original Freud * of M . Gregoire , former } y , bishop of Blois . 8 vo . pp . 100 . " Courier . 3 s . 6 cL 1815 . « rriHp good Bishop of Blois , as JP the translator tells us M . Greo-oirfi is familiarly termed , has in this publica tion rendered a new service to the cause of humanity and charity .
By the black slaves no one needs to be told that he means the African neoroes , whose cause he pleads on the broad basis of justice , —but who are tlje white slaves ? No other than the Irish Catholics .
" lyhat ! the son of a black , born in England , shall be admitted , if he be a Protestant , to all municipal rights , while they , shall he unmercifully denied to a white , because he is a Catholic ! " Pp . 60 , 61 .
At this , the liberal Bishop is naturally indignant , and in his confidence in the English character he anticipates tl ^ p period when " by a solemn act , reparation will be made for the accumulated injuries which the
Catholiqs , the Dissenters , and even the Jews have for ages sustained : " ( p . 29 ) in this will consist the true glory of the country ; ' the discharge of this debt would be received as a favour , and would cause no tears but those of
joy ; while the burning of Washington hns drawn tears of grief from all persons of sensibility * " ( p . 80 , 81 ) : nay , further , the Bishop conjectures that" the period is not very distant ,
when govern men ts will , for the most part , be brought to admit the principle , that civil and political rights not being inherently connected with any religious opinions , all that civil authorities can have to do with
different modes of worship , is to prevent them either from being interfered with or from interferin < r with others '"
( P . 76 , 77 ) . In this little work , the Bishop often glances at the unhappy state of his country . He writes wiui the despotism of a government which dreads the press full before his face . Wretched France ! where Truth itself " is
esteemed a contraband article till it Jj as appeared at Hie Custom-lions * of Thought and obtained its passport , after having undergone the arbitrary pipping and shearing of the censorship" ( p . 88 ) .

. Charge to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Norwich . By the Rev . B . Baihurst , JLL . B . Archdeacon of ( Norwich , Rector of North Creak , and of Oby , in the county of Norfolk , and late Fellow of New College , Oxford . Delivered at his Primary Visitation iu May 1 . 815 , and published at the Request v of the Clergy , 4 to . pp . 40 . Stockdale .
ARCHDEACON Bathurst is the son of the venerable Bishop of Norwich , and with great propriety dedicates to his " Dear Father' * this Charge , which is imbued with the same good sense and charitable spirit and unassuming eloquence that have endeared the Bishop to all denominations of Christ inns . If we envy the clergy of our Establishment in any
thing , it is in the ample means winch they possess of gaining the affections of mankind by moderation and cotholicism : happy those of them that like this good father and son . ire at leisure from the pursuits of worldly policy to gain the true and durable riches of public esteem !
Our eulogium on Archdeacon Bathurat is not earned by his surrender of the principles of his Church ; lie boldly vindicates the Establishment : nor by any compliments to the Dissenters ; he sketches the character of their forefathers , the Puritans , in no
black colours , but iit the saine time in no bright ones : we admire in him that which is above all speuulrtfivo truth , and which wiil last when the controversies between particular sec Is will have died away , uaiiidy , evangelical benevolence . We have great satisfaction in concluding this brief article with two short extracts from the Charge : —
