tonishment and concern that the oaths they have taken, and meritorious actions they have performed, are deemed insufficient to secure them general confidence, entreat their Countrymen to peruse some unanswerable documents of their Civil and Religious Principles, and then to say, whether they maintain a single tenet inconsistent with the purest loyalty. They then present the Oath and Declaration prescribed by the Act of the 31st of his present Majesty, and which is taken by all English Catholics. The Catholic, by this oath, promises to defend the King, to the utmost of his power, against all attempts and conspiracies whatsoever; " And I do swear," says he," that I do reject and detest as an unchristian and impious position, that it is lawful to murder any person or persous whatsoever, under pretence of their being Heretics or Infidels; and also that unchristian and impious principle, that faith is not to be kept with Heretics or Infidels; and I further declare, that it is not an article of my faith; and that I do renounce, reject, and abjure the opinion, that Princes excompunicated by the Pope and Council, or any authority of the See of Rome, or by any authority whatsoever, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or any person whatsoever; and I do "promise, that I will not maintain, or abet any such opinion, or any other opinions contrary to what is expressed in this declaration: that I do not believe that the Pope of Rome, or any other Foreign Prince Prelate, State, or Potentate, hath, or ought to have, any temporal or civil jurisdiction, power, superiority, or pre-eminence, directly or indirectly, with

in this realm."—Then follow the Oaths prescribed to the Irish Catholics, by the Irish Parliament, in the 13th and 14th of his pre sent Majesty, which is exactly similar to the former, except that the Catholic renounces all allegiance to the Pretender.-Another oath relates to an abjuration of the unchris tian doctrine, that it is lawful to murder Heretics; and the address concludes with the answers of the Catholic Universities abroad, to the questions submitted in 1788, as to the existence and extent of the Pope's dispensing power; which were,-1. That the Pope or Cardinals, or any body of men, or any individual of the Church of Rome, HAS NOT any civil authority or power whatsoever, within the Realm of England.-2. That the Pope or Cardinals, or any body of men, or any individual of the Church of Rome, CANNOT absolve or dispense with his Majesty's subjects from their Oath of Allegiance, upon any pretext whatsoever.-3. That there is no principle in the Tenets of the Catholic Faith, by which Catholics are justified in not keeping faith with Heretics, or other persons differing from them in religious opinons, in any transactions either of a pub, lic or private nature.-Now then,..Fellow Countrymen, and Fellow Subjects, say the subscribers, be assured, that among these heroic and inestimable defenders and sup porters of their King and Country, there is not one, whose Parents and Priests have not taught him, that loyalty is a religions, as much as a civil duty; and that, when he is fighting for his King and his Country, he is performing a duty to his God.

18. At Windsor Castle, the Right Rev. Dr. Douglas. Lord Eishop of Salisbury, and chancellor of the order of the garter, in his 85th year. This venerable prolate was one.

•And Douglas is pudding, substantial and plain."

He was at that time canon of Windsor. The literary talents of Bishop Douglas were first evinced in detecting the attempt of Lauder to depreciate the merits of Milton. He vindicated the originality of our illustrious bard, and covered his opponent with confusion. His next performance possessed such merit, as highly to recommend his character, both as a literary man and an advocate, a judicious advocate for Revealed Religion. It was entitled THE CRITERION; in answer to Mr. Hume's Essay on Miracles.-He succeeded Dr. Law in the bishopric of Carlisle, in 1783, and, upon the translation of Dr. Barrington to the see of Durham, was appomted his successor.-The Lords of the Admiralty requested Bishop Douglas to superintend the splendid edition of Cook's Voyages, which his lordship executed with uncommon judgment. His lordship had been long afflicted with the gout, which at last proved fatal. -The death of this bulwark of our churchof a prelate so firmly attached to our ecclesiastical constitution, is a subject deeply to be lamented. The church has lost one of its firmest pillars-the republic of letters, one of its brightest ornaments--society, one of us best friends--literary men in distress, a generous patron-the poor of all descriptions, a father. To sum up, in a very imperfect manner, his lordship's character-He was one who, like the illustrious Titus Vespasian, thought he had lost a day, when he had not performed a good action,

Johu Ponsonby, by Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, daughter of the third Duke of Devonshire; by whom he has left two children, the Countess of Bandon, and Viscount Boyle, now Earl of Shannon.-Before the union, no man possessed greater parkamentary mierest than the Earl of Shannon; insomuch that no vice-regent felt easy on lus throne, until he had secured his lordship's friendship, who was considered a sound pubtician, but no orator.

At Islington, Richard Corrie, esq., in hs 82d year.

Notwithstanding the accumulation of Plantagenet, Bohun, and Stafford heirship, which became centered in Lady Anastasia Stafford Howard, she was disabled by the attainder of her ancestor, the last Stafford Duke of Buckingham, in the reign of King Henry the VIDH, from possessing any of the family diguities, except the Stafford barony. She died without having ever been married. Her heir is Sir William Jerningham, baronet.whose grandmother was sister of the beforementioned William earl of Stafford.
