other dates 5 conftitutes Taddeo Barzozowfkt, ad interim , 
General, of the Company of Jefus 5 lawfully delegates to 
liim and the other members of the company all fuitable 
and neceffary powers, to receive and diltribute thofe who 
may wilh to enter the order among the different colleges, 
where they dial! conform their mode of life to the rules 
prefcribed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, It alfo declares, 
thot they “ may freely and lawfully apply to the educa¬ 
tion of youth in the principles of the Catholic faith, and 
to direfct colleges and feminaries; likewife hear confellions, 
preach the word of God, and adminifter the facrarpents 
in the places of their refidence,” The molt offenfive paf- 
fage is in the concluiion ; it prefents a clear view of the 
pope's pretenfions: “ We ordain, that the prefent letters 
be inviolably obferved, according to their form and te- 
nour, in all time coming; that they enjoy their full and 
entire effect; that they fhall never be iubmitted to the 
judgment or revifion of any judge, with whatever power 
he may he clothed.” Again ; “ Should any one attempt 
to infringe, or by an audacious temerity oppofe, any part 
of this ordinance, let him know that he will thereby incur 
the indignation of Almighty God, and of the holy apof- 
tles Peter and Paul." Thus the pope, wliofe firmnefs was 
admired even by his perfecutors while he was at Fontaine¬ 
bleau, has entirely loft his credit fince he has proceeded 
to re-eftablilh the Jefuits and perfecute the Freemafons. 
The emperor of Germany, however, is not convinced, 
like the pope, of the neceffity of recalling the' Jefuits. 
The holy father made feveral ineffectual attempts to ob¬ 
tain their re-eftabliffiment in the Auffrian hates. His 
majeffy gave a decided refufal. We truft the king of 
France will do the fame 5 and, as to Rulfia, it is to be 
remembered, that Paul does not reign there at prefent. 
In Spain and Portugal, it is molt likely the Jefuits will 
be cordially received : they had always been the chief 
directors of the Inquifition, now lo happily reltored by 
Ferdinand, the Beloved.— -Robertfon's Hifi. cfCfta. V, Emil-

Xozenge, in heraldry, a four-cornered figure refem-

lozenges, (fee Heraldry, vol. ix,. p. 427, 435. and 
Plate I. XVI. XXXIX. XLVII. CVII.) yet they differ 
with refpeCt to the caufes that gave rife to it. Plutarch 
fays, in the life of Thefeus, that in Megara, an ancient 
town of Greece, the tomb-ftones, under which the bodies 
of the Amazons lay, were (haped after that form ; which 
tome conjecture to be the caufe why ladies have their arms 
on lozenges. Petra SanCta will have this flffeld to repre- 
fient a cvfkion, whereupon women ufed to fit and fpin, or 
do other honfewifery. Sir J. Feme thinks it is formed 
from the fbield called tejjira , which the Romans, finding 
unfit for war, did allow to women to place their enfigns
