And again , others were " sent into banishment to the city of the Mahometans , and condemned to serve as slaves . " Wherefore , " as the Christians have always been prosecuted and condemned , the religion has , since these executions , been

    happily abolished ! But in the spring of last year , some English ships in disguise , have passed along the coasts of China , and have distributed some European books ; and as these books exhort to believe and venerate the Chief of that religion , named Jesus , it appears that this religion is the same as the Christian religion ?—which has been persecuted at different times , and banished with all rigour I" Be it known , hereby , that the Chinese have at last discovered the Founder of our religion . But how unfortunate that their first impression should be perverted by an association with our

    State clergy abuses . Behold what it occasions I " To spread the Christian religion in Europe , is to deceive the people . The religion is , in fact , the ruin of morals and of the human heart , and it is on that account , that at all times it has been prohibited , and according to the instructions that our ancestors have transmitted to us , the past is the rule of the present .

The intention to surprise an

    important Carlist station on the morning of the 18 th was abandoned ; the enemy having been apprized of it by signals after nightfall from within the town . Another proof that a set of Carlists , who will foil the most lynx-eyed vigilance , exists in every town in the north of Spain . In this case , the light is reported to have appeared from th , e houso of the chief magistrate ! The matter is undergoing investigation .
