We have been obliged to postpone a number of essays which we have received. There will be inserted in our next number an article on Political Economy, and another on Logic, from the pens of two distinguished writers. We have received several communications on the subject of the article inserted in the number for January, on the Declaration of Independence. We shall hereafter furnish further particulars, in regard to the life and writings of Mr. Wirt.

In our last number, p. 44, the Chauncy referred to was not the writer on Universalism opposed to the Rev. Pres. Edwards, of Schenectady, but the clergyman of Boston, who was the opponent of Whitefield. On page 96, near the top, invoking should be involving, and page 97, near the top, dilated should be diluted.

In the present number, p. 233, it should read "the statue of Chantrey," instead of Canova.
