the head of a large army. Camps of
reserve are formed at Meaux, Sois
sous, Chalons, Troyes and Arey-Sur-
Aube, there are at Chalons about
600 pieces of artillery. It is hoped
that the force of the army aided
ed by the national guards, when once
in movement under the command of
the Emperor, will be adequate to
drive the enemy out of France, and
the result may bring about a general
peace.**

high up as Green Bay with 5 large
Boats loaded with merchandize for
the Indians. From the Green Bay
he ascended the Fox river to a cer
tain point where the goods were lan
ded, and he procured pack houses
and penetrated into the interior, ex

the same purpose, and each are pro

IC7* We this day commence the.
publication of extracts f«*om.a late
celebrated wqrk» entitled V. An Es
say on the Divine Authority of the
New Testament, by the Rev., David
‘’Bogue*” Mr. Bogue is an active,
and useful member of the London
Missionary Society. Besides other
public duties, he has been, ; for. years
past, successfully employed in edu%
eating, and preparing young m.e>) for
distant missionary anioiig
the pagans in Asia and eLewhere*. •
I he Society resolved, some years
since, to print a large edition of the
New Testament for the use of the
people of France, and requested Mr.
Bogiie to prepare an essay on the
Divine authority of the New Testa
ment to accompany this edition—r
This was thought advisable on,ac- .
count of the wide spread of infidelity
in that country. * The task was un
dertaken by Mr Bogue, and execu
ted in a manner which for justness
of method, perspicuity of style, and \
strength of leasoning, and for all •
those qualities, which deservedly
j render a work generally popular and
generally useful, has perhaps never
been exceeded, on that subject, ill
the English, or any other language.
We design to publish considera- j
bly lengthy extracts from this work,
• for some time ; and we doubt, not
but our readers will tiqd both plea
sure and profit in the perusal of
them. We particularly recommend
them to the candid attention of t lose J
persons who are conscious, of being
tinctured with infidel sentiments, or j
’ who arfect to be so.
; These extracts will acquaint the •
public in some measure wun the me- I
rit of. the Work, and be the means !

tensive circulation in this southern

defeats, ani bung overrun by over
whelming numbers of allied forces,
