This work which isnow offered to the pa
tronagc of the public, (see adverasemenf) is
in the most easing and satisfactory form that
could be desired, and is admirably calculated
to give to young minds a clear conception Of
the scriptures, and to impress upon them suit
able religious ideas. 1t is not adapted to any
particular mode of worship, but calculated to
promote the knowledge Of the Gospel general
ly. We recommend it to the attention of the
citizens, feeling no hesitation in doing 50 after
careful perusal, and after the sanction it has
received from the pious and learned clergy Of
every denomination, at Baltimore, and else
where.

The Asturias, in which the patriotic fame
has burst forth, consist Of two provinces, nam
ed after their respective capitals, Austria D.
Oyiedo, and Austuria de Santillana. They
are about 100 miles in length, and from 20 to
A. in breadth, They are bounded on the north
by the ocean, on the west by Gallicia, on the
south by Old CASTLE and Leon, and on the
east by giscay. These provinces have always
been distinguishedfor their independence, and
their natural strength is great. Surrounded
by mountains, they served as refuge to the
.Spaniards against the Moors. by whom the
Asturians never were subdued.

On Sunday arrived at Boston, the brig
Mercury, capt. Bradford, SO days from Ali

by this arrival are not so important or par
ticular as were to be expected. He bro'1
no papers from the latter place; but reports
verbally, that the French were still IN pos
session of Barcelona; thougha party OF a.
bout 1000, who were ordered from that CT
ty into the country, were met with by the
Spaniards, and entirely QUITO pieces; that
Dupont's army from Madrid, had been
wholly DESTROYED, with the loss OF 1000 Spa
niards; thai the French consul at Malaga
with tevcrsl French merchants, had been
lnassacred by the popu!ace that the
French were compelled to fly from every
part Of Spain: that the spirit of resistance
to French aggression was universal thro :
out the country and that but one sentiment
appeared to prevail among the inhabitants

MIR. Henry S. Keatinge having submitted to
my perusal theological work, entitled, THE

giving instant publication feel it as duty
which owe to the cause of truth, .and the
pure principles of the Christian religion, to
bear testimony, that in my opinion, it is judi
ciously and eminently calculated to dcssimi-
nate the historic facts, and essential doctrines
of the old and new testament wri,lngs-Tnat
Il demands the special attention of parents and
guardians, and is justly entitled to the sacred
regard of rising generation, who wish to
search the scriptures, which are able TO make
us wise unto salvation.
