it. Some were even more faithless than
usual. They had seen hopeful appearan

Thus they reasoned. Rut God “ deall
not with us after our sins, nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities.” The sacred
tire gradually extended itself on every side,
warming’one heart after another,till it was
manifest that a revival had really begun in
the church.—Such confessions of unlruit
fulness ; such desire for the salvation of
sinners; such “ strong cryings and so many
tears,” could not be mistaken. During
the month of April, there were also some
encouraging appearances in the congrega
tion. Our assemblies on the Lord’s day,
and at other seasons, gradually increased
in numbers and solemnity ; and before the
close of the month it was known to a few.

THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1821.
It is with regret we learn that one of the im
portant religious charitable institutions of our
country is suffering for the want of support.
From a late Report of the American Education
Society, it appears that their annual receipts are
diminished, while their expenditures have been
increased. The managers of the society have
been compelled to reduce the allowance to the
beneficiaries, which has always been small, twen
ty-five percent.; and after this reduction, instead
■if being aide to receive any more, it is thought
they will have to dismiss some of their present
number. These facts constitute a forcible ap
peal to the liberality of the Christian community.
The objects of the society have been heretofore
sufficiently explained, and it is presumed that
most of our readers are acquainted with them.
In one of its objects, (he supplying our country
with a pious and well educated ministry, no
state has occasion to feel alleeper interest than
the state of Georgia. With a population ex
ceeding 260,000, the number of ministers of all
denominations does not exceed 100. To this
alarming deficiency of Ministers of the Gospel is
owing the present low and declining state of re
ligion, the prevalence of infidelity and of every
species of immorality. Whatever has a tenden
cy to remove these evils should receive encou
ragement from Christian? in Georgia. Some have
heretofore contributed generously, and some no
bly, and it is to be hoped that such are not wea
ryfin well doing, and that many others will be
disposed to give of their abundance into the
treasury of the Lord. For further motives to
liberality, we present our readers with the sub
joined extract from the sermon of the Rev. Dr.
Porter, delivered before the society at their last
annual meeting.
extract.
We proceed in our third inquiry, by what
means is the Gospel t be published through the
world ?
God, the Supreme agent, will accomplish this,
by the instrumentality of the Bible, and of preach
ing. The combined agency of the church is re
quisite to the operation of both these instruments.
Christians in general may contribute directly to
multiply copies of the Bible. And this charity,
which has marked with unprecedented lustre the
commencement of the nineteenth century, has
proceeded with a success so splendid, as “almost
to cast into the shade every other achievement of
benevolence. Are we in danger then, of feeling
too much the need of Bibles ? Certainly there
would be no reason to apprehend this, if onr zeal
were increased an hundred fold. But we are in
danger of feeling too little the need of living prea
chers. If fifty thousand Bibles were sent to the
pagans in our western w ilds, without the agency
of living instructed, not one of these Bibles would
ever he read.
In preaching the Gospel, however, the church
collectively cannot engage, except through the
medium of those who are regularly called and
prepared for the work. Hence Missionary estab
lishments arose, designed to support religious tea
sellers among those who are not aide, or nut wil
ling to furnish such support themselves. Want
of funds for this object, was the chief difficulty
apprehended, at the commencement of this work.
In its progress, want of preachers became in fact,
■the great and alarming obstacle to be surmounted
by Christian enterprise.
Hence Education Societies arose, designed to
give pecuniary aid to pious young men, whose
own resources were inadequate to the expense of
their studies, preparatory to the ministry. Be
fore this period, here and there an illustrious
Christian had endowed a theological professor
ship, in some favourite-college, as an auxiliary to
the church; or had contributed relief to the ne
cessities of some favourite theological student.
No society, established expressly for the purpose
abovementioned, existed within my knowledge,
till the year IB 10. The subject gradually gained
upon publick attention. lii 1815, a few pious
young men in Boston, proposed to unite their ef
forts in aid of some single charity student. This
h.d to prayer and reflection, and consultation more
extensively; and gave rise to the American Edu
cation Society, ivhioh in five years has aided not
one student merely, but more than tiro hundred
and fifty ; and which is calculated on the broad
plan of extending assistance to proper candidates,
in every state, and of every Christian denomina
tion. This sosiety exhibits no equivocal charac
ter. Combining genuine liberality with the sim
ple integrity of evangelical principles, it has been
extensively hailed by good men as worthy to be
ranked among the noblest institutions, to which
the enlightened piety of this age has given birth.
If it Were necessary to say that its conduct hith
erto, has fully corresponded with its early profes
sions, I might affirm this with great confidence,
having from its commencement been associated
in all their measures, with its Board of Directors.
In examining candidates, evidence of “ piety,
promising talents, and real indigence,” has been
deemed indispensable. But the question I pre
sume ha® never been put to any such youth—“ To
what religious denomination are you attached ?”
This is proof of real Catholicism, such as no simi
lar society in the laud has exhibited. Five de
nominations have shared harmoniously in the ben
efit of its funds, nineteen twentieths of which,
probably, were contributed liy one denomination.
1 might say more: excepting one recent instance,
the result, as I trust, of misapprehension, the Di
rectors of this society have escaped all imputation
<al sectarian partiality, and this too, whila the jeal
ousy of sectarian feeling, still too prevalent in
ninny Vninds, has been slow to credit the sincerity
of views so far above the standard to which Chris
tians have* been accustomed.
Besides the Branches arid Auxiliaries of this im-
portant institution, kindred societies have arisen,
and come forward with laudable zeal, and with
various success, in this good work.
But, are all these efforts necessary ? Every one
claims, and ought to claim the right of judging
for himself; because conviction must be the basis
of efficient action. We appeal then, to facts; to
facts indeed, many of which are already familiar
to intelligent Christians, but which, notwithstand
ing, need to be often repeated.
The whole number of missionaries now employ
ed in spreading the Gospel among (hose who are
iin‘*vangelized, is about 360, or less than one to a
million and a half of souls. Asia, which contains
more than half the population of the globe, has
only about one Christian teacher to five millions
-of souls. We fake for granted that it is our duty
to assist in evangelizing these regions: but to
wbat extent ? Shall we say that in this country
one preacher to a thousand souls is indispensable ;
and in those countries one to twenty thousand is
sufficient? Here, Billies, Tracts, scattered Chris
tians, and Christian institutions, are potent auxili
aries in promoting the work of salvation. There,
the missionary gropes alone, in a starless night,
and a trackless wilderness, unaided by those col
lateral means of instruction enjoyed in Christian
countries. Three hundred preachers for the Unit
ed States, or one for Boston, would be a more ad
equate supply, than one to 20,000 pagans. But
say one to 20,000. By a fair average on different
parts of Christendom, it is our proportion to fur
nish, at least, 2,000 missionaries for the heathen.
And how stands the account with our own
country ? In describing the moral state of its ex
tended population, common justice, and the in
trinsick delicacy of the subject, demand great
care and accuracy. Statements, false or doubt
ful, or exaggerated, produce mistake abroad, and
resentment at home. Bat because falsehood
should not be uttered, may we not speak truth ?
Or because truth is not to be spoken indiscreetly,
may we not speak it at all ? What if a hundred
thousand of our countrymen in one region think
it no calamity to live without Christian institu
tions ?—is it then no calamity ?
But wc are pointed to large districts where
open vice has given way, within a few years, to
religion and good order. Mas the moral wilder
ness then transformed itself into a fruitful field,
without the effort of Christians? Or have Chris
tians acted without first seeing that effort was de
manded ?
We are told that our new settlements are every
year rising in their moral prospects. So, we trust
in God, are the heathen. But how ? If Horne,
with trumpet tongue, had not roused the slumber
ing church; —if Buchanan had not lifted the pall
of death, that covers the millions of India, your
Millses and your Warrens would never have set
foot on pagan ground.
A COMET , just visible to the naked eye,
made its appearance last Wednesday evening, in
the western horizon. It was discovered about 7
o’clock, bearing about ten degrees N. of W. Its
altitude was then supposed to be about fifteen de

long in the neighbourhood of the earth or not, is
yet to be ascertained.

Fraying for the Queen. —On Sunday the 3d inst.
the Rev. W. Crowe, B. C. L. and publick Ora
tor of the University of Oxford, preached a ser
mon before the corporation, for the benefit of the
Blue Coat Charity in the city, and in the prayer
before the sermon, he prayed for our gracious
Queen Caroline, to the great astonishment of his
auditors. This very respectable and learned
divine has expressed his determination upon all
occasions where he may preach, to pray for his
Queen ; and this gentleman has stated, that until
the Queen’s name is directed to be omitted in
the Liturgy by an act of Parliament, he should
consider himself bound to pray for her.
The worthy Rector of Newbury, in Berks, till
he was ordered to desist, (but which he resumed
directly after the bill of pains and penalties met
its death blow) and the afternoon preacher, have
ever since the death of George HI. been in the
habit of praying for her majesty by name, in the
solemn service of the church, till last week, when
they were served with an interdiction from the
Bishop of Salisbury, ordering them to omit her
majesty’s name, or else they would he prosecuted
with the utmost rigour of the Ecclesiastical Court.
In consequence of this, and not being generally
known, a watchmaker of the town, on Sunday
lust, immediately after that part of the service,
“ O Lord, save the King !” did in a firm and au
dible voice, cry out, “and not forget the Queen !”
Immediately he left the church, followed by thirty
other persoos.
By an arrival at New York, London papers to

London, Dee. 10.
The Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Common
Counoilmen of London, with the Sheriffs, Recor
der and City officers, proceeded, at two o’clock,
yesterday, from Guildhall to Carlton House,
where, being introduced to the presence of his
majesty, who was seated on his throne, the Re
corder read the address and petition of the Com
mon Council, condemning the proceedings against
the Queen, and praying for the dismissal of min
isters. The following is a copy of his Majesty’s
reply :
“It has been with the most painful feelings
that I have heard the sentiments contained in
the address and petition now presented to me by
the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Common Coun
cil of the city of London.
“ Whatever may be the motives of those hy
whorn it is brought forward, its evident tendency
is to inflame the passions, and mislead the judg
ment of the unwary and less enlightened part of
my subjects, and thus to aggravate all the difficul
ties with which we have to contend.”
On the 2d of December, Lord Grenville had a
second interview with the King ; it was supposed
to relate to some change in the ministry.
The Courier in noticing the interview of Lord .
Grenville with the King, says, “we feel no re
luctance in asserting that neither Lord Liverpool,
nor Lord Harrowby, nor Mr. Canning, have ten- I
dered, or mean to tender their resignation—and
that the King has not sent for Eurl Spencer. In 1
fact there is not the least truth in the report of any
change of ministers being in contemplation.’' 1
The Psalms read at St. Pan's, when the Queen
attended, were CXL. and CXLI. To those who
considered her majesty an innocent and perse
cuted individual, the psalms selected must have
appeared peculiarly applicable to her case.
America and France. —The following is copied
from the London Times of December 6 :—“ We

adjusted, aud that the Minister of the United
States at Paris, and the French government have
mutually agreed that the high duties on shipping,
first imposed by France, and afterwards by the
United States, as a measure of retaliation, shall
be reacinded, and the trade restored to its former
footing.”

The famous Ali Pacha, in order to conciliate
the favour of the English, and save himself from
the fury of the Turks, has had a whole-length
portrait of himself painted, which he intends to
send to the king of Euglnnd. He is represented
holding in his hand a modern Greek manuscript,
which he has dictated in a pure style, although he
never learned to read pr write. TJie manuscript,
when translated, runs thus:
“I was born in Albania, of noble parents, and
am the son of Bascha. My father, like all his an
cestors, rendered important services to the inhab
itants of that country. He died when 1 was six
years of age. Then, alas, the friends and ene
mies, to whom my father had been a benefactor,
declared against me, like hungry wolves seeking
to devour their prey ; but the Almighty, whp had
destined me to long life arid giory, snatched me
from their teeth, arid preserved me from evil.
Not only did he shelter me under his powerful
arm, but he enabled me to combat With and de
stroy my enemies by a bloody war, even at a time
when I had scarcely any means of my own ; so
that, with the will of God, 1 rose into glory, and
received from my king honours, riches, and innu
merable treasures. The Franks, my neighbours,
thought that 1 had not obeyed my king, but they
were mistaken, for 1 have been always devoted
and submissive to his great power. Arrived at
the height of riches and honours, I combated my
enemies, destroying and persecuting some by fire
and steel, and others’by divers methods. 1 sub
jugated all Albania, I governed other countries,
even some of those belonging to the Franks ; I
destroyed and exterminated scoundrels and assas
sins ; 1 have loaded the just with honours, aggran
dized the humble, enriched the poor, and abased
the wealthy. Although become immensely rich
and glorious, 1 have never been content and sat
isfied, never having had enough. 1 have appeared,
I have seen, lam passed away. I have lost glory
and riches. I acknowledge that every thing in
this world is vanity—all is vanity—every thing is
as nothing—vanity of vanities!”

FALL OF LIMA.
As was anticipated, the patriots of Chili, under
the command of the gallant Cochrane, have
struck a blow in South America, the most fatal
to tyranny', and the most important in its conse
quences to the cause of freedom, than any mili
tary achievement during the whole of the revolu
tionary war in that country. From the Bermuda
Gazette of 13th Jan. it appears that intelligence
had been received at Jamaica, from the Spanish
Main, across the Isthmus of Darien, from the
South Seas, of Lord Cochrane’s having captured
the city of Lima, after a tremendous resistance,
during which four ofhis Lordship’s vessels were
sunk. The particulars of this splendid victory
had not been received : but its immediate conse
quences had been, to induce the people of Pa
nama to declare for independence, and the king
dom of Quito to shake off the Spanish yoke. The
same accounts state that “ the powers of Colum
bia” daily acquire more strength ; that Aury had
arrived at Savanilla, on the Maine ; and that he
and his officers had sworn to be faithful to the
repuhlick. We anxiously look for the details of
an event which has given so fortunate a turn to
the affairs of the patriots, and which we are con
fident will ere long, lead to the final emancipa
tion of the whole territory of South America, from
the Spanish and Portuguese yoke. JVat. Ado.
Washington, Feb. 14.
The Senate’s resolution declaring the admission
of Missouri into (lie Union, as amended in the
House of Representatives, was yesterday reject
ed in the House, by a majority of six votes. It
is in vain to regret what cannot be remedied.
Let. ns rather hope, that some proposition, in one
or the other house of Congress, will y r et be made,
which may have the effect to settle the question
forever. The decision of yesterday does not
preclude any such proposition, but rather invites
it. It behoves the friends of the best interest of
the Union to exert themselves to effect this ob
ject. Almost any decision, which shall be final
and conclusive, will be preferable to keeping the
matter, in suspense.
This is the day appointed by law for counting
the votes of the Electors of President and Vice
President of the United States. The resolution
on that subject, which has passed the Senate, and
will be found in the proceedings of that, body,
will probably pass the House of Representatives
also ; and be the rule of proceeding.
We have satisfaction in noticing the current
report, of the truth of which we have ho doubt,
that the ratification, by Spain, of the Treaty- with
her, has been delivered by the Spanish Minister,
to our government, and delivered without condi
tion. It is further said, that the Treaty w ill be
immediately laid before the Senate by the Presi
dent, for their consideration. Although it has
once received the assent of the Senate, it is sup
posed that the expiration of the allotted term for
its ratification makes it proper, without saying
any thing of the question of constitutional neces
sity, to submit the Treaty, presenting itself as it
does, under a charge of circumstances, to the
revision of the Senate.
SOUTH AMERICAN PROVINCES.
The following Resolution was introduced by
Mr. Clay into the House of Representatives- on
the 10th inst.
“ Resolved, That the House of Representa
tives participates with the people of the United
States in the deep interest which they feel for the
success of the Spanish provinces of South Ameri
ca, which are struggling to establish their liberty
and independence ; and that it will give its con
stitutional support to the President of the United
States, whenever he may deem it expedient to
recognize the sovereignty and independency of
any of the said provinces.”
A motion was made, that the resolution should
lie upon the table, which was lost, 71 to 72. An
animated debate ensued, in the course of which
Mr. Archer moved to divide the question, which
was agreed to ; and the question to agree to the
first clause of the resolution, ending with the J
sentence, “ their liberty and independence,” the j
votes were, ayes 134—nays 13. The question
was then taken on agreeing to the 2d, or remain
ing clause of the resolution, and decided in the 1
affirmative, yeas 87, nays 68. The question was j
then put on agreeing to the proposition as a
whole, and carried in the affirmative, and a com
mittee of two members was ordered to be ap
pointed to lay the same before the President.
The above resolution caused considerable de
bate. Messrs. Clay, Floyd and Walker took

An express from Savannah reached th,s city on
Tuesday last, bringing advices of the arrival of the
Orion , at that place from Liverpool, with dates
to the Ist January. A considerable depression
bad taken place in the cotton market, and a fur
ther decline was anticipated—Prime uplands
were quoted from 8 a 10 l-2d. This unexpec
ted intelligence has almost paralyzed our market
—but few sales can be effected, in consequence

Esquimaux Indians. —Since the arrival of Cap
tain Hadlock, with those natives, much curiosity
has been excited, and many thousand persons
have seen them ; many of whom have expressed a
belief that they had been stolen from the coast.
Facts have now been developed that induce a be
lief that Captain Hadlock has taken these poor
creatures from their country, and brought them
to a land of strangers, contrary to their inclina
tions.
The circumstances as related to us are these :
The Rev. Mr. Mort mer, the Moravian Minis
ter, called to see them, and being acquainted with
the language used on the coast of Labrador, he
conversed w ith the man. At first he evinced a
great unwillingness to answer any questions; but,
on the Rev. gentleman mentioning the name of
one of the Moravian missionaries, he caught hold
of Mr. Mortimer’s arm and expressed much sur
prise. A full developement was soon after made
to a gentleman of this city. The Mayor was ap
plied to,who immediately issued an habeas corpus,
and the man, woman and child were brought be
tore him. The man stated that he could spieak
English; and that he had been accustomed to
visit, in his canoe, all American and English ves
sels which touched at that part, of the coast where
he resided. On Captain Hadlock’s appearing off
the coast, he went off to the vessel: when Cap
tain Hadlock detained him, taking his canoe on
board. After sailing’ down the coast for about
silty miles, the captain sent a boat ashore with
five men, who brought off the woman and child
that are w ith him, and who are palmed on the
publick ns his wile and child. When they were
all on board, he told them that they must go to
America ; and if they spoke any other word in
English than yes, yes, he would immediately kill
them : that it was from fear they have been kept
from speaking English, since their arrival. The
Mayor issued a warrant for the apprehension of
Hadlock, who, w r e understand, states that he
came honestly by them, had treated them well,
and had given them their choice, to follow him or
not. He has been committed for trial. The In
dians are given in charge of the overseers of the
poor.
A book was given to the Esquimaux, printed
in his own language, parts of which he translated

On the 6fh inst, two brothers, by the name of
English, near the Big Beaver, in this county,
w ent in pursuit of a wolf, but, nut being success
ful in their search, returned in the evening to the
house of one of the brothers, who was in the act
of putting up his gun, when she went off, and
shocking to relate, killed his brother on the spot,
and wounded his wife and two children ! The
gun was loaded with five bullets, two of which
passed through the head and neck of the deceas
ed. The woman was shot through the body, and
the ball lodged in the opposite side, and one of
her arms broken and shattered in such a manner
as to render amputation necessary : it is doubtful
whether she will recover. One of the children
had its fingers shot off the hand and the other
wounded in the head, supposed mortal.
The above is a solemn warning to those who
are fond of the chase, the sports of the field, or
who are in the habit of using or exercising with
fire arms.
Daring impiety punished —An inhabitant of a

cupying the tract of land for some time he con
cluded to give up his dwelling housd to his son,
who we believe had just married, and himself
take the Meeting House for a dwelling—as he
supposed “ God Almighty must be tired'of hear

drove off the preacher and congregation, and
converted the Meeting House into a dwelling
house ; but lo ! though he took possession of it in
perfect health,he lived but a few weeks before he
was called hence ! Raleigh Register.
