been long oppressed, their opening prospects were darkened by the fierce contentions of two rival factions, which, headed by Petion and Christophe, eagerly sought each others downfall. But, when invasion was threatened by the power which, for years, had ruled them with a rod of iron, they nobly declared, that "they would forget their mutual differences, and lose sight of every party feeling, and with one hand and one heart, concentrate all their energies against the common foe." Let the Church of England, at the present crisis, imitate this wise and welltimed example, and consigning terms of reproach, and names of party, to the tomb of all the Capulets, let her Clergy come forth to the battle, united by the triple band of "faith, and hope, and charity," to resist the triple alliance in array against her, " THE World, the flesh,

AND THE Devil.”

Believe me to remain,

With cordial esteem, and much affection,

Ever yours,

Canterbury,

June 22, 1830.
