cirri) is fast approaching, and that in another Ses-.
lion of Parliment, their claims may he conceded.
Now what has been the effect Of this heliet ? Not
harmonite, but to divide ; not conciliate, hut
ratherto exasperate. In provrt ion 'as a Proles.*
tant Government have. retreated, the Ca folic po-
pulation has advanced ; the spirit of colceszion,
on,the one side,, has been met by the spit it of hos-
tility on the other .; and the torte of temperate I'c-
-6600, has risen into tire 'language of -iinperion
demand„ ,
" Another. favourite argument of the mod'crate
Puancipationists is,' that the•Chnrch of Rome has
note So far abandooed all her bigoted and -perse,
enting thigmas, As to easily unite, with her rival
Chorei, in the joint pOssessien of political rower.
if other= woofs were wanting of, the hripeless fal-
lacy of such an argument, the volume before us
worild work conviction in the mind of every can-
did and unprejudiced man. It is an edition of the
Holy Scriptures; those Scriptures, which even the
Church of Rome acknowledges to be the word of •
life ; those Scriptures, which when interpreted
accotding to her own tradition, she holds forth to
her children as the rule of faith and the rule of
action. Such then is, the volume betor.e us ; it
unites, at once, •Scriptures and tradition,;
flue in the text; tradition in the notes., It has
the sanction and a::probirtion of Dr. Troy, the.
Archbishop Of Doblin,. and all the other Roman
Catholic Bishops; it is ushered into the world
under their names, and by their authOrity, as at
preceptor and guide to the-Catholic pro:Within of
Ireland. The Romish Church are not crow to be
accused of shutting up to.her children the word of
life ; here it is, expanded before them, freely cir-
culated, and freely to be believed.
Of the tee"vve shall at 'pres'ent say notitinz,
of 'he notes we shall only observe, 411 tit tt ith every'
good Catholic they are of the same authority NA
vtle

hble Ch,och. But even if they were not tei lie
considered as of the same onerring.originil; they
would still have a ruoral aothosiry, almost ti:C
same, since to all the lower classes, and to many
of the higher, who are incapable of judgng for
themsekes, Se:goitre iS, :is it as interpreted.
" Inc the (rifnote.4ons-, fifior atttkoriaed, we
some doctrines inculcated .upon the Catholic po-
pol,,tiou of Ireland, which will make cm) art
Emancipationist to tremble. Thu). are tight
believe tbat " Protestants are heretics and 'schis-
matics (I )." " Ihe .b me and disease of their
rinse (2)." That " all the definil ions and tharlas
of a heretic fall upon thein(3)." That " the
Chorch of God calling the 'Protestants' doctrine
heresy, in the worst part that can be, and in the
worst sort that ever w as, doll; rightly anti most
justly (4)." That " the .Clot cit service of Eng-
beiug in heresy and schisto, i,'therefme,
not only unprofitable, but damnable (5)." Thal,
as the Jewish Temple was made a den of thieves.,
the Church, or the " house appointed for the
holy sacrifice and sacrament, is now much more
m.rde a den of thieves, as it is made a den for the
ministers of calvin's breed." And that, it onr
divine Redeemer " could not abile to see the
Temple of God prol used by tire secular business
of money-changers, he can much less abide Coe
profaning of the Church, now, with heretical
service, and preaching of heresy and blasille-
my (6)." That." the prayer of a Protestant can-
not be• heard by Heaven (7)."
Such is the spirit of', conciliation towards their.
Protestant fellow-subjects, which is iufused into
the minds of the ltish Catholics, on the eve Of
an expected Ematicipatioo. The achocates of the
measure, however, may perhaps consider such
expressions as these to be the language only 9f
polemical tkeol,,gy ; be this as it may, the eve
Of universal harmony and conciliation is rather
a strange time for such sort of polemics. But
se have, as yet, selected only the miller speci-
»e»s of Catholic affection to their Protestant
Urethreo. The popcd of Ireland are iu-

SOLESI QUIS DICEHE F %LW:4. AU DEAT

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1817.

We received this 'morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. They state that neither in the Jour-
pals of Marseilles, nor in the Letters from thence,
received at Paris, was there any mention made of
the reported Revolution at Algiers. The follow-
ing are extracts :

" I'Aazs, OCT. 14.—The King received yester-
•day, after mass, several Lieutenant-Generals, and
lareehaux de Camp on hall-pay. The Duke de
Richelieu then transacted hitiness with his Ma-
jesty. In the evening the King received Ladies.
" The Count de Kotschoubey, Privy Coun-
cillor of the Emperor of-Russia who is at pre-
sent at Rome, has been presented to his Holiness,
who received him very graciously.

" The accounts from Rome of the 27th ult.
state, that a Courier Extraordinary had arrived
there from Paris, with 32 Proces-verbaux d'infur-
vations, respecting that number of French Bishops
who were to be promoted at the Cousistory of
the Ist instant.

" The Count de Rostopschin, after passing
some time in Germany, is returned to Paris.

" It is said that Lieutenant-General the Baron
-Ledrti Desessart succeeds Lieutenant-General Ca-

noel at Lyons.
" Madame de Rottener has not arrived at Paris,
Is reported, nor is she coming. We learn ft orn
the Journal de 'Colmar that this prophetess ar-
'rived on the 30th ult. at Biesheim, a Commune
in the Arrondissement of Colmar, on the bank of
-the Rhine. She came from Old Brisach, in the
Duchy of Baden. She was accompanied by her
daughter, two other women, the son of one
of them, and a young man, who acts as her
'Secretary, and followed by fifty-five paupers
of both sexes, and different ages, natives of
-Germany and Switzerland, who are proselytes to
-the new Missionary. Madame de Krudener and
the persons accompanying her were furnished
with Russian passports, purporting that, by
order of the Emperor, they might proceed where-
-ever they thought proper. These passports were
delivered the 16th (28th) June, 1815, at Spire,
ci-devant department of Mont Tounerre. The 55
paupers hada collective passport, without designa-
ting their names or descriptions, delivered the nay
of their journey by the Grand Bailiff of Old Bri-
sach, in the • form of an invitation to let them
pass with Maclaine de Krudener and her suite
through the department of Haut Rhin, in order
to proceed to Porentrny, in Switzerland. Ma-
dame de Krudener arrived at Colmar the 3d in-
stant, but her passports not being legally avail-
able, she was enjoined by the Prefect to quit
the French territory in twenty-four hours. The
prophetess repassed the Rhine on the 4th, and
returned to Old Brisath, in order to proceed by
another route to Porentruy, but by orders of the
Badese Ministry, which arrived by estatette at Old
Brisach, she is provisionally detained in that town,
under the surveillance of the Authorities, separated
from her suite, and even from her domestics, and
is not suffered to have any communication with
the inhabitants of the country.
" A Letter from Riiodez states, that Madame
Constant Rabot, who was called as a witness re-
specting the assassination of M. Fnaldes, now
says, that both Madamoiselle Rose rierret, and
iNiadatne Manson, were.at the house of Baileel
when the murder was committed. The for-
mer; on the arrival of the assassins, hid her-
self under a bed in the kitchen, and went
e-,Vay when they had left the house. Madame
Manson, in male attire, was, according to the
3ame statement, pushed into a eh:Set. After the
murder, Bastide proposed tO place the corpse in
the closet, and entering it he found Madame j

Manson, whom he at first supposed to be a man.
He dragged her into the kitchen, and was about
to stab her, when she declared who she was.—
Jausion, who had been sentinel at the door, re-
turning, took her under his protection. A slip
of paper was delivered to her with these words,
It you speak, you will perish either by the
sword or poison.' He then topk her by the arm
and led her away.

" VIENNA, OCT. 3.—According to . the last in-
telligence from Semlin, the Servian Commandant,
Biacbta, who caused to be beheaded Czerny
Georges, a General in the service of Russia,
is to be delivered over to that Lower by order of
the Sublime Porte, in compliance with the demand
which has been made. It is thought, however,
that the Commandant will find means to make his
escape into the interior of Turkey.
" Great preparations were making at Semlin
for the reception of the Emperot' and Empress of
Austria.

" HANOVER, SEPT. 30.—The Duke of Cam-
bridge will set out in a few days for East Fries-
land and Osnaburg, with M. de Bremer, Minister
of Justice, and the Supreme Councillor of Justice,
Roscher, to receive, in the name of the Prince
Regent, the oaths of fidelity and homage of those
Provinces.

" FRANKFORT, OCT. B.—The Emperor of Aus-
tria lately invited the Senate of this free city to
accede to the Treaty of Holy Alliance. The act
of accession has, in consequence, been this day
delivered to M. de Handel, Aulic-Councillor.
" FLORENCE, SEPT. Dd.—They write from Vi-
terbo, the 26th instant, that on the Monday pre-
ceding, which was the day of the Fair of St. Mat-
thew, there was a violent storm there : thelightning
struck in the fair, and killed an ox and a horse."

A Letter received from Baltimore this morning,
by way of Havre, dated Sept. 10, states, that the
crops of Cotton are very bad, owing to the
freshet, which had been so destructive to that
article in Georgia and South Carolina. The in-
jury done in all parts of the States where this
article grows is considered immense, and great
fears were entertained that there wonhl not he a
quarter of au average crop. The Wheat Harvest
was a most abundant one : Flour was at Sfi- dol-
lars per barrel. It is added; that there remained
but a few bales of this year's crop of Cotton on
hand, and for which 33 cents pci pound were rc-
fused by the holders, the Cotton Planters baying
become so rich that they will not sell but at their
own prices.

It has been said, and perhaps truly said, that
" nothing hut the Army of Occupation has, for
the last thirteen months, prexented a civil war in
France, as bloody as that of La Vendee." The
Chronicle, adverting to this assertion, says, " We
trust France is not always to be held under by an
Army of Occupation." No ; but as long as such'
au army is necessary for the security of other
States, and the general peace.,of Europe.—From
what we bear, and we do not speak upon light
authority, the Army of Occupation is likely to
remain ouit3 post for a considerable period be-
yond the 61114: generally understood to fix the ter-
mination of its service ; and, indeed, when we
see what men hare been exalted into power in
France, and consider the characters of those
worthless wretches, such as BENJAMIN CONSTANT,
LA FAYETTE, and others, who aspire after power,
and who became Traitors to- their lawful Mo-
narch when the Usurper returned, must it not be
supposed that the state of France renders it ne-
cessary for other Governments to guard against
danger, and what can so effectually guard them
as the army which restrains Innovators, Traitors,
and Rebels, from spreading mischief, disordering
the public mind in all countries, and tending to
the subversion of all legitimate'authority ?

The paragraph in our Paper of yesterday, re-
specting THE TEST intended to be imposed by
THE PAPISTS on the Candidates at the next General
Election, has drawn forth an elaborate comment
from The British Press of this day, ivhich we have
not room to answer At present, but shall resume
the subject. The British Press asks, '' What is
the expedient which the Editor Ot. THE SUN pro-
poses in opposition to the Test ?" Why simply
this—a Counter Test from all the Protestant Elec-
tors Of every sect and denomination, if THE
PAPISTS have the hardihood to propose, THEIR
TEST. The British Press says, our paragraph l.` ex-
presses the determination of the ANTI-CATHOLIC
part of the Cabinet, which, we regret to find, is
the influential part of that Council, upon the-
sub-
ject atilt ensuing General Election." We believe
that the people in general, who, we trust, are
staunch Protestants, differ from The British
Press, and not only rejoice to find that such is

the determination of the ANTI-CATHOLIC part of
the Cabinet, but feel much disappointed if they do
nut find the whole of the Cabinet determined to
respect THE FEELINGS of the House of BauNs-
WICK, in a firm resistance of all further Catholic
pretensions, and a resolute support of our happy
Establishment In CHURCH and State.

If it were possible to give credit to the insinua-
tions of The Morning Chronicle, Ministers have
directed The Courier to cast " unqualified censure"
on the conduct of, RusSia, respecting the fate of
CZERNY GEORGES,' for The Chrolliele says it sus-
pects, " from the manner in which The Courier
has thought proper to take up this subject, that
Government have their own suspicions with re-
spect to the intentions of Russia," People who
do not understand Newspaper Policy, may be
simple enough to believe, that there is some fowl-.
dation for this charge against Government,which,
in fact, has probably no other object than, for
reasons not difficult. to understand, to pug' 74,he

Courier, and to make the Public believe that it en-
joys so much of the confidence of Ministers, as
to be entrusted with their wishes to abuse a
Government with which this Country is upon the

most amicable footing. None but an idiot, one

would think, could believe that Ministers would
so far commit themselves, particularly too as the
present Conductors of The Courier, whatever may
be their abilities, are but new in their office,' so
that Ministers can know little, if any thing, of
them, and would hardly be rash enough to confide
such a.trencherous mission to strangers. Yet, as
Ministers can never condescend to contradict the
infamous insinuated charge against them of giving
directions tp Newspaper Writers: to abuse a
friendly Government, the charge may possibly
gain some Believers. We cautioned The Courier
against giving encouragement to the of en-
2»ity of The Chronicle, lest it might- be supposed
that there exists a secret connexion between two
Public Prints apparently " wide as the Poles
asunder" in their political principles and purposes.
The Courier must now see the propriety of our
caution, for if it remains silent on The Chronicle's
insinuated charge, it twill seem to give sanction
to a heavy accusation against the British Govern-
ment, and though our Rulers cannot themselves be
expected to stoop to a denialof having acted in such
a manner towards Russia, yet it the accusation
should reach the Russian Cabinet, it might have
an unfavourable operation, and tend to disturb
the harmony between the two Countries.
our part, we are persuaded, that if Ministers saw
any reason for alarm or jealousy, as to the move-
ments or designs of Russia, they would act upon
principles of a more dignified policy than to direct
a Newspaper to open the flood-gates of-ahnse
against the Government of that country. Such
is the effect of injudicious friendship. The
Morning Chronicle, in thus attempting to make
the world suppose that Government would
stoop so low as to dfrect The Courier to
defame an Allied Power, and thereby induce a
belief that The Courier is peculiarly intrusted with
Ministerial confidence, may rather excite a doubt
whether it possesses any confidence at all. But to
make the matter still more perplexing to The Courier,
a day or two ago it asserted, that notwithstantl-

For

ing the naval armament at Revel, and the report-
ed alarming dispatch from Lord CiSTEICART, we
are upon the best terms with Russia. Nothing
has occurred since to prove that the assertion is
it}-founded. The Courier either bad authority for
that statement, or it had not.. Now then, if it
had authority, is it to he supposed, that in a day
or two after Ministers would order it to abuse the
very Power which it had just before been directed
to affirm was in the most perfect harmony with
this country. If it had not authority, what must
be thought of the attempts of The Chronicle to
insinuate The Courier into such a reputation for
Ministerial confidence Again, if it had autho-
rity, what must be thought of a Ministry that
could thus blow hot oad cold, committing its. reputa-
tion, and hazarding the. peace of li.urope?. Thedig-

nificd characters who compose the present Admi-
nistration preclude the possibility of supposing
that the whole of this matter is the result of any
thing but IVewspaper artifice, at once insidious,
ridiculous, and contemptible,

PROVINCIAL JOURESALS.-it is highly gratifying

to us to find that our plan of transferring the
sentiments of the public Journals throughout the
country is universally approved. The Empire at
large is, by these weans, informed of the princi-
ples and feelings which prevail in all its various

dirtriets, and it thereby enabled to form a gene-
ral estimate of the opinions of the great body of
the People. The Journals themselves could only

Conductors now find, that, by means of THE
SUN, their sentimms and views are diffused all

over the Country. Ti►is plan must be particularli
gratifying► to Lrattlon Readers, who rarely had

an opportunity of seeing Provincial Journal, btlf
now are able, by perusing THR SUN, to know thc
political contents of all. We can assure oid.
Readers, that many Conductors of Country re
pens have been so struck with the utility of the
plan, that they have sent to us their Journak it
the hope of having their sentiments known to the
community at large. Another very important ad'
vantage results from this plan, for it will discoti'
rage factious Reformers from ,the hope of being
able to spread their baneful d'i;etrines, shake 'thf
foundation of our happy Establishment, and

turb the tranquillity of the Empire, ilut though
we certainly never shall take extracts frotli
seditious Journals, of which we rejoice to sal
that there are comparatively very few in the Em'
pire, yet we shall not hesitate to notice the
nions of those Provincial Papers which maintain $
spirit of manly independence, and are loyal to the
Constitution, but not slavishly devoted to Ministers,
Such, we presume to say, is the character of TH$
SUN, and such it shall remain, giving a firm sup'
port to Government, but not degrading itself
in the estimation of-our countrymen by mean sub'
mission and servile acquiescence.

We are extremely sorry to learn, that the Rev,
Dr. PERNEY, Domestic Chaptain to the Eati of
COVENTRY, was seized with a ,fit of apoplexy on
Sunday, the sth instant, while he was in church.
He now lies at Croome, his Lordship's seat, near
Worcester, in the most alarming state, receiving
all possible attentiou from the family of-the noble
and hospitable Earl, to whotn he has long bey
endeared by his talents, his virtues, his faithful
and unintermitted-atieution and attachment. -
On Sunday afternoon, the Earl of WulTwoaTlf
and. the Duchess of DoaseT arrived at Downshirc-'
House, Hillsborough, the seat of the Marquis of
bowNsuitte, on their way to Donaghadee, whert
they were most splendidly and hospitably enter-
tained ; and on Monday the truly amiable and
noble pair proceeded on their journey.—(Dublifs

We have received information from Plymouth,
which may be implici:ly relied on, that the mer-
cantile and trading interest of that port, after s
full investigation and tine consideration -of the
merits of the proposed Canal between Arundel
and Ports-mouth, - have been- so perfectly - con-
vinced of its great utility in a national point of
view, and of the facility which it will afford to
' their own intercourse with the metropolis, as
well as to the other western ports, that three
hundred shares were almost immediately snbscrib.
ed for and taken, and others wet e hourly applied
for. We heartily congratulate the subscribers OM
this very prosperous state of their affairs, for there
can he no. doubt that when fully explained and
duly understood, that an undertaking which af-
fords so many commercial facilities with the
metropolis will meet with liberal encouragement,
and, consequently, that the shares will in all prd-
liability soon bear a considerable. premium. We
also congratulate the public at large on the more
than probable expectation which ay now be rea-
sonably entertained of the speedy completion. of
this great national undertaking, and that we do
not over-rate its advantages will be allowed by all
who were acquainted with thealangers, the dill'
ctrlties, and the delays of a sea- -communication.
