Homerton , Sir September 20 , 1824-THIS day I have received a lettetf from Mr . Haldane , which puts me under an obligatipa to request ineertion for a few sentences from it ; otherwise one of my former communications ( p . 476 ) will be likely to
produce an impression , which I am most happy to find wo ^ ild be erroneous , with regard to the Council of State of the Republic of Geneva , and the Honourable Functionaries of that
Government . J . t > YE SMITH . —— "I trouble you with this
lefrter , to notice a mistake in your statement ; , which it will bfc well to rectify ; because it contains an accusation

against the Government thete , for which there Is no ground . During all the time I resided &t Geneva , the Go * vernraent never * in the smallest de * gree , offered any interference with
me , either public or private . * - * You ate perfectly correct in asserting that there was no previously-concerted plan of attack on the clergy of Geneva , as M . Chenevi&re has affirmed . —When
I wfcnt abroad , I knew of no one who Was going to travel with the same intention . For many years before ^ I had felt a strong desire to visit France , \ vith the design of being of some use there , if possible , in the diffusion of the gospel . When peace came , I in
Consequence went to the Continent , having no other object in view ; for I had formerly travelled there as much as I was inclined , to satisfy curiosity . —So fat \ Vas itiy jotiriley from being undertaken in eJohsequence of a plaii concerted with others , that- when I
undertook it , I knew not where I should go . I Tiad met with no one \ Vlio could give me any information respecting the religious state of France . I was not acquainted with a single person on the Continent ; nor had I
an introduction to any one .- —The openings for usefulness , that presented themselves in various quarters , were truly remarkable , and entirely unforeseen by uie . "
