GERMAN PAPERS,

AiiitAMi JAN. B.—We learn from Mostar and Pachalik,
bordering on Dalmatia, that H. Esseid Ahmed Effendi,
Grand Referendary of the Sultan, is now there for the pur-
pose of regulatinc, the affairs of Bosnia and the Herzegor-
Vind. nalil Pasha, the Vizier of Bosnia, with a retinue
suitable to his rank, had arrived there ; and also eighteen
Captains of the different districts of that province, for the
purpose of being made acquainted with the firman of the
Porte,- which is to introduce the new order of things.—
ljapevl, Jan: tai,
The following passage is in a private letter from Amster-
dam, dated Jan. 17 ;—" I have just seen a person who
has come from Rotterdam, where he read yesterday a letter
}'coin botidoni containing a paragraph, of which the follow-
ing is a faithful translation ;—' Above 100 ,000/. sterling
have been distributed aratkil the mass of the lower class of
electors i:2:lt4; and the greater part of this sum had
just arrived from Paris by iiiay of Calais. Above .500,000
francs were sent from Brussels by way of Ostend. The
matter was so notorious, that many electors, who were
dead drunk in the public-houses, paid their reckoning in
gold coin (twenty and forty-franc pieces.) Never Was r
much French money in the city as during our elections:
The Belgian Legation was all in a bustle during those
days. The Propagandists were extremely interested about
-the elections in London, which they thought would have a
decisive influence in the counties. It is affirmed here (at
London) that the retreat of Prince Talleyrand would not
have been irrevocable, if he would have consented to par-
ticipate in the shameful manoeuvres which he knew had
been resolved upon from the first formation of the Peel
Administration, &c. &c."—Journal do C'onwarce d'Anvers,

VIENNA, JAN. lb.—An English courier has arrived
here from London ; his despatches seem to have been of
importance, Pie On 'Change, where it is soon guessed
whether such an arrival is of much consequence, there was
immediately much bustle and eagerness to purchase. It
was said that the Duke of Wellington had given hopes and
the assurance that he would make no change in the foreign
policy of England, but on the contrary do all in his power
to settle by amicable arrangement the still pending ques-
tions that affect the general policy of Europe. Accord-
ingly there is nO reason to apprehend an interruption of
peace, which the French Journals feared on the return of
the Tories to power. As it is likewise said that the Con-
ferences in London will soon be resumed to decide the
affair of Luxembeio!, it is hoped that the Powers will soon
be able to proceed to the reduction of' the standing armies.
In fact, as matters now stand, the realisation of this hope
not conceivable, except with the existence vf a Tory Admi-
nistration in England. Nothing but its consolidation seems
capable of affording a guarantee fur the promotion of the
prosperity and tranquillity of nations, for the contest which
is carried on with so much bitterness in the Pyrenean Pe-
ninsula will not extend beyond the boundaries of Spain,
but end in the defeat of one of the parties, which in the end
cannot have such great influence on other countries as to
make them think it necessary to keep their armies on the
War Establishment. In general less attention begins to be
paid to Spain, and there is no idea that a revolution like
that in France will take place there. The Castilian
gravity is too grotesque in a revolutionary costume not to
appear ridiculous. Zumalacarregui, alone by his chivalrous
manners, and by his endeavours to pull off the mask from
the phantom of a Hispano-Moorish Liberalism, vindicates
the honour of his countrymen. No apprehensions of Ultra
revolutionary scenes in Spain are apprehended, and we wait
patiently to see how affairs there will end. Spain is uncon-
cerned in the dispute about principle ; only one principle is
possible in that country, viz., the principle of legitimacy.—

SIR R. PEEL AND THE DUBLIN

DISSENTERS.

The following is Sir Robert Peel's reply to the resolutions
passed by the Rev. Mr. M'Crea's congregation in Dublin :
" Drayton Manor, Jan. 14.
_ _

" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the Bth of January, transmitting to me a copy
of the resolutions entered into unanimously by the congre-
gation of which you are the Minister, disclaiming any parti-
cipation in the sentiments recently expressed at a meeting
of the Dissenting deputies in Birmingham, with regard to
the King's Government, and the light in which measures of
relief originating with that Government ought to be viewed
by the Dissenting body. lam gratified by the assurances
conveyed in your resolutions of your disposition to ascertain
the intentions of the King's Ministers, and to understand
their measures, before you condemn them ; and, above all,
by the just and liberal opinions you express with regard to
the Established Church, and its intimate connexion with the
true interests of civil and religious liberty in Ireland. lam
bound, at the same time, to state explicitly, that I wholly
differ from you as to the policy of curtailing the privileges
which the Act of 1829 conferred on our Roman Catholic
fellow-subjects, and that I consider it indispensable to main-
tain the great principle which has been practically incorpo-
rated into the constitution of the country—the equality of
civil privilege and civil capacity among Churchmen, Roman
Catholics, and Dissenters.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your obedient and faithful servant,
" ROBERT PEEL.

CHURCH AND STATE.

(From the Patriot.)

[We have received a copy of the following hand-bill, printed
at Poole, and sold at the rate of tracts by the 100. It may
not meet the views of our friends, but seems well adapted to
correct popular misapprehensions of the opinions and designs
of Dissenters.]
What do you mean by separation of Church and State ?
We will answer, in as few words as possible; we are much
misrepresented on this subject, therefore we shall be very
plain. First we shall tell you what we do not mean.
WE, do not mean to pull down the buildings called churches
and cathedrals ; we do not mean to take away the incomes of
the existing bishops and clergy ; we do not mean to take the
tithes and church property, or any part of it, into our own
hands, or apply it to Dissenting congregations or purposes;
we do not mean robbery, or sacrilege, or destructive measures;
we do not mean to urge any sudden or violent steps which may
lead to confusion, strife, and individual distress ; we do not
mean to injure any living being.
Now, we will tell you what we do mean—We soberly ask
for the deliberate and constitutional repeal of every law which
in any degree inflicts injury and injustice on our property, per-
sons, or character, because we are Dissenters ; we ask for the
repeal of every law that denies us any privilege or benefit, be-
cause we are not Churchmen ; we ask for the repeal of several
laws which compel us to be Churchmen against our own will,
by which we may be forced into the spiritual court, may be ex-
communicated, sent to prison, and deprived of our property,
unless we will do penance in a parish church ; we ask for the
repeal of any law which prevents us from getting possession
of our own property, unless we consent to apply for it in the
character of Churchmen ; we ask that the Universities may
be as open to young men who fear an oath, as they are to those
who will swear to anything, whether they understand it or
not ; we ask that the duty may be takon off the timber, glass,
and bricks, which are used in building a meeting-house, as it
is in building a church ; we ask that our ministers may be per-
mitted to preach in prisons, workhouses, and convict-ships :
we ask that we may bury our own dead; we ask to solemnize
our own marriages ; we ask that certificates of Dissenter's
baptism should be as good evidenee in a court of law as a
Churchman's : we ask to be freed from paying thousands of
pounds every year to renew trust deeds for keeping possession
of our own meeting-houses ; we ask that the Churchman
should no longer compel us to pay for the wine and bread with
which he celebrates the Lord's Supper, for the washing of the
Clergyman's Surplice, and the repairs of a Church in which
we never worship. Now, we appeal to you as an honest,
thoughtful, Christian man, is there anything unreasonable,
unscriptural, or unjust in what we ask ?
This, then, is what we mean by the separation of Church
and State ! !
