LONDON. November 20.

We hear that Wesley, and of the difference which has appeared in their Doctrines for above these twenty years, being at length discovered by them to be about mere non-essentials in religion, they are going to accommodate matters between them, and to enter into a perfect agreement for the future; and that their preachers are to assist each other at their respective places of worship, as occasion requires; so that the Tabernacle and Foundry are no longer to be considered as two distinct places, but as one. And it is thought they will find it very hard to persuade their people to be of the same mind with themselves, notwithstanding it has been much laboured at by them of late.
