IYIHES The article which I have given below with this title, taken from the Cork Chronicle , I hope my friends in America will read with attention. It (hews them what they are to expect, if their Cossick Priest hood should iucceed in their at tempts to establish a dominant church Not olily will they exadt a ten,th of rheir corn, and their cat tle, which grow and are fed ir? the fields, but their'fruit, their'apples, their pears, their plumbs, and all those choice and delicious products which cthftitute the kitchen gar den, and are lb consoling to the heart o/ man, will be tythed by these rapacious fiends, who, as was the case in France before the revo lution, had the impudence there to aflert* that the earth and its fulliftfs is their heritage, and that the pro pie, over which they hacf a’ffumed a iway, were created merely to be fleeced by them. It is for this, and this only, that the priesthood in America are exerting themselves to overthrow the republican gov ernment. They feel, that under a frugal) government, which is careful to teach every map, his duty in soci ety without calling iti th* aid of spiritual teachers, there is no chance of their being abfe to establish an empire over the mind. This the foundation of all their . power being unattainable, their grand object is to bripg into difere d:t that system which presents so for midable a bar-ier to their encroach ments. From the Cork Chronicle. Bishop of Cloyne’s Court. readers may recoiled that - we called their attention fome time since to the fubjedt of certain cita tions iflued from this court at the iuit of the Rev. Thomas Carson, Reftor of Kiimahon, for the reco very of tythe of green clover, ap ples, pears, plumbs&cherries which grew in a kitchen garden. On J uefday last, the Court was crowd- ’ edto excels, principally a very ref pedable number of gentlemen al fembled to witness the proceedings. However, upon reading the cita tion, it was difeovered that it was erroneoyfly filled,; so that the claim of the Reverend Pastor was difmifT ed, after going through part bitfte the evidence. We have been in formed that the Vicar General took tins opportunity of censuring in very ftrofig and energetic language, iuchTmvel modes of proceding as tne prelent, and expressed his hope that this woufH be the last time he should witness claims of this nature brought into his court. .However, we have been informed that the Rev. Mr. Canon declared in open court his intentiou of re-commencing the suit . It was brought against Wm Abbott, Esq, of Ballyrnalee, a y -.m.T gentleman connoted with the moft relpe£lable families of the Society of Friends, throughout the country, and from whose well cul tivated farm of 233 acres the Rev. Paftdr requires a considerable year ly income in tythe. This gentle man has been remarkable for his very kirfd attention to a widowed mother, and a number of brothers & filters, who were left a burthen upon him at a early period pf life. The fame Rev. gentleman was difmifled upon turn other cita < tions on the fame day, one of which was for the tythe of a fmffil quantity of flax which grew in a fjead-lancj of a cornfield, the tythe ot which had been duly paid.

Died, at the Onondago Gaftle oi> Sunday last, cne of the Chiefs of the Alieganies, well known thto*- out this country as the Indian Pro jahet. Those who have been acquaint ed with the influence this man’s-preaching has had upon the icondud of the Six Nations, (the Oneidas excepted) cannot but look upon his death as a feVere dispen sation of Divine Prdviderice. We think that a fliort biographical (ketch ot this,extraordinary ,>an cannot be unacceptable to th'e pub lic. During the firft fifty of his life, he was remarkable only for his stupidity and beastly About thii teen years ago, while lighting his pipe, he iuddenlv fell back upon bis bunk, upon which !*c was then fitting and continued in a state of infenfibiliry for fix of eight hours ; his family fuj>r> mng him dead, had made prepaiSrions for laying him out, an.d whiif in the ad of removing from his bunk, he recovered. His firft words were “don’t be alarmed. I have seen Heaven ; call the nation together that I may fell them whktf have seen and “heard ” The nation hav ing afleuibled at his house, ?‘e in formed them that he had seen beautiful young men who haa been sent from Heaven by the Spi rit, and who thus addrefled hun— Great Spirit is angry with you and all the red men, and un less you immediately refrain from drunkenness, lying, ftcali v. & c . you shall never enter that beautiful place whiclUve will nowfho v.u ’* He (fated that he was condutie J to, the gate of Heaven which wn o pened, but he was not eo o enter; that it was more hi ;u >*al than any thing they could conceive of of be deferjbed, and that the in. habitants appeared to be p. thedly happy, that he was fufiere to re main there three or four hours, and was then recondu&ed by The fame young men, who on taking their leave, promised they wouia visit him yearly, and commanded hirp to inform all other Indians what he had seen and heard.—He immedi ately visited the differrent tribes of Indians in the western part of the states, the Oneidas excepted. They all put the moft implicit faith in what he told them,; and revered him as a prophet. The*cofe quence has been, that from a filthy lazy drunken wretched set of be ings, they have become a cleanly, induftrious,fofrer and happy people. The prophet has continued, as he fays to receive regular annual visits, from those Heavenly messengers ; immediately after which, he in his turn, vifitedThe different tribes He was on one of these annual vi sits at the time of bis decease. It will be proper to observe, that he was called the pe ace prophet,’ in contra-diftindion to the brother of Tecumseh, who was called the WAR .prophet. ).
