Great objection. have been made to the clauses of this
Creed, which denounce damnation against those who do
nut believe the Catholic faith "es their sta4.l, and it
certainly is to & lamented that assertions of so pet eitiptto y

used in any human composition." P. 219, vol. 2, of Ele-

would have acted more etisely, and more cmoislcnity with its
general principles of mildness and toleration. it it had not
adopted the dammitory clauses of the .dt/mna.ion Creed.
Though I firmly believe that the doctrines of the Creed

" My Rev. Brother (Mr. Radford) says, the Catholic•

is a creed, that of St. Athanastits, an w hurls it is affirmed,

We cannot think th-t it Was wise and praisewoi thy to

The information received yesterday morning from
Batavia is of a very alarming nature. By letters
from that Island, dated January :14, it appears that
nearly the whole of the Dutch troops had been
drafted from thence to PalaniLing, in or:!er t()
strengthen that military position; consequently the
inhabitants of Batavia arc much shinned, as net
more than 600 European troops were left to defeski
the place against the Malays, who arc able to tau...
ter a force of near 100,000 men ; if the attack
should be made, a general massacre is expected.
