Of its contents we are not informed ; but as the Com- missioners are said to be unanimous, we infer that they have not re- commended any grant out of the general revenue of the country. We think it very unlikely that the whole Commissioners would have agreed to such a proposition. The grant, therefore, if there be one, will pro- bably be from funds to which the Kirk has some real or pretended claim —but the secret will soon be known.—Scatsmare.
