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. Greene D. Brantley, Esq. P. W. of Moticello, Jasper county, is an Agent for the Missionary. 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.
