" I form the Light and create Darkness, I nuke Peace astd create Evil, I the Lord do all these things." The tendency of the SerrOon wept ; to shew, that although evil came from the Lord, yet ;hat men brought it upon themselves by repeated., ads of wickedness, provoking the •Divine vengeance. From hence he took occasion to incu'cate the neces. city of ametyded condud, in order to avert the evils : which impended, and by virtuous and religious lives to appease the offended Deity, so . . that we should have his strong arm to support us in any conflia we . • might have to sustain, for life and liberty.

Amongst others the Infant Corps of Volunteers should not he forgotten, who marched. to Church from their Parade in Cecii-street; with Drums beat ing and Colours flying, and aftertheir return again paraded about the streets, attraeting an immense crowd by the novelty of their appearance. It is needless to particularize all the different Corps. The Churches throughout the Metropolis 'Were thronged with the Patriot Suns of Britain, in their martial habiliments, who evinced that true piety which ever accompanies a just cause.• POOLE, OCT. 19. Two Troops of the Yeoman Cavalry, com manded by Lord DottcHersß, are exvated here in the course of the week, 'to go Into quar ters ; the remaining Troops go to Weymouth and Dorchester.

A seizure of zneasks of foreign spirits was this morning brought in, anti secured in His Majesty's warehouse at this Port, by Mr. FARRIS, Mace of Seagull Cutter. Last Saturday a very genteel looking man, sup posed to he a Spy,. was apprehended near Maker Heights, Plyinouth, He was carried before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, Dock Attendant, for examina. lion. He slept at Crumil Passage, and was taking plans of Whitsand Bay, below Ram Head : said he knew Colonel Sir W. LEMAN, Bart. of the Royal Cornwall Regiment, very well. On, being asked which was Sir W..LEmAN among . the Officers, he pointed out Lieut., Col. PitTrzw, who is completely digeren: in appearance and size. He said he had great friends in London, who have been sent to according to the addresses of their residence given in by thia.young man. He was ,remanded to the Gate House for further examination. There is every reason to suppose he had a companion with him, who landed on the coast from an American . Vessel a few days since. The 'other person has escaped and gone into Cornwall search is making after him,, to see` if this mysterious affair can be developed. This morning . an alarming are broke out, .and destroyed one of the new houses in Woburn.place, Russell-square. It raged with great fury, under a briik wind, for near an honr, before any water could be procured ; a delay that was .highly dan gerous to the neighbourhood v and which certai. ly deserves some notice from the Agents of the New River Company. A stable in the MeWs behind Wo. burn.place caught fire, •and was buintan the ground without any engine having water to play pn it. The house was not occupied, by any family, and, We understand, .had only a woman, placed in it by the builders.
