hcport say. that the Csh.,et arc engaged 40
framing bill for the emancipation OF the Catho-
lics. We hope this report may be true. for we
are convinced that every days news will more
confirm the opinions which we have often express.
ed on the necessity Of yielding the just claims of
OUT Catholic brethren. We trust too, that the
measure now in course Of prcpai alton may be a
full and complete one. for no other would release
VS. from the agitation Of the question. The Ca.ho.
lies might, some years ago, have accepted with
gratitude something short OF absolute and uuCnali-
ned emancipation. But that day has passed; the
whole population Of Catholic ireland deeply i'm
pressed with the justice of their claims, aud no.
thing short of justice will satisfy them. In the
time, we rejoice TO perceive that troops are
pouring into the North of ireland, for we feel as
surcd that the tranquility Of that kingdom is mora
endangered by the intcmpcrance aud blood thirsty
violence Of the Brunswick Clubs, than from any
other cause. What does the Bishop of Down

power Of administering the sacrament, after Ut

FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.
The substance Of the latest news from the seat
Of war in the East, is contained in the following
abstract Of the more copious details Of the Paris
papers. which we copy from the London Courier
Of the evening OF the 9th. 1t will be seen that
there is prospect that the Russian army will be
forced to make disastrous retreat. 1t il even
now saic that they have raised the siege Of Chouri
10.
We have received some details from the seat
Oh war which are OF deep interest, though they
IRE not in the shape Of Bulletins. But they dwell
upon the difficulties which Russia has to struggle
with-difiicuities which, they apprehend, must
increase as the Campaign draws to close. Ac-
cording TO the different articles which we have
extracted from the Paris papers Of Monday ard
Tuesday, the Grand Viz;er has reinforced the
Turkish army at Choum!a with o,eO0 men, thus
swelling the total OF the Turkish force TO upwards
OF 100000 men.-Another account states that
Achmet Pacha has taken up a position at Eske
Stamboui, and that the Grand VIzier is between
kastan and Karnabat.
The Russians have already sent OF their sick
end wounded, 70 4 large uInount, 70 Jeni Bazaar,
ond this movement to be preliminary TO their
retreat from Chounla. But they may wait to as
certain whether Varna, falls, and the senting off
the sick and wounded to Jeni Bazaar, OH the road
70 arGa, would induce US to suppose that they
VIII be removed 10 Varna if the Russians shall
make themselves masters o! it. But it is COM cctur-
ed that the Grand Vizier would still make come

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
by the packet ship Syivanu- jenkins, Capt. AL
len, we have received London papers to the 10Th,
and Liverpool 10 the IIth OF Oct. inclusive. The
most interesting intelligence to this country, is
the fact OF the continued and progressive advance
IN grain. On this subject we have copied para
graph from the Liverpool Chronicle, which speaks
IN some assured terms of the conduct of the 60
yernment, in not taking steps 10 avert the
threatened evils that were likely TO result from
scarcity.
The news from the Russians is any thing but
favorable to their prospects. 1t will be seen by
our extracts, that they were about to make re-
trogade movement. One fact is mentioned which
SHOWS that they must have had some very severe
hghting-the sick and wounded are said 10 amount
TO between 10000 and &C, goo men
Three weeks ago. we Inserted in our pepper, an
article on the subject of the Corn Laws, in which
we stated, on what we know to be good authority,
the deficiency of the late harvest, the Inadequate

procuring supplies from sources heretofore open
TO u.s. We then predicted rise in the price of
grain, and s;roEgly animadver,ed on the negli-
gence o! government, who appeared to be insen-
sioic to the difficulties of the country. Our pre-
dic'ion has been amply alarmingiy fulfilled; since
the date TO which we have referred, the price OF
corn, throughout the United Kingdom, has risen
with raPidity which is perfectly appalling, for il
confirms our worst fears TO the extent OF The de
hcicncy of the crop. That deficiency is we be-
