In our foreigi RCews, under the head " Aleppo," will be found a Firman published by the Sultan of PeasxA, pro. hibiting the introduction of the Bible into his dominions. As we read the mandate, we thought that the Impeirial author of it was no worse an enemv to Christianity than the Pope of ROMX, his Holiness having in like manner forbidden the knowledge of the word of GOD to the sub- jeets of his spiritual dominion in Ireland; and there is no doubt that the Bible is equally fatal to Popery anld Maho- metanism. No one could learn one word of either of them from the sacred book in whioh Christians believe. On looking farther, however, into the foreign news, wve learned that his Holiness stands suspected of being the author of the happy project for pronzoting Christianity in Persia also as well as in Ireland, bv smothering the authenitic records- "Catholics as well as Christians believing the Firmian to have been issued at the instabe of the Roman Catholic Clergy." ,
