This morning, despatches were received at the Foreign
Office from Lord Cow lAN., at Vienna; and from Lord
ST VA KT DE ROTIIBAY, at,Paris.

In the afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the
Foreign Office, at which all the Members at present in
town attended.

After nearly a month's silence, E. E. the corres-
pondent of the Times,—whom we designated as an
ultra-royalist, and partisan of M. de Pomo Ac,—
has put forth another letter. If the assertions we
made when replying to his former communications,
needed any additional confirmation, they will be
found there. Nothing is easier for this writer,
than to persist that he has no connection with the
French Cabinet, nor with M. DE POEIGNAC. A denial
like this is precisely what we were prepared to expect.
But admitting to this extent the disavowal of E. E. will
he deny that the object of his letters is to prove that the
KING is determined to persevere in the " system for
which Prince PoLtas nc and his colleagues have been
called into office?" Without entering further into an
examination of the argument by which the justice
of this resolution is defended, we cannot refrain
from saying, that one more opposed to the inte-
rests of the reigning family could not be adopted;
and we again warn the advisers of Ca Aa Les X. topause,
before they sever the last tie which binds that monarch to
the nation. _ _

As to the attempted conciliation of the army by the
ordinance of M. uE Boy It MONT, while such obstinacy
prevails against the loudly expressed and universal
opinion of the country, we are convinced that it will prove
a failure. The great majority of the French military, and
its most popular generals, are warmly attached to freedom,
anU by no means disposed to make common cause with the
Court against the people. The measure of the obnoxious
Minister is therefore more likely to augment an already
excited jealousy, since its object is so self-evident. Upon
the whole, we cannot help looking forward with in-
tense anxiety to the approaching struggle. That a very
violent one will arise out of the late transactions, we do
not entertain a doubt.

We have been told, that it has lately been asserted of
the STAR—by more than one individual—when speaking
of its principles, that it is Atrri-Cattiottc. It is ne-
cessary that we should notice this, in order that those
persons who do us the honour to sit in judgment upon our
principles in society, may not disparage them through
misapprehension of their nature. If we should ask the
utterer of this assertion what it is that they intend by
the term " Anti-Catholic," we believe that they would be
puzzled to define it. We will, however, instead of pur-
suing this course, tell them what we are, with reference
to the question of CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION—OA well
retrospectively as prospectively : which, we consider,
will be a much handsomer proceeding towards them,
than pressing so perplexing an interrogatory.
. In us, then—retrospectively—they will find the steady
and consistent advocates of that great and necessary
measure, by which the Catholic was released from an
ignominious bondage, and made participant in many
civil rights and eligibilities from which—by a law once
justified, but long since degenerated into injustice and
abuse—he had hitherto been unwisely excluded. He
seemed to walk about—like a branded felon among
the pure—with the scar of his political degradation
burned deep into him. He was like an excrescence upon
the State ; a wart, disfiguring its constitutional beauty !
till, to recover so much proud flesh to healthiness, be-
came at last indispeneible to the salvation of the whole
body. It would be superfluous, here, to recapitulate the
many considerations which made the Catholic Relief Bill
a measure as unavoidable as it was just. Let it suffice
to say, that we followed it with our spontaneous plaudits;
that we hailed it as a great Legislative achievement, and
exulted—none more sincerely—in the admission of our
Roman Catholic fellow-subjects to civil and religious
equality. All pretext for the continuation of sectarian
animesitim—all ground for those jealousies which exclu-
sion generates—were obliterated, or at least ought to he
so, in this one act of union and equalization. TH is,
retrospectively : this is on record. •
P.ospeatively,.we are not less substantially the friends
Of emancipation; not would we—bacause of the troubles
