We have never approached the question denominated
_Catholic Emancipation, without feelings of the deepest
awe, being unable to efface from our imagination an
involuntary idea that it is destined, in no very distant
time, to be the watch-word of a party who meditate
the dismemberment and ruin of this peat and power-
ful Empire. That the conscientious follnvrers of the
Roman Church (however tainted with grovelling super-
stitioa the doctrines of that Church may in the eyes of
others appear), should be treated with unlimited kind-
MS and Ferfect tolerati ,n, we are am•mg the foremost to
affirm. That every mark of freedom, respect, and dignity
which can elevate them, or their religion, in their own
estimation, but confer no power on their blinded zealots,
to disturb the happiness of others, should bs conceded
null an unsparing hand, me are also willing to allow.
Above all, we reprobate and utterly detest the practice
of treating with scurrility and ridicule any of the rites
and ceremonies of their Church, which they esteem
holy, though we may consider them, in some respects,
idalatrons, and in many others, weak and unnecessary
works of supererogation, founded on the occasional
precepts of fi ail and erring men, and unsanctioned
by the doctrine or practice of the DIVINE AUTHOR
of Christianity, or his inspired missionaries. But
our warfare is directed against those who, under
the mask of Religion, strive to erect a " Kingdom which
is of this world ;"—who, Leping their poor and ig-
norant followers in slavish superstition, have tendered
them the willing and ready instruments of their own
ambition ; and who now array those, their vassals,
against the lives and properties of their fellow-subjects,
in order to extort unconditionally by terror, that which,
if ever it is to be conceded, must flow ftom the cautious
dictates of sober :ease.) and public policy; accompa-
nied, m 'mover, by such safeguards and reasonable
guarantees, as shall enable their Protestant Brethren
to rest quiet in the undisturbed possession of that
civil and religious liberty, far which, scarcely a century
ago, their fathers contended against the blin:ed vo-
taries of that very same herarchy which now seeks to
raise its intolerant head once more in the land. We can
most willingly venerate and respect sincere piety and
religion, in whatever form it is displayed; but we can-
not see the str.mg resemblances of treason in the bud
without calling on our countrymen to beware of the
bitter harvest which is approaching.
The Etoile, the favoured paper of the French Court,
has published a series of scurrilous and bitter reflec-
tions against the Director-General of the Roman Catholic
worship in the Netherlands, and this merely because
the Government of that country have superadded a
system of human learning and science to the ancient
narrow bigotry of the cloister. The same Journal ar-
raigns the KING and his eldest son, the Prince of
ORANGE, in direct terms—and because the latter is the

Grand Master of the Freemasons, a most harmless and
benevolent Society, the senseless cry of the fanatics of
Spain is now raised by this foreigner among those of his
persuasion in the Netherlands, who ate told that their
religicn is attacked from the se.ret conclave, of Free•
masonry—thus evidently sapping the foundations of the
Throne itself.

Now this very Paper, because of those audacious
slanders, is, with great pomposity, and all possible pub-
licity, eulogised by the New Association in Dublin, and
by them ordered to form part of their official archives
in future.

Again, in the STAR of the 19th September, our
Readers will have seen the Report of a Meeting held at
New York on the 12th July, under the presidency of
lone of the Judges of the United States, which formed
itself into a Society for the express purpose of support-
ing the Roman Catholic People of Ireland by foreign
aid," and by awakening the sympathies of Europe in their
favour."

In commenting on this Nleeing we expressed our sin-
cere hopes " that the Leaders of the Catholic ute in
Ireland would at once reject their alliance with con-
tempt and disdain."
Whether they have done so, let our Readers judge
for themselves, by the following extract from their offi-
cial organ, the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday :

" The Times may believe, and verily believe, what they like.
They may, is their thoughtless moments, insult six millions of
the King's subjects, occupying a country where there are not

eight millions of inhabitants—but we can tell the Tinges, that
the mind of this country is not dismayed—the bigotry to which
the Times so forcibly appeals, will not dare to take the hint.—
Not for the Rum's diadem would England however, though
her worst passions may be inflamed by the vilest efforts of a
speculating Press, dare to revive one single letter of the Penal Laws.
We treat with the most scornful contempt the threat which is
thus held out, whilst we dare the bigotry of England—and we hope
that those who have the firmness to adhere to the ' religion of our
forefathers,' will proceed in their course, appealing to the common
sense, to the common charities, and to the manly feeling of the age.
That appeal must not be confined within the narrow limits of what
is called Great Britain—it must be made to the sympathy of

surrounding nations, to the subjects of Europe, and to the Repub-
lican States of America."

From the concluding lines of this paragraph, it is easy
to prognosticate the nature of that appeal which is thus
proposed to be made to the manly feeling of Me age, in
correspondence with the plans of traitorous exiles, who,
driven horn Ireland, sought refuge in America.
We are well aware of the old practice so often here-
tofore resorted to by the champions of emancipation,
of making common cause with their leaders until
some one of them prematurely displayed designs
which startled the sober-minded in this ccuntry, and
then they have immediately disowned him.
But we would request our countrymen to ponder on
the probable views of those who unite in councils where
such maxims and conduct as we have faithfully re-
ported, are tolerated for a single moment.

This forenoon we received the French Papers of
Thursday, and the Dale of yesterday by expre.s. The
latter, in a postscript, contains an account of the
address of the new French Ambassador, the Marquis
DE MOUSTIER, to the King of SPAIN.
The Ambassador states, that he is charged to renew
to FERDINAND VII. the assurances of those sentiments of
friendship and affection with which his master, the
King of FRANCE, is animated, of the prayers he ad-
dresses to heaven for the gins y and prosperity of the
reign of his Spanish Maaesrv.
The Marquis Da MOUSTIER was received with great
kindness by the KING and the Royal Family of Sotin.
The same paper, alluding to the landing of a
French Admiral at Syra, and s. izing the Eparch and
carrying him to Napoli di Romania, states, that it was
in consequence of the latter having wronged the
French Consul, and the C iefs having denied him
justice. The Eparch has since been restored to
his office.

The United States Commodore ReGEns, is said to
be much dissatisfied with the refusal of the Ottoman
Porte tw admit American vessels to the navigation of
the Bosphorus, and has sent a threatening letter to the
Reis Effendi.

Accounts from Naples of the 26th ult. state that a
Commissioner from the United States had landed tl:ere,
to claim the reimbursement for the confiscation of the
property of America% subjects, during the military oc-
cupation cf that country, but that little progress had
been made in the negociation. An English frigate had
anchored in the Bay of Naples, alongside the Revenge
ship of the line.
In the rpght of the 22d of October, Civita Vecchia
was the scene of a dreadful hurricane, such as the oldest
sailors had never witnessed; it lasted two hours, and
threatened the whole town and port with destruction ;
houses were thrown down, and 'vessels driven from
their moorings on the shore.

By the arrival of a Buenos Ayres Mail, we have
received the Argus to the Bth of September, con-
taming an account of some insurrectionary movements
in► Chile, excited, k appears. by a priest. The following
are num' :
