Miscellaneous.
The Titus Oates f lot.
In the days of plots, inventions, &c, it
would be well for those who get them up
to remember the lessons of history. The
following is Macau lay a description of
the famous Oates Hot, and the result of
it :
Yet was the ferment excited by this
discovery the French plot against Dauby
a blight, when compared with the com
motion winch arose when it was noised
abroad that that a great Popish plot had
been detected. One Titus Oaten a cler
gyman of the Church of England, had,
by his disorderly life and heterodox doc
trine, drawn on himself the ctnsure of las
sniritual suneriors. bad licrn cnmiu'l1iit ti
quit his beiiifiee, and had, ever since, led
an infamous and va-rant life. Ile J:lj !
once prol'esscil himself a Roman Catholic,
and hud passed fnune time on the conti
nent in English coli.-ges of the order of
Jesus. In these seminaries he had heard
much wild talk ab-ut the. best means of
bringing England back to the true church.
From hints thus furnished, he constructed
a hideous romance, resembling rather the
dream of a hick man than any transaction
which ever took place in the world. The
pope, he said, had intrusted the govern
ment of England to the Jesuits. The
Jesuits had, by commissions under the
teal of their society, appointed Catho'.ie
clergymen, police men, and gentlemen, to
all the higl.est ojlices in church and slate.
The 1'apists had burned down London
once. They tried to burn it down again.
They were at that G!om"!it planning h
scheme for setting lire to a!i the thippiog
in the Thames. They were to rise at a
signal and ma-s.-use all their L'rotestant
neighbors. A Frens h army was at the
same time to land in Ireland. All the
leading
statesmen and
dn
vines in r.iiIan I
were to be murdered. Three or four
fehemes had been formed for assassinating
the king. He was to be stabled. He
was to be poisoned in his medicine. He
wa to be shot with
public mind w.is s
that these lies rca
fiiver bullets. The
-'ore and liable,
lily found credit with
t he vulgar; and two event.-- whicli speedily
took place led even some retkeiing men
:-. -uspect tha? th'j tale, though eviihntly
outcried and exaggerated, might have
Swiae foiuidal'h n.
L jiiiunil Coleman, a very busy and not
vc: v honest ioi::uu Catholic intrader, h:i i
' arm among tt.- pers ::s atcused. Scarcli I
lvas made for his papers. Il was found
that he had ilest.y-d th- greaU-r p.'.rt of!
them. liut si few which escaped, con- j
taile d borne -a-sagc-s which, to minds i
fitroniilv preiHjsscsscd. milit seem to eon- !
Ill'm lIiC vvnienees c-t iates. ihc-se pas- j
sages, indeed, vl"n candidly eonMrued,
appear to epn.-s little more than
the hopes which the postures of affairs,
the predilections of Charles, the still
stonger prcdilectiii'.s of James, and the
relations existing between the French and
English courts, might naturaiij excitt: in
the mind of a Roman Catholic strongly
attached to the interests of his church.
Hut the country was not then inclined to
construe the letters of 1'apists candidly ;
and it was urged, with some show of rea
son, that, if papers which had been pass
ed over as unimportant, were filled with
matter so suspicious, t-ome great mystery
of iniquity must have been contained iu
those documents which had been carefully
committed to the names.
The capital and the w hole nation went
mad with hatred and fear. T he penal
laws, which had began to lose soniethiiig
of their edge, were charpened anew.
Everywhere justices were busied in search
ing huuscs and papers. All the jails were
tilled with 1'apists. London had the as
pect of a city in a state of siege. The
train bands were under arms all night.
1 'reparations were made for barricading
the great thoroughfares. l'atrols marched
up and down the street. Cannon were
planted round Whitehall. No citizen
thought himself safe unless he carried
under his coat a small flail loaded with
lead to brain the Popish assassins.
The house insisted that a guard should
be placed in the vaults over w hich they
sate, in order to securo them against a
second Gunpowder Plot. All their pro
ceedings were of a piece with this demand.
To such a temper had eighteen j'ears of
misgovernraent brought the most loyal
Parliament that had ever met in En-
O
land.
Meanwhile, the courts of justice, which
ought to be, in the midst of political com
motions, sure places of refuge for the in
nocent of every party, were disgraced by
wilder passions and fouler corruptions than
were found even on tho huitingft. The
EBENSBURG, PA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY
tale of Oates, though it had sufficed to
convulse the whole realm, would nut, until
confirmed by other evidence, suffice to
destroy the humblest of those whom he
had accused. For, by the old law of
England, two witnesses are necessary to
establish a charge of treason But the
success of the first imposture produced its
natural consequences. In a few weeks he
had been raised from penury and obscu
rity to opulence, to power, which made
him the dread of princes and nobles, and
to notoriety such as has for low and hard
minds all the attractiveness of glory. He
was not long without coadjutors and ri
vals. A wretch named Carstairs who
hud earned a living in Scotland by going
disguised to conventicles and then inform
ing against the preachers, led the way.
Bedloe a noted swindler, followed ; and
soon from all the brothels, camblinjr
houses, and spuiiginjr houses of London,
WHneses Pnmm tortn to swear away
e lives of Roman Catholics. One came
with a story about an army of 30,000
men, who were to muster in the disguise
of pilgrims at Corunna, and to sail thence
to Wales. Another had been promised
canonization and five hundred pounds to
murder the king. A third had stepped
into an rating house in Covent garden,
and had there heard a great Roman Cath
olic banker vow, in the hearinjr of all the
guests and drawers, to kill the heretical
tyrant. Oates, that he might not be
eclipsed by his imitators, soon add -d a
large supplement to his original narrative
He had the potentious impudence to af
firm amupg other things, that he had once
stood behind a door which was ajar, and
had there overheard the queen declare
that she luul resolved to give her consent
to the assassination of her husband. The
vulgar believed, and the highest magis
trates pretended to believe, even such lie
tioin as these. The chief judges of the
realm were corrupt, erne! and timid. The
leader? of the connSry part;. encouraged
l!'. ptnaili.ig !!; :n. 'i n.; ms re
spectable among them, indeed, were them
seUea so far d. hnled as to believe the
greater part of li.e et Hence of the plot to
Ik; true. Such men as Shafisbury and
Ru'-kiirdium Joiihfiess fierceived that the
whoie was a romance. i?s-i it was a ro-
mance which Fined their turn, and to
! their seared consciences the death of an
itmoccnt man avc no more uneasiness
than the death of a partridge. Tlu ju
ries partook of the fcehiigs then common
throughout the nation and were encour
aged by the bt-nch to indulge those feel
ings vithout lesiraint. The muiriru.'e
applauded Oates, and his conh -derates
hooted and pelted the witnesses who ap
pear on behalt ol the accused, and shouted
with joy when the verdict of guiliy was
pronounced.
Tlie Sequel Years After.
Some of these wretches were aiready
berond the reach of human justice. Bc
dois had died in his wickedness, without
rvmorse or shame. Dugdale had follow-

by the furies of an evil conscience, and
with loud shrieks imploring those who
stood roui-d his led to take away Lord
i Stafford. Carstairs, too, was gone. His
end was all horror and despair ; and with
his last breath he had told his attendants
to throw him into a ditch like a dog, for
that he was not lit to sleep in a Christian
burial-ground. But Oates and Danger
field were still w ithin the reach of the
stern prince whom they had wronged.
Two bills of indictment against him
(Oates) for perjury had been found by the
Grand Jury of Middlesex, a few weeks
liefore the death of Charles. Soon after
the close of the elections the trial came
on.
On the dar in which he was brought
to the bar, Westminster Hall was crowd
ed with spectators, among whom were
many Roman Catholics eager to see the
misery and humiliation of their persecu
tor. A few years earlier, his short neck,
his legs uneven as those of a badger, his
forehead low as that of a baboon, his
purple cheeks, and his monstrous length
of chin, had been familiar to all who fre
n uen ted the courts of law. He had then
been the idol of the nation. Wherever
he had apjeared men had uncovered their
heads to him. The lives and estates of
the magnates of the realm had been at
his mercy. Times had now changed;
and many who had formerly regarded him
as
tl.o deliverer of his country, shuddered.
at the sight ot those hideous leatures on
which villainy seemed to bo written by
iho. hand of God.
It was proved beyond all possibility of
doubt that this man had, by false testi
mony, deliuerately murdered several guilt
less persons. He called in vain on the
most eminent members of the parliament
which had rwwdd and extolled bioo, t
give e idence in his favor. Some of those
whom he summoned absented themselves.
None of them said anything tending to
his vindication. One of them, the Earl
of Huntingdon, bitterly reproached him
with having deceived the houses, and
dnwn on them the guilt of shedding in
nocent blood.
He was convicted on both indictments.
His offence, though, in a moral light,
murder ot the most agravatcd kind,
the most agravatcd kmu, was, ;
'e of the law, merely a misde- ;
in the eve
meaner
1 lie tribunal, however, was de- j
sirous to make his punishment more severe
tiian that of felons or traitor?, and not
merely to put him to death by frightful
torments. lie was sentenced to be strip
ped of his clerical habits, to be pilloried
in Palace Yard, to be led round West
minster Hall, wilh an inscription declaring
his infamy over his head, to be pilloried
again in front of the Royal Exchange, to
be whipped from
Aldgate
to Newgate,
ana utter a;i interval of two days to be
whipped Iroin Newgate to Tyburn. If
against all probability he should happen
to survive this horrible infliction, he was
to be kept close prisoner during life. Five
times every year he was to be brought
forth from his durgeon and exposed on
the pillory in different parts of the capital.
This rigorous bcutence was rigorously
executed.

The New Orleans Ptcagune say the
affair of the Waehusett and Florida, in
the port of Brazil, has suddenly attracted
public interest toward Brazil, of which
little is heard in this country, except on
some special occasion of a passing im
portance. Yet Brazil has a larger terri
torial area than any other State in Ameri
ca, North or South, even exceeding that
of the United States in their entirety, in
cluding the territories. I he area of the
United States and territories is 2,819,811
square mile ; that of Brazil is 147,62-1
geographical square miles. A geograph
ical square milo contains 21 English
.-quurc miles (nearly 21. 2G), and tha area j
ot Brazil is, therefore, S 727, 70S square
miles. lis jrreatest breadlh is 2.450 mliw,
English, and its greatest length 2,030.
The indentations of the sea give it a coast
line on the estimate of nearly four thous
and miles.
It is divided into twenty provinces,
containing a population, by u census j
taken in 18o7, of 7,G77,8u0 nuw esti- j
mated at l),0i0,00t) a Very motley race; i
.v bites, mixed breeds of whites, Indians j
and negroes, Arabs, and the unmixed ab- j
original savag.s. The unmixed and j
Arabs isre nearly all slaves. The free j
population is of every shade and hue, (
p;.pogated by untrammelled " free love."
Mis.ce'"-nati n has full sway there, and j
the results are
fctudy of political
philosophers.
Brazil is the American example of con
stitutional monarchy, li is governed by
a hereditary Emcror, and has at this
lime the great advantage of having :.t the
hea l of the empire a man of ability, cul
tivation, and high personal qualities.
Don Pedro II. is in the prime of bis life,
lie will not be 30 years of age until the
2d of December. He succeeded to the
throne when quite a child, iu 1831, on
the abdication of his father, Don Pedro,
of Portugal. The late Queen of Portu
gal, Donna Maria, was a daughter of
Don Pedro, and sister of the piesent Em
peror ot Brazil. The government was
conducted by a regency until the young
Emperor assumed the reins of govern
ment for himself, and was crowned in
1811. His education was very carefully
conducted, and he is a remarkable man
lor his love of fctudy, and the extent and
variety of his accomplishments, and not
less for his attention to public affairs and
his sincere desire to promote the welfare
of his subjects. Ihe Emperor having
two
children both daughters, ol
iie eldest, Isabella, 18 years of
;e, i.'
hc-.rv-s presumptive ; tue second,
daughter, and last bom child, is 17 years
of atie.
The Emperor has two sisters, the elder
of which is married to the Count Aquia,
brother to the expected King of Naples,
and the younger to the Prince de Joinville,
of the French House of Orleans. Her
son, by this marriage, is or was recently,
a lieutenant in the navy of the United
States. His French title is Duke of
Penthievre. It would have been an odd
accident, but very probable, for the Em
peror's nephew to have been on the XV n
chusset, in the affair at Bahia. The Em
press Dowager, step-mother of the Em-
pcror Don Pedro, wiio is sun living ai
Rio Janeiro is daughter of Eugene Beau
harnaia. Vice King of Italy, brother of
Queen Hortense, the mother of the prcs
ot Emperor of the FrencJh.

is a General Assemblv. composed of two
legislative houses, a Chamber of Denu- '

two members and a SLnate of fif:y-e'rdit
members for the empire; and for each of !
the provinces there is a legislative As

President, appointed by the Emperor.
The President who conducted the Bra

Florida affair, is the Emperor's Repre

Brazil do not vote directly for Senators or

selects one third. Senators are for life.
Suffrage in Brazil is very general, but
it is limited very much in the functions it
exercisi s.

of high character, w hich avows belief in

food. The stranger stopped at a farm
bouse, and, after nome hesitation, asked
for a meal. The rancliero, who was well-to-do
in the world, at once granted tha
request. Entering in conversation with
the t-tranger, be found that he was trying
to make his way to the mines, but mis
calculating the expense of the route, had
found his m?.ns inadequate to bear him
to his journey's end. The rancheru was
so impressed with his story that he vol
untarily loaned the needy adventurer a
sum of money to help him to his desti
nation. Time sped with its chances and
changes, and found the once prosperous
ranebero despoiled of his little property,
seeking a precarious subsistence in San
Francisco, and getting a livelihood with
difficulty at that. buch was the condi
tion of affairs, when several weeks since,
a chowy carriage drove up to the poor
man's door.
A richly attired gentleman allighted
therefrom. It proved to be the jwnniless
adventurer whom the now reduced ran
chero had once so generously assisted.
Luck had changed with the former. Ha
had made some money in the placers;
had traveled thence to Wa.-hoe. and en
gaged in the silver mines, amassed, like
many others once poor, a rapid fortune.
He had come to invite his benefactor,
with his family, to ride, for the purposa
of taking a look at a neat cottage which
lie had just purchased in the suburbs.
The party rode forth in high spirits. Tho
morning was fine and the air exhilorating.
In due time they arrived at the cottage,
