CONGRESS. c
Fifry-one mferobers of the House of Re-
prefentatives took their feats—not being a
quorum, they adjourned till to-morrow.
Mr. Marsmali., one of the three extra w
envoys from the United States to France,
is Rated in a letter from Havre de Grace of
23d September, to have arrived at Am- < ~
fterdam. "In 2or 3 days he will arrive at 1 '
• Paris, together with Mr. Pinckney."

" The cnnfticution of the ♦hird year" was the 31
rallying point of the triumvirate in France and 2.
yet the authors and fupportern of that conflitUtion th
are proscribed and banifhid.
The cenftituttpn prohibits the armies fisom deli
berating on political fuhjefls—and the Trinm- P e
vin attribute their/vecefs agiird the author* aind co
friends of the constitution to the deliberations tftht wi
armiei. an
The constitution declares the invioiAßiLif v of crl
the persons of th« .representatives,; apd .yet the i(
Triumviri have proscribed and hanilhcd upwards f
of fifty of the representatives of- the foveieig-n
people, -without trial. CX
There were thirty-fix Newspapers printed in Gi
Paris previous to the late political Tornado—Thir- q
ty-two were fupprelTed by tfce Triumvirs, and
the Printers proscribed and banished—sour cou- eOl
tinue to be puMifhed—all of which are Uid to be
edited by foreigners. By this it would appear that T>
the citizens of Paris ate oppolcd to the direiftory ma
in a ratio of more than eight to one. The truth j t ]
however can hardly be known .while the bayonet
continues to give law. ve '
The apathy with which tie puplt of France ap- "in
p»ar to view the recent ufurpationi, and the over- Pri
throw of the conflitution, fuffiaiently evinces the
horrid condition of the country. Handed, during Q
fix years, from one mad faction to another, —
from Marat to Robespierre, mil from Robefpierr*
to Rewbel, —ttripped of their pofTcffions by enor
mous requisitions, they folly realize that no change
of circumftaaces can deteriorate their condition.
The enthusiastic fervor which has led them thro' Bri
death and carnage, has evaporated, and left behind
the lees of tyifcry and dcfpaii*. Awakened from
their dreams of liberty and their fantaflic concep
tions of equality, they behold their religion taken Sch
from them, their privileges aboliflied, and their
property wrested from their hands. 11 Madness
has brought them to the-gates of Hell, —and there , .
has left them." Shi

Mr. Finno.
Your pnhlifhing the following British Review Bri
of a pamphlet, which well deserves the perusal Sch
of every ferioui and candid inquirer after religi- (
ous truth, will, 1 am confident be plcafing to f ror
many of your readers.
The dangerous and unfcriptural doftrines
which the author so ably refutes, are, it is tq
be feared, rapidly extending their malignant in
fluence among us ; and therefor* every truly
; valuable effort to check their progress, and ex
pose their fallacy, merits general attention. As
luch Dr. Wharton's publication has jufily been
eonfidcred by the reviewers, and being the pro
<hi£liOn of American pen, it will, 1 trust, , .
meet with as favorable a reception here, as it i!' 'g
has in Europe. Yours, Lor

[ Philadelphia : Ormrod & Cnnrad. 1796.3
This pamphlet appears to have been writ- « ,
• ten and pubiifhed in the year 1791 ; but on l e%v
account of Dr. Priestley's arrival in' Ame- time
rica, and preaching the firft open an 3 avow- N(
* ed deface of the Unitarian system ever put
; licly delivered in that city, it is now re-pub-' "
w,th a preface, containing fnme re
| marks on that discourse. Dr. W. states the.'
serious alarm it had occasioned among " the
=4r P rofc{r ° r ' of th e ancient doarines refpeft
ing Jesus Christ, and ialvation thro' him,"
[pub- anc ' • , ft" ur es Dr. P. that however ready tliey
may be to facrifice theirprejudices torevealed 1
Lan- t ru tn» yet conceiving their only solid foun- 1
'heat a,1 . 0n ' f° r prefent.tranquility and future
for- r^ tri^u tion," to be, " the consolatory tenet
liam of atonement," they cannot yield d
up their present system of faith «to any •'
>wn- ''""g ftiort of unanswerable arguments, and
Dbls. 1 e m °ft luminous convidlion.' '
ld 7 1 ~D . r ,P' a flirts, "that Christianity, be- ra
:hias flde bein g proved to be true, must be Siewn 3
to be rattona'." But with Dr. W. the
lart, flm P ,e question is, « are these do'ariges
uan- commumc ated to us by divine revelation, or
left- are the .y not ? The reasonableness of this m
1 revelation is not to be proved or examined,
nty, oeeaufe revelation implies information of ut
:wt. J or " et hing > which reason cannot difcoyer ; no
7 ] b . , ancT therefore must bf different from all the j ei
do dedudions of reason." If christianity con
;ar. ; ta,n nothing but what lies within the reach P e
cts. ! of human reason, why was revelation at all lf
40 to man ? or why is it said to brbi ~
life and immortality to light ? Why does St-
Paul tell Timothy that great is the mystery fro
of godliness? Where was the need of.
hip Christ's laborious life, unparalleled fufFjr- L
led in Sf. and ignominioift death, to fanftion 0 .
lb. P lnl ons, to introduce a system of morals, !
qr., which reason alone could eftahlifh ? '
Having thus stated the question, and
:af- d^ avore d to shew that the mere reformation
of human morals could not be the grand
irn- n of Christianity, Dr. W. leads us to r 1
ei- enquiry on the ground of scripture and c l°i
a- an, ;q»ity. - mt
After the utmost, and apparently the PI"
ip, m °ft fmccre profeflioas of candor, and even I"' 1
ft- veneration for Dr. Prieftly'j charaaer as a ob j c
lan Philosopher and a man of letters, Dr. W. X
,Is. a <h«rt abftraa of the doarine of the Z"
i'i new_Teftament refptaing Christ, in a pro- has'
ed Rreluve ordec—lliewing that our Lord Jirft the
rid taught his diciplcs to conceive of him as a P r£ f
prophet, the promised messiah—and then mik
p, gradually led them on, to the higher parts *7]
ed of his charaaer, and to the fublimer truths gi '"
of Christianity, as they were able to bear his £'l
b. mftruaions. So the Apostles with like y
cantion and prudence began with the firß crue
n _ principles of Christianity, and led their con- , E
| g< verts on gradually to perfeaion. To this
■e- evidence Dr. W. subjoins the usual proofs '" va
from the Aas of the Apostles, and the Re-
of St. John, that the firft Chris- refoi
tians aauallr worfhtpped Jesus Christ. ! of v
la the next place Dr. W. appeals to the fnc n
early ecclesiastical writers, viz. Hegifippus, iu
t . Clemens Romauus, Ireneus, Ignatius, an >"
a Poly-carp, and Juftin Martyr ; particular- £, rod ,
Iy the latter : but the passages have been so
often cited that we forbear to copy them : Ung
. a we (hall however tranferibe a few remarka- colou
;> hie cxtraas from early Pagan writerg, which have
strongly corroborate the aflertion that Jcfu» the e
Christ wis worfhippfd by the firft believers. the 0
t 1. Pliny afferts,that, "the Christians met l"!'
before daylight to address therafelves in a tne p
form qf prayer to Christ, [so Dr. W. tranf. fcoloi
e lates carmenque Chrijli] ,a« to some God." pies,
d 2. Antoninus Pius, in an Edia diVeded to
n the Stares of Aiia, fays of the fame Chris- Ofl
tians, "It is more f or them to bo Fr . enc
J permuted and die for their Gad, than to mi,rc(:
i continue in life." 3. Lucian charges them h""' '
, with " rejeaing the Gods of the Greeks,
and, rvorfhipping only that deceiver who was
. crucified." 4. Porphyry confefles, that,
,1 " si nce Jesus (whom he tlfewhere calls the ! J
, dead God) has been worshipped, no one has
experienced public affiitance from the 'n . T
1 Gods." Lastly. Julian reproaches the '1
j Christians " for worshipping two Gods,
contrary to the exprefs command of Moses." f a
Upon the whole we consider this as a •!
Traa, which does honor to the author, and W \
may be very seasonable in Philadelphia. If P
it has any blemishes, they are such as ard
very uncommon among polemic writers, jrtiVfc ' S
—an excessive candour, and extravagant a 7 tCni
