IT has often been the wish of Persons interested in the Subject of Agriculture, to have the comparative Merits of different Breeds ol grazing Animals, or of diffe- renr individuals of the same Breed, ascertained, not by the fallible Criterion of opinion alone, out of the infalli- ble one of Weights and Scales , to prove, by comparing the living and dead Weight of Animals of the same Age and Kind and by examinibg the Parts on which the dead Weight is principally laid, the proportionate Quantity and Value of animal Food produced, for the Quantity and Value of vegetable Food consumed . These Considerations, strengthened by the known bene-' ficial Effects of the Smithfield Society for promoting such inquiries, have induced the under signed Persons to call the public Attention to the Subject ; and to request a Meeting of such as may favour their Views, in order to form a Society, who, by the Proposal of Premiums on • Licit Conditions as shall be judged proper, mav procure the Opportunity ot investigating the Merits of Animals on the Principles above stated. They therefore, presume to solicit the Attendance of Agriculturalist, at Loftus's Turf Hotel, in Newcastle- upon- Tyne, precisely at Noon, on Thursday, the 6th of July next. The Time is chosen as being in Newcastle Race Week ; and Newcastle is chosen from its affording a ready Market for disposing of the Animals slaughtered, and from its centrical Situation in the great Agricultural Districts of the North ; to which, how ever, it is by no meant wished to limit the present Invitation, or the future proposed Pre- : miums, but to make both as general as possible.

Sir,— I readily embrace the opportunity your lettcr af- fords me, of adding my testimony to that of the LORD CHIEF BARON, in favour ot your ChING'S PATeNT WOrM LOZengeS, my eldest son having a few months ago derived very material benefit from the use of it. He- had been unwell tor several weeks previous to his taking it, appeared pde and emaciated, was languid, and com- plained of pain in his head and side. The Lord Chief Ba- 10 i, who had accidentally seen him in this state, fortunately recommended me to the trial of your Lozenges; and that 410 time might be lost, or any mistake might occur in ob- taining ihe genuine Medicine, sent me three doses of it. The first ot these occasioned a visible amendme nt, and after the second dose every unpleasant symptom disap- peared, but I judged it right to give the third, as the two former had agreed so uncommonly well. From that time my son has been in perfect health, and I Certainly attri- bute his cure wholly to the efficacy of the Worm Loze.:. ges. I have since recommended your Lozenges in sever;:! instances, wherein I have the satisfaction to assure you, they have uniformly been of great service. I ought to add, that from the nature of the effect produced hy them its my son's case, t apprehend the complaints to have arisen from an obstruction between the stomach aud viscera.

Carlisle, George Street, March 20tn, 1815. Saturday to Tuesday's Mail LONDON, MAY 30. The Papers from this country are to the 27th inst.. They contain some details of tbe proceed- ings of the Vendean insurgents a party of whom., it is said, lately attacked a ppst of coast- guards and custom- house officers between Sables and Mirmontier. They also a descent the coast, of La Vendee by M. La Roche Jacque- lin and his. associates, with the fire arms furnish- ed by the British government. They are said to be from 7 to 800 men. They landed near: Gilles, and seized on the village of Bressuire. The Paris Papers state, that troops have marched both from Paris and Bourdeaux to quell the in- surrection. ' A few days will prove whether this expecta- tion of the French Government shall be fulfilled; or whether this insurrection will spread beyond, the district in which it has burst.. M. Jacquelin has certainly received a supply of arms from England, but it is doubted that so many as 700 Frenchmen accompanied him. The emigrants attached to the royal Cause seems all desirous of repairing to Ghent, and within the last week numbers of Officers have landed from Bretagny on our coast, in their way to the King's head- quarters, where there are about 5000 Officers and no privates. This dejrre of joining the King in the north augurs but little for the insurrection in the west. They could render the royal cause more faithful service by remaining at their post, than by joining a standard where there is not an army. We have no doubt but that the impetu- osity, of the French character has given an explo- sion to this insurrectional effort sooner than was * intended. The emigrants at the bead of it are justly afraid of the effect of the Allies entering France as invaders, since they think that that an of aggression would unite all arms in it; and therefore their impatience has made them hazard the whole success of their plot before it was ripe. Bonaparte remains at Paris, and the Champ Mai is postponed to the 5th of June. All the Electors are not yet arrived at Paris, nor is the registry of the votes upon the Constitutional Act yet completed. This is the reason assigned for the postponement of this ceremony. Bonaparte's mother, his brother Jerome, and his uncle, Cardinal Fesch, have arrived at Lyons from Naples. The French Funds continue to fall. The five per Cents, are at 56-|. BELGIUM. The Dutch Mails contain an article dated Brussels, May 17, which states that the main body of the French army, amounting to 4 19,000 men, has marched in three divisions towards the Maese, in the direction of Givet. At Valenciennes the French army was in front of the Duke of Wellington. This movement would, without change of position on his part, turn his left, and carry the French considerably in advance. Its precise object has not been ascertained. It may have been made with a view to provoke an at- tack. The King of Holland has made the Duke of Wellington Field- Marshal of the army of the Netherlands, and appointed him in that ca- pacity to the command in chief of that army. they not recollect that proceeded from the councels of those who from, the offices they held had hereditary interest in pursuing war, as the- means of prosecuting their robberies upon the public. Lord CASTLEREAGH objected to the reception of such a petition, as the direct object of it seemed to be, that of offering an insult upon the house. Sir F. BURDETT was not sorry that the petition had thus drawn the attention of the house, and desired nothing better than to appeal to the public for the correctness of every averment in the petition. It would be his duty, when he should meet- with that support from without the house, which he knew would induce them to hear of its corruption, to shew that the house was any thing but a ] representation of the people. At any rate, he did not ap- prebend that it was exceedingly important to the people whether the petitions were laid on or under the table, for it was plain the petitions of the people would not be attended to, after certain petitions hid lately been ne- glected, calling upon the house for forbearance of every kind. . * The question was then negatived without a division. REGENT'S MESSAGE. The order of the day tor the consideration of the sub- ject of the Prince Regent's message being read in the usual form by the Speaker ; Lord CASTLEREAGH said that he had this morning exchanged with the Ambassador Of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria, the ratification of the treaty of the 25th March, so that that treaty was now complete on ITALY. Brussels Papers contain another bulletin from the Austrian army in Italy, which shews that the Austrians are continuing their successful career. Aquila, in the Neapolitan territories, has been ta- ken, and Ancona is blockaded. The Austrians are much nearer Naples than Murat. Lord Exmouth's arrival off, Genoa, with ten sail of the line, is announced in the Genoa ar- ticles of the 10th instant,. It is supposed that it will immediately proceed against Naples. The Frankfort Papers, since arrived, suppose that the Austrian army entered Naples on the 9th, but as General Bianchi was not much be- yond Aquila on the 6th, we do not think they could have reached Naples so soon as the 9th. It is stated under the head of Genoa, that the Anglo- Sicilian army, which was preparing for a descent upon Naples, is composed of 15,000 Sici lians, a Calabrese Legion, aud 6000 British. GERMANY. DOMESTIC AND MISCELLANEOUS. It is said that the Emperor of Austria intends to obtain his daughter's divorde from Bonaparte. • The bustle of embarking troops at Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, for the Netherlands, continues with unabated activity. - The troops coming from America are to be sent thither, without permit- ting them to land in England. The notice, formerly inserted from the German papers, concerning hostile demonstrations by the Turks on the Russian frontier, is repeated in the French Journals. Several more French officers have made their escape from France, into this country, in order to proceed to the head- quarters of Louis XVIII. The Duchess of Angoulesme sailed on Satur- day for Ostend, in order to proceed from thence to Ghent. Another revolution has taken place in Algiers. The reigning Dey was poisoned on the 23d March : the chief minister was proclaimed in his place; but on the 7th April he was strangled, and the Agar Omar proclaimed. The following is a summary of the gradual and progressive increase of crime in England and Wales in the six years ending 1813:— In 1808, there were charged with criminal offences 4735 persons; in 1809, 5330; in 1810, 5146; in 1811, 5337; in 1812, 65761 and in 1813, 7164— In the year 1814 the number was 6390. By accounts laid before the House of Commons, it appears that the total net revenue for the year ending on the 5th of April, 1815, amounts to 65,306,4701 being 2,964,503/. above the revenue for the year ending the 5th of April, 1814. Miss Christiana Bonaparte, daughter of Lucien Bonaparte, at present resides at Hinckley, in Leicestershire. She is apparently under no re- striction whatever, but visits whom she pleases, and is accustomed to receive foreign strangers as all sides^ and formally ratified documents on the part of all the powers wou. d be laid before the house regularly and officially. The question now was not whether we should go to war or not, but, being at war, whether we should enter into negotiations wiih the present ruler of France, and abandon our allies. He did not think it ne- cessary to go much into detail on this point. If Bona- parte was at the head of that nation, the nation had com- mitted an infraction of the peace. In the hands of that man was the power, of the French army, who wished to be carried back to splendour and rapine ; and if we looked at the whole course of his life, it was replete with perfidy and dissimulation. If we looked at his government in France, there were no periods in which his conquests were more extensive and unrelenting than those in which he declated he was at peace. After he had allied himself to one of the first houses in Europe, we found him as im- patient of his situation as in the moment lie had his own fortune to make. If we followed him after the storm which had burst upon him in Russia, and after he was hemmed in in his own dominions, did he meet the over- tures of the allies with the view of giving repose to the world? No; he was only desirous of extricating him- self trom the difficulties which surrounded him, and was disposed to commit every fraud merely to regain breath- ing time to renew the struggle. This was apparent from a document which had already appeared, and which was written at a moment when he was placed between Mar- shal Blucher and Marshal Schwartzenberg, and, foreseeing his danger, he directed his minister at Chatillon to con- clude a treaty, but to take care that he might be able to break it. As to the question whether we had a rational Rhine. The Russian army moving in the same direction under Barclay de Tolly consisted of 225,000 in the ranks, exclusive of a considerable number of volunteers. There Was another army of 150,000 under General Wittgenstein ready to come forward in case of neccessity. Prussia Had in motion 236,000 men. The force to be furnished by the minor states was 150,000. Holland was ready to fur- nish 50,000, and this country an equal number, making a total of 1,011,000.— This country, for the deficiency in its contingent, would have to pay £ 2,500,000, which was to be distributed among the minor German States at the rate of £ 11 2s per man. His Lordship then expatiated on tlie ' advantages of this arrangement, and congratulated the House upon the allies being in a much more formi- dable military attitude with regard to France than at any previous period. Immediately previous to the peace of Paris the French held 56 fortresses within the allied territories, the garrisons of which subsisted upon the in- habitants of the respective countries. It required 40,000 men to mask Dantzic, . and there was an immense draw- back upon the armies of the allies for the purpose of maintaining their communications. All these fortresses, those of the Netherlands, Holland, & c. were now in the hands of the allies. Spain had joined in the alliance, but no particular arrangement with her had yet taken place. As to the arrangements respecting the employment of the military means of the Continental Powers, instructions had been sent to the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Lord concluded wiih moving the resolution for the £ 500,000 to Austria, Russia, and Prussia. After some further conversation, the motion was car ried by 160 te 17. TUESDAY, MAY 30. Sir H. PARNELL brought forward his motion relative to the Catholic Question.— The Baronet merely moved, " That the House should resolve itself into a Committee, to take into consideration the state of the laws respecting Roman Catholic Subjects."— But he stated that the object of his resolutions to be moved in the Committee was, to open to the Catholics seats in Parliament, and all oflices of profit, honour, and trust— in a word, unqualified con- cession Lord CASTLEREAGH was for going into the Com- mittee, though lie Was decidedly against unqualified con- cession, Mr. GRATTAN was also for the Committee, though he condemned the application for unqualified concession. " When the Petitioners," said Mr. Grattan, " desire emancipation, without any conditions, they desire two things— they desire emancipation, and then they desire that it may not be granted, because the annexation of no conditions must, render the grant in this House impossi- ble." The motiou was negatived by a majority of 228 against 167. JOURNEYMAN PAINTER WANTED. WANTED immediately, a JOURNEYMAN . PAINTER, who has been accustomed to the ' different Branches of the Business.

' We have received the Paris papers to the 29th inst. They state that Prince Lichtenstein had arrived at Strasburgv on his way fcum Vienna Paris. This statement will probably prove to have been unfounded, as the French papers ap- pear very anxious to encourage a hope of an ac- commodation with Austria. The electors sum- moned to the Champ de Mai arrive in Paris daily. The registries of the votes of 55 departments have already been received, and the rest were immediately expected, but the day of the cere- f mony is not yet fixed. The advices from La Vendee come down to ' be 26th, and, contrary to tbe preceding accounts from that quarter, they state that the insurgents who had assembled at St. Gilles were attacked and defeated at the time of the landing qf ihe military stores at that place. Their loss upon this occasion is estimated at three hundred men killed, and from three to four thousand muskets, with 600 barrels of powder taken. There is no news from Naples, nor any certain intelligence whatever of Murat. His fate, how- ever, may be regarded as fixed. The Sovereigns of Europe have all rejected him, and Austria, following up her determination, has not less than 100,000 men in Italy. The French funds are a little better. The five per cent Consols are 57 francs. The following letter is stated to be from France. Our readers will remember that it appears in tbe Courier " , May 20.— We landed here safely on the 16th, having been sent for by two Units which came off from St. Gilles, where we found 3 or 400 men.

IMPORTANT STATE PAPER. In the Dutch Papers is an important Docu- ment issued officially by the Congress of Vienna, purporting to be a Conference of the 12th May, 1815. It ia the Report of the Commissioners ap- pointed to consider— 1st. Whether the position of Bonaparte towards the powers of Europe has been changed by the fust success of his en- terprize, or the events which have occurred since his arrival at Paris;— 2dly. Whether his offer of sanctioning the Treaty ot Paris should determine the Allied Powers to adopt a dilferent system from that announced in their Declaration of the 13th March ;— 3dly. Whether it be necessary or expedient to publish a new Declaration, or to modify that of the 10th March? The Committee having determined this point in the negative, their Report was unanimously approved, not only by the eight powers which signed the Treaty of Paris, but also by all the other recognised Royal governments, viz. Bava- ria, Denmark, Hanover, the Netherlands, Sar- dinia, Saxony, the Two Sicilies, and Wurtem- berg. Murat, of course, is no longer considered among the crowned heads; but the title of the Two Sicilies designates King Ferdinand. advancedthem >£ 2,. 500,1X10 in consequence of their financial embarassments — After some discussion, the motion was negatived by 86 to 30. THURSDAY, MAY 25. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presented a petition from the city of Westminster, the principal objects of which he said, were peace, aud reform in Parliament. The peti- tion , was then read. It professed to shew, that if we should enter into an engagement to wage a new war on the principle of proscribing Bonaparte, such war would be flagrantly unjust,— that the contrary opinion was less to be attributed to an ordinary deficiency in wisdom, thai to desperation,— tliat the petitioners would be at a loss to account for a policy » o much resembling madness, did astonish all our allies by such a confirmation, would not Europe exclaim against us, and say, " You have kindly assisted and generously contributed to our deliverance; and do you at the most urgent moment fall back! In vain have you so long opposed and borne up against the flying fortunes of the world ; in vain have you taken the eagles from the hands of the invaders; in vain have you snatched invincibility from the standards of the foe ! Now, when all Europe is ready to march, are you, who were in the front before, the foremost to take the lead in desertion ?" In truth we are uot now to consider the money we lud spent, but the fortunes we had kept. At the least, we were now asked to keep up a peace wilh a war establish- ment. Our resources certainly were not eternal; but we had yet greater resources than all the other nations. Re- collect that money was only one part of strength. The name and the pait which we had borne precluded us from taking second place. When we ceased to be first, we must be last; when we descended from our exalted rank, we should become nothing. Sir F. BURDETT admired the eloquence and ingenui- ty of the Right Hon. Gentleman in his address to the passions of the House, but thought his exaggerations equal to those imputed to the French. Bonaparte appeared to be as far us possible, more than any known king, elected by a very great majority of the French people. There seemed less proof of King William's election than there was of that of Bonaparte. Believing that every people had a right to choose their own government, he was nei- ther for forcing liberty or despotism on France, by war ; and wishing to avoid a war on such a principle ot inter- ference, he should vote for the ' amendment. Mr. W. WYNNE argued at considerable length, that the past history of Bonaparte fully proved him to be in- competent to any thing like the spirit of an honourable engagement. Mr. PONSONBV could not bring his mind to agree to the system of policy which the Minister and his Right Hon. friend ( Mr. Grattan} recommended to the House. The House then divided— Against the Amendment 331 — For it 92— Majority 239. FRIDAY, MAY 26. The House having gone into a Committee of Supply, Lord CASTLEREAGH proceeded, in the first place, to inform the Committee of an arrangement made with Holland. It had been agreed on with that power, that we should retain the colonies of Demerara, Berbice, and Essequibo, as now comprising a mass of British property, for which we were to pay 1,000,0001. as a compensation. We were also to pay, for a certain number of years, the interest of the Russian loan in Holland, amounting to about 150,0001. a year, and a yearly sum for strengthen- ing the fortresses in the Netherlands, whilst they remained under the dominion of the House of Orange, i'he charge for Holland would thus create an additional expenditure this year of 3,000,0001. His Lordship then explained the subsidiary arrangements with the allies.— The great powers had determined not to limit their contingents to the a- mount stipulated in the treaty of Chaumont. Though Austria had her quota already in Italy, she had another army of equal number ( 150,000 then) advancing to the par. A . v D • The Emperor Alexander, in a letter to the , Polish Diet, announces his assumption of the title o( King of Poland, and the union of that kingdom to Russia. His Majesty says, he has particular pleasure in announcing that " this istha unanimous j decision of the Powers assembled in Congress. It must' no doubt be a great consolation for Po j land, that her despoilers did not quarrel among themselves for the spoil— that the Lion has been suffered to take his share; without even a growl or a scratch frewn any of his less powerful associ- ates. This arbitrary measure is all that was wanted to complete the disappointment of those who, on the successful conclusion of the late war, anticipated only the redress of wrongs, or in- creased security for the liberties and indepen- dence of nations ; who never dreamed that in the magnanimous professions. of the Allied Sovereigns, they meditated spoliation and aggrandisement. prospect of success in a war against France, his Lordship was of opinion we had ; and he grounded it upon the diminished resources Of the enemy since 1814, and also upon the spirit of the inhabitants of the continent, and the immense numbers and highly equipped and disciplined state of the troops that were marching against her. The Noble Lord coucluded by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, assuring his Royal Highness of their cor- dial support in all the measures he may take in conjunc- tion with his allies against the common enemy. On the question being put ; Lord G. CAVENDISH rose and declared, he Could not consent to the Address, because it went to interfere with the internal Government ot France. The object which Ministers had in view was to dethrone the present . Ruler, and to enthrone the Bourbons. No one could de- ; plore the unhappy circumstances under which that family were placed, nor the head of that family Louis XVIII. more than he ; but experience of. the past had shewn how ; little experience was to be placed on the restoration of | that family. He therefore was against pledging Parlia- , inent to any such object, and should move an Amend- ment, generally condemning the going to war on the mere object of excluding an individual from the Govern- j meat of France, which was an unwise measure.— The Noble Lord then moved his Amendment, in substance to that effect. Mr. J. SMITH seconded the amendment. Mr. GRATTAN said, it was truly painful to him to differ in opinion with those honourable friends wiih whom he had so long and so uniformly coincided in opinion ; but that being now the case, he could not content himself with giving a silent vote on the question. The only al- tentative now left us seemed to be whether we should have a peace without security, or a war without allies.— He would ask, whether by treaty they would confirm in the heart of Europe a military domination, founded on a j triumph over civil rights, and which had made the expe- riment pf governing a great nation without any religion, and which aimed at governing Europe by means of break- ing oaths and deposing the king ! If they would agree to confirm that system,— if they would degrade the ho- nour of England,— if they would forget the value of mo- rals, and despise the obligations of religion,— il they would Silk and Cotton Hose, Drawers, and Petticoats.

No vessels with troops, horses, or military stores, are now suffered to proceed from the Downs, for Ostend, without convoy. This ap- pears to be a very necessary precaution, as the opposite ports of France are full of privateers and row- boats, ready to start at the first notice of hostilities. ' Advices from Buenos Ayres up to the 9th of February were received in town this morning. The Spanish Insurgents have been most com- pletely successful against the Royalists, having defeated them in several engagements ; after ha- ving taken possession of Monte Video, they cros- sed over to Chili, where they attacked a very large ! body of the Royalists and completely defeated them. A vessel from Trinadad is arrived on the coast, which sailed on the 20th April, and brings tlie intelligence of the arrival of the Expedition from Spain at Carupano, on the Spanish Main, consisting of a very large flotilla, with upwards of 15,000 men onboard. Operations were im- mediately to be commenced against the insur- gents. Letters received from the Cape of Good Hope state, that the disputes with the Chinese Govern- ment had been amicably settled. The Royal Oak, 74," Admiral Malcolm, B ford, 74, the Majestic, 64, and several other sels, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth with nearly the whole of the troops lately employed on coast of North America, including the Royal Artillery and the whole of the Ordnance stores Generals Keane and Power have returned. The arrival of her Royal Highnes the Princess of Wales in this country is not likely to take place so soon as was expected. A confidential servant of her Royal Highness arrived in this country charged with dispatches to some of her friends some time back ; the result of which is not likely to prove so congenial to her Royal Highness's wishes as might have been anticipated^. CLERICAL TOLERANCE. Copy of a letter from the Dean Peterborough', to the Rev. John Lingard a Papist. ' " Reverend Sir— In your strictures on Profes — sor Marsh's Comparative View, occur these word* once, ' the new Church of England.' and these oftener, the modern Church ot for both these expressions you are amenable a court of justice I infer from this extract: sed- tious words, in derogation of the established reli- gion, are indictable, as tending to a breach of peace ; as where a person said, your religion new religion ; preaching is but i- rath g ; and er once a day is more edifying ' 1. haw. ?* i. sides, the church by law established in this is to inseparably interwoven with the British' Constitution, that whatever is calumny upon the former must be calumny upon the latter. " If however, you shall assure me in the course of a few days, that within a reasonable time you will publish a vindication of this defamatory lan- guage, I will defer to prosecute you, not only till sufficient time has been granted you for that pur- pose, but also till an opportunity has been allowed the public to peruse my reply to it. By a vindi- cation is here meant, complete proof of this posi- tion— that the structure of the Church of Eng- land, and the materials of which it is composed, are new and modern. Should it appear to be the general opinion, when the reasonings of us both shall have been maturely considered, that your vindication is complete, I will then make a recan- tation, and cease to be a member of the Esta- blished Church. If, by the generality of our rea- ders, it shall be thought defective, you will be sum- moned to answer for your offensive demeanour in Westminster Hall. " It mav justly be presumed, that, before you ventured to issue forth your detractions, argu- ments to establish the position above- mentioned had been prepared with sedulity, and judiciously arranged. I therefore shall add, that by ' a reasonable time' you must understand a few months only. " T. KIPLING." ties of republican France was commenced, — with what success, and with what consequences, the body of ihc peo- ple cannot remember without, heaving a groan or a sigh to the memory of that departed Statesman ;— we say the body of the people, because to many war, instead of being a reluctant sacrifice to. necessity, bccomes a trade— a source of great gain ; and therefore we need not wonder that a certain description of gentlemen should see in Napoleon Heaton Colliery.— All hopes of saving any of the poor workmen in Heaton colliery must now he abandoned, as the water drawn up by the engines for these last the days has emitted a most offensive and putrid smell, which leaves no doubt of the state of the bodies under ground- A course of Lectures will be preached at Gilsland Spa, in the Protestant Dissenting Meeting- house there, during the ensuing Season — Service to begin at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. PHILOSOPHICAL, & c. NOTICES. Fatal Effects of severe Cold.— M. Degenettes, the celebrated French physician, who accompa- nied the unfortunate army which penetrated into Russia, thus describes some of the phenomena which occurred among the troops who were exp- posed to the intense cold which was fatal to so many thousands, during the retreat from Moscow. The effect alluded to was perfectly new to M. Desgenettes, and will doubtless be equally so to our medical readers;—" I have heard men," says this acute observer, " who were marching with every appearance of muscular energy, and with the most decided and soldierlike pace, suddenly complain that a thick veil was covering their eyes; those organs, at first for. an instant hag- gard, soon became immoveable; all the muscu- lar apparatus of the neck, and more particularly the sternocloido- mastoideau muscles, became ri- gid, and gradually rivetted the head on the right or left shoulder ; this rigidity next extended to the truuk, the lower extremities tottered, and the unhappy victim fell upon the snow, exhibit- ing, to complete the frightful picture, all the symptom's of catalepsy or epilepsy." Aerostatic Experiments— An ingenious exhi- bition has been lately opened, by Sieur Krous, in Picadilly. It consists of several figures of ani- mals, all large as life, formed out of sheets of gold- beater's skin, United together by isinglass, those figures, when inflated with gas, have the buoyance of a balloon, and are so constructed that they maintain in the air a perfect level, pre- serving in their course the natural appearance of the animals which they are intended to repre- sent. Enormous Wen.— A New York paper states that Drs. Dorsey and Hartshorne, in the presence of several medical practitioners and 100 students, recently cut a wen from the back of Julia Rich- ards, a poor black woman, a patient, from Car- hole, PenSylvania, aged 45 years, the dimensions and weight of which were as follows : 2 ft. 11 in.

SAILED.—- Aurora, Strachan; Hawk Packet, Signey -- London, goods. Monday last being Rosley second fair, there was a gre at show of both horses and horned cattle, which were both dull of sale, except a few horses for the cavalry, which were of ready saie ; but the horse fair Was, in the dirtiest state ever remembered, people attempting to cross, stuck fast, and were glad to extricate themselves with the loss of both boots and Shoes left in the mire ; several of the latter remaining there yet. • Monday, being Glasgow Whit- Monday fair, there was a very large show of horses, particularly of the draught kind. Good ones brought high prices. At Berwick fair, yesterday week, there was a larger show of cattle than has appeared for some years past, but. very lew were sold. The sales of. horses were trifling. The hay harvest, from the delightful weather we have experienced, may be reckoned general in a short time — Some few patches in the neighbourhood have been already cut,. The crop will be most luxuriant, and the price may be expected lower than for some years past. have certainly placed no little confidence in the wisdom and moderation of his Royal Highness and his constitu- tional advisers: tbe. means of the country are- now at t! e absolute disposal of the latter ; for should they come for- watd and say— our arrangements for war are on so grand a scale— and it has been deemed so essentially necessary to the honour of the country, that all the troops of e confederation should be taken into British pay, commen - « ing from the period it lias been ascertained - Bonaparte first began plotting in Elba— it is therefore impossible to move, unless you vote us, to make a beginning, one hun- dred millions sterling -. the " guardians of the public purse," in spite of their well- known liberality, might Well stare at each other; but the other- might with great propriety rejoin— Gentlemen, none of your scare- crow faces; is it not on record that you pledged yourselves to support art his Royal Higliness's measures in conjunction with the Allies? the measures his Royal Highness has taken, and which we conceive requisite, cannot be carried into effect, without the sum specified ; and will you falsify your Parliamentary word in the face of all Europe ? You have no occasion to consider the propriety of the mea- « sures taken by his Royal Highness— you have alreadv done that prospectively on a former night; you have vir- tually voted the money, therefore you have nothing to • do now but cordially to agree to the proposition !" It may surprise many, that a Gentleman, whose political sen- timents and actions have been generally in accordance with those of the sound part of the community ( Mr. Grat- who would surely have deemed their services of more moment in the disturbed districts, had any thing like an organized mode of warfare been adopted. REMONSTRANCE is, however, too late ; the die is cast, and we must wait with anxious patience for the issue of the dreadful game. The Carlisle Pitt Club dine together ( in number about 70) at the Coffee- house on Mon- day, after hearing a sermon preached in the fore- noon by the Rev. E. Anderson, from Dan. ii. 20, 21— For other particulars see last page.— The number of the Newcastle Pitt Club, on Saturday, mustered from 90 to 100 strong— the Newcastle papers say they were very dull on the occasion. The following instance of gormandizing has not been often exceeded :— At a public house in this city, 0n Saturday evening, a Yorkshire pack- man proposed, for a trifling wager, to devour 27 eggs in one minute ; which being accepted, he ac- tually broke and devoured that number raw with- in the time specified, and afterwards drank a gal- lon of ale and a glass of gin. Wigton, on Wednesday last, at noon, was visit- ed with the greatest storm of rain ever remem- bered, resembling a water- spout,— accompanied with thunder, lightning, and hail. In a very short time the streets were absolutely inundated with water; insomuch that the passengers of the coach between Whitehaven and Carlisle were obliged to have recourse to the expedient of a form, upon which they walked from the coach into the inn Several cellars were so much flooded, that the furniture was floating, but for- tunately no very material injury was sustained. There is now growing in the garden of Mr. Thos. Fenwick, Maryport, a flower called the Hen- and- Chickens; it is of the daisy species, pretty large, from the edge of which, on stems about an inch long, are 18 small, perfect daisies. Amongst the minority who voted for Lord George Cavendish's amendment against the war, we perceive the names of Lord Morpeth, M. P. for the county of Cumberland, and Sandford Graham, Esq. M. P. for Cockermouth. The public are already informed that the very oppressive extra tax upon Newspaper advertise- ments has been for the present postponed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It would be un- just to omit mentioning that Lord Morpeth, M. P. for the county, and Henry Fawcett, Esq. member for the city of Carlisle, who were applied to on the occasion, gave every assistance in their power to represent in its proper light a measure so ruinous to individuals, and eventually so injurious to the public.— Our worthy member for Carlisle, in particular, had more than one confer- ence with the Minister ; and we have reason to suppose that his representations were not unat- tan) should on this occasion have lent the support of his splendid eloquence td the support of war, and deserted that phalanx with which he was used to co operate. That Mr. Grattan or any other person, should reject the tram- mels of party, and be influenced only by his sober judg- ment, is to us a matter of gratulation ; but it must ever be a source of poignant grief, when suspicions are cxcited ( and the advocates of freedom are very jealous of her pu rity), that men who have shone with distinguished lustre at " burning and shining lights"— , " To guide the vessel 0n her devious way, " Midst blackest gloom to pour tbe light of day"— That such men, we say, should be so much as suspected ot political desertion. By it, corruption recruits her ex- exhausted strength— and the people, disgusted with all pa- triotic profession, and even suspicious of action,— link in- to an apathy that gives opportunity to the vigilant enemy of liberty to rob them of the last remnant of their rights, j HOWEVER brilliant in language was Mr. Grattan's speech, yet it failed to make any converts amongst hi. old friends. It was, indeed, sonorous to the ear, and calculated to awaken the passions; yet still it was but as MONDAY, MAT 29.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY— On Monday the 22d ult. in consequence of information, a person, of the name of Dunlop, was seized at Newton Stewart, as the carrier from Glasgow to that place was delivering to him a parcel. The prisoner u as- taken before E. Boyd Esq. of Merton Hall, and others ; wit re, on examination, the parcel was found to contain sixpences and shillings, of base metal, to a great amount; and which, it appeared from the invoice, were charged at the rate of 4d, each., Immediately after Dunlop hud been com- mitted, intelligence was dispatched to Glasgow ; and on the Wednesday thereafter a house in Cen- tre- street. in that city, was surrounded Upon reaching the garret story, nine people were found, most' actively engaged in the manufacture of 6d Is. Is. 6d. and 3s. coins, in all stages. The persons engaged were taken to the Council- cham- ber, with several loads of manufactory, as also a large basket of old silver, consisting of spoons and plate of every description, all bearing different marks. They were immediately advertised for inspection, bearing every appearance of being stolen. It appears by their papers, that they have agents in a great many parts of the country, and that the circulation is not less than from three to four thousand within this last twelve- month. The town of Stirling has petitioned against the | corn- laws. The signatures amount to 2768. j On Sunday afternoon, the prisoners in Glasgow gaol attempted to make their escape by breaking through the wall, but were discovered. At the annual meeting of the preses of the Penny Societies in Air and neighbourhood ; from a report of the disbursements of twenty- four, appears that the sum of six hundred and eigh - seven pounds, thirteen shillings and ten- pen have been expended by them in the last t. we months, in support of their sick and in burying their deceased members. The Dowager Lady Ramsay has established a lace school in Edinburgh, which is the first manu- factory of that kind in Scotland, and in which a considerable number of females are already em- ployed. " sounding brass and the tinkling cymbal;"— not a particle of argument did it contain— it was all assumption and de- clamation; and no way calculated to work upon sober judgment. The people must have something more sub- stantial than frothy declamation before they agree to give irt exchange their millions and, tens of millions; and my . Lord Castlereagh, too, though he has brought forward Upon paper one million and eleven thousand men to secure Bo- naparte ( we wonder whence the Noble Lord could have enlisted so many men in a personal quarrel), he ought to have informed us, before entering into a war, which may possibly be extremely disastrous, that he had commissioned Dr Gall and Spurzeim to inspect the cranium of Napo- leon, and that they had found it crammed with the ele- ments of interminable hostility. The elements, however, of interimiable hostility, we are rather inclined to believe, exist in those who affect the principles of that great leader tended with that effect which his undisputed knowledge of general trade, and the interests of the country, as connected therewith, deserved. We understand that the parties concerned in the elopement from Berkely- square, London, to Gretna- green, mentioned in our last Journal, have all come to an amicable understanding. BIRTH.

E'eanor, Doyle; Endea all the germs of future war, and rapine, and destruction when it is their interest that he Should be such a charac- ter as their fancy represents — It is not denied, that the French soldiers. have been bred to war, and that they make a trade of it too ; but let it be considered what it was that metamorphosed the French citizen into a soldier. It was unjust aggression against his territory, and the liber- ties of that constitution in the formation of which he had a share, that compelled him to buckle on the harness, and at length modelled his whole soul into military habits: and, in order to destroy this spirit, gentlemen would bring forward those very means which first brought it into ac- tion. To destroy this military spirit, nothing more is re- quisite than to let it evaporate in the sun- shine of peace. By degrees, the turbulent soldier would be assimilated with the mass of citizens— their interests would be iden- tified, and the more solid glory of useful arts and benefi- cial improvements would give employment to that energy of mind which was wont to be exerted in schcmes for the destruction of his fellow- men.— Ministers, however, have declined the experiment, and thrown down the gauntlet of defiance; and if not crushed at the first onset ( of which the first invasion of France affords no very fa. vourable omen), no human calculation can predict how long the contest may be prolonged, or how it may ter- minate. BUT these Eleven Millions one Thousand men,— is it probable that they will fight with the same enthusiasm now as when they followed Napoleon into his own terri- tory It can scarcely be believed they will:— at the for- mer period they were animated with a sense of national injury, and a desire of personal revenge; both of which feelings are necessarily wanting on the present occasion, when they are the aggressors. Besides, what is the stuff of which these armies are composed ! What is their mo- ral strength ? Amongst them do we not find Poles, whose hopes of political independence have been blasted by the assumption of the title of King of Poland by Alexander ; of Saxons, who have been forcibly incorporated with Prussia; of Italians, who have been enslaved by Austria — and all of whom have openly manifested their tuibu- lent disposition. The advocates for war do indeed reckon upon the Vendean Insurrection; but it appears to be scarcely of more consequence than the late riots in Lon- don about the Corn- Bill, when the metropolis was sur- rounded by some thousands of soldiers of the line; and yet no one dreamt that the existence of the Government was at stake, though the Parliament House itself was pro- tected by an armed force. Our Ministers plume them- SElves on raising a rebellion in France, when they are only exciting a noisy faction by scattering amongst them hand- fu's of gold— That this is the real state of the case is in a manner confirmed by the crowds of emigrants who arrive , here, for the purpose of proceeding to Louis XVIII. and Launched a few days ago from the building- yard of Messrs.

There was ( so Chaucer hands the story down) A good old man, the parson of a town. Neatly array'd in humble sab e weeds, And poor in purse, but rich in holy deeds ; Pure was his heart, and able was his head, Deep- vers'd in hooks, but most in Scripture read. True to the text, his doctrine would he preach, And each parishioner devoutly teach Without the help of puzzling gloss absurd,— Benign in thought, and affable in word. Of heart undaunted, in demeanour mild, A man of God, but of the world a child. Few minutes from his office would he spare; His patience only could surpass his care, Thro' frequent trials of distress approv'd,— Distress— true touch- stone of the faith he lov'd. full loth was he, although he wanted shoes, To breathe anathemas for unpaid dues But rather from his own domestic store With pious hands reliev'd the parish poor. Tho' much he gave, on little wont to live. He only liv'd that many more might live. Wide was his parish, and the houses stood Asunder ; yet thro' thunder, hail, or flood, At morning by the dawn, or ev'ning late, He Steer'd his journey to the sick man's gate; Unchecked by fevers of infectious rage, He walk'd -. staff sustain'd his awful age. The good example to his flock he brought. That first he gave, and afterwards he taught. . To the EdiTor of the CARLISLE jounAL. THE BALANCE OF POWER. THE PITT DINNER. Cock- lane Ghosts, Bottle Conjurors, South Sea Bubbles, pretended Prophets, Prophetesses, and Shilohs. have in their turn'worked upon the cre- dulity of the English nation ; but never was the public mind longer haunted with a chimera, than with the Balance of Power ; a term which may mean something or nothing,— which is a nose of wax— a tub to amuse the leviathian of the people — a feather to tickle the nostrils of a ***** or a handle wherewith to pump up golden showers into the capacious reservoirs of the Treasury- Before the reign of the Third William, Eng- lishmen were not acquainted with these cant terms ; but no sooner did the predilection of that, monarch for continental affairs drag this country into the mire of German squabbles, than we also became acquainted with the blessed utility of a National Debt; and succeeding sovereigns pur- suing the same line of policy, au immensity of blood and treasure was expended for interests which were any thing but British. Though we really had nothing more to do with these conti- nental wars than with the wars in the moon, the people beheld them with complacency : our sim- ple islanders were taught to believe, that they were a great continental power, and that it, only re- quired their cast- weight in the political balance to make it preponderate on what side they pleased. National vanity is easily deceived; but vanity and poverty are very incongruous yoke- fellows, and ! the cheat was at length detected by the vulgar, when they had found that they had " paid too dear for their whistle." On Monday last was celebrated at the Coffee- house, in Carlisle, the second Anniversary ( since the establishment of the Club) of the Birth day of Mr. Pitt. In the morning a sermon was preached bv the Chaplain of the Club to its Members at the Cathedral, illustrative of the benefits de- rived to the country from that immortal man's political talents and virtue'. And at 4 o'clock, in the afternoon, the company re assembled ( well- prepared, no doubt, by the morning's discourse and their sojourn in the cool appe- air of the Cathedral) at the Coffee- house, to finish their devotion at dinner. The meeting, I understand, at the latter part of the service of the day, was numerous and select, the dinner excellent ( fit even for a ministers palate), the wine old and sound, pleasing to the taste, without danger to the head after its effect!; and the business, in general, as to the hunt;, music, songs, speeches, £ cc. usual on such occasions— quite the thing all being conducted with the Utmost order, regularity, and good humour. I own I am rather surprised that a club of this sort was not thought of sooner, though not at all astonished at seeing so large a one now formed. For in almost every association of this description but few of its members are actuated solely by the identity of their own principles with those of the person whose memory the club is designed to immortalise; some being actuated by the false lustre of Mr. Pitt's reputation,— some rebounding into it from their horror of what they suppose to be jacobinism,— some ( and those not a few) having no opinion of their own, but floating with tile opinion of the generality of well- meaners, — and some ( and neither do these form an inconsiderable number) not caring a groat for either party,, but drawn in by the irresistible influence of a good, hearty, luxurious dinner, and a skin full of wine to settle it. I myself, however, am not one of any of these descrip- tions of men and though I respect Mr. Pitt's talents, I am far from applauding his principles, and I shall take the liberty of making a few remarks on the present occa- AN ENQUIRY Into the Causes which Impede ( he Progress of CHRISTIANITY, j IN modern Europe. When we survey the beautiful system of reli- gion promulgated by Jesus Christ— its tendency to promote the happiness of man in an infinitely superior degree to any other system prior, con- temporary, or subsequent,— and when we consi- d. r the complete disinterestedness of its author and his co adjutors; much astonishment is excited by the virulence with which it has been attacked in modern times. I restrict my observation to modem times'; because the ancient opposition may be accounted for trom the confliction of ex- j isting, or scarcely exploded, religious opinions— That a believer iii the religion of ancient Rome should oppose the religion of Christ gn excite no surprise; neither will our knowledge of human nature suffer any such feeling to be excited by the opposition of persons who were interested in the continuance of the former. But when we find in modern times men ofgreat learning and mental endowments, w ithout, un in- clination cither front belief or in terest to any other svestm, virulently ^ attacking that of the gospel; with which we are furnished. For a considerable time I have eyed, with mingled emotions of pleasure aud pain, the pro- gress of Sunday Schools— with pleasure, that so much has already been effected— with pain, that so much. after all, remains unaccomplished. Con- vinced of the general utility of such praise- worthy institutions, the public, whenever solicited, gene- rously bestow pecuniary support; but are ex- tremely parsimonious, except in a few solitary instances, of their personal countenances. The present number of active characters employed these meritorious engagements' would be more adequate to the charge they piously undertake, Were they more frequently animated by the pre- sence of serious intelligent VISITORS. Teachers, as well as scholar, often need encouragement. the task is arduous— the treatment they not un- usually receive, both from parents and children, rude and ungrateful. The friends of Sunday Schools are invited to visit occasionally the different places where the young are assembled for. instruction ; and not merely to gratify an idle curiosity, but with ; i view to ascertain aud advance the children's religious improvement. The commendations or censures of visitors generally make deep impression on the minds, of youth; and are carefully reported to their parents. Does not this consideration present an. excellent medium of instruction to parents? Through the child the message of salvation may be conveyed to the father— the mother. On! that parents were more suitably impressed with the great advantages such establishments supply;- and that they would more steadily and earnestly unite their energies and prayers with those who are so disinterestedly concerned for the temporal and eternal welfare of their helpless offspring. SIR - In the year 1793 the late Edmund Burke ( an Irishman) deserted the friends of freedom in England, and joined in Parliament the late Mr Pitt and his adherents. The price of his defec- tion was a pension of £ 4000 a year for himself and wife during their joint and separate lives, with remainder to their son during his lite. In 1815 Henry Grattan ( another Irishman) in a similar manner joined the ranks of ministry: what sum he will gain for his dereliction of prin- ciple the next Red Book will probably unfold.— We trust, the abandonment of the cause of free- dom by such men as Grattan and Plunkett ( the latter of whom, it is reported, is to be appointed Chief Justice of Ireland) will not be attended with such direful consequences to the civilized world Burke's defection; for it ma y properly be said, that Burke's pension caused the death of Seven Millions of Human Beings ! AN INDIGNANT ENGLISHMAN. To the EDITOR of the CARLISLE JOuRNAL. MR EDITOR— Being but a miller, or grinder of corn, it may be thought presumption in old Dusty to begin the scribbling of paper, as the principal part of my occupation is to wave grist to my mill, and then to look sharply after the moulter or toll. ' Having occasion to attend different markets, and sometimes to be in the public- houses; I saw in some of them a paper stuck up, called a Pro- spectus of a Newspaper. I read it; but, never ha- ving got more education than a miller's, I could not understand it perfectly. I applied to a gen- tleman present, who informed me that the Jour- nal spoke the truth too plainly, and that you were going to undermine a great building by this open work of yours; viz. Parish Faith;— and it was thought prudent to establish a new Paper ( your Paper for some time had been holding forth the dreadful consequences of the Tithing system, the Property Tax, the Corn Bill, & c.); that this new Paper should prove to occular demonstration that the tithing system created industry in farmers— that the property tax would enrich every indivi- dual in the nation, — and that the corn- bill would so operate, that, no poor man would be found in any parish ; and in course wc should get rid of poor rates. Well, Sir, I was quite delighted with my infor mant, insomuch that I had another pint; while he further said, that the first thing that would be present to our eyes in this new Paper would he such an Ode as never graced the natal day of oar beloved Sovereign for loyalty, & c. aud that Peter Pindar could never cope with our modern hard ; while whole columns would be filled weekly with Coke upon Lyttleton, comments on Burns and the poor laws,— the remainder being princi- pally Occupied by whole bodies of divinity, reli gious biography, and theological discussions; so that it would be what has been wished for in this county, a truly edifying and instructive paper I had listened with such serious attention that I had formed a resolution to become a subscriber when an old plain man entered, and solicited both our subscriptions for the above Paper, rather abruptly — and, before he could receive an an swer, he backed his solicitations by informing us that three of my neighbours had promised to sub- scribe. I was determined to hear their senti- ments ere I proceeded further; and went to the richest first, a man of considerable landed pro- perty and extensive trade. He said he knew no- thing of the merits of the Paper, but a corn dea- ler had recommended it, as the Journal struck at the root of the monopolizing business. I told him what I had heard: he replied that the tithe- ing business should be hated as the devil, and the property tax was the most oppressive possible; but he thought the corn- bill was a beneficial thing. I applied to the second : he proved to be the lessee of the parish tithes; and i verily believe he had very comfortable pickings out of them " Why," said he, " the Journal is very right, in general, in its system of politics, but the fellow will intermed- dle in what do'nt concern him— he wishes to rob the church of its due, and to do away with tithes." Aye! aye! says I to myself, I see that interest rules the roast; so I'll not trouble myself by cai ling upon my third neighbour, who had been for some time lin ed to collect the different taxes ; so I concuded by resolving to judge for, myself, by perusal of the new Paper in Question— recol- lecting the old proverb, " the proof ot the pud din, is in the eating." Yours, & c. Banks of Derwent. May24, 1815. OLD DUSTY. then, as I before observed, much astonishment is excited. Whatever nii^ ht be the opinions enter- w tained of the nature of its origin, one might think P that its tendency to improve the state of human c existence would command unlimited approbation. " But so far from it is the. actual state of the case, 11 that we find the merciful religion of J. jsus has re- c ceived, from thv pens of the witty and the learn- ed, severer philippics than have been provoked 1 by the bloody superstitions of ancient Rome and modern Constantinople. From this consideration an important question 1 arises, viz. What are the causes that impede the I1 progress of Christianity amongst the nations of I1 Europe, where it is declared to be the religion of c the stat.'? ' So evident is the inconsistency of men wishing to oppugn that which is necessary for their wel- ' fare ( 1 do not mean acting contrary to it), that ' the fact has not Wanted a sufficiency of cotnmen- 1 tators. These have generally referred it to the ' influence of VAnITY. This explanation I cannot 1 think satisfactory. Vanity, notwithstanding we ' have the contrary opinion of the religious Satirist, is a vaceillatirig principle of action; and, with the exception of personal decoration, is seldom seen steadily to pursue; one path : and the exception which I have named is, perhaps, chiefly caused by perpetual change of nourishment. Besides, we find this unfortunate enmity to exist often ! during the period of honest ingenuous youth; j when the soul scorns a bribe, and purposes to it- I self to pursue the path of rectitude unawed and | unreduced I think we must look further for the causes of the phenomenon; though we need not look deeper: they seem to me to rest upon the surface. Formerly, even not long ago, punishing the enemies of Christianity was thought to be a work acceptable to God. That absurdity has died away; but laws are still in existence, and occa- sionaliy enforced, against those who attack Chris- tianity in writing. The evil tendency of such laws in creating doubts, in increasing them where they exist, in enlisting the generous feelings on the side of the enemies of Christianity, and, by the principle of the association' of ideas, predis- posing the mind to receive impressions uutavour- able to Christianity, need not be dwelt on. I have consulted the elegant apologist for the laws | of England for an excuse for these under con- sideration ; I find in his Commentaries that " Chris - j tianity is part of the laws of England." We uni t needs pity the gentlemen of the long robe: their sufferings, until conscience is totally obliter- ated, and their subsequent state of existence as automata, moved only by interest, are equally de- plorable. That the religion of love requires not the aid of the violence of men, we need not quote texts to prove; we have the whole letter and spirit in proof. It may be objected that the utility of such laws should not be rendered disputable by the au- thority of an anonymous scribier. The objection is well made, and shall not be overlooked in the sequel. Carlisle, May 3lst, 1815. A. B. ( To be continued.) In my last communication I ob « erve tbe words the two la.- t," instead of," the last two." Were arguments and directions necessary, I would recommend an attentive perusal ol an ap- propriate Tract among the Religious Tract So- ciety, No. 34, entitled " The Instruction of tho Rising Generation in the Principles of the Chris- tian Religion recommended." Or the energ.' tic exhortation lately addressed to parents by " The Carlisle Sunday School Committee" may ue read to advantage. Visitors should endeavour to stimulate teachers to still greater exertions— they should embrac;. the favourable opportunities that occur for drop- ping a hint, that might be improved ' to the parents of the child— They should cherish the diligent, reprove the indolent, commend and reward good behaviour and regular attendance. By such personal intercourse, visitors would be come intimately acquainted with the scholar.-,, whose conduct, during the intervals of school, thev might more generally watch than their teachers alone could find practicable; Were' sh. ch inspec- tion more usual, we roi^ ht then perceive the / ittui of pious labour in the orderly, respectful ' beha- viour of children iu the street ; instead of that shameless impertinence so commonly witnessed. In short, let Sabbath Schools be more regularly visited— teachers more zealously encouraged— scholars, and, through them, their parent- i, moie affectionately exhorted— our intercessions with heaven more frequent, and more fervent— then, instead of hearing the voice of daring impreca- tion in our streets, we may hear the " same voice employed in humble supplication— in gratefu' praise, in our worshipping assemblies. Ilere would my observations clo.- e were chi drcn tile only open violators of the duties of tin Sabbath; but alas 1 Adults of all ages, in thi, respect, most glaringly transgress. Were a gene ral Adult School instituted, might we not reason ably anticipate pleasing consequences would b realized - and would we not have solid grouiu for expecting a change of moral habits anion; those to Whom the Sabbath, from their having n relish for reading— no spiritual appetite for di vine things, appears so great a weariness ? Woul not the donation of a bible, to a person advance to maturity, be considerably enhanced were mean for acquiring the ability to read it suitably pre vided ? r The subject of Adult Teaching may, perhap: shortly be resumed by " It is worthy ( by the way) of remark, that not- withstanding our forwardness to arrest what we termed the encroachments of ambition, our exer- tions were chiefly, if not solely, directed against France ; as if no other nation but her ever shewed any symptom of unjust aggrandisement-. To par- ticularize one instance— What steps did we take ! to prevent the partition of Poland ? In that in- famous affair there was no complaint made that the equipoise of power was injured: oh! no ; ., France was no party to that confederation— she < was not aggrandized thereby, and therefore it was ; 1 not necessary to interfere.— So much in explana- tion of the principle which has directed and still directs, the cry about the Balance of Power, and which contain as much sense as did the Notting- ham cry of " No Popery." The war, consequent upon the French Revo- lution, did not absolutely originate in the old pre- text ; but, in its progress, it totally unhinged the old governments, and gave to Europe a new form. Though the pretended demoralizing and anti- monarchial principles, upon which the confederate Kings had grounded their appeal to arms, no lon- ger existed ; yet in the political pantomime the scene- shifters displayed their skill; Harlequin Demoralizer and King- Killer was, by the flourish of a pen, transformed into Giant Grumbo, who could eat a kingdom to his breakfast— and the cries of Preservation of the Balance of Power were intermingled with the din of arms. However valid this doctrine might be, when applied to the continental states, it was clearly not referable to this country. We wielded the tri- dent of Neptune— we had nearly all the colonies of the world in our possession— and from our in- sular situation we were invulnerable to outward aggression. But the idea of the Balance of Power still haunted us: we feared lest Napoieon Bona- parte should drag our island to the opposite coast, and devour it and its contents; and whilst that Chieftain was heaping up kingdoms into one scale, we endeavoured to make the other preponderate by pouring in stores of gold. Vain projects on both sides!— Bonaparte had assimilated a mass of discordant materials, by attracting to a common centre the particles re- pulsive and bad governments had thrown off. In his extended empire some of the general princi- ples of good legislation were apparent— au un- bounded toleration of all religions, civil rights, an equal administration of the laws. But he paid little or no regard to the interests and feelings of individual parts, and by one vast plan of wound- ing us in the most sensible manner by annihilating all commcrce amongst the states dependent upon him, he separated himself from what is the ruling principle of mankind— self- interest; and the vast fa- bric of his ambition crumbled into dust. Whilst this country had the mortification to see ( after the germ of Bonaparte's folly had produced its fruits), - that its lavish expenditure of blood and treasure was not rewarded with those advantages which had been fondly anticipated After their late experience, one cannot be sufficiently astonished to see the continental Princes yet place their confidence in a system which is precarious and futile, rather than on the principles of justice to others, aud of wise legisla- tion at home. By the former ambition is disarmed of its pretexts for conquest, and, as no jealousy -- excited amongst neighbouring states, so, in case of aggression, they will be eager to obtrude their assistance, as in a common cause; whilst, by having consulted the happiness of his people, u King will find a zealous and devoted soldier in every subject. This is the true Balance of Power, and is consonant to the enlarged ideas of Mr. Fox — that nothing could be politically right which was morally wrong." States can only be free from the shock of revolutions so far as they adapt themselves to this standard. And though, ac- cording to the system chalked out by Mr. Pitt, and deemed by some a master piece of state po- licy,— the larger powers have engorged the smal- ler ; it is to be feared they will find to their cost, j ,; and when he had thus at last Lit him, boasting sion. J tt The political life of Mr. Pitt was, as tbe Chaplain ob- served, certainly distinguished by two .: but in saying this I do not wish to be understood as exactly co- inciding tu opinion thereon with the Reverend Gentleman. The two,- aeras I mean are not his two aeras— they are not marked by actions springing from an uniformity of principle;— . they are distinguished by his abandonment of one, his adoption of another and an opposite line of conduct,. ; 15 The beginning of Pitt's life was noted by a profession of very different principles to those of the latter part of it In the outset, gifted with extraordinary eloquence, and schooled in political knowledge under the fostering care of his immortal lather, he seemed to possess also his prin- ciples. Like him he was the firm friend o. f justice, huma- nity, and freedom, and the stern enemy and reprover of corruption. He was then great indeed ; aud had he con- tinued to run in the same course, his name would deser- vedly have lived for ever, sacred as the restorer of his coun- try's decaying rights and liberties. But alas! the expecta- tions the. friends off freedom were doomed to be blighted; and those talents, which once seemed to promise the re- newal of the vigour of our constitution,— by one of the most unaccountable derelictions of every principle came to be employed in striking the roots of corruption and ( arbitrary power still deeper into the palladium of British liberty. Yes! whether alarmed by unfounded fears of a repetition in England of the revolutionary scenes then commencing in France, or corrupted by ambition and an insatiable lover of power, he consented to abandon the principles which his father's example had consecrated, and to accept the guidance of the helm ot state : he consented to accept, iu justification of his politic d measures, the; sanction of a branch of tile legislature which fie himself had declared infamously corrupt; and he now opposed, and endeavoured to bear down, all those who, unlike him- self, had been guilty ( in his eyes) of the sin of political consistency, iu firmly abiding by the principles tiiey had get out with. Had he, however, contented himself with simple opposition to the progress of freedom, England ; might still have saved her self. But lie did not rest here : he had lost the good opinion of many of his former ad- mirers, and he uow sought to indemnify himself for that ' loss in the gracincation of his lust of power. Young and presumptuous, confident in his own talents, and elated with , he height oil which he found himself placed, he began his career of bloodshed by rashly invol- vmg his country, then at the gre. tcst pitch of prosperity, in a contest with France. ' He saw her struggling with despotism, determined to be free. He saw her throwing off the trammels of arbi- . trary power, and discarding a government famed for its corruption; and, fearful of the extension of principles which he had once commended, but which were now be- come his dread, he trembled for his own safety He was alarmed lest the people ol England, awakened to a just sense of their rights, should overturn the systen of cor- . ruption, of which lie was now become the father and si'. p- porter; and he saw no hope ot escape but in diverting j their attention and inflaming their passions. Actuated by j this, and iii hopes, perhaps of sharing in the spoil ot dis- j membered France, he joined a- coalition of despots, and committed England in a crusade against liberty ; pre- sumptuously supposing that France, in her then convul- sed state, would become an easy couqucst, or that the restoration of social order needed only the presence of a powerful army of mercenaries. Every one knows how his hopes were Wasted— how his schemes were dissipated by the victorious republicans. Upon the conclusion of peace, after a war of nine years' duration, in which Brittim was much exhausted, what was the state of affairs I We had spent millions, and mortgaged ourselves to an enormous amount : we had undergone many privations, and made sacrilices lor which one- half ol France would scarcely have compensated tis i we had rendered that nation more powerful; than she had ever been in extent of territory, population, and military character; and. Instead of the revolutionists and jacobins, to extirpate whom we went to war, we had created a great military power, and exalted the fortunes of a man, terrible for his talents in the direction of that power, and for his hostility to us. It is . true that in such a state of things tranquillity could not long continue ; and accordingly the peace was soon broken,— by whom I will not decide, it being a point in dispute; but our Conduct concerning Malta was certainly not defensible. Upon this, Mr. Pitt, who had resigned, in despair no doubt of being able to conclude a lasting treaty, and who was probably the adviser of another ap- peal to arms, was again called to tbe helm ; and, from that time till his death, he continued to drain tbe country ol its money, increase the national debt, and spill oceans of the blood of our youth, without any other effect than that of encreasing the already enormous power of France at the expence of her liberties; and his death was no doubt ac- celerated by the anguish of mind occasioned by the ill success uf his measures He has now been dead nearly 10 years, and yet some have contended that his principles, surviving him, have mainly contributed to the late downfall of Bonaparte. When I hear this I think immediately of a fellow firing at an enemy for a length of time with so little success as to embolden him to come and peep in at the muzzle of his. that this is not the true way to " secure the re- pose of the world." These states have been for ages recognized as independent and sovereign— to their new masters they will bring discordant ideas, habits, prejudices, and feelings; and it will be scarcely possible, even iu a long lapse of time, to mould their native characteristics into any like the same form as those with whom they are in- corporated, so as to form a firm bond of union throughout the whole. In times like the present, the policy of the Allies with respect to the smal- ler states does appear calculated to furnish food for new political volcanoes— to break forth when : c.' port- jni^ y shall favour the explosion. Z. his skill in aiming. For I firmly am of opinion, that it was the enormous ambition and presumptuous confidence ia his fortune and resources, arising from a view of the unrivalled success of his arms, and the immense power which France had obtained by her enthusiastic Valour in resisting the coalitions which Pitt had formed against her, which urged Bonaparte to undertake the mad expedition to Russia, which undoubtedly first sapped his power; and I am inclined to believe, that had that disastrous SeaSOn not cut off his armies, or had he not attempted the inva- sion at all, Mr. Pitt's principles would have been ef no avail against him. in short, I think that Napoleon him- self was the artificer of his own ruin, and that if Pitt's principles had any thing at all to do with him, it was not in overturning but in electing him,— those principles being the seeds of the war, and that war being the steps bv which Bonaparte ascended the imperial throne, To the EDITOR of the CARLISLU JOURNAL.
