COUII- ;—has it ever been heard of elsewhere, of old men-a hundred years old, and- unborn infants, ing, cOndennied to punishMent and torture ? Where is hUmanity ? Where are the least-traees rality and virtue? This is the sort of nation with whom we haVe •to do ! From hence we may be able to judge whether an end can ever.be put to. the enmity between irreligion'and,piety, between vice and virtue. Long'. time have sve been in an 'error, in looking upon this nation as worthy of our esteem, oar friendship, and even our imitation.We have been cherishing and pressing to, oUr hos Oms • a serpent, . which at the same. time: that it has been tearing its own entrails, has been pouring out its poison on us ; and in:retrivn for our attachment and love, has been wounding us with its envenomed -sting. Let -us not be ashamed of acknowledging our weakness; it is more praiseworthy, and more secure, to fall and to rise again, than to see one's error, and to remain in , it-, The friendship and seductive manners of a corrupted people are snore dangerous to' us than their enmity and their arms. Let us render thanks to God—hce :is our father even in his wrath, and watches for our gorid.---Trovidence, in sending calamities upon us, still shews us his loving kindness. The loss of wealth may be made on by moderation in our luxuries, and be compensated by industry, • and our subStmee may increase with time hundred fold ; hut the perversion of. our morals, and the infectious tendency of infidelity and, impiety, would plunge us in irrevocable struction. A most signal example which has happened under our eyes, replete with enormities, made flagrant by the conflagration of Moscow, and which we have, as it were, sealed by our blood and -wounds, ought at last to open our eyes, and to convince us that we have but one of two alternativesi- to choose-either by continuing to cherish our partiality for this impious 'people, to be their no less impious ,hondmen ; or' by breaking • with them all moral connection, to return to the purity and, innocence of our own manners, and be in name, and in mind, and sonl,hraVe and true Russians. We -must, fin once, determine to: fix-. a bulwark betwee9. good and evil, that evil may not come unto "iis. It is then; that having gaiped experience by our blood and our calamities, we shall again arisew'e- shall purchase‘to Ourselves true glory—we shall procure peare and tranqui Pty to our posterity, and the Grace of God will be with  Lord HEATHFiwi lies dangerously ill at -house in Hill-street; Berkeley-square. His LordShip's life is despaired of, Accident Extraordinary few days- ago, as two gentlemen 'of Newcastle, were tta,,:elling on the North road, in a very high gig, when within two' miles of Morpeth, ()Wing to the darkness of . the night, they were precipitated over a bridge, about fifteen feet high, but the, horse and gig were prevented folloWirig them, by a srong.rail...
