sential difference either on points; a Religious
Faith or in the Forms of Worship, in Ecclesias-
tical Discipline or Church Govhnirrerit, ailed that
with respect to their Civil Allegiance; they' ab-
solutely identify themselves with their Protestant:
Brethren. I crust that the observations, which
So hare-faced and insulting a fidation of History

„called forth in my last Letter,.will, at
least, answer the purpbse for which they were in-.
tended ; that is, to' invite• the attention of every

deration of the sohject) and a calm,• rational re-
ference to the History of the Rnmanists in their
religious and 'political relations, .fiotu the .period
of the Reformation 'to the present hour, No
other confutation is necessary. If, however, they
were themselves deceived into a conviction of
this approxima,tion of principles upon questions
of Faith and Discipline, and of their identity upon
Civil Allegianceif they really believed what
they would thus have -us believe—how will they
defend their own pertinaciousness in Withholding
any,. the most trifling sacrifice to their Protestant
Brethren in proof of their assertion ?• ,pro-
portion as the two systems. approximate, the
points 'of difference are of course diminished,
both in number and magnitude, and, consequently
the surrender of them iu favostilloof a. great and
important National Measure is the less objection-
able. 'We Protestants, it is true, do not perceive
this close intimacy---nor can we (be it from pre-
judice or frOns -a different
.process: of, reasoning)
infer. any thing short of a complete and • perfect
dissonaqe, in principle and practice, between the
t‘vo systems of. Protestantism and Romonism ;
butlf 'the adherent's of the 'latter are -really'
satisfied upon this bead; which they thus so-
lemnly profess themselves to be, hore can they,
iu common justice, call upon us •to surrender
every point, to make every concession for the at-
tainment of an object by which THEY only are
to be benefited—and for"which they resolve and
piiblickly and solemnly yew-they will make neither
sacrifice nor concession—no, not even to the surrender
of FORM !—lf the platter even rested on equal
grounds,--and were viewed as mutually heneficii.l

Treaty between two separate Empires or Powers,
no basis could in either case be established (ex
cept under circumstances of acknowledged infe-
riority or subjugation, and consequent humilia-
tion),, which should require concession wholly
and exclusively from one of the Contracting Par,
ties—and yet, as the qnestion now stands, these'
Romanists; after having benefited by a series of
concessions,.for which neither equivalent, nor sa-

that can be yielded, demand furs the Protestants

DISTRESSED SEAMEN.

A Correspondent.' iiho has visited- the Drome-
dary, the ship apprOpriatell for the reception of the
sick among the poor fellows lately rescued by
public bounty front Cite street!, informs us, that
there is now on-board of that vessel, in a state of
health, a young Negro Woman; who, in the
attire of a man, was received bythe Committee
of ManageMent, among other -objects. of distress,
without being aware of- het' sex. The secret,
however, has since ttanspired, and the Coth-
mittee are now acquainted_ with it. She passes
by the name of Smith, seems about 2$ years' of
age, and is said to have served fourteen vests 'at
sea, performing the most active duties of a sea-
man, eight of which were passed in .one of his
Majesty's shipi ; her colour and feattires are those
of the perfect. Neg,ro,her figure rather slight, and
'her voice 'so feminine that it is somewhat sur-
prising she was not discovered before. We sin-
cerely hope that'some of the humane Gentlemen
of the Committee, so active in alleviating the
sufferings of the men, will extend their regard to
this enterprising female, and provide for her in
some manner more suitable to her se/ ; the first
step to thi-, desirable object will be to remove her
from the society of so 'many men.
It appears. that there• has been considerable
sickness among these poor fellows, and several
deaths, about fourteen,: we believe ; it is proper,
however, to observe, that a few came.on board
from the shore when nearly past recovery. Th e prin-
&pal diseases are' slight IfeverS, (not, however, of
the contagious class) colds, and some -sloughing
ulcers ; . when convalescent they are jnilicionly-
removed lo another vessel • (Perseus) not far diS-
taw ; and when coMpletely recovered, retitmi-(1
to the other ships, where employMent is provided
for Ahem.'

'rife number of sick, of one time only, has
amounted to 170; the Subscription had
no other good effect, it is highly gratifying to the
humane mind, that so many of our brave defend,
ers should haVe been provided with .111 e best. Mc-
dical attendance. Dr. Robertson, the. supeTin-
fending Surgeon, pays unremitting attention to
their. comforts and treatment ; and Mr. Pollock,
the resident Surgeon, with the most prtriseworthy
zeal, deVotes nearly ten hours daily o the diligent
inspection and care of thepoor sufTerers.confided
to his charge. The humanity- of Mr. Griffiths,
ASsistant-Surgeon, •is also conspicuous. The
cOmforts of the ship; otherwise areas great as can
be expected in
.a vessel not Rreviondy pre'pared
loran Hospital ; and the Officers of Ciovernment
at. Deptford have done every thing in their. power
to forward the views of the Committee and of the
Medical Men in charge.

AUTHENTIC COPT 14 THE REPORT OF TIIE LORDS

SECHE CO'AIMITTEE.

By the LORDs"Coixlmrr-rcEs appointed a Secret
'Cornmittoe to eximilie into the Matter of the
Papers .presetieed to this House, in a Sealed
_Bag, I,y the cumin:lt'd of his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT, and to report ti, the
310use,-as thug shall see Cause ; and to whom
were referred additional Papeq,,(s.P.aled tip),
alto presented to the House
,by -the command
'of his Royal Highness the-PRINct REGENT :
ORDEEED REPuItT,
Thit the Committee have iiroceeded td exa-
mine the Papers so referred to them.

In execution of this duty they, have proceeded,
in the first place, to consider such of the said Pa-
pers as contained information as to the state of
• those parts of England in which the eitcomstances
`detailed in the two Reports of the furmerCom-'
- mit'tees appear to have arisen.
In the last of those Reports, presented to ?he
Howe on• the 12th of June last, it wai'represent-
ed that the period of a general rising, of which
the intention and object were stated in the Re-
portS,.appenred to have been fixed for as early a
day as possible after the disenssioris of an ekpectecl
- Motion for Reform in Parliament that Notting-
ham appeared to. have been intended as the head--
. -quarters, upon which a part of the Insurgents
were to march in the first instance and that they
expected to be joined there, and on their march
• towards London, by other bodies, with such arms
as they might have alteady provided, or mig,ht
procure by force Irons private houses, or from the
different dep6ts or barracks, of which the attack •
was proposed. That conturrent information from
many quarters confirmed the expectation of a ge-
neral rising about the time above mentioned, but
that it 'teas subsequently postponed to the 9th or
10th of June, for which vat ioni,reasons hail been
assigned. The Report added, that the latest in-
telligence from those quarters hail niade it highly
probable that the same causes which had at that
time thwarted the execution of those desperate,
d,:signs; viz.. the vigilance of the Government, the
great activity and'intelligence of the Magistrates,
the ready assistance afforded under their orders
by the regular troops and yeomanry, the prompt
and efficient arrangements of the officers encrusted
svith that service, the knowledge which had from
time to time been obtained of the plans of the
Oisaffected, and the contegnent art tist and con-
finement of the leading agitators, would occasion
A still further postponement of their atrocious
plans.*

It now appears, that in the night of the oth of
June last, a rising took place in Derbyshire,
headed by a person who •went for that pmpose
from Nottineham, and was therefore called " the
Nottingham Captain.'' The lusurgen:s were not
formidable for their numbers, but they were ac-
tuated by an atrocious spirit. Several .of them
had fire-arms, otheri had pikes previously prepared
for.the purpose; and as they atheenced towards
Nottingham, they plundered. several
.honsee of,
• arms, and in one instance a minder was rot-emit-
ted. They compelled some persons to join tbem,
.and endeavoured to compel others by threats of
• violence, and- particolarly by the terror of the
murder which had been Cc Min etl;. and teey
proposed to reach Nottingham early in the morn-
ing of the 10th of June, a4.d to surprize the mili-
tary in their barracks ; hoping thus to become
masters of the town, and to be joined by consi•
derable numbers there, and .by a party which
they expected would be assembled in Nottingham
forest, and which actually did assemble at that
place, as after stated. The disposition to plun-
der, the resistance they met with, and other cir-
cumstances, so delayed their march, that they had
not arrived near the place of destination at a late
hour in the 'Doming ; and the country being
alarnnd, a military force was assembled to oppose
them,
-The language used by many persons engaged in
this enterprise, and particularly by their leaders,
leaves no room to doubt that their °V cts were
the overthrow of the established Government and
laws; extravagant as those objects were, when
compared with the inadequate means which they
possessed. lo the course of their march, nrany
of their body Mt alarmed at the atrocious projects
in which they had engaged, which had actually
test to a cruel and deliberate murder ; they found
that their confederates had not arrived to their
support, 'as they had been led to -expect ; and in
the villages through which they passed, a strong
indisposition being manifested towards their carise
and projects, some of them threw away their
pikes and retired, before the military force ap-
peared ; And on the first
.show of that force the
rest dispersed, their leeiders attempting in vain to
rally them, many_ of them were taken prisoners,
and many guns and pikes were seized.. •
This insetrrection, of small importance iu
self, is •a subject of material cousideretioo, as it
was manifestly in consequence of measures detail-
ed in Ole two Reports above mentioned,‘ and ap-
pears in have been a I s,-t of the general rising
proposed to take effect on the 9:h or 10th ut June,
as stated in the last of-those Reports. •
• At the Assizes at Derby, in the month of July
following, the Grand .fury found hills of indict-
' illellt for high treason against 45 of the persons
charged. with having -been engaged in this insur-
rection ; and several of those persons having been
- taken, were artaigned upon the iudietinent before
a Special Commission issued for that purpose,
which sat a't Derby in the month of October fol-
lowing. polar of the yr iDcipai offenders were se-
parately tried and convicted ; three of them were
executed, and the capital punistimeot of the
fourth teas remitted on condition of transporta-
tion. The conviction of these four induced nine-
teen of the other persons indicted, whoSe conduct
had been deemed in the next degree most crimi-
nal, to withdraw their pleas of not guilty, and to
plead guilty to the indictment, its hopes of thus
avoiding a capital punishment ; and the sentence
of death on these persons wa-s afterwards remit-
ted, on. different conditions. Against all. the other
persons indicted who were in custody, the Law
Office' s of the {Crown declined producing any evi-
dence, and. th iv were accordingly acqu;tted. Tltc,
