FUSE YISM.

Puseyism is a great and growing evil. Though es-
sentially and primevally a theological system, it contains
within it the seeds of the most absolute political ty-
ranny. It is impatient of toleration to opinions, civil
or religious, which are opposed to itself., It has all the
persecuting spirit of Popery, as that spirit has been
exhibited in inquisitions, dungeons, stakes, and 'scaffolds.
It is even worse than Popery, inasmuch as, the perse-
cutions instituted by the Litter were, in almost every
instance, for relgiuus opinions at variance with the
Romish Church ; whereas Puseyism takes cognizance
of liberal opinions in civil and political matters, and
would consign to the dungeons, if not to the scaffold,
any one who ventures to question its authority. It ar-
rogates to itself an authority above that of the Sove-
reign or the Constitution, and, could it only command a
majority in Parliament, it would reduce the Queen to
the extreme condition of a mere machine, and would
compel her to act as its puppet.
Such is the system which is now making such rapid
progress in the land, and sshich, if act speedily at-
tacked, will soon overrun the entire religious Esta-
blishment of England. Already three-fourths of the
clergy of that Church are deeply tinged with this
despotic system. Should it ever obtain the ascend-
ancy in this country—and there is too much reason to
fear that it is rapidly tending that way, it will, at one
fell stroke, deprive us of all that is liberal in politics,
and deny us the right to worship God according to
the dictates of our consciences. The existence of
Dissent would be incompatible with its supremacy. It
would compel uniformity with a rigorous hand,—it
would supersede the Constitution altogether, and
demand a univesal and prompt obedience to its new
authority, under the penalties of imprisonment and death.
Such is the nature of Puseyism. It is as bad re-
ligiously, and worse civ lay, than the rankest Popery,
while it is much more to be dreaded, than the Roman
Catholic faith, inasmuch as it works its pernicious pur-
poses unseen and under false pretexis ; for it assumes a
Protestant name though essentially a Popish system.—

The .Antvver Papers annotinee .4ittk - AK", nego-
tiations for a commercial treaty 4eitweigitikl and
France are again renewed with activity. It would be
gratifying
to see aw
spirit of liberality introduced into the
commercial-. relations of countries with
each ether'
which would benefit mankind at large;, but we are sorry
to hear opinions decidedly expressed, by
_persons inti-
mately acquainted with trade in France, that the class
interests there will prove too strong for the Government,
and that they will not permit the Ministers to offer to
foreigners such equivalents as would be considered by
either Belgium or England reciprocities for the favours
demanded in return.
1 CHAMBER of CoamEßcE:-.4A4pecisiteneral
meeting of this body was held on Wedney at the
Exchange, S. T. Hassell, Esq., President, in the chair,
when motions were passed declaratory of the
.great
services rendered by the proprietors of the London
Times newspaper, in first announcing the names of
the swindlers who intended to defraud the leading
bankers of Europe, and in afterwards proving the
correctness of their information before a Court of
justice, at great labour and expense. The opinion of
the meeting was, that these eminent mercantile services
deserved more than the thanks of the mercantile com-
munity ; and the Chamber approved of the design of
the London Committee to raise some suitable and lasting
