The above Essay is from the pen OF C.
vILLERS, and the work which obtained the
prize on the question "What has been the in
huence of the Reformation by Luther, on the
political situation of the different states OF Eu-
rope, and on the progress of knowledge" pro
posed by the National Institute Of France, in
the public sitting OF the 18th Germlnal, in the
year X. This fact supercedes any other recon
mendatious, which might be furnished from
several of The first d%ivines, statesmen. and Ii
terary characters. The notes which are to &C
company the Essay, will be highly interesting
to the American reader particularly, and the
biography of that able champion of truth and
the rights of man, to be compiled from the
most authentic historians, will be found IN
stPuctike. d.

In reference TO Mr.. Benton's plan for

".No matter how procured."-I will first state 10
you the manner in which that frigh,fu certificate

daring character consists only in its truth, and its
ireet tendency to expose, in part, the malignant
yillanyn which has been extensively practised on
the credulity OF many oil the good citizens OF Geor-
ea and other states in reference to the Indians and
ne treaty. The facts contained in the certificate n
