-FOR THE SUN.

Mn. EDITOR—MuCh of ivhat I hAVO said upon
ARISTIDRS, applies to my other antagonist, PER-
TINAX ; and I catmot be required to answer
twice-told errors. My language, however, must
not be misrepresented. I have not " touched
the 111 k ;" I have only censured its irreverent!
" T,uchers."l I have not " ridiculed the word
Bethel;'' I have only tilde:avowed to save it from
the " ridicule" %vhich unqualified ignorance casts
'you it. The biblical knowledge which PRRTI-
NAx so earnestly praises, seems to me rather of
words I hail of things, of sound than of substance.
It is an aff,etation, which in spiritual mailers
looks too like Hypocrisy ; and which, again I
s.y, reminds me of the canting Cromwellians—

Covenienters Cameronians —or whatever else
PERTINAX •chnses they should be called; to be
thus sedulously attached to the original Hebrew
terms, instead of that fair English translation
which English folks understand. If Sailors can-
not say their prayers in a Church, but must per-
force have a ship to say them in, even while in
harbour ; and if that ship must be dressed up
into a chapel ; and if they cannot pray but by a
signal; let them have their floating tabernacles,
and their signal ! But, why their signal must be
in Hebrew, instead of plain English or, how
" BETHEL" is more stimulatory or religious feel-
ings than " GuD'S HOUSE," Is beyond my ver-

secular comprehension.
As to nay " garblio4" of Brother INNITS'S fa-
miliar phrosenlogy,-1 took it as it stood, wish
all i's indecency nod not rt whit more. IVnat
preceded, or what followed it, I know not ; as I
am luckily nut of the way of hearing stirred
thirt;4n so prophattetv dealt withal but sure I
am, that mit her the Bible nor the Coalition
Prayfq Book could be gin bled into any such
sea odni..

I?-M9 PERT! NA X tell me that he is " a Church-
man lalllCHt the courtesy which obliges me
to helieve•liiin : since it obliges me also to prove
my credritce by .secouniing him a time•server
-and a hypOctite.—l lament, that he should reckon
it prudent or profitable to continue in a Church,
whose teachets he thinks not only unqualified for,
but prohibived from, religious instruction :—a
Church, which sends out the embassadors of
Heaven, without capability, without authority,
nay, without permission, to fulfil their embassy :
a Church, Wilich leaves " souls to ..perish in the
deluge of Fiquity," without a water-chapel to
riout" thet” out of ii.-"UOlding• such opinions,
PBRTIN A X roust bear to be told, not only that he
does not want the Established Church, but that
the Established Church does not want him.

For a Churchman, PERTINAX is WOnderoudy
acquaint'ed with the motive, nod views of the Sec-
tarian . I wiNh he were as acquainted wi:h
the motives and views .1- the Church. Ile would
then see, that she has provided means of instroc-
(ion, open to all, and sufficient fur but from
which the Sectarians are diligent to meet and in-
teicept every one, whose ignorance, or levity, or
weakness, or can he bawled, or twang-
ed, or whined, or witnaved away, front the path
of pure and sober religion.
True—l sin a Churchman. Yet, if I thought
one hundredth part as evilly of the Church as
does my fellow-Churchman, PEaTINAX, I would
not so much as tune a Psalm under a regular Cler-
gyman, but Redid it away under Brother RIN-
CLETUS or Brother INN YS seven evenings in the
week. True, also, I am " out of my element
when I get afloat." Accustomed as lam to that
regular service, unto which my parents and pre-
ceptors led me in my first infancy, I feel auk-
ward enough when I find myselt in these Arks
and Deluges of Dissenterism.
" Regular Service I." Aye, here lire the griev-
ance !—Hinc tiler lachrynkr. ! A Sectarian cannot
abide regularity. Nothing can stimulate his re-
ligious palate, which is not highly seasoned.
Tranquil and even devotion, that spirit of piety
which resides rather in pure thoughts and good
deeds, than in extemporaneous aspirations, are
not piquant enough for his diet. The " Church-
" man" PEETINAX, will of course join me in say-
in;:,—that the want of these sectarian seasonings,
is as sure a proof of the decay of reasonable re-
ligion, as is the use of Cayenne in other exhaust-
ed tastes, of tire decay of natural appetite.

In these observations, I do '' stick" to the Ra-
dicals. If I have said that Presbyterianism is' al-
lied to Popry, sine I am that Sisttr Peg is sworn
Cousin to D,..moeracy also. She hates all ride,
all government, all subordination. The Church
and the King are so inseparably connected,
not only iu wir State, but in our Religion, that
whose swerves from the one can 1101(1 no good
allegiance to the other.

We received last night and this morning the
Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last. Some
paragraphs from the former will be found in
another column. The following are extracts from
the .Journals of Monday :
" Pants, Nov. 29.—Yesterday being the eve
of the opening of the Chambers, a solemn mass
was celebrated at Notre Dime, which was at-
tended by the King, the ninces of the Royal
Family, Peers, Deputies, &c. The Cardinal
Archbishop of Paris, received his Aiajesty at the
dour of the Cathedral under a canopy.
The Duke de Reggio arrived at Paris on Sa.

turday evening.
" A lithographic caricature, entitled Le Masse
de 1793, has been seized by order of the Procureur
du Roi.

" General Valence has bad a private audience
of the King.
" The King yesterday, after his. return from
Notre Dante, transacted business with the Count
Decazes.

" Before the ceremony commenced at Notre
Dame yesterday, there were several murmurs, sup-
posed to be directed against a certain Deputy,
but ,who was not discovered.
" M. Gregoire has transmitted to the Questure
of the Chamber of Deputies his act of birth, ac-
cording to the established form.
" AUGSBURG, Nov. 21.--The Duke and
Duchess of Bedford have arrived at Munich, from
Vienna.

" IRUN, Nov. 1.3.—N0w that the yellow fever
has diminished its ravages in Andalusia, the Expe-
ditionary Army is about to be re-organized, and it
is hoped, it will he possible for the Expedition to
sail tor its destination the commencement of next
year, but it is at present nothing but a hope. The
inlet ior of Spain is in general calm and peaceable."

The following article is from the American Pa-
pe, s which arrived yesterday
" PAciFtc OCEAN.—Such a development of
the intentions of our Government, in reference to
the Expedition to the Sources of the Missouri,
has been made by the manner in which they took
their risr, and have been thus far pursued, as to
justify the opinion that the great object to be ef-
fected is the establishment of a permanent and
safe communication between the head waters of
the navigable streams on the East side of the
rocky mountains, and those on the West side
which communicate with Columitia river."

The plain question between Government and
its Opponents is simply this : Shall tie hest poli-
tical system on Earth be exposed to more danger
of destruction than any other ? is there any other
Country where such Miscreants as the it.tdicals
would be suffered to assemble, in order to corrupt
the minds of the People in general, and for the
avowed purpose of proucing each a Reform as
mould tend to the total annihilation of our present
Establiiiment in Chnrch and State ? Yet, with
all the horrors of the French Revolution in vivid
recollection, the Enemies of Government, consist-
ing chiefly of a desperate rabble, have received the
sanction of sortie of the higher Characters in the
Country, though, if they were capable of the least
reflection, they would see that their own ruin
would he the consequence of the ultimate suc-
cess of the Rebels whom they have thus coun-
tenanced by appearing at their meetings. Such
conduct in men of rank and property betrays
the grossest weakliest and folly. Some of these
misguided men declare that they see no proofs
of guilt on the one hand, or danger on the
other, in those Documents which have been laid
before Parliament, and Which have satisfied the
Nation in general of the necessity of those mea-
sures that have dratvn such abuse and Ul2-
