The Tines has just discovered that "The Catholic
chiefs offend the flelings of the English people, who are
-any thing but prepossessed in their favour, by abusing
not merely the general character of their institutions,
but by vilifying those martyrs of the reformation whose
names are as dear to them as even the sacred ties
of kindred ; that they insult even their ardent friends
and indefatigable advocates, by denouncing them as
traitors, because they consent to obtain that great prize
on conditions which they know cannot be obtained by
any other means ; and lastly, that in utter ignorance cf
the English character, or with a vulgar insolence even
more contemptible, they presume to invade England
with a knot of briefless banisters, who are to perambu•
late the country with a strolling commission, in order
to create in all who hear them an admiration tot Catholic
doctrines and for Irish demagogues."
We remember the period when our Morning contem-

recantation of this vauntei superiority. How comes it

until half the Press of England had been denounced by

The Paris Paper•, which arrived last night, contain
accounts from Jassy, &mien, and Lembo's, all con-
curring in representing the situation of the Russians,
since their retreat from Silistria, as extremely critical.
The col ps of the brave Hussars PAcnA, from Schumla,
has joined the gallant garrison of Silistria ; and such is
the victorious progress of the Turks against the in-
•aders of their country, that the utmost joy pervades
the whole of the territories which have thus been re-
leased from their sway.

It is generally supposed that Varna, being cut off
from all communication both by sea and land, will
speedily fall again into the hands of the Turks ; and
the SULTAN is stated to have &elated, in the inflated
style of the East, that no Mussulmans ought to sleep
till that fortress is retaken, and the disgrace inflicted
co the Empire by the treachery of answer PACHA is

The German P.pers, received this morning, have
brought us but little news respecting the affairs of the
East in addition to those we base ahead; communi-
cated. The following is the only suede on that sub:
ject of the least interest, and which we have room for
today :
