The famous preacher, Wesley, may be now ranked among the pensioned hirelings of the court, and has been busily employed in some parts of Yorkshire very lately, putting forth his pious political tenets, which are so congenial to his brothers of the dark robe, that the established churches in many places have been laid open to him. At Bingley and Halifax, this has been the case, and in his sermons he repeatedly exhorted his disciples to purchase a little fourpenny book, which he calls a true state or account of the war in America, an extract from the pamphlets and evidence of the famous Mr. Galloway, than which nothing can be more fraught with misrepresentation and falsehood.
