When our minds are in equilibrium, un.
disturbed by passion, by sef-will, by obsti-

nal heavens or, if reflected, they are broken
aud distorted, and he can SEQ nothing
clearly. Freeman Clarke.

matter as a question between bitterly Op.

and the crushing down Of every principle of
liberty -aud therefore long to see the power
Of the Turks broken to pieces. War by US,
on behalf of the Turk, cannot hope be VEN

at the Mansion House was a boastlu provo

who could speak in such fashion is not fit

whole question can be reasonably settled
without going to war, by such an arrange

such Of our patrons short term OF credit when we
have considered their reliability unquestionAble.,
Our creduity however, has often been imposed upon
and a consequence have suffered and this, too,
from parties who equally reliable at the date
discovered their unreability at the date of pur
