We have this day given at some length the
speeches of the Movers of the Resolutions at Glas-
er in favour of the persecuted Protestants of France.
We cannot, however, pass them over without re..
'ling that no dispassionate peis.sa can read them
%wo perceiving bow completely they answer the
staints of those who, indirectly at least, attempt
okay the enormities that have been transacted in
ranee, on the pretext of its being a loyal reaction •of
adherents of the Bouttsoes against the BONA-
sue,—.11 if, forsooth, the French Revolution
.peen brought about by Protestants—as if Louts
vi, had beta pin to death by Protestants—the
ineeiae put in recviisition by Protestants--Italy, the
glands, Switzerland, Germany overrun, robbed,
Nutted, and deluged with blood by French Protes-

thole on the reasoning that would lead to
eset.lesioes.

rhearnment of Dr• DICK is as completely op-
boleti tolhe letter of the Duke of WELLINGTON as if.

r—
ite bid meant directly to reply to its statements. In
Net, the letter alluded to, so far from answering the

for which it was published, will have a con-

ine .
wr----
ray Jed upon 411 goo'd men. The higher the pro.
action afforded to persecutors—the more powert a
he individuals who Would palliate their enormities
mem them from censure and punishment, the more
petiOUS will the call be felt to step forward in de-
uce of the oppressed, the injured, and the helpless.
Duk, as we remarked in a 101 titer Paper, should
Sae himself to the profession in which be has no

/ropetitor—he should not c An mit a well-earned 1 ant.!
y meddling with a topic on which he has shewn
beelf so miserably incompetent. We► must quote

a portion of his letter, to ask these who undcr-

ed English whether it be even grammatical—,, It is
total thAt there should be 'joie nt contests in a coun-
is which the people are di% ided, not only by a
Terence of religion, but likewi.se by a diffcience of
itical opinion, And th4t the religion nt every indi.
eel is in general the sign of the !soli, ic.ll party

terestond ot weakness in the Governme,,t on ccoull t

emitted by individuals of tht..morenumerous preplan

to some men, but are the Prottge ants of
in thence to infer that it is necessary and pro-

erefore be suffered to perpetrate them with impu-

at Public will draw from it the most 'concla-
