CORNUCOPIA.

In case the British should repeal
that series of restrictive anti-neu,ral
regulations, which are known by the
name of Orders In Council, IL is still to
be doubted whether they will relin-
quish the practice of paper blockades.
The latter are quite as grievoUs to
neu,rals as the former; and, in truth,
the distinction between them is scarce
ly nominal, for paper blockade is an
order in council. The mode of act
ing in each case is the same: the king
of England, after advising with his
Privy counsellors and obtaining their
consent, proclaims that such port or
coast of the enemy is in state of
blockade, or that neutral vessel, be-
fore going to the enemy's country,
shall call at a British port and pay
tax; and this is what is called an Or
der In council.
If there is naval force stationed
before place thus blockaded, then the
order in council of blockade is lawful,
for in that case it is DANCE Gus for neu-
must be stationary, ard it must be
strong enough TO block up the passage
to the port, or it will be unlawful.
Should the block ading squadron go %
way from before the port at any time,
~ not occupy = position in tho imme-
diate vicinity Off, the blockade would
cease for the whole time the squadron
was absent. The mere Issuing Of an
order of blockade, or a proclamation
by an admiral or commodore that i,
exists, is not legal notification of ii
to neuirals but the neutral vessel
must he actually warned OF the block
AIDE by one OF the blockading squadron,
before she can be liable TO capture. II,
after such actual warning, the ueu;i al
vessel attempts to enter The port, then
she is subject TO capture end condem
nation. And this is the law Of block
AIDES.
This law grows out Of The very ua =
ture OF neutrality, which PRESERVES an

THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST.

From the Lectures of Perlcus, late Bishop Of
Now wien the centurion, and they
that were with hina watching Jesus,
saw the earthquake, and those thing,
that W re done +; they feared greatly say
ing, " Truly this man was the son of
God"
The centurion here mentioned, was
the Roman captain, who, with guard
OF soldiers, was ordered to attend the
crucihxion of Jesus, and see the sen
tence executed. He placed himself, as
st. Mark informs us, over against Te-
sus. From that station he kept his
eye constantly fixed upon him, and OBJ
served with attention every thing he
said or did. Add when he saw the
meekness, the patience, the resignati-
on, the frmness, with which our Lord
endured the most circulating tor
mcnts; when he heard him at one time
iervently praying for his murderers, *
at another disposing with dignity & au-
lhority of place in paridise to one of
Ills fellow sufferers and at length, with
ihat confidence, which nothing but con-
scious virtue and conscious dignity
could at suLh time inspire, recon-
mendIng his spirit into the hands Of
MS heavenly Father, he could not bnt
conclude him TO be a mos extraordi-
nary person and something more than
human. But when moreover, he OBJ
served TIE astonishing events that took
place when Jesus expired the agl,a-
ton into which the whole frame of ma
ture seemed TO be thrown the super
natural darkness, the earthquake, the
rendingof rocks, the opening of graves /;
he then bursts out Involuntary into
that striking exclamation, {" Fruly this
nan was the Son of God.1
Here then, we have testimony TO
The divine character Of our Lord,
which must be considered as in the
highest degree impartial and incor-
rupt; the honest unsolicited testimo-
ny OF plain man, a soldier, and a
heather ; the testimony not of one
