Are the communicants at College faed members
of the Academic Church, as it is called?
Some think the relation of Baftor inapplicable
to an Academy —especially an Academy in the
circumstances of that at New-HaVen. They do
not fee the propriety of fubje&ing the President
to the inspection and ruleof the College Pastor---
lefsflill to the watch and jurisdiction of the mem
bersof theChurch,who are allin their,?//^. If, as
a ProfeiTor of Christianity, the President's relati
on to College is out of thequeftion, still the gentle
man, who as Pallor is his superior, as Profeffor
is his inferior. The Students, who as Church
members are his equals, as members of College
are his p&oi/f. Admit that the President, in his
relation to the Pador, is not exempt from the in
junction, obex them that have the rule over ?ou, and
ADMONISH you, and submit yourfe/ves-^ad
mit that the brethren of the Church are able Hfo
to admonifo one another, and consequently to ad
moniih him, as a brother; it must yet be a mat
ter of peculiar delicacy for the Pastor or brethren
to adtninifter Christian admonition to the Pre
sident. It might conduce to lessen the venera
tion due to his exalted Ration.

Mess. PRINTERS,
TObferve you have lately an extraordinary cor
respondent under the signature of Parnassus.
I will not fay whether he hath compassed sea
and landl or, whether he will make one prose
lyte ; or, what that proselyte would be, Ihculd
he make one f but, he calls out for warlike ftores,l
and makes public proclamation where his ffore-;
house is, and beats up for volunteers as though
he was to renew the siege of Gibraltar, and claims
all the room in your paper that can be spared
from public intelligence.
I beg leave to flip in a few words edge-ways;
a few is all that I hope for, with his eight or ten
epistles. In answer to his, if it was a law mat
ter, I would, as the lawyer's fay, demur it out
for uncertainty : but as we must take Poets and
Politicians as we find them, I will make use of
his phrase.
He seems to hold forth that the college dona
tions are a state interest, to be put to any use the
General Assembly shall think fit. Herein, I
think, he greatly miffed the truth ; as the firft
donations and the firft foundation was for a re
religious purpose, namely, to bring up young
men for the work of the ministry : This, I think,
is from his own shewing, very plain. The plan
of the College was firft projected, concluded up
on, donations received by, and put into 'the care
of ministers, inclusively, and by them so under
stood to this day: If any other learning is ac
quired without detriment to the firft defigri, it is
very well: but when any donation is made for,
'and applied to any religious use, if any other
man, or body of men join others with it, though
they' should be ten times as much, it cannot be
converted to other purposes without sacrilege.
Parnassus holds forth that the Corporation
now are, arid long hav,e been, aspiring to be in
dependent of the General Assembly. If Par
nassus tells us truth, they have been so, with re
fpcct to support by money, for near thirty years.
If he means they would not hold themselves ac
countable to the General Affembly,it is a mistake.
President Clap, in his day, acknowledged this, in
behalf of himfelf and the Corporation, in the
fulleft manner, before the General Assembly,
and in my hearing.
Farther, he seems to hold forth that it hath
long been expected that some men of the two
other learned profefllons should have been cho
sen into the Corporation. I cannot fay but it
might by some zvould he's and others that were
at variance with the Corporation about matters
of faith and doctrine : But if it was so, I never
heard of it before. There was some motion
about suggesting that it would be well so have
some gentlemen of the Council joined; but this
was reje&ed upon the solid ground of the impro
priety of making a part of the Affimbh, a part of
that body which was to be judged by them; and
that it would tend to establish error if the Cor
poration should consent. There hath been
Something like it in civil government, and much
connected: But this wou!d be still worse, as the
very delinquents would be judges. But why
Should lawyers and doctors be joined to give
their advices? Gentlemen of the law, indeed,
require much learning: But in order to follow
the practice of physic, a young gentleman might
get learning in a good Latin fchpol by the time
fish-KIL L, April 17.
By a gentlemen who was present when the
declaration of peace was read in New-York, we
are informed, that the vile mifereants of tories
were so exasperated that they trampled their
" io ^ gracious King's proclamation under their
feet, with the utmost scorn and contempt ; —
and, they handled those who attempted to huz
za upon the occasion with great roughness.
Finding themselves duped by a government on
whom they reposed the highest confidence, they
are become desperate even to madness—The
just reward oftheir demerits !----

The 17th of February, Lord Shelburne faidin

any dilappointment happen to what the preli

All the prisoners of war on board thoprifon

Late advices from New-York mention, that,
the prizes which have been carried in there with
in these three weeks past had not been condemn
ed, except those whose cargoes were of a perifte
able nature, which were fold, and the money a
rising from the sales was deposited in proper
hands, to be disposed of as future events may de
termin. 4
he wasfixteen with a few Latin phrafaandferfy
to fire off amongst old women to give himfelf
importance, and those he might borrow of Par
naffiis, would serve the purpofe, then as well
«ib now, which seems to aim at doing execution
with found instead of sense, with the ofteritation
instead of the reality of knowledge.
