FOR FilE SUN.

Mn. EntTon—Some months past, I sent you
Extracts from a Divine of Eminence in the Dis-
senting Communion, that bore with the most
powerful rcvelancy on some political discussions
of the very highest National interest, at that time
agitated, and which are again agitating, with the
usual violence and pertinacity of their Partisans
and Patrons, which we find are incessantly re-
nea ed with tmtired energy and artifice, after the
roost decided tepulses and defeats. I now send
you Foote from a Dignitary of the United Church
nt England and Ireland, that apply with equal
force to the circumstances of the times, and de-
mand the most marked attention in their perusal.
They are from the writings of Archbishop Bztowtr,
a native of the latter country, who presided over
the See of Dublin (1551), and forcibly pourtray
a Society, whose late revival and establishment
in this Island, are felt in the growing turbulence
and agitation of every corner of the British Em-
pire. His words are as follow :—" There is a
new fraternity lately sprung up, who call them-
selves Jesuits, that will deceive many, and ate
much after the Scribes and Pharisees manner
among the Jews; (i. e. factious and intolerant.)
They shall strive to abolish truth, and come near
to do it. For these sorts will turn themselves
into several forms ; with the Heathen, a Heathen;
with Atheists, an Atheist ; with the Jews, a Je‘, 5
with the Reformers, a Refot mer ; all purposely to
learn your intention, your minds, your hearts,
your inclinations, and thereby tiling you 141 lag to
be hike a Fool that said in his heart, there is no
Cod.' These shall spread over the whole worhi,
shall he admitted into the Councils of Princes,
and they never time wiser, c. nut aware) charm-
ing them, making your Princes reveal their hearts
and secrets to them, and yet they not perceive it ;
which will happen by falling from the Laws of
(;on c. substituting their own decretals) and
wiuking at their sins. Vet, in the end, God to
justify his Law, shall suddenly cut off this So-
citty, even by their bands who most assisted and
made use of them. So that in the end they shall
be (Arms to all nations, they shall be- worse than
time Jews, having no resting place on earth."---,-
The history of Europe, in every succeeding period,
gives ample confirmation to the veracity of this
solemn warning. Men of the first talents, and
most opposite political principles, (such as SWIFT
and BURNET, &c.) all agreed in asserting this tact,
that " The Atheism which delugeJ the world"—
originated and was disseminated by the Agents and
Emissaries of the Roman Conclave. And this fol-
lowed
by such civil distractions, and moral depra-
vity, -that at last, even the different Catholic
powers were obliged to suppress them at different
succeeding periods, the laKt by GANGANELLI, (who
it is well known was soon after made away by poi-
son) in 1773. Ever since this last measure, the most
desperate and incessant treasons, conspiracies, re-
bellions, wars and massacres, have desolated the
Christian world. Yet, this is die Society which
has lately been restored in full privilege and pri-
mitive authority, by the present Pontiff's solemn
slecree. And, as upwards of forty of their Semi-
naries are known to exist in Great Britain and
Ireland, besides two Universities in the latter,
Castle Brown and Maynooth, can we wonder that
conspiracy, assassination, blasphemy, with every
species of moral crime, now agitate and convulse
the British Empire, from one end to the other ?
It is notorious, that it is in those districts where
Catholics most abound, the most violent and
furious measures have been proposed and prose-
cuted, and disseminated,
.at least attempted to be
disseminated into adjoining Comities. We are
even informed in the Public Journals, that Foreign
Countries now stand on the tiptoe of expectation,
.of great events taking place here ; doubtless ad-
monished to do so by their traitorous Correspon•
dents at home ; and, as the Foreign Papers, ever
since the peace have resounded with itmectives
and Jeremiades at the extent and flourishing state
of our Manufactures, we can easily perceive why
the Counties where these are carried on, have
been made the particular focuses of iusurrection and
tumult. For it is palpable to the dullest under-
standing, if the Operatives can be brought to for-
sake their Looms, &c, for political confederacies
and visions of Reform, their destruction will be
more effectually secured than even by the prohi-
bitory edicts of every Nation on the Continent.
That this has been their constant practice, and
not merely at the present juncture, I appeal to an
authority to which every Member of the Church
of England must bow with the most implicit de-
ference of assent, to the Book of Homilies. In the
fifth part of that on Rebellion, we have the fol-
lowing unanswerable statements of veracity and
tact. " After that ambition and desire of domi-
nion once entered into Ecclesiastical Ministers,
whose greatness, according to the doctrine and ex-
ample of our Saviour, should chiefly stand in
humbling themselves, and the Bishop of Rome,
being by the order of God's word, no other than
the Bishop of that one See and Diocese, (and
never yet will be able to govern the same), did
with intolerable ambition, challenge, not only to
be Head of all the Church dispersed through-
out the World, hut also to be Lord of all the
Kingdoms of the IVorld ; as it expressly set
forth in the Book of his own Canon Laws.—
After this ambition entered, and this challenge
made by the Bishop of Rome, be became at once
the spoiler and destroyer both of the Church,
which is the kingdom of our Saviour Christ, of
the Christian empire, and all Christian kingdoms,
as universal tyrant over all. And whereas before
that challenge made, there was great amity and
love among Christians of all countries; hereupon
began emulation and much hatred between the
Bishop of Rome, with his Clergy and friends
on one part, and the Grecian Clergy and Chris-
tians of the East, on the other part ; because they
refused to acknowledge any such supreme autho-
rity of the Bishop of Rome over them. The lat-
ter, for this cause among others, not only naming
and taking them for schismatics, but also never
ceasing to persecute them and the empire, by stir-
ring up the subjects to rebellion against their Sc.-
lereign Lords, and by raising deadly hatred and
cruel wars between them awl other Chriatiuta

' Princes. And when the Bisheps of Rome had
translated the title of Emperor, arid as much as
in theist lay the empire itself, from their Lord the
Emperor of Greece, onto the Christian Princes of
the West, they in a short time became no better
to the Western Emperors than they were before to
the Emperors of Greece. For tire usual discharg-
ing of subjects from their ow hs of fidelity, made
unto the Western Emperors, the unoatural stirring
up of sohjects to rebellion against their Princes,
yea, of sou against. father, by the Bishop of
Rome; the most crud and bloody war raised
among Christian Princes of all kingdoms,—the
horrible worrier of infinite thousands of Christian
men slain by Chriviairs,—ancl which followed
thereto' the pitiful loss of so many goodly Cities,
commies, dominions, kingdoms, once possessed
by Chi istians in Asia, Africa, and Europe,—the
miserable tall of the Empire and Church of Greece,
fortnelly the most floorishing part of Christen-
dom, into the hands of the 'n,rks,—the lamenta-
ble diminution, decay, and ruin of Christian Re-
ligion,—the dreadful increase of Paganism, and
power of infidels and miscreanis,—and all by the
practice and procurement of the Bishop of Rome
chiefly,—is in the histories and chronicles, writ-
ten by his own favourers and friends, to be seen;
and is well known to all such as are acquainted
with these histories." It then remarks his tram--
nations of what is called " The State of the
Church," in Italy, Lombardy, Sicily, &c. &c. &c.
Bor to come nearer Our ()wit Ironic apd dines, it
adds, Is it not most evident, that the Bishop of
Rome has of late, by his Irish Patriarchs and
Bishops, sent from Rome with his Bulls, at-
tempted to break down the bars anti hedges of the
public peace in Ireland, only on confidence easily
to abuse the ignorance of wild Irishmen Or
who sees not, that on like confidence, yet more
lately he has also procured the breach of the pnb•
lie peace in England (with the long and blessed
contiouance of which he is sore grieved), by the
ministry of his disguised chlilains, creeping in
laymeirs' apparel into the houses, and whispering
in the cars of certain Northern Borders," &c &c.
In short, the whole seems rather to be a picture
of present than of former times, and a proof that,
in one sense, " setnper eade4ll" is the indefeasible
mark and tnotto of their detested association,
which they have dignified with the name of
Church. To be denied the Power to ;lerpetrate
these enormities by law, they exclaim against as
persecution. Bilt their complaints, in style and
manner, resemble not the 'bleatings of the lamb,
but the yells of the hyena, echoing through the
daikuivss of the midnight desart, the wailings of
an onsatiated, because insatiable, thirst of blood.
Vet some are found weak enough to propose the
concession of that power, in order, as they ex-
press it, to strengthen the Government ; as sa-
piently might they advise to inoculate the body
with the virus of the plague, to confirm its health.
It is plain, through the sciaole of the late contmo-
tiro's, that the ostensible agents at the different
stations were not the prinium mobile, the real
springs of action ; but that some behind the cur-
tain kept the puppets in motion. Here, then, is
a Power known to be in full vigour of existence,
which, if supplied with a place to stand on,
could, like AliCHlMEnes' 4ever, overturn the world,
as in former times it has done. In this view, the
whole of the Homilies (which of late hare been
too touch neglected) particularly those on Idola-
try and Rebellion, are wort by of the most serious
and repeated perusal ; as it will irresistibly lead to
and enforce this conclusion, that there will be no
peace nor safety for Europe, nor for mankind, till
the Roman Conclave, the Pope amid Cardinals,
with all their ramifications. of subordinate dele-
gated authority, are *oppressed atad extirpated.—
I am, respectfully,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 47.

IRRE(it7I,AILITY.

The LORD CHANcgt.Lott, in consequence of
some irregula►ity iu bringing the same subject
before the Court twice during the morning, ex-
pressed himself wi►h a degree of severity not
usual with his Lordship, but at the same time
called for by the circumstances which produced his
remarks.

His Lordship said, the Court was treated with
a degree of disrespect which he was determined
no longer to permit. A matter in which there
were three Counsel, for instance, was mentioned
to him by one of the Counsel, when the other
two were absent, and upon his hearing what was
stated to him, lie, taking for granted every thing
was right, disposed of the question ; perhaps in
an hour after, kiliother Counsel came in, and he
had to hear the whole business over again and dis-
pose of it a second time ; then, after an interval,
came forward the third Counsel, and he hml to re-
hear what he had twice decided upon. This was
a mode of proceeding which was not only
disrespectful to himself, but it rendered it im-
possible for him to conduct the businesi of the
Court. It was not so in (he Vice-Chancellor's
Coutt. The Vice-Chancellor acted in a manner
which entitled hint to his entire approbation : lie
adopted strict and rigid roles, which ()titbit'," could
induce him to depart from iii that Court. If the
parties, or their Counsel, were not all ready
when a nutter was opened, he either refused to
Ileac it at all ; or, if he did, he disposed of it
without suffering any explanation to be made by
the negligent party, and then only upon his pay-
ing the costs, and bringing the qiievion before
hint as a new proceeding. This was an example
he should follow. His Lordship said, he had lived
a great number of years in habits of regard and
good will towards the whole Bar, and sorry should
he be to feel himself compelled to adopt any re-
gulation which may seem to imply any censure upon
I lose for whom he entertained suth sincere re-
spect ; but unless they would come to sonic ar-
rangement which would preclude the recurrence of
the inconveniences he had referred to, he should
feel himself compelled, by a sense of his duty to
the public, to pronounce an order upon the sub-
ject, front the strict observance of which no con-
sideration on earth should induce him to depart.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Nov. 27.
THE KING V. ZOWD,ITCH AND bOTTON.
Mr. Sergeant PELL ittoved tv lavve the rule

which he obtained in this cause on a fortner day,
to show cause why a criminal information should
not be filed against the above-named defendants,
for circulating, in the town of Taunton, a libel-
lous hand-bill, respecting Miss Maria Glenn, who,
it will be recollected, was the prosecutrix in a
case of abduction, and which occupied a consider-
able portion of the public notice, made absolute.
The Court, upon a review of the affidavits, con-
sidered that the fact of Bowditch's not having
sent to obtain the paper back from the printer,
sufficiently justified them in sending the matter
down for trial.—The rule against both the defen-
dants was then made absolute.

OLDHAM INQUEST.
THE. KING V. TAYLOR.

This, it will be recollected, was a rule to spew
cause why a criminal information should not be
filed against this person, fur havin,, as was al-
kged, circulated certain papers amongst the Coro-
ner's Jury, summoned to inquire of the death of
man named Lees, who lost his life at the late
Manchester meeting.
Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS and Mr. DENMAN spewed
cause against the rule; and
Mr. SCARLETT, who rose to support the rule,
was stopped by the Court saying that this rule
must be made absolute. In doing so, they mere-
ly pronounced tl►at it was a fit case for the con-
sideration of a jury, and by no means formed any
conclusion upon the ulti►nate question of guilt or
innocence. Abstaining from any thing that could
be supposed to prejudice the defendant, they
would simply say that this rule must be made ab-
solute.
