" That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament contain
the revealed will of God.

" That, as such, and in consequence; the Scriptures, and
the Scriptures only, should be the rule of their faith and practice.

to the

ordained..' . . -

".That God bath separated to himself a people on. earth,
4 which is the Church of the living God,. the pillar and ground
of the truth.'.

" That the Members of this Church are required to look-te.
Jesus as the guide and complete pattern of their faith, who, for
the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the

obey God rather than man.

EUROPE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE

AMERICAN WAR.

(From the Life of Napoleon Buonaparic. By the Author of

Waverley. )

The printing of the sixth volume of this work is finish-
ed, and it has been found that the whole cannot be com-
prised in the-seven volumes repeatedly announced as nearly
ready for publication. It will extend to eight at least;
and it may cost the author some pains. (if, indeed, .it be
practicable), to wind up his story even in that number.
Napoleon cannot be disposed of--like Waverley or Ivanhoe
---by. two or three deaths, or marriages. The same causes
make. the period of publication uncertain: in the:absence
of certain information, ;we only venture to state that the
work cannot be completed for some months to come; and
curiosity, therefore, must be suspended, unless, in the in-
terim, We are. favoured with the " Chronicles of the Ca-
nongate."—Scots
The following paragraphs occur almost at the commence-
ment of the work

F' The peace concluded at Versailles in 1763, was reasonably-
supposed to augur a long repose to Europe. The high and emul-
ous tone assumed in former times' by the rival nations, had been
lowered and tamed by recent circumstances. England, under
the guidance of a weak, at least a most unlucky administration,
had purchased peace' at the expellee of her North American em-
pire, and the resignation of supremacy over her colonies ; a loss
great in itself, but exaggerated in the eye of the nation, by the
rending asunder of the ties of common descent, and exclusive
commercial intercourse, and by a sense of protection and ad-
vancement of the fair empire which England found herself ob-
liged to surrender. The lustre of the British arms, so bril-
liant at the peace of Fountainbleau, had been tarnished, if
not extinguished. In spite of the gallant defence of Gibraltar,
the general result Of the war on land had been . unfavour-
able to her military reputation ; and notwithstanding the
opportune and splendid victories of Rodney, the coasts of
Britain had been insulted, and. her , fleets compelled to retire into
port, while thOse of the combined enemies rode masters of the
Channel. The spirit of the country also had been lowered, by
the unequal contest which had been sustained, and by the sense
that her naval superiority was an object of invidious hatred to
united Europe. This had been lately made manifest by the armed
alliance of the northern nations, which though termed a neutrality
was in fact a league, made to abate the pretensions of England to
maritime supremacy. There are to be added to disheartening and
depressing circumstances, the decay of commerce during the long
course of hostilities, with the want of credit and depression of the
price of land, which are the usual consequences: of a transition
from war to peace, ere capital has regained its natural channel.
All these things being considered, it appeared the manifest interest
of England to husband her exhausted resources, and- recruit her
diminished wealth, by cultivating peace and tranquillity for a
long course of time.' William Pitt, never more distinguished
than in his financial operations, was engaged in new modelling the
revenue of the country, and adding to the return of the taxes,
while he diminished their pressure. It could scarcely be supposed
that any object of national ambition would have been permitted to
disturb him in a task so necessary.

" Neither had France, the natural rival of England, come off from
the contest in such circumstances of triumph and advantage as
were likely to encourage her to a speedy renewal of the struggle.
It is true, she had seen and contributed to the hnmiliation of her
ancient enemy, but she had paid dearly for the gratification of her
revenge, as nations and individuals are wont to do. Iler finances
tampered with by successive sets of Ministers, who looked no far-
ther than to temporary expedients for carrying on the necessary
expenees of Government, now presented an alarming prospect ;
and it seemed as if the wildest and most enterprising Ministers
would hardly have dared, in their most sanguine moments, to
have reeommendvd either war itself, or any measure of which war
might be the consequence.

‘"
Spain was in like state of exhaustion. She had been hur-
ried into the alliance against England, partly by the consequences
of the family alliance betwixt her Bourbons and those of
France, but still more by the eager and engrossing desire to pos-
sess herself once more of Gibraltar. The Castilian pride, long
galled by beholding this important fortress in the hands of heretics
and foreigners, highly applauded the war, which gave a chance of
its recovery, and seconded, with all the power of the kingdom, the
gigantic efforts made for that purpose. All these immense pre-
parations, with the most formidable means of attack ever used
on such an occasion, had totally failed, and the kingdom of
Spain remained at once stunned and mortified by the failure, and
broken down by the expense .of so huge an undertaking. An
tended to exhaust the remains of
latetracinkiltiiriamrny Algiers,oru: in
repose, dispirited by- the miscarriage ()flier favourite scheme, and
Spain,l7B 4-tshterefore, relapsed into inactivity and
possessing neither the means ruor the audacity necessary to medi-
tate its speedy renewal.
" Neither were the sovereigns of the late belligerent powers of
that ambitious and active character which was likely to drag the
kingdoms which they swayed into the renewal of hoailities.—
The classic eye of the historian Gibbon, saw Arcadius and Hono-
rim, the weakest and most indolent of Roman Emperors, slum-
bering upon the thrones of the House of Bourbon ; and the just
and royal character of George 111. precluded any effort on his
part to undermine the peace which he signed unwillingly, or to
attempt the resumption of those rights which he had formerly,
though reluctantly, surrendered. His expression to the Ambas-
sador of the United States was a trait of character never to be
omitted or forgotten I have been the last man in my dominions
to accede to this peace, which separates America from my king-
doms—l will be the first man, now it is made, to resist any
attempt to infringe it.' "—Leeds Intelligencer.

WAGES.--At the general annual meeting of the
master hat-manufacturers of Lancashire and the adjoining coun-
ties held at the White Bear Inn, MancheSter, on Monday week, it
was unanimously resolved, "that the prices paid to' the workmen,
for every description of work connected with hat-snaking, 511001(1
continue the same as they have been for some years past, and that
no abatement should take place at present."—Stockport Adver-
tiser.
