The new Religious Society, called CAristo Sa-
crum, is rapAly gaining ground in Holland. Their
objea is to unite all the religious Seas. The place
of meeting is at Delft, where Catholics, Calvinists,
Lutherans, Menonites, and persons of all Seas in
Religion assemble. The Society admits no domi-
neering, nor exclusive system. It has not Priests,
hut only two Speakers, who, in pronouncing their
discourses, stand up before the altar. Their wor-
ship is, divided into the worship of adoration, and
the worship of intruaion. The first consists in dig_
playing the grandeur of the Deity, fro;n the adrni_
rable order that reigns in his works ; the second, in
expounding various parts of revealed Religion. The
Clergy of Holland are exerting themselves in oppo-
sition to this Sect, but in vain, as they have the au-
thoi ity of Government for disembling.

The United States of America have opened a

houses of Smith, Hope, and Wenlisch, at 'an annual
interest of Si per cent. This money will serve to
pay the first instalment to France, for the cessiors

Set thy pee againit Mount-Seir.—An honest far.
mer, who reads the Bible every,Sunday (according
to *the custom of better times), came lately to his
Rea or, and asked him, " whether this war would go
with the French ?" The Dolor said, if it
pleased God, he hoped it would. " Nay," said the
farmer, " I'm 5.t: re it will then; for thus he declares
by his Prophet Ezekiel, chap. xxxv. ver. t. ' Son
of min, set thy face against Mount.Seir.' Now my
wife, who is a better Scholar than I am, says this
can be nothing hut Monsltur, the Frenchman.--And
in almost the next verse it is stronger than that, for
there,. Donor, the Prophet adds, ' 0, Mount.Seir,
I will wake dice desolate."

The folloWing curious occurrence will amuse, and
• its authenticity maybe relied on —A Bank of Eng.
land Note, value '2Ol. The property of the Captain
of a small sloop, lying•at Liverpool, loaden with
' coals, bound for Cardigan, in South Wales, was lost,
and he took much pains to have it advertised be-
fore he sailed on his • voyage, but without success.
The vessel arrived at the place of destination, and
the cargo Of coals wit discharged, when lo! in the
bottom of the vessel,- and under all the coals, was
found, in about zo pieces, the identical bank note ;
forming, together with a number of other bits of
paper, a manse's nest. They were.carefully
ed together, fixed on a piece of paper,• with gum.
water, and diSpatched to London for payment. The
name of AB,RAHAM NitVLAND, the date, ti;e sum,
the signature, and the name of the entering clerk,
• could be made out with tolerab!•-_. corredness.

Tuesday morning a tire broke out at Mr. Solo_
mon's, jun. in Vinegar-yard, -Drury-lane, which
was occasioned by some linen taking fire, which
was drying in the kitchen. By the exertions of
Mr. Solomon it was got under withou: 'doing any
Material damage.
