THIS work was begun in London in

Appreciation and applause. No other
religious Magazine. it is confidently be-

and unexceptionable Information Oh
subjects of piety and religion, to every
class CT devout and intelligent believers
in Revelation. Its, perhaps, the only
publication OF the kind, which has en-
iiyc.y discarded the sectarian spirit, so
long at variance with that spirit of 'tri-

to constitute the Distinguishing mark OF
al. christian societies. A work OF this
nature appears to be emineniiy caicu.

READ AND PONDER F!

The following interefing ftatement
was made few days Gnce by the
Hon. Laban Wheaton, reprefenta-
tive in congrefs from Briltol diff
ui6t, to a convention of delegates
from all parts of that dillrid.
The convention being organized, a
PRAYER was made by the Rev. s. w.
Co.burn, well adapted 10 the occa-
fion.
After which, the Hon. Mr.. Whea
ton role and addreiied the Convention
on the pal and preient fate of the
Country. He then went largely into
the fubje6t, giving an hifforical &C
count of the turning and twiting
conduct of the late and prefent admin
ittrationS for the ten years pait, expo
fng their duplicity-thcir cunning,
and their glaring inoopfltencies. In
touching on the fubje6 of the d" Hen
" Pit" which was declared by Mr..
Madiion to Be one cauGe of war, MIR
Wheaton obIerved, I" That from the
manner in which the fu5iea was
communicated to Congrels, it feemed
to be the intention of the PRECEDENT
that the Members lhould believe that
ne knew nothing of the affair until
the Goth Of February, as on that day
Henry's ltatemenr was found in the
SeCretary's office that Congrtis,
luPpoGng it to be the cafe at the
moment, immediately ifsued a warrant
to apprehcnd the" Britii6 Spy" But,
alas 'the Britih Spy" was not 10 be
found-he had sailed for France ! |!
and it appeared that instead of Mr.
Madison's not knowing of the affair
until the 2sth of February, the bar
gain = the morufying-the difgrace-
full bargain was made by the govern
ment on the 10Th Of February-the
10000 dollars paid the very next day
(IIth)-a national vefsel had been.
ready for Henry at New York ana
that the PRECEDENT had Suspended his
communication until the 9th of
March-the very day that Henry
laughing in his 1eeves) sailed for
France" ]! But said Mr.. Wheaton,
whether it be justihablc or not for
Great Britain to send her secret
agents here, one thisg is certain that
all nations take thar liberty. England
does it-FranCe does it-and SO does
our own government" Mr.. Whea-
ton declared " that previous to the
declaration of war, government sent
an agent into Canada, FIR the pur-
pose of sounding the minds of the
Canadians to know If they were pre-
pared 10 recede from their allegiance
70 the crown of Great Britain-that
he knew the agent-saw him at
Washington after his return from
Canada. And here, (said Mr.. w. J
were at liberty, could tale unfold
which would awaken the feelings OF
every one present" But the iniunc-
ton OF secrecy prevails-my lips are
sealed"
