'Photigh we are justified, or admitted into covenant with d, through th e m e rits of Chi ist, if we have but fa i th i n those !nvrits, and though we are thus admitted even before o ur faith h as produced ' good works, does not the performance of good works, when we arc admitted into covenant with nod, become thenceforth a bo unden duty ? 2. Do all men, who have been admitted into covenant with God, perform that bounden duty ? 3. Does not then experience shew, that the Faith, which ad been sufficient for our admission to the Christian Cove nt, is not always productive of that fruit, which is wanted, ardor to remain there ? 4. Though the twelfth Article declares, that good works spring out necessarily of a lively Faith, are they a necessary consequence of Faith in general ? 5. Is there nut a dead Faith, as well as a lively Faith ? And doss not St. James give the former appellation to the Faith which remains unproductive of good works? 6. Though good works then are the natural fruits of Faith, are they the necessary fruits of Faith, or fruits which follow of necessity ? 7. If our Faith should not be productive of good works, will our admission to the Christian Covenant ensure our ar rival at the completion of it ? In other words, will the Justi fication, which takes place in the present life, ensure our everlasting Salvation, or happiness in the life to come ? a. Does not the sixteenth Ar ticle declare, that we may depart front grace, and fall into sin ? 9. Does the same Article say more, than that we " may arise again, and amend our lives:" And does it not thus im ply that we may not arise again, and amend our lives? to. Does it not then foll ow from the sixteenth Atticle, hat Justification leads not of neces sit y to everlasting Salva on ? .. Is not then the performance of good works a condition of everlasting Salvation, though not of Justification ? (a) 12. Are conditions of Salvation incompatible with the doc trine, that Salvation is the free gift of God ? Or mu st we not a rather enclude from the very c i rcums t anc e, that on the part of God the gift is free, he may annex to the offer whatever conditions he thinks proper to prescribe (h) ? 13. Are not those conditions repeatedly declared in Holy Scripture? 14. Has not Christ himself decla red that he shall 'r reward every man according to his works (c) ;" and that they only, who have done good, shall come to the resurrection of life (d)? 15. Has not St. Paul also declared, that God " will render .to every man, according to his deeds (e) ?" 16. Does not St. James ask the question, Can Faith save us ? And does be not himself answer the question by saying that " Faith, if it bath not works, is dead (f) ?" (a) Namely as the terns Justification is used in St. Paul's Epistles, and in our Articles ? St. James uses it in a different sense: and therefore does not contradict tit. Paul. (b) Xccpto - .1„%, the word used by St. Paul, clearly shows that it is the giver, not the receiver, who is free from oh' gation. See Rom. v. 15, 16. (c) Matth. xvi. 2 7. (e) Rom. ii. 6. CHAPTER P _ REDESTINATION• I. Does not the seventeenth Article enumerate various qua. lities, as belonging to those persons, who are predestined to eternal life? 2. Is it not one of those qualities, that " they walk reli giously in good works ?" 8. Is not therefore the walking religiously in good works a criterion, by which they who are predestined to eternal life may be distinguished from those who are not so predestined ? 4. Does not our Saviour declare, that we shall be known by our works, as a tree is known by its fruit (a) ? 5. Does not St. Peter declare, that we are elect, according to the foreknowledge of God, unto obedience (b) ? 6. Is it not therefore a contradiction both to Scripture, and to the seventeenth Article, to assert, that the Decrees of God are absolute; or that election, on the part of God, has no re ference to foreseen good conduct on the part of Man ? 7. If we believe, that in respect to 4 future state, neither our good conduct can excite any reasonable hope, nor our bad conduct any reasonable fear, is there any thing beyond the dread of temporal punishment, to deter us from the commis sion of crimes? 8. Is not the Law of God, which, when rightly under stood, affords an additional sanction to the Law of Man, 60 perverted by such a belief, as to become the means of coon- ttracting the Law of Man 9. Is not such a belief injurious also to the individual, as well as to h Society at laige by exciting ungrounded hopes in t e confident hypocrite, an d driving modest virtue to despair ? 10. Though the Creator is not accountable to the Creature, and his will alone determines who shall be elected to eternal life, is it credible that a Being of infinite wisdom, justice, and goodness should elect on any other principles, than such as are consistent with those attributes ? 11. And does not absolute or indiscriminate election au nul the distinctions of good and evil, of virtue and vice ?- 12. Is therefore such election possible, on the part of a Being, who is infinitely wise, just, and good ? (a) Matti): vii. 16-21. xii. 33-35. Luke. vi. 43-45. rb) 1 Peter i. 2. (d) John v. 29.

Are we not spiritually born, whe❑ wo enter into Cove nant with God ? 3. Do we not enter into Covenant with God, through Christ, at our Baptism ? 4. When the outward sign is a►ily accompanied with the inward grace, are we not then born (in the words of our Sa viour, John iii. 5.) of " Water and the Spirit ?" 5. Does not our baptismal service accordingly declare .tbat we are regenerated at our Baptism 6. Does it make any exception or reservation on that head? 7. Is not our New or Spiritual Birth, as well as our First or Natural Birth, au event, which happens only once in our lives ? 8. If then we believe in the doctrine of our Church, that the New Birth takes place at Baptism, can we believe that they, who have been baptized according tot he rites of that Ch u rch, will he regenerated at auy other period ? CHAP. VIII.-OF RENOVATION. 1. Though at our Baptism we became regenerate, and were made the children of God by adoption and grace, does not the infirmity of our nature still require, that we should " daily be renewed" by the same Spirit (a) ? 1. Does the assistance, which we thus receive from the Hol Spirit, display itself by sensible impulses, or do we cove y r this assistance only front thc, effects, which it pro duces ? 3. Does not St. Paul describe the fruits of the 1-loly Spirit ? And do not those fruits consist in " goodness, and righteous- lieu, and truth (b) ?" . 4. If we wish then to know, whether we are assisted by the Holy Spirit, must we not examine, whether we have attained to " goodness, and righteousness, and truth ?" 5. And if we have nut these fruits o p f the Spirit, is it not p re sumptuous to imagine, that the Spirit of God ellen' in us ? ' 6. Do not even the best of men require, during the whole course of their lives, the aid of the Holy Spirit, to secure them from the danger of sin ? 7. Is it not then presumptuous to suppose, that at any pe riod of our lives, we can have become, either so perfect, or so secure, as to have no longer need 'of Renovation (a) See the Collect for Christmas Day.

In the course of con versation, one of them asked the other to whom he meant to give his vote ? When his friend replied, "To Paull certainly ; for though I think him but a shabby sort of a fellow, I would vote for any one rather than that rascal Sheridan!" " Do you know Sheridan ?" inquired the stranger; 44 Not I, Sir," an swered the Gentleman, " nor should I wish to know him." The conversation dropped here; but when the party alighted to breakfast, Sheri dan' called aside the other gentleman, and said, " Pray who is that very agreeable friend of yours ? h he is one of the pleasantest fellows I ever met with; and I should be glad to know his name " His name is Mr. T. ;he is an eminent Lawyer, and resides in Lincolns- Inn-fields." Breakfast over, the party resum ed their seats in the coach ; soon after which, Sheridan turned the discourse to the law.— " It is," said he, " a fine profession." Men may rise from it to the highest eminence iri the State; and it gives vast scope to the display of ta lent ; many of the most virtuous and noble characters recorded in our hisory have been Lawyers. I am sorry, howeve t r, to add, that some of the greatest rascals have also been Lawyers ; but of all the rascals of Lawyers I ever heard of, the greatest is one T. who lives in Lincoln's Inn-fields." The gentleman fired at the charge, said very angrily, " am Mr. T. Sir," CC And lam Mr. Sheridan," was the reply. The jest was instantly seen ; they shook hands, and instead of voting against the facetious Orator, the lawyer exerted himself warmly in pro moting his election. The " Navigation Act," ]sassed at the las Session of Con gre ss, went into operation on the 2d ult. This Act prohibits the importation into the United States from the British West India islands of any articles other than the produce of those islands. Congress is to assemble on the 13th inst.; and one of the Ist subjects submitted to their attention will be the state of the trea sury. It is supposed that a deficit will be exhi bited of several millions of dollars. According to accounts received at New York from Nova Scotia, the prosperity of the colony has been much impeded by several destructive fires, which have broken out in different parts of it nearly at the same time, and done much mischief. The Southern States, particularly New Or leans, appear to be suffering from the effects of fevers and epidemic disorders. At the above named city ninety deaths occurred from fever in the first five days of October, notwithstanding it contained little more than a third of its usual population. The tenants who occupy the houses in the Haymarket, upon the site of which the new Theatre is to be erected, have received directions to quit immediately, as the materials of the build ings are to be sold without loss of time, and the whole pulled down. SHIP NEWS, STORM IN THE RIVER PLATE. EXTRACT OF A. LETTER DATED BUENOS AYRES, AUGUST 24. Early on the morning of Sunday, the tOth inst. we experienced one of the severest gales from the south-east, accompanied with the highest tide ever remembered in this place ; and the damage done to the shipping, as well as the town, is very considerable. In L Ensenada nothing material has happened to the shipping ; but we fear for the fate of the vessels that may have en tered the river, the wind being previously fair for that purpose. The following is a list of the vessels wrecked here : ••• • • The Achilles, of London, Tindall, loading for Chili; had a few dry goods on board, which were saved, but very much damaged, and the vessel unfit for sea. The Trafalgar, of Liverpool, Coulson, loading for London' had on board upwards of 10,000 hides, which will be saved, but much damaged ; two of the crew drowned in the main top before assistance could be given them ; the vessel a com plete wreck The Russian ship Hercules, with timber, the English schooner Ann, in ballast, and the French brig IS - avarrois, cannot he gut The American brig Argo, Storey, for the Havannah, with about 1,000 quintals of jerked beef on board, has sunk, hut expected to be raised. The national brigs Adonia and Dispatch, and the polacre San Juan Nepornacia, with about 30 or 40 smacks, schooners, sloops, and lighters, of cations descriptions, engaged in the river trade, have been drivels on shore or sunk, and many lives lost. The Nautilus, Tripe, was ran foul of by the Trafalgar, and sustained considerable damage in her upper works. The brig Peru, for London, grounded on the batik which divides the ►aner from the outer toads, but supposed to have sus tained no damage. The brig Rover unshipped her rudder. Five Government vessels of war (four brigs and a schooner) are missing, reported to be aground up tl►e river. In the village of Las Conchas, about 7 leagues to leeward of this city, upwards of 50 people have been drowned in their houses, from the overflowing of the river. The vessels which rode out the gale all suffered the loss of boats, anchors, &c. The following is a list of the vessels at anchor in the inner and outer roads : - - OUTER ROADS. His Majesty's ships Owen Glendower and Icaros. British ship Mars, loading for Antwerp. Ditto brig Peru, Hasler, cleared for London. Ditto do. Royer, Brown, c:cared for Havannab. Ditto do. Mary, Lowdon, loading for Chili. Ditto do. Heroine, Tapley, arrived from Liverpool., INNER ROADS. British ship Constantia, to land mules. Ditto brig Naixtitus, Tripe, loading for London.

Ditto Harmony, Clarke, ditto San Lucar. National schooner Theodore; French brig Generaba, ar ' rived from Bordeaux; Dutch brig Ainiable Pauline, ditto, ' Antwerp, and two Portuguese brigs. Auo. 26.—The Peru weighed anchor this morning; but, from contrary winds, could not proceed. SficsaNses, Nov. 9.—Arrired the Hercules, Drew, from London, for Jamaica, with loss of an anchor and cable in the Queen's Channel. Captain Drew reports, that he saw the Jolly boat, and some cases and casks, belonging to w the sh he ip Oakes, floating by him at Jay-light this morning, by hich fears she drove on shore last night and went to pieces, as she was yesterday lying at anchor about a mile from the Hercules. Mummify Nov. 9—A brie about 900 tons (name un known), struck on the West Rocks and bilged ; she is laden with grain; by her rolling so much, vessels have been sent to her, but cannot approach her for the sea. It is supposed all her hands are lost, and it is thought, from the number of hands seen in her tops, she had passengers on board.

This populous neighbourhood was thrown into t ohnd m uch contusion, yesterday evening, by a five which broke ou in Mr. Glasier's tim h e r- ya rd, j ust above the burial-gr. in Drury-lane. A more dangerous spot for the occurrence of such au accident could scarcely be pointed out. The prere mises stand within fif t y y ards of the two Theatres, and , a hounded on three sides by narrow courts and alleys. Ihe alarm was given abou t half- p ast Sin the afternoon, anda greatives n umber of worthy person s, who had been amo,wing themse with the Lord Mayor's Show, embrac favodurablequaarn op portunity of fioishior their evening. las so about a ter of an hour the engines of the different companies began to arrive, hut they were unable to penetrate the solid mass of root) which was collected. The firemen literally fought their way; but it was almost doubtful whether they would be enabled to act, when the military destined to guard the Theatre came up, and did good service by removing the idlers. Covent-harden Theatre was in a situation of great risk. It was exposed, driving an hour and a half, to a hem y shower of burning material. No water was obtained until near seven o'clock. The timber burned furiously; and the wind, which just then freshened from the eastward, carried flakes of fire, and pieces of lighted wood, as far as Leicester square. The servants of the theatre, however, exeried themselves with great alacrity, arid no mischief occurred. The loss has bevn considerable,. The timber-yard (insured we understand, with the County-otlice) is, with its contents, entirely clestroyeel; and ten houses adjoining the rear of t tie premises, and fronting into Duke's-court, Crown-court, and Martlett-court, are .materially damaged. Fortunately no one sustained any personal injury. The doors of Covent-garden, as well as those of Drury-lane theatre, remained close(' sonic time after their usual hour of opening--a measure of some prudence; for thy absence of such a precaution might have produced an audience more numerous than profitable' About half past 7 the fury of the flames began to abate; and, by the united exertions of soldiers and constables, the defiles of Bow-street and Little Russell-street were tendered practi cable.
