THE WAR THE LONO-TALKEP OF
GENERAL BO.MBA RDMFXT OF SE
BASTOPOL BEGUN.
Fire from all the French and English bat
teries was opened upon Sebastopol on the
9th. On the 10th, both French and English
viewed the bombardment as effective ; but
nothing decisive had occurred to warrant a
conclusion as to the immediate issue. The
French left batteries had made a breach in
the indonted wall ; tho two fronts of the last
erected Russian battery were much injured,
and one of the Russian works of counter ap
proach, near the careening harbor, was silen
ced. During the first two days, the besieg
ers' fire was superior to that of tho city.
. Tho progress of events is thus narrated :
From St. Petersburg, April 16th, we have
despatch wherein Prince Gortschakoff an
nounces, from Sobastopol, that at 5 o'clock on
t he morning of tho 9th of April, tho Allies
vienod a cannonade from all their batteries,
which lasted till evening, and was carried on
in a lesser degree throughout the night. On
uiu auwi nits uuinuuiuiiiuiib wuh reauineu.
The Russians replied with success, causing
sensible loss to the besiegers, but with a loss
to the garrison of 633 killed and wounded.
The Werner Zeitung publishes that, dur
ing the night of the 13th, the left attack of
the Allies obtained considerable advantage
over the Russians. The Russians were twice
dislodged from a strongly fortified position,
which remained in the hands of the French.
Tho possession of this position enables the
Allies to fortify the summit of the raviues,
which is of great importance.
Of date April 15lc, Princo Gortschakoff
reports from Sebastopol : "The bombard
ment of the city continued without interrup
tion since A pril 9th. Damages are repaired
daring the night. Sebastopol is to-day in
almost, the same state of defence as on the
9th. The loss sustained by the garrison, con
sidering the tremendous fire of the enemy, is
bat s.nall. There is nothing new from other
part of the Crimea."

ENAtOn BROOK VI. ARCHBISHOP
HUOHICa.
Tho recent controversy, which has Just
been terminated, between Archbishop
Hughes of tho Roman Catholic Church, and
Erastus Brooks, State Senator, and editor of
tho New York Exjn-em, has excited no little
interest. These articles appeared, during tho
past ten days or two weeks, in tho New York
Courier and Enquirer, and were induced by a
statement made by Sonator Brooks, ou the
floor of the New York Senate, in discussing
the church property bill. Senator Brooks
stated among other things that Archbishop
Hughes held in his own name, and his own
right, proporty, properly belonging to the
church, valued at nbont Five millions of dol
lars. This the Archbishop indignantly de
nied, in language betokening any thing but
refinement or nminbility of temper. The
Archbishop is well known as an ablo writer,
and a powerful antagonist, In controversial
subjects, especially on subjects in regard to
the doctrines of his church, and it was feared
that Mr. Brooks might bo worsted in the
encounter. It was', however, a simplo ques
tion of veracity, nnd the Senator has so well
fortified himself with facts, and so skillfully
handled his subject, that he has. in tho opin
ion of nil candid and unprejudiced minds'
utterly demolished the Archbishop. There
is no better proof of this, than the fact that
tho Senator is calm and dignified, through-
ont, while the Archbishop is violent, coarse
and abusive. Having referred to the records
in corroboration of his statements, the Arch,
bishop replied in an abusive letter, boldly
.denying his statements, but giving no proofs.
To this Senator Brooks in his letter of thu
2d inst., says :
I congrntalate the Archbishop npon that
degree of recovery of "a near relative of his"
which enables him to presume his pen. I am
sorry, however, to see thut the Archbishop is
neither improved in temper nor refrshed in
style by the brief suspension of his labors.
He continues to pile up epithets, like a py
ramid, and to-dny out does himself. He char
ges me. now, with "falsehoods, uttered delib
erately," "brands mo as no honorable man
would sufier himself to be branded," uses the
words "thief" nnd ' theft," to illustrate the
temper of his mind, and heads his letter, like
a showman, "the moral degradation of my
position." If 1 hud no respect for myself and
none for the truth of the case at issue, 1
might lie for 'lie." and brand for '-brand."
But in dealing with nn Archbishop I choose
rather to renu niber his high and holy cullinp
than his low example, If it is either good
manners, sound logic or true religion to an
swer n proven fact with such words ns the
Archbishop makes so familiar to his lips and
pen, hu is more than welcome in this contro
versy to the advantages they give him.
Once upon a time, a Scotch Professor of
King's College, Cambridge, setting an exam-
I )le which an Archbishop might itnitute with
tonor, was asked what he would do if a man
told him he was a liar: "What would I do,"
Slid he, "I would not knock him down, but I
would tell him t" prove it, prove it, pbovk it.
And I would say to him that if he cotild'nt
prove it, he'd be' the liar, and then I should
have him !" The Archbishop may make the
application, nnd the politic will jmljrc upon
the evidence given, and coming, whether 1
huvo John Jlnghcs or John Hughes hus me.
In vindication of my veracity, and to re
lieve myself from the chorge of FAi-sniioop, 1
have given from the record tho legal convey
ances to John II actios or tiiihty pieces or I
parcels of property. I add eleven moro to
day, nnd tin; end is not yet. What 1 said in
the Souatu on the Gth of March last, qualifird
by "a supposition of fart," and from data re
corded by the roiourches of"a friend of mine,"
as to the main fact, which the Archbishop
twice directly misstates to-day, will turn out
to be a soberer reality than the Archbishop
or myself ever dreamed of when 1 cuIIbiI pub
lic attention to his possessions, and when ho
pronounced my statement falsr. The work
of investigation is only fairly commenced, and
I shall proceed with it, disregarding all irrel
evaoy and abuse.
The Archbishop seeks to be master of the
living, and to prescribe just where the deud
shall be laid, and what price shall bo paid for
the privilege of interment. But more of this
hereafter. 1 am dealing with a living mun
nnd his estates now, and with ono who. in
the space of n few years, has come into pos
session not merely of the honors of an Arch
bishopric, but of princely possessions, and all
as the head cf a church, whoso office I bud
supposed, pledged him to poverty. It is not
every minister of the Gospel w fio can thus
suddenly be transformed from extreme pDV
crtv to luxury, with country seats, retair.ers
and bountiful provisions lor relatives and
friendd. Good Catholics tell me, and the
fact seems probable enough from tho record,
however violently deniud, that tho Arch
bishop is more attentive to the fleece than to
"the Hock committed to his charge."
I must remind him, too, of that other "con
fessinn and evidence" of his, moro than two
years old embodied in his Circular Letter
of the 10th of March, 1852. and printed in
the New York Freemans Journal, wherein,
as by public advertisement, he claimed for
himself and others, a full . legal ownership in
even more than thu churches of their re
spective Dioceses. The Archbishop then
tuid :
"That the Catholic Bishops of New York,
Albany and Buffalo, ARE NOW OWN FRrt
IN FEE SIM PI.E ol nearly ali religious and
charitablo property existing within their re
spective Ecclesiastical jurisdictions 1"
hen the Archbishop again charges me
with falsehood he will renlize what a com
pound of accusations he makes against him
self. If oelf-defence I tnm him over now to
Lis circular letter of 1852. and to his recent
declarations, above quoh d :
"The title it vested in me."
"I AM TUB OWNER," &C., iiC,
It is because the title is vested in him, and
in others of similar power and state, that
Trustees of his own Church have prayed the
Legislature for redress. Those who bu.ld
churches themselves claim the right, having
paid for them with their own money, of go
verning' the Chinch temporalities as they
please. Tho Legislature ol thu Statu have
answered their prayeruffirmatively, and beuco
the auathe'imiH winch he hus in his ebullitions
of temper, exuustud upon ine rut bur than up
on the State.
But I shall continue my record of eenvey
slices to-day. and hereafter, to show how fur
the Archbishop has been justilied in accusing
me of falsehood. I hope to be excused for
thus furnishing bun with small doses at a
time. It is a rule of practice with skilful
men of the Faculty, I believe, in t to k.ll but
to cure, and hence the necessity of continuing
theie prescriptions from duy to day. 1 may
not restore the Archbishop to a sane state of
mind, nor to on equanimity or bearing, bin it
is enounh for me to know that if I have
have
opened public wounds, so thut the community
cuu behold them, as they nr.', the exposure
may lead to a speedier ture of the uisease
than would have resulted from concealment.
Hut while acknowledging titles in diuretics
and oilier property, the Archbishop now seekt
for sympathy by pleading property. He
owns.'he tells us "a library, aud part of the
furniture of the bouse io which he livet." It
almost excitet one't commUseration to read
such doleful, lamb-like statements at the fol
lowing :
"I am the owner of the bed I sleep en, but
not of the roof or the walls that protect me
from inclemency of the seasons. I do not
however complain or my povort y, for I am
not poor. I know thot anyone invested with
the office which 1 hold iu the Church of God
is the more honored in proportion as bis con
dition assimilutes to that or his Divine Mat

Alas, that one thus invested with the offlco
M Bishop. i:i the Church or God," should to
Ut forget the precepts and example of "his
Divino Master," as to indulee in the fonl
language. 1 huve quoted, and in a denial of
the statements I have proved.
The Archbishop in the Diocete lias assn
med a power over Church pronertvand Cath
olics, unknown to the Priesthood in many of
mo niiionc uovernments ol Europe, t he
oppression and despotism exercised hore
would not be tolerated there. It is en arbi
trary exercise of Power, both over the living
nnd tho dead. We exibit, therefoje, in a Gov
ernment eminently Protestant, which sepa
rates Church and State, and which forbids all
interference in matters of fuith, the st ange
nrnomalyof a Priesthood not only holding
Property worth millions in value, but ruling
tho members of its Church with a rod of
iron.
But the wolf now clothes himself in lamb's

snmmcr gardens of the Pope, to whom the
Sistine Chapel, decorated with Raphaels and
Michael Angelos, are ns household objects,
who can fly for pleasure from the city to
Newfoundland or the Lakes, to tho Springs,
or to Newport, who has a town reeidenco
mid a country sent, now appears before the
people to taste, "how poor I am," and to de
clare that his bud, his books and his furniture,
in part, arn his only wordly fortuuo I
But enough, for to-day.
Very respectfully yours,
Eraptis Brooks.
To this the Archbishop next day replies in
a very short epistle, with repetitions of charges
of falsehood, against Mr. Brooks, without one
word of proof, and concludes by culling Mr.
Brooks "a vile insect-' which ho casts from
him out of the window. The Archbishop
evidently felt that he was in an ugly position,
or in "a tight place," nnd supposed the easiest
way to get out wns to troat his adversary with
contempt. But Mr. Brooks was not to be
put off. He hnd the Archbishop he says,
and ho was determined to hold him. Tho
next day Senator Brooks appuars iu a long
letter of several columns, fortifying himself by
a long list of properly if properly extracted
from the records, and from which, 1 shall only
quote the following opening paragraph :
The Archbishop is as profuse of epithets as
ever, lo-ilayhe is brier in words and abun
dant in accusations. In a singlu paragraph
he dismisses me, not for good 1 hope, in tho
following laconic nnd amiable manner :
"I take him consequently, with covered
hands, to thu nearest open sash of a window,
and send him forth with tho single mental
observation. Go hence, wretched and vile
insect : thu world has space for yon as well
as me."
tJoii.v Archbishop of New York.
Preliminary to thi.;. are charges that "al
most e wry paragraph of my speech on the
(ith or March, nnd of my writings in reference
to it siii'je. are false." 1 am "branded," too,
again and again us -guilty of deliberate false
hood, as -no honorable man. Arc, Sec.,
Having sufficiently damned and accursed me
with his official t. I am taken with covered
hands to the neaivst window nnd dismissed
"as a wretched nnd vile insect."
But, i; cd ArvlibiMinp. I am not to bo so
dismissed. You commenced the ar and I
intend to end it. If the insect has stung you,
and you have been nuabiu cither to beul the
wound, or have the sting extracted, it is your
Tank, not mine. There is something to me,
even more ludicrous than wicked, if possible,
in the bitterness, and boldness or your denials
or the truth, und in tho IV.qutncy'or your per
sonalities. Early in life I was taught that in
controversies und intercourse among men, no
gentleman ever insults another, and nobody
else can. I know the advantage 1 have over
you in this respect, und mean to maintain it
to the end. by an absence or all foul epithets,
and nil exhibitions or bad temper. You for
ced mo into this controversy, by reiterated
charges of falsehood. You endeavored to
hold mo up to contempt by satire nnd ridicule,
nnd finding that your curses upon me, like
chickens, have come home to roost upon your
self, and that your satire and ridicule have
rebounded to the point from whence they
sturted. you now, "with covered hands," would
throw the insect from ti e window into the
street, that is, if he would let you. I shall
buzz under your window, during, my own
good time, an 1. may be, find ingress again
within ytiur Gruce's quarters.
It is a matter of snrpriso that the Arch
bishop who has the reputation of being as
shrewd as he is talented and able, should have
suffered himself to be caught in such a dilem
ma. The facts were against him, public
opinion was against him, and even the liberal
minded and intelligent of his own chord),
were opposed to his views. In this republican
government such doctrines can never be sus
tained. The people will never submit to the
rule of Pope, King, or any other potentate.
The season of the year is now at hand when
many persons from the interior visit the city

one of tho most pleasant 'and best kept booses
in the city. Mr. MacLcllan. tho proprietor,

in this and other cities, nnd leaves nothing
