DOVER, SEPT. 22.—8 y dint of perseve-
rance, and by removing every thing which it was possible,
and by filling her with empty casks, the Columbine steam-
vessel was weighed on Friday, by two large vessels, and
laid upon the main to the westward of the harbour of
Boulogne, and at ebb tide, the water running from her,
skins were placed over the leaks, and she was subsequently,
at the rising of the tide, towed into the harbour there by
the Royal Sovereign steam-vessel, of this port, and when
she undergoes a little repair to make her water-tight, she
will be brought to this country. Considering the situa-
tion in which she was placed, it is almost a miracle that
she has been got off whale, and nothing but the favourable
state of the wind and weather could have saved her under
the comparative small extent of injury she has sustained.
DISTRESSING. ACClDENT.—Yesterday after-
noon, one 01 the long, heavy, West-country barges, heavily
laden with timber, was proceeding with the tide down the
river, and, when off Rotherhithe Chinch, she came against
a large brig, and was instantly capsized, and turned keel
upwards. Two men who were on deck saved themselves
by lumping overboard ; but a man and a boy, who were
in the cabin, were drowned.

DEATII IN A WATCH4IOUSE.—(From a
Correspondent.)—A most melancholy circumstance oc-
curred at the Surrey watch-house, Illackfriars- road. On
Friday morning, about two o'clock, the storekeeper be-
longing to the brewery of CAt.vERT & Co. was found by a
gentleman wallowing in the kennel, in the London-road,
in a dreadful state of intoxication, who put hint. in the
care of the watchman, and most humanely assisted in
taking the unfortunate to the watch-house. Ile was there,
sorts ceremouie, most inhumanly confined in a dark cell,
along with four or five persons, some of whom bearing not
the best of characters. In this place lie died ; and, as we
have been most solemnly assured, it was not till ten
o'clock in the morning he was found dead by the keepers
of the watch-house. The parties confined with the de-
certSed can or ought to he compelled to give some account.
of this circumstance.

LETTER OF THE DUKE OF NEW-
CASTLE TO LORD KENYON.

SEPTEMBEfI 18.

MY DEAR LORD,—That I did not answer
your first appeal has been a sufficient reproach to
me ; I should be ashamed of myself if I could
see your second, without making a public avowal
of my entire concurrence•in your sentiments, and
that I heartily back your spirited appeal to our
fellow Protestants of the British empire.

In your own emphatic words, I painfully con-
fess that we do -" live in times when every man
who values principles should depend on his own
exertions, and not on those of princes, prelates,
nobles, politicians, or parliament." It is but too
true than such reality, the'case ;. or, hi other
words, that if we wish to preserve our religion
and our laws, each must use his igdividual power
to. defend preventively or absolutely the constitu-
tion which he has sworn to observe inviolable in
church and state. It may sound- finely in a re..
publican ear, to be told that all 'are bonraliO
participate
.in the managemektof the7natiOnai
wrests, and that the will eltitorpeopifti.stiotild-
direct the affairs of the country. I cannot sub-
scribe to such dangerous doctrine as a maxim ; I
see the mischief of a popular assumption of the
executive, and I would, if I could, avoid it ; but,
unfortunately,' we have no choice mow ;. we are
driven into a corner, and we must either make a
desperate effort to preserve our constitution, or
lose it altogether. Deserted or unsupported by
those in power, we see ourselves on the brink of
ruin ; and is it to Be imagined that we can or will
ignominiously abandon our sacred duty, and
basely yield either to our betrayers or our enemies?
An appeal to tire nation is Our 'only resource;
it must be made ; and the voice of the nation
must decide whether Protestantism or Popery
shall prevail. In short, the nation must decide
whether these kingdoms shall be at once the cradle
and the citadel of Protestantism and real liberty,
or the hot-bed of Popery, with its scarlet train of
mental and political despotism.
Nothing is to be expected from Parliament,
because nothing is to be done by the Govern-
ment ; nothing is to be done by the Govern-
ment, because neutrality, conciliation, and mo-
dern liberality are still ruling the deliberations of
the Cabinet. Thus the honesty and virtuous
feeling for which this country has long been re-
nowned are decreed to be neutralised and dead-
erred ; religion and morality, principle, patriotism,
and the boasted constitution, are doomed to perish
from sheer inanition.
'But will our fellow. Protestants commit this
suicide ? Why is the nation listless, apathetic,
and dead, to every patriotic impulse ? Why are
virtue and vice, right and wrong, amalgamated
as it were, and so blended together, that the one
and the other possess an equal value ? or rather
I should correct myself and say, why are the bad
qualities predominant ? Why are the highest and
noblest attributes of human nature outraged by a
prescribed submission to bad measures, vicious
systems, and detestable principles.? The cause, I
fear, may be thns.explamed. For years past the
government of the country have thought fit
blindly to adopt, and obstinately to persevere in,
a system of neutrality which has gradually pro-
duced the most deadly evil that can befit a
nationa loss of principle. It is in vain to say
this or that cause has produced this or that bad
effect ; that the march of intellect, the spread of
knowledge, or philosophy, or liberality, or any
of those jargonic explicatives the very sound of
which makes the heart sick, have brought the
nation into its present state is not so : we
must.put the saddle on the right horse, and I
assert openly that Government has done the
work. There may, indeed, have been a predis-
' position to these delusive theories on the part
of some restless speculators ; but to the Govern-
ment belongs the blame, and the Government
must bear it.

In 1807 the voice of the nation rejected an
administration, strong in talent, but weak in the
possession of the public confidence. An over-
whelming feeling confirmed the power of its
successor, which was proudly and triumphantly
favoured by popular support, because it was
supposed to be purely Protestant, to be pledged
to oppose Popery, and to support the national
interests. Nobly and most beneficially did this
administration execute its duty, opposing Popery,
upholding Protestantism, supporting the national
interests, cherishing the established religion, en-
couraging national morality as well by its example
as by its care, boldly defending the constitution
and preserving it uninjured in church or state
from the united attacks of dangerous and despe-
rate men, and, above all things, keeping this
leading object in view—that it is the duty of a
government to act towards the nation as a good
father of a family would act towards his family,
namely, by the establishment of public virtue
founded upon public principle. The admirable
Perceval knew well by experience, and thus fore-
saw, that, because it is worthless, nothing can be
lasting that is not founded on principled virtue,
that no nation can endure and prosper without
it, that other nations had suffered the severest
retributive justice for their national crimes, and
that we evidently owed our comparative exemp-
tion from the horrors which the Divine venge%
ance poured on those devoted countries, to our
own comparative exemption from the vices and
corruption which prevailed in them. Taking
for his motto that honesty is the best policy ;
the straightforward, intelligible, and defined po-
licy of the minister gained the • applause even of
his opponents, whilst his friends, sure of his
support and encouragement in their endeavours
to promote his generous measures for the public
welfare, acted with spirit, union, and confidence.
Thus we continued blessed with an adminis-
tration which acted upon known principles, until

d
Could ally one mistake what would be the
.oaulsrov-
sure consequence of such a vile system? As-
suredly, as it has happened, it would follow,. that
the country would gradually be demoralised.. What
before seemed odious, or immoral, no longer

disgusted ; all ancient institutions' began t(1, Le
considered as rubbish ; history:ate an old alma-
.nack ; experience • was- to: be• cast away ; all that
is valuable to us was to- be-viliAed, derided, and
trampled upon ; and finally, libeiality enthrOned
itself in the .chief seat to influence and directed
the cauncils oithe nation. The country naw
found itself with Out• guides, although it had a
Government ; the -high offices were filled, it is
true, but not by governors. The executive was
in other hands :—instead of resisting innovation,
they yielded to it,—instead of leading public
opinion, they bowed to its counterfeit ; and thus
quackery, deceit, and hollow .pretension, gained
so -Much
to hide their diminished heads. Then followed
strength that their opposites were obliged

depraved, the disaffected, and the self-opinionated,

been deemed most sacred or most valuable, to
perish, for want of encouragement and protection.
I shall omit all farther comment, and proceed -
at once to the-change of Ministry in January
last. Every heart beat with high expeetation—:
every patriot-rejoiced-in the anticipated appoint-
inent of the -Duke of Wellington to to head .0r
affairs... The lover of his country fondly hoped
that the time-had at last arrived when an. end

would beput to the-hateful- - systenvetibert lism;
neutrality, and conciliation ; he made sure that
the high • character which had formerly
guishethhe nation would be recovered, and the t
in the place of -national, demoralization, a new:
system would be established calculated to restore
the national energy, by, an undeviating rectitude
of principle, the 'character of which would be
stamped by the uncompromising -character of the
Government. -We all know how the result ful-
filled our anxious expectations.
The last session of Parliament I consider to•
have been by far the most disastrous of any-in
the memory of man ; it was pre-eminently stain-'
ed by liberalizing religion,—and this, I believe,
from my conscience to be a fatal stab to the esta-
blished church, as well as to the peace ot• the
country and the existence of the constitution. -

By an utter dereliction of principle we have
sought. to appease those who are actuated by no
principle but a hatred of order : we thus depress •
and disgust our most-valuable friends, we inve-t
our enemies with the power taken from our
friends, and, to fill up the meainre of our mis-
doing, we offend our God in the disowning of
Christianity.
I simply ask, if we desert our God, will he
not desert us? will he not be avenged upon such
a nation as this ?

after day, audaciously asserts its omnipotence, '
and proclaims aloud that it will yield to no
other authority. One of their members, a fel-
low who years since deserved to be hanged for
his treason, has, through this means, been
chosen to sit in a British Protestant Parliament,
although a Papist ; itinerant popish demagogues
are roaming through the country spouting sedi-
tion and treason : and who offers the slightest
opposition to all this? No one.
What, I ask, is to prevent traitors from rising
in-every market-place of every town of Great
Britain, to vomit forth their pestilent harangues.?
ot are r:oeh wretehec only to he atiorrad this ex
elusive privilege in Ireland ? Shame, shame on
the Government which can for an hour, for a
minute, permit such dangerous excesses to be
practised with blind impunity. lam unwilling
to inculpate our chief Minister, because I had
rested my last principal hope on him ; my ex-
pectation was, that Nelson's memorable recom-
mendation would not be lost upon him, and
that England would see him at all risks, and
under all circumstances, do his duty. Let us
hope that a mistaken view has alone led him
into so vast an error. But when this error is
exposed, it will be unpardonable, it will he cri-
minal, if the remedy be not instantly applied.
In the midst of this tremendous storm and
(anger of shipwreck, we are told not to fear—
that we have men for our ministers who will
guard us from all danger. I may be called a
very timid mariner, but I cannot prevent myself
from crying out ; I loudly assert that the ship is
in the utmost -danger, and as yet the helmsman
has done nothing visibly to preserve it ; the
murmurs of a portion of •the crew have burst
into open mutiny ; and nothing but the prompt
energy of the Captain, or the united efforts of
the remainder of the crew, can save it from de-
struction.

Figure apart, imminent danger is at the door
of the constitution ; something must instantly be
done, or it may be destroyed. We must no
longer wait in expectation of tardy assistance ; we
must act for ourselves ; and if the ministers will
co-operate with us, so much the better; hut we
must not, we will not, be sacrificed.
