Your letters of the lth Of April, and 9th Of

Of his holiness the Pope, towards the Government
and the people Of the United States, and the last
confirming your anticipations. have been received
al this Department, ami submitted to the President
by whom [ am directed to convey to His Holiness
through the same channel, assurance o! the sa-
tisfacliun which he derives from the cUmmunica-
ton OF the frank and liberal opinions entertained
by the apostolic see, towards this Government and
people, and of the policy which you, likewise, state
His Holiness has adopted and which is so worthy
Of the head Of great Christian Church, assdu-
ously to cultivate in his intercourse with foreign
nations the relations of amity and good will. sedu
lousy to abstain from all interference in their &C.
casonal differences with each other, except with
the benign view Of affecting reconciliation between
them.
You will accordingly seek an early opportunity
to make known TO the Pope, in terms and manner
best suited the occasion, the light in which the
President views the communication referred to- and
likewise you will assure him that the President
cprocates in their full extent and spirit the friend

United States by those which he entertanS towards
the Government of the apostolic see, and the peO-

tment, may not be installed as head Of the church;
indeed the sale by the Jesuits Of their slaves, may
well be considered as a preparatory step, as paw
ing the way for the exercise of the power Of the
Church in relation 10 this property.
Look at Bishop England. He is the LEGArE
Of the Pope 10 his dear son, the Hlustrious and
honorable Boyer, President of the Republic of
Hdyi, authorized to treat with him respecting the
affairs OF the Catholic religion throughout the Re.
public. TO form a NATIONAL CLERGY, and
establish discipline, and TO provide for the spirit
ual and ecclesiastical wants Of the people, clothed
with all the requisite authority. For proof of this,
see the Popes letter to Boyer, given below.
We do not complain that Bishop England,
who holds this official relation to the President Of
llayti, should exercise all the privileges which per.
tain to him as a citizen Of the United States-
He is entitled 10 his preference in the choice Of
Chief Magistrate. He is entitled 10 express that
opinion upon all proper occasions; but we deny
the propriey Of his coming forward as he has and
using the influence which his official station gives
him, for the purpose OF enlistng the Catholics Of
this country as consolidated interest in support
Of Mr.. Van Buren,. All who know the influence
Of the clergy over the more ignorant Catholics,
especially those who have lately come into this
country, will see the Improperly of his interior
ence.
We have been told that our articles upon this
subject have given great offence. We have lost
some subscribers; and many Of our political
friends express their fears at the consequences Of
our having dared 10 censure Bishop Eng and's
conduct
What renders this the more extraordinary is
that those who have spoken to us upon the sub
ject concur with US in opinion, and yet disap-
prove our course because Of its apprehended con.
sequence. We call upon Protestants through
out the country to take note Of these things, and
To be prepared, should it turn out that the Cdtho.
lies, as body, in this city, or elsewhere, should
vote for Mr. Van Burcn, to take this matter into
serious consideration, and examine how far it
may become the duty Of the Protestants Of the
United States to adopt countervajIing measures.

w. p. HARRIS-THE DEFAULTER.

The lands Of w. p. Harris, OF Mississip
pi, a defauier TO the amount Of SOC, 600, wer.
ately levied upon. They were estimated
at $4,000, and sold at $500, loss Of
S35,700. A loco foco friend became the
purchaser; of course the lands went back
instantly into Harris possession The
pretended sale was mere nanGuvre Of the
administration TO enable the defauller 10 com.
promise his debt of 100000 fot $500.
We really doub. whether the whole his
tory Of the political world, taken from be-
ginning TO end, presents another case of gov.
eminent corruption so open, so palpablc, so
fragrant, so shameless, as this case Of w. u.
Harris. This man was appointed receiver
oil the public monies in Mississippi, and, as
his situation gave him the best possible op-
portunity speculating in the public lands,
he immediately began 10 apply the funds
in his keeping 10 that object The govern
ment knew that he was stealing the public
money, but still he was not removed. The
secretary OF The treasury addressed 10 him
eighteen or twenty letters, begging him, in
obsequious terms, TO pay up the amount OF
his defacations, yet still he was permitted to
retain his office Tor more than year after
the discovery of his deialoations; and, dur
ing the whole Of that time, he continues to
make an active use of his fingers, clutc hing
the public money as fast as il came into his
custody and expanding il in the purchase OF
lands, until his Indebtedness 10 the govern
ment amounted to 100000. Even then be
was not turned out of office, but suffered TO
resign, in the fall and quiet possession Of all
his spoils. Subsequently his broad lands,
purchased with the stolen money, were ad.
vertised for sale by government TO pay the
amount of his defacations, and the sequi is
stated above. The matter has been so man,
aged, that his lands, in pursuance ofthe gov
ernment advertisement, have been sold for
$500 TO his confidential friend, or, in other
words, to himself and now he will be able,
after paying the paltry sum, 10 revel like a
prince in the enjoyment of his vast possess
ions

A Wild Child-Slrange as il may appear,
it is currently reported and very generally
believed that wild child, or lad, is now
running at large among the sand hills
round and in the vicinity Of Fish Lake.
1t is reported to be about four feet high. and
covered with light coat of chestnut-colored
hair. 1t runs with great velocity, and when
pursued, as has often been the case, it sets
up the most frightiul and hideous yell, and
seems TO make efforts at speaking. 1t has
been seen during the summer months run
ming along the lake shore, apparently in
search of fish and frogs, and appears 10 be

but may il not be probable that it may have
strayed away from some emigraling party,
when encamped for the night and wander
ed into the woods. where it has grown up
an associate with the animals OF the forest ?
We think this may be the case. If so, what
must have been the anguish OF its parents
and friends on learning that they were com.
PEELED to pursue their journey without their

may have been stolen by the Indians, and
