cles can exist to render it necessary. This 1
supposition is, however, erroneous. The
same circumstances that call for the main
tenance of decision in the publick employ
ments of life, equally require its influence
in the pursuits of the scholar. He has be
fore him an object that requires his constant
pursuit, his undivided attention. He has ‘
difficulties to be surmounted that require
his highest resolution. Persevering indus- j
try urged on by a decided and steady pur-!
pose, is therefore to him essentially requi- ]
site. If he is not called to decide on events
that involve the happiness of others, he is j
constantly deciding such as concern his own j
destiny. The difference, therefore, be
tween his situation in this respect and that ;
of most others, is, that in them a decisive
character is to he exercised on particular ■
occasions ; in hiux its influence must be con
stant and unabated. If he once becomes
irresolute, he immediately yields to inac
tion. From the nature of the difficulties
that attend bis progress, it is certain, that
if he does not form wise plans, or if he fails
to execute them ; if he is variable in his
purposes, or inconstant in his pursuit ; he
may indeed frequent the the paths of litera
ture, but will fail of gathering her choicest
flowers ; he may still traverse the fields of
science, but will be little benefited by her
abundant harvest.
In addition so this, the timid mind does,
and ever will see difficulties in prospect,
which are only phantoms ; and these imag
inary difficulties often have an equal influ
ence ou the resolution to that of the most
obstructions. Many prom
ising geniuses have been intimidated and i
disheartened by these ideal forms, and in
duced to give over the pursuit, or to follow
it with reluctant steps and ineffectual ef
forts. • CERVINUS.
THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, AUGUST 20.
In remarking upon the present state of the
Turkish empire in Europe, the editor of the Chris
tian Watchman observes—“ In what way God
has determined to destroy the ferocity, the bigot
ry and the superstition of Turkey, we know not ;
hat as the Mahometan is the established religion
of this empire, we may be certain of its final over
throw, and probably at no distant period. The
friends of the Church of Christ are praying for the
spread of the Gospel, and the general spread of
benevolent principles. The language of their
supplications is, that he would “ overturn, and
overturn, and overturn, until He come whose
right it is” to exercise a universal and glorious do
minion. In what way he shall introduce this lat
ter-day glory, it is not for his disciples to decide. 1
If he shall see fit to punish the barbarous nations
by an almost utter extirpation, as he punished the
ancient Canaanites when the measure of their ini
quity was full, who shall call in question the jus
tice or wisdom of his determinations ? Whilst the
church is praying, God, in his providence may j
answer by “ terrible things in righteousness.” It ]
is an inexhaustible consolation, that he is on the
throne of the universe, directing all events, opera
ting in the most minute as well as in the most
maguificent, and determining the aggregate for
the good of his friends, and the most illustrious
display of his own ineffable perfections.
In reflecting ou the present circumstances of
European Turkey-, and comparing its situation
with ours, how forcibly are we impressed with the
contrast exhibited in the magnitude of our bles
sH*s as a people favoured with the clear light of
the Gospel; and as a happy consequence, a gen
eral and clear apprehension of our civil and re
ligious rights. An absolute despotism is the gov
ernment of Turkey. The Grand Seignior is lord
of the lives and the property of his subjects.—
Their religion is that of the cruel and lascivious
impostor, Mahomet, to whose senseless fables they
have surrendered their understandings. •> A
Barked contempt towards those of a different re
ligion is a conspicuous trait of the Turkish nation ;
it appears in the ceremonies of the court, in the
coarse rusticity of vulgar manners.” But it does
not become us arrogantly to boast against them,
in our superiour means and advantages for moral
improvement, ns if we were “ made of better clay; 1 ”
hut as our privileges greatly increase our obliga
tions, so also do they render the duties of hurnili
tjb of gratitude to God, and obedience to his re
vealed will, peculiarly indispensable, as the ap
pointed and the only way in which we may ex
pect a continuance of our inestimable blessings.
And we should be more deeply impressed with the
fact, that it is the Gospel, and the Gospel only,
wdurh-makes, by the blessing of God, 60 essen
tia and so distinguishing a difference.”
From a Table published in the Boston Record
*T, collected from official documents, it appears,
that in 12 of the Colleges in the United States,
there are 1821 students, of whom 509 are profes
sors of religiou, and 253 charity scholars. Os these
126 are the beneficiaries of the American Educa-!
tion Society, and the annual sums which they re-1
ceive vary from 50 to 100 dollars to each scholar, 1
n allowance which, on an average, is less than
we half and in many cases less than one third of
their necessary expellees. The remainder of these
students are assisted by smaller charitable socie
ties, by churches and by individual donations.
COMMUNICATION.
In this world, mankind were formed to be as
sistants to one another. The wants of society
oid! for every man’s labour, and require various
departments to be filled up. They require that
some be appointed to rule, and others to obey ;
•orae to defend the society from danger, others to (
1 maintain its interna] order and peace ; some to
provide the conveniences of life, others to pro
mote the improvement of the mind; many to
work, others to contrive and direct. In fact no
one should be a mere blank in the world ; no
rank, or station, or dignity of birth, no extent of
possession exempts any one from contributing his
share to promote the publick utility and good, es
; pecially in a free government like ours. Under
such a government we should presume no one
i would ever be found the cause of strife and com
-1 motion. It appears at this time that our County
: Citizens, or many of them, are out of their sphere
!of action. Our County has for years past been
comparatively tranquil in all her political elec
; tions, even through the whole of the late war.—
j Can every man be said to fill his proper circle,
and yet such parly spirit prevail among us ? Why
should the County of Hancock be carried away
! from that degree of harmony which has so long
j existed, merely because the customary elections
of Governour and Representatives are approach
ing ? Fellow Citizens, let us bo more united and
do away this spirit of party, which is the curse
of our country, and rest assured that wisdom will
direct the Legislature in the choice of our next
Governour. A FARMER.

General Intelligence.
LATEST FROM LONDON.
By the ship Triton, arrived at Boston, London
papers to the 30 th of June were received—one;
day later than by the James Monroe.
London, June 30.
Letters from Vienna of the 16th communicate !
intelligence from Bucharest, of the 31st in*t. with I
further details of the state of the Greek insurrec
tion in that quarter. It seems probable from these j
letters, that the horrible cruelties committed by i
the Turks on entering Bucharest, when all the ,
Greeks they could succeed in capturing were im- i
paled alive, have awakened a spirit in the adjoin- I
ing provinces of Boshia and Servia, which may I
still find full employment for the Turkish army in
the northern provinces, and even raise the sink
ing fortunes of Ypsilanti. The Servians are said
to have attacked and destroyed on the Danube,
between Perowitz and Klariora, a Turkish battal
ion of 800 men, who were on their march to join ‘
the main army. Ypsilanti, it is now stated, has ‘
intrenched himself at Tergowishi, where he was
daily joined by large numbers of recruits, irritated 1
by the and depredations of the Turks.
Near Bucharest, which is the head quarters of
the Turkish army, a force of 22,000 men, of
whom one half are cavalry, is encamped. They •
only awaited the arrival of Jussuf, Pacha of Ibrail,
from Jassy, to attack the main body of the j
: Greeks.—Letters received by Greek houses at i
I Vienna, represent the state of affairs in a much
j more favourable light for their countrymen, aug- 1
menting the extent of the insurrection in that |
part of Turkey, and describing the Turkish army
as without discipline, and in danger of being cut ;
off from its resources. We believe, however, 1
from a comparison of statements, that, north of
the Danube, the chances of war are, in its present j
stage, against the Greeks, though the imposiug
| Turkish force employed against them proves that •
their strength even there is greater than had been
imagined.
Advices from Constantinople to the 3d of June,
were received yesterday, at which date the em- 1
bargo on foreign vessels laden with corn still con
tinued. The treasury, however, purchased with ;
prompt payment all that was offered. The arma- j
ments were proceeding with great activity, par- i
ticularly in the arsenel, ami new fortifications
j were erecting on the Bosphorus. From this it
i would appear that a visit from the Greek fleet is
i held by the Divan to be n possible contingency,
j No fresh intelligence from the Morea had been
received at Constantinople. Information had ar- .
j rived of *he proceedings at Smyrna, which led to an |
immediate order from the Turkish government to J
the Pacha ofCesurea, to take the city under his j
protection, and above all, to consult the safety j
of the foreigners residing there. A similar in- i
; junction was transmitted to the civil authority of ;
i Smyrna.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
1 Burning of Widows in India. —Mr. Fowler
Buxton arose to bring on his motion for copies and
extracts of all communications from India respec
ting the burning of females. In introducing this
question he disclaimed all intention of casting re
proach upon any body ; for he was aware that a
feeling of delicacy upon the superstition of the
natives alone restrained tl.e British authorities fr on
interfering to prevent these dreadful spectacle*.
Still the question was not, in fact one of religion*;
toleration, but whether murder or suicide ought
tacitly to be permitted under the British jtirisdic- j
tion. It might be sufficient for his purpose to
etate the extent to which this shocking practice j
had been carried in one presidency alone —he
meant that of Fort William. Within the last four
years, in that presidency, 2366 females had been
seen to ascend and perish upon the funeral piles
of their deceased husbands.”
After some observations, the motion was agreed
to.
FOREIGN SUMMARY.
From the N. Y. Com Advertiser.
’ The Queen of England, it is said, continues firm
in her resolution to attend the coronation, if not
as a principal performer in, yet as a spectator of
the ceremony. Her majesty ground* her de
mand, not merely a* Queen, but also as a prin
cess of the house of Brunswick.
King Henry VI. on being rebuked for th mean
ness of his attire, by the earl of Warwick, is said
to have replied, “ It becomes a king to exceed
his subjects in virtue , not in vesture.”
It is understood that an immense military force
is to be assembled within and in the vicinity of
the Metropolis upon the approaching coronation.
It appears that Mr. Brougham has given up his
Education Bill, on account of the opposition it
, has met with among the dissenters.
I At Nissa, one of the most important towns in
Servia, the Turkish Pacha having been suspected
by his government of secretly favouring the
Greeks, was beheaded on the 10th of May, and
the Archbishop Athanasius, together with three
noble Servians, were hanged by order of the
Porte. The archbishop was hanged before the
church, and his body after having been dragged
along the streets was torn in pieces and cast to
the dogs.
Surgery. —When the surgeons of Tiipoli take
off a limb, they dip the stump into a bowl of hot
pitch, which stops the bleeding without tying up
the arteries.
It is perhaps not generally known, that there
are in Ireland, (besides a large and respectable
body of Presbyterian Seceders) between 200 and
300 Presbyterian congregations, whose ministers
are recognized and paid by government. The
synods of Ulster and Munster are at present en
gaged in endeavouring to provide religious ordi
nances for their brethren in the north and west of
Ireland, many thousands of whom are from various
causes entirely destitute, or nearly so, of the
means of worshipping God in the way which they
prefer.
A camp meeting of the Methodists lately took
place on Mexborough Common, in Yorkshire,
which consisted of between twenty and thirty
thousand persons. In the ceutre of the ground,
at some distance from each other, stands were
placed for the preachers. This great assemblage
met and separated with the greatest decorum.
Priest Stealing. —A letter from Rome, May 12,
mentions that a band of 17 robbers had scaled the
farden of one of the seven convents at Frascati,
10 miles only from Rome] and carried off to the
mountains seven monks, and came very near tak
ing the cardinal Pacca. . They have demanded
70,000 Roman crowns for their ransom ; but the
Pope has offered 18,000.

Disaffection among theSoldiery. —lt appears by
a letter from St. Petersburg, via Paris, in 26 days,
that there have been some grounds for the rumour
; that serious disaffection has shown itself amongst
some of the Emperour’s troops, although no actu
ial revolt has been manifested. We are unable to
give the letter at length, and select only the most
striking passages.
41 The grand duke Constantine, since his return
to Europe, has given great offence to the Empe
rour. He is suspected of having imbibed liberal
principles, and his attempts to conciliate the sol
’ diery, to whom he was previously a perfect tyrant,
give grounds for suspicion.
“ The Emperourhas endeavoured to abolish the
practice of wearing beards among the lower clas
ses, and this has caused much bad feeling. 1
have been in two towns where this regulation has
been enforced, and the poor creatures run away
from a stranger, ashamed of being seen. In Novo
gorod the innovation is openly reprobated.
“ The greatest possible care is taken to keep
the troops which have been in France from mixing
with the lower orders. These troops are for the
most part dissatisfied With their scanty fare, and
are not a little infected with the revolutionary ma
nia ; but the mass of the people care little about
politicks, and tht Emperour prudently keeps them
in their state of slavish ignorance.
“ I have only been here one week since ray
journey to Poland. The Poles are at the very
point of revolt, and notwithstanding all that the
Emperour has done to render himself popular,
they detest him thoroughly.”
Extraordinary Case. —Last Wednesday night,
a chief in the village of the Lake of
the Two Mountains, when going to bed, incau
, tiou*ly stuck a lighted caudle against the wain
scot of a garret where he, and his household,
amounting to eighteen persons had retired to rest.
’ After some time, the tallow by which the candle
1 adhered, melting, it fell down, unfortunately into
a basket, where there was a bag contaiuiug slbs.
1 gunpowder. The consequence was an immedi
ate explosion, which blew off the roof, rent away
the sides, and, in a word, reduced the house to
| splinters. By such an accident, ose would ex
; nect that many were killed and wounded ; but it
: was quite the reverse ; for not a single person,
i though all wi re blown out of an upper story to the
| distance of 30 yards, was injured materially. The
, chief (whose name is Jacob Commandant) alight
! ed on his feet in a canoe on the beach, through
i which his leg’ penetrated as far as the ancles & held
him fast, as it were in the stocks. There he was
j found by some of the inhabitants, in inexpressible
j terror, imagining his situation to have pro
ceeded from some malicious demon, whose exit
! and entrance, had destroyed his house. A child,
who was sleeping with its head near the basket,
! soffered no other hurt than having its hair singed ;
| and to crown all, the leathern bag, containing
; 3lbs. more of gunpowder, and lying in the same
basket, was found near the house unexploded.
I Wt have these particulars from one of the princi
pal persons in the village. [Montreal Her.
| Commodore Barron. —We understand (says the
! Norfolk Herald) that the decision of the court ol
inquiry lately held on Com. Barron, and which
pronounces his unqualified and honourable ac

decision of the court as ratified by the President,
has been made to the Commodore.
The following particulars of the cruise of the U.
i States schooner Alligator, Lieut. Stockton, on
i the coast of Africa, are received from Boston:
“ The U. S. schooner Alligator, in quaarntine,
is last from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed 26th
May. She has captured,manned, and ordered for
Boston, besides the Voting Eugene arrived, three
other schooners, the Eliza, Matilda, and Daphne,
all taken in the Congo river. The Eliza had no
slaves on board ; the Daphne had two slaves on
board ; and the Matilda had a boat load ready to
start for the schooner, but, discovering the Alliga
tor, they were landed. The masters of all the
vessels were ashore at the time of capture. The
vessels are said to be under French colours, and
were officered and manned principally with
Frenchmen and Spaniards. A schooner, with
300 slaves on board, sailed from Sierra Leone,
about two hours before the Alligator, to which
she gave chace, but the schooner escaped by su
periour sailing. The Alligator has eight prisoners
on board, and has returned in consequence of put
ting out all her crew, except a sufficient number
to navigate her.
Long and dolorous articles continue to arrive
in the western papers, on the subject of the cur
rency of that part of the country. It seems the
fate of the paper banks of Ohio, Kentucky and
Tennessee, has very little effect upon the western
neighbours of those states. Mis'ouri, whose cur
rency has as yet been sound, is determined not to
be out-done in the business of Bunk-making.
Kentucky finds herself worse off every year, and
in order to remedy the evils brought on them by
paper banks, makes anew one every time the
people get in debt. The last was the Great
State, or Commonwealth’s bank; but Judge
Trimble has lately set the people to trembling, by
declaring in his official capacity, that the notes of
this bank are of no more value than so many oak
leaves. [JY. K. Spectator.
Perkins, the American Artist. —At a meeting
of the Society of Arts, at the Freemasons’ Hall,
Great Queen-street, London, Mr. Jacob Perkins
received a gold medal for a most important inven
tion of instruments to ascertain the trim of a ship,
whether loaded or unloaded, at sea or in I
43
and a large silver medal, for the discovery of a
method of ventilating the holds of ships, and war
ming and ventilating apartments.
Cure for Poison by Arsenick. —ln the Schoha
rie Republican of the 18th inst. there is a very
minute account by Doctor J. Converse of his
treatment of a person who had swallowed half a
teaspoonful of white arsenick. A person by the
name of John Smith, was confined in the jail in’
Schoharie County on a charge which if made oat
against him would send him to the State Prison for
hie. To get rid of this punishment it appears he
determined to destroy his life, and with that view
swallowed the poison above mentioned.
Doctor Converse resolved to try the virtue of
charcoal, and it appears that the experiment has I
been successful. The account he gives of the
treatment of the case is as follows :
“ Determined to pursue the directions there
laid down, [New England Medical Journal, Vol.
9, No. 3.J with such alterations as my judgmeut
would dictate, I commenced the following day,
about the meridian, while the hickups continued
unabated, the pulse and symptoms generally not
much more favourable, by giving half an ounce of
Carb. lig. cont. or pulverized chat coal, mixed in
half a pint of sweet milk every hour; and one
half pint of 01. Oliv. or sweet oil, every 2 hours.
Milk and water for his common drink, which he
was fond of, seemed to allay in some measure his
thirst.” [Alb. Argus.

Worthy of American Tars. —The cummittee
for the distribution of Books to seamen of New-

umes of voyages, travels, history, geography, and
navigation; they immediately subscribed one

the seamen’s library on board. It is a subject of

Two white men and two negroes were detected
on the eve of the Bth inst. in an attempt to rub the

which they had provided to carry off their plunder,
was found in the bushes over the river. The
two white men, whose names are Anthony and
Clarke, were armed with a musket and a rifle.—
They were all committed to gaol.
A letter from Missouri savs “ Our State Consti
tution, as it is called, contains within itself the
seed, not only of dissolution, but of speedy death.
It contains one unfortunate clause, which author
izes the Legislature to propose amendments to it,
and if the next Legislature approve of them, the
constitution in those particulars is to be ipso facto
altered sans ceremonie. The blessed effects of
this wise provision we are now beginning to taste.
The Constitution has not been in existence one
year, and our legislature has not been in session
two weeks, and no less than six alterations in the
constitution have been proposed and adopted.”—
One alteration complained of is, that the Judges
are to be elected once in six years, “ by which, |
(says the writer) the independence of the judicia- i
ry will be prostrated at the feet of the legislative
power.” The judiciary is elective in the States
of Vermont, N. Jersey, Ohio and Georgia—in
Massachusetts, New York, Delaware, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, S. Caroli
na, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama,
&c. the judges hold their offices during good be
haviour.
Voyage round the World. —A fine ship is get-1
ting in order at New York to make a voyage :
round the world, under the command of Captuin !
O. Sullivan. This will afford an excellent oppor- i
tunity lor men of science, and young gentlemen
of leisure and fortune, to make a voyage so fertile
in interest, and so promising in improvement, and
under the care of an enterprising and worthy cit
izen.
The intimation of the British government to
remove the remains of Major Andre, has unfortu
nately excited considerable newspaper discussion
in this country ; and the circumstances which led
to his execution are considered as serious objec
tions to permission being given for the contempla
ted removal. No objection was made by the
English to the removal of Montgomery’s remains
from Quebeck, though by them he was consider
ed as a rebel; and why should we object to the
honour which the countrymen of.Andre are anxious
to show to his memory ? He paid the price of his
folly and guilt by the forfeit of his life, and so far
as human justice is concerned, his crime was
expiated on the scaffold. His ashes ought not
now, after 40 years of repose, to be made a sub
ject for harrowing up those feelings which exist
ed between the two countries at the time of his
capture and execution.
The U. S. Ship Columbus, lately arrived at
Boston, is said to be the largest vessel that ever
sailed the European seas under the American flag.
She is about 2,400 tons burthen, and carries 64
guns on her gun-deck, and 36 carronades on her
quarter deck and forecastle. Her complement is
800 men. She draws 26 feet of water, and mea
sures 250 feet of altitude from the surface of the
water to the highest point of her main top gallant
royal mast truck. On coming upon the coast the
Columbus met with a scool of Mackerel, which
followed the ship all day, in the course of which
period they caught the unparalleled number of
12,000 of that fish. There were 300 lines used,
and the people pulled in the fish as fast as they
could throw their baits into the water. One of
the lieutenants counted 600 Mackerel which he
caught with his own hands.
