ringl this interesting state of things, the
indigent young men, who are educating for
thegosjiel ministry, have been particularly
useful. Indeed, that portion of students
may be said, with truth, to have contributed
in a good degree, to that moral elevation
of character to which this favoured semina
ry has advanced.
In no instance, where a revival has be
gun, have l learned that it has ceased.
When the labours and prayers of Christians
are great, then the revival is great; when
these labours and prayers are slackened,
then the revival appears to be at a stand
I hope, sir, that we shall soon hear the
chopping intelligence that a great revival is
spreading over your city. Nothing is
wanting to produce this blessing, but a
great and united effort of ministers and
churches. Let them labour and pray ; and
at the same time let them really believe
“that God is more willing to give his Holy
Spirit to them that ask him, than parents
yire to give good gifts to their children,”
‘and the blessing will descend.
THE MISSIONARY
MOUNT ZION, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1821.
The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be
administered in the Church in this plaee, next
Sabbath. Preparatory exercises will commence
on the Saturday previous at 12 o’clock.
On Monday last, about 4 o’clock in the after
noon, a severe and destructive storm of hail, ac
companied by thunder and heavy rain, was ex
perienced in the vicinity of this place, which we
are sorry to learn has done considerable damage,
particularly to cotton. We are not apprized of
the extent of the injury sustained, but are told
the crops on several plantations are entirely
ruined. The destructive violence of the hail was
confined to a breadth of from half to three quar- ,
ters of a mile ; but we understand it passed on
with ruinous effect into the comity of Greene.
The ground in some places was covered with ;
hail stones to the depth of tw o or three inches, j
They were not, however, of a very uncommon
size.
Legislature of Georgia.
MILLEDGERILLE, May 1.
The General Assembly of this State convened
yesterdays about two thirds of each branch being
present. At 11 o’clock, the following communi
cation from the Governour was delivered to both
houses by his Secretary :
Executive Department , Oa. )
Milledgerille. 30 ill April , 1821. j
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and
House of Representatives :
It was was made known to you at your late ses
sion, that Commissioners had been appointed by
the President of the United States to treat with
the Creek Indians, and that others had been ap
pointed on the part of the State to proceed under
his direction to demand satisfaction for property
taken by them from citizens of this State. I have
now the satisfaction informing you, that the
treaty then contemplated, has terminated in the
extinguishment ofthe Indian title to a large and
valuable territory within the limits of this state,
and that the claims against those Indians prior to
the year 1802, have been placed in a train for in
vestigation and payment. V copy ofthe Preaty
and other documents herewith communicated,
will show the extent of country acquire and. and
the situation in which the claims now stand.
Understanding that many persons were settling
on the lands, before and since the ratification of
the treaty, and believing that the expense and
inconvenience attending an extra meeting of the
General Assembly, would be inconsiderable when .
compared with the benefits that would result
from placing, as soon as possible, the eventual
owners of the soil in possession of it, and extend
ing at once the operation of our laws over the
same, 1 determined to convene the General As- •
sembiy.
The Executive has no hesitation in giving it as
his opinion, that the Lottery System should be
pursued in disposing of this territory, as being
calculate' 1 to do equal justice to the poor and to
tjfle rich, and to insure a speedy population of the
country. hilst this opinion is given he recoin- 1
mends for your consideration the making of libe
ral reservations for pubiirk purposes. Tiie in
ternal improvement ofthe state and the establish
ment of Free Schools are beneficial to all. And
although some provision has already’ been made
by the Legislature for these objects, yet it will
ho found far short of answering the purpose.-
The extension of our limits arid consequent in
crease of population are, it is conceived, addition
al reasons why this provision should be enlarged.
It will he recollected that the resolution of the
Legislature under which the commissioners on the
part ofthe state were appointed, contemplated a
negotiation with the Cherokee Indians ; the mes
sage of the President on this subject and the ap
propriation by Congress, were made with the
spine view ; it is therefore submitted for your
consideration, whether this subject shall be reviv- j
ed and again urged upon the General Govern- i
went. _ _ j
The claims against this tribe of Indians, though
small in amount, are believed to be of equal va
lidity with those against the Creeks. And the
General Government being hound by the conven
tion of 1802, to extinguish their title as well as
that of the Creek Indians, to all lands claimed by
them within our limits, as soon as it can be done
on reasonable terms, no doubt should he enter
tained of its readiness at least to make the ex
periment, w henever there are grounds for a hope
of success j and as the pressing this subject is
nothing more than asking a fulfilment of a con
tract which has been highly favourable to the U.
States, we'are not only justified, but it becomes
our duty to urge it.
Permit me to suggest your appointing some per
son on the part of the claimants to superintend
the investigation ofthe claims intended to be pro
vided for by the late treaty with the Creek In
dians.
I have the satisfaction to inform you, that the
firft year’s interest, eight thousand dollars, unier
the contract between the Executive and the
Steam Boat Company, which was laid before you
at your late session, has been paid to the State.
1 avail myself of this occasion, fellow-citizens,
to congratulate you on the cession of the Floridas
to the U. States. Although the anticipated for
tune? may never he fully realized in them, yet
their acquisition to the Union, and to this State
in particular, is of vast importance. They will no
longer be the rendezvous or asylum for the smug
gling and piratical adventurer of every nation,
nor the secure retreat for the lawless and ungov
ernable of onr own State. A further cause of
congratulation is, that Gen. Andrew Jackson.the
man of all others who should have been preferred,
has the government of that territory; while his
name carries terror to the lawless and disaffected,
it ensures safety and protection to the orderly
and well disposed citizen.

F oreignand Domestick Intelligence.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Baltimore, April 25.
By the arrival of the ship Isabella, capt. Leeds,
arrived here yesterday from Liverpool, London
papers to the 3d of March have been received.
The Cotton Market was still dull, though sales
had been effected at the date of the last accounts
at a small advance from the former prices.
The Austrian army had not yet passed the Po,
as has been heretofore stated ; but little doubt
was entertained that a resort to arms would be
the consequence of Austria’s interference in the
affairs of Naples. The Baltimore Morning Chron
icle makes the following remarks upon the news
brought by this arrival :
The Isabella brings nothing of a character de
cisive or important—there are two articles, how
ever, not unworthy of notice. It is stated that
the Neapolitans have already taken possession of
apart of the Papal territories, probably with the
intention of seizing on the magazines of war col
lected in those places ; they seem disposed to
strike the first blow, which at least serves to shew
that whatever we may think of the. Neapolitans,
oh this side the Atlantick, they do not deem,
themselves, their situation so dangerous. The
other fact, stated in the English newspapers is
this, that the Austrians had suspended their hos
tile advances until they should learn from the
Neapolitans, whether the Constitution framed by j
the allies would be adopted.
We have already seen that the king of Spain,
(and his majesty declared that he is sincere)
in his speech delivered to the Cortes, denounced
in strong and direct terms, the conduct of the I
allied monarchs towards Naples. The allies
have no assistance, therefore, to anticipate from
that quarter. From France they must likewise
hope nothing. Louis sits on the margin of a fiery
volcano ; France remembers, and deeply remem
bers, what she has suffered by European confede
rations. She knows that it was by this agency
alone, that Bonaparte was hurled from his grasp
on the sceptre, and that he now lives a wander
ing hermit on S?t. Helena. She knows that it was
by this confederacy, that Louis now holds pos- j
session of the throne of his ancestors. The French
monarch knows likewise too well, that in propor
tion as the times become moie critical, do the
legislative party attached to Bonaparte, speak
a language more decided and emphatick. There
can be therefore no reason to doubt, that the mo
ment Louis should have the temerity to join the
allied monarchs in their designs against Naples,
that tumults, riots and rebellions would take
place in France itself, and the consequence
would in all probability be, that the head of Lou
is would roll from the scaffold, and with it would
be seen the extirpation of the Bourbon dynasty.
Furthermore, let it be remarked, that England
has already declared, both in her correspondence
with the allies, and by the assertions of her minis
try, on the floor of both houses of parliament,
tliat it is her firm intention to preserve a rigid
neutrality in this controversy. A pledge so se
riously and so solemnly given, these men would
not dare wantonly to violate. Indeed, if England
does become a party, she must become hostile
to the allies, she must make a common cause
with the Neapolitans. Neither the head of the
King of England, and of his ministry, would re
main safe upon their shoulders, if they should
dare at the present crisis to prosecute hostile de
signs against Naples. In case England should be
compelled to take an active part, and it is, we
will venture to say, next to impossible, that she
can remain neutral, we must remember that she
must join in opposition to the allies, anJ we must
further remember, that Bonaparte is still in her
custody. The Corsican tiger will then probably
be let loose from his cage in St. Helena again.
Lord Castlereagh in his answer to the allies, has
in fact told all these solemn truths ; he has said
though in courtly language, that his majesty of
England views the designs of the allied monarchy
with abhorrence. His Lordship thus, in the
whimpering phraseology of courts, expresses the
opinion of the English ministry.
“ They (the British ministry) are of opinion,
that the adoption of such measures as an inter
ference in the government of Naples, would in
evitably sanction, and in the hands oflevs benefi
cent monarch?, might hereafter lead to a much
more frequent and extensive interference in the
internal transactions of states, than tjiey are per
suaded is intended from the august parties from
whom they proceed, or can be reconciled either
with the general interest or with the efficient au
thority and dignity of independent sovereigns.”
Now the plain meaning of this language is this:
Gentlemen, ministers, kings, emperours, poten
tates and dignitaries of Europe, his majesty the
king of England is afraid of your company ; he is
wondronslv apprehensive, that your successors
will, by following your own example, become dis
honourable men; he knows that you are your
selves models of perfection ; but if any one else
should do the same things that you do, tiiey would
be monsters. Gentlemen emperours, kings, sove
reigns, potentates and princes ; just cast your
eyes to St. Helena ; remember how much labour
it cost for all of us to confine this political tiger in
his cage ; remember that the English ministry are
appointed his keepers ; look how white his teeth
shine, and how he springs against the bars ; hear
the snap of his jaws ; and we very politely be
seech your allied majesties not to impose upon us
the necessity of opening the doors of his dungeon.

A letter from the eastward mentions that the
whole of the country of Siam was in a most de
plorable state, in consequence of the prevalence
lof the cholera morbus. Its ravages were so dread
: ful, that at Baucock alone, (the capital) upward?
|of 40,000 souls perished. The poorer classes of
■ Siamese had unroofed their houses for the pur
pose of admitting vultures and other birds of
prey to perform the offices of interment, and
pestilence and disease reigned throughout.
The king had convened a council of his nobles,
prieFts, and astrologers, for the purpose of ascer
taining to what cause this unprecedented sick
ness and mortality was attributable, and what
measures should lie adopted to lessen its fatality,
when they were unanimously of opinion that it
proceeded from an Evil Spirit ill the form of a fish,
who being disturbed in its usual abode in a far
uninhabited country, had sought shelter there,
and that Ihe only method to drive him away, was
to frighten him back with guns, muskets, swords,
spears, drums, gongs, Szc. in short with any thing
that made a noise or was offensive.
Accordingly, an innumerable numher of inhab
itants collacted at dawn of day, *Ung the sea
shore to put in execution” the itmrial mandate.
i Guns, muskets, and crackers w fired, drums
i and gongs beat in all directions, iff thousands of
the miserable Siamese plunged in> the sea with
spears, swords, stones, and other rssiles to com
bat with and frighten the fish, but rs ! when the
scene ended, at about 7 o’clock atielit, upwards
of seven thousand souls were left lead with the
cholera on the beach, on the watr am; the vi

Another attempt at Mail Robbery. —This morn- 1
ing about two o’clock, the driver of the Southern
mail, seven miles below thisj on his passage up,
observed three men suddenly sally from a pine
thicket and advance upon him ; one of them pre
sented a pistol which burnt priming, while tiie
driver was in the act of turning his horses. The
latter, accompanied by a passenger, who was
seated in the mail cart, drore back with speed to
the house of a person two miles off, where they
procured a gun and some assistance, and return
ed to the place where the attack had been made.
On their arrival they discovered that a fence had
been thrown across the road, ar.d at some dis
tance in the woods, two slaves of a Mr. Foote
were found who had been tied to a tree, which I
had been done to prevent alarm. The negroes |
say they were returning from the fishing shore,
when they were fallen in with by the three per
sons before mentioned. Their description of the
men corresponds with that ofthe driver, and an
swers to that of three men who staid at Nelson’s
tavern five miles below this on Friday night.
This morning three men of suspicious appear
ance were seen in town, who passed through to
the wharf, and there embarked on board the
steamboat Dandy for Washington. The post
master here immediately on the receipt of this
intelligence, dispatched an express to the post
master general there, to effect their arrest.
Sunday. —The men above referred to as having
left Alexandria for Washington in the steamboat,
were arrested there, but although the contradic
tory character of their statements as well as cir
cumstances very suspicious in their conduct, am
ply justify their commitment for further trial, yet
facts which have been recently disclosed afford a
strong presumption of their innocence in relation
to the charge on which they were apprehended.

PROPOSALS
For publishing by subscription ,
IN PENSACOLA,
The proposed seat of government for the Floridas.
A NEWSPAPER, TO BE CALLED
THE FLORIDIAN.
THE recent acquisition of the Floridas has
been hailed throughout the Union as the
attainment of an all important political desidera
tum. For although some object to the terms,
none hesitate as to the necessity for the purchase.
As yet, we know little or nothing of ’he country,
and can make but very imperfect estimates; we
have au indistinct, undefined idea of its relative,
; political and commercial importance ; hut we
are almost wholly ignorant of its soil and climate ;
we know that it connects and completes our At
-1 lantick seaboard from Passaniaquoddy to the Sa
bine ; we know that it affords several excellent
harbours; we know that it effectually excludes
foreign influence from the councils of various war
like and mischievous tribes of Indians : but we
wish further to know what are its agricultural ad
vantages, what the character of its soil, what its
produce, what the temperature and influence of
its climate, its geography, its topography, its po
litical and natural history and delineation,
j With these views the undersigned propose to
| publish a paper at Pensacola—whose main ob
ject will be the collection and diffusion of the re
j quiied information. Their earliest attention and
I most assiduous enquiry, shall be directed to these
! objects ; and they are confident in the assertion,
| that they will possess advantages, which no other
establishment can have.
The political events and changes of the gener
al government, and of the Territory of Florida,
will meet with proper attention and considera
tion.
The Floridian, will be conducted on pure
American and Republican principles ; and as
such the Editors confidently rely on the patron
age of their fellow-citizens.
They will commence publication, immediately
after the United States receive possession, and no
exertion on their part shall be wanting to render
■ their paper useful and interesting.
TERMS.
The Floridian will he published weekly on
a Super-Royal sheet with anew and elegant
type, at Five Dollars per annum—Three Dol
lars to be paid on receipt of the first number—the
balance at the expiration of six months.

PROPOSAL
Far publishing in Augustine, East Florida,
A WEEKLY PAPER,
TO BE ENTITLED
THE FLORIDA GAZETTE.
IT is the glorious tharacteristick of the age in
which we live, that the Prdss, if not the her
ald, is ahya>” attendant upon every revolu
*-i Having for it* iiiation .of
mind or the happiness of man. The Provinces or
Florida having now become a part of the territory
of the United States, it is believed that the tide of
emigration will set rapidly towards her shores, in
creasing her wealth, and filling her ports with our
enterprising and industrious fellow citizens of the
old states, and offering a home and a refuge to the
exile and the fugitive from the oppression of Eu
ropean thraldom. Favoured by nature with a
fruitful soil—abounding in articles of luxury and
commerce, and blessed with a chmate more con
genial to the constitution of the stranger and so
journer than the southern states, this section of
our country must become great and powerful, and
in time rival its neighbours in Agriculture, Com
merce and in Arts. With these impressions, and
under the belief that a well conducted Press is
one of the most powerful auxiliaries, not only t •
morality and religion, but in promoting the wr ■
fare of any particular section of country, the sub
scribers propose to publi h in the city of St, Au
gustine, a Newspaper, under the above title.
The Editors of the Gazette do not wish to make
promises, or to raise expectations which may
never be realized. It is sufficient to say that the
politicks of their publication shall be American.
and their conduct in the management shall be in
strict accordance with the maxim—
“ Open to all parties—lnfluenced by none
It will be the object of their industry and labour
to render the Gazette the vehicle of the latest in
telligence, Political, Commercial and Literary,
and no effort will be spared to render it a pleas
ine. an interesting and a valuable publication.
