and often reviewed opinion, that this rapid
tnereafe of impiety, profligacy, and vice, has
been principally owing to an enthusiastic at
tachment, in multitudes of people in this
country, to the revolution and cause of the
French. This ..attachment has given an
easy introduait n to the atheistic, infidel, and
immoral principles of that people. With ma
ny it hai given a faaaion to these princi

matioD. It has given a currency to the
books in which these principles are taught.
It has invited among us thousands ofthofe
who had already reduced these principles
! to pra&ice, and whose example has been
mott pernicieus. It has induced thousands
who secretly held these principles to pro
fefs them openly 5 and thousands more who
wished to find them true, to consider them
as proved to be true, by the wisdom and
practice of a great nation. It has induced
even many persons of profrjional religion,
and some, I daubt not, of real religion, to
extenuate, and palliate, and excuse the aw

NOTORIOUS PROFLIGACY.
John Wheeler, lately convicted of biga

graced the records of the Old Bailey, but the
Ton of Dr. Wheeler, of South-street, Grof
venor-fquare, who gave him an education
to which the tenor- oi his life has been an u
inform disgrace.
While a rtudent at Oxford, in December
1776, he married a very honorable young
lady, Miss Mary by whom he had
a beautiful daughter. He was then only 19
years of age, and his wife np more than 16.
After using this young creature in a most in
human manner, he entered into the navy,
where his friends procured him a commission
in the marines, but occasionally returned,
and perfecting her and her mother, by law
suits and a variety of pra&ices, extorted
from that family upwards of 8001. and oblig
his wife to take refuge under a different
name, to avoid being farther plundered, and
even murdered, as he had often threatened.
