THE SUN, LONDON, I'UrSDAV., JULY II lc"“1

toured to the horrors of religious and political 'war-- 1
tine.r'an'ae. With the accents of tlieir !.
with professions of the purest love
.theiror P
i Catholic
brethren (as they in moelier•
j call them), they- paint
them as men regardless of an oath, and' as bent on the
murder of all who dissent from their faith, and this
at meetings where a Catholic is not allowed to deny
the falsehoods, and where his exclamations of asto-
nishment and indignation at the injustice, are, with the
most Jesuitical effrontery, put down as expressions of
horror at the doctrines imputed to him. Any impar-
tial person who has attended either of the two exhibi-
tions could not fail to be struck with the cruel injustice
to which Catholic hearers were sz,ubjected, and with the
hypocritical cant and deceitful conduct of the orators.
When any violent expressions of indignation at the
imputations were made by the Catholics on Saturday,
Mr. M'GHEE expressed his delight that these Catho-
tics showed such a horror of the doctrines, while it
was evident to every person in the Hall that they only
expressed the strongest feelings against the false ac-
cusations. Was this done to deceive the people of
this country, and make them believe that these men
had already made converts ? We can believe any
thing of men who practice such injustice, and who
pursue a course which, if successful, would excite in
Ireland, not a civil war, but a war of extermination.
The feelings of indignation and the sense of injustice
were so strongly expressed at the meeting on Satur-
day, that had the numbers been even as one to three—
while they were not one to twenty—nothing could
have prevented a fatal termination to the scene. If
these political bigots (for Christianity is out of the
question) succeed, then farewell to the peace and
security of England. Can any one doubt the object
of such a meeting ? Had Mr. GEO. DAWSON, and
Lord LINCoLN, and Captain GORDON, and Mr.
HoRACE Twrss, no political motives in countenanc-
ing such an exhibition ; and have they so far repu-
diated that spirit of justice for which Englishmen
have ever been celebrated, as to stand by and see the
two parties placed in such unequal combat ? Is a
Catholic to remain silent because he is not authorised
by a Bishop to speak, when the grossest indignity is
heaped upon him? And when his religion is called the
religion of liars and murderers, and he attempts to say
something in his defence, is it consonant with English
justice that a Peer of the realm should order him to
be carried out like a felon? Every impartial observer
is sensible of the injustice of the proceeding and the
motives of the parties. PETER DENS'S damnable
doctrines were allowed to remain in obscurity till a
patriotic Government determined to put all Irishmen
on an equal footing, and reform an establishment
which is a disgrace to the age and the country; but the
whole secret has been let out by Mr. O'SULLIVAN in
his violent attack on the Government, and the measures
which they have in preparation for rendering justice
to Ireland. As to the charge against Catholics, that
they still consider it their duty to put heretics to
death, we only ask, do any of the Catholic monarchs
who have the power ever put such a doctrine in
practice, and is it not repudiated in every kingdom in
Europe ?

The whole of the Paris Papers' of Sunday have
been received. On Satuiday the French Government
received a telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, stating,
that on the 10th instant the first detachment of Bri-
tish Auxiliaries, enlisted in the cause of the Queen of
SPAIN, disembarked from a steamer at St. Sebastian.
Nothing further is added relative to the movements of
the belligerents in the North, nor do we expect any
important intelligence before the English troops shall
have effected a junction with the main body of the
Constitutional army.
The domestic intelligence from Paris is more im-
portant. It will be remembered that the French
Minister of War issued a circular, addressed to
the Military Intendants and the Prefects of
Departments, hearing date the 24th ult., the
object of which was to enable all Frenchmen who
might think proper to take arms in defence of the
Queen of SPAIN, to join the Foreign Legion on its
landing at Barcelona. This circular was well received
in several departments, and in the course of three days
no fewer than three thousand volunteers, and between
two and three hundred veteran officers, offered to march
into Spain, provided they would not thereby forfeit
any of their rights as Frenchmen. Scarcely had their
intentions been communicated to the Military Inten-
dant at Paris, when instructions were issued for-
bidding any answer to be given to the volunteers,
before further orders were received from the Mi-
nister of War. For eight days this state of indeci-
sion prevailed, the public being puzzled to understand
the reason why the Government thought proper to
countermand its first orders. On the 2d inst., how-
ever, Marshal Ma rsoN put an end to all doubt on
the subject of the enlistment, by addressing a second
circular to the Prefects of Departments, in which he
says that his first circular was addressed to them by
Mistake, and that they are to quash all proceedings
undertaken to carry its instructions into effect ! This
looks extremely suspicious. The plea of a mistake
can deceive no person ; for every individual endowed
with a grain of understanding must be sensible, that if
the occurrence of such a mistake were possible,
eight days would not be suffered to intervene
previous to its being corrected. The first circu-
lar had hardly received the signature of the Minister
of War when it was published and commented upon in
the daily Journals,- so that had there actually been a
mistake it would have been corrected in the Moniteur
in the course of the following morning. But such
was not the fact. Russia threatened, and Louis
PHILIPPE took advantage of the threats to compe
Marshal MA isoN to countermand an order to whict

he had previously given a very reluctant consent.
Whether-the King of the FRENCH really dreads a war
with Russia, or whether he feigns apprehensions which
he knows to be groundless, in order to effect certain
political objects which he has in view, we cannot take
upon us to determine ; but whatever be his motives
the consequences are deeply derogatory to the
national character of France. In fact, there is a fata-

lily, if we may be allowed the expression, about the
diplomatic relations of England and France. United

,
together by the strongest ties tnat bind nations—reci-
procity of interest—England and France are now less
respected abroad than either of them were when they
stood alone, the mortal foes of each other. We have
in vain endeavoured to discover a cause for this, dis-

tinct from any charge of incompetency that might be
brought against the public servants in both countries.
Notwithstanding the complaints that are daily
rung in the public ear, we are unable to
find- out any diminution in the national re-
sources, compared with those existing during any
previous per' in our history. The burden of our
debt is a daily rievance, and a never-failing topic with
those who wo*d persuade us to put up with the in-
sults of every State in Europe and Asia, rather than
hazard a war ; and yet the taxes are less oppressive
now than they were at the period in which the first
million of that debt was contracted. We certainly are
not of the number of those who look upon the na-
tional debt as a national blessing ; on the contrary,
we regard. it as an oppressive burden, highly inju-
rious to the industrious classes : but, at the same
time, we maintain that its existence is no argument
in favour of a line of policy which prostrates England
before the footstool of the Czar of MUSCOVY. The
public may depend upon it that the best way to main •
taro a lasting and an honourable peace, is to be always
prepared for war, when the hon Our and interest of the
nation demand it. It is a maxim with despots, that
Statesmen never descant on the blessings of peace till
the sinews of all war—men and money—are destroyed,
and consequently that the time for insulting a nation
with impunity is when her Government expresses the

to enter into -amicable relatioris with
fostire dynasties. Russia has always acted upon this
maxim. Too ignorant to distinguish between conces-
sions made from fear, and, claims conceded from cour-
tesy, and a desire to remove all grounds for dissension,
Russia never fails to attribute every compliance with
her remonstrances as the immediate effect of a fear of
incurring her displeasure. The way to treat Russia is
to bid defiance to her ; the way to obtain and maintain
her friendship is to disregard
'On Saturday, the Court of Peers held a secret
consultation as to whether or not the prisoners who
protested that they would lose their lives rather than
appear before such a tribunal, should be tried in their
absence. After considerable discussion, the further
consideration of the question was adjourned over to
Tuesday (this day). Count MOLE and three other
Peers, after protesting against such a mode of trial,
formally withdrew, after announcing that henceforth
they declined all share in the proceedings. The seces-
sion of these Noblemen has created a great sensation
in Paris. All parties are loud in their denunciations
of the conduct of the KING, which is declared to
be in obedience to positive instructions received from
the Court of St. Petersburg.
Letters from Toulon of the 6th instant state,
that the cholera is raging with the most fear-
ful violence in that city. On the sth, seventy-
three persons were seized with this dreadful pes-
tilence, of whom seventy died. Every person pos-
sessed of means to quit the city is represented as
flying-from it, some conveying' contagion with them
into the country. The population of Toulon exceeds
35,000, of whom there are not 10,000 now remaining
in the city. The condition of the poor is the most
wretched that can be imagined, for famine and the
pestilence enter their hovels together.

Letters and papers from Lisbon to the 28th ult.,
have been received this morning. No new change of
Ministry had taken place up to the date of these arri-
vals. The QUEEN was in good health, and as strongly
resolved as ever to honour the Duke of NEmourts
with her hand. The only obstacle to this match is
England, which is likely to put a veto on a proceeding
which would place the House of ORLEANS at the head
of all affairs in the Western Continent of Europe. In
Lisbon the people were peaceable, but by no means
content with the state of public affairs.

Brussels and German Papers have been received,
bringing intelligence from Berlin to the Bth, from
Hanover to the 9th, and from Hamburg to the 11th
inst. ; together with advices from Athens and the
Turkish frontier. The King of PRUSSIA has had
medals struck in gold in honour of his friend the late
Emperor of AUSTRIA, which are intended for pre-
sents to diplomatists known to be favourable to the
policy of the deceased Monarch. Copies in bronze
are likewise to be taken, which are to be distributed
among the soldiery.

The advices received from Athens state that the
Greeks are by no means satisfied with King OTHO
for not embracing the religion of the State. Like the
Irish Apostolical Itinerants at Exeter Hall, the Greek
Patriarchs are alarmed lest such toleration should lead
to the downfal of the National Church. The KING has
solemnly stipulated that his offspring shall be brought up
in the Greek faith ; but the priests declare that unless he
renounce his own heretical opinions, there will be no
security for the ecclesiastical revenues, a part of which
has already been devoted to the establishment of
Courts of Justice, popular instruction, and other ob-
jects of a similar nature. The Greek patriarchs and
the Irish Mountebank Parsons are engaged in precisely
the same warfare against their respective Governments.
The Hamburgh Papers state that Duke MAXIMI-
LIAN of Leuchtenburg is at present visiting at Co-
penhagan.
