A Rev. Mr. Davie, ID South Carolina. is finite sure (haying
found oat the grand clue) that the Milessimn is to commence
in 1811'. Most of the modern prophets have placed the date
of the above sbra an remote, that they, as well as their pro-
phecy, will he likely to be forgotten long before the time
apectfied ; lust this favoured Seer ,:entstres to predict,t hat the
new order of thou:, trill take place in tv.ll years alter this
time! " My reader (says he) is not to accuse vile of arro-
ganee. Let hint think of Columbus's egg. Although twee
of the gentlemen around 11w tatsle could make it stand on its
