THE NATIONAL REGISTER. OCT. 3. 4A0t...;f. I am not aware that I have written any thing which trip) , be construed as unfavourable to m rality (without which no one can be truly religious, and perhaps without religion no one could be ti lily moral) fur I believe, that without holi ness of life our faith is vain ; I am only solicitous to add ho- Loess of heart thereto; yet I do not believe, that those who de, , end on, faith alone allow themselves a greater latitude in moraiity than those who join works as meritorious thereto. The Evangelists, so far as I know them, certainly do not preach faith without works, nor do some other denomina tions who ate accused of it. They tell us, indeed, that there is no merit in works, hut at the same time they tell us, that they are absolutely necessary, so necessary, that faith with out them is vain, is like tinkling, brass or a sounding cymbal; but in their definition they are esteemed part of faith, true faith and obedience always go together; in short, their faith, so far as I ci:n judge, is a practical faith, always united with works and such as our Saviour preached. If it should be said, that by cknying that works are meritorious and entitled to reward, the chief incitement to good deeds is taken away, I answer, that the Christian has other moi e noble and .power- NI motives of obedience foundtd 01) the p!ssions and not thy - et - toe evanescent, but continually gaining sttenth, as they are not at war with reason, but en:irely consonant to its dictates. t ith respectfnl compliments to my brother Layman (for I am a Layman and of the Church of Engtaud) 1 have the hJnour to be, VLRITATIS AMATOIt.

A paragraph lately appeared in The Plymouth Telegraph, stating; that a son Of General Mmean was then on board the Salvador del Mend° Hag ship, at Plymouth. We understand, isy a letter receiv ed on Thersday ti oat Piysnouth, that the young man still persists in Ins original story, and has exchanged letters w itlt Madame Moreau at Wimbledon. The young inns in question says, that he deserteti fourteen years since from the French army, anti was in the faVIOSS retreat of Moreau ; that he has undergone great varieties of forturtu since he quitted his father ; twee in several CJIIIII VIC?: ; and has.- big, in London, obtained souse acquaintance with the use of joiner's tools, entered into the navy, and was final!y entered on the hooka of the Salvador del Mundo as a carpenter. Ile now belongs to the carpenter's crew—has been two year on board fte ship, (hiring which time, until the distiosurv, he has never quitted her,, haviex had, as he says, no desire to visit a shore of which he knew nothing, and where he had no friends. So:ra after that Gencval Moreau had arriVed in S we:lea, the youth waited on Capt. Nash, of the Salva dar,.and made the disclosure. Capt. N. much surprised, acquainted , Sir R. Calder, Port• Admiral, and the consequence has been unlimit ed liberty to the young min to vi%it the shere, and facilities were allowed to enahle him to prose his identity. He instantly com menced a correliondence ith his mother, as he terms her, and fire exchange of letters still continues; in the first answer of Madam. Moreau, she observe., that she lost a son of his age, ab:.ot the time See says ie deserted, but that he was killed-in battle, and prays bina earnestly to give her immediate proof;, if he has such, of her still having a child whom she had long since 'medic' ed with the dead. the young man in qinAion, we understand, bears au excellent cha racter on board the ship, speaks several languages fluently, and is considered as a linguist on boa: d. [This statement, which we take from The Moruing Post, is per. reedy eerrect. We have aceertained that a young mate such as this bill virtual is represented, has actually written several letters to Ma dame Moreau, whom he styles " Isis mother." There is but one trifling difficulty in the ease, he is older than Madame Moreau /I GENERAL MOREAU, A M IDAME MOREAU.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER. The exertion% of the farmers, aided by the fine weather of last month, has iiecurd one of the anost productive harvests within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Britain's autumnal store's were never more abundant. and tile grateful heart never had more cause to return thanks for the bounty which Ino , been so liberally bestow. ed. It is evident, from the extended cultivation of the waste lands, ;aid the appearance of the country, as well as from the provincial lc:ports, that this isian:l nevor contained so lar:ze a portion of man tool.--The wheat crop has proved heavy 1 , 1 hand, free from smut and mildew, and the corn large and of the finest quaiity, except in a few situations, where the straw was thrown down.
