Earnestly request otr readers to give it An if? tentive and careful perusal. It will be found to be judiciously and impressively managed, «n4 cannot Bui, we think, to be interesting; to all denominations and descriptions of per sons in our coontry. To Bup-ists it must be Influential, as bei.ig the affectionate and pas toral address of so respectable and pious a portion of their Clergy, an address too so a ply supported by scripture add reason. To , Methodists, Presbyterians, and other deno ; tarnations It will be grateful, as well as in. structive and admonitory. Arid to those who Sire not professors of religion, even to infideis themselves, who have any claim to the virtue of patriotism, or who at all appreciate the peace and happiness of civil society* and would wish to have rendered as secure as possible, the lives, liberty and property of individuals, it cannot be without some good effect. Deists acknowledge that a sense of moral obligation in the mtnds of men gene tally, greatly promotes the well being of ci. e?!/'society. And many Deists agree with Universal experience in acknowledging, that the institutions of Christianity, and especi ally the religious observation of the Sabbath, and its immediate duties, greatly cherishes, and’ promotes, in the minds of men, a sense of moral obligation. So true is this* that tJ mine nr Deistical Philosophers have acknow ledged the inefficiency of all their reasonings, and of alJjheir efforts to eradicate christiuni. ty from the world, so long as, the Ond the Lord's Supper shall lllreligiousl/ re garded. Let this consideration animate the fiends of religion to regard the Sabbath,*- May the Divine Head of the Church succeed the laudable attempt above alluded to, to promote in our country the religious observa tion of the Sabbath.

The e nemv, from their own acknowledg ment, had about 240. The fine light company of the Royal Scots is totally destroyed ; they led the at tack most gallantly, and their com mander fell within ten paces bf our front line. The light company of t t B§th has also suffered severely ; one officer of that company fell, one is a prisoner, and another is said to be badly wounded. In killed , woun ded ftnd prisoners, the enemy lost about 80—whilst on our part there were but four killed and four wound ed. I'his great disparity in the loss on each side, is to be Attributed to the very judicious position occupied by capt.
