    rately transmitted across the . Atlantic , yet , being accumulated and embodied by their connexion with an object of so much importance as the Repository , they may possess sufficient reflected interest and borrowed weight

    to deserve your notice . Perhaps yourself and contributors may uot be destitute of curiosity to learn the continued judgment of a stranger respecting your intellectual efforts ; on the supposition , I mean , that you find him endued with any of the qualifications requisite for his assumed office . How far it would conduce to

    the improvement and good regulation of any magazine to contain within its own pages a department of the kind proposed , I leave to your skill and experience , as an editor , to determine . Should you approve of the plan , and be dissatisfied with the execution of

    the specimens I now forward you , I hope you will engage some of your accomplished friends and fellovv-subjects to fulfil my project to your better acceptance * In the mean time , I shall , for my own amusement and Improvement , continue my pleasant task in the manner I have commenced

    it , and should I find that my advances have been received , I shall gladly submit my little labours in this way to your future disposal . Unless I am mistaken , the destiny of the Monthly Repository is yet to be loftier and happier by far than that of any other existing" periodical . Its exact

    adaptation to the liberal and expanding spirit of the age , its freedom from paltry and sectarian pledges , the unwearied homage which it always and every where pays to truth , and th $ unrivalled iipport ^ nce of the subj ects to which it is generally devoted , will unquestionably cause it to remain a consecrated arena for the exercises

    and encounters of strong and thinking minds , and a favourite publication with all those readers who are anxious for satisfactory views iq matters the most intimately connected with human

    happiness . With these prophetic expectations as to the splendid destination of your journal , you will not wonder that I have ^ U ^ mpted to become one of its regular contributory , and sought some rilode by which to

    [ Some of eur readers may suspect a stratagem in this communication , but we assure them that it is the genuine production of an Amerieaa correspondent , of which indeed the internal ^ evidence will be abundant . The writeF is known to us , aad his

    name , were we at liberty to publish it , Would give weight to his strictures ., We cannot help feeling a little pleasure ( the reader will pardon us !) ia our Transatlantic correspondent ' s flattering estimate of our humble labours . He is a candid but not blind critic , and we and our coadjutors may read his animadversions with a better

    feeling than curiosity , and derive some improvement from the calm observations of a wise and friendly Lookeron . Ed . ] Monthly Repository for Jan .. 1824 . Ckenemire ^ s Defence of the Genevan Church . This is perhaps drawn up with a little too much acerbity . There is no doubt that the liberal

    divines of Geneva have had enough to provoke them , but their apologist has scarcely performed his task with sufficient dignity . After all , it will be difficult for English and American Unitarians to enter with perfect sympathy into the feelings of their injured Genevan brethren . Our notions of

    church-government partake so much of independence , that we eaa scarcely help revolting at seeing even a fiery Calvinist dragged before a human tribunal for proclaiming his opinions in ever so offensive a form . However , in judging * of the merits of this case , we must recollect the state of society at Geneva , and the notions and

    habits in which both parties have beea educated . As far as we can trust this ex pqrte testimony , M . Cheneviere has made out his case very clearly , and shewn that much moderation , forbearance , and propriety , have been exhibited by the Genevan Consistory .
