The vcrfarility of chapclries, the amenable rights from iiian to nun, the paralogy and uncertainty of what is ultra¬ mundane, though inexplicable by man, are not to be admitted as preclulions to the ncceility, and intuitive relearches of divine war* tliip, and application- The ncccf- iity of humbling ourfclvcs at the feet of Him, in whofc hands are the fouls of men, and the fpirits of all llcfh ; who is auricular to all, and to whom only mull be at¬ tributed, for every thing fecming- ly to us adventitious, which has proved a favor, could an acknowl¬ edgment and adoration paid to iuch a Being, be regretted by us who are in any exerciic of gratui¬ ty. That we may open our hearts in fecret, and in folitude be edified to pay equally that adoration to God, which is remonitranced in coeflicacy of public worfhip, can¬ not by the judicious be admitted, as layingafide a profanation of the Sabbath ; could we look into the retirements of thofe who intend this to object, and alfo as willing- nefs to nullify if it were pofiible, the communion andcftablifltments of churches ; or, could their clof- cts fpeak, they would annunciate that reft, eafe, and the felfdh man's prayer, with fcarcely a thought of reverence or approach to the throne of mercy, has been their devotion. Vet their hearts are feats of vice, and their ways but continu¬ al and refractory deviation from the ordinance of God. Their pleafures very probably arc to {bead the Sabbath in every de- irrce of profanation j this is the day which they vd'erve to vilitthe haunting places of debauchery, diiiipation and the fields ofde- jjglit :__this preferable to every other day, becomes by them ap¬ pointed and •iven lengthened wit by anticipation, as the only time for their extreme heights of di¬ vert ion. In this day the ftrects mult DC crowded with a fwarming multi¬ tude, who as it were ihout a con¬ gratulation to its arrival, whofe purluits arc not to call on liim, by whom they live, and by whom they are prelVrved, to pardon them for their diurnal trmfgrcf- iions :—neither to offer up grati¬ tude and praife for his continued mercy. But whofe purfuits are., to vi;ii the theatre or pandimoni- uin <^ their wonders of the wor-ld j to be in competition with the grcateft allurements of vice and impenitence, and parade before the youth examples of almoil tr- )«:i!iii->:e afcendency, and even ex¬ tort them, from parental admoni¬ tion, religion, and virtue, which ..; : tfee oifiv tr»ie eri..MV;em> to Tbc Almighty never Itamp.- m fo forbid- ceafe thy 3 on the vie, urn thy eye lor ted; amelTagc, in which the Wi* left of mankind would rejoice to find an anfwer to their doubts, and reft to their inquiries.—It is idle to fay that a future forte had been dilbovered already—It had been diicovered, as the Coperm • can fyftem was—it was one guefs among many.

The following inftance of aw- ful vengeance, will contribute to {how what Napoleon will have tu encounter, and the determined refolution he will have to fubduc, lie is her feducer : in an unguar ded moment he triumphed over her virtue, he left her to brood over her penury and want. l)if. eafe, like a corroding canker, prey; on her vitals, and me will erelong be added to her native dud. Stran¬ ger yon weep at her misfortunes, your tears are unavailing. Her penitence is accepted, and She (hall yet be happy. Go warn thy prat- ling innocents of their future dan- cer ! Go ftiew them tills picture of uiifery ; and when they enquire the cauie, tell them a lordly brute fixed his cruel ixv^ on the object of- their pity *, tell them {he once was as gay, aa lovely, as innocent and as happy a • they now are ; bat me was betrayed, & her fond cm- pecl:ation;> blafted forever. o Alas ! the enemies oi' Chridian- iry have puriued here with poi- foncd arrows. Obfeenily itielt is made i!ie vehicle of infidelity. The awful doctrines, if we be not permitted to call them the (acred truths of rch'don, too-.ether with ah the adjuncts and appendages of i:s worihip and external pro- Jefiion, have been fometimes im¬ pudently profaned by an unnatu¬ ral conjunction with impure and l.ifcivious images. The fondnefs for ridicule is almoft univcri'.d ; and ridicule, to many minds, is never fo irrefiiliblc aa when lea- foiled with obfcenlty and employ¬ ed upon religion ; but in propor¬ tion as thefe noxious principles take hold of the iina-rination, thev ir.*itu •.',': the juilgiTi'.ni ; l.«r tuiw. of ludicrous and unchafie affocia- tions, adhering to every ienti- ment and mention of religion, render tlic mind indifpofcd to re¬ ceive either conviction from its evidence, or impreflions from its authority; and this effect, being excited upon the fcnlitivc part of our frame, is altogether indepen¬ dent of argument, proof* or rea¬ son, as formidable to a true re¬ ligion, as a falfc one ; to a well grounded faith, as to a chimerical mythology, or fabulous tradition. Neither, let it be obfevved, is the crime or danger lefs, becaufe im¬ pure ideas are exhibited under a veil,in chaitized language. Seriouf- nefs is not conftraint or thought ; nor levity freedom. Every mind which willies the advancement of truth and knowledge, in the molt important of all human refearches, mull: abhor this liccntioufnefs, as violating no lefs the laws of rea- foning, than the rights of decency. There is but one defcription of men, to whofe principles it ought to be tolerable, 1 mean that dais of reafoners, who can fee little in chriitianit)-, even fuppofmg it to be true. To fuch adversaries may I addrefs this reflection—Had Jc- fus ChrilVdelivered no other dec¬ laration than the following: "The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the grave mall hear his before he can bring Spain into that abject fubmifiion in which he holds the veil of continental Tn- ropei \ give it, in fubftance, from the moutn of a SpaniJh gcnU< man, and diftinguiihed character* whoafliftcd in performing the laic fad offices to the intrepid heroine.

The frequent recurrence to names f places beginning with &//, is ant a little darming to a lliani;er in Ereland, more efpeciaiiy ithefe not under the influence ol thofe fooliih. prejudices which fvaveoeeii excited a era in ft this Gauntry. ll I have (fays Carr, in his llrangcr ia "Ireland) juft enumerated in my memory, not lefs than 49 of th.ic kill places." The name produced the following ridiculous iniftake: —when fome of our militia rein- merits were in Ireland, durirur the ed Mariana Samanieso. After the tumult of blood and murder fub- fkled, General Vcluci, and fix of his olliccrs, entering the honle of tlie above ladv, demanded refrefh- # ment. Probably the refolution Jir'l itruck her mind. In a fhort time the meal was ready, and they prepared to eat—when one of the olliccrs fuggeded the probability that it was poifoned, (for fome- ed, whole vineyards were poifon¬ ed, and numbers killed by drink¬ ing,) but the firm and fearlefs Mariana, to avert fufpicion, offer¬ ed to cat with 1 hem, and accor- dinsrly they fat down- tocrethcr. Aftei the meal, Mariana faid to Veluci—" You murdered my fa¬ ther, and in return i-iiave deftroy- cd you.—In a fhort time you will all be dead."—And, indeed, in a few hours they all expired ; a dreadful iacrilice to the manes of her parents and the freedom of her country. But to crown all, the intrepid Samaniego foon fell dead among her lireleis gucils. While it is impoflible to mourn for the fate of the minions of Na¬ poleon, we cannot but lament the deltiny of the heroic maid, and heave a ligh of regret that a coun¬ try, once the great eft in the world, (liould become a prey to rapine, cruelty and blood.
