a*# Ear of love.
In womanN eye, there is a ray
Which, by its nugick, in m hour,
Oft melt* tlie bosom's frost away.
And learns the ifofoest heart to cower.
Man, basking in the quickening’ glance,
Feels life’s calm bfiistymairt,
| Though on him pour thi storms of Chance
With all her angry train.
From gory fields and stormy seas
It draws the res tiers mind—
Bestowing joy and peace and rase,
And leaving scarce a stain behind.
Ves! when to Ruin’s dizzy edge
Man i» by folly driven,
It srarns him from the frightful ledge,
And leads him back to Heaven.
’ fU not the pageant of a day.
Nor tenant of p single dime:
Wide as the word, it bolds its sway,
And lights the march of time.

Believing newspapers to. be improper vehicle*
’/for tlieological controversy, we have always ea-
' ided, and will continue to exclude, from our co
articles having a tendency to promote such

the writer of the following essay may have been
impressed with the opinion that we wre averse
to the subject of which he treats, and from the
lapse of time bis paper has been in our possession,
that we intended to suppress it. We view the
subject, however, in a different light—as imply

tions of Christian* may, without conscientious
scruples, unite;—and the true cause of its not be.

Messrs. EniTuas—The following reflections are
submitted to yotir disposal with diffidence. They
were occasioned by a perusal of the interesting
Report of the rev. Dr. Koixocx, secretary to the
Savannah Religious Tract 8‘iciety. Could my
weak exertions in the least degree draw the atten
tion of the religious public to this subject, my
Wishes will be accomplished. Your’s, Ac. F. G. S
Savannah, 8th Oc ober, 1817.
The present is an age characterized by peculiar
features. The long night of darkness, supersti
tion, and—what is worse than either—of the in
difference of professing Christians to the advance
ment of the cause of truth, is passing away, and
•■IT brighter day is dawning.
Within the last ten years, our country has wit
nessed the rise, progress and. maturity of many
different associations for the purpose of enlarging
the Redeemer's kingdom. Few of these—though
others may have'been greater in their plan, or
more expensive in their execution—have been at
tended with effects which might more justly glad
den the heart of Christian charity, than Religious
Tract Societies.
When the revolutionists of France would bavi.
overturned the religious institutions of the conti
nent, and have razed to its base the fabric of Chris
tianity, they endeavored to seize on the very reins
of public opinion, by gratuitously distributing
among the populace, small volumes containing
their own peculiar tenetss—and shall the advocates
of Christianity be outdone in their exertions for
its advancement by the zeal and labor of Voltaire
and his confederates?
" Much may be done by individual exertions, but
much more by the united exertions of many. But
afew months since, a Religious Tract Society wa>
insliluted in Savannah. The friends of morality
and pietv have much to hope for from its success
Many oi the middle and northern states, particu
larly those of Ncw-Englahd, have already largely
experienced the good effects of similar institu
tions. .Multitudes in the lower walks of life, re
cognize in some Tract Society, their spiritual alma
Aater.
Institutions the most august and imposing, are
not always those, from which are derived (o the
world, the most substantial benefits. The torrent
bursting over a precipice, and bearing death and
devastation in its course, is an object, at once of
terror and sublimity; but it is the peaceful and
Inajestic river, wafting on its tranquil bosom the
productions n. r the surrounding states fertilizing
its shores, and diffusing health and wealth and
happiness, that presents a vista, on which the eye
of humanity loves to dwell.—On this association
for tlie “common salvation,” were the friends of
. Godliness alive to a sense of duty, might rest the
blessings of thousand ready to perish.
STATE of OTAHRITE.
The Marquarrie, captain Campbell, left Otahe-
ite tue 24th of April, wi'h a cargo of between fif
ty and sixty tons of pork, excellently cured. She
also touched at Eimeo, one of the Society islands,
where the missionaries have latterly dwelt. There
is on the different islands a greatquantitv of poul
try. such as cocks and hens, a few Muscovy ducks
and a number of goats.' The missionaries have a
few head of horned cattle, and a few sheep; but
lings and the bread fruit constitute the chief de
pendence of the islands The banana seems to
liave been indigenous to the islands; the sweet
trop ical pntatoe, the pumpkin, and melon are cul
tivated with success; and captain Campbell has,
we understand, during hla late excursion, sown
among the islands, the loquet, the peach, the ce
lery, and other ganlen seeds. Cotton is of spon
taneous growth among most or all of the islands,
•rid its quality very various. The country, which
WX- beautiful in itself, lias derived luxuriance from
itt intercourse with the' British nation; the abort
eiflrt, who but a few yean ago, or indeed but a
few' months since, were cruel pagans, are now con
verted to Christianity a their idolatry is past, their
wan are at an end; and under the guidance of their
missionary friends and brethren, they promise to
become a good and happy people. The inhabit
ants of-Bolabota made captain Campbell a present
of their Deity, which consisted of a log of wood,
from five to mx feet long, and two or three inches
thick, with a number of faces carved upon it. They
parted with it A a proof their reformation, and a
token of contemns! towards their former preju
dices. - Pomare liaqmot been re-invested with ab

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
In the southward anil forward counties
the white corn it generally .secured: it i>
locally abundant auil of good quality, but
a month hence will be sufficiently early to
report more specifically on these points.—
The same may be safd'ofthe southerattnd
best parts of Scotland. ■ The northern and
backward districts have been essentially
benefited by the fineness of the-current
month; but , for the completion of their har
vest, most depend entirely upon the suc
ceeding, since much of their corn is not
even yet ripe. Beans tviirbe nearer to an
average crop than was lately expected; bar-
iey, oats anB$eas,the largest. Hops have
greatly improved. Fruit generally defi
cient, both in this country and upon the
continent. From theconstantrainsin Au
gust, the fallows are imperfect, and corn
discolored in places. Potatoes and turnips
in great abundance. - Great damage has
been sustained, both in last and present
year by the lent corn bein'” suffered (in the
south) to lie in the swathe. Long wool
maintains its price, and is in demand.—
Cattle, both fat and store, considerably
lower.
London, October 3.
This morning we received German pa
pers to the 20th ult;"They confirm the
former account of the death of her imperi
al highness, the consort of the archduke
•Palatine, in giving birth to a son and daugh
ter. The children are said to be in good
health. The plague continues its ravage.*
in Constantinople: but a letter from Pe
tersburg of the 29th August, seems to
threaten an aggravation of this misery, by
superinducing the horrors of a war between
Russia and Turkey. Our readers have
ue-n already apprized ot tlie execution o.
Czerny Georges, by order of one of the
Turkish governors, who, it seems, did not
think his character, as a rebel to the Porte,
superceded by that of a lieutenant general
in the service of Russia, the knight of Si.
Anne of the first class. The intelligence
of this event created a lively sensation in
Petersburg, and a courier was immediate
ly despatched to the Russian minister at
Constantinople commanding himto require
categorically, and within 14 days, a pub
lic declarattoiPfrom the Porte, disavowing
this act, and the exeinplary punishment of
the perpetrators; and if this be not com
plied with in the course of 1-t days, lie
shall immediately leave Constantinople.—
The ^ame courier carried orders to sus
pend the building of the new palace for
the Russian embassy at Constantinople;
and another courier was at the same time
despatched to the head-quarters of general
Uenningsen. AVe are not prepared to find
the Porte so very tenacious of a bashaw’?
head as to involve itself for a consideration
so trifling, in a contest w ith the formidable
power of Russia.
The. bakers yesterday raised the price
of bread to 14 pehce. Sugar also has ex
perienced arise of one penny in the pound.
Die extraordinary consumption of sugar at
this particular season of the year may part
ly account for the rise in that article. /The
long course of fine weather, and the pros
pect of afyountiful harvest over the world,
make it difficult to find a just cause for the
rise in the price of bread.
The account of the death of Mr. Hol
man, which appeared in the New-York pa
pers, is confirmed by private letters, one
of which says, ‘‘I am. sorry to inform you
that we have just received intelligence here
from America of the death of Mr. Holman
on the 24th August, Miss Moore, Miss Lat
imer, and Mr. Saunders, of the theatre,
were struck dead by lightning.” The Miss
Latimer, one of the sufferers by this la
mentable event, is supposed to be Mrs.
Holman, who was an admired singer, and
had not long before been . married to Mr.
Holman. The latter dreadlul calamity is
said to have happened only twodays before
his death.
October 4.
Ships continue to be equipped in the ri
ver for the purpose of conveying officers,
linn-commissioned officers, and privates, to
aid the patriots in South-Am.rica. At
present one vessel is quite ready to sail,
having on board officers fully equipped,
and 200 privates, to form a rifle corps.—
Another is ic a forward state of prepara
tion, and has appointments for a cavalry
regiment, 600 strong; a third is freighteti
with the equipments of a lancers’ corps.—
l'ne officers are all men \\lio have seen ac
tive service, and are of every rank, from
lieutenant-colonels to ensigns. The or
ganization is so complete, and the arrange
ments so happily made, that they will be
ready for immediate service on their arriv
al in America.
Letters from a central part of Spain
mention, that the troops destined for South
America, a descent down to Cadiz and
other parts of Andalusia, had been recalled
into Estremadura, the government not
having the means to subsist and pay them
in the districts in which they were first or
dered to assemble.
We understand that Spain is making an
effort to restore its naval aud military force,
and that a very considerable order .for na
val aud artillery stores has lately been re
ceived in tins country, to be shipped for
Spaiu.

TRADE WITU AMERICA.
There have been imported from the tJni-
ted States of America, in the course of the
last twelve months, above one million of
barrels of flour .into the different ports of
the united kingdom. The town of Liver
pool alone lias imported nearly 590,000
barrels. The average price a barrel is a-
bout 60s. The amount paid to America
for this article by Great-Britain alone, may
therefore be estimated at three millions of
pounds sterling. But, besides this large
sum front Great-Britain, the bad harvest of
last year throughout^ large part ofEurope
enabled America to levy contributions from
France, Spaiil and Portugal to a very con
siderable amount for flour; and the Ameri
cans appear to have inauaged the business
very skilfully—for, when ademand was first
expected from Europe, it was universally
given out that the U. States could afford
hut a small quantity of flour to Europe—
some few hundred thousand barrels were
talked of at the utmost. In addition to
this article Europe pays large sums to the
U. States for tobacco, cotton, wool, pobaud
pearl ashes, rice, flaxseed, (about 50,000
hogsheads of seven bushels each, annually
imported into Ireland, value from 31. to 51.
a hogshead or at an average of 4l. a hogs-
aead, 200,000/.) turpentine and staves.—
London paper*\
From the'New York Gazette, 11/A inst
The London Courier, of the 2d of last
month, observes;:
“The American papers wliich vve have
lately received continue to speak of the ef
forts making to iucrease the strength of the
Navy of the U. States, with a view, no
doubt, to a mure desperate competition
with Great Britain, should any unforeseen
circumstances unhappily occasion another
rupture between the two countries. Such
an event is most earnestly to be depre
cated; but as, in the various and fluctuat
ing relations of states, it is impossible to
say how soon tranquillity, apparently the
most profound, may be violated, it may be
worth while again to call the public atten
lion, while it can be calmly directed to
wards the subject, )to the practice on the
part of the Americans of under-rating their
vessels; all of which are in fact ot much
greater strength than the class to which
they belong. , America is at present the
only power that makes any distinction be
tween the rate and the actual strength of
its ships of war. Neither France, Spain,
nor Russia do so, nor, we believe, did they
ever do so. The present American seven
ty-fours can throw a broad-side within fifty
pounds as heavy as the Caledonia, a Brit,
isli ship, rating 120 guns, and measurin'
2617 tons.” •
The editor of the Courier is informed,
that there is not, at present, the least pros
pects of the unhappy occasion which he
seems to dread; but should there ever again
be a war between the two countries, we
shall not be found unprepared. It is de
termined by our government to increase
our navy, as one of the most effectual
means of preserving peace.
The comparative strength between the
frigates President and Endyinion, which
the Courier copies from “James’s naval oc
currences of the late war,” is not correct;
but the mis-statements may serve to ap
pease the feelings ot tiiose who have
not been correctly informed. We are glad
to fiud that the Courieracknowledges, that
the Endymion is “the largest and the m ist
formidable44 gun frigate belonging to their
navy,” because, at the time ot her escape
from the President, she waarepresentidas
a vessel of an inferior class.
The Courier proceeds:
“It is far from improbable, however, that
the American government, profiting by the
British Order in Council, directing that all
British men of war shall henceforward be
rated according to their actual force, may
be contemplating the means of reducing
their rating-system, and bringing it a lit
tle nearer the standard of truth. The va
riation between the rate and the mounting
of the British navy was of gradual progress,
attributable to accident' rather than de
sign.”
From the New-Bedford Gazette of November 7.
FROM SWEDEN.
The ship Phrenix, captain Jos. Dunbar,
arrived at this port on Wednesday, in 60
days from Stockholm, has brought des
patches for government, from Christopher
flughes, jun. esq. American charge des af
fairs at the court' of Sweden. " Captain
Dunbar states, that the police system of
Sweden is most rigorously enforced. It
prohibitsall foreigners, withoutdiscrimina-
tion who may arrive at any part of the
kingdom, from proceeding till they receive
a passport from Stocfcoliu. Captain D.
mentions an instance of the duke of De
vonshire, who was on his way to St. Peters-
burgh to attend the marriage of the grand
duke Nicholas, was required to wait on
the frontiers till a passport could be pro
cured for him. This system operates very
severely on American merchants having
business in Sweden; many of whom have
been detained at great expence. Mr.
Hughes had remonstrated to the Swedish
government on the difficulties resulting to
American fitizeus from this regulation;
ruption. This privilege,it was understood,
was not granted to the people of any other
nation.
Montreal, November 1.
Monthly agricultural report fir the district of Mon
treal, fir October, 1*517.
This month has beeu. very unfavorable
for rural pursuits: the frequent change of
the weather caused much trouble and dis
appointment to the farmer in housing the
late crops, but there was scarcely an]* thing
out at the close of the month.
Tiieoats have been much dUcoIfired, nor
arc they weighty.
yiic late" pease have suffered in color,
many not having ripened.
■The horse-beans were housed in good
order: this will be a substitute for Indian
co-ii; when sowed early, they ripen well,
and are very good for horses, pigs, sheep,
and poultry
The low meadow and low island hay, is
very light and bad, it being always.cut late
in the autumn, it could not be boused well
from the continued rain.
The potatoc crop has been generally
got in: those on high ground have been very
productive, aud from the immense quanti
ty that was plauted this spring, there are
perhaps mpre than in any former year.
Carrpts in field culture are a fair crop.
Parsnips are scarce lor bad seed.
Mangle wartzel has been successful on
high laud.
The cabbages are very indifferent, from
the turnip fly having preyed on them when
young. _ , 1
The turnip crop is very light from the
flv; they were generally cut oft; those sow
ed in August stood, but it was too late to
form any size. , *
From the changeable weather which pro
longed the housing of the crops, it had the
ellect to prevent the farmers from plough
ing, some ground being too wet; that la
bour is not near so forwar • as it was at this
date last year, however, should the sea
son be like the last, it may be continued
to the middle of next month.
