persons indeed, who take tine to reflect,

1t is a great su6ject. The whole world
ought TO have their eyes fixed upon this
grand paper engine for the thing is now.
At this very moment, 1T work to produce
wonderful events. 1t HIS been the cause,
and the only cause OF keeping in check,
or beating down. the spirit OF freedom in
Europe. It has been the cause, and the
OILY cause OF the restoration OF the old go
vernments, the Pope, and all the rest. 1t
has been the cause, and the only cause, of
all y; and, therefore, every
symptom, with regard to It's probable du-
ration, is of importance. 1t is quite in
vain to look for the cause of any material
change in any Other quarter Some acci
dent may probably give rise to a great
change ; but the chapter of accidents is
nothing 30 calculate on. Have your eyes,
therefore, upon this grand paper engine.
Ii is wonderfully enfeebled of late. 1t is
now much better understood even by this
credulous and deluded people. This last
measure, though it has not sDrhriscd' a.
ny body, except Mr.. Horner, has set many
persons to thinking, who appear never to
have thought upon the subject before. If

In my last. gave you some information
about the hecce diien Bill. Since that
Letter was written, the Bill has passed
through another stage. SIR SAMUEL Ro-
MILLY has moved for return of the Ali
ems who have been sent out of the country
at the request of foreign minister's. You
will easily see the drift of this. The mott
on was, however, rejected by large ma
jority. Now. observe. Sir SAMUEL Ro-
MILLY, who is an eminent, an able and
most upright lawyer (Which is n very rare
thing in England said +" He knezv that

Ii has been stated in the public prints
here, that the Pope has issued document
of some sort, declaring" that the folerai
on Of several religions IS contrary to the
principles of the Catholic Church :" and
OF course that such federation ought to be
put an end to. This may, very likely, be
a first step towards an expulsion of the pro-
tcstants from France, measure that ought
