M. EDITOH—May I solicit a place in your.
paper for an observation on PLUNK LT.-f3
sth Resolution, which is, "'ThaCit appears to'
" this Committee that scruples "are entertained
" 4 his • Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,
" with respect to taking ihe said-oath, merely on.
" account of the wordspiritual, and that to re-
" move the said scruples it would be expedient
" to declare the sense in which the said *Wo`rd is
" used, acco'rding to the injunction issued .-by
" Queen ELIZABETH in the Ist and sth of h•vr.::..
" reign, and which, as explained in the article
" orthe Church of England imparts, merely- that
" the Rings of thii Realm should- govern all es-•
" tatcs and-degrees committed-to their charge by.
" Gon, whether they be Ecclesiastical or- I'm.; •
" poral., and restrain -With the civil word t 1 •
stubborn and evil doei."—But he forets to. add '
the clause that immediately follows—, .
" The Bishop of Rome hai no jurisdiction ' •
this Realm:"

-Now, while these last Ivor& remain' in We"
37th -Article, will it remoye the scruples of
,the-Roman cath; tics as to taking the oath, to.
have it explained by the said 37th Article'? ..

THE LONDON .TOUR&ALS.

('AILY EXTIIMITS Vito THE MORNING PAPERS

- [The Tikesl
:On the information •(ir who isjust
.arrived in •town frOrri.Naples; having left that
-city on the I Gth ult. 'Ye are enabled to state that
the Neapolitans bad made ;neat progress •in that
system ofdefensive-war best_ calculated to resist
their invaders.• 'Orders. had been issued for the
.destruction of the iOadsleadiligfrOrn the Roman
froptierto.'Naples, .which were Carried into ef-
fect with so much promptitude, that they were
in a few days rendered impassable; and our in-
lern-rant had no other 'alternative, in order to
"-pursue:llia. journey, than that of embarking at
,-.Naples for Leghorn.-

[Horning Herald.]
•The documentc from Italy are of so interest-
iriz a nature, that we shall not attempt any ana-
lysis of them. It is remarkable, that the Au-
strians advance slowly, and with gradual con-
centration of forte. An opinion prevails, among
well informed persons, that the Neapolitans have
lopes beyond their ostensible resources, either
from .the Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, or
from an. insurrection throughout a great part of
hely. They .certainly could have retreated,
having made terms ;with Austria, if hopeless of
defending
,the new system.

[-British Press.]
From the rapid and continued advance of the
Austrian army towards the frontiers of Naples,
and the equally determined spirit or the Neapo-
litans to offer the invaders resistance, it is pro-
bable •that the next accounts from Italy will tell
cf the commencement of hostilities. For the in:
telli4ence of this great event we look with feel-
flgs of the most painful anxiety. We trust in
Cr'od that the cause of irtue, justice, and pa-
trliltism, will prove victorious.

['New Times.]
•
• .A vast number of Documents from Naples, and
ti .neighbouring States, has reached this coun-
try : from all which it is manifest that the Rebels
are in a state of 'the utmost confusion. Their
_pretended- Parliament has decided on war, with-
out either an Army or a Treasury. That impu-
dent-fiction- of The Times—die army of a Hun-
dred and Fifty-seven Thousand men—has vanish-
ed into.air : and we are aow told that " in con-
srluence of the imperfect state in which not

or;.ly the.eghipment of the Militia is, but eve,

_ .
•_ . .
th 9 whole, materiel .of the Army, a majority
of voices was in favour of the defensive sys-
tem:"—r;The first plan was,to seize upon Rome—

fire se:ond was not to budge from Naples--and
the.third is to fly to the mountains of Calabria!
The Chiefs are quarrelling with each other.-
-.l3elat,'who first headed the Rebels, and was' of
'course appointed Commander-in-Chief, has been
forced to submit to the ascendancy of Fitangieri,
:who is avowedly unfavourable to the Spanish
Constitution so madly imposed upon Naples.—
•The modes adopted to replenish the Treasury
am perfectly revolutionary ; a forced loan of
Three Nlillions of Ducats (hear this, ye Trades-
men of the Borough and of Westminster !) is to
be levied on the industry, trade, and funded
property of the City of Naples—Moveable Di-
Nisicns are dispatched to levy contributions by
force on the Island of Sicily. The Ladies Wei-
their ear-rings (as the Parisian Refoimers of
17S0 did their shoe-buckles):—And the Carbo-
nari, on their part, have begun to exercise the
distinctive energy of their sect by a savage and
cowardly assassination! •

[Mornin.. Otronick.]
The statement brought forward lit the House of
Commons last night, will be examined with the
deepest attention by all who desire to make
themselves acquainted with our real situation,
—How much more clear and intelligible is
this to the Accounts, laid on the Table by
Ministers ? From this we may see, not merely
the necessity of retrenchment, but the means of
effecting it. Every Landowner in the House,
who, night after night, describes the utter ina-
bility of the Farmer to sustain the weight of the
taxes that oppress Agriculture, may here find an
effectual source of relief—for it is only by dimi-

n'shing the expenditure, that the nation can be
relieved .frOm the most. bUrthensome of the taxes
- without any violation of public -faith. If devo-
tion to Ministers shall induce our Iternit- sentatiVes
to abet the temporising system, merely because
they see the Funds'advance under the speculation
of a knotof.j.obbingcapitalists,whohave no interest
In the perman,mt welfare of the country, because
. they can cut and run when the evil day is approach-
; 'ing, they AVil I sacrifice to misplaced confidence the
sacred duty they owe to their constituents. With
thiS view of the Finances before Our eyes, we
must be blind to perceive• the gtilph that
yawns for the fall of public credit.: Within the
last, six months not less than eleven millions
sterlin.- have been transferred from our Funds
to ' foreign -securities, by persons who have
already taken fright ; and it is not the enor-
mous speculation now going on in the Alley,
for.the rise of prices, by means of continuation,
that can stop • the alartrl whizti prevails among
those whose whole fortunes are invested in Go-
vernment Stock.• It is quite true, as stated by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the
'slightest breach of national faith, by the impol
'sition of a stamp on Transfers, would spread such
terror over the whole body, .that the rich would
ruin, and the poor be ruined. But' the same result
will fOilow from a continuance of the intolerable
expense, with this -aggravation, that the first
symptom of the catastrophe--.when the Bank
Shall•ceaSe to• accommodate Government with a
sum to make up the deficiency in the half year's
receipt at the Exchequer, to pay the dividend,
will be perceived by the quick-sighted Jews and
Jobbers, who will leave the bOna fide holders. in
the lurch. A really independent •Cerrirnittee
Would make this' fatal issue. of Ministerial expe
dients palpable to the meanest capacity. •

plonzing Post]

A Government must be singularly free from
blpme, must aft with uncommon prudence, and
even with consummate ability, when rio part
of its own conduct, no main branch of its po-
icy, domestic or foreign, forms a topic of an-

imadversion. Such is the situation in which
t the Opposition have unwittingly placed the
t Government of this country ; and slurring over,
t or avoiding, and not daring to discuss any act
'of its own, they try to raise an outcry against
it for the act of another Government. Such,
' however, is the course actually followed by the
opponents of Ministers on the subject of Naples ;

of
party ; they have made no secret of their inten-
tions, but published them to the world as soon as
an opportunity for justification presented itself.
But, say their antagonists, why not produce the
correspondence on the subject ? Because custom,
and courtesy, and policy, are opposed to the pro-
duction of papers in a case of this kind. if Eng-
land was an immediate party in the transaction ;
if she had been called upon to advance mo•iey,
or to equip an army and fleet, or take any other
active and responsible part in the business, it
would be the duty of her Government to fur-
nish the required information. But such not
being the case, it is not bound to make any
disclosures ; and what ' would the Members of
the Alliance, or any other foreign Power, say, if
this country were to set the example of divulging
communications, made under the solemn seal of
confidence and secrecy,w ithou t the plea of imperi-
ous and paramount necessity ? Yet this reserve,
which could not be violated without something
like dishonour, has been twisted into a charge, or
rather a cause of suspicion, that Ministers have
been favouring, underhand, the meditated aggres-
sion against Naples.
