THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1821.
It is not often in our power to furnish our read
ers with religious intelligence so interesting and
important as the account of the mission to the
Sandwich Islands, a part of which was pub
lished in the last number of our paper. This
Christian enterprise has deservedly excited, and
will continue to excite much interest inourcoun
try. Probably no expedition for evangelising the
pagan-, in which the American churches have en
gaged, has produced a deeper sensibility, or been
the subject of more ardent supplications. To
the production of this state of publick feeling,
many circumstances have contributed their influ
ence.
This mission is important in itself. The Sand
wich Island*, nine in number, and the largest of
which contains four thousand square miles , are
rich in native productions, and for a barbarous
country', densely peopled with immortal beings.
An expedition of science long since pointed them
out to the civilized world, and commerce has
made many subsequent visits to their shores.—
Their relative importance in the wcAld will con
tinue to increase os they become better known to
enterprising nations, and as their own population
rises in the scale of intelligence and wealth. At
some future day, and probably not very remote,
this cluster of islands will become far more popu
lous than at present ; —here, before the termina
tion of earthly scenes, millions and millions of
immortal beings will spend their probationary pe
riod, and thence enter upon the retributions of
an unchanging world.• If the salvation of the
soul is as precious as it is represented in the
Scriptures; if the whole world be no compensa
tion for its loss—if its redemption brought the
immaculate Jesus a victim to the cross—if angels
rejoice over one sinner that repenteth, then to
plant the Gospel, and build churches, and point
out the way to heaven in these pagan isles, is a
work of the first importance. It is an act of char
ity which shall ever lire upon the records of the
church, and receive the approbation of heaven.
The field which is here opened, is entirely new.
It is even now a spiritual desert. Here is a wil
derness where the rose neither buds nor blossoms ;
and here are solitary places which were never
made glad by the voice of redeeming love. Their
groves have been given to idols; their altars have
smoked with the blood of human victims ; and
their dense and luxuriant forests have been the
range of demons, and not the walks of guardian
angels. It is through this mission that the light
first breaks in upon this land of darkness. Our
American Missionaries enjoy the honourable dis
tinetbn of erecting the banner cf the Lord in
these isles, and of publishing salvation to these
aD.ns from the kingdom of God. But let it not
he supposed, that this is a wild expedition. The
finger of heaven has pointed out this field of la
bour, and the voice ofheaven, by the plainest in
timations of Providence, has said to the little
band of Missionaries, “ Go up and possess this
land of promise.” A circumstance which im
presses a peculiar feature upon this undertaking,
is that seieral natc.es of these islands have ac
companied the Missionaries in their visit to this
benighted region. They were cast upon our
shores by what might be called human casualty ;
but a wise Providence directed all their steps. —
The sympathies of the Christian church were ex
cited in their behalf—they were rescued from
want and raised from degradation—they were in
structed in science and religion, and the blessing
of God attended these well directed efforts.—
Pome of these lost sheep were brought into the
fold of Christ. The land of these sons of nature
was not forgotten. The same piety which had
cherished them, thought upon the country from
which they came, and resolved to send them the
blessings of the Gospel. Prayer was followed by
exertion, and a little band of spiritual warriours
was soon fitted nut to wrest from the power of
the god of this world another province, and to
annex it to the kingdom of Christ. These circum
stances—the newness of the field, and the prov
idences which led to its occupation, must excite
a more than common interest in the fate of this
mission. We can hardly fail to. read in some of
these facts a prophecy of future success. It is im
possible to contemplate the seat of this mission
without being sensible of some emotions which
are more easily felt than expressed. Had these
missionaries gone to settle in these islands for any
other purpose than to publish the Gospel, and to
rescue their miserable inhabitants from sin and
death, an air of romance would be thrown around
the whole transaction. These little insular spots
are situated in the midst of the Grrat Pacifick,
remote from the land of civilization and piety,
with a wide world of waters around them. To
these abodes the Christian can never follow them
with a cold heart. There is every thing in their
present situation to create the deepest interest.
The associations of the past and present and fu
ture, rush upon the mind, and designate the mis
sion family of the Sandwich Islands as the ob
jects of the tenderest Christian affection and of
the most ardent prayers. We have not forgotten,
and we can never forget the parting scene when
they sundered the ties of country and kindred to
obey the imperative call of duty, and committed
themselves to the protection of Israel’s God who
has guii> 1 them in safety to their destined field of
labour. They were followed by the prayers of
the Church, while driven by the winds and drifted
by the waves, —and with the most affectionate
solicitude have their brethren in America bu n
looking for intelligence of their arrival and estab
lishment oniong the heathen to whom they have
consecrated their future lives. And in their pre
sent situation in the land of barbarians, the Chris
tian will continue to feel and pray for them. At
the throne of grace the Sandwich Mission will
not be forgotten. We shall remember their sa
crifices and their trials--and importune the God
of mercy to make them useful. We shall unite
for the support of those who regardless of personal
■ accommodation, have left the sanctuaries of their
native land and the place of their father's sepul
dk-et, so explore foreitt which cover heard “ the
sound of the church-going bell,” and to cultivate
extended wastes which till of late, at least, never
“ smiled when a Sabbath appeared.”
‘1 he Head of the church has already smiled
upon the incipient efforts of this mission. The
abolition of idolatry in these islands, which took
place before the arrival of the Missionaries, is
worthy of special notice. “This is the Lord’s
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.” While
we believe it was done in answer to prayer, we
may look upon it as an intimation of a future
blessing. Such a change as this in a whole nation
of savages and idolaters, is no common event.—
Perhaps this is the first instance which the history
of the world has afforded where the whole sys
tem of pagan worship has given way, except the
revolution were effected by Christian instruction.
Here the secret providences of God operating
upon the understandings of men has led them to
remove with their own hands one of the grand
obstacles to the success of the Gospel. The gods
iu whom they just now confided, have either been
transported as curiosities, or committed to the
flames. In every point of view we consider this
event auspicious. It is not to be supposed, that
these islanders will live without some form of reli
gion ; and as their idols are now abolished, and
Christian missionaries among them, we may con
fidently expect that they will look to Jesus Christ
as their refuge.
The reception of the Missionaries was as en
couraging as could be expected. That the na
tives should feel some jealousy of those who vis
it them from distant and civilized countries is to
be looked for on every principle of rational calcu
lation. Snperiour power and intelligence have
too often been employed for the purpose of cir
cumventing and oppressing the ignorant and de
fenceless. Even Christian nations lie under a
heavy reproach in this particular. The heaven,
in a multitude of cases must rise up in judgment
against them. Instead of being led to a life of ho- j
liness by the example and instructions of those
who have enjoyed the light of revelation, they
have been made the instruments of ministering to
their corruption and avarice. Poverty and
vitude have not unfrequently■ been introduced
among benighted pagans by those who sailed un
der the pretended banner of the Cross. It is a
fact, that those heap-en who live upon the bor
ders of Christian nations have the strongest pre
judices against religion. This is no great com
pliment to Christianity, but it is too true to meet
with a denial. On this score we have little to
dread in the present mission. The authorities of
the islands and (he people in general appear!
to be disposed to favour the plans which are now !
in operation to instruct and to save them.
The letters from the King and Queen of
Afooi, which are printed in this day’s paper can
not be perused with indifference ; and we hope,
ncl confidently believe, that the Christian pub
lick will continue to feel that deep and permanent
interest in this mii.rion, which is indispensable to
ultimate success.
! Extract of a letter from a Clergyman in South
Carolina, to one of the Editors, dated April
1-1, 1821.
“ 1 have just returned from a meeting of the
Presbytery of South Carolina. We had a full
meeting, and transacted some important business.
Presbytery ordained on Saturday, the 7th inst.
three young brethren, viz.—Solomon Ward, John •
Wilson, and Michael Dickson; Messrs. Ward
and Wilson as missionaries, and Mr. Dickson as
pastor of Nazareth and Fairview. The congrega
tions on Friday, Saturday, and Sabbath, were
large and solemnly attentive. A few were added
to the visible church. Let us hope that many of
them have their names recorded in the Lamb’s
book of life, and will yet shine as stars in the fir
mament ofheaven.”

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
New York, April 17.
By the ship James Munroe, from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on the 2d of March,’ Liverpool
papers to that date have been received, and Lon
don papers to the 28th of February.
The news from Italy is important. The Nea
politan parliament has rejected the terms pro
posed by the allied sovereigns, with the utmost I
indignation. The Pope [his Holiness, we should ,
have said] has issued a proclamation of neutrality; 1
and expressing his wish that the troops passing
through his kingdom may- keep away- from his)
capital. “ This sentiment,” the Statesman says, I
“ appears to have been expressed with a view !
to check not the Austrians, but the Neapolitans, j
who were much on the advance. One body of’
the latter., composed of regular troops, of 45,000
men were close to the frontier; and another of
40,000 were occupying a different line. The
numbers of the Austrian army are stated in pri
vate accounts to be grossly exaggerated. Their
whole force is said not to exceed 100,000 ; while
that of the Neapolitans, including militia, on
whom great reliance is placed, as being composed
of Carbonari, are said to amount to nearly 160,000
men. The British squadron is still in the Bay of
Naples, but was said to be about to leave it,
either for Civita Vechia, or the coast of Sicily,
f’he king of Naples was expected to remain at
Venice until the fate of Naples was decided. In
the mean time he has the mortification to learn
that the parliament of Naples iost no time in vo
ting his declaration at Laybach to be invalid, as
his royal person was under restraint, and his I
royal'mind, it might be presumed, under con-j
straint, when he issued his directions.” It is
also stated by gentlemen latte from Italy, that all
the Italian states under the dominion of Austria,
are quite ripe foi throwing off its yoke.
Letters from France speak of great disquietude ;
and alarm among the people, and represent the i
situation of the Bourbons as becoming daily more !
critical. In a debate of the .Secret Committee,
it is said that the army was declared to be disaf- j
fected. The same letter, however, speaks of a j
threat, on the part of Spain, of a declaration of j
WRr against France, in case the policy of the lat- !
ter be not immediately changed, with regard to
Spain and Naples. This is quite improbable in
the presen* situation of Spain.
W e hear very little from the Queen. The pub
lick pulse is not very ferverish upon the subject.
The Times mentions only one display at Bruiden
burgh House, at which a number of addresses
were presented, and a number of ladies and gen
tlemen the honour of kissing her Majesty’s ,
195
hand.” - There appears to he little disposition in
the House of Lords to agitate the Liturgy ques
tion. indeed, even the Marquis of Lansdowne, i
while discussing the annuity bill said, he had in 1
private expressed his opinion to his noble friend
[Lord Darnley] that it would not be wise to di
vide the house on the topick of the Liturgy. In
doing so he was guidgd by the consideration that •
all discussions on a question of this nature ought
to be avoided when It could lead to no practical
result. |
During the debate ]n the House of Lords on the
20th Feb. on the Queen’s Annuity bill both sides
of the House concurred in the opinion that her
majesty had been illfidvised in refusing the mo
ney which parliament had voted her, till her name
had been restored to the Liturgy. On the 22d, ’
the bill received its third and final reading in the
House of Lords and was passed.
Washingl on's Birth Day. —The birth-day of
General Washington was celebrated at the New-
Englaml Coflee house, Threadntedle street, Lon
don, on the 22d of February. A large party of
American Gentlemen assembled on the occasion,
and partook of a most elegant and sumptuous
dinner, Which was served up iu the highest style.
Various patriotick toasts were given in the course
of the evening, and the company retired highly
gratified with the feelings called forth by the pro
ceedings of the day.

INVASION OF JYjPLES.
By an extraordinary courier which left Naples 1
on the 11th inst, letters have been received from
thence, and from other cities on the route, which
contain the most recent intelligence relative to l
the invasion of Naples. The courier was much
retarded on his journey by the difficulty of pro- j
curing horses, caused by the advance of the Aus- J
frian army. We subjoin extracts from the f
letters:—
Naples, Feb. 11.
“ The Dnke de Gallo arrived on the 9th with i
the ultimatum, of the allsovereigns. On the :
outside of the city-gate he entered his private ;
carriage, and proceeded immediately to the I'ar-!
liament, who, according to instructions previously
given by him, were already- assembled. Before 1
he could finish reading the ultimatum of the;
Congress of Laybach, he was interrupted by reit- j
crated cries of ‘ War ! War! W’ar ” from all parts ‘■
of the assembly. I have not seen a copy of the j
ultimatum, but learn that the following are the |
| principal points contained in it:
1. That the Neapolitans shall abandon the
Spanish constitution and adopt that of the British
nation, with some corrections and modifications
suitable to Naples.
2. I hat during the period while this re-orga
nization shall be effecting, and for six years after
wards, the capital of the kingdom of the Two
Sicilies, and all the fortresses shall be occupied by
Austrian garrisons.
3. On these conditions a general amnesty will \
be accorded. And,
4. The pay and subsistence of the Austrian j
troops will not be at the charge of the Neapolitan j
nation.
T he circulation of the terms of the ultimatum !
in Naples produced the highest degree of excite- j
! ment in the publick mind. Every man is ready
! to die in defence of the liberties of the country,
j The military dispositions are proceeding with the
; greatest activity.
REPUEIACK OF COLOMEIA.
Important Kews—termination of the Armistice.
Advices, o* a recent date, from the Spanish
Main, have arrived at Philadelphia—and by the
official intelligence published in the Aurora, we
learn that the armistice concluded in November
last, between the president, general Bolivar, and
i the Royalist general Morfllo, has not been per
mitted to run the stipulated six months. In
March, Bolivar gave notice to gen. La Porre,
who had succeeded NTorillo in (he command of
the ft -yal army, that the armistice was to be
considered as at an end, and of course the war
recommence? on the 28th of April, forty days
after the notification, according to one of the ar
ticles of the treaty. This is announced in two
proclamations addressed by- general La Torre to
■ iiis army, and to the inhabitants of Caraccas. |
He, as a matter of course, accuses Bolivar of bad !
faith, and that he has been induced to the rupture i
of the armistice, in consequence of the reports 1
and misrepresentations of bad men, or in more
intelligible language, that the inhabitants of Ca
raccas have intimated to-the President an anxie
ty to be relieved from their royal oppressors, and
their solicitude forthe arrival of the Republican
troops in their city.
This we believe to b# the fact, yet not the
, ground upon v-hich Bolivar has thought it expe-;
| dient to terminate the armistice—The truth is, 1
the Royal authorities had violated that treaty in a
variety of ways, and particularly in keeping the
Spanish Squadron at La Gnyra in the teeth of an
1 express stipulation.—Of the success of the patri
ots in the coming contest we entertain not the
slightest doubt, and that every man in this free
, country must wish them complete success is not
less certain.—VA’e look with confidence to set the
whole of the new a bright example to the old
world. [Balt. Fed. Oaz.

tence we ought to recognize an impressive lesson ;
and, if we hesitate to profit by the dreadful exam
ples which are so frequently forced upon our at
tention, and still give the rein to revengeful pas
sions, the opportunity and power to check them
may be lost. [Georgian.
Savannah, April 24.
Pursuant to publick notice, a meeting was held
at Girodon’s Hall on Saturday evening hist, the
21st inst. to take into consideration the propriety
of discontinuing the receiving of dismes for more
• than their lawful value.
Whereas, the receiving of monies at a nominal
ahove the lawful value must prove prejudicial to
a community, and it being a fact that this com
munity are receiving dismes far shove their lawful
value, in consequence of which a system of spec
ulation is practised, and increasing daily, so that
if a stop is not put to the progress of the evil,
there is reason to believe that we shall have no
I other money in circulation among us, and by this
1 we must ultimately sustain great loss ;
If is therefore resolved, that we will no longer
receive dismes for more than their lawful value, 1
And that the same be published in the Gazettes
| of this city.

Extract of a letter from an officer of the U. S.
Frigate Macedonian, dated Calao, Nov. 11,
1820.
1 On the night of the 6th inst. at half past twelve,
lord Cochrane sent in fourteen boats to cut out
a Spanish frigate (the Esmeralda) of 36 guns.
She was lying within musket shot of the batteries,
with 18 gun boats, and two brigs of 18 guns each,
around her. He succeeded in gaining possession
of her in about fifteen minutes. We lay about
half a cable’s length astern of her. As soon as
he had cut her cables and paid her head off shore,
the batteries, castles, hulks, and in fact every
thing that could mount a gun, began to play away
upon her, upon us, and even upon the inoffensive
merchantmen in the harbour. We and all the
American and English merchantmen immediately
slipped our cables, and as the wind was very light
it was some time before we could get out of the j
reach of their guns. It appeared to me that they
pointed their guns particularly at us. The shot
flew about us thicker than if we had been engaged
with a vessel of the same force, within musket
shot. But, as is usual with cowards, they were
too much confused to take deliberate aim, other
wise they would have sunk us in ten minutes.
The only injury we received was our cross jack
yard shot away with a little of the running rig
ging. Immediately on slipping our cables we
paid the ship’s head the contrary way to the Es
meralda’s, and kept her so until out of gunshot,
at least half a mile apart; so that it is self-evi
dent, there could be no mistake in their firing at
us. If any other proof was wanting, the fact
that we picked up at least a dozen musket balls
| on board after the affair, would immediately set it
at rest.
On the morning of the 7th, was sent, as usual,
Ia boat ashore *o market, with Mr. Marshall, mid
-1 shipman, of New York, and nine men; when the
, boat’s crew were ordered to toss their oars by
j Mr. M. being close to the wharf, the soldiers on
■ guard fired into her; killed Mr. M. and four of
the men ; four more badly- wounded, and one on
ly escaped to bring the news. Those who were
• not killed or wounded at first were pelted while
’ in the water with stones, by these blood thirsty
; villains. There is no excuse for them ; there
| could he no mistake ; the American flag was fly-
I ing in her—the same boat went ashore every
■ morning. The crew were selected as being the
] most trusty and peaceable men in the ship. Mr.
! Marshall was selected that morning, as particular
I confidence could be placed in him, though but a
j boy of perhaps eighteen. It is impossible for me
to describe the sensations this affair has caused on
board ; the feelings of all are almost wound up to
i ffenzy for . their murdered shipmates, and ’he in
! dignity offered to our flag. But 1 have not yet
i done.
On the morning of the 9th, the schooner Rain
j part, of Baltimore, got under way, by agreement
i with the authorities on shore to receive her cargo.
! Immediately on her coming within gun shot of
i the castles, they opened on her with all the ves
| sels, giin-boats, &c. in the harbour. The cap
| tain and officers (as there was but little wind and
j that right on shore) immediately abandoned her,
j and she sunk before the numerous gun-boats &e.
who valiantly came out to take her, could get
her on shore. We -now communicate with the
shore but by flag of truce—l hope we shall com
municate no other way. At the time Mr. Mar
shall was murdered. Captain Downes and Mr.
Rodgers were in Lima. On Capt. Downes’ pas
sing the Vice Roy’s palace, several officers and
citizens were heard to say, “ There goes the ras
| cal, we will have his blood next.” The excuses
made by the government for all these outrages, is
that they were committed by an enraged popu
lace. 1 have before heard of mobs committing
the greatest excesses, resisting the civil and mili
tary power, flying in the fice of justice ; but nev
er until now did I hear of a mob which at the
most could not consist of 1500 men, taking pos
session of castles, armed vessels, batteries, Sec.
defended bv at least 3000.
Capt. Downes and Mr. Rodgers had to disguise
themselves to get on board. Captain D. left all
his baggage and two servants in Lima; whether!
he will ever get them or not is uncertain.
P. S. A flag of truce has just come off which !
I brings the news that Mr. Marshall is not dead,but j

Last week a little boy of Mr Benjamin Cope’s,

out of the kitchen w indow, holding by his hands,.
and dropping to the ground, a small distance,
which did not hurt him; and now the little fel
low full of life, was all unconscious of the differ

to the room, when the child threw himself out,
as he had been wont to do, liangine alone by his
little hands, laughing that she could not catch j
him—Who can describe the agony of a mother’s j

nothing but the slender hold of his infant hands— ;
three stories from the ground and therefore over i
apparently inevitable destruction.
The mother could scarcely speak ere he fell.
Was it an angel’s wing that buoyed up and broke
his fall ? Extraordinary as it may appear—he did
not break a limb; but he fell on the earth be
tween two stones, and was so little bruised, that
in an hour he was running again playful as ever, j

The following notice of the above work is
; from the Edinburgh Review for August 1820 :
i “ While we are upon the subject of American
literature, we think ourselves called upon to state,
tha! we have lately received two Numbers, being
those for January and April last, of 11 The North
American Review , or Miscellaneous Journal
published quarterly at Boston, which appears to
us to be by far the best and most promising pro
; 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 variety of sub
jects ; and abounds with profound and original
. discussions on the most interesting topicks.—
Though abundantly patriotick, or rather national,
there is nothing offensive or absolutely unreasona
ble in the tone of its politicks ; and no very rep
rehensible marks either of national partialities or
antipathies. ‘I he style is generally good, though
with considerable exceptions—and sins oftener
from affectation than ignorance. But the work
is of a powerful and masculine character, and is
decidedly snperiour to any thing of the kind that
existed in Europe 20 years ago.
“ It is a proud thing for us to see Quarterly Re
views propagating bold truths and original -pecu
lations in ail quarters of the world ; and when we
grow old and stupid ourselves, we hope still to be
honoured in the talents and merits of those heirs
of our principles and children of our example.”
