FRbi,ICH CONCORDAT.

FURTHER DOCITNIEN'N, RELATIVE TO THE CON-
CORDAT, BETWEEN THE POPE AND THE KING
OF FRANCE.
1. '['he Letters of Ratification are of the follow-
ing tenor :
‘' When first, by a singular favour of Almighty
God,we were res:ored to our seat, whence a power-
ful tempoit had borne us into the depths of the
sea of misfortune, we turned our wind to that
complicit:ion of evils with which the Holy Bride
of Christ was miserably afflicted, and felt the joy
inspired by our return disturbed by the melan-
choly consideration of them ; but being placed in
that situation w;.tere it was not sufficient to de-
plorei but necessary by every possible effort to
remedy, these things, we eatnestly exercised our
care in order to ward off 30 great desolation froru
the Lord's flock ; and, as our duty requires, to
endeavour, after such a revolution of affiirs, to
strengthen the temple and console the remnant
of Israel.
" But though with great anxiety of mind we la-
boored from this watch-tower of the High Apos-
tulat e, to effect this wherever we could through-
out the Catholic Church—yet we thought our
cares and attention particularly due to the king-
dons of France, that the Apostolic solicitude
Might be most abundantly employed in the repa-
ration of evils where those evils had been , most
45:gravated by the aspetity of the times. For not
only the numerous calamities with which the
French churches had struggled, but also a grate-
ful gond-will towards the whole nation, which had
deserved so well of us, demanded this from us by
a claim of peculiar justice. With a pleasing re-
collection we recalled with what distinction, what
numerous attendance, and what devotion of mind,
although at a most unfavourable period, we were
received there, so that by the divine counsel of
Almighty God the honour due to Peter was not
• prevented nor obscured by the unworthiness of
his successor, nor by the agitations of danger.
" lint in completing this great work, the religion
and piety of our dearly beloved son in Christ,
Louis the King of France assisted us. For
when we opened to him our designs for the heal-
ing, by an effectual remedy, of the wounds in-
flicted on the Catholic Church in that kingdom,
he declared, that it was one of his warmest wishes,
" That" (as Leo the' Great congratulated Pul-
eheria Augusta) " under (lie favourable disposal
of Divine protection, which never deserts its
Church, the spirit of God would animate hi; 'own
mercy and the desire of our heart, that in the
same work, and with the same mind, we might
both agree in the remedies to be obtained "
" But we had scarcely applied ourselves to this
most important business, r.lten again sounded
" the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of
the snorting horses, and of the glittering sword,"
and therefore we were again forced to I etire flow
tie citadel Of the Pontificate with our venerable ,

4roll,et's, the Cardin .lls of the Holy Roman Church,
that might remuve ourselves from the impend-
ing dangers and impediments to on:. administra-
tion of the Church ; and we ;mewed that all dtnr
beit counsels were rendered vain in the very be-
ginning, by the new tumult of war which involved
iri danger all the affairs of France and Italy. But
God making peace on high, immediately that day
so much desired dawned forth, in which, with the
aid of the Most Clnistian K ng, we were able to
consult seasonably the good of the Church in the
vast regions of France. Our dearly beloved Son
in Christ, Louis the King, well knowing that the
timings of God should be taken care of by bin)
with distinguished and peculiar care, addressed us
in letters full of duty, devotion, and piety, desir-
ing that we would hasten to settle the affairs of
the Church in his dominions by an Apostolic dis-
pensati:m.

`• We have therefore willingly consented to the
wishes of the Most Pious King, %Odell were also
our own daily and most earnest wishes, and have
taken care that all those things which tended to
the end in view•, should he fort htei!h brought wi-
der deliberation and maturely weighed in a Con-
gregation of our venerable brothers the CArdinals
of the Holy Romao Church. Such, however, Was
the extent and importance of the matters to be ar-
ranged, that, not without long awl laborious con-
sultation, we have at length, with the assistance
of Him who is the Father of Light, happily com-
pleted the affair by a Convention, which we doubt
not will prove of great benefit to souls, and a sea-
sonable remedy for so many evils."
llere follows the Convention, word for word,
as inscrred in our Paper of yesterday; after• which
there ate the formal clauses of ratification, of ad-
monition to the Archbishops and Bishops to main-
tain the Convention, of protest against Nullity, of
credit to be given to Notarial Copies of :he Act,
and of general prohibition against infringement.
This Le•ter is dated at Rome on the 14th of
the Calends of August, in the year of our Lord's
locomotion 1817, and the 1 tith of the present
Potoiticate.

2. The Bull of the new Circumscription of the
Dioceses of the Gallivan Church is principally filled
with the details of that circumscription. 'The fol-
lowing passage however is important :
" As, however, the churches of France were
deprived of their patrimony in the past Revolution,
and those things which from a desire of peace we
decreed concerning the alienations of ecclesiastical
possessions in Article XIII. of the Convention of
the year 1801 have been carried into effect and
ought to remain in full force."

Hence is inferred the necessity of a new endow.
tnent in lands, and Dividends of the National
funds, Its stipulated in the Bth Article of the Con-
cordat.

This Bull is dated on the 6th of the Calends of
August 1817.

New York Papers to the 27th July arrived this

CHARLESTON, JULY 16 —Extract of a Letter
from an Officer in the Patriotic Army to his Friend
in this place, d ited Amelia Island, July 9 :
" We arrived here on the memorable 29th June,
and alter a march of 10 miles through the swamps,
breast-deep, we stormed the garrison with 70
prisoners. We are now in peaceable possession,
and the inhabitants are well pleased. In a few
days we move forward to storm St. Augustine,
where there are 500 men in a strong garrison, and
are determined to drive them out of it. Our 22 gun
frigate, with 250 men, from New York, is off the
Bar. We have taken two valuable schooners at

Fernandia."

CHARLESTON, JULY 16.—(From the South.)--:.
By the passengers in the sloop Hermit, arrived
yesterday from St. John's and St, Mary's, we gaits
intelligence that a small military port on the St.
John's River, called Fort Nicholni, was eva-
cuated on the 4th inst. by the Spaniards, who made
their escape in two gun-boats, after having burnt
the houses, spiked the guns, and destroyed a few
small arms and military stores, which they could
nut conveniently carry with them. The measure
was adopted through absolute dread of General
M`GREGoa's forces, whose name spreads terror
through the country. An advance party had beets
stationed at a position about $ or 10 miles from
Amelia, called the Naurowo, to countermand its
entrance. St. Augustine will next command the
attention of General M`GREGOR : it will be at-
tacked as soon as reinforcements arrive from the
North, which are hourly expected. The Go-
vernor, Mr. CoPPINGER, is represented to be a
spirited Officer, and will make a stout resistance
if his troops can be induced to it. A frigate of
twenty-eight guns, and upwards of three hundred
men, was hourly expected at Amelia from New
York, when our informant sailed. A Portuguese
schooner (formerly the Roger privateer of Nor-
folk), and a large schooner, were at Amelia at
the time of its capture : the former was con-
demned, and the latter,-having but a few packages
of goods and a number of passengers,
A pilot-boat schooner) formerly the Rebecca, of
this port) had received a commission and sailed
on her first cruize, being the only vessel of war
fitted out since the establishment of the•new Go-
