As we area mere handful , our efforts have been considerable . —Whether——has represented these facts to the p ublic through the medium of the R epository , as I suggested four years ago , I cannot undertake to say—several Nos . of the Repository having
been lost during the war and -not yet replaced * I confess I did calculate on his zeal in stimulating those who were able to render essential aid , though I am necessarily ignorant as to the probability of success . Per haps , as we are now political friends , this may be a better time to represen t our case titan when I first wrote . "
"A Dr . Morse in the vicinity of Boston , and a Calvinistic minister , lately published a piece , entitled , American Unitarian ism , ' extracted from Mr . Belsbam ' s Life of Mr . Lindsey . The same person as editor of a periodical publication entitled * The PanopisV published therein an article called * Review of American
Unitanamsm , containing not only misrepresentations of facts , but various calumnies against the Boston ministers and others of liberal sentiments . This brought out Mr . Channing , who declares himself an Unitarian , speaks of those with whom he is most
intimately connected as holding similar opinions , denies the charges of concealment , duplicity , &c . A Di \
Worcester has rejoined in a very article , to which Mr . C . has well replied . Lastly , as Harvard College had been attacked , John Lowell , Esq . one of the most active of its trustees , has written ably on its behalf . I shall send some of these
pamphlets for your perusal . They will serve to shew the temper of the orthodox . Mr . Charming is correct in stating that the generality of his brethren believe in the pre-existence of Christ * , but he appropriates the term Unitarian to all the worshipers of the Father . As our church was

Persecution of the Protestants in . France . ORDONNA . NCE OF THE KING . Louis , by the Grace of God , &c . An atrocious crime has sullied our
city of . Nismes . In defiance of the Constitutional Charter , which recognizes the Catholic religion as the religion of the State , but which guarantees to other worships protection and liberty , a seditious mob has dared to oppose the opening of the Protestant
temple . Our military commandant in endeavouring to disperse them by persuasion before resorting to force , has been assassinated , and his assassin has souerht an asylum against the
pursuit of justice . ^ If such an offence should remain unpunished , there would be no longer either public order or government , and our ministers would be guilty of a non-execution of the laws .
For these causes we have ordered and do order as follows : — Art . l . Our Procureur General and our Procureur Ordinaire shall proceed without delay against the assassin of General Lagarde , ( tai * d against the persons concerned in the riot which took place at Nismes on the 12 th instant .
