I i SR N v By Letters from St. Kitts we have Advice of the ¢ Arrival of the Letter of Mark Ship Britannia, John Smith, from this Place; he fai’d but 38 Days paft; snd that the Ship Sarah, Daniel Robinion is taken and carried into Martinecc, s A ampd Ve o ) e = A ) ) ) From the CHRISTIAN MAGAZINE, for Dec. 1760. An Interview with a Laoy who lay at the Paint of Death, by a Gentleman who attended’ ber till ber Departure. Foun# her feated in the Chair of Sicknefs, in her Chember, with her little Infant lying in her Lap, over which fhe hung with fuch a Look of maternal Fondnefs and Anxiety, as I'yet never faw, and which no Painting could exprefs ! Soon ss I advanced fhe lift- ed up her Eyes, in which ftood the big, the affeftionate Drops ; while pale Death feemed tofit upon her Coun- tenance, wan, yet not devoid of that placid Sweetnels, which ever dwelt upon it. ' “I was indulging, Sir, faid fhe, 2nd I hope not improperly, fome nataral Affeétion, and taking, perhaps takiag —my l:ft Leave, of my poor lictle Babe, who holds my Heart rather tao fat—(lalle end weak Heart as it is) rather tos fait bouad to this tranfitory Scene ! Pretty Innocent ; fee how it {miles on its weepipg Mother ! unconfcious yet of the Bitter- nefls of Grief, and the Sadnels of Tears. Sweet Babe, Imuft leave thee, indeed I muft leave thee ; the Father of Heaven thinks fit, and his Will be done ! Bu: Oh, the Parent, Dear Sir, the Parent will feel: Surely chis will not be deemed a Deficiency in humble Refignati- on!” I qbferved that Chriftianity by no Means oppofes Humanity; and that Grsce doth not deftroy, it only regulates and refines our Affetions. - *“My Soul, fhe went on, . thankfully acquiefes in all the Divine Difpo- fals, and T2m [farisfied, that whatever a God of Lave and Wildom ordains, muft be beft for his Creatures. Bat when I look upon this dear Innocent; when I confider the various Evils of the World, and the Pre- valence of our corrupt Paffions, when I confider the peculiar Incoaveniences of our Sex, if deprived of ma- ternal Care and Inftrution ; my Heart throbs with fen- fible Anxisty —and [ with—Oh Father of Love, pity and pardon me ! Muft I, ah muft I leave this (weet harmlefs one to all the Trials and Difliculties of Life ! Oh my pretty Babe, T muft leave thee ; but I fhall en- truit thee (‘and in that let me take Comfort) entruit thee to a tender Father, and to the Protettion of a Saviour and a God, who careth for his little ones ! Bleffed Savi- our —="" She was here overpowered by the Strength of her Affe@ion; and fell into a fainting Fit ; from which we almoft a prehended fhe would never recover. Her Hofband and her Parents were inilantly called up ; eve- ry Effort was uled to reftore her; though Grief fuffzr- ed no one prefent to utter a Syllable. The Scene was the moft profoundly awful I ever beheld ! At length fhe came to herfelf ; and the firft Objeét fhe faw was her trembling Mother bathed in Tears, .-and hqlding her Clay cold Hand ! on the other Side ftood her Father; at her Feet knelt her amxious and diftreffed Hufbind —sround her feveral of ns were pliced, wnole Tears {uliciently witneffed our Concern. She raifed her languid Eyes ; gazed withtully at us— Then fixing them upon her Mother, “Beft and moft beloved of Parents, (aid the, Farewel, Farewel ; God of his good Mercy reward your tender Care of me, and give usameetlng in the future Worldt Oh my Father, & are you too there ? Pray do not let me fee your Tears : Support my poor Mother, and remember you have a Daughter gone before you to that Place, where all Sor- row ceafes. —But my Hulband —"" She (aid no more; then threw her Arms round his Neck, and both ming led their Tears together for forme Time~She fighed forth -“Beit and moft deareft of Men, let me thankyou, fincerely thank you for all the Marks of your tender Efteem—But be kind to my pretty Babe...Oh why fhould I fay be kind ! I know your Goodnsfs ; but my [weet Innocent; let her....” She ftopt fhort,...But foon went on, “Llictle expected all this Pain at parting ; this is dying ; this is the Bitternels of Death....My dear Friends,” fhé continued addrefling herfelf to all of us around her, “accept my belt Acknowledgements for sll your kind Offices to m= ; if you ever remember me whea I am gone, remember, that my Soul perfettly rejoicedin God's Dealings with me ; and thet however the weaker Paflions of Nature may prevail 5 yetsm wholly refigned to his Will, thankful to him for all ; nay defirous to quit this World, that I may fee my Saviour, the Liord of Love, who gave his Life for'me, and in whofe Merits I joyfully traft for Salvaiion....I am on the Brink of Eternity, and now fee clearly the Tmport- ance of it... Remember, oh Remember, that every Thing in Time is infignificant to. the awful Concerns of,...” Eternity, ths would have faid, but her Breath failed ; '{he fainted a fecond T'ime ; and when all our Labours to recover her, feemed jult effe€tual, and fhe appeared returning to Life, a deep Sob alarmed us —— and the lovely Body was left untenanted by its immortal Inhabitant! - L) Lyt o) L) Lt ) oommad o \omn L#0 N DO "Ny Jsounry 17. There is pethaps no phrale of more important ufe in the tranfaétions of life, than that.of ¢ zaz deferring till 2o morrots, what you can comveniently perform to day,” and which feems more particularly appropriated to their flu@uating and paflive chances who exercife their bufine(s on the fea.” T'his is almoft daily exemplified in the cafe of piffengers being left behind, of tranfa&ions being poftponed on fuppofition of the winds continuing, and other manifeld excufes. There is now an inftance of two Portuguefe veffels that lately loaded in the tiver T hames for Lifbon, the one getting under fail bugt a " all neceflary Charges paid by me, few hours before the other, made her voyege, difcharged her cargo, reloaded and is new in the river agsin, whilit the other has remained wind bound at Plymonch ever fince. An effential picce of fervice might be performed which would do more homour to the pation than fuffering the fhips of war to rot in the harbours, or upon infignificant craizes ; namely an attack vpon the Miifip- pi fettlements. ‘The advantage of which, if fuccefstul, would not only be in the conquzft, but would ftrike fuch = univerfl terror among the Cherokees, and all the reft of the Indisn nations, that they would not prefume to take up the fword againft the Englifh after feeing fuch repeated proofs of their Riength and valour, A boy that attended a -waggon that comes to the windmill inn, was within thefe few days taken from the fame, as being heir to a confiderable eltate and 30,000 1. in ready money.

Amonglt many new and extraordinary projeéts in France for recruiting their army, one is the obliging the Convents, of which there are faid to be fiftedn thouland, to furnifh ane, two, or three men, ac- cording to their refpecliye revenues ; which are to be raifed, and maintained too, till fuch time as they join their refpeive corps. at the expence of thefe com- munities ; but itis toreleen, that this propofal will meet with a violent oppofition fram the body of the clergy, and all that are attached to them. It is now (aid that the Royal coronation will be put oft till Augufl, on account of the courts in Weftminfter- hall being to be taken down to make room for the folemnity. On Thurfday a private centinel in the guards was found fpeechlefs on the ground, by his centry box in the park, but by proper care was bro’t to his fenfes again ; 2nd then he declared that the Devil had appeared ta him, and that he fnapped his piece at him. five times, but it did not difcharge ; this made fuch a deep impreflion on his weak mind, that the poer man is fince dead.
