.rec2es tliat gently agitated the leaves
[f the forest; and my soul glowed in
larmony and rapture, as I surveyed
ie Oostanalee winding its silent
ourse towards the South, apparently
roud of its strength and value to man,
dio delights to live and labor on its
efreshing banks. I was invited to a
redding on Amuchee creek, six miles
istant, which invitation I accepted,
rossed the river, and, in company
pith a young lady, travelled in a path
2 inches wide through the wilderness.
The spring had already exerted her
iovyer, and spread her rich carpet of
preen, white, red and yellow on the
ace of the earth. These blessings,
re extended for the use and benefit
if the Cherokee Indians, who for ages
iast have lived in ignorance, and de
lation, but now, no longer savages,
e. rising from ignorance to the stand-
•d of moral, intellectual, religious
id political importance. We now
in enjoy landscape scenery, and
freVish the poetical effusions of
hompson as if he had addressed his
Seasons” to us:
* For you the roving spirit of the wind
Blows Spring abroad; for you the teem
ing clouds
Descend in gladsome plenty o^er the
world;
And the sun sheds his kindest rays for
you,
Ye flow’r of human race. In these green-
days
.Reviving sickness lifts her languid head;
Life flows afresh; and youngeyed health
exalts
The whole creation round.”
It was 12 o’clock when we reach-
d the habitation of the Bride’s pa-
ents, consisting of four log cabins,
ith a farm. Here were gathered a
umber of Cherokees, who, through
iy interpretation, heard an instructive
iscourse by the Rev. Greenberry
arreit of the Methodist church, on
lie 24th chapter of Luke, 45th, 46th
nd 47th verses. “ Then opened he
eir understanding, that they might
nderstand the scriptures; and said
nto them, Thus it is written, and
us it behooved Christ to suffer, and
rise from the dead the third day:
nd that repentance and remission of
ins should be preached in his name
mong all nations, beginning at Jerusa-
spj.” At the close of the sermon
The Spirit, a Cherokee who docs
ot speak English, delivered an ad-
ress in support,of the sermon, in a
■Jnasterly and eloquent style. I es-
eembhim the best speaker in this na
bob. He is to his country, what Ci-
ero was to Rome. Prayer and sing
ing were wholly conducted in Chero
kee, and the audiehce, being mostly
full-biooded Cherokees, and of the
(nimbler class in life, afforded a spe
cimen of handsome talent in church
music, and were remarkably neat in
dress, and unexceptionable in deport-
ent.
After a short intermission, and diri-
er, the nuptials were solemnized by
he-minister, and the service was in-
erpreted into Indian by me. They
ere united agreeably to rules pre-
cribed by the Methodist Episcopal
"hurch.
The Bride is a quarter white, pos-
esses a fine figure, somewhat tall,
eautiful complexion, with dark hair
nd eyes: her features bear the evi-
ence of amiability ?nd good nature;
and on the whole she is an interesting
Woman.. She is a member of the
Methodist Church. The Bridegroom,
ft cousin of hiine, is a full blooded In
dian, of Aboriginal deep copper com

but does not possess a handsome face,
though depicted upon it are the marks
of honesty, fidelity and good nature.—
He was dressed in a clean northern
domestic suit, and his bride was in
White cambric. After they were uni
ted, I congratulated them on the mode
they had chosen to celebrate their
(nuptials—that it afforded me pleasure
Ito reflect that we were advancing so
rapidly in civil arid religious improve
ment, as to banish our ignorant habits
and customs, and that we were now
adopting others which were more cre
ditable & decent, & held in esteem by
civilized nations;—that this wedding
would be an example for others to im
itate, and wherever heard of, would
wove to the world, that instead of be-
iqg savages, we were enlightened.
I have been thus particular, to prove
to your white readers, that, instead of
the poorer class of our people being in
servile chains and oppression, under
the influence of Mitchel “Nabobs”
they are in possession of religious and
political freedom and rural happiness.

Intelligence that Russia had actuair

The Russian Government are stated
to have considered the Turkish Mani
festo, which was published here some
time since, as in part, a declaration of
war by the Sublime Porte against
Russia: and it was on that ground, that
hostilities were so confidently expect
ed. It was supposed that the next
advices received at London, would
announce the fact, that the Russian
forces on the Turkish frontier, had

ttussia, down to the period of the
issuing the Ottoman Manifesto, urged
no separate complaints against Turkey
She made common cause with France
& England to arrange the affairs of
Greece. The Ottoman Manifesto is
published, and Russia conceiving her
self separately insulted and defied, re
solves to redress her own wrongs se
parately. She is therefore in alliance
arid she is not—she is, as far as relates
to Greece; she is not, as far as relates
to herself and Turkey.
Great Britain remains an ally to
Franc©and Russia, for the purpose of
emancipating Greece. She does not
enter into the contest between Russia
and Turkey, which is a contest upon
grounds relating exclusively to th se
two countries. She is not an ally of
Turkey—she is not the enemy of Tur
key—but she “ is penetrated with the
necessity of putting an end to the san
guinary struggle” which has been so
long carried on between the Greek
provinces and Turkey.
France occupies precisely the same
position and same ground as this coun
try.—London Courier, March 14.
[From the Moniteur.]
Paris March 13.—The news which
has been received to-day from St. Pe-
tersburgh justifies the apprehensions
which were naturally conceived on
the effect which the Turkish manifes
to would excite in that capital. This
document, by whatever name it may
have been called, has been considered
by the Russian Cabinet as a real dec
laration oi war, with the more reason
as repeated acts of hostility accom-
crossed the Pruth. It was stated that j panied the publication ol it. The
the Ottoman army would wait for the
onset upon the Danube, or between
the two rivers. It is said that though
the greatest harmony prevails be
tween the Allied Powers, Great Bri
tain and France were not expected
to take an active part in the contro
versy between Turkey and Russia/—
But the three powers were det ermin
ed to persevere in adjusting and set
tling the affairs of Greece. It seems
to be firmly resolved upon to place !
the latter upon a secure foundation, in
order that she may be no more subject
to Turkish oppression, injustice, and
barbarity. The Greek Government
have addressed a “Declaration” to
the European Powers, in wdneh they
describe the limits, which in their o-
pinion, ought to he fixed to the nation
of Greece. They think the natural
boundary of the North of Grcce, di
viding it from the adjoining countries,
is traced by the mountains of Thessa
ly on one side, and by the river Vojus-
sa on the other, and its mountains. It
is remarked “that this line formed in
ancient times the true limit of Greece,
properly so called, as it forms at the
present day that of New Greece.”—
The negociations for the deliverance
of Greece, were to be carried on at
the Ionian Islands.
Should Russia engage in open war
with Turkey, the state of things in
Europe will he very singular, and we
should think not a little intricate and
critical. Great Britain, France, and
Russia, are closely allied in adjusting
the affairs of Greece, in her dispute
with Turkey. Out of this interfer
ence will have arisen the war between
Russia and Turkey. Great Britain
and France do not intend, it is said, to
become partners in the wab, but still
mean to prosGcute their undertaking
in regard to Greece. This is a dou
ble sort of game that must be played
with great skill and caution, or all the
concern must be involved in it. If
War is seriously begun, & it is likely
to be protracted for any considerable
period, we can scarcely imagine that
Great Britain and France can stand
by, and not be engaged. Even suc
cess oil the part of the Russians, would
alarm those powers, as well as Aus
tria, all of whom would be unwilling
to see Russia in possession of Constan
tinople, and the rest of Turkey in Eu
rope. Wc should not he surprised,
after the earliest effects of war have
been experienced, to find negociations
renewed, and the whole controversy
settled by the influence 6f Great Bri
tain, France, and Austria.
We believe that the Greek cause is
safe. There is every reason to expect
that thdy will be rescued from Turkish
bondage, and placed in a comparative
ly safe sit uation for the future—prob
ably under the protection of Great
Britain and France.
A Russian officer who arrived in
London, states that throughout Russia,
the feeling against the Turks was so
strong, that the Emperor must com
mence hostilities n'T.ainst them, if he
■wished to maintain his popularity.
Bosphorus entirely closed against nav
igation—Russian vessels confiscated
—the influence of the Porte easily
recognized in ihe rupture of a treaty
which Russia was on the poiru of con
cluding with Pei siu—trie losses sus
tained by Odessa; so many causes of
complaints did not permit Russia a-
gain toreiuse a uenance so boldly of
fered to its power and us moderation.
We must, therefore, expeu shortly
to receive oliicial noin e oi the pas
sage of trie Pi utli riy the Russian ar
my, ana of ihe occupation of trie prin
cipalities. it is atfirmed, that orders
have been given for the army to com
mence its march on the 12th of April.
It is stui dubouit to loresee what may
be the consequent es, with respect to
the tre, ty oi fine 6th of July, of a de-
te; in inatiou which the provocations all
directly proceeding from trie Porte
seem to render more peculiar to Rus
sia. The conferences at Loudon still
continue: the object of them will be to
seek for means to maintain the bond
which the Porte endeavors to break,
and to make the occupation of the
principalities, which it has rendered
inevitable, co-ordinate with the mea
sures which it may appear proper to
take simultaneously on the Mores and
the Archipelago
If this harmony, of which nothing yet
indicates the interruption, should con
tinue to direct the measures taken on
cither side to attaiu the common ob
ject, the tranquility of Europe might
be guaranteed, for it wo’uld be dilfii ult
to believe that the Porte would still
persist in braving the demonstrations
which the European alliances would
render so formidable by its union. This
union is desirable for all parties, espe
cially forlhe Porte. Sensible;at length,
to the danger of its situation, it must,
end by understanding it. We desire this*
The question, both for it and for the
peace of Europe, is to be decided be
tween the Pruth and the Danube.
After the passage of the Pruth, the
Porte, will, doubtless, consider more
attentively the evidence of danger,
and the necessity of its submission, as
well to the proposals of theGth July as
to the condition of the treaty of Aker-
man, which remains to be fulfilled.—
It is upon the banl s of the Danube
that we must wish that satisfaction
may be obtained, for too many com
plicated questions would be met with
by all parties upon the other side of
that river, on the ruins of ihe Ottoman
empire.
The same letters announce, that
the treaty between Persia and Russia
lias not been signed, and that hostilities
were going to recommence.
The Russian army, at the moment
of passing the Pruth, is abundantly
supplied with all necessary resources.
Jin Englishman s description of Neic-
England Fanner's.—The whole coun
try (New-England, United States,)
are going mad about manufactories,
and Water powers, and water privile
ges.—New England, however, does
seem to he admirably fitted for a man
ufacturing, and not for an agricultu
ral nat ion. There is not tntich ftfit-
provement in husbandry here, though
the people have a strange look of prop*
ertv and comfort: and all the rocks*
and riven, and woods of New-England,
are swarming with healthy and happf
children. How they are fed God on*
Iy know s, for not a thousandth part of
the soil is properly cultivated, and it
is a Very difficult thing for a farmer td
sell enough from what is made on bis
farm, or dairy, or poultry yard, to pay
his yearly taxes, which are little or*
notliing. And yet one never saw df
heard of so happy a people. They
are crowded with children—well edu*
cated, w r ell clothed, healthy children--*
with enough to eat and drink: with a
horse or two for every farm, a few
cows, a few- sheep, a few pigs, plenty
of poultry, and two or three yoke of
fine cattle; and so far from feeling
poor, that in nine families out of ten;
they would think no more of a-
doptinga stray child that might come
in their w ay than most people would of
giving it a dinner.
Wages on a farm are one dollar (4s.
6d.) a day, or 12 dollars (12 14s.) a
month the whole year round, or 120
dollars (132 8s.) per year. In all
these cases the laborer is found. 1ft
the haying season lie may earn one
dollar and fifty cents, or Cs 6d. a day*.

ANECDOTE OF MR. WESLEY.
During the voyage of Mr. Wesley
to America, hd hearing an unusual
noise in the cabin of Gen. Oglethorp
(the Governor of Georgia, with when?
he sailed,) stepped in to inquire the
caus: of it, on which the General inw
mediately addressed him; “Mr. Wcs^
ley. you must excuse ine, I have met
with a prpvocation too great for mo
to bear. You know the only wine I
drink is Cyprus wine, as it agrees with
me the best of any; I therefore prtf*
vided myself with several dozens of it*
and this villi an, Grimaldi, (his foreign
servant, who was present, and almost
dead with fear,) has drunk up thd .
whole of it. But I will be revenaed
on him. I have ordered him to he ti*
ed hand and foot, and to be carried to’’
the man of war that sails with us.—
The rascal should have taken care
how he used me^ for I never forgive.' 1
“Then I hope, sir,” said John Wesley^
looking calmly at him, “youneve 'sin.”
The general was quite confounded at'
the reproof, and putting his hand into
his pocket, took out a hunch of keys*
wdiich he threw at Grimaldi, saying*
“There, v iliian, take my keys, and bc^
have better for t.he future.
