    best way of making atonement for the outrages Britons have committed on the Danes , and of averting the Divine displeasure . In Sweden , a society has been established , by some of the leading- -clergy of Stockholm , to co-operate with the ' * Religious Tract Society . " And we

    learn from a letter of the Pev . Mr Pater , on , the Society ' s co ; respondent in Stockholm , that " there are not a few faithful preachers of the cross there , that religion is warmly supported by the Cou / , and many of the first people among the nobility , that one of the tracts entitled " James Covey" found its

    ¦ w ay to the Prince Royal , who was rather diverted "with the first part of it , but when he came to Covey * s conversion , he grew very serious and at last burst into tears , and that the King , who has been made acquainted with the plan , has been pleased to express his thankfulness that persons were found ,

    who would in this way diffuse the knowledge of the Redeemer among hjs people ^ , and that his assistance may be hof&d / for . " Fifty pounds have been transmitted to Sweden , to assist the good work , and % o , 000 copies of one
