ever the Creed to which their judgments may as-
sent."—The first two of these seditious Prayers
are levelled at our Establishment' in Church
and State ; and the last is obviously intended
to recommend the removal of all farther
restrictions upon the Roman Catholics, and to
yield them a full participation in political and le-
gislative power. We shall evract two more pas-
sages, to spew that the tendency of these impious
productions was to attack Religion through its
Professots—" That it may please ye to give and
preserve to our use the kindly fruits of the earth,
unfazed by men in black, whom those who wish for
their instruction ought alone to support" ; the
meaning of which is, that there should be an end
of the NATIONAL CHU KCH :—" That it may please
ye to put on short allowance ,11 Bishops, Pries- s,
and Deacons, that their fleshy appetites, being re-
duced, their • spiritual mindedness may thereby
he increased, and so that both by their preach-
ing and living they may set it forth, and spew it
accordingly."—We could cite other pasages, but
these are sufficient to sheee the tendency of the
'orks inquest ion, and we may fairly ask whether
the intention of the man who composed them could
be harmless, and whether he is acquitted by the
great tribunat of people at large. And now we
submit to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, whether
those productions, which he has denounc-
t_d as impious and blasphemous, ought to be Cir
ciliated all over the Empire. under the spe -ions
form of the rebores of Law Proceedings. We see
in The Morning Chronicle of this day, the follow-
ia ti,eirent ,
" THE PARODlES.—Preparing for the Press,

I. WILLIAM FIONE's REPORT of his Three TRIALS, on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last, at Guildhall, London,
fur publishing THE PARODIES."
Now it is evident that,' under cover of an ac-
count of the LAW Proceedings:it is the intention of
the Defendant to give a universal currency to those

profane Parodies which no religious man can pos-
sibly real without shuddering; and w' ich every
wise man, whatever may be his religious fair!),
must admit to be calculated to mislead the

wary, and to bring Religion into contempt We

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,-111 your Paper of the II th and
13th inst. two letters appeared, signed A Ram.
ANTI-GALLIC:AN, whereitt the aged and honourable
KING Of SAxotav is very t►: j►tstly attacked and vil-
call him honourable, because I know no
prince or Sovereign on the Continent that so
completely reigns in the hearts of his subjects as
be does, and has done upwards of 50 years, and
ant alone seems to me to be the cause of his 'pis-
fortunes. His jealous neigliboor, like the Fax in
the fable, long wishing to devour the Lamb,
watched for the opportunity, and was Issisted by his
powerful friend the Emperor of Russia, who may
in torn devour the fox, when a proper oppor-
tunity may offer. Mr. Editor, will you ask your
valuable Correspondent how he can prove the
King of SAXONY to be a greater sinner than the
King of PRUSSIA ? Did not the latter officially de-
nounce, cashier, and order General VON YORK to
be arrested, when he refused to obey BUONA-
FARMS command any longer, and at a time when
not 40 000 French. troops were in all Prussia, and
BOONAPARTE at least on the road, if not arrived
'in Paris at the time ? Still your valuable Cor-
.respondent requires the King of SAXONY to resist,
with 20,000 Saxon troops, a French army of
200,000 men and upwards, scattered over three
parts of his dominions.' The unfortunate King
of SAxoNy was, voluntarily, as little the friend of
BOONAPARTE OS the King of PRUSSIA, but neces-
sity ~omrtimes has no law. Upon the whole, it
stems to me that the King of SAxoNY has, on
this occasion, as well as on many others, acted
with a vast deal more consistency than his rapa-
cious neighbour.

A REAL FRIEND TO ORDER.
