MR. EDITOR,--As the troubles that for so
Icing a season agitated the nation to its utmost extremities still
linger and ferment in their half-extinguished-principles, as the
clouds that have so long obscured commercial and financial
prosperity, instead of clearing up, grow darker (with a few par-
tial and local exceptions) and threaten an eclipse, if not an ex-
tinction of our beloved country's glory and goveaninalig and
the most patient endUrance is not cheered with a ratitgil;ptas-
,
pect of a close to sufferings, poignant a.4,th;y are iu4xampled,
every mind capable of reflection is famed to stop- and look
,
round for an adequate Cause. The daring and:incessant disse-
minatiOn of atheistic arid revolutionary principles in every va-
riety of form Which detection cannot shame, 111;t: punishment
livera.We and put a stop to, have, with the strictest justice, as one
probable source of the commotions, been referred to. But whence-
these are derived, and wlay of late, so furiously propagated,*haS°
not been so much as suspected. Since the effect as to degree
isievent, so indisputably must be the cause. Nor need we
look far, when we see and hear on every side resuscitated se-
minaries of the execrable fraternity of Loyola, and other con-
sanguineous orders, with the addition of a Catholic hierarchy in
Ireland (if not elsewhere) paid and fostered by Government to an
extent unknown, and increasing ever), Session. When, at le
very same time, we see foreign Catholic States, Calliclic even
to bigotry, while seeking to regenerate their superannuated and
now degenerate Constitutions, find the existence of such orders
utterly incompatillle with the steady re-establishment of men.
tal, moral, or political prosperity, and therefore have suppressed
them, the following extracts will not be deemed inappropriate
to our present situation :
" I suppose, if the whole globe were searched, and the most
authentic records of sacred and profane history examined, it
would be found that there never was a nation whose spiritual
prosperity has been more consulted in the dispensations of Di-
vine Providence, or whose entire Constitution bore a more fa-
vourable aspect towards the establiShment of Gospel Faith,
than that of .Great Britain. But lam persuaded that an' im-
partial scrutiny would equally demonstrate, that no nation in the
world has discovered a greater degree of wanton ingratitude Under
-these signal blessings, or a stronger propensity to the admission
of :error in its- most dangerous forms. Let. us consider it in
these two points of view. When our Church and State lay un-
der the darkness and tyranny of Rome, by what marvellous
and gracious interposition did GOD dispel the clouds that en-
veloped the one, and break the chains that fettered the other ?
pouring upon us the light of truth and the blessings of li-
berty together, emancipating us from the slavery of Anti-
Christ, thif we might wear the honourable badge, and submit to
the blessed yoke of that almighty Deliverer, who came, in the
most exalted- sense, to make us free." To being about so im-
portant an event men were endowed with the most shining
" talents., and anointed with a divine unction. Learning and
grace united all their inLal.' ence in fitting them for the most ar-
ctuous work in the wokl, that of vindicating truth, detecting
error, and establishing-reformation. The glorious work, being
of GOD, was crowned with success ; the doannas of Popish
Synods were rejected; the slavish principles of Rome were re-
probated ; and that fallen City proved-the seat of AntisChfist.
The Scripture, the key which unlocks the treasures of wisdom,
Was put into the hands of the people ; their eyes were opened to
behold the depths of Satan, in the former errors that had been
obtruded on them. Then superstition was banished to its pri-
mitive shades, and disappointed tyranny forced to bite its iron
chains. The beast with the seven heads roared, but in vain ;
its Bulls were esteemed but as empty bubbles; and all the thun-
der of its Anathemas was felt only as the noise of the waves, or
the dashing of their scum against the solid rock. Then Reforma-
tion reared its aspiring head, amidst clouds of smoke and flames
of persecution ; and Liberty, with a profuse hand, scattered in-
numerable blessings wherever she trod. The instruments of
this great work derived their materials for the completion of it
from the fountain ofTruth itself, the Bible. These they threw into
a sacred formulary, and collected the principal and brightest rays
of truth to form the Creeds, and establish those Articles which
constitute the glory of the Reformation. The great doctrines
contained in them, their preaching propagated, their blood
sealed. They lived Reformers and they died Martyrs ! ! But
hear it with astonishment, ye friends of Reformation, these
brightest stars, whose wisdom enabled them to penetrate
the thick darkness of error ; and whose grace carried them
victorious and triumphant through torments and death, are, in
the present day, reputed as imposers on our faith, and the
system they handed down to us as an antiquated tradition, or an
almanac out of date. Under-all the advantages they possessed of
knowing the will of God, there have not been wanting men,
who have more than insinuated that our reformers were bad
interpreters of Scripture; and who have wished our doctrinal
articles thrown aside as useless lumber, or an .intolerable
burden. Thus the vine which the Lord brought out of Egypt,
(out of Rome) these men wish torn up by the roots • and the
fence that surrounds it they would rejoice to see levelled with
the ground. And to what end ? Why, that those 'who cannot
get at the grapes without climbing the fence of subscription,
might riot upon the spoils with greater ease. And that, when
the obnoxious barrier was removed, our church, like the vine-
yard of the Lord, might lie open to every beast of thesfield that
chose to devour its fruits, and to every wild ass that wanted to
quench its thirat at her fountain !! ! ' After remarking the
demoralizing results of such principles and such measures, and
delineating them, in the darkest colours ; yet not darker than
What the truth and soberness of dispassionate reflection will as-
sent to, he adverts to the political consequences which the state
tmay expect to follow. 4 I shall not here presume to deter-
mine any thing. absolutely respecting God's. visitations : that
would be equally inconsistent with the dictates of modesty and
humility, as with the laws of truth and soberness. 'Prophecy is
not the province of the now, as it has been in old
time ; and any attempt to tread that sacred, ground, being the
suggestion of enthusiasm, must be attended with pride and-ter.
urinate in mistake. There is, however, a path, which we may
tread with safety, in investigating the dispensations of the Al-
mighty; and it is the way of wisdom, and of certainty too.
When an axiom or self-evident truth in Scripture has been
corroborated by a chain of providential facts, all tending to the
same evd, and illustrative of the same thing, we may inter cer-
tainly, that, under similar circumstances, the same truth will
meet with a similar application on the whole; and the infer-
ence, in that case, will be as certain as the unchangeable truth
and corroborating dispensations on which it is founded."' Now
no Scripture axiom is more frequently or more forcibly incul-
cated than the detestation which the Deity • expresses at Our
having any other objects of religious worship than His own in-
finite perfections. odo not this abominable thing which my
soul hateth." And why ? Because nothing more tends to
vitiate and demoralize the human mind than exercising the de-
votional affections on an idolatrous object. Witness the Ca.:
naanites of old, where every moral abomination that could de-
grade and pollute ,human society, was practised without con-
trol ; for it is expressly stated, " they lived after the manner of
the Zidonians, and there was no magistrate in the land to put
them-to shame in anything." Witness also modern Ilindos-
tan, where humanity and virtue recoil at the horrors which for
ages have: been disseminated and perpetrated through all its
states, under the form of devotional ritual, and sanction of rel..
gious principle. Yet with these. catholicism 'so fraternises and
associates, that Dr. Buchanan saw even the obscene car of Jug-
gernaut used in a popish festival, to conciliate the Hindoos ;
the perpetual pretext offered by the priests in all past, as well
as present, times, for incorporating the abominations of hea-
then idolatry with Christianity, until the latter is completely
lost in the forms of their atrocious ritual.. But there is and has
been all along, a further end in view than mere conciliation.
We know the hierarchy of Rome has risen to that height of
blasphemous impiety, as to pretend to forgive sin. First prat--
ticed in relaxing the penalties of their monastic institutions ;
but now for many ages extended to every offence against Gon
and man, upon paying the priests: their stipulated fees ; for
every crime has its price. So ;hat the propagation of vice, or

den, of every institution that nourishes piety and virtue, is b
come their horrible interest, and incessant occupation, di-
rectly or indirectly, avowed or concealed. For proof look
at the moral state of every Catholic country; look at our
own, since the repeal of the penal statutes, where mendicity,
robbery, tumult and assassination have rendered the me-
tropolis, and many of our large country towns, a " ma-
gor-missabib terror round about." We frequently, see or
hear of popish criminals, when launching into eternitY, ao-
lemnly declare (although they have been convicted on the dear-
est evidence) ." that they are innocent of the crime 'for which
they suffer,' pure as unsunned snow, confiding in the absolu-
tion pronounced by their execrable priests. And. that this has
been their constant practice, read the testimony of an author of
the highest eminence in the learned world, frequently styled
another name for the learning itself, "the celebrated Erasmus:"
_What shall I say of such as cry up and maintain the cheati of
p.ardOns and indulgencies.? That by these compute the
time of each soul's residence in purgatory, and assign them
a lesser or shorter continuance, as they purchase more
or fewer of these paltry pardons and saleable exemptions ?
By this easy way of prirchasing, pardons, any notorious high.
- weaymarl; any phintieriag 'soldiera fifty
.bribe-taking judge, shall
,disburse some part of their unjust gains, and so. think all their
grossest impieties sufficiently atoned for; so manv perjuries,
lusts, drunkenesses, quarrels, bloodsheds, cheats, 'treacheries,
and all sorts of debaucheries, shall be as it were struck a bar-
gain for ; and such a contract made, as if they had paid off all
arrears, and might now begin upon •n new score ! Several of
these fooleries, which are so gross and absurd as I myself am
ashamed to mention, are practiced and admired, not only by the
vulgar but by such proficients in religion as one might well ex-al
pect should have more wisdom ! (See Panegyric on Folly, page
09). Indeed it is universally known that this' began the Re.
formation,, and it is still with the utmost effrontery avowed or
palliated by their whole body. When we behold, not theaolera-
tion, but the virtual establishment of 'these enormities, by a
systematic encroachment, practiced every new Session. of Par-
liament, by their patrons and partizans; from the order by the
War Office of a salary to Popish Chaplains in the army, up to
the establishment of three Jesuit Universities' Castle Brown
and Maynooth in Ireland, and Stoneyhurst in England ; of 7
Colleges aid 40 Schools; many of them Monastic Establish-
ments, that fled from the Continent during the late war, and
now polluting the British soil, it is surely high time for the
nation to wake from 'its dream ; and break the. chains that are
evidently preparing., for, it: and to require exclusion, not only
from Parliament,. but also from what is called the Cabinet, of
all partizans of that treacherous'and hostile communion. Since
not only'the internal, but also the external interests of the na-
tion have been sacrificed through palpable misadvice, in other
instances besides the Colonial Timber Trade, ever since the
peace. Take the past practices of 'the conclave 'ever since the
Reformation, in the words of a late respected writer.—" The
indignant Pontiffs beheld the loss of their flocks, and the defal-
cation of their revenues, and deep in their hearts meditated the
means of their recovery, and of vengeance on their enemies.-.-
The pacifimtion of Augsburg has bound up the arm of violence '
from persecution, and every where proclaimed peace and toler-
ance among the contending Princes. But peace was torment'
to the Romish Prelates, and tolerance of all imaginable evils.
the most intolerable : high treason against the majesty of those.
Anathemas which they had hurled against all heretics. The
first object, therefore, of Rome, and of those who filled the
Papal Chair, -was to break this bond of union ; to rouse the
Catholic Princes to freeh acts of oppression in their own dorni-
nions, to bring back to the house of their prison those who had
emancipated themselves from the yoke of bondage. As the ob-
ject was to recover their lost power, wealth and dominion, the
means they possessed were unfortunately too well suited to the
end. ' The house of Austria, with the other Catholic Prima,
devoted partizans of the Holy See, were especially conned to
these they looked for an arm of flesh and persecution. Another
and yet more powerful engine was found in the wily, insinuat-
ing, restless and indefatigable Order of Jesuits; the firmest sup-
porters of the Holy See, and its most zealous as well as able
satellites. These were dispersed through all lands, and seized
every opportunity to pervert the ignorant or oppress the feeble.
In the Courts of Princes, whose confessors they chiefly were,
the laxity of their moral system recommended their prescrip-
tions for quieting guilty consciences • and one commutation
was always sure to be suggested, zeal for the conversion of he-
retics, and the employment of any means, however Savage; or
contrary to the most solemn engagements, cancelled all alines.
The pens of their artful and perfidious Casuists were first em-
ployed to prove the nullity of the peace of Augsburg, and. to
charge upon the Protestants various pretended--infractions, to
justify the attack meditated against thern,"l- &c. Set. This
brought on the thirty years carnage, ending in the Peace of
Westphalia. Then the Protestants of Poland and of Hungary
were made their prey ; and the Dukes of Savoy and Piedmont
were'instigated to hunt out the poor remains of the Waldenses."
After followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantz : then the
Civil Wars in Britain, under Charles 1., whose Queen was a
bigotted papist, and had a principal hand in exciting the bloody
scenes that followed. Then what can be looked for now, where
these infernal incendiaries are actually re-established ? The
establishment of Popery in Canada brought on the American
War, and has left the name of the Minister for a curse to all
future British generations : as the present Irish measures will ren-
der that of their promoters to the Protestants in the Sister King-
dom. To some may be applied the words of the Poet : What,
strewest thou sugar on that bottled spider, whose deadly web
ensnareth thee about ?" But sure there is good sense enough
yet in the Senate, to prevent the dreaded catastrophe.-1 an

The sect of the Sou•ritco,TiANs, it seems, are not extinct !
In the neighbourhood of Totness,'Devon, there arcs some
dreds of silly people, who belieVe that Johanna and het.Son
are making. the tour of Egypt !, They have separated from-all
other religious communities. A poor woman was nearly
strangled, a few weeks ago, by a self-elected prophetess of this
sect, who pretended that she had on the same morning been
moved to kill the woman, beci.,se the latter had no faith in her
inspiration ! _

lIEEs.—On the 28th ult. died at Widdrington, much la-
mented, Mr. Robert Reed, aged 67. He was well known in
" Northumberland for his knowledge and management of Bees,
in which he took great delight. kle several times exhibited a
swarm suspended from his band on the market-days at 'Mor-
peth and Alnwick, as well as at other places.
THE CARBoxAni.--7-It was under the govern-
merit of Murat, that Caroline of Austria, Queen
of Naples and sister to the unfortunate Marie
Antoinette, knowing the spirit of independence'
which animated the' nation, instituted the society
of the Carbonari, for the purpOse of dethroning
..the Frenchman as a foreign usurper. She pro-
mised them to establish a- government founded
on rational liberty, and all the persons, who were
initiated, bound them .Ives by an awful oath to
observe the most inviola..vpsecrecy as to the ob-
ject of the society. These. 'fleas of liberty, never,
ceased to germinate among the members of this
occult society, which was composed of citizens of
every class without exception. It' was a fire
which lay concealed under the ashes, ready to
.burst forth at the first favourable moment. The
proclamation of the Spanish constitution at Ma-
drid last year was the signal for the explosion,
and this constitution was accordingly proclaimed
at Naples; The name of Carbonari, or Colliers,
was taken by the .society as emblematical of the
secrecy of their operations, which, like the col-
liers, they conducted in the • dark.—French
