The following high authority, Dr. Chalmers thirty
nine years ago. thus expresses himself upon the subject
when England threatened by Bonaparte and an in
vasion expected
Let us call forth, necessary, all the energy dis.
possible population. Let Withdraw them from the idle
employment OF providing with luxuries. Trade may
perish, but IT is the whlsling OF name 1t is bugbear
framed by mercantile policy, and coniued up msead
The sye oil the country from its Let
pend our luxures let approve selves of
trios; let us be an armed country and from end
the island to the other let nothing be ar but the
oil preparation. This Is the time to hesitate about
trltles Accommodate the distribution your people

for swear by The ambition OF Bonaparte, that he will be
soon among at the head of his narauder ii he knows
that instead OF meeting the population of the island in
like and defensive array he will find them laboring in
their workshops, writing in their counting houses, balan
cling their edgers and persevering in the good old way
their forefathers''
This is the language of man distinguished for his
learning his Christian virtues, his ardent and lofty pa
trotism his phlanthrophy, and fact for every other
quality that constitutes the great and good.
Now let me ash, in candor-and put the question 10

late hour to publish it in to- nights Union. We are
narrowed down, for epresent, to the following extract
relating to the armstice:
"On the 2ist as the army was in motion towards the

and wounded. This he refused; but in the evening
agreed armistce to enable commissioners to meet
Mr. Tst and TO treat for peace This armistce has been

advantage to make peace. So far can trust him.
But we will give the whole letter on Monday.
