" AN EXTRACT. “H ’W, say they, came this man so suddenly to change bis principles, and from a fierce de fender of deism, instantly become an apparent 7-ealot in the cause of Christianity?” To this I answer, that the change was by no means so sudden as they may imagine; for 1 had doubts long before i knew their meaning, and when I did. I kept them within my own breast; and 1 candidly confess that I was determined not to part with favorite principles on slighter or fljm pro f; especially as I saw that a recantation would bring upon me every species of imput ed infamy (hat malice could invent: but doubt succeeded doubt, and circumstance after cir who are not enemies to Christmmty, to-give it one insertion, that the fathers and heads of families,, may hold it up as a warning to the young and giddy; that neighbors may guard each otfier against the prevailing poison, and that deists, especially, may be inclined to pause a moment, and, if possible—consider. - dour between the hours of 10 in the morning and 4 in the j p 0site syste ms, and bring them both to that afternoul). \ » . » I • f ,, r • it iEJ tuitjuiu duu.ii vtiuiuii •• V (accompaniedWith aco- p* 1 nh-tone by which all professions, which is ihe largest in the city; O.o^i^.K.Land, ” nJ ma f * JW| „,, s fi ,j ed b * th beJow and , r cths atieest. fully proved, vxz:-“By their fruits ye shall l ...

That I never saw, beard, or read of any man, woman or child that was reformed, either ia whole or io part, by embracing the prioci pies of deism. 2. That I have known hundreds, and heard of thousands who have been reformed by em bracing Christianity: 8. That I hHVe known industrious, sober men, who imbibing the principles of deism, al most instantly became desperately wicked and in many instances dangerous members of civil society: 4. That I hav: known some deists, and ma- nv scoff-r« at ail religion, speedily, and effec 11dally turned from the most abandoned prac tices, by the preaching of the Gospel, to a life •f rigbteou-nes> vvi ich shewed linnlf by sobrie- tv, charity, brother'y kindness and universal philnnthropv 6 That I do not recollect ever hearing hut one deist profess really to believe in u future state of rewards and punishments 6 That I never met with a man who pro posed to be a real Christian, bur what htiilf his principal hopes upon the reality of a future state. 7. Tn.-rt I cannot, in al! the deistical wri tings, find any laws to prevent wickedness, or enct urajje virtue, with rewards & punishments annexed thereto 8 That in the scriptures all the crimes that man can possiblv commit, are under the <ev« r est penalties, forbidden, and every po-c;b!e virtue inculcated and encouraged, by promises of eternal and. exceeding great rewards 9. That I have known some deists, and read of many, who, at the apparent point of death, were seized with tbe most horrible rfe.— pair, uttering the most bitter reflections against Hu rnse’vfs fer this total neglect of those duties commanded in the Gospel. But whoever heard of a Christian at the hour of death, despairing of the mercy of Gnd. because he had all his life-time rejected deism, anti shun> ed tin 1 cam pnny of its professor*? or even when long and fiarce diseases had shaken the nervous system, and raging fevers inflamed the blood, hav#- they ever been so far deranged, as to wish they bad never been born, for not rejecting the Bible, as a wicked and nnschicveous im position upon the human race? From the above th. n, what reflections must arise but that deism is essentially bad ami na turally produces wickedness by taking away the foundation of all virtue; viz: the love and fear of Godl for what man can either love or ' fear God who really believes he intends to an nihiinte him, body, soul and 6pint,or blend him with the common nra>s of inanimate matter, or send him after al! his toil and care, bodily pain anti mental sorrow, to Vegetate in common trrass; or bore animated, as chance directs, in to reptiles, insects or beastial.form ? With such unmanly doglike f«rh as this, awav fly ail love, regard and fear of God Laborious vir lue, bv this faith, is transformed inlo the cx trome ol madnes; vice and pleasurable wicked ness, into the most just and rational pursuit of man; nay crimes of every ma oitude may he committed with impunity for if man be not immortal God is not omnipotent to punish his delinquency:—therefore, when he has become obnoxious to the laws of man, he may, by the tatal ball, the suffocating stream, or poisonous draught, put himself out of the power ot laws, moral or divine, & nd thus completely escape both temporal and eternal just icc. And now, my old deistical friends, I ask you in the name of your boasted reason, are these notions, calculated to reform, or, to corrupt man kind—to create, or to destroy social order, con curd, harmony and civil liberty? -Are they not in their very uature, calculated to sap the foun dation of virtue, produce immortality, breed confusion, and totally destroy all confidence be ttveen man and man? and whether that ver> system you so ardently oppose, is not the only means of curbing-the furious progress of your pernicious tenets; which wou'd, it once become u iversal, turn this earth into a H .'il, and in vulve even vourselvo in such unexpected mis ery, as would make you sincerely prav for the return of that religion, which you would the-n see, can only stem the torreut of lawless villai ny by humanizing the obdurate heart—and which alone can bend the stubborn will of man into hurntde obedience, and strict conformity to the laws of heaven I conclude, oy asserting that the foregoing is the effect of cool and deliberate reflections— that the sole end I hav- in view bv the publica tion thereof, is, if possible, to undo what land others t&ve done, towards the propagation of de ism ^ 1 have herein stated facts and advanced opinions, and for the truth of the one, and the sincerity oft he other. Ido in the most solemn manner, appeal to the God of my ezrstenee—»nd as such, I request all the editors of newspapers, From the JV. Y. Daily Advertiser, May 13. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.

Rev. Dr Lyle opened tire exer cises by reading the 47lb chapter of the proph et Isaiah. The President, Col.

During Hie year 97 new auxiliaries were .orniv d. so i hat the whole number of auxiliaries is now 757. A number of distinguished individuals were, present from different places, and the interest excited by the exercises was proved by the a; tent ion paid by the audience. Tbe Society have been called to lament the loss of one ot their Vice Presidents during the year, the Hon Andrew Kirkpatrick, of New- Jersey; and an active and devoted member oi the Board of Maoagers. Dr. John Watts, of this city. The evidence afforded of the rapid extension of the Society's operations, the im portant- benefits it has already produced, and its prospects of future usefulness, together with the attention paid by the qjimeroua and hizhlv respectable audience, rendered this oc* casion one of a highly interesting nature. Revivals.—It must be truly gratifying to the friends of religion to learn the number of revivals that have lately taken place in our towns and colleges. lit Charleston, New York, Middlebury College, Franklin College, &c. &c. there have been renivals. We have seen none more cheering than the following in the North Carolina Univer sity. VVe learn that there has been a very exten sive Revival at Chapel Hill, amongst the Stu dents. Ir is said that every member of tbe College, with the exception of thirty, has made an open profession of Religion.—Raleigh Starr FOREIGN. VERY LATE FROM EUROPE. Gen.

Tbe Liverpool p icket ship Florida, and tbe Havre packet ship Erie, both arrived at New York on Monday morning, bringing Paris pa pers of May 1st. and Liverpool of May 2d, all inclusive. From the New York Commercial, Eveuing Post, Courier, Gazette. Daily Advertiser and Journal of Commerce, we make the extracts which follow. Thq intelligence from the Poles is still favo mble The utmost that the Russian General has attempted is to concentrate his forces, and to pursue a system of cautious defensive war fare. In the meantime the insurrection is spreading in Volhynia, where Gen. Dwernicki is received every where with much euthusi a*.m ! Boll’s Weekly Messenger, o! the 1st May, says: ’ VVe have received letters from Warsaw to the 18th ult. which contain gratifying intel ligence ot the continued success ol’ the Poles, and of the rapid spread of the .nsurrechoj — It would appear that Marshal Diebitsh is con centrating his army round Siedlec, and thinks -only of keeping possession of Siedlec and Lu blin, in order to ensure a free communication with the Russian Provinces. Meanwhile Gen. D.verniki has eutcred Volhynia, and ha9 every where been received wub enthusiasm. It is reported that he has .encountered and beaten the force of the Russian General Rudiger.— We have, however, no official intelligence of this event, but the despatches which have ar rived leave no doubt of the extension of the insurrection into Volhynia.’* The Prussian State Gazette of Aprill 22, contains the following official article: From the Russian Head Quarters April 14.— Field Marshal Count Dtebusch transferred his bead quarters on the 10th to Siediir, where the whole Pussian army is united. The enemy had avoided the attacks at all points, and the badness of the road continued to make rapid movements impossible; and as such largo mus es of troops could not find sustenance in a country already exhausted the Russian com tnauder judged it beat to effect his union with the corps of General Rczen and Pahlen This has been done, and the operations will be re commenced. ‘ On the 14th, the first division of grenadiers attacked the enemy on the left bank of the L: wice, and drove him to the other side with a loss ol three hundred prisoners, and many kil led and wounded Tomorrow we shall be able to give more detailed accounts of the whole course of the Russian operations." On the other hand, we have the following, also given in the Prussian Gazette, from War saw, April IT: — - - ‘On the 14th, a letter was read here, from the General in Chief to the Governor of War saw, in which he say9, that in case he should have to go to a greater distance in pursuit of the enemy, he -hall depend on tire firmness Miid bravery of the citizens of Warsaw ; and was assured, that under the conduct of Gen. Kruckowiecki, they would defend the city to the utmost against any hostile attack." After this letter was read, some of the prin cipal persons addressed the citizens, who de clared they were ready to exert themselves to the utmost. The head quarters of the Com mnuder in Chief, which on the 7th were at Sn enne, were on the 14th at Jendezejow. The Polish Gazette reports thai the Russian guards upon the Bug are now effecting their junction with the army of Field Marshal Die- bitsch. The following is the latest official article from the Russian Head Quarters. We trans late it from tbe G^ze’te dt- France of May 1: RUSSIAN HEAD QUARTERS April 6 The last account shows, that every prep tra- tionior crossing the Vistula had bee:i made, when the approach of a considerable mass of troops from Warsaw, determined Marshal Die- bitsch to strike a decisive blow. He accord ingly directed the 4th with the 1st division of infantry, and the 3d cavalry, with the Lithuni- hd guards, and a large part of the grenadier corps upon Zelechow and pushed his advanc ed guard of to Latowize, where the Zwilten- back and the marshes make the defiles very difficult. The main body would have follow ed this movement, if the extreme difficulty of procuring supplies had not forcedt he Marshal to concentrate it nearer his convoys; it was there fore, concentrated on the 10th at Lukrow, with an advance guard reaching to Stockzec, to onuect it with the division at Denibe. r The enemy moveu aioug paidileiwitb th« c auseway by forced marches upon Siedlic, and Sicners attempted to check their movements. When the Poles approached the south side of Muchawice, they attacked Geo Rosen in close columns. The fight lasted till seven o’clock. Many charges of cavalry and by the bayonet, which were supported by our artillery, check ed the enemy, and their failure forced them to retire. Nevertheless, Diebitsch foreseeing that the enemy would attempt the day following to pass the Mucbawise, directed his main body upon Siedlec. The Poles did not accept the combat, and retired upon Kalnwin and Serowin——oor ad. Vance guard followed them to Mingosbury.— General Thieman is watching the country be tween the Wiepurz, the Vistula and the cause way of Warsaw. Gen Gersteinweig occupies Kock, and G: n. Ougroumoff will establish him self at Wegnon General Uminsky had retired from Pnltusk, and General Sachem was- ordered to watch him. Gen. Sterawski has passed on the 8th to the left side of the Vistula, with 6000 men. GeD. Rudiger having framed that Dwernicki had passed the Bug between the Laconic and Ur cilug, had concentrated forces to attack him. on the right of Liewick, in front of Liew, aud had established a tete de pont. The RmsteOS overthrew the enemy, and even made then** selves masters of the work. They had alrea dy taken many cannon,'when a mass ot Po sh cavalry forced them to abandon their booty, and to fall back upon the infantry, which sus tained and rcpulsod all attacks. VVe have :a- ken from 300 to 400 prisoners—the killed must have been numerous on the side of tbe en*my; we have only a tew hundred men hers du com bat. General Ougromoff remains in the position winch he h«d couquered, and de- slroyed the uitrenchment formed by the ene my—Gazette d’Etat de Prusse. Although in the preceding bulletin tbe Rus sians claim victories, yet it will be pcrc> iveci that they were acting on the defensive, and according to their own bUy*.,x. s , »k<*y victorious only in repelling assaults from the Poh‘S. The French papers contain a proclamation from the Emperor of Russia, declaring the. go vernment of Courland (in which is Wilna) in a state of war, and the people under milita ry law, thus authenticating the Polish accounts of an insurrection there. The Courier Francais of Apni 30, cornnu nt- ingon a rumor that an engagement had taken place between tbe Russians & the Poie», whLJj terminated to the advantage of the I *-r, says that “it could not have been in ih ii of g eat cons quence The de spatch© which speak of u, only to go to confirm the near appro •< ft of a general battle, it might perhaps be n mat ter of regret that Poland should he subjects d io the risk of a single battle; but the Comm inder Chief has heretofore shown so much prudence and skill, that he may be retied up m a» most competent to appreciate the best means of sustaining bis cause.” The same paper says there is another piece of news more distressing than that of a battle, to wit: that the cholera morbus* had invaded some of the divisions of the Pultsh Army. It bad prevailed in the Russian corps of Count Pahlen, and been communicated to tfie Poles by prisoners taken in the neighborhood oi Set- dlic, and the concentration ol Diebiisch’s ior. ces in those environs, wdl propogate it through his whole army 1*. will probably be tbe samo with that of the Poles. It is confidently said that Marshal Oueieeb] noau had received orders to enter Poland with his army, and that the movement had only been prevented by the insurrection at Lsthtmia. Letters from Warsaw; according to some Jour nal not named, “announced that among the prisoners taken at fgmany, was the Prince: Paul, son of tbe Grand Duke ConstaDiio te ; and lt«rt ttrc. OwuiiiJiiuilCr ffl Ul 11LV 1J n IJ er.ujaStisu: a court equippnge to conduct a prisoner, whom, he says in his despatches, they will h- much surprised to see enter Warsaw. They nose lost in conjecture, in the capital, as to tn namo of tbis,personage.” SUCCESS OF THE POLES Extracts of a letter from Dundee, dated 20th April. Within these last lew days several vessels have arrived from Duntz’g and Meinei. One yesterday, from the latter port, in s^veii days, the captain ot which reports that .* gri at bat* tie had been fought between the Russians and the Poles on the 15:h imu n which the former were totally defeated, and that 14 000 had gone over to the side of the Pule*. He reports further, that detachments of the Ru- im troops were in fall retreat up<>i. gVIemcl w: ro- some ot them harb^lTready arrsv- j be tore he*Iefb Alsoi that he had himself con versed with some Russian officers, who con fessed that Gen Diebitsch ban been worsted, and that the Poles had been found a different sort of enemy to toe Turks. This account cannot, of course, be strictly relied upon, but the fact of a battle havmg taken place on the 15th instant, in which the Russian army were the sufferers, is confirmed by the arrival of a vessel at Leith from Danizig in a few days.” GENERAL DWERNICKI IN VOLHYNIA General Dwernicki, vvnom the German Jour nals hav. so often announced as lost, who with his whole corps, was surrounded by tbe Rus sian Generals de Witt, Kreufz, and Rud.ger, though neither of them dare attack him, and whom the Fi*dd Marshal managed to destroy in each of his reports, has entered Yoihynia, after having passed the Bug, near Kryiow, on the night of the 10th and lltb current. The officer, K-*czkowski who brought us this news left him on the 16th at Churacow, at the moment when bis columns to. k the di rection of Dubao and Krzemimce: Our Ge neral met at Chorachow, recruits from V ihy- nia, which the Russians were leading in chains. He asked what was the crime fi>r which riiey were enchained. They replied that they had committed no crime, but that they were lead* iug them in this way to joi^the army. Asl; these brave fellows, rejoined General Dwer- nicki pointing out to our men, and learn from them if a single one of them has been tr* .ted in so croel a manner; they will reply, that all of them have hastened, freely & full of ardour, to the defence of our common country, nnd on the orderof the General, our lancers and chasseurs broke tbe chains, which aff rded aa affecting spectacle. Embrace each other then said the General to them, you are all brothers. ' Tears have flowed, cries of joy were heard and the Volhyniaas, mingled with our troops The enthusiasm is geoeral; contributions flow in; and the inhabitants arrive from all sides with arms in their hands The entry of Gen. Dwernicki into Volhynia promises us great advantages ; it will be tbe signal of insurrection for all the Ru^o Polish * See an interesting article on the euhj»c* of this scourge in the National Intelligencer of MaySfStta
