OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Another ' final tertaination"—(we have had, two or t
three already)—has been put, it seems, to the Burmese
war. he preliminary treaty having, as all the World
knows, been broken by the . Burmese.. authorities, Sit. 1
Archibald Campbell attacked their troops and defeated I

Annnerapuralt, and encountering, as it appears, some
sharp,- fighting—though he probably gave a good deal
better than he •got,----4he Golden-footed Monarch cOn-
sette4l to ratify the treaty which he had before rejected;
the, leading conditions of which were, it will be re-
membered, the cession of all his maritime frontier,. the
payMent of a erore of rupees, and certain stipulations
respecting a fattire treaty of commerce. We are not
told that any tiew-derriands were ntih. upon this barba-
rian, whether in the shape of indemnity or security, on
the gronial of his having skulked form the ratification
of the former convention; anti this we conceive may
be justly felt a sacrifice of the unquestionable rights
of the conquerors, who were well entitled to a recom,
pence for their toils and expellees incurred ou Recount
of the concluding military movement, which was ren-
dered necessary by the non-fulfilment of the treaty of
Prome. Indeed, there are grounds for some uneasy
conjeetUres in all that has yet transpired of the circuin-
stances: consequent on the signature of this peace with
Burtnah. Only twenty-five lacks of rupees were paid down
out or a hundred—that is, front ‘450,0Q0/. to 300,00 N.
Sir Archibald Campbell, the victorious General, hurried
off, as fast as.steam could propel him, to Calcutta, instead
of sending thither'a confidential Officer • and his army, in-
stead of 'enjoying some repose within tie territory, which
they had overrun at least, if not completely conquered, re-
traced their steps, by rapid marches, to Rangoon, as

fighting humour, and would force them into another eom-
bat for the second instalment of rupees. How far the dig.:
nity and honour of Vin land mat have ,been risked by an
apparent slownewto engage this brutal enemy, when lie
first showed himself on the northern frontier, we do' not
mean to argue ; but sure we are that, whether necessary or
not, a war With such_ a power must be hopeless of any se-
rious benefit. The, old Bengal frontier was strung, and
easily defensible—to pass it was to abandon a 'definite and
compact. position, to seek our way to a conjectural frontier,
through un milialown territory, presenting many reputed
risks, and to place our line in contact, with new enemies,
ignorant of our resources, and preying upon them by war-
like experiMents, irregular and incalculable. We are at a

King: ctolden,foot of the Treaty' which he has ratified.—
Good faith, of course, is out of the question, and-the re-
treat of our forces disburdens him of all immediate fears.

We do not . clearly see the continued object of the
Catholic Nees' of Ireland, in mixing up, as they appear
to do: (")11 all • occasions, temporal. politics with their he-
bitual and professional polemics. It was ftir enough that
they should interpose at the late election, to promote the
cause of such candidates as would vote in favour of the
Catholic body. Protestant clergymen, had thrown down
the gauntlet, and canvassed (though not, we belieVe,gont
quite so fares to. preach) against the emancipation can-
didatest. On that head, therefore, the two churches:are
quits, touching the intention, if not so in respect of their
relative successes. But the passion for noise has grown by
indulgence, and not satisfiedwith having blown one' good
note upon the politital trumpet, they deafen the 'comm.'
nity with perpetual blasts of that cur-piercing instrument
whether in or out of season. Dr. Doyle, whose subtile
and suspicious evidence before the committee a year of
two sgek cannot yet have been entirely forgotten, comes
forth with a pamphlet, which he entitles " u pastoral
rer:tts. the clergy crud people of his diocese," of which pro-
duction the end seems no other than to make the Menke-
don Certain lessons respecting the ditteiptine and-merits
u 1 the Catholic Church, a vehicle for en extreme degree
of rancour` against Protestants of all descriptions. It was
necessary to any, honest purpose, at least to any pesee-
fill one; entertained by a Roman Catholic Bishop, to rip
up .the , old sores of Primate BoUlter and the charter
schoele, the Primate's memory being very justly appre-
ciated by all .thinking Protestants of the present day, and
the charter schools condemned .by them as a hopeless, use-
less, and absurd excrescence upon the establishments of
the country. An eflect, however, was to be produced
upon:the feelings of the multitude, anti Booker being first
held up as a tit standard of all that was execrable in
Church or State, 'is there described 44 only the model
after svhich large daises of Protestants—lay and clerical--
now active members of Irish Society, have bean industri,
duly fashioned. Mr. O'Connell might, pursue. suet,
courses, without lOss of character, or any taint of inc
sisteney; but unless the priests be desirous of inflaming
that wild host of passions through which States are con-
vulsed and crimes accumulated, we submit that they had
betteract like priests, and leave the part of incendiaries to
others.—Nd. •
The barbarous execution of Ripole,tbe schoolmaster of
Valencia,. for, 4014044 heresy, and nut attenditig mass,
affords a new 'arid lamentable proof of the malignant influ-
ence which. superstition still maintains in Spain. If such
acts can lie ermonitted iu aireuineteenth century, and un-
der a Government calling itself" apostolicel," what would
have been the condition of Europe at present, if the Re-
formation laid not broken doWn the despotism of Rome,
and connected religion with the progrees of civilized senti-
ments ? We cannot ealeulate upon the state of debased
subjection iii which the bottom mind would now find itself
under the trrrorss of a domineerieg priesthood. Had
Ripole fallen by the violence Of a solitary fanatic, we
