Both Dr. Wake, and Dr. Dupin. were censured, by the members of their respective communions, for the parts, which they had taken, in this business. Several rigid members of the English Church, and even some foreign protestants, blamed Dr. Wake, for what they termed, his too great concessions. In France, the worst of motives, were imputed to Dr. Dupin, and his associates; they were accused, of making unjustifiable sacrifices, in order to form an union, between the Jansenists, and the members of the English Church. Even the regent, took the alarm: he ordered Dr. Dupin, to discontinue the correspondence, and to leave all the papers, respecting it, with the minister. This was done, but the most important of them, have been printed, in the interesting and extensively circulated publication, which has been mentioned. V. _Miscellaneous Remarks on the Reunion of Christians._ It does not appear, that subsequently to the communications, between Archbishop Wake, and Dr. Dupin, any attempts for a general, or partial reunion of christians, were made in the last century: but, early in the present, _Napoleon_, conceived the project, of effecting, such a reunion. He is said, to have particularly had in view, the catholicizing, as it was termed, the northern part, of Germany. To forward his design, many works were published: one of them, the _Essai sur l'Unité des Cultes_, of M. Bonald, is written, with great ingenuity. That Essay, and several others by the same author, were inserted in the _Ambigu_ of Peltier, and deserve the attention, of every reader. Though they contain some things, to which a Roman Catholic writer, would object, they are evidently written, by a Roman Catholic pen. The first point to be considered, by those, who meditate the project of reunion, is, its practicability--those, who are disposed, to contend for the affirmative, will observe, the number of important articles, of Christian Faith, in which, all Christians, are agreed, and the proportionally small number of those, in which, any Christians disagree. All Christians believe, 1st. That there is one God; 2d. That he is a Being, of infinite perfection; 3d. That he directs all things, by his providence; 4th. That it is our duty to love him, with all our hearts, and our neighbour, as ourselves; 5th. That it is our duty, to repent, of the sins we commit; 6th. That God, pardons the truly penitent; 7th. That there is a future state, of rewards, and punishments, when all mankind shall be judged, according to their works; 8th. That God, sent his Son, into the world, to be its saviour, the author of eternal salvation, to all, that obey him; 9th. That he is the true Messiah; 10th. That he taught, worked miracles, suffered, died, and rose again, as is related in the four gospels;
