PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 14.
On Tuesday the firft instant, the General
Aflcmbly of the Presbyterian Church 1n the
Unoited States of America cloted their ses
sions in this city. During this meeting
they had the most flattering accounts of the
progreflive slate of religion within their lim
ms. Agrecably to a cuflom lately adopted,
the Assembly devoted a-day to an examioa
tion of the fubje&t, when each member com
municated his lccal information to the as
sembly. The refalt will be bzft exprefled
.in theirr own werds. It will be publithed
to the world as a part of the Journals of the
Aflembly. Buttograify the impauenceof
a pious curicfity, we take the hiberty of an
ticipating the contemplated publication, by
publithing this intrefting article as tollows:
T he affeinbly, having heard from cach of
their members, a circumf{tantial account of
the slate of religion, in those places to which
his observation had extended, are happy to
state, as the result, thatthere appears 10 be
cause of mutual congratulation,
«Though vice and immorality fiil too
much abound aud though in some chorches,
lukewarmness and formality prevail, jn gen
cral appearances are more favourable than
usual. The inflaence of Chrniftianity, dar
ing the last year, appears to have been pro
greflive, and in many places the ordinances
of the gospel, have been autended with very
extraordinary fuccefls. From the east, from
the weft from the nosth and from the south,
the most pleasing intelligeuce has been recei
ved. Wish joy have the aflembly heard of
the glad udings of the outpouring of the di
vine {pirit, and of times of retrefhing from
the presence of the Lord.
“‘Revivals of a more or less general na
ture, have taken place in many of cur Prel
byteries. The prous have beeh quickned,
the daring arrefled, the haughty humbled,
and many, once thoughtlels finoers haye’
been added to the church. “
“In some parts of the states of Virginia and
North Carolina, the spirit of God has, we
trust been poured out in an extraordinay
manner, and by accounts received from Ken
tucky and Teneflee, the unnfual work there,
of which the aflembly have been heretofore
informed, appears, during the jaft year, ta
have been, progressive. Doubtless, -as the
nature of the revival there at filft appear
ed, from the very fiogular circumfances
that attended it, the assembly do excedingly
rejoice, that in its progre(s abundant evidence
has beeo given, thar its author is God and
nseffefls desirable. The afpe& of an exten
sive country has been changed from levity
to_ferioufnefs , fcoffers silenced, and ihon.
sands convinced ¢ of sin, of righteousness,
and of judgmeni” 1o come, In these things
the assembly trace the footfteps of Jehovah,
and recognize the operation of his promis
ing {pirit, :
Though in some of the middle and louth.
ern Presbyteries appearances are not so fa
voarable, yet even from these the assembly
are happy to learn, that in many churches,
there is an increased refpcét for the inflitu
tions of religion, and in some a hopeful at
tention to its importance. |
*'The influence of that ¢¢ vain philofophy,’
which had f{pread its infe&ion thro’ many
of our cities ; and even infitsared itfelf into
the remote parts of our country corrupting
society, and poifoing the very prineiples of
moral aftion, has been greatly diminished.
Infidelity, whichafew years since, threat
ewed by its artfal feduions to undermine
the foundations of virtue and by open assaults
to break down the barriers of religion, now
seldom heard of in many of the congregations
within our bounds. Some of its champ.
ions have been arrefled by foversign grace, |
and humbled at the foot of Emmanuel’s
cross. Cenquered by that Jesus whom they
once despised and infolted, they now hail
him as their king, and shine among the liv
ing members of his church. Many of their
companions, awed at these conquefls, have
retired from public view, and hid themselves
in silence. Thus while ¢ the enemy was
comigg in like a fload, the {pirit of the Lord
lifted up a flandard againfl him. The floods
have hified up O Lord; and floods have lif
ted up their voice ! but thou art mightier
than they.” = 2 S

Extract from a letter from Baffaterre, da
ted May 29, 1802.
“I will give you some account of our
uohappy fitvation. Onthe gsth, at Point.
a-Petre there was a very severe and decisive
battle. The negroes to the number of 4000
were on the point of entering the city, and
they would bave succeeded had not a divi
sion, which the General sent for cur pro
teflion, arrived in season ; but our troops
attacked them on La Morne Bru<la where
they were entrenched—jsoo remsined on
the ficld, besides 300 prisoners who were
taken. Ignace was killed, and his bead
carried through the fireets at the end of a
prke. Palerme who was one of their chiefs
blew his brains out, and the remainder of
the army was routed. . Notwithflanding,
thele rascals agaio assembled, and plundered
and {et fire to every thing in their way,—
The commune at Port Libre has not yet
been burnr, but they are under grear appre
hensions there, and have sent huher 10 re
quest of the General in Chief, a frigate and
some troops. The request was immediate
ly complied with, and the frigate is under
way. I cannot give you any aews of the
commune of L’Ance Bertrand.
‘ At Bafleterre, after the evacvation of
the fort on the 22d, (at 10 o’clock at night)
the rebels encamped on the heights of Pal
mifle, in order to gain Matouba, where they
hzd cftablifhed several posts, with fcme ficld
preces., The General nct being able 10
bring them to their daty by perlvalion, gave
ordeis for the attack, which was begun on
the 23d, at 7 o’clock, p. M. in three co
lumns. They had cat away the bridge of
Matcuba, which made it impeflible to come
at them on that fide. Onxe of our columis
attacked them in the rear above La Salle,
the two others upon ancther quarter. When
they perceived our objeét they repaired to
their post ar Englemont, which was their
head guarters and magazine. Our trcops
peiceived them and were preparing to at
tack them with the bayonet, when they saw:
Delgres, who commanded them in person,
set fire 10 the powder-magazine, which im
mediately blew up and they all penfhed.
About 95 ot our brave grenadiers (two of
them afficers) who had enteréd the entrench
ment, were killed in the explchion, The

were {evesal white peopie, prisoners. At
Matouba, a great many have been murder
ed ; amonrglt them, cld Lafond and his son,
Roseau, &c. Ignace, ufier attacking the
Point, and sashing in his attempr, blew out
his brains. Kirwen did the fame at Ma
touba. At prelent; of the leaders, there is
Mafloto, and a Negro, the former com
mandant of the Point, but they are without
means of jefiftance. . Oune of the ring

he was the negro that disarmed the national

taking of Matouba was very severe ; the ac
tion commenced 2t 4 o’cleck in the morn
