LETTER TX.

To the Catholics of the United States of 4n,erica.
My FRlENDs,-I shall in this letter continue
my examination Of Dr. Paley's alledged rea-
sons why the principle that although miracles
prove revelation, they ought not to prove ca
tholicism 10 be held. You will recollect, that
this reasoning is founded upon the assumption
that no miracle in favor Of catholicism exists;
the existence Of many such miracles, and that
If he therefore believed Paley's principle that
miracles prove revelation, he ought TO have be-
come Roman catholic, and farther that he
must, if he was well instructed Roman catho-
lie, have seen that oaley was guilty of several
faIsehoods in his attempt TO avoid the conclu-
sion "that catholicism must be divine inStitu-
tion, if christianity is divine institutions" be-
cause the reasons which prove the one prove
the other. II was for this purpose that in my
last letter examined Paley, and for this pur.
pose now continue the examination.

I. The archdeacon says of miracles, 'iWe may
leave out of the case, accounts ETdh,. IN one
country, of what passed in x distant country,
without any proof that such accounts were
known and received at home" with this rr,n-
ciple, l fully agree; because the account Of the
miracle is the accoun. of a fact, and the fact
must necessarily be frs, known, and received as

lis main yalu. in its last clause, soithout any
pfoof that such accounts scsrs kno,Un and received
al home for certainly the mere publication in
one country, Of what passed in distant coun-
try. would be no reason for disbelieying the
truth Of the occurrence, otherwise, the arch
deacon could not expect that any person in
England should believe that Moses caused wa
ter to gush forth miracuiously from rock in
Arabia. The whole force OF the principle is
then found in the clause which have marked
in ifadcs.
The archdeacon thus exempli6es "Those mi

Where riot runs her clam'rous, noisy dance,

POETRY.
From The Poems of DR.. Farmer,
TO NATURE.


TO NATURE.
VIail! lovely stranger, clad in vernal flowers,
Nymph of the cavern wild and mountain hoars
The times have past since beheld thy bowers,
when Istless childhood spent the Aeeting hours,
Where schuylkilrs CLASSY wave reflects the wood
land shore.
Through youthful memory's family shaded screen.
They still appear'd as lovely as before:
For ower though dead, and slopng hills not green
Are cloth'd in verlure when at distance seen,
And Fancy lights her lamp at Memory's waning store
Then, Nature, L beheld thee in dream!
The briar-rose clamber'd DER thy rocky throne,
And clustering bent above murmerng stream:
So childhood bends attentive to the theme,
Ofhaunted cell, where dismal torches CLEAN,
Or wizards dance, or dead men dwell alone,
This rifted fragment Ger the deep.
In awful grandeur lowers;
Within yon cavern fairies sleep,
On Oceans sparkling flowers.
There, Mystery, in dripping shroud,
Waves her dull sceptre round
The bolt that bursts the thunder cloud
Rends not her cell profound.
Around that cell feeble ray
Is sometimes to beam;
Iteads the pilgrim from his way.
Der fen, and moor. and stream.
soIIope, thy little taper shines,
Unquench'd by wiuter's blast:
so he that follows soon repmes,
For he's deceived at last

ROCK BLASTING.

Kingston, IN ~ March 22.-Perhaps one of

United States, was executed by an Irishman,
called Pa,ten, about 4 weeks ago, on rock 40
feet high, and between 90 and so feet wide, on
the Rondout creek and line OF the Hudson and
Delaware Canal little above Mr.. Jacob L.

rock projected partly over the creek, clearing

Patten happening to be on the spot where it
was bedded, as visitor, was offered SIS by the
contractor Of that section to give 1t blast, I'M
der the expectation Of being availed, at least to
that amount, by the fragments he calculated
might be blown from IT, Patten having accept
ed the offer, bored hole in the rock in which
he put 70 pounds Of powder, and then applied
to it the lighted torch, in the presence Of name
rous spectators; when behold! the rock was by
the tremendous explosion totally dislodged
from its bed, overturned and placed so exactly
on the bank Of the canal, as to prove 4 substi-
tute for its embankmcnt, equal to its dimen-
sions. So that the blast was worth 10 the con-

SEIZURE OF AN AMERICAN SHIP.
His Majesty's ship Larne returned to the
harbor last night with the American brig Gov
Endico,t, of 267 tons, of and from Boston; de-
tanned for alleged breach Of the Convention of
Commerce of 1915, between Great Britain and
the United States, by intending to carry on
Trade at Singapore; the Commerce of the Uni
ted States with the British dominions in India
being restricted to the four principal ports of
Calcutta, Madras, Bombay and Prince of Wales
Island, and it being lawful for American ships
to touch only for refreshment at any of the
other ports. The ground Of detention accord
ing to report is the commanders own deca
ration that it was his intention to trade at Sin
gapore, and its appearing by his Log Book that
he was bound for that port This is case OBJ.
Tiously Of much interest and Importance, in
voving the right of search on the high seas
the right on the part of the Americans TO touch
at this new settlement for refreshment and
therefore information; and probably even the
claim of carrying on trade at Singapore, a
place where trade might unques,ionaby have
been conducted by the Americans at the period
that the treaty Was concluded, and which did
not become, in law, a British possession for
nine years thereafter.
