From an tfkay on the I)iiiae Authority
OF run he iv •fp. srjMEVTy
By D KVtb'jSQGXJp:
Men never get before the New Testa
ment.
For centijnes' past, ti e world hat
’ be''o state of gradual improve
rntvu. which is ‘till increasing with
accelerated rapidity. Ancient ages,
even most rendwneA, we hare far out
stripped in evtrv
by means of modern discoveries- their
most famous books are found ex
trerrtly deficient. W ithin the limits
of the eighteenth c<*nturv, this has
been remarkably the case. How
mmy treatises regarded as master
pieces, at the pegmuing, were look
er? upon fcs antiquated, before the end.
Vv heft we consider the intense appli
cation. of thousands of enlighened
and highly cultivated minds, all in
quest of new discoveries, and all en
<!’ i.voiiiing to improve on what was .
written before, tie shall not wonder
at this advancement.
We a.’ ndlurully led to enquirej
bow it is in reference to religion, and
whether-the New Testament stands
its ground. A full proportion of
lehrned “men have applied themselves
to the study of the principles .of reli
gion and morals, arid to those sci
ences connected with them, Which
hafVe re sp ect to moral obligation and
privilege. But .have any of them out
stripped ifte N 2'v Testament,ms the
moderns have outstripped the andient
philosophers l Have.they found out J
any part of the character of God |
Ivhjj|h it does not display ; or any |
dntv, widen it does not inculcate ?—•
No : after ail their researches, and
with ad the additional knowledge of
eighteen cenuirics, thev have nos
itkjv I » step before it. Nay, tuey
may perceive the New
atiH before them. ‘ ,
In t.iese latte i times many conceive
tha* c >n .iderahlc progress h.** been
ihade ui the knowledge of that part
of morals whitfh respects individual,
and domestic* but especially nation-* ,
al relations. After having viewed
these pretensions, which profess to |
ifoa.ve their basis fixed on tiie princi- ‘
pfle-> us eternal justice, let us turn
to the New Testament, aftxt ekamme j
if tiiese men have outstripped it.—
Hut ve iind there all tnese noble sen- ,
the force, and extent of •
ht.'.h were not perceived before, ■
Ta» are applicable to what is good
in iht m and »o those things which
$r realty improvement*; md coun
naociog and enjoying tne in bv the !
Spirit of tile gospel. Is it not aston- \
inning. that whenever any useful dis- i
covery in moral science has be/nr ’
in vde. it is found that toe N*w Tes
tam nt contains it, th ugh unnoticed
before ♦ Inis bus need me case IYo n’
ten ury to century : it is so still ;
an t no doubt, there are manv divure
prmciples ot morals in this book,
WtW. i the i#ogress in kvio wledge,
of mU and future agifsf will enaoie
jnyn to perceive. e
But wiience comes tins peeoh&v
quality i ThcJ vast c >.:ip cHebsive
’knowledge of tne ipirit or Jfo t woo
indr'.ed it. can alode oe assigned as a
rational, and satisfactory cause. If
Christianity had oeeti tne invention
of men, it would nave -shared the
fate of ail other systems of the like
origin : Tne improvements ojf mo-*
dem Limes would have left it lar be
hind. , ‘ ‘ ■
t his bas been :he case with all
the pagan religions. A\ person in
tiv* present age, who had written >n
theon)gic fJpnojects, i-hough of mode
rate abilities, instead of considering
it as a comgjiment, would think him
self grossly insulted, if you ware to
say to him, I tduure your nook :
yotu ideas of God and religion are
fully on a level with the Grecian my
tlvdogy, the Indian 1 Ghasiers. and toe
system of GthlfucfiMk*’ Nor would
be think that justiceavas donemimv
Unless it were granted,• that be had
surpassed the Koran hi Mahomet, in
his i c presentafionrs of ti inn and du
ty. But the plain illiterate fisher
men, publicans, -and tt iu-makers of
Judea and Galilee, after the lapse of
eighteen centuries, are still mailers
.in religion and morals. No iban in
all tliat* time has stepped one foot
before them-—L*ei mose. *who will
Hot allow tnat 4hey were taught of
God, assign a satisfactory reason for
their pre-snn,»ence. ff

Lieut Gregory left here with his
pat ty on the evening of the 15th ipst.
and proceeded to the “ Thousand

on shore and concealed them ; saw
twd brigades of boats pass, one up

strong for our litle party—the other
down the river, empty, and i\pt

i Lieut. Gregory found the enemy
had gun-boats stationed between
Kingston aneftPrescott within about.
hsiX miles of each other, ancf that
they had a telegraph and look out id
almost every high island, so that they
convey intelligence with great expe
dition. ‘-V r •
Yesterday morning between § and
10 o’clock, Lieut. Gregory finding
himself a gun-boat
close to him, he instantly formed the
bold design to board her, which he
did and carried her without losing a
man, one ot the enemy was badly
wounded—-she proved to be the fine
gun-boat Black Snake or No. 9, and
mounted one 18 pounder and man
ned with IS men chiefly royal ma
rines, (a list of which is enclosed. )
Lieutenant Gregory manned his
prize and proceeded up the St.
Lawrence, but was soon discovered
and pursued by a veryj large gun
, boat mounting two heavy guns and
rowed with upwards of forty oars
whicn overhauled him fast—he kept
possesion of his prize until the ene
i*iy threw their shot over him, he
then very reluctantly fbut I think
took all his prisoners out
and scuttled the gun-boat which sunk
and escaped"the enemy,
although so heavily loaded. * Lieut.
Gregory arrived safe this morning ‘
with all his prisoners
Permit me to recommend this gal
