FHIL. 1.21,22. For me to live it Christ, mnd to die
is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit <
of my laltour, yet what 1 shall chouse 1 want *
not. j
The Rev. William Tennent, an I
American divine, died 1777, aged 72.
The following is a suitable illustra
tion of the text for this day.
When Mr. Whitcfield was last in
America, Mr. Tennent paid him a
visit, as he was passing through New
Jersey; and one day dined, with the
other ministers, at a gentleman’s
house. After dinner Mr. W. adverted
to the difficulties attending the gospel
ministry; lamented that all their zeal
availed but little; said that he was
weary with the burdens of the day;
declared the great.consolation that in
a short time his work would be done,
, when he should depart and be with
Christ; he then appealed to the min
isters if it was not their great comfort
1 that they should go to rest. They*
; generally assented, except Mr, T.
, who sat next to Mr. W. in silence;
and by his countenance discovered
but little pleasure in the conversation.
On which Mr. W. tapping him on
the knee, said “ Well, brother Ten
nent, you are the oldest man among
ns, do you not rejoice to think that
your time is so near al hand, when
you will be called home?” Mr. T.
bluntly answered, “ I have no wish
about it.” Mr. \V. pressed him
again ; Mr. T. again answered, “ No,
Sir, it is no pleasure to me at all; and
if you knew your duty, it would be
none to you, I have nothing to do
with death, my business is to live as
long as 1 can—as well as I can—and
to serve my Master as faithfully as 1
can, until he shall think proper to
call me home ” Mr. W. still urged
for an explicit answer to his question,
in case the time of death were left to
his own choice. Mr. T. replied, “ 1
have no choice about it; I am Cod's
servant, and have engaged to do bis
business as long as he pleases to coa
tinne me (herein. But, now, Brother,
let me ask you a question. What do
you think I would say, if I was to
send my man into the field to plow;
and if at noon 1 should go to the field
and find him lounging under a tree,
and complaining, “ Master, the sun
is very hot, and the ploughing hard,
I am weary of the work you have
appointed me, and am overdone with
the heat and burden of the day. Do
Master let me return home, and be
discharged from this hard service ?
what would I say ? why that he was
a lazy fellow, that it was his business
to do the work that I had appointed
him, until I should think fit to call
him home.” The pleasant rntinner
in which this reproof was administer
ed rather increased the social harmo
ny of the company; who became
satisfied that it was very possible to
err, even in desiring with undue ear
nestness “to depart and be with
Christ, which in itself is far better”
than to remain in this imperfect state;
and that it is the duty of the Christian
in this respect to say, “All the days
of my appointed time will I wait till
my change come.”
CHARITY.
“ Charity,” says an old writer, “is
a virtue of the heart and not of the
hands. Gifts and alms arc the ex
pressions, not the essence of virtue.
A man may bestow great sums on
the poor and indigent without being
charitable, and may be charitable
when lie is not able to bestow any
thing. Charity is therefore a habit
of good will or benevolence in the
soul, which disposes to the love, as
sistance and relief of mankind, espe
cially of those who stand in need of
it. The poor man who has this ex
cellent frame of mind, is no less enti-
I lied to the reward of this virtue, than
I the man who founds a college.”
1 What a wide contrast between this
i picture of Charity and the every day
practice of the self-styled charitable
ones of the world ! How very few
among the best of us practice any
thing like a charitable spirit, or cul
tivate any thing like a charitable tem
! per! And yet how many of us are
j cherishing the delusive idea (hat we
are living in the exercise of this cha
rily !
DU. FRANKLIN.
The late Dr. Franklin had a pecu
liar and happy way of doing much
good. The following letter from him
is one of the numerous proofs that
might be adduced ;— < J send you

NEW-VORK, JUNE S. ,
Bv the arrival of the ship Louisa t
Matilda, Capt. Storer, in 42 days t
from Cadiz, the Editors of the New- (
York Daily Advertiser, received a j
file of Cadiz papers to the 25th A
pril, from which they have made the t
following translations, t
We learn by this vessel that the j
King of Spain had arrived in Seville,
ami that an English cutter had arriv- {
ed at Cadiz with a special messenger
from England for the King of Spain, f
and with two messengers on board
for other places. j
SEVILLE,APRIL 22. |
We have no news from the Penin
sula, and reports of all sorts are con- .
. tinually in circulation. Part of the (
French army has certainly passed
Vittoria, but that signifies nothing,
Cor the nearer they come they know
they must divide and the easier will
be our warfare. The departure o,
the supreme tribunal of justice, the
special tribunal of war, and the ma
rine, and the inspection of all arms,
and many other corporations and
private persons lias been determined
on.
His Majesty has named for the
ministry of the government of the
peninsula I). Jose Maris Caltrava,
minister of the supreme tribunal of
Justice, and for that of war Field
Marshal D. Maria Zorraquin, chief
ofE. M. of the first army of opera
tion.
APRIL 21.
Our armies are receiving consider
able reinforcements; the guerilla par
tier which have begun to form, are
augmenting on all sides, and the glo
ries of Albnera, Arlaban and San
Marcia], will be repeated all over
the Peninsula.
We have received a letter from
Madrid dated the J?th, which says—
Considering our circumstances all is
tranquil, and the pure Royalists of
Saint Louis will be received with va
lor and resignation, while our armies
are completely organizing and pre
paring to do more than merely to re
ceive them. If the French rascals
are bold enough to march to the ca
pital, rest assured they will pay dear
ly for their temerity. All the soldie
ry are burning with a degree of glory
and revenge.
APRIL 20.
We have learned for certain that a
decree of his Majesty has been sent
to day to the council of state, which
contains a solemn declaration of the
war of the Spanish nation against the
French. Even in this particular, we
have the advantage of that Govern
ment, which has so treacherously or
dered an invasion of our territory
, without a formal declaration of war,
against the custom of all civilized na
-1 lions.
As soon as the Government re
ceived notice of the French invasion,
they sent expresses to all the author
ities, commanding them to proceed
to hostilities against them by all the
means in their power, without omit
ting any.
According to intelligence received
by the government, the war has as
sumed a character entirely national.
Napoleon the first fell from his throne
under our blows—let us he united and
constant, and a similar fate awaits
our new and ungrateful enemy.
VALENCIA, APRIL 7.
We are under the necessity of an
nouncing that the valiant column of
Catalans, and other troops attached
to it, which entered a few days ago in
this city, crowned with the laurels of
victory, were yesterday in the after
noon dispersed in the fields of Nules
—the seditions, in a very superior
number waited for them, seized the
most convenient positions, and pre
pared their artillery, the light troops
(las Guerillas) began the firing ; and
the strength of the column, with that
ardour which has always been attri
buted to them, when all at once they
found themselves surrounded by the
seditious, the cavalry having failed in
their charge, in such case "they bad
no other recourse but that of dispers
ing themselves for their salvation.
The two-third parts of the infantry
have already presented themselves on
Castellon de la Plona, where there is
another column of 1200 infantry, and
200 cavalry. T his also has been
joined by more than fifty horses, and
we flatter ourselves that as many
more yet will present themselves to
join them.
Such are Valencians, the reverses
of war, this will always be in vain;
but valour und consistency shall save
us. The losses are nothing while
there remains yet means of replacing
them. We cun with certainty nn- i
nounce, that the must energetic pre-l

NEW-YOBK .TUNE iO. !
By the old line packet ship James 1
Cro|)(>er,' Capt. Marshal!, ini 38 days - 1
from Liverpool, the editors of the N.
York Daily Advertiser have received
their regular files of Liverpool papers ‘
to the first of Mriy, London papers to. 1
the evening of the 29th of Aprils arid; '
Lloyd’s Lists and London Shipping
lists to the 29th ot April, all inclusive.
The papers contain ver y little in- j
teresting intelligence of any descrip- J
lion. The entrance of a body of the 1
French forces at the eastern Pyre
nees into France, was announced on
the 18th of April. Their troops on
the opposite side of the kingdom do
not appear to have made much pro
gress, or to have achievecl any bril
liant exploits. It is stated in the
London Courier of the evening of
April 29, that no express had arrived
in that city on that morning; that
the next day was settling-day in Spa
nish and other securities, and that
there were, in consequence, many
rumours, the most prominent of
which was, the defeat of a division of
the French army by Gen. Mina.
The report has little effect—The
fluctuation in the bonds being only
between 33 3-4 & 341-4.
Resolutions had been moved in
both Houses of Parliament concern
ing the conduct of Ministers in the
course pursued by them with regard
to France and Spain. These resol il
lations were negatived by large and
decided majorities. In the House
of Commons, the motion was made
by Mr. J. Macdonald, and supported
by a long speech. The answer on
the part of the Ministry, was by Mr.
Stuart Wortley, who, in the course of
his remarks, expressed himself in ve
ry plain and decisive language with
regard to the conduct of France.
“ For himself,” Mr. Wortley, “ he
felt as strongly and warmly as the
Hon. Gentleman could do, that the
conduct of the Allied Sovereigns
struck at all the principles on which
the British Constitution was founded,
and attempted to shut the door to the
admission into any state of any thing
like rational liberty. Further, he
would say, that as to the conduct of
France, it seemed to him to be per
fectly incomprehensible. In Iris opin
ion, the French Government had
manifested a degree ol folly greater
than had ever been exhibited by any
other Government upon earth. He
had himself very little doubt, that
that folly would meet with its reward ;
and that the project of France would
ultimately fail.”
The Hamburgh papers mention,
that by the order of the Emperor
Alexander, contributions are collect
ing in the churches of Petersburg!)
for the support of the Greeks who
are prisoners to the Turks.
Sir Robert Wilson, accompanied
by a son of Lord Erskine, had left
London for Falmouth, to embark for
Vigo, to join the Spanish army.
Some of the French papers state
that the Duke Angouleme offered the
Governor of San Sebastian a bribe of
100,000 francs to surrender the for
tress, which he accepted, and when
the French troops advanced, fired
upon them, and killed about 860.
The money received was sent to the
Cortes.
The Irish papers contain the par
ticulars of many ferocious outrages
in Cork, Limerick, Clare, Galway,
Heath, and Dublin.
LONDON, APRIL 29.
“City, twelve o’clock.—No Ex
press has arrived in the City from
Paris this morning. Consols are 77
1-2 6-8. To-morrow is settling day
in Spanish and other Foreign Secu
rities ; there are, in consequence,
abundance of rumours.—The most
prominent is, the defeat of a division
of French troops by General Mina.
The report has, however, little effect,
the fluctuation in the Bonds of 1821,
being only between 33 3 4, and 34
1-2.”
On the 18th a division of the
French army occupied Logrono, a
town of Old Castile, seated on the
Ebro, and about 150 miles from
Madrid. Tire town was defended
by nearly 1000 of the Constitution
alists, and it is allowed by General
Guilleminot, in his despatch, that
some sharp fighting took place.—
The result, however, appears to have
been, that the French were successful,
taking the General who commanded,
200 men, one standard, and a great
quantity of arms and baggage.
The second corps contimied its
march towards Saragossa, while the
third corps, under tire command of
Prince Hohenlohe, forms the block
ade of St. Sebastian and Pantpeluna.
A private letter in the Qi/oticliennr ,
dated Bayonne, April 22d, mentions,
that an advanced guard had actually

considerable interest. The I
of o™. Rego tl,e ££*3 I
Commander, make it appear t&rt ti, H
forces of Count d’Amarante were I
giving way at all {Joints. The third I
bulletin dated Mirandela, April Kjtfi H
and the fourth from Galdenogueire’
April 12th, gives .accounts of £ ' ■
movements of the different forces.-*. 4 H
From these, we gather that noihh| H
more than skirmishing had taken B
place between the hostile troops'the ,1
adherents of d’Amarante constantly to
retreated, without coming tojanv sp- Bi
rious rencontre. The followm? is B
the fifth bulletin, dated B
April 13th, and the last received:—
“ The Constitutional Army en- fl
tered 10-day this city, amidst the at- I ’
cla mat ion of a countless multitude B
who received the troops as their de
liverers. H
“ The Constitutional Chamber,
went in a body to receive the* Gene- H
ral-in-chief at some distance from the
City. .. fl
“ Every countenance was anima- fl
ted by joy, and the most enthusiastic fl
patriotism. Cries of the Constku- B 1
tion, and the Constitutional King for !
ever, were mingled with imprecations V I
on tlje wretches who have brought B 1
so much evil on this prolijnee. B t
“ The factious left in the hospital H t
about 70 sicls of different regiments; H i
arid in the cattle some wagons, and a H
3-pounder spiked. H ■
“ Many officers of the corps of the B a
line, in the service of the factious. B b
have presented themselves; the B i
greater part had concealed them
selves, and many taken by the rebels, B
and for fear of the guerrillas, did not B
join the Constitutional army. B
“ Part of the troops of the factious B
are at Pedralvas, a Spanish town on B
the frontier; the rest is at Rio de 'On- B *
or, Aveleda, Sacoias Bacal and Vu!- B th
da Laimas. B hc
“ The army will march to-morrow B a
• in pursuit of them. Great indigna- B
tion is in felt at tlie conduct H co
of the rebels, who have committed H n
prodigious excesses—-robbing ami H Ui
insulting tjie most respectable per- H sh
sons. The mischief done by them in fl M
this province is incalculable. 0 „
“ Gen. Rego’s despatch recapitn- H -|,
lates these statements; —it isunccr B :,n
tain, he says, what direction the re- B , e
bels have taken, but he shall pursar B , n
them into Spain ; reaving however a B
sufficierit number of troops in the B
province to keep the people in check B *
•“ The great distress caused bj B
the factious in the districts tney oc- B
cupied, has rendered it extremely dis- B ,n ®
ficult to support the army, and is the B na
reason that it was not possible to ad- H * VI
vance more rapidly. The sums ia- B Ji, 3
ken by the rebels, from the public H opj
coffers at Braganza, are slated by the H mo
General to exceed 400,000 crusa- fl the
dos.” B are

The French troops, on entering fl ted
the Spanish territory, took with them H nei
nine days’provisions. Each soldier ■ aln
