)
"DEAR Six—l received two letters from you ; one by Mr.
Hay, the other by the packet. 1 thank you most sincerely for
both. Your first was particularly acceptable, as it gave me an
opportunity of renewing and of improving my acquaintance
with a Gentleman for whose character I have always' had an
high esteem. Illy particular friends were the first who took
notice of his merit. They imagined that they could not do a
better service to GoVernment in P. newly acquired French coun-
try, than to send them one of the best samples we were able to
furnish of plain, manly English sense and integrity. I wish
those who rule at present my shew, by the provision they make
for hini here, that such qualifications are Still in some request
among ourselves.
" It was extremely kind of you to'remember your friends in
our dull worn-out hemisphere, among the infinite objects of
curiosity that are so exuberantly spread out before you in the
vast field of America. There is indeed abundant matter, both
natural and political, to give full scope to a mind active and
enterprising like yours; where so much has been done and un-
done ; and where still there is an ample range for wisdom and
mistake—either must produce considerable effects in an affair of
sixth extent and importance. It would be no light mischief,
and no trivial benefit. When one considers what might be
done there, it is truly miserable to think of its' present dis-
tracted condition. But as the errors which have brought things
into that state of confusion are not likely to be corrected by any
influence of ours, upon either side of the water, it is not wise
spectilate too much en the subject. It can have no effect
but to make ourselves' uneasy, without any possible advantage
to the public.
IL're, as we have met, so we continues in the most perfect
repose. It has been announced to us that we are to have no
business but the gold coin. This has not appeared as yet; and
if there be nothing further than we hear of intended, it will
come on time enough. The politics of the Continent which
used to engage your attention so much, attracts no part of ours.
Whether the American affairs will be brought before us is yet
uncertain.
" Saturday, I heard the Massachusetts petition against their
Governor ana Deputy discussed before the Council. It was
spoken to very ably by the Counsel on either side; by Messrs.
Dunning and Lee for the Province; by Mr. Wedderburn for
the Governors. The latter uttered a furious philippic against
poor Dr. Franklin. It required all his philosophy, natural
and acquired, to support him against it. I hear that the peti-
tion will be rejected. The Council was the fullest of any in-our
memory. Thirty-five attended.
" I hope, as you say nothing of it in your last letter, that your
fit of the gout was but gentle, and rather a sharp remedy than
any thing that deserves to be called a disease. With many
thanks for your obliging remembrance, and all good wishes for
your journey and safe return,
" I am, dear Sir,
" Your most obedient and faithful humble servant,
" EDMUND BURKE.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.—yesterday, at half-past 12 o'clock, this
cause was called on for hearing, when Mr. HUBAND, Counsel
for the bride, proposed to the Magistrates that they should ex-
ainine his client en secret (Counsel and all the other parties
leaving the room), for the purpose of their ascertaining and de-
termining whether she was really a reift.
Mr. If unarm addressed the Magistrates in so low a tone of
voice, that for some time we could not collect his expressions.
When heard, he was understood to remark that the young
Lady's testimony should be heard by the Magistrates, as, from
the delicacy of the subject, he deemed such a course of pro-
ceeding was highly necessary.
Mr. FINLAY objected, on the part of his client, who, he said,
was summoned for " aiding and assisting in procuring the mar-
riage of Miss aged 13, with Mr. P.—, aged 53,
against her will and inclination." He should therefore resist any
attempt to procure an examination without his being prevent.
The Magistrate, Counsellor GROVES, said the subject was
not one that warranted him in deviating so much from the or-
dinary course of proceeding.
Mr. HUBAND then suggested that all persons who were not
concerned either as principals or witnesses, should withdraw.
Mr. FINLAY having consented, the Magistrate gave orders
accordingly.
We have since learned the subject stanch over for further
examination, when the Clergyman by whom the parties were
married (as alleged) is to be examined. A summons for his •
attendance was immediately issued.—( Durham Freeman's
Journal.)

Yesterday a respite until further order, was
received for Walter Fitzmauricc, who, at the last Assizes,
pleaded guilty to the charge of being an accomplice in the ab-
duction of Miss Goold, and whose execution was fixed for this
day.—( Cork Advertizer, Sept. 7.)

business, we shall leg him." Witness told the circumstance to
Mr. Woods, the Clerk of the Office. _ .

Crosszexamined.-LHe never mentioned the circumstance to
Sir Richard Birnie, and never went before the Grand Jury to
tell the story. He was, he believed, in the country at the time,
at kghatu, or Staines, but did not continue there. Observing
that Mr. Parking had taken tip the business, lie mentioned the
fact to him. He could not recollect whether he was in London
at the last Sessions at the Old Bailey or not. He thought he
was in London.

Jameg Pike; a publican keeping the Harp in RUssell-street,
proved that he. saw Jay on the night in question, with the first
of his Majesty's coaches. Witness was taking some porter to
the two-shilling gallery at the time. Jay was seated on the
coach-box. At a little after ten, Jay came into his public-
house to have a plate, of ham. He ate it, and drank with one
of his fellow-servants. He saw Jay nearly up to the last
minute when the King left the theatre, anti saw him taking
the clothes off the horses. He saw nothing improper in his
conduct.
Examined by the COURT.—About 10 minutes afterwards
the King came out; he saw nothing more of him.
William Nettleton had been a parish constabld of St. Mar-
tin's for 17 years, and during that period had been in the con-
stant habit of attending Drury-lane theatre. He was there on
the night in question. Be was always extremely vigilant in
looking after thieves, and saw nothing of Jay picking pockets.
The probability was, that if he had done it, he should have
seen it.

Cross-examined.—His duty was both in and out of the house
to keep peace. Gook ISMS a constable of St. James's parish.
He knew nothing of the other two defendants.
The witness Thomas Jay was now called into the box, and
cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—He had been about a
year and a half in the King's service before this affair happened.
He was not now in his Majesty's service, nor in any other ser-
vice. He was now supported by his father and mother, and
.partly by his aunt. He could read and write. He could not
recollect whether he had written a letter to the Morning Post.
Have you within this last week written a letter to the Morn-
ing Post g--1 cannot recollect.
The CHAIRMAN desired the witness to recollect himself and
to be on his guard. The question was repeated, and the wit
ness answered, " I think a letter was written to the Morning
Post."

Cross-examination continued by Mr. ADoLmus—Was it
within the last week ?-1 think it wag.

And written by yourself ?—Yes.
Upon the subject of the trial ?
Mr. ALLY objected to this question, and it was waved.
The witness said he ail write this letter, and thought it had
been inserted in the paper. He saw it in the paper the morn-
in„ after it was printed. lie could not tell whether he saw it
on Saturday last, September 7th, or not. He thought it might
be thereabouts: It was before Sunday he saw it.
Who told you to write the letter ?—I wrote it myself.
Do you mean to say that no one told you to- write it ?—I
wrote it myself. _ _

Did no one give you the words and form of it ?—No, I
wrote it myself, and had nobody to help me. Before I sent it,
I told Mr, Parkins I intended to send it.

Oh you did, did you ? and did Mr. Parkins tell you also that
he had expended 121. for. you ?—He might have spent it for
me, for any thing I know.
Did he tell you be had spent it ?—I know nothing but what
I can prove.
How came you to send the letter to the Alorning Post ?--lt
was by my own thought that I sent it.
Have you received any subscription in consequence ?—That
is best known to myself.

Have you received any money to carry on this prosecution ?
What I get I shan't tell.

By the COURT—Have you received any ?—I have.
The letter sent to the Mei ning Post was here produced, and
shown to witness. He was then asked who wrote that letter ?

A friend of mine, a person of the name of Harrison. --
How came you just now to say that you wrote it yourself,
and of your own suggestion ?—1 said it was through me that it
