Our readers will perceive, by The result oil
question pu, 10 the Bishop of London, in the
House of Lords, that the important tact is as
.ertaineG that the sentiments Of the king are de-
cidedly opposed to Catholic concession ana
,ba, in this particular he has adopted fully the
view of his venerable father. The manner in
which this sentiment has been made public APP
nesrs 10 be sufficiently in proof that il is one
which the king wished 10 be known TO the
country to guard agains, the Inference that the
late changes in The ministry had any tendency
70 encourage the hope, or TO excite the fears, oil
spv alteration in the state of that question as IL
respected governments We think this quite
sufficient. 1t is obviously a matter perfectly
understood belweeu his majesty and his mill
istry. that no influence in Favour OF that mea-
sure is To- be used by his servants In their
official capacity, and therefore, 10 argue as tho
this was a necessary result, 4 datum not TO be
questioned, as many have done on both sides,
is to supposs, as We have before stated, that
ministers are dishonest, and that the sovereign
can be imposed upon. We believe neither:
and strong as our views are on the subject, we
have no belief that Catholic concession has
advanced any thing by these changes, or that
they were ever adopted to advance it. Let the
country do its duty and make its sentiment, al
ways known-Sentiments, opposed as they are
TO so essential an alteration of our glorious con-
stitution, as in church and state established, -
and there viii be no fear as to the result.
We regret 10 find it stated in the New
York papers, that one Of the volunteer regi-
ments Of the City, while celebrating the ami
versary Of national independence, raised the
standard of mutlny, dehed the authority Of its
officers, and went home. If the commanding
General is true Jackson man, who can "iook
bpoh btOou "o eeH' lSo"Pos"S' 1"o
who possesses sufficient influence to OBJ, ain san
Independent Court Martial" we shall soon hear
that SIX Of the ringleadcrs have been shot al
four days notice, and that the rest Of the mutt
necrs has been "pardonsd" after having half The
hair shared of their heads. Such an energetic
course would a, once render the New York Ge-
neral terrible and popular besides stimulating
other Court Marlials to act with independence
and familiarising our chicken-hearted citizens to
the necessary scenes of" BLooD AND CARNAeE'
which the mu,inous spirits Of the times so loud
ly call for.
