A short time fornt a verjr flomifc&ing empire . From events abroad of great political importance , in which our country takes so important « i part , we turn to notice , what may appear a trifling- event at Iionie . Yet here might be r # om for much reflection , and connected with the inquiries into the * tate of oiirprisons and mad-honkes and similar abuses , it seems to indicate a spirit , which may lead to much amelioration in government . It is well known how difficult it is to get rid of a prejudice , and it cannot be more strongly exemplified than in the denial of admission to & great body of subjects to one seat of literature in this
kingdom and the enforcement of subscription to a farrago of articles of faith at Oxford On young * students at admission , remains a lasting- blot on the character of the country . A similar prejudice once pievailed with respect to a thateridil article of nourishment . It was for a . long * time
thought necessary , that the manufacturing of corn into food should he put iincter particular regulations under the name of the assize of bread . The impolicy of this measure has been often called into question , and at last the legislature has consented to a tentative , which may lead either to the abolition of the as&are or the fixing of it
upon other principles . When this reaches our readers the assize Will ceas 6 in the metropolis and teii iniles round . The bakers will sell the bread at their own prices , and competition , it isr supposed , will bring- it doivn to a fair stetoaard .

ers have accommodated themsel ves to th chanoe . A hasty judgment is there fore not to be passed on the immediate effeci of the new measure . Let it have a fair trial , and whatever may be the result w have no doubt that in the end the m ? M ; will be gamers .
The extraordinary state of Europe must fill the mind of every Christian , and we cannot better conclude our report than by a quotation from a work of Mr . Bicheuo writ ten in the year 1806 . " The French mav please themselves with the proud idea of universal dominion , but we may ]) e sure that their monarchy however prosperous for the present , will soon go into perdition After having been the instrument in the
hand of proyidence for breaking 1 to pieces the neighbouring governments , or for occasioning- destructive commotions in the surrounding nations , it will itself experience that ruin which is never to be repaired , that awful destruction from which no hand will aguin be able to save it . The events whicti will so suddenly lead to this catastrophe cannot be conjectured . It may be for tt
few years to come the instrument , which God will employ for breaking to pieces the existing anti-chTistian governments , ci * il and ecclesiastical , for pouring upon the nations which have sinned the vials of his wrathj and of reducing them to the last extremity t but like Assyria , the rod of Gods
anger , so t \ ie proud monarchy of France will be broten and trodden under foot « r in the language of the apocalyptic prophecy , will be cast alive into a lake of fire burning * with brimstone . ?>
