manifested what I should call a revival spir it. Some were even more faithless than usual. They had seen hopeful appearan ces often, but had always been disappointed. 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. that two or three individuals were begin ning to ‘ask ‘ what they should do to be saved.’ [Concluded in our next.] 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 grees. Whether this eccentrick visiter will tarry long in the neighbourhood of the earth or not, is yet to be ascertained. Foreign and Domestick Intelligence. LATEST FROM EUROPE. By the arrival of the ship Orion at Savannah, from Liverpool, letters have been received to the Ist of Jan. and Liverpool papers to the 28th of December. Cobbett has been found guilty in the Court of King’s Bench of three libels. One thousand pounds damages were awarded to the plaintiff, who was charged in the libels as guilty of forgery and fraud. Ali Pacha has succeeded in escaping from the fortress in which he had shut himself lip with his treasures, and he has taken refuge with part of his soldiers in Sclavouia. Anew Comet has been seen at Munich, the or bit of which is between Pallas and Jupiter. Prance lias offered her mediation between Aus tria and Naples, which has been accepted by the latter, and the differences were likely to be ami cably adjusted. Circular letters had been addressed from the Treasury to the ministerial members of the House of Commons, requesting their attendance at the opening of Parliament on 23d Jan. as matters of great importance were to be submitted to them. Liverpool, Dec. 29. 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 the 10th, and Liverpool papers to the 12th of December have been received. 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 understand, on very good authority, that the dif ferences between the French and American gov ernments on the subject of commerce have been 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.” Nov. 21. 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!” [Courier Prancaise. 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 part for the resolution, and Messrs, Cobh,-{teed, tfinith and Robinson against it, / 103 Extract of a letter dated Paris, 24th Nov. to a gentleman in Boston.

He is a haze fellow, with shaggy hair—immense whiskers aiR musta chios—large diamond ear-rings in his ears—a mag nificent diamond broach in his shirt—superb dia mond rings on the fingers of both hands—the key of chamberlain attached to the back of his coat—a half dozen of orders upon his button holes—in fact a curiosity to see; and I am sure any showman would make a fortune by carrying him about the world to exhibit.” Unpleasant New*. —We are informed, that a gentleman from Arkansas, passed through this town a few days ago with despatches for govern ment from Governour Miller, on the subject of the Indians in that Territory, who have recently manifested hostile feelings.’ We cannot state pre cisely the cause of their dissatisfaction, or the ex tent of the alaim which their unfriendly disposi tion ruay have produced among the inhabitants, but we understand that Gov.

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 of sellers holding out for prices. A few lots went off yesterday at 1 a 1 1-2 cent low'er than our former quotations. We do not learn that the Orion brought any political intelligence of im portance. 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 into English. [JV. Y. Spectator. Bf.avf.r, Pa, Jan. 26. 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.
