When Mr. Fitzgerald commences by a falsification of what I penned, I can easily imagine with what caution “ every un- prejudiced person” wiil receive his assertions and read his other extracts. :

From the words made use of by Mr. Fitzgerald, I was led to conclude that he most willingly embraced as friends of his who did not belong to the Catholic Church, In

‘fact, I imagine that the only test required to be a good Pro- ltectorife was to hate Popery in right good earnest. He }

‘himself mentioned as soand Protestants heretics that taught | blasphemous doctrine; and if he wishes any meaning to be attached to his words, I think that it will appear evident to “every unprejudiced person” that he was inclined to inglude in the list of Protectorite Protestants all the noxious ‘‘weeds” 'that the Pope has thought proper, during the last eighteen | hundred years, to throw out of his “garden.” Dear Mr. | Fitzgerald’s words: ‘** You are doubtless aware, Mr. Chair- man, that from the primitive times the principles or grand leading truths of Protestantism have ever been one ;—it matters not by what names Christian churches were anciently called—whether Nestorians, or Waldensians, or Armenians, or Syrians—they all had one common origin, One common faith.” The Nestorians, the first on Mr. Fitzgerald’s list, believed in some of the leading truths of Christianity ; so did the heretics 1 mentioned in my first letter. The Nestorians did not believe in ad the leading truths of Christianity ; neither did the other heretics, But, according to Mr. Fitz- gerald, the Nestorians were sound Protestants; therefore, a pari the other heretics were also sound Protestants. I can- not conceive, then, how he can consistently disclaim any connection with the Noetians, Sabeliians, Arians, &c.

Iu my selection of the sects named in my first letter, I was not guided by the peculiar doctrines of any one of them; the fact that they rejected the authority of the Catholic Church, and preferred their own private interpretation of the Seriptures to hers, was sufficient for me. Nor does it matter how near they mizht have been to the church, as long as they were cut off from Ler communion as unsound members of her mystical body. I am glad to perceive that Mr. Fitzgerald is now ashamed of them; and I dare say that ere this he is ashamed of the Nestorians ; and perhaps before loug he will be ashamed of some of those with whom he seems now in close connection; and finally he may be somewhat ashamed of his own conduct. I hope, both for his own sake and for the sake of the peace of society, which he has appeared to endeavour, unwittingly perhaps, to disturb, that he will calmly meditate on his connection with a journal which has already almost attached a stigma to the toleration and christianity of this Island, and that he will make a strong and energetic effort to avoid falling into that abyss of degradation into which he appears to be fast hurrying himself.

Fearing that I have already taken up too much of your valuable space, I must defer till a future occasion the exposing of some of the misstatements of Mr. Fitzgerald.

I remain, Sir, your humble servant,

Sirr,—The Islander of the 30th April says, ‘we have been favoured by a correspondent from Lot 11, on whom we ean perfectly rely, and who was present at the meeting, with a communication on the subject.” The communication sets forth, that the meeting was called by Robert Gordon, of Kildare, which is one out of the many false reports put in circulation by the writer of the communication referred to. Mr. Gordon did not call the meeting, nor did he know of its being called until two days previous to its being held, which can be proved by the majority of the inhabitants of Lot 11, nor was it called to test the feelings of the constituency in regard to re-electing Mr. Warburton,—if it had been for that purpose it would have been more numerously attended.

It is calculated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the expenditure of the financial year will amount to sixty. seven millions, and the receipts to sixty-three millions. #0 European Times says:—* It is some satisfaction to know that this deficiency is not caused by any diminution in the permanent prosperity of the nation, but by old engagementy and the cessation of taxation. In fact, the state of th revenue during the past year, notwithstanding the com mercial crisis, has been highly satisfactory, and shows a com dition of things more encouraging in the aggregate than might have been anticipated.” "

There was an improvement in the Paris Bourse oa the 22d ult., the three per cent. rents having closed at 69 30, being an advance of } per cent. .

It was reported in the afternoon of yesterday, after the fall of Kaiserbagh, that the enemy were streaming out of the city in vast oumbers in the direction of Sandal Camp, Up to the present moment there are rebels in the city, but we have no reliable information, Brigadier Campbell, who was well placed on the left of the Alumbagh position, started ia pursuit, at two this morning, with a very strong brigade of cavalry, and two troops of horse artillery. Bvigadicr-General Sir Hope Grant advaneed te wards Sectapore, with a view of intercepting fugitives who may be turned off by Brigadier Campbell’s movements. He has with him one thousand sabres and two troops of horse artiliery. le will be followed to-morrow by an infantry brigade and a heavy battery. He is directed to halt a Seetapore for instructions.
