"Where knowledge is confined to a ftor, earrittisle will
be the lot of the many. Keens ledge is power, and the
few that are enlightened hill readily domineer over the
natty that are besotted in ignorance, or overrun with
superytitiou. Hut where knowledge is not contractor'
withal a narrow circle, but, like the light of Heaven, is
ditfiislot among all, the power that is esettriseil must be
eshcisetl for the common good, or it will be speedily
despised and ultistiately overturned. The possessors
of the power may retard the required change ; but, when
the sentiment of its usefulness is sufficiently diffused, it
will be spontaneously produced."
Her Majesty's Answer to the Inhabitants of the
Ward of Farringdon Within :
" I am deeply obliged by this impressive and affection-
ate Address from the Aldermen, Deputies, Common
Council, and inhabitants of the Ward of Farritigdon
Within.
" I am grieved. but not surprised, that the Clergy
should so universally have acquiesced in the erasure of
my n one fr the Liturgy. Charity is the must risen.
G al part of piety; but this sort of piety may often he
ati obstruction in the way of ecclesiastical advancement.
Whilethe pastors of the church are so worthily occu-
pied, it enahl not be supposed that more than two or
three of them would step beyond the line of ecclesias-
tical decorum to administer spiritual solace to a perse-
cutes' Quern.
" It is not a little remarkable, that the only innova-
tion which the hi••rarclry has been willing to admit in
the ancient Liturgy for about a century anti a half, is
one that was dictated by malevolence. But if any alte-
rations had been proposed in the Liturgy which 'memo-
oDed at once with the genius of Christianity and with
the improved sentiments of the age, the authors of the
teat proposition would have limn reviles' nith as much ran-
cour and as little moderation as if they designed, not
evenly to prime the superfluous brandies. but had come
prepared with an use to cut down the very trunk of the
estahlisliment.
'I he folhoving is her Majesty's Answer to the In-
habitants of the Parish of Christ (*hutch, Surrey:—
" The Inhabitants of Christ Church, Surrey, are en-.
titled to my warm thanks for this affectionate Address.
" I am grieved in common with the rest of the people,
that the highest judicature in the kingdom should have
been eontaminated by the presence of so ll foreign
perjury. Witnesses have been admitted against the
I)tteett Consort of these realms who would not have been
allowed in a petty action in any of the minor Courts.
" My enemies never lost sight of me in my remote
and spacious travels. No ground that I ever trod was
too hallowed for the step of perfidy to invade. The
emissaries of the enemy followed me with the rapidity
of blood-hnnot:s to Nrizareth and Jerusalem. To hire
the bawd by which you have been nurtured is hardly
the property of the envenomed reptile; and it is emble-
matic of the highest degree of insincerity and enalevo-
'rims. Hut, atnongst those who hare assailed me with
falsehoods of the most aggravated kind, how malty have

The grave pots•an endow animosities; and even the
death of a coin 1111 l n trend ~.ni serve to reconcile two

Oriel:. instead of being appeased, is excited to fresh
acls of cruelty, and fresh enormities of injostice, by the
slrhth, not only of a COIII3IOII friend, but of more than
ono common relative?
tt When forgiveness is taught by the moralist nr the

in vain exclaims that vengeance ought to cerise, and

A letter from Venice of the Nth nit. furnishes ns
with the followin; particulars relative to the late dis-
tiloll;ll'er in the 'lonian Islands, whirb had b..en at
first represented as an urgauizeil insurrection:—" It
appears that a spi :it of disc intent and disaffection,
originating io a variety of grievances, has fur some
time existed in those islands. Towards the end of
Aug-wit last, tire. Adam, Sir Thomas Mritland's
loran. (rm. * in his abs:•tire, having- been informed
that that spirit had a more serious and de-
cisive character in the island of %mite, proceeded thi-
ther it ithout delay from Corfu, the seat of Horan-
'went, with a strung- reinforcement of troops, artillery,
and muninniti ~,, , which were embarked on haaril of
frigate, and other armed vessels. Oa his arriral some
