CHABLCSTOK, 16. By the arrival yesterday of the brig Catharine, Captain Welsman, in four days from Havana, we have received Havana papers of the 10th insl. containing ac counts from the Peninsula to the 26th June. Our predictions concerning the general spirit of the better portion of the Spanish People, their resistance of invasion, and the victories of Afina, have, in some meV sure, thank Heaven, been confirmed. A people once inoculated with the spi rit of Liberty, art rather a dfficult subject for u legitimate despotism to work upon. The power of an invader, and the con tagion of priestcraft may, for a season, disunite and weaken ; but, the awakened intellect of .Man cannot again be utterly buried in darkness and inactivity. 7 he etherial spirit will rise and act, aud finally conquer aH phytkal impediments.

June 28, called the Family Visitor, the editor inserted a paragraph from the Theological - Reporterr whkrri. states that the Episcopal Convention for North Carolina had met, and that clergy-"-men and lav deDtities from the Lutheraa " Church had also sttended. It then states that the Episcopal and Lutheran Church es had effected an honorable and christian union, which places the Lutheran Church under the care snd superintendence el the Episcopal authority of that Diocess. At such assertions may cause disagree able sensations and erroneous imprestioni, among the thousand Lutheran congrega tions in the United States, the cate is here fully staled as it is. The union spo ken of is nothing more than that we admit, reciprocally, deputies from the churches to the different conventions and synods nd deputies may vote on all ques- "n not interlenng with the church to which they are deputed and this union is on the wane. The Lutheran church had existence durine the re'mn of Henry tbe 8tb, and his heirs, Edward and Elixabetb, during whicb Protestantism made its way in Eng und : and it exists in North America, un der the csre and superintendance of it own synods, and admits of no superintend ance, care or control from any Bishops or conveption of any other church what ever and by the Grace of God, who is at the head of all Christians, it will remain so, as it was these 300 years, and as it it in North Carolina, - But that Church i'- lway-glad -and wUlwg. to. walk side by. , aT . .
