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.

August 13,1821. 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. From the Belfast Irishman. RUSSIA. 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 quittal, has received (he approbation of the Pre sident ; and that an official communication of the 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. From the JY. Y. American.

Worthy of American Tars. —The cummittee for the distribution of Books to seamen of New- York, having presented to the crew of the U. States’ship Franklin, one hundred and fifty vol umes of voyages, travels, history, geography, and navigation; they immediately subscribed one dollar each (600 dollars) towards the increase of the seamen’s library on board. It is a subject of gratulation to behold the efforts made to enlight en and improve a body of men hitherto much neg lected, and in whose welfare every American should entertain a deep interest. The Franklin will shortly leave New-York on a three years’ cruize round Cape Horn. Suv. Georgian. In excavating the Grand Canal, near Schenec tady, several curious remains have been discov ered, among which are parts of human skeletons, teeth of Carniverous animals, apparently of dogs ; arrow heads of flint, fragments of earthenware, &c. and the shells of the large fresh water mus cles, which produce pearls. They were found bedded in the soil about 12 feet below the surface. Ib. An unfair Question. —A young lady in Eng land, rather than expose her age to those who were taking the census, paid the penalty of two poands.— lb. Two white men and two negroes were detected on the eve of the Bth inst. in an attempt to rub the store of Mr. Benjamin Hall, of Augusta. It seems they had, the evening previous, succeeded in get ting from it a barrel of sugar. A Jersey wagon, 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.
