TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.

MR. EDITOR,—It was not my intention toliavt
troubled you a-second time. on the subject of Mr..
BELLAMY'S " new Translation of the Bible."—
yorrr Correspondent STACItHOUSB, its your
Paper of the 2d inst., regtires a few words, which
will be my last on a subject that .Will doubtless be
'treated in due time; by far abler writers, with the
attention its importance demands. I winSltl first
observe <before I come to it-maffer of mote con-
sequence) that " STACKHOUSE'S" first observa-
tion relative to the " Review," proves nothing
either for or'against its merits. He simply asserts
the Reviewer's own persuasion that he under-
stands Hebrew better than Mr. BELLAMY, who
has devoted " thirty years" to • the study of that
language. Till he can prove that the Reviewer
understands less than Mr. BELLAMY, STACK-
riotne's " assumption" is at least equal in bold-
ness to that which he condemns.-, By, what
" measure" should a Reviewer- " censure" Or
to-aise,l7 but by that " of his own knowledge ?"
incompetency
will he be unequal to the task, his
will not long remain undiscovered. But, "4 ex
quovis ligno non fit Mercurius." The applica-
tion is easy. To come, however, to the main
point, as I am not going to " take up the cinlgel,"
in behalf of a Review, abundantly competent to
defend itself.—'' STACKHOUSB," it seems, ." fol-
lowed me in opinion," till I dropped the " Phi-
losopher," and commenced " Fuithster :" and
when I " opposed the curl ection of Scriptural
expressions," my letter " dropped from his"
hand !" Here, Sir, I beg to observe two things—
First. In those points of Religion which ate ne-
cessarily points purely of Faith, the reasonings of
Philosophy will be wholly misapplied. The light
of Human reason will indeed serve to guide us in
human of if it venture on subjects so
infinitely abOve human apprehension, if it should
presume to examine into the mysteries of Divine
Wisdom, where then will be the PhilosopherT As
the bodily eye shrinks from the brightness of the
Meridian Sun, equally unable is the eye of reason
to-dwell upon the brightness of the AUTHOR of
that Sun. " Canst thou by searching find out
God ? Canst thou find out the Almighty to per-
fection ?" Philosophy-, Sir, has made men Atheists,
it never has made them Christians. And from
such Pseudo- Philosophers, as would measure infi-
nite wisdom with finite capacities, I have only to
say ". Good Lord deliver us 1" Secondly; I never
intended to " oppose the correction of Scriptural
expressions" in told. 1 will readily admit with
STACKHOUSE that many parts of the Bible (un-
derstanding thereby the Old Testaineut) may be
susceptible of improvement. I should railer say,
that there are parts which I think had better have
been omitted. But Ido most assuredly deprecate
the attempt to shake popular belief in its. Divine
Truths. However much of a " Faithster" it:
may please STACKHOUSE to consider me, .1 am no
Bigot ; hut I am deeply sensible of the danger of
similar attempts ; more especially where there is
reason to doubt the validity, much more the supe-
riority, of the alterations. •
To instance this in one case only. The typical
offering by ABRAHAM of his son ISAAC.
Mr. BELLAMY denies that any such sacrifice was
commanded ABRAHAM—that he was merely coin-
triatided " to Laic. bis ISAAC," ant'.' cause
trim to ascend there " (i. e. Mount:74o6Am)
" concerning time offeritos"-7-So Mr. • BELLAMY
(not very clearly) translates it.—Now, Sir, after
.denying that such a sacrifice was commanded (no
one ever pretended that it was intended), Mr.
BELLAMY yet allows that it was the Divine pur-
pose to try and prove ABRAHAM (whiciva mere
command to go and offer a sacrifice, was-not quite
sofficient to have done), and the ALMIGHTY is
still represented by him as approving, and pro-
mising time blessing to Anaatiass, because he had
not WITHHET.O his only Son," &c.--With the
verbal Criticism I have nothing to do, thouch it
may he observed that Mr. B. rejects the common
Version -in one instance, where it does not. suit
his ideas, to adopt, almost immediately alter, its
interpretation of the self-same word. If, Sir, Mr.
BELLAMY understands the Offering of ABRAHAM
aright, I can only say ST. PAUL 1111tICI$I0011 it
wrong—Our Savrou R himself understood it wrong ;
and Mr. B. must prove that, (setting inspiration
aside) the former was ignorant of Hebrew also, as
well as our Old Translators—and STacititousa,
that the New Testament is as little to be relied on
as the Old.

One word more as to myself—STAcxxousz
misquotes me in making me deny that any
part of the Bible is " absurd," and continues in
a strain which certainly would induce me to be-
lieve that kis Faith extends very little farther than
his comprehension. The word " absurd," I never
used. I said, "no part of the Bible necessary to
our faith was ' obscure,' save as. regards Myste-
ries, which must ever be obscure to human ap-
prebension."—And this, Sir, I boldly repeat ;
parts of minor importance. are undo►►btetlly ob-
scure; and if Mr. BELLAMY, or any otherJrans-
lator or Commentator can elucidate them, far be,
it front me to wish his labours. fruitless. I would
have the National Translation of this Sacred
Volume perfect as human capacity can render it.
But I would have no Work of this nature given
to the Public, till it have received the sanction of
those best qu►alifted to judge of its merits .as an
". improved Translation."---I would have no► at-
tempt made which may mislead the ignorant On
points of finch vital importance, sanctioned as our
received interpretation of Holy Writ has been,
in all its important parts, by the wisest and most
enlightened men, who have studied its pages with
delight, and dwelt with rapture on the sublimity
of a style, which Mr. /384LAMY will nut easily
equal. Still more do I deprecate the arguments of
Philosophers, who would hold their " fartbing
candles to the sun," or would encourage others to
withhold their belief from Scriptural Truths,
merely because they surpass the reach of their own
limited understandings. I am in no tear of my
own " as. STACKHOUSB would suggest,
being staggered by Mr. Bst.t.arav's labours, it he
can improve the Volume upon which I build it—

" COLOGNE, Nov. 24.—During his stay at
Aix-la-Chapelle, the Emperor of Austria. received
a great number of Petitions from all the neigh-
bouring towns, and .from different parts of Ger-
many. His Imperial Majesty received some also
from. Belgium.
" MANHEIM, Nov.. 27.—Private letters state,
that after the departure of the Sovereigns from
several sulij,.eti of great im-
portance still remained to be diieussedin the Mi-
nisterial Conferences.

CARLSRUHE, Nov. 29.—The Emperor of
Russia quitted Rastadt yesterday, after Passing
some hours, with the Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Baden: His Imperial Majesty arrived
at Stattgard last night.
" LAusANwm, Nov. 27.—The proposals of the
Court of Rio Janeiro, fur planting Swiss Colonies
in the Brazils, who are to receive a number of
advantages, have been circulated throughout
Switzerland.

HasTADr, Nov. 29.—The Grand Duke Mi-
chael quitted Carisruhe yesterday evening to pro-
ceed to Stuttgart!.
The Empress Dowager of Russia was ex-
pected yesterday at Cassel.

" STUTTGARD, NOV, 29.—M. de Scholl, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of Engineers, in the service of
Austria, has been for some days at Ulm ; he is
ammissioned to direct the construction of the
works of that fortress."

Our Paris Corre7ponuent has' again •attacked
the Ultras in his letter of this day, but with a
want of his usual sagacity, for if there are sixty-
fire thousand ?fables on their side, they mimic be
an insigncant Party, however they may be out-
,
numbered by the Revolutionists, who, we fear, will
soon trample them under foot, and bring the
Country to ruin.

A Supplement to The London Gazelle of &Ina-
day was published last night. It contains Dis-
patcl►es from India of rather old dates, the first
being so far back as the 14th of January, and
the latest being dated the 29th of April. They
only go to authenticate the narratives which we
have long since given of the Pindaree war, and
the fall of Mundlah.—lts principal contents will
be. found in our last page.

We refer our Readers to a brief account of
what passed yesterday evening at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, where a meeting of the Demo-
ciatlcal Ruffians who support Mr. Hosirouss
took place. The Gentleman from whom we re-
ceived this account, and on whose veracity we de-
pend, was attracted by curiosity and a sincere de-
sire of bearing what could be said by these per-
sons in support of their• cause, and bt assures us,
