ANNUAL REGISTER, j817. 



[Nov. 



the provinces, I was obliged, to 

 my no small regret, to listen to 

 speeches pronounced by certain 

 of the clergy in different jKuts, 

 which contained unbecoming 

 praises of nie ; praises which can 

 only be ascribed unto God : and 

 as I am convinced, in (he depth 

 of my heart, of the Christian 

 truth, that every blessing lloweth 

 unto us through oiu' Lord and 

 Saviour Jesus Christ alone, and 

 that every man, be lie whom he 

 may, without Christ is full only of 

 evil; therefore, to ascribe unto 

 me the glory of deeds in which 

 the hand of God hath been so 

 evidently manifested before the 

 whole worhl, is to give imto men 

 that glory wliich belnngcth unto 

 Almighty God alone. I account 

 it my duty, therefore, to forbid 

 all such unbecoming expressions 

 of praise, and recommend to the 

 holy synod to give instructions to 

 all the diocesan bishops, that tliey 

 themselves, and the clergy under 

 them, may, on similar occasions, 

 in future, refrain from all such 

 expressions of praise, so disagree- 

 able to my ears ; and that they 

 may render unto the Lord of 

 hosts alone thanksgivings for the 

 blessings bestowed iii)on us, and 

 pray for the outpouring of his 

 grace vipon all of us ; conforming 

 tliemselves in this matter to the 

 words of sacred writ, which re- 

 quire us to render to the King 

 Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the 

 only wise God, honour and gloty 

 for ever and ever.

NOVEMBER. 



1. Philadelphia. — We noticed 

 the detention of the brig Ellen a 

 few days ago, on suspicion of in- 

 fringement of neutrality. On 

 Thursday last, the British officers, 

 1 1 in number, who had taken 

 passage in her, and who have sub- 

 sequently avowed their intention 

 of aiding the Patriot cause, Avere 

 brought by writ of habeas corpus 

 before the United States District 

 Court ; eminent counsel appeared 

 in their behalf; and yesterday the 

 court decided that they be fully 

 committed for trial. 



3. Her Majesty, accompanied 

 Ijy the Princess Elizabeth, arrived 

 at Bath, where she took up her 

 lodgings at a spacious house in 

 Sydney-place, and was saluted 

 with a general illumination. The 

 jiurpose of her Majesty's visit is 

 to make trial of the salutary waters 

 of the place.
