THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18.
MISSIONARY ABSTRACTS.
From the different station* oecupied by our
( Missionaries, we have received, through the me
dium of “ The Missionary Herald,” some items
of religious intelligence of a later date than any
which we have heretofore presented to our read
ers. No material change has recently been ef
fected, though the interests of the Gospel in Hea
then lauds, may be considered in a state of regu
lar progression. Missions to the pagans are evi
dently gaining upon the affections and confidence ,
of Christian nations j and schemes which were
once considered visionary and roraantick, are
now cherished as rational and practicable, be- :
cause they’ have received the sanctions of actuali
experiment. Those who are best acquainted
with the history of missions—who have content-!
plated their origin and traced their progress, and ,
who draw arguments from the past for the illustra
tion of the future , have settled down upon the
confident expectation, that the spirit of the Gos
pel will become triumphant, and the kingdoms of
the earth become the kingdom of Christ.
SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The Journal of the Missionaries at this station
already published, extends down as late as July
tlie 19th, 1820. The prospect of speedy useful
ness at that period continued flattering. Mea*
sures had been taken to raise a fund for an Or
phan School , and 334 dollars have been subscrib
ed by foreigners. It is a subject of deep regret,
that adventurers to these islands have generally
been destitute of any discriminating views of the
Christian religion, and have exhibited examples
of rice rather than virtue among these illiterate
and benighted pagans. They will, no doubt, rise
up in judgment, and condemn many who have
been baptized in the name of Christ. Joseph
Banks, au intelligent and friendly native, who
has manifested a peculiar solicitude for religious
instruction, related to the missionaries the follow
ing affecting circumstance respecting the last mo
ments of the late King Tainahamaba. He stood
by the death couch of this unenlightened heathen
ruler, and heard him earnestly request an Ameri
can gentleman who was present to tell him plain
ly about the religion of the Bible, and the Chris
tian’s God. But this young native observed to
the Missionaries, with tender interest, “ He no
say any thing about it.” “ I’his,” says the
journal, “ is au unquestionable fact.”
Ta.uoree, king of Atooi and Oneehow has
taken an active part in favour of the mission, and
solicited the immediate establishment of a branch
of the mission in his own dominions. • The mis
sionaries have thought best to comply with his
request. His sou George, who has been for some
time instructed in this country, and who accom
panied the Missionaries to his native island, was
cordially received, and immediately made second
in command. Hoomehoome, (which is the real
name of George) is extremely friendly to the mis
sion, and determined to exert all his authority and
influence for the accomplishment of its objects
among the natives. The King is anxious to ac
quire useful knowledge, and is highly pleased
with the copy of the Holy Scriptures presented
to him by the American Bible Society. The King’s
interpreter is a man of intelligence, has visited
the United States, and was noticed by General
Washington, with whom he dined in the city of
New York. He cordially unites with Tamoree
and the young prince in the designs of the mission.
Few establishments among the pagans have com
menced with belter auspices, than the mission at
Atooi, which is probably before this time in active
operation. ‘
CEYLON.
The operations of the Christian Missionaries
.who have been for some time labouring in this
island, have been of late much impeded by the
bigoted and unaccommodating course pursued by
the present Lieutenant Governour. The permis
sion of Sir Robert Brownrigg, the former Govern
our of the Island, was long since obtained by the
Missionaries for the introduction of a printer and
the establishment of a p'ess as important and
necessary’ auxiliaries in the work of evangelizing
ths- heathen. Mr. Garrett was accordingly sent
out by the American Board of Commissioners
with the requisite means of effecting the wished
for object. In the mean time the government fell
into the hands of Sir Everard Barnes, who, judging
from this affair, has few of the qualifications re
quisite for a Christian ruler in this liberal and en
lightened period of the world. Mr. Garrett, the
printer, was ordered to leave the Island within
three months; —and uo arguments or entreaties
of our missionaries could prevail with Lieutenant
Governour Barnes even to modify his order so far
as to permit Mr. Garrett to remain till the rainy
season should be over.
PALESTINE.
No advices have reached ns from this mission
later than those which we have presented to our
readers. The journal of Messrs. Parsons and
Fisk giving an account of their tour to Pergamos,
Thyatira, &c. places rendered ever memorable
by the early displays of divine grace and the
primitive institutions, of the Christian faith. At
the date of our last information, Mr. Parsons had
taken his departure with a company of pilgrims
for Jerusalem, and Mr. Fisk was prosecuting his
labours with fair prospects of success in Smyrna
and its vicinity. In a former part of their journal,
which has been recently published, they relate
the following singular circumstances respecting a
Jew.
“ This afternoon, Mr. Cohen, a Jew of some
distinction, came to visit ns ; and to request of us
some books, which he understood we had for dis
tribution. Mr. C. has travelled considerably in
Hurope, and is able to converse in fourteeu dis
ferent languages. After a little conversation our
attention was directed to the evidences of Christi
unity. His objections were the same, which are
in the mouth of every Jew : “ Our Saviour’s hum
ble appearance ; —his neglect of-his parents ; his
predictions with respect to his appearance at the
destruction of Jerusalem, &c.” We produced
the following passages, to prove that the Messiah i
of the Scriptures must have made his appearance
in the flesh long before the present day. Gen.
xlix, 10. The sceptre shall not depart from Ju
dah, nor a law-giver from between his feet, until
Shiloh come. “ This passage,” said he, 11 1 ac
knowledge, refers to the Messiah, but the sceptre
has not yet departed ; it exists in the government
of the Rabbins.” Has there been an unbroken
line of governours, through this long captivity of
more than 1700 years? He replied, “ 1 dont
know.” It must be proved that the sceptre has
never departed from Judah. Now, is it not evi
dent, and do not the Rabbins themselves confess
it, that for centuries Judah has remained without
a king, and without a priest ? And after the de
struction of Jerusalem, when persecution was so
violent, and the ravages so dreadful, that scarcely
two of that nation remained in one place, where
was the sceptre of Judah ?
There are numerous passages of Scripture,
which affirm, that the Messiah is to rise from the
tribe of Judah. Isai. xi, 1. “And there shall
come forth a rod out of Jesse, and a branch shall
grow out his roots.” At present all distinction
of tribes is lost, and irrecoverably lost too. Now
admit that the Messiah has not come, how can it
be known, that he is from the tribe of David ?
And if a man should arise, and call himr tjf the
Messiah, how can the Jews know, that he is the
predicted ‘ Rod out of Jesse.’
There is a passage in Daniel ix, 26. “After
three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut
off, but not for himself.” To whom does this re
fer ? “ God knows,” was the reply. Now give
this passage the most liberal interpretation you
please, and still you will make it necessary for
the Messiah to appear in the flesh many centuries
before the present day. Besides, from the time
of the going forth of one commandment to restore
and build Jerusalem was exactly the prophetick
period mentioned by Daniel. But at any rate,
the time is past ; and the expectations of the
Jews ere in vain.
“ Finally,” said he, “ 1 will tell you plainly, 1
don’t believe a Saviour has come, or ever will
come, i once endeavoured to establish anew
religion, to be called the religion of Abraham. I
would throw away all the Prophets, all the Penta
teuch, and all the Commandments, excepting
these words, ‘ thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart.’ To my own sentiments I
gained 400 proselytes: but 1 was obliged to aban
don the design, on account of a violent persecu
tion. But I have not the least confidence in the
sentiments of the Jews.
We observed, that this subject is a momentous
one. If a mistake be made here it is fatal. The
everlasting interests of the soul are deeply con
cerned in this question. After about two hours,
he left us, to lament over the blindness that has
happened to Israel.

Foreign and Domestick Intelligence.
There is at present a general dearth of intelli
gence both of a foreign and domestick nature.—
The arrivals from Europe have been frequent,
hot they afford no news of particular interest.—
The Greek insurrection is losing its importance
in the English papers, and will most probably
eventuate, like the Neapolitan Revolution, in
rivetting the bands of despotism, with a tenfold
vengeance, upon its unfortunate projectors.
Spain and Portugal are still in an unsettled state,
but no counter-revolutions appear to he appre
hended at present. France is apparently enjoy
ing a season of calm political repose. In Eng
land the puhlick attention is principally directed
to the preparations which are going on for placing
the crown in due form upon the head of George
IV. The 12th of July was spoken of as the day
appointed for the coronation.
NAPLES.
The following decree is offered to our readers
to shew the condition of Naples.
“ Ferdinand I. by the grace of God, King of
the Two Sicilies.
Th efatherly intimations of our decrees of the
28th and 3lst of March last against secret meet
ings, and in favour of a general disarming of the
kingdom, not having produced the desired effect,
which shows the guilty designs of those who dis
obey, and forces us to adopt more energetick
measures ; and, impressed with the maxim that a
law to be made perfect demands a penal sanction,
and that the punishment to be useful requires ex
amples, pubiick, speedy and impartial, we have
therefore decreed as follows :
1. A Court Martial shall be created with all the
powers of a special council of war.
2. This court shall execute rigorously’ articles
4 and 5 of our decree of 31st March against those
who carry forbidden arms,by condemning to cap
ital punishment as an assassin whoever shall he
found with these arms, and shall without delay
execute the sentence.
3. The director of police may authorize the
search of houses at discretion. If foibidden arms
shall be found without legal permission the house
holder shall he punished accordingly. If the col
lection of arms and ammunition is such as to give
room for suspecting a conspiracy, the person of
the inhabitant shall be seized, and placed with
his papers, at the disposition of the court mar
tial.
4. The same court shall execute the decree of
March 28th, agaiust the Carbonari.
5. The object of the Society of Carbonari be
ing the overthrow of all governments, every one
who after the publication of this decree shall join
that society or attend any of its meetings, shall be ‘
punished with death, as guilty of high treason.
6. All who, without being Carbonari skall be
taken in actual meeting with a view of overturn- 1
ing the pubiick order, shall likewise be puuished j
with death.
7. The same court shall punish with imprison
ment of from three to ten years, every person 1
who in town or country shall know of the place
of the meeting of the above description and shall
uot immediately disclose it.
8. Whoever, belonging to the said meetings,
moved by repentance, shall disclose to the police I
the members and the projects of a conspiracy,
shall be pardoned, his name not disclosed, nor en
tered on any register. Signed in due form.
Marquis de Cicillo.
[A measure more tyrannical in its object, more
bloody in its provisions, or more treacherous in
its means of detection, has seldom disgraced hu
man history. What must be the state of the peo
ple to render such a decree necessary ? or the na
ture of a government which would adopt such a
law without necessity ?]
The Duke of Devonshire's Ball. —There is i
something startling to the simplicity of American
manners, in the following luxurious description : j
“ At Devonshire house on Thursday evening, |
was given a fete of the first description. The fol
lowing apartments were thrown open at 11 o’clock
viz.
Ist. The red drawing room ; 2d, the yellow
drawing room ; 3d, the green drawing room ; 4th,
the fawn drawing room ; sth, the small dining
room ; 6th, the Duke’s sitting room ; 7th, the
billiard room ; Bth, the saloon ; 9th, the great
dining roorii; 10th the small library; 11th, the
grand library. All these noble apartments, with
covered ceilings, enriched with sculpture and gil
ding, were lighted up with the purest wax candles, j
placed in chandeliers of cut glass, or or-molu.
The company did not begin to muster till half
past 11 o’clock ; at midnight it was a brilliant
scene indeed. At that hour had arrived almost
all the party invited to meet the king at the resi
dence of the Russiau ambassador: they were all
full dressed, in compliment to royalty ; the gen
tlemen in full court dresses, and the ladies with
their plumes of feathers and diamonds. The no
ble host himself came with the count and count
ess Lu ven. The dancing commenced in the
great saloon.”
The Queen. —On Saturday, about 2 o’clock
the Queen, attended by Lord aud Lady Hood,
and Mr. Alderman Wood went to see the brilliant
garment that is to be presented to her majesty by
the journeymen silk-weavers of Spitalfields, and
which is now weaving in the loom.
A deputation of ladies and gentlemen in car
riages and four, waited upon her majesty at Bra
denburgh house on Monday last, with au address J
from the parish of St. Luke’s. On Saturday
last, her her majesty dame to her bouse in S. !
Audley-st. to receive a deputation from Kidder
minster, who presented a carpet,ten yards square,
of beautiful workmanship; in the centre are the
royal arms ; (he ground work interspersed with
the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock ; the
whole design drawn by the workmen, and more
than three thousand of the labouring clas
ses contributed one shilling each to defray the
expenses of the manufacture.
Os Bonaparte. —The last advices from St. Hel
ena were to the 31st of March. At that time Bo
naparte was indisposed ; but not to such a degree
as to cause the slightest apprehension for his
life.
In the case of the death of Bonaparte at St.
Helena, his body is to be embalmed, and sent to
England, to satisfy the world that no violence has
been inflicted upon him.
Bos. Cent.
The Ship Essex. —By the following extract of a
letter from one of the crew of the U. S. frigate
Constellation, to his father in Richmond, it will
be seen that another of the boats of this ship, (the
particulars of whose loss we published some time
since) has been picked up and carried into Val
paraiso. This is probably the 2d mate’s boat, as
we have before had accounts of the safety of
those commanded by the captain and Ist mate.
Sat. Republican.
“Valparaiso, March 7, 1821.
“ A few days before we reached this port, we
picked up three men and a boy, belonging to the
whale ship Essex from Nantucket, (wrecked hy
being run foul of by a whale,) who had been 87
days at sea in an open boat. After their provis
ions were expended, they lived 8 days on the body
of one of their fdlnw sufferers, who died of fa
tigue.— They had drawn lots, and the next day
one of the remaining three was to die, to furnish
food for the other two. When our ship hove in
sight, they had nothing left but one of the feet of
their unfortunate fellow sufferer.”
Horrid Murder. —About midnight on Sunday
last a white man named Saunders, living 17 miles
up the Augusta road, was shot dead in his house
hy a negro fellow supposed to belong to a Mr.
Brown, in or about Augusta, and known by the
; name of Essex. Mr. Saunders was called to the
back door by the fellow, and as he opened it re
ceived the contents of a musket or fowling piece
into his head, aud dropped dead on the bed from
whence he had just risen, and where lay his wife
and three infant children.
On Mrs. Saunders’ screaming, the fellow who
had entered the house seized her by the throat,
and seated her on a bench, threatened that she
should share the fate of her husband if she stirred
or made the least noise, and in this situation was
she forced to remain for a quarter of an hour while
he was searching for plunder, tie first secured
well the outer door, opening into the puhlick road,
then lit a fire from a smoking pot which was iu
the house and with the greatest coolness and de
liberation proceeded to his search for money. Fin
ding but two dollars, he became enraged against
the terrified woman and threatened her with
instant death, if she did not discover more or tell
him where the pocket book was. He however
found that empty, and then demanded “ the two
watches” and with these and the two dollars de
parted through the back door. The poor woman
whose agony for her husband’s melancholy fate
had been absorbed in the terrour that was inces
santly excited for her own life and that of her
sleeping children, was now left a prey to the
dreadful feelings which the scene before her was
calculated to inspire.
The murderer is well known on the Augusta
road, and it is believed will soon be apprehended.
The circumstances must stimulate to extraordina
ry vigilance in pursuing him. He is a stout made
man, and is supposed to be the same who knock
ed a black boy off his horse and robbed him of his
saddle bags the afternoon before. He is said to
have been recently employed on the middle
ground road of Eflingham County in erecting a
house for Low, Wallace & Cos. The distressed
widow says that she had seen him before, and that
he stopped at her house not long since, when
she supposes he discovered the watches hanging
over the chimney-piece.
So horrid a transaction has seldom occurred in
our community, and we sincerely hope that be
fore this time the murderer is in the hands of jus
tice. [Satt. Repub. July 10.
Charleston, July 6.
Horrid Murder. —Early this morning, a most
barbarous and unprovoked murder was committed
by a Spaniard upon the person of a young Ger
man named Greshom, employed as a clerk in the
store of Mr. Benjamin Dye, King-street road.—
■ The only particulars we have as yet learned res
pecting this shocking affair, are these : at a late
! hour lust night, it appears, the Spaniard applied
! at the shop after it was shut, for admittance, pro
: bably to obtain liquor, which was refused. When
j the clerk opened the door this morning to his sur
prise the Spaniard was still stationed at the door,
1 but appearing peaceable, no particular notice
was taken of him. A moment after, the ruffian,
watching his opportunity, sprung upon him and
stabbed him to the heart, and he almost instantly
fell and expired. The Spaniard was soon after
I apprehended and committed to jail.
Wheeling, Va. June 6.
A Pirate taken. —A man calling himself John
son, but whose name is said to be Stevenson, w'ho
had been some time in this city, aud acquired the
name of Devil Johnson, was imprisoned here a
few weeks ago for personal violence offered to his
wife. On a subsequent examination of the wife
in the county court, touching the treatment she
had experienced from him, some disclosures were
made giving rise to the suspicion, that the man
was one of the band of pirates who, in the year
! 1819, changed their uamesand fled from our sea
board to escape the punishment that there await
:ed them. Au inquiry wes immediately set on
j foot, which has resulted in the confirmation of
these suspicions. It appears that he changed his
name, and fled from Baltimore sometime in 1819-
On Saturday last he made an attempt to hang
himself, but was discovered before the spark of
life was extinct, and resuscitated by medical as
sistance. He has since been delivered into the
custody of two U. States’ deputy marshals, who
have stated with him for Baltimore, where he will
have his trial.
Suicide. —ln Norton,Muss.on the evening ofthe
;21st. inst. Jonathan Marcy, a native of that town,
was found suspended in his chamber. He was a
veteran of the revolution, and one of the,recent:
pensioners of government. He commilfed this
deed of horrour upon himself iu a fit of insanity,!
22
to which fce Was subject in consequence ofintem
perance. A melancholy admonition to those
who are guilty of excess at the inebriating bowl.
Salem. Reg.
Boston, June 29.
The Macedonian brought from her late cruise
a great number of natural and artificial curiosities,
specimens of various kinds of Gold and silver ore,
aud other minerals. Among the natural curiosi
ties are several Lamas, Deer, Hogs, Terrapins
and Horses, peculiar to the different countries
which she visited.
On the sailing of the Macedonian from Callao,
a boat was despatched from the British frigate Hy
perion, Capt. Spence, then getting under way,
tendering a salute, if one would be returned. It
being assented to by Capt Downes, this compli
ment was exchanged with the utmost good will.
This circumstance is mentioned as being a pecu
liar act of courtesy on the pait of the British com
mander, and one not often shown by British ships
of war to those of the United States.
STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
Norfolk, June 23.
We stated a few days ago, that the statue of
Washington, executed at Rome, by Canova, for
the state of North Carolina, was put on board the
Columbus, which ship is probably now on her
passage to the United States. Having promised
to give a more particular notice of that piece of
sculpture, we now proceed to the task :
It is intended to represent the immortal hero
in the act of writing his farewell address : he is
seated in an ancient Roman chair, his right leg
drawn up as in the usual sitting posture, the left
carelessly extended along. In the right hand he
holds a pen, in the left a scroll—at his feet the
baton of a field marshal, and a sword of the
shape of an old Roman falchion, turned at the
point. He is clad in the Roman costume, the
head and neck bare, a close vest and braccae,
with a girdle round the waist upon which is dis
played Medusa’s snaky head and other emblems
of Roman taste. The toga or cloak, is drawn
close round the neck and descends in luxuriant
folds to the floor. The legs are bare to the knees
and the feet covered with sandals.
The statue is of white marble of the best kind.
It rests upon a pedestal of the same kind of mar
ble, upon the sides ol which are represented in
emblematical figures of the richest workmanship,
the four principal events of Washington’s life ;
his taking the command of the American armies—
capture of the British army at York Town—re
signing all his puhlick trusts, and lastly, his re
tiring to private life in the tranquil occupation of
a farmer.
It is said the artist has exercised his own taste
entirely, in the position and costume of the statue.
It was represented to him that it was intended to
be placed in the hall of the legislature of the state
of North Carolina, the dimensions of which were
sent to him ; and it was stated to have been wish
ed that the likeness should be tak nat full length,
as in the act of delivering an address. But, the
proportions of the monument with the apartment
it was to occupy, were of primary importance to
a just exhibition of it, and he found that they
could not be preserved in any other way than by
reducing the statue to a sitting posture. With
regard to the dre‘s, it is said he could not hazard
his reputation by attempting any other than that
which was most familiar to him, and which is
best adapted to his taste and genius.
In the opinion of Amateurs, this is Canova’s
’ happiest effort—so he has been heard to declare
himself, aud the Pope and Cardinal Gonsalvi
have expressed the same opinion. It is related of
: this accomplished artist, that he expressed the
most heartfelt satisfaction at having had an op
; portunity of executing a statue of Washington,
and he is said to have wrought more upon it with
j his own hand than he was ever known to do upon
i any similar work— he generally reserving to him
self in such works only the finishing stroke, or
coup de grace. As an example of the estimation
in which his statue of Washington was held in
Rome, many English and other travellers of taste
and fortune would have given four times the con
tract price to have possessed it.
The likeness we understand was taken from a
portrait of the General in the possession of the
American Consul at Leghorn, esteemed an excel
lent resemblance.— Herald.
From the Newburyport Herald.
I Water Spouts.— Capt. Wilson, who lately ar
rived here from the West Indies, has furnished us
from his journal with the following account of a
very dangerous water spout.
On the 22d of May, in lat. 36 35, long. 09 50,
fresh gales from S9W and squally, at 4 P. M. a
heavy cloud appeared on our weather quarter
about west, which approached us very fast; pre
pared the vessel for a heavy squall, when the
rain began to descend iu torrents. All at once
we saw five large water spouts forming under the
cloud, upon the sea, about one and a half miles
from us, going with the cloud nearly in a line NE
by E with astonishing swiftness. They appeared
about a half mile from each other, at about equal
distances, and connecting themselves with the
cloud.
The sea for a considerable space where the
base of the spouts appeared, exhibited the most
, tremendous commotion; they appeared in the
cloud above to be as large as a tierce. At this
time a number more were forming, and appeared
to approach us very fast. We now thought our
selves in the utmost danger, for all our efforts to
dissipate them in the usual way, were unavailing;
but the wind hauling northwesterly, and blowing
! fresh, we let out some of onr reefs, trimmed sharp
by the wind, and fortunately gained to windward
of them. They passed us a little astern, so that
we had a fair view of them, and they presented
one of the most awfully sublime scenes in nature.
We had seamen on board the brig who had fol
lowed the sea from ten to thirty years, and none
of them had ever before witnessed so dangerous
a waterspout, or any of such magnitude. Had
we been 30 minutes sail astern. I conceive there
would have been no possibility of escape from ut
ter destruction. The water was in continual agi
tation, for fifty or sixty minutes, and I am free to
confess I never before had an adequate idea of
the horrours of one of these phenomenon.
Extract from a letter written by a gerMeman in
Cooper County, Missouri, dalid March 2.
“ The Indians have been doing mischief above
here, again ; they robbed six wagons on their
way to the Council Bluffs, cut their gearing to
pieces, and set their wagons on the opposite si.!
ofthe river, and told the wagoners to make the
best of their way home. The Indians have taken
Parmar, the man that commanded the party that
killed Indians last spring, and have taken him off,
and it is supposed that they will put him to some
barbarous death.” Russellville Mess.
