100 feet above,and are at the distance of 80 rods from
the sea, with a graduul descent to the waler, where
there is & safe harbour, of casy access, with good an
ohprage. Of these Mines, *“ The Aguedneck Coal
Company,” a legully constituted Corporation, are the
Proprictors. The principal works are situated on «
lot uwned by the Company,containing sixteen or sev
entecn ucres, bounded easterly on the road leading
to the, new Stone-Bridge. Ou this lot are various
buildings, consisting of a dwelling-house barn,store,
&c. the prorert‘}" of the Company. The Coal at the
pits on the lot, fius been penetrated thirty feet per.
pendicular, without going through the layer, and the
decper it is penetrated, the more it is found to im
prove in quality and purity. During the summer
past, from ten to twelve chuldrons a day, for a month
or six weeks together, have been raised from these
pits, with only six labourers; and one of the most
expericneed Miners in the United States hus offered
to contract to raise, with twelve labourcrs,one thous.
and bushels per day. In the next adjoining lot,own.
ed by Benjamin Brownellcontaining eleven or twelve
acres, the Company hold the right of digging and
exploring, &e. and to alkthe Coal, Miner.ls, Metals,
&c. without percentage or deduction. The Coal on
this lot has been penetrated more than forty feet pei
pendiculnr, Another adjoining lot north, of twelve
acres, with a dwelling-house thereon, is owned by
the Company. The next adjoining lot sou.h, of 12
acres, is likewise owned by Benjomin Brownell, bu
subject tothe right of the Company of digging, &c.
with the sole right in the Coal, Minerals, Metals,
&c. without percentage or deduction. ‘Lhe Conpa
ny own the next lot of one acre, across the highw.y,
with a dwelling-house thercon. In the adjoining lot
south, of four acres, they have the right as in tle
otiicrs abovementioned, to the Coal, Mectals, &c¢ &c.
without percentage or deduction,
.In alot belonging to John B. Cook, of about six
or seven acres, the Company hold the right of dig
gng.(,'oal,&c‘ paying 3 1.2 per cent. On another be
ngng to Siplien Brownell, the bame right at 2 per
cent. On another lot of twenty-three acres, belong
ing to Ldward Hall, the same rightat 3 1.2 per cent.
In another lot of thirty acres, a quarter of a mile
northwest from the Company's principal works, the
#ame right at 2 per cent. Half amile west, adjoin.
ing the sca, the same right to between twenty and
thirty acres at 2 per cent. At Bristol Ferry a like
right and privilege in between ﬁf?' and sixty ucres
at § per cent. On the eust shore, the said Company
have a like right and privilege in ene hundred and
fifty acres, by paying one hnlfzf the nett profits, in
case the Mines are opened and worked.
All of which will be fully verified by reference to
the Books of Land Evidence in the Clerk’s Office of
the town of Pertsmouth, and to the books and docu
ments of the JAquedneck Coal Company.
This Company’s Charter, granted by the Legisla
ture of Rhode-Teland, is uncommonly hiberal, and en.
titles them to extraordinary advantages. When the
situation of these Mines, J:e immense quantity and
valuable quality of the Coal and Minerals, the facili.
ty of operation and transportation, are considered, it
I 8 not extravagant to assert, that a concern in them
offers a speculation as secure and as profitable as a
ny in the United States. More particulsr information
will be aflorded by rveference to the subscriber, the
President of the .dguedneck Coal Cempany, who has
for sale shares in the stock of said Company.

I, TIE subscriber, having used different kinds of
Coal in the course of my life, in the business of black
smithing, and have used the Rhode-Jaland Coal eigh

and, in some kinds of work, mach better. And have
uscd. said Coal fortwo winters past in my dwelling.

T HERERY certify, that T have made use of the
@oal taken fiom the .dguedneck Mines, in the State of
Rhode-Iriand, in the publick rooms of the Tontine
Coffce-House, and, Xom the extraordinary heat it
procuces, and its extreme durability, and making no
smoke, consider it to be much panHblc to the im.
ported Coul in common use in this city.

Aw. Fork, April 13, 1819, d
HAVING %ent up a constant fire of Rhode-Jelan
Hguedneek Coal, upwards of three months, Ido no'
besitate to declane my npinion of its qualities and val
we. Tam fully convineed. that a fire of equal heat and
goodness can he supported with this Codl, with less
tronble and expense than it can with wood, and with
less expense than with imported Coal. [helicve a
chaldron of it will support « fire of the same heat,
longer than « chaldron of Ziverpoo/ Coal.

FROM my knowledge of Coal Mines, obtuined from
having the management of the most important Coal
Mines in Firginia, for 24 years, 1 am of opinion, from
a thorough examination of the Jlguedneck Coul Mines
that they contaih an immense body of excellent Coal,
shat can be procured with the greatest ease, and
promises vast profit to the owners.

THE CAUSE OF RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.
' ——— o h
OUR City has been ll,uly interested by
the meeting of the Associution of the Bap«
sis~"l'be number of strangers who Bocked
hither, the respectability of the secty tha
simplicity of their principles, and the etw
thusiasm with which theiv ministers p:opas
pate their tenets, guve acertuin ec/as to their
exertions and « new aie to the oceupations of
the City. The Association met on Friday
night, the 12th, and disselved on Monduyr
night 9 o’clock. - About 800 men are est«
mated to have been present=the ordained
and licened: Preuchers between 80 and ‘4O, of
whom 6 or 7 cume from the other Associas
tion distriets, » D
There were no proceedings of a gcmm
nature conducted under the uuspices of 't
meeting. OQn Sunday torencon the Preaolksi
ing wus carried on ut the Cupitol, whithes
flowed a tide of population, which the Hulf
ol the House of Delegutes could not contain
—ahd at the Baptist and Methodist Meetings'
Housesa=by difterent Ministers, who inters
chunged in the alterncon, A singular des
gree of harmony is suid to have prevailed aw
mongst all the lovers of piety, Baptists und
Methedists. It wus pleasing 1o see this sptcs!
tucle o coucord amony them. * The Methoy
dists, (says a distinguished Baptist) acted on
this occasion a liberal and iviendly pare, inov
only with furnishing their Mettipg-house
from first to last, but in attending to the
meetings at-the different places, and-h»}dn
ing with apparent cordiulity in the religious
exercises==lor which the Associatien express
sed their thapks. N (O
This Association is called the Dover Ase
sociation=—tlere ure in this district 87 € huw
ches and 9,638 members, as may be mha )
reterence to Semple’s « History of the Vies
ginia Baptists,” p 90, 91—a work lately pubs
lished, and containing a mine of Baptistical
information, couched in the clearestand simy
plest style. ' | 0, N
The government of the Baptist Church is
extrewely sitnple and equal. Thercare 18
whole Associations in the Mbn? g .
others which extend into other ' States, eacl
one hus a constitution independent of the
rest. The government both of the Associaé
tion, the Churches, and, indeed of the whole
vociety in Virginia aud throughout the world,
is enanently Republican 5 for the decisions
are alwuys made by the mujority. They are
all in a perfect equality, except s 0 far us
they may be distinguished by their talents;
their enthusiasm, and their services. There
are no digoitaries among their Ministers,
The purpose of the Association is to. ada
vise the churches in all intricate cases of dise
cipline ; to preserve a uniformity of sentie
ments and principles ; to cultivate an ncquuine
btance between the churches and their meme
crs ; and to supply vacant churches by the
appointment of reighbouring Pastors to ate
tend them at certain perviods. According to
the Dover Constitution each church cun send
3 Delagates, and may send less. They are
generally selected by the votes of the mem
bers of the church, and reccive no pecuniary
compensation for their services.
Besides these Associations, there is a more
general convention, or gencral mecting of
correspondence, which has been on foor ler
4 few years, and intended to knit the several
Associations together. It has not, howevers
yet received the sanction of all these bodies
in Virginia.
The whole number of Boptists in this state
is computed by Mr. Semple ut 31,052,
There was a period In this State, when the
Baptists and other Dissenters were persecu
ted, and a particular church was favoured
and established by law. But the Revolution
of America overthrew the despotism of the
church as well as that of the state—-as our
government is independent of Great Britain,
so religlon is independent of our government
Universal toleration is established by our
constitution and laws, as well as by the feel
ings of the people. We have arrived at that
happy summit, which had been viewed by
the sages of Europe as a theoretical elysium,
rather to be desired than enjoyed ; where
every man is free to follow the dictates of
his own conscicnce. We have solved the
problem, which had been so long agitated
in the world—we have shewn how much hap
piness and harmony spring from religious
toleration. 'When will the Irish Catholick or
the FEnglish Disgenter be übie to realize
beatifick viswons !
Even since the American Revolution, &
partial attempt has been made to fetter the
conscience by legal restrictions. A bill for
a general asscssment was referred to the
people by one session of the General Assem
bly ; but the Baptists came forward en masse
—the voice of the people was against it—
and the monster exrired. The next General
Assembly rejected it—and in place of it pas
sed the celebrated “ Act for establishing re
ligious Freedom ;" drawn up by the lumin
sus and immortal pen of Thomas Jefferson.
It was on this occasion, that the following
memorial from the pen of James Madison,
the present President of the Upited States
wis presented—a paper, whose compassion,
is 100 elezant and who=e meriis are ton gplens
