TO THE CHRISTIAN ADVOc
GEORGE D'OYEny.

THE REVEREND

REVEREND SIR,—As yon have the honour to
held in the University of Cambridge the distin-
guished situation of CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, I trust
I shall stand excused if I address you on a subject
which moat parriculady fills within the line of
your duty, and which, therefore, has a

paramonot claim on your immediate attention.—
To you, Sir, as Christian Advocate, is delegated
tlte important charge of protecting our N4tional
Religion against the attacks of those impious and
daring Sectaries, who, either by open violence or
secret malevolence, attempt to subvert it, and also
of assisting the efforts of those whose talents
and learning are employed in its defence. A
duty more dianified and sacred than this cannot
Lie imagined, nor can a higher honour be con-
ferred on a man than thus to constipate him the
Guardian and Advocate of those "i'ruths, on the
purity of which depeml our hopes of salvation.—
On you, Sir, that honour has beers conferred ;
you have been selected by the Learned and Re-
seven! Body of which you are a Member, to be
the Champion of the Church of England, td vin-
dicate her cause., to maintain her doctrines, and to
a•sist, by your powerful aid, the pious ef-
forts of those who, however humble their skim,
Lion and pretensions may be, are embarked in the
same cause with yourself. To you, Sit, I there-
fore confidently appeal on an occasion which pe-
culiarly demands your attention, and calls upon
you for the exertion of that powerful influence
with which you have been infested. I appeal to
you on the behalf of a most meritorious and (ie-
.
Vow ioditidual, Mr. Jona BELLAMY, whose nn-
impeached character, Hebrew learning; and nni-
fornl zeAl for the interests of Religion, entitle
him not only to general respect; but to the pro-
tection and support of all those who are capable
of appreciating such qualities. This Gentleman,
after dedicating thirty yeah Of his life to the
intrily of the Hebrew language, may, at least, he
suppozied to understand it ; and having issued Pro-
posals for a new Ttauskiion or the Old Testa-
ment, he has lately commenced the fulfilment of
his engagement, by the pnblication of the Book
of GaNzsts. 6hould this valuable Work have
fallen tinder your eye, there cannot be a doubt of
its having rebeived front you that tribute of ap-
probation to which it is so jiFoly entitled, or that
you would hesitate to add the sanction of your
flame tci that already conferred on it by those ii- •
lnstriotss atid respectable persons tinder whose
patronage it has beets published. Nothing less
can he looked • for from the Christian Advocate,
the Defender of Orthodoxy, the Chaplain of the
.Archhishop of Canterbury; titles, Sir, which you,
better than any one, can estimate at their just
value, and which, accordingly as the duties at-
tached to them ate wot dully or unworthily ful-
filled, entitle hint who bears them to honour or
to contempt. This original and learned Work,
the avowed object of which is to overturn the
false doctrines of Sectaries and Unbelievers, has,
however, within these few days, been assailed
lions a quarter Irons which, if any faith may be
reposed on the professions of men, such an
assault was least to lie expected, from This Quar-
terly Review, a Vetiodical Journal tvhich seemed
to profess to support the Establised Church. An
enemy never makes an attack to so much advau-
sage as tinder the disguise of an auonymoits
friend ; against an open toe, precautions may be
used, but against the specious, the sniffing, the
concealed, the professing assassin, who Can be
safe ? It is against an assassin of this base and
revolting description that I presume to implore
ybnr power fill aid. I call on you to stand for-
ward in your public capacity, in Support of this
Meritorious person, against a most sharnefol and
illiberal libel, calculated not only to affect his re•
pOtation as a scholar, but to blast his character
and roils. his interests as a mats, to alienate his
friends, and to deprive Dins of the high patronage
with which his useful laboms have beet) honour-
ed. As the immediate consequence of Mr. Bel-
latny's new version of the Holy Scriptures Must
be the overthrow of those Socinhtn, Unitarian,
and Atheistical principles which disgrace onr sge
and nation, the natural inference to be drawn
from the appearance of this malevolent public's-
tiots certainly is, that it conies froth those most
likely to be affected by Mr. Bellatny's success.
But it must not be concealed from you, that a
strong, and apparently well-founded report pre-
vails, that not in this quarter, but in the bosons
of our own Church is this base assassin to be
found ; that the dagger thus directed in the dark-
tloi and fancied security of anonymous publica-
tion is wielded by the hand of a Reverend rival, the
Editor of a new edition of the received version of
the Scriptures, now in the course of publication,
AV hose credit, and what perhaps he May yet is (ire
sensibly feel, whose profits must materially be
affected, should Mr. Bellamy's version be found
deserviog of general approbation. That such a
renegado, such a %volt iu sheep's cloallting, should
be discovered in the Assembly of our Christian
Pastors is what no one can credit, and the bare
suspicion of which you, Sir, above all others, will.
undoubtedly be the first to repel with frecoming
abhorrence and disdain. But, while you, com-
mon with all good and honourable men, entertain
these laudable sentiments, it more especially be-
hoves you, as Christian Advocate, and one high
in the Confidence of our respectable metropolitan,
to investigate the troth of n report which so sen-
sibly affects the credit of our Church Establish-
ment. To be apprized of its existence most with

you operate as a sufficient motive to follow it up
to ;t source. Your dutyituperionsly calls on you

to drag this Cactus from his den, to hold him top
to pel►Jic opprobrium, and to approve yourself,
nut only in name, but in dced, the Christian Ad-

riv%4. in the tuil confidence that you will do
this with clue zeal and effect, I have the honour
to subscribe myself, Reverend Sir,
Your obedient servant, G. M.
*** Having resolved to open our Columns to
the Advocates for the pure faith of our Orthodox
Church Eitablishment, with which our Political
Constitution is vitally united, we readily insert
the above letter, but we take this opportunity of
avowing our conviction that The Quarterly Rea
view is a work to .vhich the country is deeply in-
debted for its vigorous and eloquent defence of
those principles which are best calculated to sup-
port the safety of the State.—En.

(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)

[Morning Herald.]
THF. QUEEN.

" Kciu, Eight o'Cloi h. Oct. 6.

" Her MAJESTY did not sleep so well last night
as she has done latterly, and in consequence Sir
Francis Mi!man did not retire from the ante-
chamber till nearly three o'clock this morning, at
which time her Alajesty was IlittCll mote at ease,
Soon after eight o'clock Sir Fraud* visited the
chamber of his Royal Patient.
" Towards noon, all the symptoms of her com-
plaint again came on, as they do almost inva-
riably at the same time every day ; •biit neverihe
less her Majesty was still able to hear the remov,,tl.
into her boudoir, about noon, and 'at.five o'clock
to partake, slightly, of her usual repast.
" The Pi incesses took advantkge of the bean-z,
tiful morning, and enjoyed a long;walk among th'e.
distant and sequestered parts of the royal domain;
anti passed an hour or two in the further direction
of their improvements on the lawn. Their Royal
Highnesses were attended tt3 usual by General
Taylor.
" At two o'clock, Sir Henry Halford returned
front attendance on the Princess Sophia, at Wind-
sor Castle, and fpnutl his colleague, Sir Francis
very,tniich itiklisposed ; so much so, that
he was tunable ic-join the dinner party at the table
of their Royal Highliisses the Princesses.

" The Prince Regent did not reach the. Palace,
this evenings till•aix o'clock ; nor did he remain
so long as usual, but having made a hasty visit to
her Majesty,' and conversed A few minutes with
-Sir, Henry Halton!, his Royal Highness returned
to Carlton House.
" The visitor 3 at the Palace were not so nu.
numerous to-day as they have been heretofore ;
whoop., those who did call were the Countess of
Cardigan; Miss Best, and the Misses Disbrow.

" Sir Henry flitiford and Mr. Braude remain
in attendance. Sir Francis Mittman remained very
unwell at seven o'clock."

" MX-LA.(II,II%ILE, Oct. 3, Sir o'Clock, p.nt.

" I use the utmost possible dispatch in inform-
ing you, that the most iniportaiit business of the
Congress ,is already terminated. Yesterday at
Noon, and at the end of the Fifth Conference, the
Evacuation of France by the Allied Troops was
agreed upon. Count.Cartsman, the Ambassador—Of
France at Vienna, whose departure fur Paris wit Is
dispatches I last night mentioned In a letter-(which
you may not, probably, by this time have receiv-
ed,) seas the bearer tit this important and pleas-
ing intelligence to his Sovereign. Though I heard
the news at an early hour this morning, I could
not obtain any details, or even learn the founda-
tion on which it rested, until now ; and was un-
willing to agitate the English public by vague
rumours. The shortness of the tithe may plead
my apology for sending you at present only a few
particulars. The Act or Convention for the eva-
, citation of France is not yet signed, but the fol-
lowing statement may be relied upon t—The Al-
lied Troops are to leave France in the course of
the present month, or early in the beginning of.
next, at such intervals and- by such routes as may
be afterwards determined to be most convenient
for all parties. The Allied Powers arc perfectly
satisfied with the present state of France, and the
securities which she offers, in her internal condition,
tot the preservation of the general tranquillity.—
They ate likewise satisfied with the proposed
guarantees for the payment of the contributions.
These contributions are all to be discharged in the
course of nine months from the signature of the •
Treaty. The first instalment is to be 25 per cent.
upon the whole sung; and the remainder is to be
paid by equal instalments at the end of every two
months. The first payment of 25 per cent, will
take place on the 26th of December of the present
year. The house of Baring and Co., supported
by their friends of the other banking-houses of
Europe, is the security. Mr. Baring was yester-
day called to a conference, and presented satis-
factory guarantees. The distribution of the stints
to be contributed I have not yet been able mi-
nutely to ascertain, but the following.aref„tlie por-
tions allotted to the greater Powers

llassia will receive 48 millions of francs.
England 48 ditto
Atisttia, about 40 ditto
Prussia, Khout 40 ditto
The Netherlands is ditto
va r 10 ditto
The remainder will be divided amonc the other
States, in proportion to their magnitude, their
sacrifices, or exertions in the common cause.
The details only of the great measure now remain
to be fixed ; and if the same frankness and good
faith preside over the counsels of the Allied Mi-
nisters which have hitherto gulded theM, these
cannot occupy a long time. Accordingly, the
Duke of Richelieu expects tai be able to return
to Paris by the 15th inst. The Emperor of ins-
sia and King of Prussia will proceed in the course
of a fortnight from Ait-la-Chapelle, to review
their troops at Manbetige and Sedan. The former
has given up his intention of visiting Paris-till his
army is on its way out of France. The Emperor
of Austria returns about the same time (that is,
the 15th inst.) to Vienna ; so that this assem-
bly of Monarchs, this representative Majesty of
Europe, will have terminated in fifteen days
a business which has engaged speculation and ex-
cited anxiety for three ve:as ; and will thus have
sbown that the abouchements des Roil, with what-
ever jealousy they arc viewed, are useful, at l'east

LATEST FROM NEW ORLEANS.—The ship Sea
Fox, Fowler, of and for New York, sailed from
New Orleans the 4th instant, and the Balize. the
7th. Captains Cannon, Weatherstrand, Do: t. J.
W. King, end W. N. Harvey, came in the above
vessel, but left her on Saturday off Cape Henry,
and came up to this plate yesterday in a pilot,
boat. By these Gentlemen, the keeper of the
Steam-boat Hotel Reading-room Books has re-
ceived New Orleans Papers of the 3d and 4th inst.

These Gentlemen state that New Orleans was
mre,l►ealtby than ha►l been known at the same
settOiti for a number of years previous ; business,

however, was dull ; large number of vessels
were in the river, but laid up, as no freights
could be procured, the produce of the country
laving been all sbipped off: On their passage

don•n the river, spoke the schooner Commerce,
Williams, hence for New Orleans, who informed
them of the circumstance of his having been rob-
bed off the Berry Islands, of 72 negroes passed
also about 30 vessels all bound up, from
northern ports, and all having had rely long pas-
sages; one ship in particular, Capt. Bunker, had a
passage of 56 days from New York. Saw two
ships awl two brigs at the Balize, waiting a wind
to get in. Spoke on the lOth, off the Tortugas,
the brig Calypso, Boddilly, from Savannah boon('
to New Orleans, with slaves, out I 4 days; 27th,
off Charleston, bound to that port, a schooner
from Alexandria7--could not learn her name.
