LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 18:28.

The Paris Journals contain little fresh:intelli-
gence from the theatre of war. A letter in the
Gazette de France, dated Jassy, states that on
the 2d inst. four battalions of Infantry, belonging
to the corps of Prince SHERBATOFF, and three
pieces of cannon, passed through that city, and
continued their march at day-break to the Danube.
A day or tw•o will probably bring us important
tidings.

We received this morning the Austrian Ob-
server to the 18th inst. from which the follow-

ing is an extract :

VIENNA, sErr. 17.

The Universal Gazette. of Greece of I. August has
the following from Egina:—" Last Friday afternoon his
Excellency the President arrived here, and inspected the
new lazaretto and the school which is intended for tile
reception and education of 600 poor children. The Baron
de St. Denis, agent of France to. the Greek Government,
arrived at Egina on 10th August."
The Marquis of Douro and Lord Charles Wellesley ar-
rived at Vienna, from-Silesia, the day before yesterday.

On account of the continued bad weather, and the over-
flowing of the Schweellat, the exercises of the troops in
the camp at Traiskirehen are suspended for the present,
and the troops quartered partly in the neighbouring towns
and villages, and partly in the suburbs of this city.

The French mail is arrived, and brings
Gibraltar Chronicles, which we received of the
11th inst. An official notice has been issued by
the Governor, in► the present state of the health
of that place, that all places of public worship
of every description shall be closed until further
notice.

The Governor had also issued a notice, stating
that cases of lever of a suspicious nature have
occurred, and calls upon the inhabitants to aid
the prompt measures the Governor has taken to
suppress any infectious disease.

We learn from private letters, that notwith-
standing the fever is existing, its character is not
of amalignant nature. Great complaints are made
of.the laxity in the granting permits to a number
of fi_geign brokers on payment of fees, and that
the alarm still continues to be great ; a large
number of persons have been sent out of the
garrison,
on board ships, and on the neutral
ground, so that the population is much thinned.

A letter has been received from St. R
oque,
dated the Bth instant, which leaves no doubt of
the existence of the fever at Gibraltar,
states that two children in the family of Mr.
MARTIN, in the Secretary's Office, and several
privates in the 12th Regime►►t, l►ad already fallen
a sacrifice to its malignant virulence.

We learn, by Papers from Frankfort, dated
tbe 19th inst., that the German Diet adjourned

yesterday for several months. The accounts we
have received of the negociations of the Commis-
sioners assembled at' Cassel from the States of
central Germany' are satisfactory, and several
regulations favourable to commerce are expected
to be the result.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE'S letter is cer-
tainly one of the most singular rhapsodies which
we ever remember to have read.. It is one con-

tinued tissue of intemperance, without even an
attempt at reasoning—the weak drivelling of pre-
judice, with all its violence and passionate con-
fidence ; and it is only deserving of notice from
the rank and consequence of the -writer, and as
an index also of the temper which animates that
small phalanx, with the Earl of ELDON at its
head, who are determined to make a last stand
for intolerance. His Grace's creed, political
and religious, seems to be comprised in hating
and cursing what he calls ". liberalism, neutrality,
imd conciliation." He calls it "an accursed
~ hateful system ;" and his ge-
system"—a
neral style is quite in unison with this
temperate declaration of his sentiments.—
" Wretches, traitors," &c. are the moderate
epithets by which he characterises all those who
differ. from himself in their political views, Not
only are the Catholics denounced as traitors—.
" itinerant popish demagogues (he says) are
roaming through the country spouting sedition'
and treason ;" Mr.. O'CONNELL is " a fellow
who years since- deserved to be hanged for his
treason ;" but the whole body of Protestant
Dissenters are stigmatised as being "actuated by
no principle hut a hatred of order." We quote
these passages, because they contain a practical
definition of his Grace's views, and of what he
means by that Protestant Ascendancy for which he
so violently contends. His Grace openly condemns
the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts,which
extended freedom and equal rights to the Pro-,
testant Dissenters ; and his notion is, as fitr as
we can expect it from such an effusion of un-
measured violence,• that the British COnstitution
and the Protestant religion cannot exist in their
purity, unless every one who conscientiously dif-
fers from the rites and ceremonies of the Church
of England be excluded from all offices of ho-
nour and emolument. This is the foundation on

which this hereditary legislator would place the
pure reformed faith ; namely, a monopoly for the
genuine state Protestants of wealth and honour.
Those who would not conform to the standard of

faith prescribed by the Government, he would
rigidly proscribe from the public service. He
would impose this penalty on them for no other
reason but because of their religious creed ; be-
cause, adhering conscientiously to their own
mode of faith, they refuse to conform to that
adopted by the Church of England. This is
what his Grace calls Protestant Ascendancy—
this monopoly of lucrative offices for the true
adherents of the Church he deems the essence of
religion. When the Government excludes Dis-
senters from all the good fat places in its gift,
then the Protestant religion flourishes ; this, ac-
cording to his Grace, is serving GOD ; but when
we relax the penal laws against Dissenters, and
allow them a fair participation in those lucrative
places, this, he says, is serving Mammon !
But lest we should he accused of mis-
representing him, we shall give his own
words, first premising that the whole Ties-

tion is whether the Catholics and Protestant
Dissenters shall be admitted to fill civil and mi-

itary offices. The. Protestants were admitted to
;his privilege by the Act of last Session, and

the Catholics claim the same right. On this
question his Grace says, " We must now decide
whether we shall range ourselves with Pro-
testants or Papists ; • whether we will serve GoD
or Mammon ;" meaning clearly, that in giving
up the monopoly of lucrative offices we are
serving Mammon ; and this is the whole mat-
ter about v hich such a dismal outcry is raised
by a small party, the obstinate enemies of civil

and religious freedom. The last Session, we
are told, was stained by " liberalising religion,"
and this, which was merely the removing of the
disqualifications which excluded Dissenters from
public offices, he calls a " stab to the Esta-
blished Church." His Grace thus very fairly
lays open his religious creed. He explains
what be means by the Protestant religion. His
pure orthodox faith consists in engrossing
for himself and his friends all the good
things of the State. This is what he
calls Protestant Ascendancy, but which
we call tyranny and persecution ; and be-
cause this is partly done away, and is expected
to be wholly done away, he sets up the old out-
cry that the Church and the Constitution is in
danger. He sees the British Constitution only
in its defects. He seems to imagine that it is
essentially comprised in the disqualification and
proscription of large classes of citizens; and
because it is proposed to admit the Irish Catho-
lics to equal privileges with their Protestant fel-
low-subjects, he is, or affects to be, in a most
violent alarm for the Constitution and for reli-
gion ; and he will have the Popish Association,
as he calls it, instantly annihilated ; the voice
of treason, by which he means all that is contrary
to his tyrannical and persecuting creed, instantly
stifled ; all Popish establishments abolished ; no
Roman Catholic to vote at any election ; and,
finally, a full and undisputed Protestant ascend-
ancy established ; by
which he means that all

who differ from the:Church of England creed
.shall be under the penalty of proscription and
disqualification, while the true converts to that
orthodox faith shall be rewarded with the posses-
sion of lucrative posts. On the whole, his
Grace's letter seems a production of which the
folly is an antidote -la the malignity. It is the
mere raving of a fanatical partisan, vainly holding
by long-exploded prejudice, preaching up the
doctrine of tyranny and persecution, 'poorly dis.-
guised under a certain puritanical cant and af-
fected zeal for religion. His Grace ought to
know that such pious frauds are not to be passed
off in the present generation.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

A calm seems to have succeeded the storm of
yesterday in the English Funds, which were sold, at
the close of business, at 86; this morning they
opened at 86i but such was the uncertainty of
the market for the first half-hour that it was diffi-
cult to get at the precise price; the market, how-
ever, shortly took a favourable turn, and they ad-
vanced to 864, buyers, but chewed weakness upon
a sale or two, and went 86 but are now the
former price, 864 I ; the Commissioners gave 86i ;
upon the whole there is an appearance of languour
in the market, indicating a fear of entering into
speculations of importance for the present. India
Bonds and Exchequer Bills are both lower, the
former being 90 3, the latter 70 3 pm.
This is settling day in the Foreign Funds, and
consequently the arrangements of account occupy the
chief attention of the Brokers ; Brazilian Bonds are
rather higher, 651; the other Foreign Securities hilve
not fluctuated. The following may be stated as tbe
present quotation.

In Shares there is nothing worthy of particular
notice to state : Imperial Brazilian Mines are 49 51;
National ditto, 54 6 pm.; Anglo Mexican, 73 1 dis.
The French mail has not arrived, owing, it is
supposed, to the strong contrary winds.

Consols, after reaching for a moment 86i, buyers,
have fluctuated between 86 alternately buyers and

GUILDS OF DUBLIN—NO SURRENDER.—
This day a meeting was held at the Merchants' Hall, of the
Masters and Wardens of the Guilds of Dublin, Mr. Sheriff
HonGEs in the Chair, when after a great deal of angry talk
from Alderman KING, DAVY M'CLEARY, and ethers, they
resolved to address his MAJESTY, pray ing of him to dis-
miss from his Councils those Ministers who have endan-
gered the Protestant Ascendancy, and poisoned the Royal
mind against the Protestants of Ireland ; likewise praying
his MAJEsry to disfranchise the Forty-shilling Freeholders,
and thus enable them once more to lie down in peace and
quietness.—/Jublen _Evening Pose of Saturday.

On Wednesday night this town was visited
by a dreadful storm which raged with unabated fury until

At a meeting of the Chelmsford Horticultural
Society on the 23d instant, the first prize for Dahlias
(eight varieties of which are required to he shewn by each
competitor) was unanimously given to flowers raised from
seed by Mr. NTEITCH, of Killerton, near Exeter. Of his
Flora Perfect', Victory, Beauty of Devon, and Star of
Devon, we were able to retain the names in our memory.
A circumstance occurred in the Theatre on
Tuesday evening, which created much alarm, but from
which, tintunately, no accident resulted. The house was
excessively crowded, and (luring the performance of the
afterpiece, a small portion of the ceiling fell from the
roof into the gallery. A cry was immediately spread
that the house was falling, and many individuals rushed
over the orchestra to the stage from the pit. A num-
ber of persons in the gallery, with more coolness and
presence Of mind, succeeded in preventiug any dangerous
rush from that quarter, and the manager came upon the
• and entreated the audience to remain still, as the
alarm was groundless and would soon be over, It was ascer-
tsaaaingune ed that a boy had got in by stealth from the roof of an
adjoiningof the theatre, and in passing along to the aperture which
gives

one of the ventilators on the roof
gallery to the top of the house, had
stepped upon the lath, and pressed iu the plaster.—Perth
