FTHHE Court of Common Council JL of the City of London has had a meeting on the subject of the persecution , experienced by the Protestants in France , and have come to the unanimous resolution of addressing the Prince Regent to interfere with his good offices in their behalf . As the Bourbons are so much

Irish Catholic Excommunication . A very extraordinary act on the part of an Irish Catholic prelate , has become the subject of general animadversion in Ireland , and must be heard of with astonishment in this
country . We understand , that the prelate alluded to , took the liberty to excommunicate a Catholic schoolmaster for being a Free Mason , in Consequence of which excommunication , the school-master lost all his pupils , and was reduced nearly to
pauperism , while he was abandoned by his connexions . Such a proceeding must surely be cognizable by the laws of the country , to which , we hope * an appeal will be made by the aggrieved . At all events , we trust that such an alarming instance of ecclesiastical arrogance and gross
illiberality , will not fail to be brought under the notice of parliament . The sufferer in this case may be tampered with by undue means or restrained by sectarian principles from seeking legal redress : but parliament owes it to the country to make some provision against the repetition of such
tyranny , and parliament wilj , we hope , discharge its duty . Our readers will recollect , that one of the first acts of the Pope upon the recent restoration of his temporal authority , was to prosecute the Free Masons—but need we offer any argument , in defence of an institution , comprehending among its members some of the first philosophers and princes on earth , in order to shew that the imitation of the Pope ' s example is not to be endured for a moment wherever the British Constitution retains any influence . The human mind must indeed make extraordinary retrograde motion before the Pope ' s authority can recover such a sway .

all his Majesty ' s subjects , " on pain of suffering such punishment as may be justly inflicted on all such as contemn or-neglect the same , " By order of the Prince Regent , Will
not this be a proper occasion for Congregational Collections on behalf of the suffering persecuted Protestants of France ! Such an use of the day will be welcoming Peace in the true spirit of Peace .
