from 30 to 40 are under conviction. Du 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. JOHN CLARK. In the House of Representatives yesterday, after the Governour’s communication and the documents accompanying it had been read, a committee was appointed to jpin such as should be appointed by the Senate, to take into conside ration and report on the disposition of the land, &c. 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. FROM CALCUTTA. An arrival at Salem from Calcutta, has put the Editor of the Salem Register in possession of Cal cutta papers from the Ist of November to the 22d December last. The Chinese succession has not beep publickly declared to the Chinese, but the senior son alive, that is the Chinese manner of describing him, “ No. 2” [the eldest, or No. 1, having died] is declared and known at the Factory. The late einperour was in his 65th year. 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 cinity ! ! ! A private letter from Bombay, r&ived at Cal cutta, states, that a Dingey had ju’ arrived from Muscat, bringing news of the failuj of an expe dition sent into the iuteriour to croperate with the troops of the Imam, in the rediction of a fort. The loss on the part of the British is said to have heen severe. Iron masts are about to be adopted in the British Navy. Mr. Bell, the original inventor has lately removed all the objections urged against them. The friends of the patriotick Gen. Kospiusco have determined to apply to General Fayette, in France, Earl Grey in England, and Mr. Jefferson, in America, to collect subscriptions to complete the projected monument of his memory. The orphan ueices of the General are also to he pro vided for. The cost will he 40,000 florins—l7,ooo have been subscribed in Poland. Letters have been received at Bostop from Constantinople, dated Oct. 20th, after the arrival of Mr. Bradisb there. They announce that the Turks are very desirous to make a treaty with i our government. One of the letters is'from the j Neapolitan Charge d’Affairs. [Palladium. In tbepubliok market oi Boston, (Eng.) a man ! of the name of Wm. Riley, a ditcher, lately 1 brought his wife to the market-cross with a halter; round her neck, and sold her to a person named Caro, efi New Bolingbroke, for the small sum of one shilling—returning to thebuyer eleven pence for luck ! The purchaser tvho hss a wife and five children living, sold her agajn at Horncastle on Saturday, the 27th nit. Alexandria, D. C. April 21. 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. [Herald. Oliver Wolcott is re-elected Governour, and Jonathan Ingersoll Leutenant Governour of the state of Connecticut, without opposition. Population of Delaware —By the fourth cen sus of the state of Delawtre, it appears that the population amounts to 72,V49 —being an increase of only 75 souls for the last 10 years. A vast number of adventurers are bound to Florida, to make or try to make their fortunes. Pensacola, it is supposed, become the most important harbour on the ctast, both for the sale and shipment of American produce. It is more convenient than New-Orlehns for a number of reasons, and at the same time is one of the most healthy situations on the gulph of Mexico. Com. Rogers, it is surmised, will be made the naval i commander on that station, to reside at Pensaco la.—Boston Gas. From the Washington (Pa.) Examiner. Another Solemn Warning !—On the evening i of Saturday the 24th ult. a nost melancholy cas ualty occurred in the family of Mr. Daniel John son, a respectable farmer o’ Morris township, in this county. His son, a lid about 15 years of age, had just returned fron hunting, and while carrying his rifle, which wa left charged, across the room to a place of safety, had necessarily to pass close by a weaver’s lo®i, against which the trigger of the gun touched, vhen she went ofl and shot his sister Sarah dead u|on the spot! the ball passed through the head at tie temples. The de ceased was about 17 years c’age, amiable and in teresting, and but a momen before was the pride and consolation of her partnts in their declining years. PRICES CURRENT AT AUGUSTA.

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 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.
