SECTION IT

Bet how dries it happen, Sire, that when we
lave just snug praises for victory over the
=reign enemy, we are: so unfortunate as to lie
placed a aitin,tion, t,f so great domestic peril ?
Is it possible, that your _Majesty, after labouring
to search or welt, who by the exact discharge of
'their duty might make us hippy; the vineyard of
-our itatitei, instead of fruit, lias produced thorns
-surd thistles t Is it possible, that having so many
:Mtosistrates and' Alieisters who have given proofs
of fidelity to Your• Majesty, the Country, antl.Re-
ligioe, so far:• as to undergo A thousand hardships,
end even to expose their life, 'can he remiss or
•ss in the pet formaace of their duty can it
be possible ? ,
Ah ! From this place, methinks, I hear the
various :11ieisters who sae; " There has been no-
thing %ranting ou my part to contribute to the
ntitional felicity ;—I can do no more :—I am vi-
pliant to obtain just ends; I, propose what is
proper ;—hut initnicus honio . . . A seetet agent,
nn enemy sows tares, and _renders all my labours
fruitless:" NVhat a misfortune ! " No blame can
attach to me," says the other illagistrate, " I exe-
eute,all that the King coniniands, and what the laws
prescribe ; I study to decide with justice ; I take
care not to prejudice by my decrees title merit ;
but inireires honto—the enemy—tho•secret agent,
undermines and levels with the earth my whole
svork." How grievotts ! I hear General Officers
of merit and long standing in the army who con-
Tend : " In every thing I ;rutty the happiness of
my soldiers ; I labour that nothing may be want.
; I solicit- equity in the distribution cif pitc,
motion and rewards ; and by every means in my,
power I try to ameliorate the organization of the
army ;—but inimices Ronne—thc enemy frustrates
my intentions—ruins my pLis, and puts us all
in• the uttermost distress,, In this way, Sire, do
many of those labourers express themselves who
the appointed to cultivate this great vineyard.
‘e But who is this secret Agent ? Who is the
inimical person who frustrates the best intentions
of your Majesty and the labours of the husband-
men ? Ak l sire, take care that he be not near
you who does so much mischief. He is among cur-
selveS. It is easy to discover him if we search witli
pains. Already 1 have him in my eye. I was
about- to name him ; but no ; in this place the
name of the Sinner cannot le mentionell. I shall
give his marks without specifying his person.
'Phis will be enough for our remedy. Hear now
the enemy is he Nvilo dues not seek for peace ; be
who plungers into sliseord and broils ; who is
contented to behold the Spaniards a prey
to divisions and discord—he who does not
seem sensible of the sentence of our Sa-
viour, that a house divided against itself shall
not stand ; he who despises the prayer of the same
Divine Master, who cries to the Eternal Father
that we may be all the same thing, through love,
that the Father awl the Son are by nature ; he
w!.:, does not weigh the zeal and special diligence
with which the apostle St. Pahl !about ed to im-
press this most important truth on the hearts of
Christian,. He is properly an Atiti-Christ e a
savage who has such a heart, and does such things
oeght to be banished to the woods and forests,
that he may dwell with his equals.
" The enemy, also, is lie who shouting lira
Ferattade, la Pat, ia: y Religion, obtrudes himself
itito the Govertimeht, overturns the established
'regulations, satisfying in the mean time, his rapa-
cious ambition wit h places, pensions, and honours,
at the expence of the itmocent nation.—This ene-
my is easily known. Let your 111ajesty only notice
those who appear either with plans or projects of
cc:weeny in favour of the comitry—let your Majesty
telly exemine their hands when they recite, and
if they carry flesh in their claws, that is, any of-
fice, &c. &c. there is no doubt that they are those
we seek—those who do us -Vo much mis-
chief —those who have given occasion to the new
adag •, which is repeated even by the children in
the streets, namely, lira Pernando, y Yawls Ro-
ta Long live Ferdinand, and let us culla-
MIC robbing !"
" Finally, the enemy is lee who makes useless,
or parllyies the wise and just determinations of
your Majesty, depriving the greater part of the
nation of what were trusted to them for its use.
lint what mournful consequeuces dues this dis-
order induce % Ah ! The Mitii-sters of Religion
feel them, your military men lament them, and
the enemies of the Throne through then) take oe-
casion to censure it, and, as far as is in the power
of their malevolence, to destroy it.
Finally, "Sire, as is said by St. Augustine,
that man who is inimical is the devil incarnate,
but so subtile, that he endeavours' to insiimate
himself even into your Cabinet,
to saw tares, and
to separate you trOm those two angels Whorls God
has placed by your side as companions, and to
influence your Counsels by all possible means.
Already, Sire, you must Understand that I speak
of the Royal Infautas.—The end is well known
it is to leaVe you solitary, without any support,
teat your great soul may be more easily attacked
by the world, the flesh, and the devil.
It is here, Sire, that your vigilance and jus-
tice must shine; in discovering anti abandoning
ituthediately this monster of the human race.
From the moment that you -do so, the l'ineyieret
that- the rather of an families has entrusted to
your care, will begin to ninon' and,to brier.; forth
cophsos fruits. Immediately the exertions at many
laiNotrers will prove useful to you, witii°"t your
being obliged to fulminate against them the sen-
tence of a ile3pot. A barvest more rich, than

"- God of my life ! Jesus of illy :heart ! hear

our beloved Ferdinand, and for his Galliolic

not apply the hand of thy adorable Providence to
finish the work. For co-operating in such good,
we want thy special favour ! ‘lre,yant that flame
of charity, which thou hest taken from the world ;
that spirit of peace which the Angels announced
to the Shepherds, and which thou
.so often bast
recommended to thy disciples, that they might
preach and impress it upon the bearis of the sons'
of Adam. Pox vobis—Pacem reliaqus
tem meam do vobts.—Thus, 0 Lord ! we will be
one soul and one heart, as thou bast commanded
it : we will be useful labourers, in the vincyat d of
this Catholic nation ;. and in the company of the.
best King, that with thy mercy thou bast given
us, we will pass into the city of peace, to enjoy
thy presence in gloty.-0 ! let it be so, 0 Lord.

iswhro we e2hort h;1 Majesty to co-operate in the recon-
ciliation and union of the Spaniards, we do not wish this to be
done promiscuously and without discretion. The disunited
consist of three class-s. The first is that. (tithe worst—those
who are incorrigible and therefore irreconcileable. These
must be destroyed immediately. To the second class belong
those that have alienated themselves from the eanse of the
King, from weakness and mistaken calculations. If these
acknowledge their error and leave their party, it will be ex-
pedient to receive them ; but not to the confidence,- nor to
the participation of employments, till by their, conduct, well
observed by t;ovvrnment, they have deserved both the one
and the other. Titus, the supreme authority yeniains ri
gorous, and the liovernment, with three hundred enemies
less, that wilt be as many nbtidient subjects/friendly and 'de-
sirous of rec,;nri:;;iton. Thu King, our master, has given
-us lucre a go,:d example of what he asks, admitting to recon-
ciliation and even to egioloyments every one that knew how
to deserve them after having left the adverse party. This is
very just,and very proper among Catholics. In the third
class are included the weak and 'voluble, -concerning whom
there is no great necessity to -exercise the utmost vigilance,
although it may be proper to observe them.

ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

gR.,EDITOR,—As the prorogation of Parlia-
pent is the signal. of retirement to the great and
little world, and as all whb can afford,to migrate
at the present period of the year, are inclined to .
enjoy the quiet seclusion of a watering place, I
think you should imitate the Morning Papers in
their Accounts of Arrivals and Departures. Sony -
BULL and his. family are very curious, and like
to knots " ,Who and who are together.- I con,
fees I participate in the family failing, and like
to know how the world wags. While I ant in
London the Morning Papers give me sufficient in-
fdrntation on this subject, but as I Ain on theeve-
of setting oil for the sea-side, where I can have
no hopes of seeing those august channels of link..
versa' intelligenee, and must content myself' with
an rvening Paper, in which it is not .nSual-
to notice the movements of the fashionable
world, knowledge " at one entrance," as MIL-.
TON • Sap, will be quite " shut out," unless
you will kindly introduce this species
tai in-
formation in your columns. Ido not,
.to quote
from amother'great writer, Dr. JOHNSON, want to
know the motions of " the sons and daughters of
Laties and Alleys," yet, not only myself, but all

11111.1 DICEHE rmArm ittineAr ?

LONDON,

S,iTURD.II; JULY 22, 1815.

One of the dishonest expedients to which a contemptible
Morning Print resorts, in order to revenge itself for the cas-
tigation it receives from Tice SUN, is a constant endeavon; to
describe another most respectable Evening Paper as the
Semi-Official Organ of Ministers, and consequently to depre-
ciate our Publication in the eyes of the world, thcnigh it well
kitoWs that TILE SUN liOsseses as much of the confidence of
Government and is a;; highly favoured with all Communica-
tions, which it is thought expedient to promulgate through
the Country, as any Newspaper in the Empire.

We think this statement due to the character and rCsponsi-
bility•of.ottlf...JOurnal, thins unfairly and insidiously attacked.
sy* dr it to rob no (Alters of the merit which belongs to
them ; but when these ruisiepresentations are so malignantly
calAlyted to injure us not only in Great Britain hut on the
Couttitent, it is not vanity but self-delenee that compels us to
.repat that th-re is not an English Newspaper
in existence
which speaks Inure directly or officially the language of Go-
verniaent.

.There are various reports in circulation re-
specting the manner in which BUONAPARTE • is
ii4ely to be treated by our Government, if he
should be landed As a Pilsoner in this country.—
We'have reason to believe ibat GoVernment have
-come to no determination on the subject, but
most probably the decision will be such as will be
the "result of a general concurrence among the
Allied Powers.

The Morning Chronicle, who loves despotism ,
when it appears in the' shape of a Jaeobin
Luiperor, is sadly down in the mouth for the fate
of BUONAPARTE. As usual, he hazards a few lit-
tle inaccuracies on the occasion of his fallen Pa-
tron being driven ion) the Toils. i-Ic calls it, lu-
dicrously enough, " a voluntary Surrender to the.
Pal sce REGENT." lie gives the Traitor the soft
appellation of " a Prisoner of War;" and he
sends him to Dumbarton Castle, where Ge-
neral Le CLERC, he tells us, %ea; shit as a
prisoner. I-Ic means, we presume, General St-
moN—hut it is all one to the Chronicle; and
he states boldly, that orders have been., given
by telegraph to send him directly to the Clyde, &c.
Now; though we do not pretend to say what the
intentions of ;Ministers may be with regard to the
disposal of this man, should he ever arrive at a
British port, we are pretty confident that they
will never allow him to pollute the soil of Great
Britain.: .7

It is a national triumph that after,defeating the
designs of this person on one element where he
was so powerful, we have shewn that the influ-
ence of Britain pervades another element to such
extent as to render escape from its pursuit
as hopeless as victory over its warriors.—
We rejoice that the contest has concluded as

it began, -with a demonstration of- our match-
less ascendancy on the Ocean. Our Navy hav-
ing early in the War so completely an-
nihilated it adversaries.; as to have had few op-
portunities of displaying its oative might during
the last years of the Contest, it is particu-
larly gratifying that It should thus come
in at the close to revive its honours, and
share the glory of terminating the career
of the' Scourge of Mankind with the Army—
its: gallant and noble compeer in raising our
, Country to the, acme of greatness. The exer-
tions of Lord MELVILLE and the Board of
—Admiralty on this occasion, .ought not to be
passed by without a tribute- of warm apPlause.
But I'm- their diligeuce, zeal, and alacrity, the
Rebel might have found his way to inflame other
%Torn's, and perhaps even to return again to agi-
tate flint which has already suffered so dreadfully
through his ambition. and his crimes.

BUONAPARTE has gained nothing by his com-
pelled surrender. The wide shores Of France—
the boundless limits of the Seas offered him no
possibility of eluding the•vigilance of our cruisers,
encircling the coast, and spread over the surface of
the distant waves. Ile -ivas Consevervfly seized,
:dial there was uOtliitig voluntary in' his surren-

der. But is his guilt in any de.gree lessened,
or his claim to mercy strengthened by this
circus►stance-? Certainly not—there is nothing,
as far as regards the particulnr mode of his
capture, which can at idi affect the question as to
his punishment. His first wish was to escape front
the E►tglish, and when.si►ut out from sust hope, be.
