Under the shallow pretence that

they are of the Protestant ia tin, thou

catacombs of freedom. One might as
well study optics in the pyramids of

Rome, as liberty in secret couclaves,

enough express their surprise and de-
light to find honest men going into a
widespread system of secret clucuses.
Honest men in such places have the Pc

says. San internal fren-and was then attacked

Russians, on the 9Th ult. evacuated the place and
retired to the North side of the 1chernaya river.
A letter from London OH the lth September

You will notice that, although only the south

the Allies, the universal expression is that Sc
vasispol has fallen. Perhaps, in the moment of
success, We are again deluding ourselves as TO
the obstacles yet remaining to complete pos

that the fortresses, though strong, are not large
enough to protect numerous garrison; and that
the Allies will be able effectively to attack them
