But this question should be in what re-
spect was he inferior to any man who
was among the planters' Were his o.
pinions eccentrc' Did not almost all
Europe pronounce the same judgment
upon all the planters? Was he less ju-
dicious than Penn? Were not tha fol-
lowers of Penn in Ncw-England judged
subjects Of cruel prosecutions and capi-
tai punishment And did Mr.. Penn cs-
cape judgment in England less severe
than that passed upon Williams in New
England' Let the merits be compared,
the works examined, and the opinions
judged by any modern test; and then let
the world Judge. In comparison with
Cotton, let any man ask whether in the
Antimonian controycrsy-which brought
the settlements into the greatest danger,
Cotton had adopted less pernicious prin-
ciples, or escaped with more dignity than
Williams? Let us meet the subject up
on its proper grounds, not by language
about ecccntricities, while we forget the
age in which Williams lived, and the
character Of his times. And let us also
remember to his honor, that while many
sects have attempted to attach his name
to their opinions, they have failed tc
prove that he adopted any sect, but have
only convinced the world that he was d
sincere friend to christianity, had an ar-
dent zeal for puror worship than he
found in Christendom, and never ceased
to publish his unbounded affection iol
civil liberty.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EU-
RnDE

The arrival oithe ship Orpheus, Capt.
Cobb, from Liverpool, whence she sail
ed on the 23d July has furnished us three
days later intelligence. Although there
is much room for suimisc upon the news
thus received, we gain but little infor-
nation on tho principal topics Of Euro
pean policy. No further report has
reached England Of tho state of Don
Pedro's affairs in Portugal, and the diff
ferenccs between Belgium and Holland
are in the same condition as before. -
In Germany the expression Of discon-
tent is general, at the language assumed
by the Diet in their late Protocol, and
the means and capabilities of resistance
already calculated.
The British House Of Commons have
been engaged in the discussion of the
Irish 1.-THE question, and considerable
acrlmony as usual has prevailed between
Mr. Stanley, the Irish Secretary, and
MIR O'Conncll:-thc probability howcv-
or is, that the measure will pass.
The Cholera, still exercises fearful
sway in London and somo Of the country
parts; the silence Of the authorities on
the subject, and the want Of reports from
the various boards, have bcGot a suspic-
ion that the diseasc is prevailing to a
greater extent than ever, and the great
est misirust exists in consequence.
Some idea is entertained by the Gov
crnmcnt in England, to send out com
mission to enquire into the American
system Of Banking and Currency, with
the view Of gaining evidence on the
question of the re-charter Of the Bank Of
England. If such happens to be the
case, it is to he hoped that the English
men will apply to the proper quarter for
knowledge, and not press Van Buren, &
Co. for information relating to the ma
chnery of the American system. The
Regency party would have their answers
prepared in the spirit oftheir politics, s,and
John Bull would only be dupcd in listen
ing 10 them!
