BIBLE ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday evening the General_ Anniversary Meet.
ing of the St. CI meat's Danes, St. Mary.le-Strand,
and the Savny, Bible Association, was held at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern. The Rev. Mr. W.
GURNEY, Rector of St. Cement's, was in the Chair,
and stated the object of the Meeting, %hid', he briefly
laid, had connected with it the welfare of the soul as
well as the bodies of mcn ; and he had pleasure in
addressing them, for he considered they were as a
little family on tAr di, met together to tee what good
could be done, through the Bible Association, for the
souls of their fellow-creatures ; and he.was sum the
minds of his audience would be properly impressed,
while hr viewed in so Inge An assembly, not only
external mourning (for he was sure that was not
all), b. it in every countenance—in„all companies—,
was to be traced that sympathetic feeling which
recent circumstances wore so calculated to inspire.—
But, amidst. all our afflictions, under every sorrow, ,
there was in the Bible all that was calculated to do
us good in time, and make us happy in an eternal
world.—The Report was then read by Mi. Yoacir,
the Secretary, and seconded by the Rev. Dr. WIN.
which stated that £I4B. si. aid. had been re-
aired, and applied to the objects of the Association.
—The Rev. Dr. COLLYRR proposed a vote of Thanks
to the Rev. Wu. Gutmay, M.A. President, which
was carried unanimously.—The Hon. Lady Wasn't,
Patroness, and Mrs. GURNEY, President of t'%e L. 4.
dies' Association, the Rev. Wm. MORGAN, the Rev.
Dr. STAINKOPIPY, and the Rev. Mr. Isms, who is
just returned from witnessing the effects ut the Bible
Associations in Russia, spoke on the occasion—at the
close of which a collection was made.

Anther Cabinet Council WAS held at the Foreign
Office, on Wednesday, which met at two o'cic,clc,
and sat till lialf•past four. All the Cabinet Ministers,
except Earl MULORAVE, were present. Of the sub-
ject of these successive deliberations nothing certain
has yet disinspired ; but it may be presumed that they
have at length come to a determination 'spook, since

summonses were issued for the PIUNCS REORNT hold-
.ing a Court yesterday, at five o'clock, at the Pavi•
Jim, at Brighton, which most of the Cabinet Minis-
ters left town for the purpose of attending.

The Coacerdat between France and the Pope, to
which we had yesterday only time to advert very
briefly, is much more concise and distinct in Its dis-
positions, than might have been expected of a treaty
which bas been the result of so many long and varied
aegociations. On the 15th of J 017,1801. a Convex•
don was decreed between the French Government
and the Holy See. It was published as a law of the
State. On the Bth of April, 1802, two series of dis-
positions, intitled Organic Artie/et, were promulgated
to be observed as laws of the State. Oa the 24th of
May following. the Pot; in an Address pronounced
in Secret Coosittory, declared, that having perceived•
that with the Coneutdat ware published soma At
ticles not recogiked by him. he should be compelled
to demand of the Preach Goverotnent some suitable
and necessary changes. Discussions were then
opened between the two rowers, and prolonged
without coming to any result. The misunderstand.

togs between the Pura and the French Government
multiplied we shall not here retrace their progress.
In the year 1808, the Pore refused to the Bishops
of France the extraordinary power which be had
previously acknowledged. difficulties were raised re-
specting the form of Canonical Institutioas, and the
events of 1809 produced an open rupture.
On the 13th of February, ISIS, a pretended Coe-
cordat, signed at Fontainbleau, was inserted in the
Beath. der Lei:, and published as a law of the State,
in an unusual manner. The Pope protested against
this puhlication. and considered himself as freed from
all the engagements that be bad contracted with the
Government then *listing!. Such was the state of
things whets the King ream:ended the thtone of his
ancestors. AU the relations between France and the
Head of the Church were suspended. The succes-
sion of Bishops was interrupted—the Churches were
without Pastors—the Priesthood was dividectt—the
People were without the benefits of religi•us instruc-
tions. The evils that *Sicced the Church threatened
the State. To prevent one, and terminate the other,
the King commenced negociations with Rome; and
the Convention concluded on the I lth'of June last be.
tweet the Holy &a and the King has been the result.
—The Canonical Institution of the Bishops was the
essential point of conference with the Holy See, for
there was in France a great number of Bishopricbs
vacant and Cherches suffering. The right of inter-
fering in the nomination of Bishops was one which
the &WO conceived be possessed in quality of Su-
preme Head, in order to assure himself that functions
so important .as those attached to a Bishop should
not be delivered over to foreigners and enemies to
the Constitution. On the other side, the Pore, by
general.discipline of the Catholic Church, pos.
beyond dispute the right of iovesting the
Bishops when nominated ; but these two rights being
exercised in concert, it became necessary that the
two Posen should agree to use their mitual.prero.
goitres with advantage.
The maw accordingly, in which the present Con.
cordathas settled the exercise of sheer prerogatives,
will be sees from the following abstract of the Pryer
de Lei which has been submitted to the Chamber fur
the purpose of carrying the Concordat into effect :

" Alt• 1, Coikeensbly to dos Canonhe speed epee between
Francis 1. too X. tke Kier also., by *tee 01 the Mersin
rights of threrowe, Swims to the Archbi!hoptke sod Mabry-
ries thrusbole the ittegrium. TM Mishaps sad Archbishop

'shall obtain from the Pope canonical institution :evading Ifs
the accaemened forms.
" 2. The Concordat of 15th July, 11101, reuses to have effect,
with the exception of Art. as, which continues in force.

" S. Seven new Archiepiscopal Sees, mid thirty-nine new
Bishoprics, are to be established.
" Two of the present Episcopal Sees to become Arebbishnprics.
" 4. The endowments of the Archbishops and Bishops to be
taken from the funds placed at the disposal of the King, by Art
143 of the Law of :be 25th March last.

" S. Bulls, Briefs, Decrees, and other Acts emanating from the
ICourt of Rome, or Issued under its authority (except indult% of
'penitentiary in certain cases), not to be reviewed, printed, pub-
lished, or carried Into effect in the kingdom, without the apt •
dat authority of the King.
" 6. Acts concerning the universal church, or general interests
of the state or church of France, their laws, administration, or
doctrine, and which might render necessary, or induce• any tun-
difications in the existirg legislation, not to be received, primed,
published, or carried into effect in France, until after having bren
duly verified by the two Chambers, on the proposition of the King,
" 7. Such acts to be Inserted in the Bulletin of Lasts, with
the Law or Ordonnance authorizing their publication.
" d Cases of abuse to be carried direct before the Royal Courts.
46 P. Regulates proceedings against persons in Holy Orders.
" in. •1 he Bulls published at Rome the 19th and 27th July,
respecting the Concordat, maybe published without approbation.
" li. Such publication not to be to the prejudice of the dis-
positions of the present law, or the rights and liberties of the
Gailican Church."

A Lisbon Mail has arrived to-day, but brings no
intelligence of the least importance.

Advises have been received in town that a Russian
force has taken possession of one of the Sandwich
Islands. The particulars we have not yet learnt.—
WM England tacitly allow Russia to make a pro.
petty of all or any of those Islands discovered by the
enterprise of our gallant countryman, Captain COOK

We this day publish further particulars relatirg to
the Independent cause in Venezuela, from which it

will appear that General BOLIVAR, after regulating
all the affairs of the two Guayanss, was on the eve of
proceeding on to the Atlantic coast with a consi4e-
cable army,' in order to form a junction with the
other Chiefs acting in a demi-circle round Caraccas.

From Gibraltar we have received letters of the
.10th instant, which state, that the Algerine Plague
squadron had made its appearance in the Bay, but
was not permitted to anchor within reach of the
guns of the fortress, and that a guard ship had
been dispatched, to keep is at a proper distance.
The rock continues very healthy—abundant showers
of rain having fallen rather earlier than usual, and
been succeeded by a course of very fine weather.—
All apprehensions of fever had subsided ; the en-
campments had been broken up, and the troops had
returned in high spirits into their respective barracks.
Part of the 95th Regiment arrived from Malta, in
the Isabella transport, on the 4th inst. but, being put
under•quarantine, had not landed at the date of our
letteu.
