From Charles Winners News Letter.
The question of the rubric, which has for
some time been the prevailing topics in the
Church Of England, has been brought promi-
nently before the public by letter from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to the clergy and
laity of his province. The Archbishop recon-
mends the clergy TO abstain from any further
attempt to introduce changes in the Church
service, unless they are acceptable 10 the laty,
and to let matters generally remain as they are,
until the "way shall be prepared for final set
tlement." In consequence of this letter, the
Bishop of Exeter has Withdrawn from the con-
test with the aiiy of his diocese, and has de-
clared that he thankfully accepts the prospect
of an adjustment OF their present dversities by
some general measure which shall have the
sanction of the whole Church.
The Morning Post, in an article on Friday,
seriously mentioned rumor as being prevalent
that Lord John Russell is about to Join the
Ministry and to take the leadership o! the
House of Commons, whilst Sir Robert Peel
makes wav for him by going to the House of
Lords. The report is too ridiculous to be cred
tied, but at the same time il may he right 10
remember that many equally strange combina-
lions have been brought about in the world Of
politics. A contemporary says: "Lord John
Russell, who is gradually approximating more
and more 10 the principles of free trade, could
NJ more AXE part in the councils of the present
Cabinet than he could in those OF the Emperor
OF Russia
IaELAND.-The Repeal question in Ireland
has been thrown into the shade by an agitation
of very different and unexpected character.-
The Requests Act has created difference of
opinion, not only among the Catholic laity, but
among the higher order Of the clergy. The
excitement occasioned by this measure had in
NJ degree subsidized, when il was runored that
the Government had opened negotiation with
the Pope Tor The purpose of connecting the
Irish Catholic Church with the State, either
by making provision for the clergy, or by OBJ !
tanning concordat, giving the Crown The nom
ination of the preaes. This rumor apparent
~ took all parties by surprise; but before there
had heen much time for the expression of pub |
lie opinion on the subject, Archbishop Crolly,
The Catholic Primate of Ireland, published
letter addressed 10 him by the Propaganda, at
the command Of the Pope, charging him to adj !
monish all ecclesiastics, and especially those of
episcopal rank, to abstain from taking any part |
in political meetings or dinners, and "studious-
iy TO avoid what may even lightly excite or
agitate the flock committed to lhem.'
Mr. O'Connell at once pronounced this letter
to be not ga canonica document" and the Pri-
mate consequently thought il necessary 10 pub
lish letter to Mr. O'Connell, expressing his
t'surprise and sorrow that he should have VEN
tured" to make such an assertion, and stating
that the document had been submitted to all
the prelates of his Church, who had agreed to
abide by its njunctious.
FRANCE The debate in the French Cham
ber Of Deputies is generally regarded as secnr-
ing the Ministry in power another session. On |
Saturday there were two divisions on the Ia
hit affair, the numbers being close, and the
voting open. One of the divisions was so near
that the opposition claimed the majority, but |
the President decided against them; the second |
was also nearly even, but the ballot was not
taken until Monday, when Ministers had ma
jonty OF eight. This excited the more surprise,
as every one regarded their defeat as certain, |
and il appears they would have been defeated,
II some of the Legitmist party had not come
10 their aid. II was mere struggle for place;
but the general lone of the debate in the Cham
hers, as well az in The Peers, was if not friend
~, much less acrimonious towards England |
than the debates Of the last and the previous
sessions.
SwITzERLAND.-Acc from Switzerland
say that several cantons are in open warfare.
AT Argovie the insurgents, after having taken
the arsenal, without any resistance being offer
ed on the part of the government, seized on the |
ammunition and other stores, which were col
lected in large quantities, and marched towards |
Lucerne, where they were TO meet the nsur-
gents of other cantons. The canton OF Berne
was taking measures to refuse passage to per-
sons coming from Friburg to Join the other
macontents at Lucerne.

ci by the bullying of Grvas, Camille Deliga-
mic has been elected President, and Canars
and Caliphronas, Vice Presidents Amongst
these Cunaris is the only one who has The
slightest pretenion 10 responsibility; and the |
President, who can scarcely read, and has less
skill in writing, must feel The awkwardness OF
his position as the head Of legislative assem-
