REWARD OF IM EnlT. Let no man say that
Lord WELLESLEY is not generous. We understand it is the
intention to establish a new " Court of Appeals," and that a
celebrated " Roman Catholic Barrister," the confidential ad-
viser and private friend of the Noble Marquess, and who now
holds a high official situation, is to be appointed the Judge of
this new Court. Rumour also adds, that another " Roman
Catholic Barrister," of less celebrity than the former, but also
the confidential adviser and private friend of the Noble Mar-
quess, is to have the office becoming vacant. How very consi-
derate it is that whet; the laws exclude persons of a certain class
from certain situations, places are made for them, and yet
" Roman Catholic Banisters" presume to complain ; but there
is no satisfying some people.—(Dublin

A PROTESTANT CrOVERNMENT.-" The Government of
Berne has just issued two remarkable ordinances. By one the
exercise of the Catholic religion is authorised in the city of
Berne, so long as there shall not result from it any abuses or
disagreeable consequences ; but at the same time, as well as
the Ecclesiastics of that religion as all other Catholics, are
strictly enjoined to refrain from all kinds of attempts, direct
or indirect, to induce Protestants to change their religion.
Every contravention will be considered as a formal infraction
of the laws of the country, and as a violation of the religious
peace, and severely punished."—( Freeman's Journal.)
This is as it should be, and is an example worthy the imita-
tion of the British Government. Switzerland, like England
and Ireland, is a Protestant country, and like the latter had
often been the scene of Popish massacre and outrage. No two
countries are, in many respects, more alike than Switzerland
and Ireland, and in none more than the persecutions which,
from time to time, the Protestants have endured, and in the
attempts made and still making by Jesuits to work upon
the feelings of the ignoble vulgus, anti again to give Po-
pish bigotry and intolerance the mastery in both coun-
tries. The government of Berne has bought its experi-
ence at a dear rate ; so have the Irish Protestants, though me-
mory, with some of our Legislators, seems to have lost its seat
The Jesuits are at work in Switzerland—but Government has
placed its finger upon their operations; they are unceasing in
their labours in Britain, but have contrived to throw a veil
over the eyes of those who should be the Guardians of our re-
,' Fgion and our peace. This veil must speedily be withdrawn._
