the Grand Dated Tawas; the Bing of Saannsta, and the Ins
peror of Aurrau, to say nothing of the Arra himself,. choose to
employs Prytestant in any department of the State, their choke is
i not restrained by any penal laws; and that they do employ. ?re
tenants is perfectly clear, there being many regiments of •Bwiss
troops in their service, who are not restricted, in the recruits they
raise, to the Catholic Cantons of Switzerland. It may be further
observed, that in the Austrian army some of the finest regiments
are raised in Hungary, where two thirds of the inhabitants are
Protestants."

Now really, with ill deference to the Noble Lord,
this appears rather too wise. In order to point out the
illiberality of the British Government in not conceding
further power to Roman Catholics, be adduces proofs
of the freedom vouchsafed by Foreign States to Papist s
And what does this liberty, so lauded, amount to ?
Simply and solely that Roman Catholics may serve as
soldiers, and fight the battles of their masters. Ye•
what is the extent of this freedom, compared to what
Papists enjoy in Ireland? Let the treasonable speeches
of their Associators answer. Let the Priestly Demo-
crats, who guile and rule them, vindicate the Consti.
tution from the reproach which is implied. But as to
the point of illiberality being imputable to a Protestant
State for not ceding to Roman Catholics power, does
the Earl of Haarawicxe !mow, that JOHN JAMMU
Rousseau thought that they ought not to have it in
Geneva, and that Lord BOLINGBROKE was of the same
opinion with regard to England ?
We hope that the Infidel Lora and the Republican
Deist are sufficiently strong authorities on the Liberal
side against the doctrine of Roman Catholics being fit
to enjoy power in a Protestant State.
The Noble Earl continues—

44 So much for the first part of your paragraph. With respect
to the other, which is the most important of it,' that a Protestant
is even prohibited from worshipping his MAZES according to the
dictates of his conscience,' it is sufficient to say, that for several
years past an English chapel has been established at Rome. where
get vice is performed twice on every Sunday during seven months
of the year, vie from November tin May, according to the usage
of the March of England; and that on the great Festivals of
Christmas and Easter, and also Good Friday, as well as one other
Sunday between Christmas and Easter, the Sacrament is adminis-
tered to a numerous congregation of Briti-h subjects."

Now, in contradicti•.n to the passage, " that for se-
veral pears past an English Chapel has been established
at Rome," we beg to quote the authority or Sir ROBERT
INGLIS, who, in one of the most convincing and argu-
mentative and learned spreches ever delivered on the
Roman Catholic question, says, " Though the English
were connived at when they went to the drawing-room
of one of their own countrymen, to have under his root
the comfort and advantage, on Sundays. rd their own
Church Services they were not permitted to have it—
and when they wished to have a regular Chapel, the
permission was dis inctly refused. The worship of the
Egg,lish Protestants at Rome was thus net only not
licensed, but teas, ap to that time, declared unfit to be
even tolerated."—Me/a Npeeches p. 36.
Who that loves poetry can fort t the lamentations
of Yourro in his Ai,;ht thoughts, when he had not only
to mourn the bereavement ut his daughter, bat that
she was hot permitted the sepulture with which• even
dugs are honoured.

While nature melted, superstition raid,
That mourn'd the dead, and shit denied a grave,
Deny'd the charity of dot to spread
O'er dust—a charity, their doge enjoy."

Yet NARCIAIA died in Fiance. where the Galilean
liberties tint. which remove Popery one step from
Heathenism; or rather. peihapt, we should say, these
privileges attract the Church of Rome to a neater re-
semblance with the Reformed Churches.

But it is vain to exhibit Foods, *bids all men know
are unnecessary, to convict the Chinch of Rome of the
most unmitigated bigotry. The semblance of a change
in het dark opinions stray be assumed. At the present
moment fresh colours n.ay everlsy the dark picture
of her history. The Court f Rome may find much
advantaLe in let new dress of conciliation. Ireland is
to be made free, and cannot shake off her chains, unlesi
t' e Liberals in England have the power of representing
the krowing spirit of changing doctrines in the Church
or !time. Therefore we do not doubt that the Earl of
HAKDWICKZ w.itieSied what he describes. But, we ask,
is this liberality in the Church of Rome in accordance
with her doctrines and her decrees? Why, even in
America, whose name is the echo of freedom in the
ems of Liberals, even in America a V.car Apostol c
'appears by some Papers laid before the House of Com-
m ns in 1814, "to have pusherf matters so far, as to
have the dead bodies of some English soldiers taken up,
bec4use heretics should not be interred in consecrated
ground."

The Paris Papers which are iced last night are
chiefly occupied with internal affairs. The Foreign
news contain no feature of importance. Some negocia-
tions are stated to be going on between the United
Stales and the Porte for the possession, it is supposed,
of one or more of the Islands in the Levant; and an es-
pectalion appears to be entertained that a North Ame-
rican squadron will appear in the Archipelago neat,
Spring. These Papers announce the departure of Mr.
TRATWORD CANNING from Porn. to Naples.

By the Flanders Mail we have received the Algenteine
Zeitumg to the 16th inst. and Brussels Papers of yester-
day's date. The former contains a long account of the
capture of several Austrian vessels on their voyage to
the Dardanelles by the Greek cruizers, and the means
adopted by the Admiral DA NDOLO for aeir restitution
According to accounts from Varna the works of that
' fortress, ohich had suffered so much from the bom-
bardment of the Russians previous to its capture, had
been completely restored, and the place more strongly
fortified than it had been while in possession of the
Tusks. The ftillowinc ate extracts: •
