THE MISSIONARY. MOUNT ZION, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25. Some writer has remarked, that spiders might make silk if they could agree to live together in so ciety and maintain a community of interests. Without vouching for the philosophical correct ness of this opinion, we heartily subscribe to the importance and pertinency of the moral contain ed in this remark when applied to the human race. ■ In every order of society, and in every de partment of life, much of the good which might otherwise have accrued to the world, has been sacrificed upon the altar of personal or party feel ings. In legislation, in science, and in religion, jealousies and antipathies of one kind or another, have prevailed to such an fextent as to impede the progress of society in every valuable acquisition, and to rob posterity of that rich legacy which would have been the natural result of a concen tration of their intellectual and moral energies, philosophers have not unfrequeutly spent more time in demolishing the systems of others, than in scrutinizing the principles of their own; —and victory over an opponent has too often been cher ished as a more darling object than the triumph of truth. But it is not in the severe and more ab struse branches of knowledge alone, that men have enlisted their talents in hostility to each oth er. Even in the flowery walks of literature, en vy has planted her thorns and briars; —and it may be fairly questioned whether jealousy of a rival and an overweening solicitude for personal pre eminence, have not made a greater multitude of shrewd criticks, than have ever been produced by a logical intellect and a refined and delicate taste. In religion, too, whose vital principle is harmo ny,and which is capable of producing, in the high- J-t degree, a consolidation of human interests, jalousies and contests have been cherished, which have disrobed practical Christianity of half her glory. The declaration of the Son of God, that every Kingdom divided against itself cometh to desolation , has been treated as a speculative truth ; and his new commandment, that his dis ciples should love one another, which was illustra ted and enforced by his own perfect example, has been divested of its binding force. The pol icy of the earth has too obviously mingled, in the visible church, with the principles of heaven. The broad commands of the Gospel which were evidently intended toinclude in commiseration the whole family of man, and to embrace with complacency the collective number ofthe redeem ed, have been restricted in their operation, to a s’ct or party;—and to hate an enemy or burn a b-rctick have been deemed by some professed followers of Christ not less acceptable to God, than the oblations of prayer and praise. The common enemy has been forgotten, while the weapons of those who bear the C hristian name, have been sharpened and brandished against each other. Ambition and epvy have exerted their in fluence even in acts of worship—and strange fire has been kindled upon the altar of God. How .many sinners have perished, and how many pa gans have been left to groan under all the wretch edness of idolatry, in consequence of the disputes and party zeal of Christians, the day of judgment -an alone disclose. But the political world has furnished (he theatie where party feelings have acted their most bust ling parts and caused their greatest mischief. The history ofthe world isa history of perpetual contest f .M- .power. In free governments, especially, par ties have been embodied and arranged under fa vourite and popular leaders whose great business has been to proclaim their own disinterested pa triotism. and to depress the standing of their op ponents by representing them as the determined enemies of the commonwealth. But in this pub- I-'-fe cry; there ;s often much which is superficial srfl deceptive. While the publick weal is the ostensible object, “ the loaves and fishes” furnish the real incentives to exertion. We shall gener ally said that those who are loudest in their own ; praise and most clamorous in the denunciation of, their opponents, are such as wish for personal ele-! vat ion to office. To look oneway and row the i oilier —to talk largely of the love of liberty and | f country while the eye is fixed upon some posti of honour or profit, is the great secret of election- j ferine. The whole community is often thrown 1 into tumult and they know not why, that the : ambitions and aspiring may have the pleasure of r.ding into office upon the “ stormy waves of the multitude.” On the subject ofpolitical animosities the page ot history presents us an instructive lecture. hile we wander among the tombs of ancient grandeur and read the epitaphs of nations which Vave arisen, flourished and fallen, we meet with a vhousand mementos to warn us against that spirit of faction which accomplished their ruin. In a government like ours, especially, an union of feeling and interest, is necessary for the contin uance of its existence and prosperity. It is a government of choice, and must be indebted for Hs perpetuity to the affections of the people. Let its fundamental maxims once sink in their estima tion, and its strongest pillars would soon fall, and the whole superstructure become aheap of shape less ruins. And what is more directly calculated to indues this train of dreadful consequences, than the spirit of parly which is already too man ifest among us ? The State of Georgia is thrown into a political uproar, and the citizens are ar ranging themselves under opposite and hostile banners, not so much for the purpose of increasing the honour or resources of the repuhlick, as to de cide a violent and pertinacious struggle for victo ry and office. If the people were truly wise they would put a final period to the progress of this fatal evil. They would give that man leave to enjoy the quietude of retirement who can devote his time and prostitute his talents for whole months together for the sole purpose of getting himself into office. If violent demagogues and in flammatory newspapers would cease to intermed dle with our honest and candid citizens, these infuriated political broils “"would oeasfc—our liber- | ties would rest upon a far more solid and perma- I nent basis—and the affections of confidence and : brotherhood, wn|Rd once more visit and gladden society. We should soon witness the blessed effects which, in a national point of view, ever result from a union of interest and intelligence, strength and virtue. (fcJ-When we made the late change in our day of publication, we anticipated an earlier distribu- j tion of our papers in the distant parts of the State,; in consequence ofthe new mail route from Powel ton, by this place, to Monticello, which was then just going into operation. We find, however, that no additional facility is given to their early circulation by this arrangement; the papers arri ving at the several distributing offices a day or two after the cross mails leave them, so that they j necessarily remain in many instances four or five i days. From the best information we can obtain, ! we feel persuaded that a large majority of our subscribers would receive the paper much earlier, if, instead of Wednesday, they were lodged in Sparta on Monday. Our news departmant will not suffer in any respect from this alteration, as the paper will be kept open for such intelligence as may be received by the Augusta mail of Satur day morning. It not being in our power to issue the paper on Monday next, the Missionary will not again be published till the 6th of August. We hope this change will remove the cause of some very serious complaints which have reached us from several quarters,particularly from the Nor thern section of this State, and from the upper dis tricts of South Carolina. We take this opportu nity to assure our subscribers in those places,that the Missionary is regularly forwarded in secure wrappers, and if they are not received, it is no fault of ours, although we are the most material sufferers, many papers having been discontinued on this account. We acknowledge with gratitude the very ready attentions which have been shewn I us by many Postmasters to whose offices our pa- j pars are sent, and we are sorry to complain of the i conduct of any ; but we really can see no good reason why our papers du not reach, with some degree of regularity at least, the County of Frank lin. There is certainly remissness somewhere, and whether it be in the mail carriers or Post masters, it ought to be immediately attended to by those whose duty it is to correct such abuses. Foreign andDomestick Intelligence. By the ship Cortes, arrived at N. York, in 24 days from Liverpool, London papers have been received to the 9th of June. The most impor. tantarticles which they furnish, are the Declara tion of the Allied Sovereigns on the dissolution of the Congress at Layhach, and a Circular said to be j forwarded by Count Nesselrode, the Russian min ! ister, to the different European Courts. The first j of these State Papers we have given below, and 1 the source from which it emanates will doubtless insure it an attentive perusal. The Russian Cir , cular we are compelled to omit; it bears, how ; ever, a close affinity in sentiment and expression ito the Declaration of the Congress, and is very possibly the offspring of the same Jesuitical pen. Among other professions made in this document, t the Emperour declares his intention to maintain | in good faith the existing treaty between Russia’ ! and the Porte—in other words, to render no as-! j. 7 I | sistance to the revolted provinces of the Turk- 1 ; ish empire. He declares his interference in the ! affairs of Naples and Piedmont, was for the sole ‘ purpose of “ preventing insurrection from usurp- ; j ing a power which would be a universal scourge,” i 1 and “ not to obstruct the development of publick , prosperity in any state whatever;” and affirms :in bold language, that “never did the love of J war, never the ambitious thought of exercising an exclusive influence in the councils of, | other monarchs, or upon the destinies of the . people confided by Providence to their care, di rect the policy of his Imperial Majesty !” A member of the House of Commons had de-j , manded of the ministry to know if the declara , tion purporting to be issued by the Allies, was an ’ thentick : and an affirmative answer being given, j | he declared in his place, that it “ contained senti- 1 ; ments highly dangerous to British liberty,” and j gavenotice that he should make a motion on the j subject. | The Cotton Market at Liverpool, says a letter | of June 8, “ has been a little more steady during | the last three days, although prices have not re covered the ground they have lost during the suspension of demand. Yesterday 1700 bales were sold, among which were 1200 bags of Upland, middling to good fair, at 9d a 10 1 -4d.” Layhach , May 12. DECLARATION. Europe is acquainted with the motives of the resolution taken by the Allied Sovereigns to sup press conspiracies, and to terminate disorders which menaced the existence of the general! peace, the establishment of which had cost so many efforts and so many sacrifices. At the very moment when their generous ob jects were accomplished in the kingdom of Na ples, a rebellion of a still more odious character, if possible, burst forth in Piedmont. Neither the ties in which had, for so many generations, united the reigning House of Savoy with the people, nor the benefits of an enlighten ed government, administered by a wise Prince, and under paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of calamities to which the country was exposed, could restrain the disaffected from their designs. The plan of a general subversion was prepared. In this combination against the repose of nations, the conspirators of Piedmont had their part as signed them. They were eager to perfom it. The throne and the State were betrayed— oaths were violated—military honour tarnished— and the contempt of every duty soon produced the scourge of every disorder. Every where the pestilence exhibited the same character; every where, one uniform spirit di rected these fatal resolutions. Not being able to assign plausible motives in their justification, nor to obtain national support to maintain them, it was in false doctrines that these contrivers of anarchy sought an upology ; they founded, upon criminal associations, a still more criminal hope. In their eyes the salutary su premacy of the laws, was a yoke which must be destroyed. They renounced those sentiments which are inspired by a true love of one’s country, and substituting for known duties, arbitrary and undefined pretences fora universal change in the Constituent principles of society, they prepared endlecs disasters for tlie world. 31 The Allied Sovereigns saw the dangers of this conspiracy in all their full extent, but they had also discovered the real weakness of the conspira tors, in spite of their veil of declamation and de ceit. Experience has verified their anticipations. The resistance which legitimate authority has encountered, has been useless, and crime has disappeared, at the sight of the sword of justice. It is not to accidental causes—it is not even to the conduct of men who behaved so ill in the hour of battle—that this easy success should be attributed. It has resulted from a more consola tory principle : from one more worthy of atten tion. Providence struck, with terror, tbe consciences of men so guilty ; and the censure of the publick, whose fate was compromised by these artificers of mischief, caused the arms to fall from their hands. Solely employed to contend with, and to put down rebellion, the allied forces, far from pursu ing any exclusive interests, have arrived to the aid of the people who are subjugated, and the peo ple themselves have regarded the employment of those troops as a support in favour of their liberty, not as an aggression upon their independence. From that moment the war ceased—from that moment the staLs which revolution had assailed, became the friendly States of those Powers which never wished any thing but their tranquility and their prosperity. In tbe midst of these grave occurrences, and in a situation thus delicate, the allied Sovereigns, in concert with the king of the Two Sicilies and the king of Sardinia, have judged it indispensable to adopt temporary measure.? of precaution, indi cated by prudence, and called for by the general good. The allied troops, whose presence was ne cessary for the restoration of order have been placed in suitable positions, solely for the purpose of protecting the free exercise of legitimate au thority, and to assist it in preparing, under this argis, those benefits which may efface every ves tige of such portentous misfortune. The justice and disinterestedness which have prevailed in the deliberations of the allied mon arohs, will always continue to regulate their poli cy. In future, as during the past, they will ever prescribe to themselves the preservation ot the rights of each State, such as they are ricognized and defined by existing treaties. The issue, even , of such an alarming crisis, will, under the auspi \ ces of Providence, become the consolidation of that peace, winch the enemies of the people at tempt to destroy, and the stability of an order of things, which will secure to nations their repose and prosperity. Filled with these sentiments, the allied sover eigns, in the conferences at Layhach, have wished to announce to the world tbe principles by which they have been animated. They are determined never to abandon them, and all the friends of or der will constantly see and find in their union, a sure safeguard against the enterprises of anarchy. It is for this purpose that their imperial and Royal Majesties have ordered their Ministers Plenipotentiary to sign and publish the present, declaration. Austria—METTERNICH, Tbe Baron DE VINCENT, Prussia—KßUSEM ARK, Russia—NESSELRODE, CAPO D’ISTRIA, VOZZO D1 BORGO, GREEK INSURRECTION. The accounts relating to the troubles in Tur key are still so contradictory, that but a very im perfect opinion can be formed of the Teal state of things in that country. Sometimes they rep resent the insurrection as a matter of little mo ment,and likely soon to be effectually terminated : and at others, they seem to warrant the inference that a storm is fast gathering, whicli will shake the Mahomuiedan power to its very foundations. They agree, however, in confirming the rumours | previously received, that the most atrocious ; murders have been perpetrated by the Turks in | Constantinople, and other places. It is stated, that a proposal which was some years ago made in the Divan, namely, to murder all the Christ ians |in the Turkish empire , amounting to twelve mil i lions, had been lately renewed !—that it was op posed by two of the great officers of state on the ground of its being contrary to their religion, and at the same {ime impolitick ! These officers have since been deposed, and the most dreadful appre , hensions were entertained by the Christians lest this diabolical measure shoifld be adopted by the government, and an attempt-made to carry it in :to effect. The murders already perpetrated are , imputed to the populace alone ; but it can hardly be imagined that the government has resorted , to any effective measures to prevent them, espe- I cially when we take into consideration the fero cious character of Turkish policy in times of polit ical or religious excitement. We have collected all the important items of in telligence in regard to the disturbances in Turkey which we have seen ; but the fact that no news papers are published in that country renders it very difficult to obtain a correct knowledge of passing events. London , June 6. We this morning received Hamburgh papers to the Ist inst. Their principal contents relate to Turkey. The Porte, it is said, intends to have two large armies, one on the Danube and (he other in Macedonia. Nothing certain seems to be known of Ypsilanti. The accounts from Con stantinople ail agree as to the savage massacre of Christians, which is going on in that city. Thou ! sands have fallen victims to the infuriate rage of the Turks, who cut off the heads of the unfortu nate beings with the greatest indifference. From the Banks of the Danube , May 21. Aft<*r long debates, it has been resolved in the DivaD at Constantinople, to call over a nev and powerful Turkish army from Asia to Europe.— j Strict orders have accprdingly been sent to sev- ’ eral Pachas. The Janissaries at Constantinople : are speedily to march from that city. The Rus- 1 sian ambaesadotir had frequent conferences with , the minister of the Porte. Ali Pacha, (the famous Turkish rebel) has re ceived overtures of conciliation and of being res tored to favour, if he will be content with the province of Albania ; but it is said he has declin ed to negotiate till the Turkish troops have evac uated Albania, a proposal to which the Porte is not likely to agree. The number of the Greeks murdered in Con stantinople amounts to thousands. Ten or twelve fall upon one person, ill treat him so as to make him desperate, and when he is so exhausted that he can resist no longer, they cry out to him “ nie bolze”, (don’t be afraid) and cut off his head.— This 11 nie bolze” is now the dreadful watchword i in the Turkish capital, which daily and hourly re- ( sounds in all the streets inhabited by Greek ; Christians. Important despatches have arrived at Laybach from Constantinople, transmitted by the ambas sadors of Russia und Austria, relative to the atro- i cities which have been committed in the Turkish capital, especially with relation to the horrid murder of the patriarch. By participating in the - cruelties of the people, the Ottoman government i has greatly exasperated the Greeks. On the 25Ui of April, a corns of tSOO Janissarie 8 1 1 4**, commenced their march for Wama in Beesarbia. In ascending the Bosphorus these barbarians burnt and pillhged without distinction, houses belonging to the Turks and Greeks. M. Souton, counsel lor of the Russian Embassy, only saved his man • sion by throwing handfuls of Gold from the win dows. The Russian flag, which floated over tbe hotel of the embassy is pierced w ith built. In Asiatick Turkey, the native Christians have almoet universally sought safety in the mountains. The Franks and European merchants of Smyrna have sought shelter on board their vessels, wiio their most valuable effects. The Turks have set fire to the Grand Bazzoe of tbe Jews in that city. About 500 Turks from Lepanto made an attack upon the Greeks at Patras, but were totally de feated, and nearly half of them were slain. Prince Ypsilanti has been joined by prince Cantecuzena, a descendant of the Greek empe rours. An article from Vienna says, “ Never, at any period, was the Porte in such a critical situa tion.” The following is the Oath which Prince Ypsii anti has administered to his troops: “ As an orthodox Christian, and son of our Calholick Apostolick Church, t swear, in the name of the Almighty Fatherof our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Trinity, to continue faithful to my religion and my country ; to join my Christian brethren in the cause of our country’s liberty, and to shed the last drep of my blood in defence of my religion and my country, and to undergo death for the sake of its liberty ; I swear to kill even my own brother, should he be a trai tor, to obey my leaders in the defence of my country, and not desist until its enemies have been driven out: I swear to take up arms when ever 1 learn that a corps of Christians is on its march against our tyrants, and to exhort my friends and acquaintances to follow my exampie and never to regard the Turks but with hatred and contempt. I will not lay down my arms un til my country shall be delivered and its enemies exterminated, and 1 will either overcome the en emies of my religion, or die a martyr for jesus Christ. Finally, I swear by the mysteries of the Eucharist, aud may my last hour be deprived of the comforts of the Holy Sacrament should 1 fail in the performance of ail 1 have promised to ob serve before the image of our Lord Jesus Christ.” It is said that Ypsilanti is master of Adrianople, and is marching against the capital ; and that La rissa is in the hands of the Greeks. He had been joined by a fine corps of 10,000 Bulgarians and Servians, and it is said that a corps of 30,000 men sent by the Grand Turk had been destroyed.— The Greeks are said to have a force of 300 ves sels in the Archipelago, and have captured a Turkish frigate and three brigs. The Coronation. —lt is finally determined that the corouation shall take place about the middle of July, ‘i'he royal excursion to Ireland would follow the ceremony. It is expected that the king would visit his Hanoverian dominions. Letters from Naples, of 10th of May state, that some disturbances had broken out in Cala bria, but they had been quelled, and several Car bonari had been shot in that province. The subjects of Sardinia ami the two Sicilies, who had taken part in the late disturbances, are said to be flocking into Catalonia in Spain. SURRENDER OF THE FLORIDAS. Charleston,- July 17. By the arrival last evening of the sloop Wasp, C'apt. Chester, from St. Augustine, we learn that the American flag was hoisted at that place on the tOtli inst.—At 5 o’clock in the morning, a salute was fired from the fort by the Spanish troops, and the Spanish flag displayed. At 3 P.M. the American colon-.'s were hoisted with the Span ish, and the American troops landed at the South Battery, and marched directly to the fort.—At4, the Spanish troops marched out, and the Spanish j fW was lowered under a salute of 21 guns from i the fort, which wa9 answered by the U S. schrs. j Tartar and Revenge, at anchor in the harbour. I Four persons, charged with being concerned in j the attempt to defraud the underwriters of the sloop Norfolk, by false shipments, were brought before alderman Badger, in Philadelphia on the Ist inst.—bailed for SBOOO each, and bound over to appear at the next court to answer j the charge alleged against them. Glass Manufactories. —The Glass manufac tures at the South Boston Works, have been fre ; quently exhibited, and bear testimony to the fact, that in colour and brilliancy, they rival the proud est productions of Europe. The Boston Crown Glass also, is celebrated every where for its strength, colour and brillian cy.—The hail stones to which we are subject while they shatter every other kind of glass, make no impression on the firm fabrick of the Boston Croton Glass —as tested at Salem, in the Capitol at Washington, and numerous other places, am ply verify. Those who will examine these pro ductions of American skill aud proficiency, must he convinced that they are unrivalled by any transatlantick articles of the kind.

Summer Disease —As the warm weather has set in, when bilious affections prevail, especially among children, it may be useful to remind pa rents that carbon of cork —tjiat is, cork burnt to charcoal—is a sure cure. The cork must be thor oughly burnt, and prepared by pouring a tea spoon full of brandy on the burnt cork, adding a little nutmeg aud loaf sugar, macerating it on a plate. The nutmeg is to make it palatable—and in its place peppermint water may be used. The quantity need not exceed the size of a hazel-nut, to be taken at one time, and it may be diluted with plain water, and the quantity increased at intervals till the cure is effected. It is efficacious in bilious cholick—cholera morbus—or summer complaint. N. Y paper. Somewhat Tragical. —We learn from Suffolk, , that a hymeneal expedition was planned by a ! young couple in that towu, to consummate their tender wishes in defiance of the opposition of the lady’s father, who did not approve of the match. They were to have taken their departure on Mon day night last, for Gretna Green in the State of Nortli-Carolina, but the old gentleman discover ing their intention, prevented (lie elopement of his daughter and frustrated the hopes of her in tended. The spark, who is a journeyman cord wainer, but not of very pliant feelings, could not brook disappointment in a matter so awl-impor tant to his happiness; he behaved so imruly that his intended fathar-in-law had him bound to keep the peace. Being unable to give security he was ordered to he imprisoned ; but before the man date could be executed, he, like n true hero of romance, drew hi weapon (a sharp pointed shoe knife) and plunged it into his breast! The wound was at first believed to be mortal, blit the hapless swain is'slill alive, and, it is said, may recover. Norfolk Herald.
