[TRON THE LOOISIAN• OASITTI, APRIL 20.]
Don Joseph Fells Thilipatelos Leen tent, General of
- •
the Mexian armies, and President of the supreme junta
established in Teti.; in his own name, and in
that of all the patriots of New Spain, in arms, and of
those who for want of oppbrtnnity, or being prevented
by oppressions, have been triable to procure them, but
all naked in the same grand cause of liberating their
country, most solemnly declare before the great God of
troth, and in the face of the world, that they have
burst asunder and dissolved for ever the bonds by
hich they were united to European Spain.
The indignities anal injuries which hare been heaped
upon them in conseqneace of this determination, are
already known to the world. What will then be their
Flory, when they shall have surmounted their suf-
ferings!

Never can any peace or amity exist between Old and
-New Spain. The former can never have any confi-
dence in the latter, nor can the latter allow the oppor-
tunity to escape n•hich presents itself, of revenging
the injuries she has suffered.—(Port of Casaa, March
1, 1 S2O )

[EXTRACT OP A LITTER FROM CTRACOA, APRIL 14.]
By the arrival of a fishing canoe on Thursday even-
ing, from Cutuacebo, which conveyed a Spanish cora-
•sndant and eight men. we learn that the armistice
bad been broken by General Morales, baying made an
attack upon, and defeated a part of the Republican
forces stationed at Celebes°. Accounts of this affair
were forwarded without delay to General Bolivar, who
was then in Barium. treating with the Commissioners
sect out by the Cortes. The conferences were thus
abruptly put an end to, and the Commissioners ordered
tq return.

In the House of Lords last night a petition of a pe-
culiar kind, presented by Lord Kist:, introduced a
dignssion of much novelty and interest. it was a
petition from a clergyman, complaining of the con-
duct of the Bishop of Peterborough, for having re-
fused to licence, as his curate, a gentleman who, hav-
ing preciously snbseribed the 39 articles, refused to
answer a number of questions, to the amount of 97,4
which his Lordship had proposed for the purpose or,
ascertaining the faith of his licentiate?, and securing
the orthodoxy of his diocese. His Lordship justified
the test he had proposed, on the authority of the canons,
which required that in addition to the subscription to
the articles of the Church, the Bishop should
enter into an examination of the Clergyman ;
and contended, that if a complaint lay against his
cosiduct on that account, the appeal could lay not to I
Parliament, but to the Archbishop of CANTERIVRT.
These opinion of the Bishop did nut meet with the
concurrence of their Lordships ; though the motion
for laying the Petition on the table was opposed, on
the ground that it was not likely to be followed by
any profitable practical result. But, as his Lordship
thought that the course he pursued in his Diocese hail
indirectly the good effect of restraining applicants'
who were unsound in faith. froth applying to him for
admission into Holy Orders, so, by parity of reason-
ing, it may be premised that tie slight his sen-
timents experienced on the occasion, may be the
means of Matting the rigour of the Bishop's proceed-
' lags. On no occasion does zeal possess more warmth

and less light than when excited for the purpose of

promoting the interests of the Church. At a period
when Dissenters from the Established Religion are
'manifestly multiplying, it appears to be not consistent
with good policy to shut the door against those who
are disposed to keep within the pale of the establish-
ment ; and little is gained to the cause of religion by
securing the profession bf orthodox doctrines. at the
expense of charity, peace, and good-will, which are its
!poetical essentials.
In the House of Commons, Ministers were left in a
minority of 48 on Mr. Canwaa's motion for a Bill to
• repeal the tax on Farming-horses. On this occasion
- am Inconsistency, not singnlar. was observed. Many
ott those who had supported the estimates for large ex-
samtliture, resisted a tax whisk had bees calculated on in
raining the supplies ; and some, who had hitherto
Amen no disposition for retreechteent, now joined the
t matey lathe call for eeememy. Not a few even re-
pealed the compliments we have continued to pay to
Mr. Hems, for his unwearied rails and perseverance
en this principle. To Ras complexion have they come
at last ! This event it is said was not unforeseen by
