of your majesty, he would be responsible for
it. ia French ship were seized in the port
of Trieste or Lisbon, the government OF Por-

LONGS, would have to consider that violence
and damage done to your majesty's subjects
as personal outrage ; they could not hesitate
to compel England by force to respect their
territory and their ports-if they adopt con.
trary conduct, if they become accomphces OF
the wrong done by England to your subjects,
they would place themselves in state OF war
with your majesty.

THE Editor begs leave to offer this Work
to the attention and patronage of the Mcfho-
dist Socieay in particular, not only because it
is thought propcrto give it a decided charac-
ter, but because the Coanexien at present
have no religious vehicle of the kind. nor
have they had since the discontinuance Of
their Magazine, which was published some
years ago.
Both the Presbyterians and Episcopalians
have under their patronage monthly publlca.
tons devoted to the same subjects proposed
to be embraced by this work.
The Editor, however iatlers himself that
this publication will possess some advantages
over those that are only issued monthly, in
furnishing earlier religious intelligence, and
he hopes il will afford greater satisfaction to
Readers in general. as in such works the
same subjects and accounts are continued IN
a series of numbers.
But SINGS this work is to be devoted to the
interest of religion, both in its doctrine and
experience, and will likewise include the SUBJ
ject of morality, we thiTk it entitled to the
greater attention; and we wish 1t to be dis
tinctly understood, that Is 1t has for its cl1-
iect the diffusion of religious information, the
