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.” Archibald Young, Esq. of Laurens District, South Carolina, is an Agent for this paper.

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. Lpndon-Ftb. 28. 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. Savannah, April 20. The particulars of the trial relative to the atro cious murder at Norfolk, has been forwarded by , our correspondent there; accompanied by a no tice of another attempt to destroy the town of : Portsmouth. The prisoner, Joseph. Demar Gar cia Caslilano, has been found guilty of Murder in , the First Degree ! Manuel Philip Garcia was to take his trial on the following day. In the ‘sen 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.

By an arrival at Baltimore, from Gonaives, bringing news to the 25th of March, it appears that several leaders bad been taken, tried, and shot.

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 i wounded and in the hospital, j 13th November. i The following is an extract of a letter from the Rev. Pliny Fisk, Missionary to Jerusalem to a ! gentleman in the town of Hanover N. H. dated Scio, July 28, 1821. | “ Lady Hester L.

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.” Notice.
