DREADFUL AFFRAY.

PLYMOUTH DOCK, Saturday, April 12 —Ott
Easter Monday, according to annual custom, the.
lower order of holiday folks numerously assembled
at Stoke fair, to enjoy the revels. In the even-
ing a dancing party of the town's people were
interrupted by some Marines, who wished to
introduce a fifer into the room ; a quarrel
ensued in consequence, and the soldiers were
turned out. Oo the following evening (Tuesday)
a large party of the latter, to the number of 80, oh-
mined leave, and armed with sticks, staffs, and
drawn bayonets, again proceeded to the fair, for the
purpose of having a row : accordingly, about eight
o'clock, they entered the dancing-room of the Pear
Tree public-house, which they immediately cleared
by bruising and knocking clown all who opposed
them : they then departed, until between nine and
ten o'clock, when they made a second and more
determined attack on the people who had re-as-
sembled, by entering the room with drawn bay-
onets, and sweepirig all before them. We are sorry
to state, that a young man, called Wm. Northey
(in the Breakwater employ), interposing, lost
his life, having bun stabbed through the head :
his brother, John, had nearly shared the same
fate having received a dreadful wound near the
umbilicus, and many milers-received considerable
tr. nerare by the door and
tvindows. , A piquet trout the Marine Barracks,
and another from the Mb regiment, arrived about
10 o'clock (soon after the murder), and took most
of the ringleaderis into custody.
The nblue,::,icgohitlinadriter,tlyticieointlnuesct wted,it said,
with the tint on
dati.:.l;os in the neighbourhood, particularly at
the Church House Inn, near Stoke Church, which
they entered with naked bayonets, and after des
stroying the furniture, &e. broke nearly all the
windows in the house. 'An examination of the
offenders (10 in number) is expected to take place
to-day at the Town Hall.
An Inquest was held on the body of the person
killed on Thursday, by 3os aro %Yuman), Esq.
Coroner, and a respectable Jury.
The Jury, after the strictest investigation, dur-
ing nine hoots, not being able to affix the murder
to any individual person, returned a verdict of—
" Wilful Murder against some person or persons
unknown."

be Submitted to the•said Universities, in concur-

there appears the following extract from a litter
dated the 23t1 of June 1791, addressed by trite Col-
lege of Cardinals from Rome, to tile four titolar ,
Archbishops of Ireland :—" .1 he Sec of Rome
never taught that faith was not to be kept with
Heretics ; that an oirth to kings separated from
the Catholic communion can be violated ; that it
is lawful for the Bishop:of Rome to ineade.their
temporal rights and dominions :" " con-
shier, also, an attempt against the life of Kings
end Princes, even under the pretext of religion,
as an horrid and detestable crime." The falaity
of all these assertions is so notorious to every
person versed in ecclesiastical history, that it is
very astonishing that the framers of this Repent
did Oat state this. But as they are unaccom-
panied with any observations, the British public
may be erroneously led to believe, that the Com-
mittee sanctioned them as founded in truth,
though their'practical effects have prothiced such
calamities in every country in Europe, 'milieu-.

juration appointed by law to be taken by those
who are admitted to offices under the government,
they are desigoated as false, impious, damnable,
and heretical, and those who take it are required
to make a specific renunciation of them. --:,Now I
hope to be able to prove, that all these destruc-
tive doctrines were established by the general
cemiscils and canons of the Burnish Church, which
its votaries consider as infallible, and that they
are considered so at this Time. In doing this, I

From these extracts from the canons of the

prise, that they have beeti a fruitful source of
treasonable conspiraeleS, massacres, Etssassioat ions,
and rebellions in most parts of Europe, but par-
ticularly in the British !sire, ; and yet their exist-
ence, has been denied by the Eng!ish Papists in

The Rev. Charles Plowden, n pepish priest,
who lives and officiates at Bristol, published a
book in London, iu the year 1790, eotitled,

defends his infallibility, and end eft Y6U rj to. prove
that it cannot he duogerous to civil goiremoents.
lu page 31, he says, " the bishops of all nation,,

tions, to be as necessary fi,r the constitution of
the church, as councils thernselves.
is always visible, amd its authority iteitifallible iH
spite of modern prejudices. Hence we consider
its decrees, in matters of faith and morels, as ir-
retragable decisions." page 30, he say " that
true coAncils represent the whole church, and are
certainly infallible," and " that the judicial de-
crees of the Pope, addressed to thochorehes, iu
form of decisive judgments and rules of faith, en-
joy the saute privilege."
Mr. Francis Plowden, his brother,. Voil a bar-
rister, says, in page 21 of his Case Stated, pnb-
liShed in London, in 1791,4" that. Roman Catho-
lics admit the .decrees of a.-general council, in
matters of faith and morality, when approved by
the Pope, and received by the church, to be ab-
solutely infallible, and not liable to di ceit to er-
ror, and that all Roman Catholics are obliged im-
pli :illy to adhere to them:' In p. 17 thereof he
declares, " that if any one says, or pretends to
insinuate, that the modern Roman Catholics differ
io one iota from their ancestors, he either de-
ceives himself, or he wishes to deceive others ;
semper eatlein is more emphatically descriptive of
our religion than ilur jorisprudence."

if these are not opposed by the Caorch at large,

ng cottotils,as of infallible authority, the Fourti,

Lateran, Constance, Basil, Florence, the Second
Council Of Lyons and Trent. He says, in pages
200, 206, 207, thereof, that the conscientious
English Roman Catholics objected to take the
oath of allegiance, framed by James 1. because
it contained on objukition of the Pope's deposing
power (3) ,'! and which will enoally told goon to the.
end of the world." In p. 178, he says, of the san-
guinary sacerdotal fanatics, who saered
reign, for having framed treasonable con-
spiracies against her life and govennuent, " those
holy men, no less than constant martyrs, whom
Catholics in every part of the Chuck, have look-
ed upon with such high veneration." in p. 1847,
he calls them " saintAike personages." In p.
192, be says, " the zeal and pety of these truly
rapostolical men.". In p. 197, lie says, in defence
of those pious martyrs, whose trasou was sane-
cloned by the general councils which I have quot-
ed, " to overturn the. religiotryhich Christ.
suppoSed to have established, ant which the coun-
try has adopted, is one of those:causes-which jus...'
tyies resistance on the pall ff tte subject, and aa-

The Rev. Doctor Ttoy, titithr Archbishop of
Dublin, says, in his famous Pas oral Letter, pub,
tithed in the year 1713, page 31, " It
