THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, FltlDAff, APRIL 20, 1821.
‘The Rev. John Bascom in his tour to the
South for his health, received a mission from the
Congregational Missionary Society of Charleston.
Ue travelled according to his directions, into the
State of Georgia. On the 27th of January he
arrived at Waynesborough. lie spent two days
here, and preached on the Sabbath. He received
the generous patronage of the good ladies of this
place, who supported him for two months. And
in ton weeks from the time he left it, he travelled
seven hundred miles; visited the destitute chur
ches in the upper part of the state, and made an
excursion as far as lirainerd, a Missionary Station
in the Cherokee Nation. During this period he
pri ached sixty sermons, administered the Sacra
ment of the Lord’s Supper three times, baptized
one child, received two persons into full commu
nion, attended six prayer meetings, visitoJ six
schools, and as many families as he had opportu
nity and ability. The Lord graciously carried
him through all these labours and fatigues, and
preserved ami improved his health. His minis
trations were generally very well attended. He
was treated with the greatest kindness by the
(. liurches among which he laboured : and by peo
ple generally whom he visited he was kindly re
ceived and treated. He found the school at
Br. inerd in a prosperous condition.

At the Moravian Missionary Station at Spring
place, in the Cherokee Nation, Mrs. Garabold
deceased on the 20th of last February. At her
funeral Ihe Rev. Mr. Smith preached an affection
ate and appropriate discourse to a solemn audi
ence which truly lamented the loss of this mother
in Israel. She was a zealous and laborious ser
vant of the Lord Jesus. For a considerable num
ber of years the was a faithful and approved
school teacher among the Cherokees at this sta
tion. She was a shining light amidst a moral
wilderness, a pattern of self-denial and good
works. She died with a strong hope of a blessed
immortality, and has left an affectionate husband,
who appeared resigned to the will of God, calm
and sedate under this severe affliction. She was
useful while iu life. In answer to her prayers a
goodly number of Cherokees have imbibed the
Spirit of Christ, and embraced him as their Sa
viour. Just before her death she waspreparing
to go to anew station, to encounter new trials,
and to endure new hardships. Her heart was
hxed to live a life of self-denial while she contin
ued on earth, and to wear herself out in trying to
enlighten and christianize the heathen ; when her
beloved Master released her from her toilsome
pilgrimage, and received her home togiory.
The session of Cayuga Presbytery, at Aurora,
in tiio Slate of New York, in January last, was
uncommonly interesting. So great a degree of
tiie Divine Presence was manifested at the com
munion and on the ensuing evening, that they
det< rmined to lay aside their business, and to
spend the time in religious exercises. Many
members of the Presbytery expressed themselves
in a very animating and affecting manner. Be
fore they parted, they entered into a solemn cov
enant to set apart a season at the going down of
the sun, every Saturday, for earnest prayer to
Cod for the out pouring of the Spirit upon the
churches under their care. They agreed like
wise to circulate a request in form of a tract
among them, to assemble two or three at the
A'-'ine place, and to enjoy together a season of
‘communion in prayer. Avery pleasing account
of a revival of religion in Brutus, in the county of
Cayuga, N. Y. was related at this meeting of the
Presbytery. Mr. Pool, the Pastor of the Church
in Brutus, observed, that such was the degenera
cy in religion, that family worship was much neg
lected hv Professors. They felt themselves una
ble to support a preached Cospel any longer ; and
the church actually assembled for the purpose of
requesting Mr. Pool to receive a dismission from
them. But while they were consulting upon it,
filch a forcible conviction of the worth of the
privileges of which they were about to deprive
themselves, came upon them, that they could not
proceed—But they spent the time in prayer.—
bach an awakening soon followed, that five hun
dred appeared under severe convictions ; and 20 j
it was hoped, were made the subjects of renewing I
it’ grace. There is much attention to religion also in ,
f * Auburn, which is near Brntns.

Affair* of Naples. —An article from Laybach
dateflEeb. 22, announces that the Austrian army
pa-=ed the Po on Ihe 28th and 29th of January,
and is advancing upon Naples by three different
routes. Forty thousand men will first advance to
’he frontiers, who will announce, in case of resis
tance, that they will be followed by 80,000 more.
His majesty the King of Naples has addressed a
proclamation to the inhabitants of the two Sici
lles, in which lie orders the immediate dissolution
of the parliament. He also calls on them to re
ceive the Austrians as friends, and promises, on
his return, to give them a constitution.
Frankfort, Feb. 12.
We just learn that a copy of the proclamation
by the King of Naples has been received iu this
place, and that it accords in substance with what
is above stated.
To the above we must add in brief, that the
French papers last received, contain a variely of
[paragraphs whose tendency is to confirm the omi- 1
bous intelligence that the Austrianarmy had posi
tively ma-ched for Naples.

journals sustain a firm and res
olutefohe. They state that 400,000 Neapolitans
are already in arms in defence of their couptry,
If, say they, the Swiss and the Americans, in far
lesß numbers could resist Austria and England,
shake off their yoke, and sustain their own inde
pendence, the Neapolitans will be able to do as
much ; and will shew to the whole of Europe,
that seven millions of inhabitants will suffer no
dictation respecting the laws by which (hey are to
be governed.
New levies of troops have been completed, and
the most decisive measures are in operation among
the Neapolitans to maintain their independence.
The English ministry are accused by the oppo
sition members of parliament, of having pursued a
temporizing and pusillanimous policy iu regard to
the interference of the allies in the affairs of Na
ples. Lord Liverpool affirmed in reply, that they
had no intention of engaging iu hostilities on one
side or the other.
Insurrection, at Madrid. —A second edition of
the London Courier, of the 19th February, states,
that a letter fiom Paris, has been received, ,of
which the following is an extract: —
“ While closing this letter, a note from the
Spanish embassy informs roe, that yesterday a
courier arrived in about six days from Spain,
bringing news of a general insurrection at Madrid ;
the king’s guard massacred ; his persou threaten
ed—in short a most terrible catastrophe. This I
unforlunately consider as official.”
“On the slh the king went out at his usual
hour. He had scarcely quitted the palace, when
the most insulting cries were heard, mingled with
those of ‘ Lire the King of the Constitution /’—
The body guards, who were on duty, fell on the
mob sword in hand, and some persons were
wounded. [One account says, that some of the
citizens were killed.]
The municipality of Madrid sent a request to
the king for the disbanding of the body guards,
which was complied with. The members were to
receive some other appointments.
The accounts in the papers received at Phila
delphia, do not appear positively to confirm the
; account received at Boston, that the Austrian
i army was actually on its march for the invasion
iof Naples. The Duke de Gallo, it seems, prime
I minister of Naples under the constitutional gov
ernment, had set out for Laybach, after the de
parture of the king. He was stopped ou the
road by- the Austrian officers, but ou representa
tion being made to the allied sovereigns, he was
allowed to proceed, and has joined the king of
Naples at Laybach. And a letter from the latter
place, of a recent date, announces that since his
arrival, the negotiations and the conferences
have taken a turn which encourages the hope that
the tranquillity of Europe will not be disturbed.
A private letter from Milan, of Jan. 22, men
tions, ttiat several arrests have taken place there,
supposed to have been concerned with political
affairs. It was dangerous to speak of the affairs
between Austria and Naples. It was rumoured
that the Austrian army had made another move
ment towards the Po, and that they were ordered
to be ready to proceed for Naples at the shortest
notice. A disturbance at Turin is spoken of as
having caused considerable commotion ; “ in fact,
(says the letter) every thing seems ripe for cora-
I motion.” A paragraph from Augsbnrgh, Jan. 30,
says they have not yet received any advice by
the direct communication from Italy, of the pre
tended Manifesto, or of the Declaration which
W'as said to have been published at Laybach, ei
ther by the Allied Powers, or by the King of Na
ples. No confidence was placed in the account
of its existence. An article from Naples, Jan.
20, says, no message from the King had reached
them since his arrival at Laybach. Ministers at
tributed this to the great fall of snow, which has
impeded the communication. The Prince Regent
has sent back to the Parliament the plan of con
stitution submitted for his inspection, without
sanctioning it. He lias indicated several altera
tions that he w ishes to have made. These cor
rections are very numerous, and all of them of
very little importance. A list of them has just
been published, and the replies made by the
Commissioners. The following is the first:
1. You have not joined to the King’s name all
titles attached to the crow'n and person ?
Answer. The person who wrote the plan was
in such haste, that be had not the time to write
nil the titles: the Commissioner proposes to add
them hereafter.
The King of England has attended the Drury
Lane and Covent Garden Theatres. The Times
represents that he was coldly received by the
audience ; but the ministerial papers say, “ The
most beloved monarch that ever won the affec
tions of a great and loyal people, never received
from his subjects expressions of attachment, of
devotion, of almost maddening rapture, surpassing
those which burst forth yesterJay evening, when
the King entered.”
In regard to the Queen of England, the minis
ters carry every thing by large majorifies. A de
bate of two nights’ continuance took place in the
House of Commons, on the sth and 6th of Febru
ary, on a motion of the Marquis of Tavistock,
“ That ministers, in adjourning the measures
against the Queen, were not justified b v any con
sideration of political expediency, and -that their
conduct lias been productive of consequences
derogatory from the dignity of the crown, and in
jurious to the best interests of the country.” On
a division the ministers had 148 majority.
Lord Castlereagh alleged in the House of Com
mons, that the newspapers which advocated the
cause of the Queen, were paid by her. Mr.
Hume and Mr. Wood promptly denied the charge
and challenged bis Lordship to the proof, which
was declined.
T he Pope’s Nuncio, and all the foreign ambas
sadoi and ministers at Paris, have congratulated
the king upon his deliverance from the attempt
made upon bis life in the palace of the Thuilleries, I
on the 27th of January. A person named Neveu, I
once a merchant, then a broker, and afterwards !
a bankrupt, was arrested in the street, as being i
■ the author of the plot. It was ascertained that :
j be had bought several small packages of powder, j
: At the moment he was entering the office of the
commissary for examination, attended by two 1
police officers, when passing into the narrow cor
ridor which leads to it, he cut his throat with a 1
j razor which he had concealed about his clothes, ;
arid by a movement so quick that it was impos
sible to stop him. He expired immediately.
Several small packets, containing a whitish pow
der, which is supposed to be poison, have been
found upon him ; and a belt, which contained a
considerable sum in gold. The Chambers of
Peers and Deputies have presented addresses to
the Icing on this occasion, expressive of their in
dignation at the late attempt on his life, their de
termination to rally around the throne, and their
confidence that the machinatians of the ill-dispo
sed will he frustrated.
The reader will perceive by our extracts, that
the trouble has not ceased with the death of Ne
veu. Paris is kept in a state of continual agita
tion, by the numerous explosions of gunpowder
in the most publick parts of the city.
The latest intelligence from Madrid gives us to
understand, that the affairs of Spain are still in a
very unsettled state, and that several of the local
authoiities in different provinces had been arrested
and sent.to prison. The late elections appear to
have been conducted in the roost tumultuous
manner. Letters from Rome announce, that the
conduct of the Revolutionary Government of
Spain has created the greatest sensation in’ that
metropolis.
A London paper of the 4th, says :—A report
1 was current yesterday, that his Majesty intended
to sacrifice a- part of his income, and that he bad
graciously declared his intention of complying
with the wishes of his people, for the restoration ol
her Majesty’s name in the Liturgy.
We understand, that in consequence of the dif
ficulties arising respecting the acuiissioti of the
Queen’s name in the Liturgy, an intermediate
course is to be adopted, tile introduction of a
prayer into the Church service, in which the
names of the Queen and the Duke of York will
be inserted.—The wording of the prayer, it is
added, is already determined.
We understand that his Majesty’s coronation is
positively fixed for the 18th of June next, the
anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board the
U. S. frigate Congress, to Ids father dated,
’ Chumf.-Pke, near Canton, Nov. 15.
11 By the arrival of a ship yesterday irom Manil
la, we received a most melancholy account of the
massacre of the foreigners there by (lie Indians.
The cause of this bloody procedure, it is said,
was this:—the cholera morbus had been raging
there for sometime past, arid most of the foreign
ers, influenced by the best motives, were admin
istering medicines to check it. From the death
of some who had received these medicines, they
took up the strange notion that poison had been
given them; and they-, therefore determined to
try the experiment, and siezed on a French phy
sician, in the streets, who always carried his med
icines about him ; and on examining him, they
found several bottles, one of which contained
laudanum ; this they tried on a dog, and found
that it killed him, which confirmed their suspi
cions, and roused their fury to the highes.t pitch.
They commenced with the poor physician, and
extended it to every foreigner they could lay their
hands on, not only Europeans, Sic. but even the
poor Chinese were victims—thirty-five of the
former and eighty- of the latter were out to pieces,
whilst the goveruour of Manilla, with six thousand
troops at his command, stood trembling by, with
out attempting to interpose. Amongst the rest,
the fate of midshipman Wilson, formerly of the
Macedonian, was peculiarly distressing. He had
left the Macedonian on account of ill health, and
had arrived at Canton on his way home; his in
tention was to have joined us, and therefore took
passage for Manilla, where we then were, and
arrived the very day we sailed. On the day of
the insurrection, he was informed that a friend of
bis was in danger ; he sallied out with two others,
for the purpose of attempting his rescue, and him
self met with ihe late from which he wished to
save another.”
It appears by recent accounts from Caraccas,
via Havana, that the armistice entered into be
tween Gen. Morillo and Gen. Bolivar, has been
prolonged, at the instance of Don Miguel de la
Torre, the successor of Gen. Morillo, and that
Gen. Bolivar has also consented to the appoint
ment of two Commissioners, on the part of the
j government of Columbia, (Messrs. Echevaria and
Revenga) who had sailed for Spain, for the pur
pose of terminating, by negociution, the horrid
war which has so long desolated those provinces.

Horrible and Mysterious Murder !
Norfolk, Va. March 21.
We have seldom read, either in the annals of
real life or in the pages of romance, of deeds of
blood and horrour equal in atrocity and shocking
circumstances to one which has just fallen under
our notice, the particulars of which as far as we
have been able to collect them, we here lay be
fore our readers i
About the first of this month, two Frenchmeu
came to this place from Baltimore, and rented a
small dwelling house in a retired situation, near
i Plume’s rope-walk, but seldom made use of it,
and then only at night. Their mysterious move
-1 ments excited considerable curiosity in the neigh
bourhood, and even suspicions not altogether la
! vourable to them.
j Yesterday morning these two men and a third,
i were observ ed to be in the bouse, and between
! nine and ten o’clock a Mrs. Lester, residing in an
\ adjoining tenement, was alarmed by a sudden
! cry, which seemed to he the cry of • murder / !
! Some time after, two of the men left the house, i
Mrs. Lester, under the conviction that there was j
something amiss going on in the house, related I
the circumstauces to a constable, who entered the J
house, and discovered a spectacle truly horrible
and revolting to every feeling of humanity. In a
chamber of the second story, was extended on
the floor the naked trunk of a human being, di
vested of its head and limbs, and in the fire place j
lay the head, feet aud hands, burnt almost to cin
ders ! The arms were separated from the body at
the shoulder joints, aud again divided at the el
bow's ; and the legs cut apart at the joints of the
knees—indeed the whole infernal separation ap
peared to be performed by a skilful surgeon. The |
limbs thus separated, were thrown together in a |
bucket. On the floor lay an axe, besmeared with i
blood, with which the diabolical authors of this .
| foul massacre had dispatched their victim, and
two butcher knives, which had served the office |
J of dissection.
j A coroner’s inquest was immediately summoned
I —but no evidence appeared which could in the (
slightest degree criminate any known individual, j,
■ Neither the name of the deceased nor that of his
\ companion could he ascertained with certainty, |
; and all the account that could be given of them (
; amounted to no more than what we have before
stated, except that they had been seen the night
before at a house of no good repute in Church-st. .
and the verdict of the Jury was, as a matter of ‘
course, “ Wilful murder by some person or per- j |
sons unknown.” I .
There was no furniture of any kind in the
house, save a few articles of bedding, and two ;
trunks. What then could have been the purpose
of these people in taking the house ?
In one of the trunks were a number of articles
of valuable clothing ; in the other a number of
valuable watches, watch chains and sundry arti
cles of jewelry. On the floor, too, was an elegant
gold patent lever watch. The object in commit
ting the murder could not have been plunder, or
the murderers would have secured these valuables.
What then could have been the motive ? We can
imagine no other but revenge.
In one of the trunks was found a masonick di- |
plorna, from the Grand Lodge of Maryland, filled i
up in the name of Peter Lagoardette, and dated j
City of Baltimore, 21st Dec. 1820. But whether]
that was the name of the deceased, or of his com-1
panion, or indeed of either of them is a matter of!
uncertainty.

are taken, and are now undergoing an examina

STILL LATER.
Murder confessed. —Manuel Philip Garcia, one
of the two Spaniards committed to our jail for
the murder of Peter Lagaudelte, has made a con
fession of the facts, and circumstances of that
horrid transaction to the Mayor, but as the case
is to be brought before the examining Court to
day, we forbear for the present to detail them.
All that we feel ourselves at liberty to state is,
that the confession goes to acquit the confessor,
while it fixes the whole upon bis comrade, whose
real name he says is Demar Garcia Castiiano.
No other motive is suggested tor the perpetration
of the murder than a quarrel of some month’s
standing between Laguadette and Castiiano, re
specting a girl in Baltimore, by the name of Biu
n ey.
It was expected that this man’s confession
would have developed other crimes and led to
the discovery of their agents; but he has impli
cated no individual but Castiiano.— Nor. Herald.
A Ncw-York paper states that in many shops
in that city, ardent spirits is sold at one cent a
glass. A barber, who shaves fer sis cents, gives
a glass of liquor in the bargain, and has as many
customers as he can serve. With 1600 licensed
dram shop o , and liquor retailed at two cents a gill,
what can be expected but a constant increase of
intemperance, morality and pauperism.
u When at Milan, (says the R.ev. Mr. Berrien,
a late American traveller in Italy,) I inquired at
a store where they sold pictures and antiques, for
a small specimen of basso relievo, observing that
it would be a curiosity in America. The remaik
diverted the shop-keeper from the sale es his goods.
He broke out into an animated eulogium of our
country, and listened with an inquisitive eager
ness to every thing that was said of it. Then
comparing our prosperity and treedom with their
poverty and humiliation, his countenance fell, his
voice changed, and he seemed to be oppressed
by feelings which he could not refrain from betray
ing to a stranger. “ Commerce,” said he, “is
perishing—ltaly now hangs down her head—if a
boy sings too loud in the streets he is imprisoned
—and a domination which we abhor we are still
obliged to respect and obey. America,” he add
ed, “ is the common subject of conversation at
the coffee-houses.”

Mr. Albert Anderson of New York, being
about to retire into the country, offers for sale
what he terms a proportion of his real estate.—
He enumerates eighteen houses, and warehouses,

We should suppose the gentleman, in|Ml proba
bility, could afford to retire from business, even if
this was a considerable portion of his estate.
The whole number of boats which passed the

Died, at Trieste, Dec. 25, of consumption,
count Fouche, Duke of Otranto, formerly Senator
of France, and Bonaparte’s Minister of the Inte
'< riour. His talents are known to the world. He
filled a large space during the French Revolution,
and voted for the death of Louis 16th. After the
return of Louis 18th, he was reappointed minis
ter of the interiour, and it was during his admin
istration that the Proscription Lists were passed.
On this occasion a laeouick correspondence took
place between him and Carnot, the Ex-Minister
of War. Fouche, as minister, directed Carnot to
leave Paris, on which Carnot wrote :
“ Traitre ! Ou veux tu queje me retire ? Car
not. [Where do you wish me to retire to, trai
tor ?]
And the answer was returned :
“ Ou tu voudras, Imbecile.— Otranto.”
[“ Where you please, Fool.]
Afterwards Fouche, as a Regicide, was exp. 1-
Jed France, and has resided in different part- of
the Austrian dominions, and died as above. His
last words to his wife were, “ Now you may re
turn to France.”

Augusta. April 4fh, 1821. 3w46
The following notice of the above work is
from the Edinburgh Review for August 1320 :
“ M bile we are upon the subject of American
literature, we think ourselves called upon to state,
that we have lately received two Numbers, being
those for January and April last, of ‘ The North
American Renew, or Miscellaneous Journal,’
published quarterly at Boston, which appears to
us to be by tar the best and most promising pro
j duction of the press of that country that has ever
come to our hands. It is written with great spir
| it, learning and ability, on a great variely of sub
j jeets ; and abounds with profound and original
discussions on the most interesting topicks.—
Though abundantly patriotic!!, or rather national,
there is nothing offensiv e or absolutely unreasona
ble in the-tone of its politicks; and no very rep
rehensible marks either of national partialities or
antipathies. The style is generally pood, though
with considerable exceptions—and sins oflener
from affectation than ignorance. But the work
is of a powerful and masculine charade r, and is
; decidedly superiour to any thing of the kind that
existed iu Europe 20 years ago.
“ It is a proud thing for us to see Quarterly Re
views propagating bold truths and original specu
. lotions in all quarters ol the world ; and when we
i grow old and stupid ourselves, we hope still to be
I honoured in the talents and merits of those heirs
of our principles and children of pur example.”
