The “ Hartford Times” of the 3d inst. contains a statement of the commencement 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 ed to the Baptist Church is 107. “ Hope 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 the Bible, besides six hundred more in which there is no member that can read ! These last are to be.taught to read by the •'{charitable exertions of the benevolent, and others will soon be provided with the ji-Bfcripturea. The Female Domestick Missionary Society S os Baltimore , have, for some time past, em | ployed the Rev. Mr. Pfeifer as their mission- I ary; he labours principally among the poor I and the sick, and visits tLe poor-house and ■ jail. Since he has been employed, a congre -1 gation has been formed, a Sabbath School 1 established, and a society who assembled I oiice a week to make clothing for destitute’ ■ children, and at the same time teach cliil ■ dren that meet with them, to sew.

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.” Si non College, -V.

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 ty of religion, and the best interests of men.

MINISTERS in charge. July 31, 1821. r—-iinnn —nn—urn—ranri u niiwmi/M ii-Hiwiia—i——. 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. Museum. 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. 35 Claiborhe, (A.) July 20. 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.” MARRIED, On Wednesday evening last, by the Rev. N. S. S.

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.
