FOR THE SUN.

IMa. EDITOII.—I waited a day, in order that
some abler pen than mine might undertake an
immediate and indignant exposure of a paragraph
in a French paper, the Eloile, a translation of
which appeared in your Paper. From your
Journal, more especially, the public, 1 expect,
will look for an unequivocal denial of that ca-
lumnious passage, and they ought not to be dis-
appointed. The British Press, I pereceive, no-
ticed it ; but so tamely and so liberally (as the
expression is uow-a-days understood), as to be
altogether unworthy of the most honourable
name a newspaper tan assume. To attempt an
elaborate refutation, would be doing more than
justice with such an antagonist, who writes either
perfectly at random, without the slightest infor-
mation on the subject on which he scribbles, or
with a wilful and deliberate determination to
misrepresent and belie. In the squalid obscu-
rity of some Parisian garret, his pen, wielded by
hunger, scatters with desperate rapidity over his
paper the monstrous forgeries and distortions
which ignorant and bigotted prejudice have sup-
plied him with over a broken cup full of meagre
coffee among the politicians of the Cabinet Po-
litique. But lot not the French public be de-
ceived : if there be any respectable reader of the
Eloile, let him not imagine that England is a
country where the political and ecclesiastical es.'

People of France ! if there be any of you in-
fatuated enough to believe the Eloile, come here,
and judge for yourselves. Do not be alarmed,
lest nothing short of conformity to our national
religion should ensure you a safe abode here, or
a safe return to your own country. Are you
members of the Church of Rome ? You shall eat,
drink, sleep in perfect secuxity ; you shall travel
all over the country without a passport or an in-
quiry, like ourselves : nay, more, Gentlemen, in
this exterminating land you shall go to your own
worship without any danger of being burned for
it—you shall become members of the gg Catholic
Association," collectors of the "Catholic Rent ;"
you shall write pamphlets against the persecution
of the government which protects you, against the
illiberality of the religion which tolerates and
supports you ; in a word, you shall write the
Eloile. You shall do your best to overthrow
Church and Constitution ; and when all this is
allowed, you shall exclaim, " what monstrous
bigotry not to give us all!" Have your minds
been impressed with the sublime doctrines of the
'6 Goddess of Reason ?" Go to her " Temple"
in Fleet-street : read the Westminster Review!

If, however, you prefer a middle course, and
the blaze of the Goddess is too dazzling for your

France, come here, and judge for yourselves,
whether EXTERMINATION or DISSENTERS be the
leading principle of THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT,
or whether, on the contrary, THERE DE ANT

The question of the Catholic Claims (as they
are ealled,in what other nation could such claims
be heard ?) is a long one, and the Mode, it is to
be supposed, is too full of ignorance and prejudice
to listen to its discussion. But let it, be ever
understood, that it is not a question of veligious
toleration, but of political safety ; we require the
Members of our Legislature to acknowledge by
oath the supremacy of the Magistrate under whom
they are to legislate, and the total absence of
any right in foreign Potentates to intermeddle in
our political mutters. It is of no knportunce
whether objections to this oath arise from reli-
gious or other considerations; our history, as well
as common reason, shows the expediency of this
regulation. If the Papists will submit to it, no
further inquiry into their religion will he made.
If the Male is exulting in escaping from the
scissors of the Censors, let him know that there
is still at Paris u high Censorship ; the Tribunal
of Public Estimation. The enlightened part of
the French public are not to be blinded by the
fogs of his dulness. They know how to appre.
date the feeling which, for the sake of pamper-
ing at once its hunter and its malignity, panders
to the sickly appetites of vulgar prejudices, in ca.
lumniating a tuition which the best, bravest, and
wisest among themselves regard with the highest
respect. BRITANNUS.

Cutr.n-naopetiva.—On Tuesday morning a
singular discovery took place in Lambeth church.
appeared that t!-meeting had been held in the
vestry before the rector, churchwardens,
the disih.sal of parochial matters respecting the
separated,
affairs of the parish, after which they &c. for
as did the sexton, only leaving in the church the

clergyman, who transact ;
but on his retiring he Wit& surprised to find a
parcel carefully wrapped up a white cambric
handkerchief,
placed within the inner door of
the church. The minister instantly informed
the sexton (Mr. Seeger) of the circumsvance,
who, on opening the said parcel, discovered the
body of a new-born male child, quite dead.—
Mr. Guy, one of the parish surgeons, was sent
for, who examined the body, and pronounced it

Such is the extreme pressure in Spain, that the
Clergy fear they must necessarily part with a
portion of their lands.—{French Paper.)
The late Mr. GALAMN, whose death at the ad.
vanced age of• 87, occasioned the recent contest
in the City for the office of Bridge.master, had
so entirely lost his recollection for nearly a year
before his decease, that on the death of his wife,
which happened In July last, he was scarcely
conscious of the loss, and was with difficulty eon.

A Private Express has arrived from Paris,
and it is reported that the French Rentes have
come 102 f. 50c. No news as yet from South
America, which is so very anxiously expected.

We have received this morning Frankfort
Papers to the 7th instant, the contents of which
are quite unimportant. On the 19th ultimo M.

iiity, in the Church of the Holy Cross at War-
saw, as Archbishop and Primate of the Kingdom
of Poland.
