* n wbicii the ecclesiastical courts met ¦ with the reprobation , they deserve , aad Sir W . Scott promisrj ^ to . bring in a hill to abolish excommunication , Lord Folkstone withdrc /^ bis motion , and the case of tile poor woman was to lc brought up on a . future day . We ttusi that Lord Folkstone and Sir Samuel
Komill f will keep the it eye upon this question ; and readers who wish to know the nature of ecclesiastical courts , should consult the narrative of the persecution ^ of Hippoli / to Joseph da Costa Ppreira Furtado de Meudonca , with the 4 > Te-laws
of the fnqujsition ar X ^ bon , just published . It teaches us , that the Inquisition is far from being abolished in . Portugal , as the case took pl * ce within -these ten years , and a comparison between the laws of ths Inquisition and those of our courts , will shew the
curious manner , in which Protestantism . has steered its vessel , between the horrid tortures of St ^ Dominjck on the one hand , and true Christian liberty on the Qtfacr . —* Abroad , the state of affairs has not' much varied . Reports are strong of approaching peace between the Turks and Russians . The misfortunes of the
vizir have had a serious effect upon the politics of the falling empire , and the abominable -wickedness of the government , in the horrible massacre of the Marrtlucks at Cairo , has far from
produced the effects its contrivers expected . The expedition against the Wachahites moves on slowly V so that the Turks , exposed to inroads in three quarters of their dominions , are little likely te free themselves from the difficulties of their
situation . —The United States of America hold a language far from pleasing to the lovers of peace , but we prefer this language to the horrors of war . It is better that the malignant passions should evaporate in the war of words , than in the actions of Cain . They speak with
great severity , and too much truth , on the conduct of the contending parties in Europe , but we hoped , that the follies and wickedness of the Old , would be a warning to the New World , not ta pursue the same crooked train of policy . In other respects , the United States seem to

Their population increases / rapidly , their agriculture improves ; and mani | fac ures are making a more rapid progress ihan is dcsireable . All they can wi < h is to let the turbulence of the wicked spirits in Europe go by , and to endure their wrongs for a time rather than involve themselves in
a war , which must tend to ; . he injury of their morals and their freedom ., —Their neighbours , the Mexicans , are far from tranquillity . The pompous language of its viceroy does not secure peace in the interior , and his boas ' ed success has done little more than give him the controul over thecapital , in whichheis almost besieged The Mexicans are following the plan
of the Spaniards in the mother country , and forming guerillas or war-bands in every part , which render extremely difficult all intercourse between the viceroy and the extremity of the province . Everything wears the appearance of final independence ; and in the Caraccas and Buenos Ayr $$ 9 it is almost all but acknowledged . In short , Spanish America
is more and more likely to withdraw if self from the European yoke . As to Spain and Portugal , they go on in nearly thq same state . The English are at their ease in Portugal—the guerillas are harrassing the French in Spainthe Cortez at Cadiz is do » ng nothingdifficulties have arisen between the
English and ihc government there ; theie is a perfect Want of a commanding energy ; and the French are continually increasing their influence and territory . Valeritia is however not yet taken . It is invested on arf sides , and Very little prospect appears of iis being relieved . —In India , the British arms have been very successful . The island
of Java , as far as it was possessed by the French , has submitted , and the troops were made prisoners of war . Batavia is a rich prize , and the French are now excluded . from every port to the east of the Gape of Good Hope . In such a situation , it becomes us more anti more to read the prophecies on Tyre , in the Old Testament , that we may not fall into the same condemnation .
