London. . . Dec. 10 . . . It is very remarkable that the
bench of Bishops have observed a perfect taciturnity on the
present prospect of peace.  While war was the topic, their
reverences blew the long trumpet of Moses as loudly as if
they had been under the walls of Jerico; but the
independence of America deprives them of a land of promise. 
Philadelphia is no longer considered as a new Jerusalem.  No
hierarchy.  No Episcopacy to be established there.
