XXTRACT OF A LEA ;'ER Ot4 sEiT.
" A dreadful storm of thunder and lightning
Was experienced here aboui twelve o'clock on
rri'day night ; the Violence of the forme: surpass-
ed thing of the kind ever heard in this island
before. We are happy to say, that it did little
Mischief.—A Court of Vice Admiralty was held
Yesterday at the Court-house, for the trial of the
schooner Cumberland, charged with a breach of
the laws of Trade and Navigation, %viten his
Ronour the Judge was pleased to condemn the
vessel."

We beg that our Readers, and the friends of
the PROTESTANT CHURCH in general, will attend
to the Letter signed LANPRANK in THE SUN of
this day. We can assure them that it conies from
9ne of the most learned, able, and respectable
cliaraeters in this Country, and we are, therefore,
persuaded, that she s,ries, which We are promised,
Will impress the Empire at large with a due sense
of the danger that would atcend any farther con-
cessions to POPERY. As we expect from our learned
and enlightened Correspondent much better argu-
Mena and illustrations than we can presume to of-
fer, however active we have already been in draw-
ing attention to a subject of such vital importance
to our happy Establishment in Church and State,
We shall at present say nothing front ourselves,
e-xcept to add that we invite the friends of that
Establishment to come forward in support of it.
Qur columns shall be open to them, and we trust,
'kith, our resources, that Government will find
Trtv Sox an essential plop, while it resolutely
upholds the British Constitution in preserving a
PuoTESTANT ASCENDANCY.

Some of the Jacobin Papers--for offensive as
the word is to the Parry Prints, we shall retain
it—s-some of these Prints, and some of those which
vacillate between Ministry and Opposition, still
pretend to accuse Government of having employed
ctivert as a Spy, and as an Instigator of Crimes,
which they say he was employed to detect. The
Telly of this charge renders it hardly worthy even of
on rice. It was said, in reference to *this charge,
that to suppose an individual like OLIVER could
,have 'raised such a spirit of Rebellion, was as ab-
surd frs to suppose that throwing a stone into the
Atlantic would raise it into a--tempest. No allu-
sion was made ID OLIVER in the late Trials, and
is it to he supposed that, if the charge in question
could have been supported upon any grounds of
probability, the Counsel for the prisoners would
not have made use of such a plea, and have de-
scanted on the influence which an artful Spy would
have on such innocent and ignorant men as liami-
nnErn amid the rest ? The public Writers who
continue to advance this senst less charge, must
suppose that their Readers are ideots, a supposition
not unreasonable or ridiculous ; and, indeed, if
the majority of their Readers were not sirs, it
would be difficult to account for the success which
has attended their publications.
The Morning Chronicle, with that zeal which it
displayed in favour of the culprits before they
were brought to trial, in order to mislead the
Minds of the Jury, and excite a prejudice in fa-
vour of these culprits, has a long article upon the
subject this day, which it declares to come from
authority—no doubt as good authority as that
tram which all its foreign fabrications are derived.
In the article alluded to, The. Chronicle endeavours
to' mike the public believe that OLIVER devised
the whole scheme .of the rebellion, and that
13.RANDRETH was his simple agent. If so, we say
again, why' did not BISANDRETH'S Counsel urge
this story in his favour ? Not a word of OLIVER
Was Mentioned on the trials. The Chronicle cannot
deny that the treasonable guilt was proved against
the culprits, and therefore, with shallow cunning,
confines itself to a previous conspiracy, which is
probably the result of ,its owo invention. The
Chronicle says, " There is no doubt that the duty
of those two Government spies (Otayea and an-
other person, whom it calls BRADLEY) was cir 7
ctunscribed ; but it is clear that they abusrd
the authority with which they were invested,
anti that' they alone excited those insurrections
Which gave rise to the prosecutions." Thus The
Chronicle itself can only charge.Goverurtent with
What was its duty,' viz. to detect and frustrate the
plots of Rebellion, but if The Chronicle has such
