Dr. Chandler hath confessed that he cannot answer Mr. Lowman; and if he cannot, who can? Mr. Lowman was born in London in 1679. He was originally intended for the bar; but soon abandoning all thoughts of that profession, he went to Holland in 1699, and pursued his studies for the Christian ministry at Utrecht and Leyden.

Mr. Lowman was one of the contributors to the valuable religious periodical called the Occasional Paper, set on foot by the leading Presbyterian ministers of London in 1716; and which deserves notice, not merely f

Mirepoix, in reply, was willing that both the French and English should retire from the country between the Ohio and the Alleghanies, and leave that territory neutral, which would have secured to his sovereign all the country north and west of the Ohio.

In the states general, Zealand and Utrecht consented: the province of Holland objected, that a commercial state should never but from necessity become involved in any quarrel. Baron van der Capellen tot den Pol, one of the nobles of Overyssell, the Gracchus of the Dutch republic, protested against the measure on principles which were to increase in strength, and to influence the impending revolution in Europe.
