us was a Calvinist ; and consequently the whole body of that sect was included in it . To endeavour , therefore , to resist a wrong impression which may possibly be made on soine of your readers , respecting the religious Creed of so large a portion of professing Christians , I beg leave to observe , that the account , as given of it by your ** Old Correspondent , " in his u stage-coach conversation /* is false . The Calvinists do not " maintain that
whatever crimes they commit , they have only to confess them , and believe that another person was punished in their stead , and that by his righteousness they are made perfectly righteous , and are perfectly safe . " They do , indeed , consider
their own righteousness of so little account , that they cannot depend Upon it for everlasting felicity ; and therefore apply to the " fountain open for sin and uncleanness , " and depend upon the righteousness of 4 * Hifh who was made sin for' *
them , ** who knew lio sin . that *' they * might be the righteousness of God in him : ' * but at the same

Bark Money . Sir , Though your pages are dedicated to much more important concerns , than the financial arrangements of a kingdom , yet as the nature of paper-money is , by the circumstances of the times , forced
upon every man ' s consideration , the following document relative to it may deserve attention . The middle bark of the mulberry tree served the purpose of paper in England , but the difference between the two systems consisted in this , that the government of the country
in the East , derived all the advantage of its bark-inbney , whereas in " our Country the profits ^ and immense they are , are enjoyed b y the proprietors of the Bank , anil the bamcers of country towns , ty
whom the paper money is issued . Should any of your readers happen to be in possession of any farther information respecting this Jbarkmoney , naniely , as to the mode of fts fabrication , the '' . preventives of its fabrication , the . preventives
