that he saw :him in the field cutting the turf, and rn
his departure gave hina his horse, and was informed
that he had made such a deed in favoiir of his rela.
rions there, &c.

All these-witnesses agreeing as to the hour .of the
day, and why they knew
' it was that day--the dress
—the words--the very net ions ofMr. Adams.' And
to rivet still stronger on the mind the credit of all
'this mass of evidence, a seventh Vitiiess in writing,
signed, deposed, that she had often heard Mr.
Adams say he intended to make, such deed, and in
September t 797, heard him say that he had' made
such deed, :conneeted with a number of circum.
stances which gave the relation all the,appearance of
truth. Against or either of wham no charge
criminal or immoral. can be brought to undervalue
their evidenee.:, lhese Witnesses not only . gave
their evidence in' writing to be copied on the Brief,-
but passe(l.many 'examinations before-the trial ,
some trifling particulars they differed, but as to the
day, the hour; the manner olexecution, the former
six' were most positively exatl,' giving each a se.
parate reason for such certainty as to the day, &c.
But Providence seemed 'determined to baffle their
plan, and develope • this, systemised perjury. The
Plaintiff'? Agent had inquired at the Stamp-Office if-
the Stamp upon the Deed was the proper one for the,.
9th of August, 1797, and had been informed it was
of the proper value. Yet, at the trial,,after the Plain.,
tiff.party had .made
,out its case, formed on this
false foundation, the Defendant ;pvlduceil a Witness.
with a book from the Stamp-Ofiice, whieh prov'ed
that the die of the Stamp on the Deed entered the
Office on the 1611 t of August, and not before, though
by the ASR of Parliament ordered to take place, from
the Ist of August ; of course no such Stamp could
have been issued from the Stamp. Office until' the
thth Of August, which at once satisfied the Cotirt
and Jury that a Deed with that Stany, said to love,
been executed on the 9th, must he a forgery, or,
the witnesses swearing that the 9th of 'August was
the day of its execation, must be guilty of perjury.
A verdict was acccl-dingly given in favour of the
Defendant.

The following is part of a very sensible and truly
patriotic AdOresi from the-Presbytery of.Ghiszow.

'' The state Of,the.CMintry is confessedly alarm-
ing. An ;Olive, powerful, and enterprising Enemy,
who spOrtS with the property, the liberty, and the
livei of torn, has daringly avowed his determination
of invddilig and desolatingbur land. For this pur-,
pose prepriitions of the most formidable nature are.
alually cltrying on in every port •and creek of the
Continent, where h .
is arbitrary domination and in
fluenceextend. These have given- rise to counter-
preparations of unexampled magnitude throughout
thislmp'erial Kingdom. The contest is for all that
is dear to us as Blitons. Union of heart and mind
amongst all.ranks of 'the Community is quite indis.
penSitile—public spirit is in this perilotis moment.
the chief cardinal virtue:

" At such a, crisis, true patriotism will outrun
the commands of Government, and will prompt
individuals, as well as colledive bodies, instead of
cat Ching at immunities, to volunteer such services
as are suited to their station and abilities. The
Presbytery therefore apprehend, that as the wisdom
of'GOvernment.has exempted Ministers from the
toils of war, and from the unavoidable expcnce
and inconvenience of leaving their families and oc-
cupations,, or of finding substitutes, justice and
patriotism demand from Ministers something equi-
valent and congenial to their protession.
‘‘ The benefiCenee Of Government has sufficiently
pros,,Lied for the support "of, the famifies. of those
who arc employed in defending the Nation ; but
there may be children in theie families whose edu-
cation is in danger of being tlegleded during the
absence of the fatheri guard against this
appears to the Presbytery a matter of very great
importance, both in a civil and religious view.
They thitAc it peculiarly becoming the Ministers of
the Gospel to COmc forward at thtscritical jundure,
and say to those Who are fighting for their King
and Countryi " The deafest interests of your chit....
dren shall not be negleded."
