voice: a great sin against God ; that it is in violation of
God's word, an interference with Christ's arrangements,
and an assumption of powers and prerogatives which Ilc
has &ept from them, and conferred upon the Church.
It is an assumption substantially of the same jurisdiction
in the government of Christ's house ; and I venture to
say that it is not lessened, perhaps it may be increased,
because that assumption is made by the civil power, in
place of a power calling itself ecclesiastical. Not only
is it a great and heinous sin and to be regarded in this
light, but it is fraught with danger to the rights and
liberties of the Church and people of Scotland."

Mr. CUNINGHAME, then, objects to the Court
of Session enforcing the law of the land, unless
that law prescribes the means of enforcing it, and
lays on the Presbytery some heavy punishment for
disobedience. In England, the omitting to obey
such a positive enactment would be a misdemeanour,
and Mr. CUNINGHAME'S doctrines might here end
in a two years' imprisonment. In Scotland there
must be some similar mode of enforcing the autho-
rity of the law and the Court of Session. It has
the power to cause its own decrees to be obeyed.
Not to obey the order of the Court, made to en-
force a statute, must be considered a higher offence
than merely to omit fulfilling the conditions of a
statute, and either Mr. CUNINGHAME and the
Presbytery must carry the order of the Court i•►to
effect, or go to prison.
But Mr. CUNINGHAME, speaking in the name
of the ALMIGHTY, as all the clergy speak, asserts
that this assumption of jurisdiction over the go-
vernment of CHRIST'S house, is a great and hein,:us
sin. The Presbytery adopted the resolution which
this speech recommended, and the Presbytery go
with Mr. CUNINIIIIAME in resisting the ordinances
of authority for the LORD'S sake. The Church,
then, is at issue with the law on the point of autho-
rity ; and while it declares disobedience in laymen
. to,be sin, it declares the acts of authority, in rela-
tion to the clergy, to be sin. Its doctrines are
fashioned to the passing hour. They are adapted
as they arc required and paid for, to make men the
slaves of the State, or the State the slave of the

priesthood.
Mr. CUNINGHAME'S objection to the jurisdic-
tion of the Court of Session is not in substance
different from an objection now frequently made in
England. It is naturally assumed in both countries
that as the Statute Lawlprovides for one thing it ought
to provide for another. As it enacts that the Presby-
tery " should admit and receive a qualified person,"
it ought to have ordained a penalty or punish-
ment for not obeying, and ought to have
described how the fine was to be le vied
and the latter inflicted. It ought to have
followed out the business to the end, and not have
regulated one-half by positive statute, and left the
other to the arbitrary will of Judges. All that, it
does not prescribe, and which the Court neverthe-
less does, is Judge-made law. Mr. CUNINGHAME
says that " the attempt of the Court to supply the
deficiency of the statute is breaking the law and
setting themselves above the law. They assume to
themselves the duty of legislation." In substance,
then, the priests of the Scotch Church do not much
differ from the philosophic BENTHAM and his dis-
ciples, who object in the strongest terms to the
Judge-made laws of the Courts.
Other persons make a similar objection when it
suits their own purposes. The House of Com-
mons, for example, would never, on a question of
privilege, oppose a statute which could completely
overrule a privilege. The laws which the Coin-
mons and the Lords oppose are, like the assump-
tions of jurisdiction to which Mr. CUNINGIIAME
objects, Judge-made laws. In fact, therefore, the
priesthood, enlightened jurisconsults, and the two
Houses of Parliament, treat Judge-made or common
law with contempt, and recognise only the statute
law. Such a conflict between authorities claiming
respect seems well calculated to unsettle the reason
or the obedience of the nation.

It is plain from the united objections of the
clergy, the two Houses of Parliament, and enlight-
ened jurisconsults, that all laws, even to their
minutest consequence, should be written, and should
be deliberately enacted. The yearly increase of
statutes setting aside, term after term, more and
more of the common law is perhaps intended to
realise this object. Will the change be beneficial ?
The common law is unknown even to the Judges-
The statute law is a confused jumble which they
are often puzzled to apply, and can never unravel.
It now, however, becomes the duty of the priest-
hood, who have invalidated the authority of law for
their own purposes, to teach us laymen the grounds
of obedience, and to relieve us from all doubts as to
what is and what is not to bs obeyed.

The French Journals of Sunday are before us.
The debate on the Bill for the fortifications of
Paris was fixed for Thursday, when a member of
the Opposition, M. LARABIT, was to move that
the continuous line should be erected before the
detached forts. It was expected that this moticn
would be supported by M. ODILLON BARROT
and the Left, and opposed by the Government,
by which the relative strength of the different
parties in the Chamber would be at once ascer-
tained. Already has the suspicion arisen among
the Opposition that the Government has no inten-
tion of erecting a wall of circumvallation round
Paris, and that only detached forts are wanted,
the guns of which will easily bear upon every dis-
trict of the capital. Nothing but the sheerest stu-
pidity on the part of some members of the Oppo-
sition, and a corrupt betrayal of the liberties of
their country on the part of others, could have so
long concealed this fact from every member of the
French Legislature. A line of detached forts is all
that is required by the KING to bridle the revolu-
tionary party. The Government only wants such
forts to be in a condition to reduce the Parisians
to the most unqualified sub►nission. The KING,
Marshal SOULT, even M. TILLERS himself, know
the project of surrounding such a city as Paris with
a wall to keep out an invading army to he wholly
preposterous. But it is necessary to gull the popu-
lace ; and for such a purpose no better instrument
could be chosen than the leader of the war
faction, the ex-Minister 'lnuits. This man has
sold himself and his country to the Court. We stated
at the period of his last resignation that he had
done so, and that he only resigned to avoid the
consequences of his own rash and puerile policy.
The majority of the journals, French and English,
contended at the time that there would be war to
the knife in the Chambers—that M. TRIERS, ap.
pealing to French passions, would place himself at
the head of the war faction, and, after storming the
Cabinet, plunge all Europe into war. We knew
the ex-Minister better than to share in such a de-
lusion ; and accordingly intimated that having op-
posed the Government enough to save:appearances,
he would grow quiet, and seemingly resigned to a
state of things which he could not change. Sub
sequent events have shown that we were not at all
mistaken.

The French Journals contain ample details of
the ut►fortunate disturbances in Switzerland. Ex-
tracts from them are given in another part of The
Sun.

We find in one of these papers a letter from
Semlin of the Ist instant, which
the deposition of hich states that the
Porte had refused to revoke
MEHEMET ALI. This statement is untrue. On
the 27th ult. Captain WALKER sailed from Con-
stantinople to Alexandria, charged to bring back
the Turkish fleet, accompanied by an officer of high
rank from the Divan, who was to deliver to the
VIcERoY two Imperial firmans, the one revoking
the sentence of deposition, and the other conferring
upon him the hereditary Government of the

Pachalic of Egypt. This news we have reason to
believe has been officially communicated to the
Four Powers.

The Criminal Court of Bamberg, in Austria, lately sen-
tenced to 5, 10, 15, and 20 years' imprisonment in the
fortress of Spiclburgh, a number of Poles, convicted of
having belonged to secret societies.
The Temps and Quotidiehne announce that Governor
Roses intends to come to France with his daughter, on
board the French squadron.
The celebrated Bertrand Barren., formerly member of
the National Convention, died, on the 13th inst., at
Tarbes, his native place, in the 85th year of his age.
After making himself conspicuous as a lawyer in the Par-
liament of Toulouse, he became a journalist and a political
man. Barrerc was a member of the States General, of
the Constituent Assembly, of the Tribunal of Cassation, of
the National Convention, of which he was President in
1792, of the Legislative Body, and of the Chamber of
Deputies of the hundred days, and took a most active part
in the political struggles of the last 50 years.
The Courier Francais attacks the Ministers on the sub-
ject of the convention concluded between France and
Buenos Ayres.
The Courier forgets that this convention, which besides
fulfils all the conditions laid down in the ultimatum of
France, was signed by Rear-Admiral Musicals and the
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Roses on the 30th of Oct ,
that is two days after the accession of the present Ministry.
Perhaps, too, it forgets that Admiral Mackau has followed
in every point the instructions which he received from the
Cabinet of the Ist of March.

The Commerce speaks this morning of the omission said
to have been pointed out in the applications for supple-
mentary and extraordinary votes of credit, and which it
says amounts to no less than 150 millions. This assertion
is inaccurate, no omission has been made; the project of law
which the Minister of Finance is to present shortly to the
Chamber of Deputies, is that which he has announced and
which related to the distributions of the proceeds of the
loan among the various branches of the extraordinary pub-
lic works.—Moniteur.

Reports arc in circulation at Toulon which say that the
English ship of the line Bellerophon, the same which, in
1815. conveyed Napoleon front Rochefort to England, has
perished on the coast of Syria , and that an English
frigate is also lost. We need not add that these state-
ments want confirmation.—Le Conststutionnd,
VIENNA, JAN. 8 —The island of Candia was restored to
the dominion of its Sovereign, the Sultan, on the 17th of
December. Mari Hey, the Turkish Commissioner, arrived
on the 15th in the bay of Sudo, on board of the Austrian
brig Montecuculi, and made his entry into Candia on the
14th. The firman was published on the 17th, by which
the island is restored to the immediate dominion of the
Sultan, and Mustapha Pacha, hitherto governor for Me-
hemet Ali is continued in his office, in consideration of the
important service which he had rendered to the island by
his administration.

We have advices from Lisbon of the 11th, and
from Madrid of the 10th inst. In both capitals
apprehensions were entertained that the dispute
between Spain and Portugal would lead to unplea-
sant results. The Madrid Gazette of the 10th
contains an official article, commenting in very
severe terms upon the Queen of PORTUGAL'S
Message, and a rumour prevailed both in Lisbon
and Madrid, that the Regency had refused to with-
draw the ultimatum which led to the offer of Bri-
tish mediation. The Duke of VICTORY, who is
supposed to be anxious for war, in order to find
employment for his army, was reported to have
directed the concentration, on the Portuguese
frontier, of a force consisting of sixty battalions
of infantry, nine regiments of cavalry, and MO
pieces of cannon, ready to cross the frontier on the
31st of January, the date of the expiration of the
ultimatum, provided the question was not previ-
ously settled. The DUKE'S plan of campaign is
said to embrace a division of his army into three
corps, and so march simultaneously upon Lisbon,
Oporto, and Santarem. The Portuguese on their
part are prepa:ing for hostilities, although the P►o-
vinces bordering on Spain are already in a state of
insurrection in consequence of the levies of fresh
troops required by the War Minister, and enforced
by the local authorities.

COURT CIRCULAR.

WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince
Albert walked on the Terrace of the Castle and in the
Slopes this afternoon for some time. The Duchess of
Kent has not left the Castle today.
Lady Portman has succeeded the Duchess of Bed-
ford as the Lady in Waiting on the Qu;:en. The Earl
of Listowel has succeeded the Earl of Fingail as the
Lord in Waiting on her Majesty, and Mr. Rich has
succeeded Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Otway as the
Groom in Waiting on her Majesty.
The Royal Dinner Party at the Castle this morning
included the Earl of Uxbridge, Lord PrLet, Lord
Geor,ge Paget, and the Ladies Eleanora and Constance
Paget, Lord and Lady Kinnaird, and Mr. G. E.
and the Hon. Mrs. Anson.

A Cabioet Council was held yesterday afternoon a
the Foreign-office. The Ministers present were Vic
count Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, Ma•-quis o
Liusdowne, Earl of Clarendon, Marquis of Normauby
Viscount Palmerston, Lord John Russell, the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, Earl of Minto, Viscount Dun-
cannon, the Right lion. H. Labouehere, Lord Mor-
peth, and the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay.
The Agent for Jamaica, accompanied by Mr. P.
Moncrieffe, had an inteniew with Lord John Russell
esEerday at the Colonial-office.

The Marquis of Lansdowne, as Lord President of
the Council, will give, on the 00th instant, a grand
dinner, at which the Roli of Sheriffs forthe present year
%till be arranged, previous to its being submitted to her
Mjesty in Council.
Despatches from the Governor of Gibraltar were re-
ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office.

The odour of some persons is said to have been
quite a perfume. Plutarch mentions that Alexander the
Great smelt, not of carnage like a hero, but most plea-
santly. Fragrance proceeded also from Augustus. In
the memoirs of the Queen of Navarre we read that Cathe.
rine de Medici was a nosegay ; and Cujacius the civilian,
and Lord Herbert of Cherbury, were equally delightful.
Dr. Speranza lately witnessed a strong balsamic fragrance
from the inner part of the left forearm of a healthy man,
which continuo d, espcially in the morning, for two months,
and ceased for good en the supervention of fever. Van
Swieten mentions a man whose left armpit smelt strongly
of musk ; and Wedel and Gahrliess saw each klimilar ex-
emple,—Dr. Elliotson's Human Phipiology,

COHN•LAWS - AVERAGES -

FIXED DUTY.

We mentioned on this day week, in reference to
the quotation we then made from the Edinburgh
Revictv, that we would reconsider the question oi
a fixed duty on food, and state the result. We
shall now first beg leave to reproduce Sir Robert
Peel's objections to such a duty, all of which we
consider well-founded. Before the Reviewer, in
!he teeth of all his own arguments on the subject
of import duties, adopted the incongruous recom-
mendation of a fixed duty, he should have consi-
dered and answered Sir Robert Peel's objections.

Before we place the quotation under the eyes of
our readers, we will make another remark. Sir
Robert dwells with earnestness and censure on
the " expedients " which would be resorted to, in
order to influence the price when it reached nearly
70s. Those expedients, therefore, are immoral, in
Sir Robert Peel's opinion ; and he puts them forth
as objections to a law establishing a fixed duty.
The law which would cause them is at least an
objectionable, if not an immoral law. But similar
expedients arc now continually had recourse to, and
all Sir Robert Peel's objections to the " expedients"
under a fixed duty, the justice of which we admit,
apply with a tenfold force to the present fluctuating
scheme. Within the last six months we have seen
its beauties, we may almost say, on an exaggerated
scale. Till the averages reached a price at which
wheat was imported duty free, it is an undoubted
fact that they never corresponded to the actual
price at which the baker bought flour from the
miller, and at which the working miller actually
bought it of the farmer, and consequently never
corresponded to the price at which bread was sold.
It was accordingly to many persons a subject of
surprise, and of almost universal complaint, after
the averages had attained the height for which the
" expedients" were had recourse to, and after they
had fallen from 735. to 655., that there was no cor-
responding fall in the price of bread. In fact, the
price of bread and the averages seem to have very
little connection. They do not rise and fall toge-
ther. The intention of the Legislature, then,
which is to let in wheat when bread is dear, and
keep it out when bread is cheap, is not fulfilled.
It is humbugged and deceived. Its power is prac-
tically mocked at and set at. nought by the " ex-
pedients" which suit the purses of -speculators.
The present law is ineffectual as well as immoral, and
the Legislature itself is imbecile as well as wicked.
It cannot reach its own ends. Whatever mischief
it may do—and God alone knows how vast is that,
for human abilities cannot measure it—it is
impotent even to give practical effect to its own
enactments. Sir Robert Peel, by the remarks
we shall now quote, acknowledges the immorality
of the body of which he is a member. Will he, by
abstaining from some coercive legislation, to en-
force a correspondence between the price of wheat
and the price of bread, also acknowledge that the
impotency of which we have convicted the Legis-
lature is incurable ?
