“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.

A Savannah paper, speaking on the Mes

“In turn, the state of Georgia asl«, upoi

Though We are not the Laioycr or Mis

upon ourselves to say, that the Indian

the white man has to monopolize this same

sedly, they look only to the emancipa
tion and pacification of Greece; but not
to a specific quarrel with the Grand
beignior, any farther than he may at
tempt to interfere, and interrupt them
in the execution of their- project.—
But Russia finds it necessary to her
own operations against the Turks, to
do something more than the British &
French are prepared for. 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.

of regularity and discipline, which
have excited fears of disturbance, if
not of open insurrection. A serious
tumult in Ireland, would find employ
ment forthe British government near

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.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
Nevv-York, Nov. 12.
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. Sev
eral proclamations, &c. had been re
ceived from Don Pedro, in which he
appears to have presumed that fee rq-
getioy of Gporto would barehe**,^
cessful instead of Don Miguel; and!
which he shows an ill-placed relight,
on the honor and integrity of the p,*|
eht usurper. The Queen of Portu E J
is not likely to be received at pres<y
at .the British court, in the royal chad
acter; and the fact that she is toL
divested of the attendants and allovjl
an«e which have thus far been grantJ
her, and to remain in retirement, *^.1
til the determination of the quattiql
of succession does not indicate
decision in the British minis.’ry.
Ireland.—The state of Ireland still l
continued unsettled, but a Dublin pj. I
per assures us that the previous ao|
counts were exaggerated.—lb.

THE CHEROKEES AND GEORGIA.

Superior civilization of white men.
When the United Stales, on the
24th of April 1802, entered into an a.
greement with one of themselves, fo
the extinguishment of the title of the
Cherokees to a part of their tthe Ch*.
rokee) lands, a treaty was at that ve-
ry time in existence, between the Che
rokees and said United States, (o{
which Georgia then was, and still ig
one,) containing the following articles,
“Art. 7.—The United States
solemnly guaranty to the Che<
rokee Nation, all their landi
not hereby ceded.”
“Art. 14.—That the Cherokee Na
tion may be led to a greater degree si
civilizatien and become herdsmen and
cultivlmrs, instead of remaining in a
state of hunters, the United States
will from tiihe to time furnish gratu
itously, the said nation with useful im-
piements of husbandry; &c.”
The joint Committee of Georgia on
the State of the Republic, in their
report of 5th December, 1827, com
plain that the United States have
managed “so to add to the comforts of
the Cherokees, and so instruct them m
the business of husbandry, as to attach
them so firmly to their country and lo
their homes, as almost to destroy the
last ray of hope that they would ew
er consent to part with the Georgia
lands,”—and declare that “the lands
in question belong to Georgia—she
must and she will have them.”
Under any, but particularly under
fee circumstances of disease, whet
monstrous sentiments, what detestable
principles, are here promulgated.—If
this be tne resalt of the ichile man’e

and Christianity; if this be a sample ol
his good faith and his regard for the
fame and honor of his country, I than!
tho Great Spirit that he has kept ria
free from their contamination.

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
