urn] progress of the present revive! in that
city, so far as the Baptist Society is concern
ed, b/'the Rev. Mr. Cushman. It began
among professors of religion in the spring
of 1320 —their lukewarmness and remiss
ness alarmed them—they mutually confes
sed their faults and prayed for one another.
Among other means of extending the work
of grace, the visit of Rev. Mr. Ward, of Se
rampore, is mentioned as having a very sa
lutary influence. The whole number add

ful prospects still remain.” May the great
Lord of the harvest realize them!
A Bible Society has been established in
Nismes, France, and receives the support
of the most distinguished persons in the
city. 600 families are there destitute of

which there is no member that can read !
These last are to be.taught to read by the

‘ THE MISSIONARY^
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, AUGUST 6.
Among the various religious associations that
exist in this country, there is no one which ex
ceeds in importance the American Society for
educating Pious Young Men for the Ministry; and
jo one which has claims on the
charity of Christians. It is a matter of deep re
gret that its oper.oirns have been greatly impe
ded by a want of means, the managers having
been reluctantly compelled to turn a deaf ear to
many applications made in behalf of pious youth
of promising talents, who are willing to enter the
ministry, but are unable to complete a necessary
education without pecuniary assistance. We
have given on the preceding page extracts from
the correspondence of the Society, and now sub
join the following information, subsequently re
ceived, which affords a very gratifying view of
the state of religion in some of onr colleges, and
of the good which the Society is effecting, cramp
ed as its energies are by the parsimony of those
whose duty’ it is to become “ helpers in the great
work.”
FROM THE BOSTON RECORDER.
Extracts from Official Letters.
i University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill, May, 1821.
We have at present in our University ten pro
fessors of religion, of-.vhom 5 are of the Presbyte
rian Church, 2 Methodists, 1 Baptist, t Scotch
Seceder, and 1 Episcopalian. A small number,
indeed, when compared with what is found in the
northern colleges, yet very sufficient 1 think, to
show that true religion exists here in no inconsid
erable degree. The whole number of students in
our catalogue this session, is 135. None of the
pious students are, so far as! know, supported
here bv charity ; nor are any provisions making
to assist hereafter such ns bear that character.—
it respect's scholarship, the members of the
church, taken as a body, hold universally a res
pectable standing, and some of them are distin
guished. Considering the school in which they
have been taught, (the school of Christ) it is per
haps unnecessary to add,that they are the friends
of good order and good government, and that they
do indeedhave no inconsiderable influence upon
the character of the college.”

the attempt of getting a liberal education, for the
want of support. No provisions additional to
those enumerated above, are made for their re
lief.
44 The American Education Society deserve the
thanks of all who feel an interest in the prosperi

Foreign rmdDorncstick Intelligence.
- -i
Late and Important from France.
From the N. York Com. Advertiser of July 17. 1
The brig Olive arrived at this port in 28 from
Ilavre-de-Grace, brings the following intelligence
which, if true, is highly important. The rumour
of the deatli of Bonaparte may only be a second
edition of the same report which was afloat in ;
England. Most ardently do vve hope the news j
from Turkey may prove to be correct.
It was currently reported in Paris that informa- i
tion had been received of the death of Bonaparte,
and that his body was to be brought to Europe
for burial, but whether it would find a place in
41 Notre Dauie,” or Westminster Abbey, was un
certain. |
The coronation of Louis XVIII. was to take !
place at Rennes, on the 25th of August, and as the j
Pope vvas too much enfeebled through extreme i
old age, the ceremony was to bn performed by j
Cardinal Gonsalvi, as the prime minister of his |
Holiness.
Late intelligence from Turkey staled that the j
vanguard of the army of Prince Ypsilanti, the
Greek Commander-in-Chief of the insurgents vvas
at Adrianople, a distance of about 30 leagues from
Constantinople. The troops of the Grand Seign- .
or had been defeated and dispersed—and three
Turkish frigates were in readiness in the Bospho
rus, to take the Grand feeignor, his riches, wives ;
and concubines, said to amouut to 800, to his do- 1
minions in Asia.
The above intelligence was communicated by j
one of the passengers, who left Paris the day pre-!
vioiia to (lie sailing of the Olive. j
All the accounts from Turkey represent the!
great tardiness of the government in its operations |
against live revolted Greeks. The Turkish min-.
istry seem to be fully sensible of the danger, and
therefore their tardiness evinces a want of means .
more than a wflnt of will. It is quite clear, how- j
ever, that the Turkish empire is in a great crisis ;;
beyond all comparison the greatest in which it!
has been placed since its establishment on this |
side the Bosphorus. It seems to be crumbling to j
pieces—the abuses of a horrible tyranny, and the
rust of an iron superstition, have nearly eaten
away the pillars upon which it rests.
Madrid papers of the 24(h May state, that the
decree of the Cortes against sending money to
Rome for Bulls, Matrimonial Dispensations, In
dulgences, &o. is officially promulgated. It
enacts, that in lieu thereof, the sum of nine thou
sand piastres shall be annually remitted to his ho
liness, as a voluntary gift, over and above all sums
stipulated by preceding concordats. The cortes
reserve to themselves the increase of this sum 44 if
the nation shall be able to do so.”
The Spanish government has granted an annual
pension to the Neapolitan General Pepe. Spain
welcomes the Neapolitan refugees,and grants them
pensions ! What will the Holy Alliance say to
this ?
According to the accounts from Vienna on the
25th of May, the (ury of the Turks at Constanti
nople vvas such, that the foreign ambassadors no
longer found themselves in safety in that capital.
Lately, a great number of Greeks of tbe lwest
order had been massacred before tbe hotel of the
Russian ambassador; and on his refusal to deliv
er to the populace a Greek family to whom he
had granted an asylum, the furious populace
threatened to force the ambassador’s hotel. M.
Strogonoff conducted himself on this occasion
with equal dignity and resolution. Accompanied
by all the persons attached to the embassy, he
appeared on the balcony of the hotel, and declar
ed by means of his interpreter, to the sanguinary
multitude, that he would consider as a declaration
olwar against his sovereign the least attempt of
violence, and that he would instantly take the
steps becoming him in such a sitviation. This
vigorous conduct vvas not without its effect. The
Turks immediately abandoned their sanguinary
project.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
London dates have been received at Boston via
Halifax, to tbe 16th of June. They do not cor
roborate the intelligence previously received of the
death of Bonaparte. The accounts from Con
stantinople state, that all the Christian churches
in that city had been destroyed by order of the
Sultap. To the remonstrance of (he Russian am
bassador against these excesses, the Ottoman gov
ernment.only replied, 44 The Sultan is roaster here,
and the grievance has been dictated by reasons of
state.” 7Jie Hydriots had captured 40 vessels
from Egypt laden with corn, and it wa9 said they
had forced the straits of Dardanelles with 56 ves
sels, and were in possession of one of the cattles.
Constantinople was in the greatest consterna
tion. The troops from Asia Minor had not arriv
ed, and the fleet had not put to sea. The soldiers
who leave the city in the morning with the avow
ed intention of marching against the insurgents,
return at night to pillage and assassinate. The
shops are- closed, and all business suspended.
Zanle, May 6.—The union of prince Kantecu
zeno, with the armies of Ypsilauti and Theodore,
will be a powerful aid to them ; he is rich, and the
first sacrifices he has made, are an indication of
what he will be able to do hereafter.
Trieste, May 22.
The last accounts from Ragusa, confirm tbe in
telligence of the mountaineers having taken an
active part in the war of Albania, and of their
having gained some advantages over the Turks.
They have declared decidedly for Ali.
We are assured that Ishmael Pacha was obliged
to abandon his positions, and that he had set out
to join the Pacha, of Morea, whose troops have
met with many defeats, aid are very much weak
ened. A corps of troops b daily expected in Al
bania.
The merchant ships that have lately come into
this harbour from the Levant, confirm the prog
ress of the Greeks, as Well in the islands as in the
Morea. The insurrection had spread to Macedo
nia. 1
44 Most of the Isles of the Archipelago are de
livered from the oppressors of our Holy Religion.
Chio is free, with the exception of o*ne old castle.
The main body of the Greek fleet, is impatient to
attack Constantinople, where the Turks have
murdered our venerable Patriarch. It is generally
reported, that our fleet has forced the passage of
the Dardanelles. Let us hope that the Cathedral
oi St. Sophia, the Basillick of Imperial Justinian,
will be no longer profaned by our oppressors.”
Trieste, May 28.
According to accounts from Smyrna, several
insurrections against the Turks have broken out
on the coasts of Asia Minor, which are connected
with the events in the Grecian Islands. There
are fears for several establishments in Smyrna,
blood having been shed in that place.—Some tu
multuous scenes have also taken place in the is
land of Cyprus, which has hitherto been faithful
to the government. We are assured, that two
able officers of engineers direct the military oper
ations ol the Greeks in the Morea. Letters from
Corfu say,that several English have entered, with
enthusiasm, into the ranks of the Greeks. The
union of Amento with them, is now certain ; the
Pacha of Morea is losing the greater part of his
troops.
Augusta, July 25.
Destructive Torando and Hail Storm.
A Tornado, of the most awful nature in its ef
fects, passed through the counties of Oglethorpe,
Wilkes and Lincoln, on Sunday morning, the 15th
inst. and destroyed or injured every thing in its
progress. The largest trees were uprooted and
twisted from their trunks ; barns blown down,
and their contents (corn and wheat) scattered
before the wind; promising plantations of
corn and cotton utterly ruined, and many
persons made beggars, who a moment before
deemed themselves independent. Suckis the ac
count we have received of the awful visitation,
the particulars of which will be found in the fol
lowing extract of a letter received by the editor,
from a gentleman of this place, at present in
Wilkes county. Advertiser.
41 On Sunday morning last,just before day light,
a most tremendous tornado passed through a part
of this county, and in its course has done exten
sive injury ; and in 6ome instances has been at
tended almost with ruinous consequences. It
commenced, as far as I can understand, about
A thens; at least its effects have been heard of as
high up as that place ; it passed through Ogle
thorpe, Wilkes, and Lincoln, and from the latter
county crossed Savannah river ; but how far it
extended into South Carolina, or what damage it
has done there, 1 have not understood. Its width
was from half a mile to two miles, getting wider
a? it approached the river. In its passage through
this county’ it was from haif a mile to three quar
ters wide, and in that space, during its whole pro
gress, it has done vast and incalculable mischief.
It passed through one of our neighbour’s planta
tions, and aimost totally destroyed his crop : his
overseer told me yesterday he should not now
make enough for the supply of the place—upon
the day before the hurricane he calculated upon
a hundred and forty bales of cotton, and a tolera
ble crop of corn. Trees, fences and houses were
blown down ; and the awful roar of the wind, and
a violent and incessant shower of hail and rain
rendered the duration of the storm a period of al
most inconceivable apprehension and alarm. The
wind levelled the trees in every direction, twist
ing off those of large size,and scattering the fences
far and wide ; the hail stripped the cotton and
the corn to the bare stalk, and in many instances
beat it to the earth at such a rate, that in the
moruing scarcely a vestige of vegetation was to
be seen in fields which the day before presented a
promising prospect. Several poor persons in this
neighbourhood, particularly two or three widows,
have lost their entire crops, and are so injured in
their prospects, as to require the aid of the benev
olent for their support, and subscriptions to assist
them have been set on foot, and are liberally
patronized. Mr.——, who formerly resided in
Augusta, who had a flourishing and extensive crop
of cotton and corn growing on his large and valu
able plantation, bad unfortunately the whole of
his place within the influence of the hurricane,and
his prospects of a crop are totally destroyed : he
told me yesterday that he should not make a
pound of cotton, or a bushel of corn. His last
year’s com house was Mown to pieces, and the
corn scattered about the fields; his large barn
was blown down, and the wheat in it blown away
and lost ; his carriage house was blown down,
and his carriage destroyed*— his poultry-house was
blown down, and above three hundred head of
poultry he informed me, were killed by the hail;
and the trees were blown down so thick around
him, that he had to make a circuity he observed,
of half a mile, to get from his bouse to the road.
His neighbours also suffered severely. In shorf,
I scarcely ever heard of more serious injury from
such a tornado in any part of the up country ; as
it widened towards the river, I believe it was com
paratively less violent, so that 1 hope the injury
was lessened as it progressed.”
Health of Savannah. —lt affords us much satis
faction to state that our city is remarkably heal
thy for the season of the year, although there has
been an unusual fall of rain during the last fort
night—the precaution here of late to cleanliness
has been such as will,we hope,under Divine bless
ing, prevent a recurrence of a disease with which
this city has been heretofore occasionally afflicted.

St. Louis, (Missouri) June 11.
General Long. —lt appears that the career of
this celebrated partisan is not yet at an end.—
The following extract from a letter received by
’the last steam boat from New-Orleans, contains
the first intelligence we have hsd for some time
of the General:—The prospects of General Long,
it seems, are begining to look up~there were
six-hundred men left Bayou la Fouche last week
to join him, and there are two or three hundred
more who will leave this place soon for some pur
pose.” The letter mentions the names of several
persons (known here and elsewhere) who were
offered commissions in the expedition. We
learnt from another quarter that Long, with
about twenty followers, had been occupying a
small post near the Bay of Galveston, since his
discomfiture in the last year, if the fact men
tioned in the above extract be true, he will re
ceive a considerable accession to his forces—But
Long, with ali his indefatigable exertions, nor any
other person, need ever think of operating suc
cessfully against Texas at the head of a hundred
men—having to contend against the whole of
Spanish North America containing a population
of several millions, nothing less than an army of
thousands can wrest our bartered province from
the dominion of its present niastef.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Pensacola ,
to the editor of this paper, dated 13 th July 1821.
44 The 44 long agony” 44 is not yet over.” We
are not in possession of the country. —General
Jackson, who has not been in the city, is en
camped with the troops at Galvez Spring, distant
one and a half miles from this place. I “was yes
terday in company with the General, and from
his conversation 1 infer we shall raise the Star
Spangled Banner on Monday at twelve o'clock, so
soon as the transfer of possession is accomplished.
I will write you by the first opportunity, and for
ward you a copy of the proclamation.
44 The ‘Spaniards are preparing with much re
luctance to get off, and 1 learn the Spanish Gov
ernour has not acted with that firmness which
should have characterized the gentleman and sol
dier. He has offered some unnecessary delay or
perhaps inactivity, which the General will no
longer tolerate. He will come to point on Mon
day no doubt.
44 There is an immense crowd of population
pressing in here from all quarters of the union.”

PROPOSALS
For publishing a Paper in the Town of MilUdgc
ville, to be entitled,
WE, THE PEOPLE.
THE Press has been truly and classically call
ed the Palladium of Liberty. In the dis
semination of useful knowledge, in the correction
of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-eminent
above evey other institution ; it is the handmaid
to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge
niu.i, and the pioneer to the march of Liberty and
Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how
ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long
retain an undue influence upon the minds of the
People: the glare of publick observation through
which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con
fucius, immediately reflects its deformity ; aqA|
exposes its venality. Someone has aptly obseflH
ed, that opinion is the Quttn of the World. SHfl
is emphatically so in a government like
The aristocratical maxim, 44 the people are UicJß
own worst enemies,” under whatever
it may appear, will still retain an impress of itS
original features ; and the ken of an
community will soon penetrate the gossamer man- ’
tie, and drag the monster to light.
WE, THE PEOPLE, will be particularly
devoted to an impartial examination of the poli
ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of its
present administration is one which fully accord*
with our feelings and principles ; and so long as
it adheres to that honest and independent course
which has invariably marked its progress, so long
will the Editors be devoted to its support. All
other subjects of State or National concern will
receive that portion of attention which they mer
it ; and every exertion will be used to render the
paper a medium of useful intelligence.
Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and
thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their
little barque upon the political ocean. With
Truth their chart, and Independence their com
pass, they hope in attempting to avoid Scyllathey
will not founder on Charybdis ; but ride in tri
umph on the Sea of Principle into the Port of
Publick Safety.
We, the People , will be published forthwith,
under the management of one of the Editors of
the Augusta Chronicle.
The terms of subscription will be three dollars
per annum, payable on the delivery of the first
number, or four dollars at the expiration of the
year.
