Prom tbe Am. Pastor’s Journal, “I HAVE A HOPE SIR/” Furnished by a Clergyman. There is a man in ray congregation who has for several years been wish ing lo unite with the church. He is what the world would denominate a good moral man, and a useful member of Society. He is constant in his at tendance upon the public worship of God, and is often moved to tears by the faithful exhibition of truth. In conversation with him some time since upon the subject of personal pi ety, I inquired, have you reason to think that you are the subject of that great moral change denominated the new birth, which you acknowledge to be necessary to constitute a real Christian? His reply was, “I have a h'pe, Sir.” Well, a good hope will bear to be examined, and will be ev idenced by its appropriate fruits. Do y hi, then love the character of God? ‘1 think I do.” And why? “He is so good. ,i Do you love his require ments? “Why—yes l think so.”— And if you love them, you will so far tis you know them, endeavor to yield obedience. Is this the fact? “Why we don't any of us obey God perfect ly. The best, offend in many things, and in all come short.” Well, Sir to take hut one, do you love the duty of prayer} “1 do not live without pray ing, I assure you.” Do you pray in y our family'? “I do not.” Do you think that family worship is a Chris tian duty? “0 Certainly.” How- then do you get along with your hope if it lets you live in the daily neglect of an acknowledged Christian duty?— “1 pray that God would forgive me.” Then you acknowledge this neglect i9 ■wrong? “Yes, Sir” Well then let us see how such a prayer would ap pear, offered to God. You come, and say, “for not praying in my family yes terday, O Lord forgive me.” Are* you really sorry? “I am.” Do you not intend praying in your family to day? “No.” To-morrow? “I do not think I shall.” Do you not intend performing this duty at all? “No.” Now, Sir, said I, how does such a prayer sound? You come and pray that God would forgive you for not performing what you acknowledge to be your duty; and yet you determine to live at present, and in future, in the same neglect for which you profess to be sorry! Look at it, my dear sir, and then let conscience decide how much confidence you ought to place upon a hope that is no better support ed by evidence. Such was the substance of the con versation. O, how many such hopes will the light of eternity disclose, to tbe everlasting undoing of deluded souls! RECOLLECTIONS OF CICERO. “0, but to die, and go we know not where I” There w r as always something affect ing to me in the manner in which this great man was wont to talk of the im mortality of the soul. He seemed to have looked forw-ard with that vehe ment desire to penetrate the future, with that intense longing after a know ledge of what should be beyond the present life, which Gray expresses in his poem on the grave: “0 that some courteous ghost would blah it out, What ’tis you are and we must shortly bet” Did the mind perish, like the blaze of an extinguished taper? Did thought and passion die? Did genius sleep for «ver? Was there no hereafter? Was all beyond this narrow sea of trouble tdaalc nonentity and stark oblivion, where rirtoe, and friendship, ind glo ry, and ail that we have loied, or sighed for, or toiled after here, pos sessed not even a shadow cr a name? No! he exclaims, I will not t ink it. “Si in hoc, erro, quod animos.. itfnin- um immortales esse credo, 1 benter erro,”—if I am deceived in th i, that I believe the souls of men to le im mortal, I am. willingly deceived; nor let the illusion, which I so mile* love to cherish, be taken from me v While I live; “nee mih; hunc erroretn quo delector, dum vivo, extorqueri vhlo,” I never see Voltaire and Paine, afid all infidels, in so odious a light as wliek I contemplate such a man as Cicert^ straining after a gleam of that light,' from the full blaze of which they vol untarily turned away; and I see their folly aggravated by the reflection, that while the orator, with all his anxious reasonings, could only attain to earnest hope, rather than calm belief, they, with all their wicked sophistry, could never banish conviction from their minds. Both experienced the painful ness of doubt; hut in him it sprung from the lofty principle ofliope, and the untaught conscious of a noble na ture; while in them it was the sting of conscience, and the baseborn principle of guilty fear.—Ch. Spec. NEW KCHOTAi WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10, 1829. A Savannah paper, speaking on the Mes sage of the principal Chiefs of the Chero kee Nation, has the following wor<|s: “In turn, the state of Georgia asl«, upoi what principle of Natural Fight it is, tha: the Indian claims to hold immense todies of Forest land, which manifestly hd cannot cultivate?

Presidential Election.—It is now certain that Gen. Jackson is elected President of the United States, by a large majority, probably between 80 and 90 votes. The Jackson ticket in the Slates of Ohio, Ken tucky and Indiana has prevailed. ©cSV O’GW O’fi DCV.a b©.ie»s> tjw<* b- ®fiT. iC A iJjy aup R.S O’d'T WI TT. CPBtKX I-4T DM.

The Em- K iror Nicholas wishes to blockade the ai'danellcs, to help him forward in his controversy on the other quarter. If his allies assent to this, as far as we can see, they will immediately be con sidered by the Sublime Porte as par ties to the war between him and ussia. In that event, it is difficult see how Austria can stand by, and it take sides in the general uproar. Her interests must be against the po- liA of Russia, and if so, it would seem Mai sne must espouse the cause of ^uicey; which, to all hman appear ance would be the onset to a general war.j Pfe situation of Ireland becomes morehnd more important every day.

A serious tumult in Ireland, would find employ ment forthe British government near er home than the Levant, and that of all extremely disagreeable nature. At the same time Portugal is dis tracted: the throne is in the hands of an usurper, the legitimate Queen has taken refuge in England, and the pres ent nominal government has been for mally disowned by all the great pow ers of Europe. If a serious attempt should be made, under the name and authority of Don Pedro, of Brazil, to dethrone Miguel, and reinstate the young Queen, Great Britain must probably lend her aid to the legitimate sovereign, and send troops to put down the usurper. In short, turn which way we will, there seem to be combustibles enough in almost every quarter, ifonce touch ed, to kindle a general flame through out the continent. If once begun, no man can tell when or where it will end. ed?‘V Hi o*A sspe Tap, b®.re>s 61T i£ *5Aay DJrd* Din)*,®.

We very much doubt whether the affairs of Europe were ever placed in a more singular, or a more critical situation, than they are at the present moment; and it would seem as if a sin gle step out of the present track of policy, by any one of the principal powers, might easily involve the con tinent in a general war. Russia is fight ing the Turks single-handed, in Asia as well as in Europe. General Pask- ewitch at the last accounts, was mak ing rapid progress in Asia, and bid fair to subdue and take possession of the important stations and places in that region. In Europe, the Emperor has found more serious difficulties to en counter, and his progress has been checked, and his forces held at bay, by the strong posts and garrisons at Shumla and Varna; and it was consid ered doubtful whether he would be able to surmount these difficulties the present season. If either or both these fejtre8ses are taken this year, it will probably be by storm, when it would not be strange if the terrible scenes formerly exhibited at Ismail, should' again he realized. On the other quarter of the Turhish dominions, the strange spectacle is displayed, of a combined warfare by British, French, and Russian fleets, operating against the Turkish, so fa* as it relates to the Grecian insurrection* As far as this New York, November 14. We are anxious to hear from Eng land of the meeting of Parliament, and to see the King’s speech on. that occa sion. There are three points on which the sentiments of that government at the present time will be very interest ing. Those are the state of Ireland and the Catholic Claims—the War between Russia and Turkey, and the state of Greece—-and the affairs of Portugal. If it should appear that Great Brit ain and France, for we presume they go together on the subject, shall be satisfied with the state of things be tween themselves and Russia, there" is no room to doubt that Russia will bring all her power to bear on that controversy, in which case it will be strange, indeed, if the Turks are not in the end subdued. If, however, those two combined powers shall re fuse to admit of the blockade of the Dardanelles, and shall begin to show signs of uneasiness towards the war fare between Russia and Turkey, the probability, in our judgment, is that it will briig about a peace, or terminate in a murh more extensive war. In the lat'er event, much as we may de plore We miseries W'hich it must bring upon (hose immediately involved in it, its remoter consequences may he ad- vantigeouus to this count ry. A general wa; in Eurora, almost invariably pro duces a neCTssity for supplies; and With all the advantages which our commercial citizens possess for fur nishing them in almost any quantities, it can hardly fail to be the fact that our country-men will partake in the benefits of such a trade. The questions in which Ireland is concerned with the government of the country, have no immediate bear ing, that we are aware of, upon our commercial or political interests.— Upon their abstract merits,livery per son will form his own conclusions.— To the people of the United Slates, where all religions are tolerated, it seems strange that any fears can be entertained in Great Britain, from the introduction of the same liberality, in to that country. As a matter of ex pediency, we sheuld think there would be a great diversity of opinion even there.* As a matter of strict princi ple, men may he supposed likely to entertain different views upon the sub ject. As it regards Portugal, if the Gov ernment of Great Britain acknowl edge the young Queen, formally, as the sovereign of that country, we do not see but they must espouse her cause.—lb. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. By the Sylvanus Jenkins, Captain Allyn, which arrived on Saturday Morning, we have received Liverpool papers to October 11th, London to the 10th, Lloyd’s and shipping Lists to the 9th) and a commercial letter of the 11th. England and Russia.—The British government have acknowledged the Russian Blockade of the Dardenolles, which extends only to the exclusion of provisions and the contraband of war. Russia and Turkey.—We find no positive accounts of any event of im portance having occurred between the belligerents since the last arrival; though it is reported in general terms under n vinnnn dnte. llinl fho Ruosiano were retiring from Choumla. The accounts of several actions be fore that, place which are detailed in our English papers, from Turkish sources, relate to the sorties made by the garrison in August, the particu lars of which have been before pub lished. They are not so late by a week or two as the dates we have before given from that important point. The last letters received at Frank fort from Belgrade, announce the ar rival of the Grand Vizier, at Choumla, at the head of 40,000 men, which raises the main Turkish army to an effective strength of 100,000 combat ants. The last despatches from Odessa and London, had occasioned at Vienna several meetings of the Council. Di plomatic relations with England were very active. The Journal des debats says the Russian army has not hitherto fulfilled (lie expectations which Europe had formed from its numbers, its discipline, its courage, and the experience, the talents, and the valor of its Chiefs.— All its efforts are at present directed against the second rate fortress of Varna, which continued its resistance on the 13th of September, and if it should fall, will cost its assailants as many live9 as it contained defenders. There appears to he now no pros pect of the Russian making any fur* tlier progress this campaign; and from the aspect of affairs there is reason to regard the report of their retiring from Choumla as not very improbable. Some of the accounts assure us that the acquisition of Varna would prove of little importance now, as the Black Sea is hardly navigable so late; though if captured at first, it would have served as a most valuable depot, whence the fleet might have carried supplies to the army in its advance.— Now, it would be an act of unwarrant able temerity in the Emperor, to risk an army in the interior of the country, without such support, and with such powerful bodies of the enemy in his rear. It is declared by correspondents at Constantinople, that the standard of Mahomet will not be displayed, as the people come forward with sufficient alacrity. France.—The Paris papers state that the remaining part of the Expe dition for the Morea was about to sail, and that the troops, after obtaining possession of the fortresses, would give them into the hands of the Greeks, and return home. It is also pretty plainly intimated by them, that fee French cabinet in cline to a more cautious policy with regard to fee affairs of the Archipela go and the east; and that, having per formed thejr part in the execution of the Treaty of July, 1827, they design to withhold from any thing that may expose them to become involved with Russia or Turkey. Portugal.— Affairsappenr to remain at a low ebb at Lisbon. Further in dignities have been offered to British subjects, and even the Consul.

WILD MAN. Nuremburg, July 30, 1828. The attention of our philosophical public has been directed for some weeks past, to the investigation of a very extraordinary phenomenon, which unless the whole be an imposture, may prove important in the investigation of mind. About a month ago there ap peared in this city a young man of a- bout twenty years of age, well propor tioned, and of a healthy complexion; he seemed, however, to walk with dif ficulty, his knees appearing stiff, f and quite unused 4o mounting- steps. He was poorly dressed, and carried a letter with him, in which a wish was expressed that he might be enlisted a- mong the cavalry. His knowledge of the world seemed extremely limited, and he spoke and understood but very few words. From what has been col lected from him, it seems that he had been shut up in one room, about six feet high, from his iifaney, during which time he never saw but one hu man being—a man who brought him his provisions, and whom he called his i father. He. was kept very cleaq, and had two little wooden horses to pluy with; but was beaten with a stick whenever he attempted to stand up right. There was a window to the room, from which every prospect wg» debarred by a pile of wood placed close before it; and the situation of the room seems to have been such a,s to exclude sound as well as sight.— From this confinement he was at last released by his keeper, who, after a foot journey of two days, brought him to the gates of this city, where he gave him the Letter, and enjoining him to enter, left him. He has now learnt many new words and things; the for mer of which arc easily distinguished from his pronouncing them differently from those of hi* original stock; nnfl
