It is the concludiiz part of your letter, that chiefly en , gages my attention, where you say . as follows As after your departure from England, disputes may arise on the subjea of your writings, and so give ()C.- easion to defend their author against such false re ' ports and aspersions, as they who are no friends to truth may invent to the prejudice of 'hi, reputation, may it not be of use, in order to repel any calumnies of that kind, that you leave behind you some short account of yourself, as concerning, for example, your degrees in, the Universiry, the offices you have boine, your family and conneaions, the honours which I am told hive been conferred upon you, and such other particulars as may serve to the vindication of your chara&er, if attacked, that so any ill-ground ed prejudices may be obviated or removed; for where the honour and interest of truth are concern ed, it certainly behoves us to ernp'oy all lawful me thods in its defence and support.' Atter retleding on the foregoing passage, I was indticed.to comply with your friendly advice by briefly communicating the folloWing circumstances of my life. I was born at Stockholm in the year of our Lord I Gag, Jandary 29. My father's name was Jasper S Wediterg, who was Bishop of West Gathia, and of celebrated chata&er in his time: he was also a mem ber of the Society for the Propagation of the Gos pel, formed on-the model of Ono in England, and apponted President of the Swedish churches in Penn sylvani,, and Ldndon, by King Charles XII. In the year 1710, I began my travels, first into Eng laud, and afterwards into Holland, France, and Germany, and returned home in 1714. In the year 1716, and afterwards I frequently conversed with Charles XII. Kiog of Sweden, who was, pleased to bestow upon me a large share of his favour, and in that year appointed me to the office of Assessor in the Metallic College, in which office I continued from that time till the year 1747, when I quitted the office, but - still retain the salary annexed to it as an appointment for life. The reason of my with drawing from the business of that employment was that I might be more at liberty to apply myself to that new function to which the Lord had called me. About ta.s time .a place of higher dignity in the State was offered me, which I declined to accept, lest it should prove a, snare to me. In 1710, I was .enno bled by .t.,luee.n Ulrica Eleonora, and named Swe denborg, trona which time I have taken my seat, with the Nobles of the equestrian order, in the, triennial assemblies of the States. I ant a fellow, by insita tion„of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Stock hohp, but have never desired to be of any other co:ionunitv, as I belong to the Society of Angels, in which things'spiritual and heavenly are-the only subjects of discourse and entertainment ; whereas in our literary societi,s, the attention is wholly taken up with lions relating to the body and this world. Ira theyear 1734, I published the liegnwirt Minerale at,Leipsic, in three volumes, folio, and in I 735, I took a journey into Italy, and staid a year at Venice and Rome. . With 'expect to my family connections : I had tour sisters; one of them was married to Eric,,Ben zehns, afterwards made Archbishop of Upsal ; and thus I became related to the two succeeding Arch bishops of that See, both named Benzelius, and younger brothers of the former.' Another of my sis ters was married to Lars -Benzelstierna, who was promoted to a provincial- government ; but these are bath dead. However, two Bishops who are re lated to me are still living ; one of them is named Filer.ius, Bishop o: Ostrogoteia, who,now officiates as President of the Ecclesiastical Order in the Gene ral Asiembly at Stockholm, in the room. of the Archbishop, who is infirm ; he married the daugh ter of my sister. The other, who is called Benzel stierna, Bishop of Westmannia and Dalecartia, is the son of my second sister, not to mention others of my family who are dignified. I converse freely, and am in friendship with all the Bishops of my country, who are ten in number, and also with the sixteen Senators, and the rest of the Grandees, who love and honour me, as knowing that I am in fel lowship with angels. The King and Queen them selves, as also the three Princes, their sons, shew me all kind countenance, and I was once invited to eat with the King and,Ctneen at their table, (an honour granted only to the Peers of the Realm) and like wise since that with the Hereditary Prince. All in my own country wish for my return home, so far - am I from the least danger of persecution there, as you seem to apprehend, and a re also so kindly tons to provide against, and should any thing of that kind befal me elsewhere, it will give me no concern. Whatever of worldly honour and advantage may appear tO be in the-things before mentioned, I hold them but as matters of low estimation, when coin- Tared to the honour of that holy office, to which the Lord himself bath called me, wild was gra ciously pleased ,to manifest himself to me, his un worthy servant, in a personal appearance in the year 1743, to open in. me a sight of the spiritual world, and to enable tne to converse with spirits and angels, and this privilege has continued with me to this day. From that time I began to print and publish various unknown arcana, that have been either seen by me or revealed to me, concern ing Heaven and, Hell, the state of men alter ()emit, the true worship of God, the spiritual sense of the Scriptures, and many other-important truths, tend ing to salvation and. true wisdom : and that man kind might receive benefit from these communica tions, was the only motive which has induced me at different times to leave my home to visit other countries. As 'to this world's wealth, I have what is sufficient, and more .I neither seek nor wish for. Your letter has drawn the mention of these things toe,means to in case, as you say, they may be a to prevent or remove any take judgment or ‘crong prejudiceS with regard to my persondl circumstances. Farewel ;' and I heartily* wish pm prosperity both in things spiritual and 4empwal, of which I MPlte no dOubt, if so be you go on to pray to our Lor.J, and to set him always before you. London, 1769. EMAN. SWEDENBORG. 'To Rev. T. Han ky; Itectorbt Winwick. Northamptonshire. 4 ta PEGEit' , & CAisi'4lL. As felt public Works have of late excited greater public interest, and. particularly in those parts of the metropolis, more immediately conneeied with its operation, than the proposed Canal from Padding ton, through Mary-la-bonne. Palk, to Litneliotise, called THE REGENTS CANAL, we deem ho apology necessary for laying before our Readers a concise Report of the leading poitiCB of :he Speech of Mr: \Val reit, as Counsel. for the. Company; to the Corn mittee of the House of Commons, on the Bill Mr. WattasN began, by. congritulatincr the Com mittee; that the opposition to the projected plan had been so 'much narrowed by the amicable adjustment oi - the greater number of the Petitleits against the Bill, either from the parties concerned, being satis fied by the liberality, of the Company, or con-. vinced of the inanifes,t public utility of 'the work. Of the few remaining objeCtions which he had to notice, mad he was sure to combat success fully, the first that presented itself, was one set up by the City of London, all the parts of which had been settled,, except a claim of mere patronage to the metage Of coals, which was left tolhe deci.- ion of the Committee. The ground on which the Company resisted this _claim of patronage, was, that although the City had a jurisdiction of this sort over the . Banks of the Thames, it possessed none over the whole line of the Canal, and that therefore the Compaq was entitled in this respect to lay down their own system of metage, which was one extremely beneficial' to the public. It was beneficial in this way; that whereas by the present-prac tice, all Coals must be meted at the expence of the purchasers, which was a heavy burthen upon them; on the new Canal the metage would be at their option, so that, if they had confidence in the per son with whoM they dealt, they might avoid that gxpence ; while, , rn on the other hand, the tight of insisting-upon an . admeasurement would be secur etho.the as S check against any fraud of which they might be susoicious. The next order of obje6tions flowed from the Commissioners of Sewers for West minster, the Tower Hamlets, and the Division of Finsbury, all, of whom laid claim to certain juris diction, and' the first .mentioned only opposing the Canal, as likely to do them injury, by diverting the water from the necessary purposes of drainage.-- 7 On these points, the Company met their op ponents most fairly ; and told them, that if they could not make out from the most indisputable evi dence, that no injury or damage, such as was sup posed, could by possibility result from their work —if they could not shew that they would leave the iietitiOners in a better condition than they found them, with respe& .to water, for the sewage of. the Me tropolis, that then their Canal must yield to:the force of the obje6lion. But it bad .already been thewn by the petitioners' own witnesses, and would be further established by the testimony of the most able surveyors and engineers, that it was easy to construct sewers, &c. with such a declination , either under the Canal, or in bridges over it, and in so - coMplete and efficient a maniter as to ensure every possible and useful purpo,e.—The same thing had been carried into execution in the Grand Jun lion and many other Canals. With respea to the question of jurisdiction, the, answer of the Company was, that the Comints,ioners had no jurisdiction over the two sources from which they derived their water,(v:4.the Thames, and the reservoir at Finchley), and that consequentlythey could and ought to have none over'it, when brought by the Company at an immense expellee to a pa,ilicutar place, for the purposes of trade, and the service of the community in general. Because; if this were affowed, they might, be. deprived of ttieir watet when most necessary to them , and besides, there were no instances of Commissioners of Sewers being invested with such coutroul ; but on the contrary, they were expressly excluded from, it, by, clauses in most of the great Canal Ads throughout the kingdom, and particultrly near town ; the num ber of Acts of this kind amounting to no fewer than forty..---The next Petition lie had, to no tice was from Mr. Agar, the holder of certain church lands, lona term of thiee lives, on the line of the Canal. Mr. Agar contended that no com pensation could be made to him for the injury he would sustain by the passage of the Canal. through his tenure. But it would be satisfaCtorily proved to the Committee, that this Gentleman had negociated with the ,view of making it a goodbargain of thecon, cern, in which being disappointed, as they could_ not accede to his high demands, the sole ground of his opposition and enmity to every, part of the work was founded; for previous to this period he had even insisted on the cuts not being carried-without the line of his property, and on the wharfs.being placed where they would benefit hint. A further opposi tion to the proposed plan was offered by, a Gentle. man of great respeClability (Mr. Portman), through a corner of whose estate the line of the canal went. It was doebtless natural for men of large property to be desirous of preserving their domain entire ; but in the present, instance, as the Company were aaxious to accommodate Mr. Portmarein every pos sible respect, and their proposed line (which, in his case, it more agreeable to him, they were willing . to continue in the form of a tunnel), separate) only about an acre from the rest, at the extremity of an estate of more than a mile in length, it was pro bable that if (hat Gentleman - were aware of the real state of the case, he s%ould 'not, from so immaterial a cause of supposition of injury, be led to oppose a work of great public utility. Mr. Warren further argued, that the plan, executed 'in any way, would not injure this small 'spot of Mr. P.'s, property, which indeed the Company were Willing to put chase at its utmo.it value. That horn the.deStription of the new buildings (houses of the 3d or 4th class) extending in that quarter, a tunnel could not hurt them ; but that on the contrary, the trade, &c. brought thither by the Canal . , would improve the estate, and greatly facilitate any plan of further building' projected by Mr. Portman, by_ bringing all the materials easily to' the spot. The' Learned Counsel rebutted also a few minor points ol.oejee tion from the parishes of Paddington, Mary •le-bone, and Pancrai, with respect to pumps, steam en gines, and poor-rates. Most of these were already arranged, and the others . 01 so facile solution, th.t they could not stand in the way of. tl:e work ao nra-• terialli advantageous to the trade, comfort, and '6B3beilietfee or the whole nortltoris ant eastern parts of the canal of Great Britain. And indeed die sanieobsertation rnight most jostly extended to every feeling of g private. Lature, is opposition to this salutary measure. Extraa. of a Letter from Leipsic :—" Owing to the different movements of ale Colikderate troops, jointly with those of France, all.business is at a stand in this - City. ; the d:fferent French corps in our neighliourtioA are computed at about 50,000 men, including 13,000 cavn;ry.
