WOULD you juft!y deserve
the character of a minister
of our mpft holy religion, be not
fatisfied with any present attain
ments, nor prefome to feed your
people with Chaff, empty, extempore
effufions, or .bast,, incoherent, and
long-winded harangues, which would
flarve their fouls, or at least keep
them babes in knowledge' all their
days ; but if you desire that they
may grow in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord JESUS
CHRIST, so as to attain a clear
and comprehensive view of the
Christian system, and that your
profiting may appear to all men,
give thyfelf to reading, to medita
tion, and to prayer— To reading,
in order to furnifh your own mind
with that various knowledge, that
is necessary to enable the Christian
minister to discharge the duties of
his Ration with dignity and reputa
tion—To meditation, as the means
of possessing your mind with the
ideas you meet with in reading &
enlarging your views——And tq
prayer, as the way of deriving all
needed (applies from the Father of
^Lights and Mercies, from whom
cometh down every good and per,
fed gift——With regard to your
manner in fading, let it be delibe
rate, grave and solemn $ suitable to
the nature and importance of your
fubjed and the majesty of that Be'
ing in whose name and prifence
"you speak ; remote from affefla
lion, theatrical airs, and ludicrous
exprefons, which would tend to ex
cite di/guft or levity in the hearers.
If you would defirethat they should
believe and obey the truth, you
must preach it in such a manner as
will give them reason to think you
Relieve it yourjelf. Take heed not
only to your Doctrine, that it be
pure and uncorrupt ; but allo to
yourfelf, to ,out danger of life, that
it be uniform, plain, and axamplar,
—full of that Christian meekuefs, so
highly recommended in the Col
pel, that so you may give no just
occasion to any to charge you with
a contradiction between yaw preach
ing and practice ; but may the fac
to, and faaffeaednefs of your man
ners be a living comment on your
Dodrine, exhibiting before others,
in ydur daily example; the Christian
virtues you inculeateinyour preach
"ing. In your deportment towards
others, endeavour on all occasions,
to observe a due medium, between
wmunfociableftiffnefs which would
La them to think Religion incoa
§fifent with Benevolence, Sociability,
,nd Ffiendjbip; and that gross fa
gfe'/forty which would fubjeft you
to their contempt ; but in all
[ things endeavour to maintain that

PARIS, AUGUST 9.
JULIA CALYON.
A Woman of Bayeux, a friend
of Charlotte Corde, is eager
to follow her fooifteps, and to de
(erve the fame fate. The follow
ing letter from her, addfeffed to
the fertile citizen Tifo% at the
hotel of the pott of Amiens, dated
July 26, furnishes ample proof ot
her resolution.
" My dear Tifoo, the courage
ous Corde, whom you know, and
whose friendship honours me, has
just inflicted death on the ruffian
Marat.—This heroic action ele
vates my foul, and gives me cour
age. I shall set out this day co
join you ; we will go together to
Paris. My intention is to imitate
my worthy friend, by (tabbing the
villian Chabot, who invented, lam
told, a new punishment for that
modern Judith. As the men of
this age are so daftardly,a ffx which
has always been thought weak,
ought to arm,,nd tidthe land of
liberty, of banditti, and anarchists,
who desolate it. 'Waiting the
pleafureof feeing thee, I embrace
thee. (Signed)
"JULIA CALYON."
Portrait of DUMOURIER,
By M. DE Viettl,
A French officer, who fetved fever al
years with him.
IF the character of this man is
extraordinary, his person is not def
cicute of originality.
Genius fe&ns to animate his fea
tures, which on the whole, are nei
ther regular nor agreeable.
His bod, is small and diminitive.
His eye is lively, and full of fire,
his hair was brown, it is becom
ing grey.
When he speaks, his head and
his arms areagkated ; and he oft
en raises his body on the point of
his foot.
His gait precipitate and irregu
lar ;^he changes his physiognomy
at pteafure.
He has a faiall hand, and wants
a finger ; but this does not prevent
him from grasping at a large objeft.
When Iwas <«quainted with
him, he breakfafted the moment
he rose, and always-dined with a
good appetite. It was remarked,
however, that he teas very dainty
in choice of his viands.
After drinkmgfoffee, he gener
ally fell asleep muttering an epi
gram or a coupler.
On awakeing he loved to make
a party a.c'gißrac.
If he hadplenty of money, he
went constantly to the comedy.
When there, I always beheld him

WORCESTER, November 6.
On TmMday last, Samuel Frufi
was executed in this town, purfu
ant to his lenience, for the murder
of Capr. Elisha Alien, of Prince
con, on the i6th day of July Fast.
This man, just ten years before he
murdered Cap;. Alien, killed hi
father, for which horrid crime he
was tried, but acquitted by the ju
ry, who supposed him insane. Be
fore execution a fermori was preach
ed by the Rev. Aaron Bincroft,
co a very large audience. The
criminal was prefect. After which
he was carried to the place of exe
cution. He (hewed few or no
signs of penitence. On being ^
ed by the high fheriff if he wished
to fay any thing to the fpe&tors,
he answered that he had not much
to fay —'he -Would not have them
follow him. The high fheriff re
peatedly aiked him if he wilhed his
execution delayed ? He answered,
as often ^s asked, No!-,as he was
to go, (that was his expreffiop) it
had better be soon over. The
fc^ffold dropped, and this uncom
mon murderer was launched ioto
eternity.—lt is thought the num
ber of fpeaa;ors present was a

Acceptation, of the Co.iflitu

Goffuin—“ The Edifice of Lib
erty is 6mfhed : Eeded by the
Farids of the people, it will be lift
ing. A republican Constitution,
he fymbo! of virtue and happintft,
Succeeds a mooftrous Confti ution,
worthipped more than ever by arif
focracy, and most violently pro
;ected by the cannons of Kings.
Citizens, the deftruftive genius of
the Cabinet of St. James's has also
endeavoured to circulate its pojfon
in the Primary Assemblies. Some,
but luckily few in number, have
been infeAed iviih.it: Almost the
majority of their members : have
voted against the acceptance of the
Constitution. Men rewiped from
London, Madrid, Vienna, and Ber
lin, had the audacity to introduce
chemfelves, especially in the diftri<ft
of Lons le Saulnier, in the depart
ment of Jura, @nd in fame o^her
departments, pf which tbe,Adaun
iftrators have revolted.

.which fin be given? ©the ?whole

coofifting of only twenty inhabits
antt, was the only one that de
manded the Son of Capet for their
King, and the federation of the
Clergy. All the other Common
alities felt the utmost in^igpation ;
and that of Donan, with one Ives
Lotelier at their head, retired with
menaces, and digested separately
their minutes of prOGgediHgs, which
h^ve not reached yaur commiffiony
'f The single point; which ought,
to fix your attention, is to fix the
epoch when . the election of the
deputies of the new National As
sembly i&to take place. A few
Primary, Assemblies demand it with
as much acrimony as if they were
pot disposed to let you fflift the
Civic Feaftin yours character of
RepfHenfatives of the people.
“ Part of the primary assemblies
difcyffed and accepted the Confti-1
tution with calm refignation.l
