. •ju ■■ of a Discourse delivered lh’ iff Sunday in /tpril 1805. In 1/. , tcrior of Georgia by a Baptijl toir.fhr. Concluded. fi-Tijnily, it benefits, chiifly, the n -ft ffnpitrtant part of nur race—the ri r iifrn ion. Instances do, indeed, O' n ■ml then, occur, as by a miracle, of reformation, and irrprovnment, in a frnj!i degree, among those arrived at maturity, ar.d even further advanced in .'if ; but ifwUhould serve our genera tion in the nt:a! manner, and to [ ti r pnati ft decree of which we are capa- 1 f , v.e rt **i c”r attention rnoft'y to f who are decile and improvable.— / I', a: riii ftfans, scholars, miniilcrs, and fir wards of wraith, we would reap copi- | onfly we mutt fi.w the feeds < f truth and , Virtue, liberally in youthful minds.— This is the method which has always I’ ri’ fi urtd troll fuccttsful in producing ciu.lians, end aritig relations, worthy ctir ns, tifelul tTunifters, able defenders *. .nil y of tlitir country’s rights, and in: gift rates an honor to their (flirt*. Third'y, A college pt.ff. lies apt rr* a <1 aeconjpiifhing its ends. It j 3 fined c. i.tu dy to those concerned, imrnr- ; diatcly, in its support ; in a healthy re- j ( on j contiguous to a fountain of pure j water, t , loine commanding e .intqce. | 1 rc, with 1 ommodious apartments for, fiudents, and every proper accommoda- ! t on, are able au<l dignified inllruftora in ; all rite moft important branches of know- j ledge. L : dei’ tneir direction, youth are i gently guided in their literary pursuits, j from the rudiments, into all the high beauties, and elegancies of education.— j They have access to a Library that con tains tiie molt celebrated works of the Antier.ts, and the Modems, in different languages, and the use of Apparatus for making various experiments. Fourthly, A college, from remote antiquity, lias had a high reputation, a mong all parti, sos men diftinguiftud by many fpecie* of txcellcnce. And thin is a hdt so notorious, that niltcad of taking time to name those pa< tits. and to ad duce inilances of their coincidents, and liberality, i.i (upporting literary inllitu* tions, 1 ihall jull obkrve, that 1 do not recollect a tin, !e inllance of oppofiiion, ir iud.ffereiice to ftich inllitutiuns, but from the fliamcfid’y Liberate or from Dtlpota. ‘l'lie f-i tner are naturally a vii o t > light, as expoling their ignorance and the latter bee,ink it diminilhes th ir power. That such cbaradlers ihould he enemies to a college is not 11 rang< a 1 lolled.i on the lrdilution an honor a!* moll as diftinguiftud as that which it derives from the a lchrity aud mown oi it friends. It follows. Fifth’)’, ‘1 hat a college has a moil benign rll Pi on free government I, lit and liberty, ) Ice darkness and del* potlfm, ate congenial, and never long ex ill in a Hate of Ip ration. Igtioranct 11. kar, anil their issue, are the onl) props of a dtfpotic thioue. Knowledge p 11riotic love, aud tlieir fair offspring, Support tl.c government of a fiee peo ple. kis well known, that general, am gri k ignorance, is iueonfiftent with civi liberty. Universal rxperience tffures us, that whenever free tneii 1 offer learning to bi cot.lined to a ftw ot their number (and ; few will always have it) their rights, however dear bought, and precious, wd foon be torn him them by fome dating Uiurper, or tamely riligned to a vaiaci ous Aril!ocraey. And, when once the) lose the privinge of reviving, and <xter ding, the interellsof literature, they ant! then poftcrity, without the iuterpofiti <n of a ipecial providence, will be bound for ever m chains of darkness. But, “ Let there be light,” and Liberty will be k** cure. Sixthly, A college is founded on the part of religion of nature Nature itfclf glimmering as its light is, leads us to use the bell means in our power to piomote the happinefa of our children. We cannot but observe, that they arc in quilitive, imitative, and improvrable creatures. Finding that they possess theft qualities, loving them by inllind, and convinced by reason that they are committed to our care, we naturally teach them the uk of their limbs, and or gans, and the name?, qualities, relations, and ule, of persons and things. As they iocrcafe in llature and knowledge, we endeavour to (how them how to avoid danger, and procure good; and, with a view to thole obj tl , teach them any characters, or figure ,of which we may have knowledge, tending to aftift them in getting, retailing and communicating ideas, or t ran failing bufiuefs. And, if, trim any ci cumllance, they cannot be taught, to the licit advantage, by us, we co.i mit them to the care of other instruc tors. In this manner we form a fchool, uu academy a college, or a univeifity.— Thus it appears that the religion of ua ture gives us fan&ion to a college. Finally, This inititution is clearly countenanced by the feriptu cs. Solo mon fays, “ A wife man will hear, and v i increase in learning,” It is menti oned by Iv. ke, as a consequence of the learning of Mofcs, that ht was, “Migh ty in words and deeds.” In commen dation of Dame!, and his colleagues, it is far'd* “ They had knowkdge and Ikdl in all learning and wildom.” Or, as we should express the fame fait, they were well inibuited in all arts, and kiences. Paul, the moll learned ant ukfui apottie of thrift, •* Taught and deputed dai ly, in thefchool,” or college, “of Ty rannus, of Fphefus, for the lpace of two years.” But, hear the diuue Mcfijah : ‘♦Gad hath given me the tongue of the ] ciroed, that I Ihould know how to lpeak * word in season to him that i w* ary ; he w?:keneth morn! ) by moining, he wakcr.e'h mine ear to hear as the karn ed.” To confer a higher honor than this on learning, would scarcely be pof fibie. We are Ihown here, by the spi rit of truth, that to hear with the ear, and to speak with the tongue of the learned, are amongst the highelt accom pi fhments of our nature, in its moft per fect Hate—even in the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Chart. I add no more. You (re, my hearers, that a college is immorralized in the bible—was eftablilh jedin the holy city, Jcrufalem, near the Temple—that a renowned prophetess dwelt in it—that it ranks high among the moft refpefitable ii.(titutions in the world—forms right habits—inculcates correct mnrais—udtils the principle of religion—gives liberal iuftructiona in uft-fnl, and ornamental arts and fcicnces : benefits mankind in the moft important concerns—particularly the moft impor tant part of our race—the rifi.ig genera tion— pofil-ffcs apt means of accomplifh ’ ing its laudable ends—has had from re -1 mote antiquity, a high reputation with rll parties of men diltingufhed by n-iany species of exellence—has a moft benign , efitdt on free government —is founded on j natural, and clearly countenanced by re vealed religion—having for its ultimate end—the glory of God. On these accounts, I thiik a college highly rtfpedfahle ; and fairly entitled to our patronage and support. But of the nature of my renr.ika, and of the in ferences which I draw from them, you will judge for yourselves. 1 feel con strained, however, to hope, and believe, that you will judge charitably, and that your flittering hands will be liberally ex tended in aid of the literary institution to be ettabhfhed among youfor thebentfit of yourchilrlren, under the denomination of “ The Baptist College of Georgia.” We wifhnot those who are unable to be just, or real y need assistance them- Lives, to exercite generofuy ; and as to tiie others, we doubt not but many of their hearts arc deviling liberal things. Alas, what sums are daily worse *han thrown away, in taverns, gambling hou ses, and theatres, by the intemperate, the licentious, and profane ! Andean so u ibleati institution as a chriftian college, uilicit, in van , ttie aid of upright, and worthy charaft; r? ? lmpoffibie. In luppurttrig this institution, we may act •n faith—give evidence of grace—soothe he anguish of many throbbing breads— iy up llie tears of negledtto orphans : Lengthen the belt feelings of our hearts; -cure the bhfling of a inumfice-nt Pro loence on our substance ; and make a present to the ltate—a c.ollege.

Captain Hallowell, of theorig Eliza, which arrived here yetterday afternoon, from Leghorn, via Gibraltar, bears dis patches from Captain Decatur, of the Congress, to our government. It was expedled, that an immediate war would take place between the empeor of Mo rocco and the United Statis. There were already two Moorish frigates out cru.fing for Americans. The United States brig Syren, Captain Stewart, had taken her flation eff Gibraltar, and was ordered to cruize between Cape Sfpartel and Magadore, to intercept any prizes that these frigates might make. On th-* 16 h of May, Captain liallowell was chafed and fired at by a Tripolitan Xe beck of 17 guns, but escaped by superi or falling ; at this time (lie was or.lv eight hours fat! from the Congress. Tie Al gerine-fLet was out ; confiding of the Glory, of 4+ guns , Hogipm Muttapha, of 44 , Hdlf.in Bafti3w brig, oi 18 ; and a Xebeck, if 18 ; and were crufing for the Trip, lit.ms and Gcno.fe. They trialed Captain Hollowed with parti cular politencfs. A Portugefi: fleet of two 74’s, and a frigate, were cruizing in the Gue of Gibraltar. Eight days ag >, off Bermuda, was boarded by a F. ench privateer, only ten days from Baflaei re (Guadaloupe), who informed, that the French fleet, un der admiral Viilaneauvc, had taken on board ali the white troops both at Marti t:q e and Guadaloupe, and that their dcitiuaiion was positively for Ireland. July -5- We Kate with plealurc that the captain and crew cf the brig Lion of this pop, lately wrecked a; tea, have been picked up and car ried to St. Croix. It is panful, however, to add, that four pifTenefs and a boy found a watery grave. The following is a copy of a erter received yefterdav br tue owners from the captain, dated St. Croix July 7. “ On the sth of Jure,l left New-York, and upon the 7th was caplited by a waterlpcut accompanied by a whirlwind, which came upon us without any war.ung.

This attrocious youth, in whom every princi ples of humanity seems to be extinit, had loaded his rifle with three large buck (hat; saw his father coming from his dwelling-house, and waited in his con cealment, till he had got fourteen paces pall the gin-houk, then delibcrate’y took atm, through a crevice between the logs of the house, (horrible to relate !) at h'.s father ! The ihot penetrated his back, and came out through his breatl. “ A jury of inqueit was fttmmoned early on the day following. This mur derer confeffed his crime, and made fome triv : a! excuses for his conduft.
