Faom BUENOS AYRES.--Let‘tel3. Of a late date
from Buenos Ayres, received at Washington,
mention, that .Mr. Halsey, the United States'
Consul at that port, had suddenly taken his depar-
ture from thence for Chili, leaving his official
papers behind him, without being put into the
charge of any one. In consequence of which
the Supreme Director, from motives of friendship
to the interests of the United States, had ordered
them to be procured and lodged in safe keeping
under the superintendance of an Officer of the
Republic. • •

The day is now once more fixed (27th April)
for renewing the periodical attack upon OUR CON-
STITUTION and RIGHTS, in the tthin of a Petition
from the ROMAN CATHOLICS. We say upon our
RIGHTS, for the CONSTITUTION being by Law
PRoTESTANT, will) ti PROTESTANT SOVEREIGN IN-

DIEPENSABLY. at its head,'il we have any thing
which we can call a RIGHT, it must be the tight
to a POLITICAL ASCENDANCii., sufficient to protect
THE SOVEREIGN while he protects THE CONSTITU-
TION.

For a limited Sovereign, not supported,
cannot he a PRoTECTOR. lie is no DEFENDEE of
THE FAITH.. It is, therefore, urgent upon Pao.
TBSTANTs to take effectual measures before the day
arrives, that their strength may be exerted with
cfct. Let them not imagine that the present re
quest, or rather CLAIM for so it is urged), will be
ultimate. It is merely a step ; and as every for►uer
concession has been regularly followed by another
DEMAND' Su Will this, if obtained, lead to others
much more formidable. The Concessions have beta
many, and the Demands always Ilse() upon
them. Now what are the obvious steps beyond
the grant Of Political Power ? Evidently and un-
avoidably, COMPLETE ESTABLIstiMENT: where
the majority adheres to THE POPE. Are then
Protestants prepared to see all the'mumnieryof.
Popish ceremonies restored; thxiy.Orethren.turn7
ed out of Ireland, and the Popish Bishops esta=.
[dished in the Cathedra!s ? Those Cathedrall,-

Which, even now, they consider as their own;
and in which they never fail contriving to receive
their Consecration ?* Jesuits imported from the.
Continent, perhaps Inquisitors, Monks, and Friars,.
parading the streets in their. habits, and in pri-
vate seducing weak rands with the promise of
absolution and certain salvation. All this, and:
much more, is within the view of the most feeble
foresight, ►f once the PROTESTiNT ASCENDANCY
ii relinquished in any portion: •of the Empire.—

Hitherto a too presuming security has kept Pro.
testants front moving, till it.might have proved
too late to move, with effect:— Let us now be
better prepared, and by shewing at once our
feelings and our strength, completely prevent the
danger which approaches. As for the Protestants
in Ireland, or elsewhere, who have [teen seduced
to petition for the CATHOLIC CLAIMS, they.are
begging to be ruined: they are seeking the removal
of a bulwark; which is'their best; and alltlo~st their
only, security, ~They,are.desirotts to be liberal,
but let them•refeet that theyare exerting their
liberality towata'a Church whickcinnot, by itt
be:ll6eral, Liberaliiy,tO heretics
•
with that Church, be always heresy.•.

' This is a fact.
