et distinctions, to cover their designs, to

deceive and to ensnare, all their hatred of Pro.
testants, under the designation of heretics, remains
in full force, and they would inflict the same
horrors on the latter if they could once more ob-
tain the ascendant. Shall, then, this dangerous
CATIIOLIC ASSOCIATION be permitted to levy
contributions upon their adherents in order,
as we said before, to be enabled to bribe their
rout to the destruction of the Established Church?
It is time for Government to interpose and check
this most alarming mischief. We well know
the ensnaring •pfactices of Roman Catholic
Priests, and when artifice is supported by corrup-
tion, we have reason to fear that a large por-
tion of the People may be drawn into their
power. We know that some members of the
Established Church think that greater danger may
be expected from Di ss ENTERS than from PAPISTS,
but the former are by no means so conscientiously
anxious to make converts as the latter, and if
they could obtain the ascendancy would never
propagate their doctrines by fire and the sword.
We therefore invoke our Government to pay
particular attention to the Progress of this for.
mitlable Body, the Catholic Association, which is
the more dangerous and alarming, inasmuch as
there are several able but misguided writers,
who employ the l'unr.ic PRESS in support of its
daring machinations

This morning we received the melancholy news
that the town of Weissenburg was above half
burnt down in the night of the 10th inst.
We have received advices, that on the 15th of
this month, at eight o'clock in the morning, the
Maine rose to the height of 11 feet, 9 inches;
in the afternoon of the 14th it fell half a foot ;
but during the night it rose again, and it is sup-
posed has attained the height of 20 or 22 feet.
All the lower parts of the town of Wurtzburg
are under water, and are passable only in boats.
It is said that there has been a water spout near
Nuremburg.
Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili-
tary business with the NANG.
The Duke of GLOUCESTER came to town yes-
terday morning from Worcestershire, in come-
(pence of the continued indisposition of his
Duchess, and visited her Royal Highness for
some time. The report of the state of her Royal
Highness's health yesterday was—" The Duchess
has had rather a better night than the preceding
one : her Royal Highness is a little better to.
day."

The Duchess of KENT, the Princess FcononE,
the Princess Sornia, the Duke of YORK, and the
Duke of Sussex, visited the Royal Duchess yes-
terday.

Yesterday Sir CHARLES BAGOT transacted
business at the Foreign Office, previous to his
departure upon his Embassy for the Netherlands.
Yesterday afternoon the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER left town for Beckenham.

The following is an Extract from a private
Latter at Paris, written by an individual of great respectabi-
lity :—" Ministers are extremely industrious in making arrange-
ments for the approaching opening of the Chambers. It is
understood that a firm determination is taken to avoid entering
upon the discussion of any political topic that is likely to lead
to a division. In the Council two changes will take place;
and at the same time it is neary a matter of certainty that there
will be a batch of new Peers."

Extract of .a letter from Pernambuco, dated
the Bth of October, 1824 :—" Brigadier Lima still continues
at the head of the civil and military government in the town of
Pernambtico. The patriot General Ferreira made good his
retreat from Olinda with 800 troops of the line, taking with
him the artillery and ammunition which were there. Ile has
arrived at Lemoeira, about 18 leagues from the town of Per-
nambuco. An Imperial force, under the command of La-
menha, marched to attack him, but is stated to have been de-
feated."

GIBRALTAR, Nov. frigate, said to be an
Algerine, was cruising off Cape St. Vincent's on
the 30th ult., and it is reported that a Portuguese
vessel had been captured by her. An Indepen.
dent privateer was to the eastward a few days
since, and captured several Spanish craft, some
of which she destroyed, and others released. She
has since passed to the westward, and was off
Cape Spartel on the 29th ult.
We understand that a decree has been obtained
from the Emperor of LittAzir., in favour of Mr.
E. OXENFORD, of London, panting to him the
privilege of mining for gold in the district of
Minas Geraes, in Brazil. An association is about
to be formed forthwith, for carrying this decree
into effect.—(Morning• Paper.)
On the arrival lately of the Franklin ship-of-
the-line at New York, after an absence of se.
veral years, no less a sum than 140,000 Spanish
dollars (upwards of 34,0001. sterling) was paid
to the crew for wages due to them. The money
was paid immediately on her arrival.
QUIN had the misfortune one evening to wound
a young man slightly in the hand who had drawn
upon him in a riot at the stage-door of Covent-
garden Theatre. The spark, presently after-
wards, made his appearance in one of the balcony
boxes over the stage-door. The play was Mac-
beth, and in the flue soliloquy where he sees the
imaginary dagger, as Quin repeated, 44 and on
thy blade are drops of reeking blood !" the
young man bawled out, " Aye, reeking indeed !
What, does your conscience prick you ? You
rascal, that's my blood you drew just now !"
The actor, giving him a severe side-glance, re-
plied, just loud enough to be heard by him,
" D—n your blood, l say," and then, without
the least hesitation, went on with the speech, so
that the major part of the audience were uncon-
scious of the interruption.

ALARMING OCCURRENCE.--Yesterday after-
noon, as a lady and gentleman, with an infant,
were proceeding along the Lower-road, Isling-
ton, in a single-horse chaise, the animal was sud-
denly throw» down by two dogs, who were fight-
ing, getting between his legs, which momently
broke the shafts in two, upset the vehicle, and
threw the whole out. The lady was taken up
almost senseless and in hysterics, but shortly
after recovered. Most providentially none of
them were materially injured.
