MAY 18: CA'T'HOLICS, We are at length acquainted with the decision of the Catholic Bishops on a subject of considerable:interest to th ecclesittlical affairs of the sister kingolom. It appears, that the election of proper persons to vacant Sees by the Deans and Chapters of such Bishoprics, according to the old canonical mode, in opposition to the customary exer cise of the right of election by the Bishop*, fru; teen re cently decided. This is what is generally called Domes tic Nomination. The present case is tlrtt of a Dr. Power, who was electcil Bishop of Waterfind and Lisatore, on the Bth ult. at a General Meeting of • the Clergymen of all ranks and Religious Orders, both secular and regular, of the united Dioceses. The election was afterwards sub mitted to a synod assembled.= Kilkenny, which was at tended by l 3 Bishops. The result of their deliberation is stated to be, never to accederto any arraigement admit ting the interference of the Crown in rise appointment of the Catholic Prelates. They agree to the principles of Donocrtic Nominatim They petition Parliament, stating their sentiments or the grounds unequivocally. They forward to Rome another Remonstrance against the nego ciations of the 9fitish Govermnent with the Pope, which Remonstrance - is grounded on their former Resolutions against a Veto, ❑nder any disguise or modification. It fidlows of course by the adoption of Domestic Nomination, that-both the Crown and the Pope would be precluded from •all interference in the election of Prelates. The following is an cxtract from the Aran Gazettet6— ARAI:, APRIL 2 , 2:—The Apostolic Vicar-Oenerra of the Swiss Cantons, separated from the Ilishoprick of Constance, has ad dre-ssed a pastoral letter in Latin, oftl•4psarto pages, to all the clergy of his diocese; in which ke complains bitterly of the decline of the doctrine and disciptiise of the church, and of the consideration Goethe Church of thO-Apostolic See, and of the Clergy in general; and calls on his brethren to co-operate in restoring the true faith, and Oise former Church discipline in purity of morals. To effect this, he deems it especially neces sary for the Clergy themselves to reform their manners; " fur bow," says he, " ran this „nbtf• work be effected, when some Clergymen regard as superstitious follies the doctrines of the Catholic faith, the ancient usages of the Church, and make them contemptible in the eyes of the world ; oho neglect their tiered studies and pious exercises, follow idleness, games, and feasting. have feequent intercourse with wittiest, approve the licentiousness of thoughtless youth, regard nigbd y assemblies, immodest dances, as innocent sports, and do not even Wash to take part in them." To remedy all these eviiss he draws the picture of a truly pious labourer in the Lord's vise, aril, and strictly enjoins an entire observance of all the forms prescribed by the Church. The return of the Old Liturgy, cinch many Clergymen have altered, even introducing German prays instead of the Latin, and omitting in baptism the ceremonies of inspiration and ex orcism, as unsuitable to our enlightened age. The Council of Trent, he says, anathematizes all such conterune;Fol the•cere monies of the Church. Letters from St. Paersburgh state, that. the Jesuits have been recalled .into that-eity. We have received fetters from Vera Cruz up 'to the end of January, by hiS Britannic Majesty's brig Forrester, which left the above port on the 2d of February, with specie on beard. We learn, that the death of the Inde pendent Chief Morelos has by no means debilitb.tel-the bpirit of the revolution, which continues' ith the great est vigour. Frequent actions take-place. The indepen dents had advanced towards the•capital of Mexico, and a party had even entered the suburb of San Lazaro. Ano ther division had also approached the walls of Vera Cruz, Idled the sentinel et the gates, laying waste all the country round. All the lines of commartication•lre in the hands of the Independents. The general Congress of the Independents had again assembled in the city of Techouacan, and D. F. Bravo, one of the generals, had been chosen President. - General Morelos, who had been lately hung by the Spanish Government in Mexico, when first taken prisoner, was confined in the Inquisitioit• of Mexico, and tried for being a heretic, since he had thrown Cfr his Priesthood to become,ageneral. He defended his own cause, and was absolved. He was then dclivered over to the Royal Court, and condemned for -high trea son. Before he was executed, the Spanish .bishops dressed him in all his sac , 4sdota i l robes, of which he was afterwards divested in a-canonical manner, and formally degraded. It is singular, that two priests have been the most active Generals of the Mexican Revolution. Eugene Beaulairnois is to receive. 22 millions of francs for his possessions in Itttly.• M. Pullet, the notorious n•enclunan who lately libelled this country, and who lied •SJ much when living, now lies dead. PARISIAN ANRCDOTE.—Cen. Druot quitted Paris the other, day for Nuncy, in the diligence; all the places being taken, he was obliged to enter in that part of the carriage called the cabriolet ; but his name was no sooner mentioned by the conductor, than the whole •six.inside passengers alighted, and insisted on his pl,tting himself in the most commodious seat.

CONVEYANCE OF FISH TO THE INLAND COUNTIES. OXFORD, MAY '.—The Lew fish.market in this city was open ed yesterday. Light hundred wright of fresh sea-tish were exhibited, and sold at very moderate prices. 'flie novelty of the scene attracted such crowds, that the place became a complete Billingsgate. The Constables and other Police-Of beers n ere called in, rind had nu small difficulty in dispersing the iniiititridN and giving the purchasers an opportunity of getting into the market. Arrangements will shortly be Made itir the supply to arrive exactly at noon. Mr. Phillips, who has written and sent so much on the fisher ies, is her e, and has received the sanction and support of the heads of the University to this Grand Survey. Mr. P. asserts, and his as sertions appear well tomided, that every town in England might, with COIIIIIIOII act is 111 be supplied in the middle of the day, with...abundance of tisli taken Irons the sea on the preeed• Mg evening. This neighbourhood being further from Cie sea coast than almost any other part of the kingdom, affords sutli• cient proof of the *practicability of ..!re argument ; and, us thousands of persons might find employment, it is hoped, every encouragement will be given to facilitate an object of such great importance. REJOICINGS AT RAMSGATE. A letter from Itanisgate, dated May 7, says'—" This morn ing's Post has greeted us with the inteiligence of the itainsgate Harbour Bill havint been thrown tint of .t he House of Coin mons ; the object of which was to impose upon the town a most enormities wharfage.

About a mile from the town the horses Were taken from the carnage, in which were three 'Attie Committee, who were drawn by the people through the prin cipal streets vs ith the most joytiol acclamations, to the house of the Deputy, where they alighted and partook of some refresh esetots. Notwithstanding the immense nirsibers assembled together, the greatest order prevailed throughout; all were nnanimotts in expressing their joy; being no party matter, tan one sentiment pervaded all, viz. gratitude to those friends whose exertions had been the means of preventing so great an evil being forced on them. Part only ef- the Itamsgate Com mittee came home on Wednesday ; the remairder were expected last night, thr whose reception the same hearty welcome was intended." FIRESIN Surrot.a.—About ten o'clock on Wednesday night, sonse sheds; in which- eight brillocks were fattening, on the premises of Mr. Gray, of Hadleigh, were disco'vered to be in flames, and, from the rapid progress they assumed, soon became a heap of rubbish.
