Gossacks at the first Russian barrier
arc doubled, and travellers arc accom-
panied BY a military escort to the
undergo a vigorous eXa;ssi.inatjon. The
description in the passport is cssir'c.tlllX x
compared with the person bearing it,
(. and in doubtful cases the list of
}, suspected and prescribed individuals is
referred to, and special report made
ofall travellers proceeding, to Warsaw.
The high road from Poscn to this
city is strongly g,arded,. the little
town of Slupcc, mile beyond the
frontier, is the last statipn, QstAg hrus,
sian post, and this place is surrounded
by triple Gordon Of cavalry. All the

control, Large magazines Of pro-
visions and forage are collected from
the surrounding country, and not
Ywithstanding the good harvest, tha
export Of rye. ana. Oats is Prohibited.

o3 a. ARLINGTON, Jan. ..
NJ, Ny Dear Sir: I have much sat
. ls isstaactiSnI; 4; in receiving the declaration
Which You have forwarded to me from
SO numerous body Of, clergy upon a
subject which sincerely hope may no
longer be permitted; to. disturb the
peace of our church.
There are many questions in
theology. upon which Christians may
ditierwithout reproach to themselves
Or injury to others. Froln the Re
formation until the present time num-
bers of our clergy have subscribed
the same articles, have used the same
formularies, have 'ministered in the
same churches; whose sentiments, if
they had been obliged to state them
WIN !Ocai precision, would have been
found to vary, more or less, from each
other, both with regard to regeneration
and tothe effect Of infant baptism. But
this difference has not prevented their
harmonious cooperation, or impaired
their luIsSefulness;' and !, should have
been seriously grieved if the period of
my arch-episcopacy had been chosen
as the period when freedom ofopinion,
within the reasonable limits hitherto
dceliied allowable, vas, Cor the
first time, denied to our clergy in
= case where it is not denied them by
the word Of God, or the declared
doctrine of the Church of England.
l,rcmain, my dear sir,
Very faithfully yoits,
