Jl determine to set the present Pope aside entirely , and vest the election of the new Pope in themselves , our Catholic brethren of Ireland will feei them-« elvesto be in a very awkward s tuation .
Their vacant bishoprics cannot be nlied up , unless they form their own . council 2 nd elect a Tope for ihemselres- and thes- divisions among the Cav frolics will open the eyes of the blindest of them , convincing them that every congregation of Christians is fully competent oitsowncon .

The Expose , annually given in France , contains an account of the principal transactions of the year , ihegreal works undertaken or executed by the government , the events of wars , the internal concerns of the empire , and every thing that affects its prosperity . The affairs
of the church , form an important feature in this review , and it is not sparing of abuse of ihls country , whose ruin is predicted , as well as the certainty of the subjugation of Spain . The whole , how ever , is a proof of very great exertions on the part of government . The works they have performed or undertaken are
stupendous , and will tend greatly to the improvement ot the empire , and the establishment of a very extensive internal commerce . France , Germany , Switzerland and Italy are now linked together in one common tie , and by means of roads and canals , the produce of each
country is conveyed with great facility over the others . We must not , therefore , roagme that France is without all trade : ™ ehas lost the trade to America , and west India produce must be very £ ear : but her incercour . se with Turkey , Dy means of her Illyriun province , brings 2 Ai CofFee of Smyrna and Moka , and , oitons and si * k of . the Kast ; m the latter article the manufactures ' A-yons far excel oursandhave a ¦

Rome , and a deputation , admitted to the royal presence , tendered the respects of the 'whole body to the child . Such tr fles amuse courtiers and gratify the parents .
They do not talk at Paris as we do , of an approaching-rupture with Russia 5 but , in fact , pursue their own measures , without dread of any interruption in that quarter . Russia affords nothing new ; but its neighbour Sweden , is far from being tranquilisccL This docs
not appear to arise irom any aversion to their crown prince , or any movement in favour of the deposed sovereign . It resembles rather the rioting that took place in this country on the first formation of the mil tia ; and the novelty of the conscrip : ion has excited alarm in several provinces . By all accounts the
riots were easily got over , and the hardy Swede is brought in this respect to the condition of his nei ^ hbuurs . It is to be observed , however , that the conscription is not like our ballot , which chooses a soldier and keeps him so . Every conscribed man has an equal
chance with his neighbour of-riskig to the highest posts ; for they must proceed from the ranks to the higher orders , and it is merit , not wealth , whicji gives preferment . The deposed king has approached nearer to his former dominions , for after a short stay In Heligoland ,, he betook himself to the territory
of Denmark , where he is said to be under arrest . He cannot play the game of his predecessor , Charles the Twelfth , and his antient subjects are not likely to interest themselves in his favour . It

The confusion in Sweden is trifling , when we cast our eyes on the devastations in the South of Europe . Spaim continues to pre-ent to us horrors ; horrors > which are almost equal to those , when she estabhsned her abominable Inquisition , and . gave up to cruel deaths
thousands upon thousands of her children . Tarragona has been taken by storm , and an awful example , according to the trench general ' s words has been made of it : an awful example of the
