point , making remonstrances in favour of the Seine , which they represent as the truly legitimate river . When the ceremony was taking place , Louis is reported to have said ; " Let as invoke for the child the protection of the Mother of
God , the Queen of Angels , and implore her to watch over Jjis days , to remove far from his cradle the misfortunes with which Providence his afflicted his relatives , and to conduct him by a path less rugged thaa I have trodden to eternal felicity !"

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . With a wisdom , spirit and humanity , becoming a great and free people , the United States' Legislature has taken measures to put down effectually the abominable Slave Trade . An Act of
Congress decrees that every citizen of the United States sailing under any flag , as well as every foreigner sailing under the American flag-, who shall be convicted of carrying it on , shall be visited with Capital Punishment .

EAST INDIES . Accounts have reached England of a late unsuccessful encounter of a detachment of British troops with a tribe of Arabs who are of the sect of the JVechabites ( or Wahabees ) . The grounds of

Since the article on American Unitarianism in the last Number ( p . 309 ) was written , we have received " The Christian Disciple , " published March 9 , 1821 , and find that the Unitarian controversy has been actively kept up in New York .

The congregation at New York have put out a Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Unitarian worship .

Communications have been received from Messrs . Marsom , Probert and R . jVlartin ; and L . H . ; A . B . ; R . F . ; L . L . ; No Grecian ; and an Unitarian . " H . R . has been received .

's account of the Presbyterian Classis in Lancashire is intended for insertion , and the remainder is requested to be sent . A Nonconformist , in reply to V . M . H . ( p . 290 ) , repeats his assertions , and seriously declares that his remarks are founded upon experience and observation ; but he candidly refers it to our discretion to insert or to keep back his letter , and , for obvious reasons , we prefer the latter alternative * .
