CORRESPONDENCE.

We are authorized to inform our readers, that the expression which we censured in reviewing the Rev. Robert Baynes's Discourses adapted to a Naval Audience. (Vol. IV. p. 241.) and which tended considerably to lower our commendation of his respectable work, was an inadvertence which he regrets, and did not truly represent his sentiments on the important doctrine of expiation for sin.

The communication of Verar is received and will be duly considered; he might exone rate us of some trouble if he would authenticate it by the disclosure of his name.

In auswer to Amicus, we observe, that the strictures in certain works, to which he a ludes, afford obvious and ample evidence for their own refutation.
