PAPAL AUTHORITY IN MEXICO.

•
The
t report
iof two united Committee; (las Commis-
sicoes
be given to the Mexican Envoy at Rome, was read in
a secret sitting of the. Senate on the 2,1 of March, and
ordered to be printed. This important document,
which was drawn np by an eminent ecclesiastic, Padre
Mier, commences by adverting to some proceedings on
the same subject in the Chamber of Deputies with
which the Committees of the Senate do net concur, be-
cause that assembly, though holding the same opinion
as the Committees, appeared "to consider it necessary
to compromise with the pretensions of the Court of
Rome." At the same time, the Report expresses a hope
that the present Pope will yield to the wishes of the
Mexican Church, in spite of the Court, " which has
always been inclined to subject the Popes to its ca-
prices." To the opposition made by the Curia, or Court
of Rome, to every kind of reform, the Report atti ibutes
all the evils which have befallen the Church. Even the
persecution of the Cdttiolic religion during the French
Revolution is stated to have been occasioned by " the
obstinate resistance made to the reforms decreed by the
Constituent Assembly." Patronage is declared to be-
long to the nation, and the assumption of it to be an
infringement of the rights of the people. Among those
rights, that most essential to the government of the'
Churches is stated to be the election of their own. Pastors.
and the confirmation of those Pastors by their respec-
tive metropolitans, without waiting. for the Papal con-
firmation. The Report also enters into the question of
the supremacy claimed by the Bishop of Rome over
other Bishops, :hews from Scripture and history that
the Apostles were all placed by their DIVINZ MASTYR
on so equal footing, and that therefore the Pope can
claim no superiority as the successor of St. Peter. All
that the Committees seem. willing to concede to his
Holiness is, the dignity, almost merely nominal, of

Bills to a large amount, drawn from South America
on the various Mining Associations in this country, have
lately been returned without acceptance. Besides the
actual loss on the amount of such bills, 4 charge of 25
per cent. is incurred on all bills returned to Sloth
America, which the parties there must likewise pay.
It appears by the accounts from Alexandria, that
Egypt is precisely in that state which might be expected
from the unenlightened. policy of the PACHA. The
products of the country, exported last year, fall short of
those in the preceding year by about one half. To this
the scanty over flow of the Nile has in Nut contributed ;
and it is believed, in consequence of this, that the cotton
'crop will also fall short one half of that of the preceding
year. All these causes are likely to produce a con-
siderable defalcatinn in the revenues of the PActiA, and.
it is believed that his views respecting the Morea have
undergone, from all these circum:tabees. a •e, y con-
siderable change. The assistance which he will lend in
tuture will probably be confined to A hew detachments
of irregular Turkish militia.

tion from Sir George Quentin, informing him that four valuable

'Green Perk, St. James's, beksoging to different persons of rank:
Sir George requested the assistance of the Police under the orders
of Sir Richard, to discover the robbers..
Sir RIICHAIIID observed, that it was strange indeed that the cows
should have been taken out of the Park, without their befog ob-
served by the keepers; but, said the worthy Magistrate, they attend
more to the .sale of curds and whey, than to the property under
their rare. He directed bills to be ciecolated,dosertbing deo cows,
and gave orders to the oaken to use every means to discover bow
the robbery wits effected.

and yesterday two foreigners, named Torre•Poola and Louis kw,
the former an Italian Officer, but at present an emigrant in this
country, and the latter in the service of WNW Arnold, of the 10th
Hussars, appeared-before D. W. Gaseous% Esq. ~e resident Ma-
gistrate, to answer the complaint of W. J. MiChirry, Esq. the 'fres-
surer of the Kings Theatre, for tendering forged admission orders
on Saturday night. •
1 The defendants not knowing the English language, were exa-
mined through the medium. of an interpreter.
The statement of Louis Sogne went to prove that he resided in
Curenn street, May Fair, with Colonel Arnold, an Officer in the
10th Hussars. On Saturday evening he went to the King's Theatre.
and tendered the ticket now produced for admission into the Gil-
kry ; he bad written his name upon the back of it in the presence
of Torre Paolo. his friend, who gave it him only a few minutes be-
fore, and be (Smit) did not • purchase it; and when he presented
the order it was between seven and eight o'clock. - This statetherit
was deemed excuipaterf of his intention to cheat the Proprietor of
the Theatre, and be reproached his friend Paolo forgetting hinunuo
such an alarniing serape.
Torre Paolo now stated in explanation, that he received the -or-
ders from another friend, also an emigrant, sensed Bissau, just be-
fore he gave one to Snipe; and that Mason gave it to him under the
Burlington Arcade. That Gentleman was living in Pritice s-street,
Leiernee-square, -very next the house frequented by foreigner.,
calla the itesthuratenr's.

• W. J. !Marry, Hag. the Treasurer, stated, that in consequence
of an imindation of admissions into the theatre he harks:vas lour tlc•
dens to watch thoes,wbo offered them, to ascertain whether they
were correct or not; and OD Saturday evening he WOS on dap/
there, and happened to be at the gallery door, when the defeodia.
Sogne cattle up and preseited a forged order for his adoaissiot.,
which order he marked so as to identify the fact. .„Nobody bit
himself was in the habit of giving soak orders at any tinsettuatket
had he deputed that privilege to any person under his cantro.d.;,-
Tbe admissions now predated were decidedly not his handwrittil,,
but entirely. false. . .
Mr. Gaseous, who took considerable pains while lovestigatin
this ease, seemed to think it an entirety new one; but
.he observed,'
at the same time, that he should interfere with great piraoure..lt he
'believed that such interference could be useful in its premosstage.
Sisson, however, the person from whom the orders seem-d to
have been
ant obtained, not being present; rogue and Paolo were.
allowed to retire, on coodition of appearing on any future -day in
tinier to be confronted With their absent friend.
