W. at this othe, FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM PHILADELPHIA, IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE, WHAT WILL BE DONE. We have received some important information from Philadelphia relative to the recent riots. It appears by private letters that Governor Porter in- tends to keep what military force he has already concentrated in Philadelphia, and order several more country corps into the city. When this force is sufficiently large, he then contemplates taking possession of the whole of Southwark, seize every cannon in the hands of the mob, and to arrest the ringleaders. He is now determined to strike a decisive blow and put a stop to all future rioting. This information is not only mentioned in private letters, but is foreshadowed in the Philadelphia newspapers of yesterday, extracts from which we annex. We may, therefore, expect warm work before peace is fully restored to the city of brother- ly love. [From Philadelphia Inquirer, July 11.1 We learn that an :mportant demonstration 1s about t@be made by our ci izens, without regard to party feelings or distinctions, and in support of the law and the authorities. An able declaration has been drawn up by one of our purest and most distinguish- ed citizens, in which are embodied views, feeings and principles suited to the crisis. ‘This has aready been signed by a large number of our citizens, and itis probable that in the course of the day thou- sands of additional signatures will be added. A demonstration of this kind cannot but be produc- tive of the best results. Itis the duty of every good citizen to rally to the support of the laws, and to the maintenance of public order. Let the morai feeling—the manly patriotism of the community be manifested in the most unequivocal manner in aid of the authorities, and all will soon be well The eagerness. with which this movement has al- ready been responded to speaks well for the correct feelings of the citszens. The supremacy of the laws must be maintained—the constituted authori- tes must be supported. In cage of riot, ought not some course to be adopt- ed by which the military shall be protected trom an Indian warfare?) Why station naked soldiery in the streets te be fired at, by the hour, from win- dows and alleys? Could not possession be taken at once of all the housesin the riotous vicinity? We pat these questions without professing military knowledge. But we are contident in saying that it is too much to ask of our brave military men that they shall stand unprctected, and receive skulking shots which they cannot return. {From Philadelphia Chronicle, July 11 ‘We understand, upon what we know to be com- petent anthority, that the military force now inthe city is amply adequate to any emergency that can, underany possible state of circumstances, arise The country troops are among the fifiest specimens of citizen soldiery that have ever been witnessed in this city, or perhaps inthe country. It is a striking tuct, that almost every company musters a large) number than at its most successful parade for drill, and all are full of ardor. We have reason to know that the present large force will be increased, and that they will remain under arms so jong as the slightest necessity continues. It isunderstood that the Governor intends, before leaving the city, tc ascertain, viet armis, whether or not the Natives have cannon secreted in the lower sections oi Southwark, and to arrest all and carry off such arms, should any be found. Heap Quanrens, Finst Division, P.M. Pyitavecrnta, 10th July, 1944, i Onpxr No. 38.—The troops stationed at Fifth and Green streets, under Gen. Roumfort ; at the Arsenal, under Maj Keim; the Pendget at their Quarters, and the troops at wey meee, will be put upon drill at least four times each day. Hereafter morning reports of the strength and condi- tion of each corps will be made at or before nine o’clock, A.M. The Major General returns his cordial thanks to the Volun‘eers of Montgomery and Berks counties, and to Capt. Archambault’s troops from Bucks county, ter the generous and svldierlike spirit which induced them tu Erey so promptly to his call for aid. ‘he officers and men are earnestly desired to avoid al) discussion of political, religious or other subjects calcu lated to produce irritation. There must be no discussion between the troops and the citizens. The soldier knowe no sect or party, it being his duty simply to assist in main- taining the laws and supporting the Government. By command of Major General Patterson. J. MILES, A. D. C. This order alone indicates the determination_of the authorities in the matter. [From the Philadelphia Papers, July 11.) The Rioters are boasting, it seems, of their force and immense preparations to destroy the Military, should they dare to venture into the District of Southwark. It is said that they have 22 field pie- ces buried, ready to be taken up and used, and have sloop loads of ammunition in the Delaware waiting their call. It is also said that, having tri umphed so far, over the laws and the civil govern ment, they, are ious for another opportunity to exhibit their prowess, and contemplate some act of violence shortly, in order to draw the troops with- in the line of their field of preparations. This i really too daring, and our citizens are ashamed of this bullying of the authorities. The wish is uni- versally expressed that Gov. Porter will send the whole military force into the distracted district, ar- rest every person found in arms against the author. ities, seize all the ammunition and cannon pre- pared by the rioters, and put in this way an effect- ual end to the rebellion. Until this be done no man will feel secure in his life or property. The Mayor, the Select and Common Councils, and other city officers, yesterday, waited upon Go- vernor Porter in a body, and His Honor the Mayor made a MG AS et speech, highly complimen- 0" tary to the vernor—thanking him in the namc ot the city, for his ae and energy in re- pairing to Philadelp ia to aid in putting own the ruthless insurgents who have broken down all laws and forfeited all claim to respect and confidence The Governor replied, briefly thanking the Mayor for the eee paid, and assured them no act ot hisshould be wanting, at any time, to preserve the lawsunbroken; the Constitutioninviolate. The May- or and Councils did but express the feeling of every good c,tizen in the community. We know that Phil adelphians will ever stand up for the laws, and that they will preserve them if it costs streams of blood to accomplish it, We know that there are bad men in all communities, and that we have them here.— We know, too, that many of the principal actors in the bloody scenes of Southwark are not citizens, properly, of either Philadelphia, or any other place ; men who have nothing at stake, and who would plunder a bank or a dwelling as soon as burn 9 church. The wicked spirits who stimulate these men to riot and blov ished, are more censurable, if thatcan be, than the lawless perpetrators of the acts themselves. _ War THey cal THEM.—As a matter of simple justice and impartiality we have called the persons who were engaged in the rebellious war on the ci- vil authorities in Southwark, the Rioters. The “Sun” (Native) calls them the People ! The “Na- tive American” calls them the Citizens! The Chronicle (Native) calls them the Natives! The Ledger (Native) calls them “ persons opposed to the Native Americans,” in order to deceive distant readers into the belief that they were Catholics, We makeno comment. . The Southwark riot differed from that of Ken- sington in a most important feature. For the for- mer there was—not exactly an excuse, for no ex- cuse can justify a party or a faction in taking the law in its own hands, and, executing summary ven- Seance upon supposed offenders, their friends or relatives—but there was a tangible pretext for vic- lent offence. Inthe latter there was nothing but the base spirit of self-willed, unreasonable religious proscription. There was nothing but a tell deter- mination to exhibit the authority of the mob,wheu sustained by misguided public opinion, in tram, fing upon every right of those who from their weak- ness have been selected for persecution. Ia Kensington, it was charged that certain men fired upon a meeting of peaceable citizens. This was infamous, of course; and it was held by some presses asa very proper species of justice, and emi- nently American, not only to shoot instead of ar- resting the culprits, but also to shoot all in the neigh- borhood who happened to worship in the sama be, while the conflagration of a church or two in a dition ‘Was put into the simple category of re- taliation.” In Southwark, it was only charged that State muskets had been placed, by permission of the civil authorities, in a church for its defence, and that @ sight of those muskets were offensive to certain individuals because they indicated a will to preserve at least one Christian Sanctuary from the fate of those of St. Michael and St. Augustine. The diflerence is obvious. We gaid before, that pulls Ke cre at moh a time, pewarey legal— ory egality cannot be questioned—however right—ond itarightoounness is Weyond all teasonable NEW YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1844. cavil—was imprudent, impolitic, indiscreet,. Still, this indiscretion gave no authority to the dissatis- fied to coerce in a lawless manner their removal. They could have been removed by due process of law, and if the neighbers indulged in apprehensions at their presence, the nearest magistrate could readily have put them in the way of getting rid of the evil. They haa no right to arrogate to them- selves the prerogatives of the law, and assume the power to violate the law, to mollity their fears or Sratify their sectarian inclinations. The military in our city at present are very nu- merous indeed, and increasing constantly by rein- forcements. They are sufficiently strong, we think, for almost any emergency, and are determined, we are assured, to remain oa the ground until tranquil- lity isperfectly restored. We are plensed to see that the public feeling, too, has, within the past twenty-four hours, completely changed in tone to- wards our brave defenders. But few voices are now heard declaiming against them (out of South- wark), and even the press, with two incendiary exceptions, speak loud-mouthed in their tavor. The mob immediately after the first fire ot the military ia Southwark, on Sunday evening, broke into the basement of the Commissioners’ Hall, and succeeded in getting possession of a portion ot the arms that were taken out of St. Philip’s Church The Junior Artillerists, under the command of Captain Drayton, sent to seize the arms and ammu- nition, were auton vee the rioters, and took the loaded muskets and a eg of powder. Dr. Bunting, surgeon to the City Trvops, left the command, when the soldiers were wounded with brickbats, to go to the Commissioners’ Hull to pro- cure some adhesive plaster. Having his umform on, and bearing a resemblance in the dark to Gen Cadwallader, he was visleatly seized by some of the exasperated mob, and but for his being recog nized by a number of the rioters, would have bee: torn to pieces. A desperate man struck him in the face twice, and drew his sword from the scabbard which the Doctor has never since seen. Tu the great battle on Sunday night, Gen. Cad- wallader wanted a company to volunteer to re: move, some obstructions that had been thrown across the street by the mob, and which prevented the cavalry from charging upon a piece of cannon the rioters had stationed at Fifth and Queen streets Captain Fuirlamb, of the Wayne Artillery, prompt- ly offered to execute the order, and did it, marching his gallant corps up the strect with a full front, while the gun of the enemy was pointed at him only afew rodsin advance. The riot in Southwark is over. | Yesterday after- noon the magistrates of the district delivered the keys of the Church of St. Philip into the hands of the congregation, the peace police were discharged, and a day and a night watchman selected to take care of the building. About $200 will cover the damage done to the Church by the inob. On Sunday evening, abou’ seven o’clock, the troops having arrived on the ground, the Cadwal- lader Gteys, under Captain Scott, were detailed to elear Queen street, between the church and Se- cond street. The citizens who had charge of the church, had marched arm in arm down Queen, and turning to the right, had passed down Second street till the last row was fairly off the scene of uot, when a numberof men, principally underage, armed with bludgeons and stones, pressed forward on the military. Gen. Cadwallader, seeing the op: position at the corner, ordered Captain Hill’s com- pany of City Guards to the assistance of the Cad- wallader Greys, and the two companies, after great difficulty, succeeded in clearing out the street to the Second street line. ‘The mob grow- ing more violent, no longer contented itself with abusive and insulting language, but managed to prevent the companies from throwing out their sentinels. Missiles ot all kinds were pitched for- ward on the ranks, taunts given, tll soldier after soldier, when struck, or when personally threaten- ed and insulted,turned round,to the officers and ask- ed, ‘‘must we bear ell this ?” The orders being, however, to stand with grounded arms, the mob increased in insolence and rushed up to snatch the muskets trom the soldiers, and several personal struggles followed between the rioters attempting to arr:st the arms and the military to keep them. Captain Hill, when en- deavoring to clear the way, was seized. by one of the crowd, struck on the buck of the head with a club, and flungto the ground. Vollies of stones were thrown, a number of the volunteers injured, and a gergeant of the Cadwallader Greys was car- tied sériously wounded from the ground. It was then that ofders to fire were given, and his com- pany, together with the Cadwaliladers Greys, obeyed the command, | _ Such was the Beene. of the struggle, and as it progressed, and the night grew dark, the fierce- neas and malignity of the rioters increased. The Junior Artillerista, under Captain Drayton, were detailed to seize a large stand of arms and a keg of powder, at the Commissioners’ Hall, and were sur- rounded when there by a swarin who had disco- vered their position, and who threatened to shoot them down one by one as they emerged from un- der cover. The arrival of the Cadwallader Grays dispersed the besiegers, but only temporarily, aud in ashort time the military who had collected in front of the church, became aware of the charac- ter of the adversary with whom they had to deal Men were lurking ubout every corner, who, when they felt secure ia their ambush, would spring out for a moment, fire on the soldiers, and then retreat. Cannon, stuffed with old iron in every shape, were wheeled down the little alleys below the church, discharged suddenly, and then wheeled back Such an attack was it—secret, covert, murderous, ungoverned by any of the rules of civilized war- fare, and equalled only in brutality and cowardice by Indian tactics, that the volunteers sustained tili midnight. For twenty-four hours at the lowest, some of them for much longer, they had been kepi on the ground without any thing but chance and im- perfect refreshment, and without sleep. It has been asserted in various quarters that the military were not warranted by any necessity in taking possession of St. Philip’s church on Sunda‘ —that the civil force which had been in the chure uot! Sunday afternoon, were competent to protect the building and willing todo so. We are inform- ed that so far from this being the fact, committees waited upon the Major General, begging that the military might be sent to take possession of the church, as the force of Natives then in it could not hold out against the mob half an hour longer. Jt was only after two or three requests ot this nature thatthe military were ordered to the spot. Their pregence was therefore not only justified, but de- manded, and the commander or themselves had no choice between the course adopted and a gro-s neglect of duty. We believe that what is hrre stated can Ve fully substantiated. It is of little im- port whether the committees were authorised or aot to state what theydid. The duty of the mili- tary was to notice and act upon the summons. It was not a mornent for prolonged and formal nego- ciations, A vast amount of oratory has been displayed in our streets within three or four days At ever. corner men have been “ laying it down’ to eac! other, with emphasis and gesture, sometimes in heated controversy, sometimesin narration, some- times in sage comments and explanations, some- times in stirring re the mind to mutiny, and some- times, we would fain believe, in pleading tor kind- ness and peace. It has been amusing to pass alon| our streets and notice the attitude, manner, and obvious excitement of the colloquists gathered here andthere. Idlers, who live in the streete teeding on the gossip of the day, have enjoyed Some who have been relieved from occupation, and have been running to and fro, in a fever of curiosity, will be reluctant to ge back to the prose of hard work. But the humane, the reflecting, the industrious, will hail the return of quietness. _ Yesterday we took asurvey of the late scene of riot in Southwark. For the benefit of distant rea- ders, it may be well to describe it The streets mentioned in the accounts, Front, Second and Third streets, run north and sowh, parallel with and near to the river Delaware. Queen street in- tersects these streets at right angles. The Chure of St. Phillip is on the south side of Queen street, between Second and Third streets. It i# a good sized building, and requires to be rongh-cast before its exterior will be finished. When the troops fired, they were by Second and Queen streets There are contradictory accounts as to the extent of rovecation and resistance given them before the ring took place. From what we could gather om the spot, it appears that a good many hard names were bestowed on the soldiers, and afterwards brickbats and bottles were thrown at them, and finally an attempt was made to stab Captain Hill with his own sword, by a person who had him down. The impression theretore must have been strong that the troops would not venture to fire. Daring the riots of May last they were taunted and jeered to fire, and did not fire. The firing between the troops and mob was ‘a le 7 and down Queen street, between Second and Front. The houses, trees, posts, &c., of the equare bear ample evidence of the scattering grape and canister shot. At the time when we write, attention has been called offfrom the church. ‘The issne lies between the civil power and its military force and the in- surgents, ‘Third street, between Chesnut and Wal- nut, gives a lively idea of mylar displays Monnt- ed troops and footsoldiers line the street, and the Girard Bank building, situated there, is the head- quarters of the Major General, and is also conver- ted into a hospital for the wounded soldiery. The rioters wish to have the affair in their own hands. Death isthreatened for any obnoxious soldier to show himself on their ground. One who was re- cognised there since the military left the place, was pursued by infuriated men, aud barely escape with hislite. “The district is quiet, but itis not the quite of the supremacy of the law, while people toke the law jnto their own hands. A subordinate soldier, whois bound to obey, orders emanating in the first instance from the civil wuthority, is hardly an object for vengeance. r Teis rid that perfect quiet has been restored throughout the district of Southwark, and the authorities of the district, deeming all danger at an end, have surrendered the custody of 3!. Philip's Church, to such persons es the Loman Catholic Bishop has directed to take it in charge. The Priest heretofore officiating there, has lett the city tor a parieh in the west, so that some other person will, ivdue time, be placed over the affairs of the church. - During the whole of yesterday the Nativ collected inthe lower part of the district of wark, in the neighborhood of the Wharton Market house, and in the neck. They talked of being ready for action. It should be stated that these are but few, and composed mostly of men who have little or nothing to care for. There were a number of persons in the district yesterday, ex- umining the indentations of musket balls, etc., on the wiudows, doors, trees, W&c., but there was no evidence of riot. The leading Natives are opposed to any infringement of the law, and their influence is such, that the mass will hardly dare to depart from the arrangements entered into. Should any upen manifestation be made, there will be dreacfui havoc ‘The military force is. very strong—never before was there such a force in the city.

Yesterday, the birth day of American Independence— the day on which the people of the United States tormally separated themselves irom the Crown of Great Brituin, was duly honored and celebrated by alarge portion of the inhabitants of good and loyal old Kingston. ‘The Ameri- can flag was not hoisted, neither wos a salute fired in honor of the dey ; but these omissions of respect were probably cansed by eet aaa, of an armed garrison ; the will, however, should be taken forthe deed. At an early hour three steamboats, fully laden with fashion and respectability of both sexes, started for the land of liberty, to enjoy a sight of * the glorious Stars and Stripes,” and to participate in the amusements and enjeyments of an emancipated nation--a nation emancipated from the tyranny of the British Crown by open and direct treason and rebellion. The first of these vessels was the Princess Royal, loaned for the occasion by the proprietors of the Royal Mail Line to the Kingston Mechanics’ Institution an Institution under the immediate. patronage of His Ex. celluncy the Governor General. Under such patronage, the boat was literally crammed.

(From the Butfale Gazette.) Extraordinary Case of Clerical Tyranny. Sr, Louis Cuurcn—Petirion to THR Pore— We mentioned some days since thota large nieet- ing of the members of the congregation worshi; ping at the St. Louis Church, had been held, to hear and consider a report made by Wm. B. Le Couteulx, Esq., who had just returned from Europe, in rela- tion to the matters of diflerence between the con- gregation and Bishop Hughes. Oa Sunday last another large meeting was held, and a petition, written in German and French, was adopted with- out a dissenting voice. There was perfect unanimi- ty of feeling with all, and a determination to con- tinue in the position which they had wssumed, of Opposition to the demands of Bishop Haghes, for the control and management of the temporal aliairs of the Church The petition 15 already signed by four hundred names, all legal men and heads of families, and wiil be kept open eight days longer, during which time its friends expect an addition of a large number, which shows that there 1s a large and respectable party opposed to the Bishop, and not some five or six individuals, as he had been in- duced to believe, and stated in one of his published letters. F As there is much anxiety to hear the side of the question of those 0, posed to the Bishop, we give velow a translation of the petition to the Pope, which contains a recapitulation of the grievances of whieh they complain. To ove Hoy Fate ‘He Pore at Rome :— ‘The undersigned man Catholics of the St. Louis Church, Buffalo, N. Y.. all of legal wge and hea is of taini- lies, recently took the liberty tu senu your Holiness a pe- tition and divers docum: in order to explain to your Holiness the spiritual grievances whieh they endure at the hands of Join Hughes, Bishop of the Divcese of New York, hecuuse they have not been willing to consent to abandon into his hands the admi ion of the temporal fairs of their church Said petition and documents bay- tug been sent from Paris about the first of May last, the undersigned would have awaited, with a respect{ul resig- uation, the decision which it might have pleased your Holivess to make inthis affair, if new circumstances had not occurred to aggravate their position, end that of their numerous families. Notwithstanding that the said me morial fully explains the grievances and the cau-ex which uave given rise ‘0 them, the undersigned take the liberty wo here reiterate to your Holiness the prinelpal fact M Le Couteulx de Caumont, a native of France, hi ing been constraived at the time of the French revolu- tuon to emigrate to the United States, and having become the possessor of a large landed property at Buff'slo, desir. ed to ee a temple raised to the religion he prois ed, and which had been that of his fathers, profiting by the arrival ot a Jarge number of Catholics from Lurope, put bis land able project into execution With this view he mate a donation in perpetuity, of alarge lot of laud situated on the principal street of said city of Buffalo, on the cousider Ation that the Catholics should exect upon it _@ temple to their religion And in order to receive a rich revenue he gave other lots, upon which were to be erected dwel- ‘and the rents inure to the benefit of the church. 48 being thus arranged, each Catholic contributed according to his means, towards carrying the project into effect, and in a short time, a smalichureh was erected and consecrated by Bishop Dubois, in which the faithful had at last the happineea to be able to pray te their common Saviour, and to attend Divine Service Things continued thus until the Catholic population, dai ly arriving from France ond other parts ot Europe, coud Ho longur be accommodated in tue little church. Thanks to the generosity of Mr, Le Couteulx, who had also given a lot to the Irish Catholics, on which to build a church a separation was haa between them and the undersigned, French and Germans. But the emigration of Catholics still continuing, ot the eudof a few years it became ur- gently necessary to erect anew church which could ac- commoadate the increased number. After several prepar- atory imevtings, at which each Catholic subvcribed ac cording to his meaus, thy largest church on this continent was erected, enclosing the old one within i's walls, in order not to iaterrupt the serv. b What is worthy of remark, notwithstanding that the members of the St Louis church were mostly poor, and burdened with large tamilies, their money and labor alone contributed to the erection of the church, and no debt whatever was con tracted | Belore the erection of this new church, it was agreed with the congent of Mr. Le Conteulx and Bishop Dubois partly with a view to avoid the payment of heavy taxes and partly to gratify the wishes of a portion of the mem- hers of the church, that it should be incorporated accor ding to tho Jawa of the State of New York.— This was accordingly done, and a Board of ‘Trustees was elected by the congregation, to administer the temporal affaira of the church, #ud never was the offuirs of o church more wisely conducted, never in @ manner more worthy of praise, than were the affairs of St. Lou Church, until the decease ef our much regretted Bishop Dubois.” He waa'succeeded by the present Bishop Job Hughes, who was plensed in a pastoral letter detec Sept. 8, 1842, to.claim the church for bimseif and cor ies tor. ‘The congregation being accustomed to the adminis tration of the trustees, and imbued moreover with the ideas of this republican country, refused to yield to bia de mands. Meetings weve held, and respectful resolutioné adopted and transmitted to the Bishop, who refused them the least consideration, ‘Lhis pastoral letter waa succeed ed by others addressed to one of the trustees, Mr. Win B. Lé Conteulx, son of the heretofore mention mefuc tor, and to our pastor. Some of them were very bitter and threatening to deprive us of a pastor and of all reli gious succor—thréats which were unbeyly too prompt ly executed. Onr pastor, under a frivolous pretext of il) health, was authorized to return to France, and when w: sol:cited another, he replied to ug that we should have none, until we submitted to what le exacted in ral letter heretofore referred Much exasperation re sulted from this, To mildnesa and respectful applications succeeded a bitter correspondence and publications in th: public jonrnals, which was notcaloulated to promote tbe good wt our holy religion ; but upon the contrary .a de ploratle scandal of every thing connected with it. “Moreo ver, the Bishop lias pushed his blindness to the interdicting the pastors of the vicinity from officiating in our church, or to give us the least of thoxereligious consolations whic} cause the foundation of «lt our happiness. And thet con gregation, formerly so united, and forming but one front when our Holy religion was in question, found itself di vided, And that fine church of which they were s« proud, which they had erected at'so many sactifices, aps with so wueh labor and zeal, was to! pe toda a by the Clergy ané devoted to infamy, ae i! belonging tore hels, ‘Ihe greater proportion of our children have not been able to take their first communion, and those among them who have been able to enjoy that happiness hav. been constrained ta go and solicit it, eccompanied by their parente, several miles from the city, and often at ar expense beyond their pecuniary circumstances, ‘Th: same has been the case in the administration of the Hely Sacraments, When one of us was in danger of dying, or for the interment of the dea}, it was necessary to go se varal miles to conduct the only pastor who was willing to have pity on our spiritual selévences. Since the 1¢ Bishop Hug! authority to preach in the Irish © object of their sermons has been te launch anxtheman at ali who resist the will of the Bishop, and who continue te ineet in St. Louis Charch, to pray together, and implore the mercy of their Divine Saviour thut he will put en to their grievances. They have succeeded in making some proarlytes at.d have caused divisions in several fam ities, which’ had never before taken place, and whore e! fects are deplorable in ac¢ountry wher: the majority o the inhabitants are Protestants, and where the Catholic religion is otten outraged. In order to favor this division a rumor has been circulated that the property of St Lou ix Church did not belong to the congregation, but that ir had reverted to the heirs of the donor. It was then are to purchase another lot on which to build anew church, And in order to bring this about, these mission aries, in the name of te Bishop, agreed to subscribe five thousand franes to aid in its construction. This church as just been finished and two pastors attached to it, who with the Bishop, have the entire control of it. None bur those who submit to the will of the Bishop are admitt ex into it Hany member of the congregation of St. Lonir 0 ick and in danger of dying, and wish for th: te, they are fi #t required to acknowled g rongs towards the Bishop. in orderto obtain that which is #0 dear to them —otherwive they are abandoned A large number of the undersigned, not having beer willing to send our children to the public schools, for fear that their religious principles might become cou natod; we decided upon new sacrifices, in establishing two schoels,and providing them with Catholic teachers entirely at our own expense, The children who att these schools, are under one pretext o; anether, denied the Confession and the Communion, if their parents de not submit to the will of the Bishop, and cease to offer up their prayers in the St. Louis Chureh. Out of a popula. tion of about 25,000 which Buffalo now contains, there are about 9.000 to 10,000 who ure tholics, including those ina circle ofsome three miles in the surroundin i country, Buffalo contains ninetoen churcher, of whic! three are Catholic, and of that number, 8t.

Most of the Catholic children, from the pecuniary circumstances of their parents, are oblige to earn their livelihood by h ring out as servante, or other wise, in American families, who being all Protestants there is great (nger, that throogh continued solicitations they will become attached to one or other of their sects — several among them have alrendy become so. Of thir fact the bishop has been informed, and hia written answer ow in our ha that he saw nothing inthe letter which couvey 1s. informe to him, that could e his determination in regard to us. So crucla re. sponse as this, coming from one of the hends of our church; aotwithstanding the astonishment which itcaused, will not bu able to create any bad effects upon our sentiments becanse we are men having experience; but on our chil iren, necessarily abs from us, and away from our po ternaleare, and placed in Protestant familie fail to operate very injuriotsly on thelr feligious pri lea, Should the same rigor be adopted by ollof the hi hops in this Republican country, we cannot do that a very few yours would see a total loss of the ¢ lic religion among the rising generation. We shall not avempt in this Petition to eatablivh the right of our opposition to the will of the Bishop, nor to make any defunce as to our conrse ; for we are only con- tending forthe privileges and immunities which ive en joyed under his venerable predecessor, Bishop Dubois wecannot refrain from tho reflection, that in whore a large portion of us were born, and ix countries of Europe, tho temporal affairs of the Churches are administered by trustees, chowen from the laity, and that there every thing goes smoothiy on, an’ without the difficulties we have experienced here | We could conceive, without however approving of the jnsticr of it, that any new congregation, whioh may in future be formed, will not be able to obtain the consecration of eny Price Two Cents. new Church which they may build, without first having consented to abandon its temporal administration to the Clergy. But we could never conceive, as a conditicn, sine qua non, tbat those already incorporated after the laws of the country, should make the same concessions, in order to obtain religious aid and succor. It would be calling into question ull that exists, and to overthrow all. A single member opposed to the will ofthe Bishop would suffice te annul in such case, an act of incorporation. This our Bishop has never been willing to comprehend. Noone but Your Holiness, being able to heal the differ. ences which exist between us and our Bishop ; we submit them to your decision, humbly supplicating Your Holi- ness to send us a Pastor, Wise and impartial, to tue co; zunce of our afflictions, and to Iny them betore Your Hi ness, We have the honor to be, With the must profound respect for Your Holiness, The very humble and obedient servants in Jesus Christ.
