THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17.
Thebe are few subjects of general interest in
relation to which a greater diversity of opinion
has been expressed, than respecting those which
are connected with American Genius and Litera
ture. This clashing of sentiment may be found on
both sides of the Atlantick, and has become a
kind of pervading spirit in all those works which
assume the prerogative of giving authority to the
productions of taste and talents. This spirit, as
is too often the case where the contending inter
ests and feelings of party are concerned, has run
into extremes upon both sides of the question. It
has for some years been fashionable in Europe,
and especially in Great Britain, to represent the
inhabitants of the United States as below medioc
rity in genius and learning; and as not likely ev
er to attain (he proud elevation occupied by some
of the older nations of the earth. This sentiment
has been iudustriously circulated through the me
dium of Periodical Publications of the first intel
lectual order, and has been generally combatted,
ts far as it has met with contradiction, by writers
of an inferiour stamp, whose political predilec
tions aud antipathies have probably contributed a
larger amount in the production of this result in
onr favour, than a correct knowledge or a candid
estimation of our national institutions and char
acter. Among ourselves there are not a few
whose feelings and sentiments accord with those
expressed by British Reviewers, and who deem it
an indispensable requisite in every production of
merit, that it originate on the other side of the
Atlantick.—A kind of adulation, bordering upon
literary idolatry, is thus paid to other nations,
while the dawnings of genius and the incipient es.
forts of literature, are overlooked and neglected
among ourselves. It operates much to our dis
advantage as a nation, that we too often find men
of classical eminence under the blind guidance of
this foreign partiality. But other writers have
taken the opposite extreme. America is repre
sented by some as the only tolerable part of the
globe, and its citizens as monopolizing the morali
ty, taste, genius and science of the civilized
world. Our Newspapers, and our Orations, es
pecially those which are pronounced on the fourth
of July, abound with assumptions of the foregoing
character. In their estimation, our Universities
and Colleges stand at the head of literary estab
lishments -our philosophers have never been ri
valled—our statesmen are the first who have un
derstood the science of government—our poets
are compared with Virgil and Homer—and our
orators have never been equalled except by here
and there a prodigy in the Republicks of Greece
and Rome.
For the truth on these points, we must look in
the middle region between these remote extremes.
Disclaiming all pretensions to that national per
fection with whichthe puerile vanity ofsome would
invest us, we would modestly claim, for ourselves
as a people,those talents both natural & acquired,
which we actually possess. In point of native
genius , we see no reason why the American peo
ple should be inferiour to the nations of Europe
from whom they are descended. There is no
thing in the nature of onr climate, soil or scenery
which should cause, upon this continent, a dete
rioration of human powers. Our political and
moral institutions too, are admirably adapted to
the cultivation of ornamental and useful learning.
All that now appears necessary to give us an ele
vated rank among the most refined and learned
nations of the world, is the formation of a more
distinct national character, a concentration of
our intellectual resources, and an increased at
tention to the literary institutions which already
exist among us.
An Institution has been recently established,
styled The America;v Academv of Lax
ccage And Belles Lettres, which is proba
bly destined to exert no inconsiderable influence
’ upon the literature of our country. It is the in
tention of this association “ to combine the best
character and talent in the country,” and though
its progress hitherto has been silent and anobserv
ed, it already numbers between ninety and one
hundred who have given their decided approba
tion of its objects. The city of New York may
be considered the centre of this Institution, tho’
its members reside in every part of the Union. In
Georgia there are eight. The association is pure
ly literary, and of course knows no distinctions
of a political nature. The promotion and diffu
sion of literature is its grand object. The Socie
ty are now engaged in inquiring into the state of
Universities aud Colleges in the United States,
and arrangements will be made to procure similar
information from other parts of the world. Com
mon schools will likewise become objects of at
tention, that all classes, not excepting the poor,
may enjoy the blessings of useful instruction.
Every thing directly connected with taste and fine
writing will claim the special regard of the Soci
ety. A committee has been appointed “to col
lect throughout the United States, a list, of words
and phrases, whether acknowledged corruptions
or words of doubtful authority, which are charged
upon us as bad English, with a view to| take the
best practical course for promoting the purity and
uniformity of our language.”
In the prosecution of their objects, “ The Amer
ican Academy of Language aud Belles Lettres”
will bestow medals and premiums upon those
authors whose works are calculated to ba exten
sively useful, and who, in their execution, do
hqpour to American literature. The following,
have already been offered.
11 At a meeting of The American Academy of.
Language and Belles Lettres, held at the City-
Hall in the city of Ne-.v-York, October 20, 1820,
—Hon. Brockholst Livingston, First Vice-Presi- 1
dent, in the chair; Rev. John B. Romeyn, D. I). 1
Clerk,—the following preamble and‘resolution
were unanimously adopted:
As the proper education of youth is in all com- I
munities closely connected with national prpsper
ity and honour; aud as it is particularly impor
tant in the United States, that the rising genera
tion should possess a correct knowledge of their
wvn country, and a patriotick attachment to its
welfare
Resolved, that a premium of not less than four
hundred dollars, and a good medal worth fif
ty dollars be given to the author, being an
American citizen, who within two years shall pro
duce the best written history of the United States,
and which, with such history shall contain a suit
able exposition of the situation, character and in
terests, absolute and relative, of the American
Kcpublick: calculated for a class book in acade
mies and schools. This work is to be examined
and approved by a committee of the institution,
in reference to the interest of its matter, the just
ness of its facts and principles, the purity, perspi
cuity and elegance of its style, and its adaptation
to its intended purpose.
Tho’ it iswished to interfere as little as possible
withthe freedom of judgment,in authors,yet it will
be expected that the examining committee, in ac
cepting a work which is to receive the premium
and sauction of the Society, will suggest the al
teration of any word, phrase or figure, which is
not strictly pure and correct, according to the
best usage oi the English Language.
By order of the Academy,
/ ALEX. Me. LEOD,
Recordirg Secretary.”
At the quarterly meeting, 4th June 1821, held
at the City Hall, in the city of New-York, the fol
lowing resolution, having been previously laid be
fore the Society, was passed. Members of the
Society are requested to furnish a copy for pub
lication in any part of the United States, where it
may not have been made known.
Resolved, that a premium of two hundred dol
lars and a gold medal be given to the author, be
ing an American citizen, who within two years,
shall produce, to the acceptance of the examin
ing committee of this institution, a small volume
ot original reading lessons for common schools,
which shall best combine useful instruction aud
just principles with attractive elegance and purity
of style, calculated for children from five to ten
years old, and adapted to the faculties of the hu
man mind at that age.”

thorities of Savannah as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer to Almighty God, for the unusual de
gree of health enjoyed by the inhabitants of the
city, and to supplicate Him for a continuance of
the blessing.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.
From English papers to the 17th of July, receiv
ed at Baltimore and Charleston.
The Queen. —The Cabinet Council having de
termined that the Queen consort had no legal right
to he crowned at the approaching coronation of
the King, a note was despatched to her majesty,
announcing this decision, to which she replied,
by insisting on the justice of her claim, intimating
her intention to be present at the ceremony, and
demanding that a suitable place be assigned her.
To this Lord Sidmouth replied in a short note, in
forming her majesty, that if was the pleasure of I
her royal husband that she should not attend the
ceremony, and that no provision would be made
for her reception. She had, however, declared
her intention to persist, and would be accompani
ed by Lord and Lady Hood, and Lady Hamilton.
Turks and Greeks. —The defeat of a Turkish
army of 10,000 men, near Galatz, is confirmed.—
The Greek® attacked the rear of this force, and
succeeded in capturing a Pacha, and 16 pieces of
cannon—3ooo Turks were killed. Accounts
from Vienna state that several bloody actions took
place between the Bth and 12th of June, in the
vicinity of Tergowilz. The Turks attacked the
position of Prince Ypsilanti, and were repulsed
with considerable slaughter. Jassy has been re
taken by the Greeks, and a provisional govern
ment established there. Macedonia and Illyria
were considered perfectly free of Turkish author
ity. At Constantinople the massacre and impris
onment of the. Greeks continued. A French pa
per of the Jst July states, on the authority of an
article from Vienna, that Count Wittgenstien had
crossed the Danube at the head of a large Rus
sian army, and was marching for Constantinople.
A Russian fleet had sailed from the Black Sea to
co-operate, as was supposed, with this force.
When the Minister announced to the French
Chamber of Deputies, the death of Bonaparte,
he exclaimed, “ ’The Usurper is dead ! the parti
sans of Napoleon may now fry out, ‘ Long live
(he Einperour !’” A member replied—“lt is a
kick of the ass—the lion is dead !” The meeting
dissolved in confusion. Gen. Rapp, the Gov.
59
ctnour of Paris, when apprized of the ex-empe
ronr’s decease, shed tears. This circumstance
was communicated to the King, who informed
the General, that far from blaming his sensibility,
he regarded it as anew pledge of his fidelity. “ 11
is true, sire,” said Gen. Rapp, “ that I felt deep
emotion on learning the death of a man to whom
I owe every thing—even the happiness of serving
your majesty.” A French paper states that Bo
uapurte has left forty millions of francs, which
sum is deposited in the tower of London, ilia
son is heir to this property.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Bennet asked
why the name of Bonaparte’s French physician
was not affixed to the document stating the cause
of his death, as it was a remarkable omission.—
Lord Castlereagh said he could not account for it.
Alarming disturbances have taken place in
Spain. A conspiracy was discoveied having for
its object the overthrow of the Constitution, and
the investment of absolute power in the King.
Several arrests were the consequence, and the
most active measures adopted to apprehend the
conspirators who had fled.
A bloody affray took place between the Cath
olicks and Orangemen on the Ist July, at Bandon,
Ireland. The militia were compelled to interfere.
The prices of American cotton at Liverpool had
experienced a considerable advance.
From the London True Briton, July 11.
GENERAL BONaBARIE.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Bonaparte may be said to have died heroically
rather than otherwise, as the pain arising from the
disease must have been very acute, and he never
uttered a complaint, lie refused medicine as
ustless, and stated, a month previous to his death,
that he should never rise from his bed again. At
that period he also said that he was confident he
knew better than the surgeons what his disease
was, arid that it was the same that his father died
of. The pain that it gave him he described as if
a knife had been run into his body and broke
short off, the wound closing externally afterwards.
A few tiours previous to his decease, he is said to
have gradually drawn his hands from his sides,
and to have clasped them over his breast, doubt
less offering up a prayer at the same time ; he
then released them, and they fell into their former
position. During the latter part of his illness, his
eyes,were constantly fixed on the full length por
trait of his son, which was hung up by his request
at the foot of his bed, and it seems that his attach
ment to the child was very great. The last words
of Bonaparte have not yet beed recorded ; they
were uttered in a state of delirium, but still show
what was working in his mind: ‘Mon fils [my
son] were he first words, and afterwards he mur
mured what seemed to the hearers to be ‘ tele
d'armecs.’ [head of the army] He shortly after
wards said ‘ France,’ and never spoke again. I'he
head and face of Bonaparte were immensely
large in proportion to his body ; they may with
great propriety be said to be the only parts that
could be reckoned fine; his face, fourteen hours
alter his death, was one of the most interesting
that could be imagined ; but from the extreme
heat of the climate, the decay was so rapid, that
shortly afterwards the features collapsed, and at
the time he was laid in slate, after his having been
opened, the countenance had undergone a total
alteration. His body was altogether mean ; bones
very small, and very little muscle. He was very
fat even at the time of his death.
On opening him, his heart vvas found very small
and feeble, and loaded with fat; his liver was
large, and one of his kidneys reversed. It seems
that he would have died much sooner if the liver
had not forced itself into the hole in his stomach,
and hindered the aliment from escaping ; but ex
cept from a slight irritation, naturally to be ex
pected at this part of the liver, as it was in con- ‘
tact with the diseased quarter, it was completely
sound and healthy, and did not show the least
symptoms of the complaint which he was stated, ;
by ir. O’Meara, to suffer under. His hand was
rather effeminate, but beautiful. The wounds on
his body were as lollows: a small wound on the
head, received from the halbert of an English ser
geant af Toulon ; one above the knee by a spent
ball, received at Ratisbon; and one near the an
kle, a deep mu-ket ball graze that he received in
Italy. His cranium did not give the satifaction to
the craniologists that was anticipated. A great
deal of trouble was taken by Doctors Mitchell
and Burton, to have a cast of his face and craiii
urn—-but, unfortunately, the quality of the gyp
sum, which was only to be procured from the isl
and, was such as rendered all their attempts fruit
less. A short time previoos to his death he
scratched an N with a penkife on a snuff box, !
which he presented to Dr. Arnott for his atten
dance on him, and has left the above gentleman

Bonaparte's Religion —A letter, dated St. Hel
ena, April 28. has been published in the London
Times, of which the following is an extract:
“ With regard to a priest, lie desired a man of
knowledge and experience, a learned divine, ca
pable, of discussing religious subjects, able to an
swer his questions, to resolve his doubts and to in
struct him in the sacred Scriptures—a man be
tween 40 and 50 years of age, and a well groun.

take refuge ir> spiritual remedies. But wl.en this
i happens, I must have another spiritual guide be

iv hoin has not yet shaken off (be dust of the schools.
Voltaire himself, in the view of death, threw him
self into the arms of religion; and who knows
but that I may acquire a taste for the subject and
become pious?”
General Bertrand. —There is perhaps no person
in the civilized world, that holds in his hand more
moral power atthe present moment than gen. Ber
trand. He possessed the undivided confidence
of Napoleon ; during his confinement in Elba, he
solicited and obtained leave to attend his sove
reign, during the whole course of that confinement.
When Bonaparte was incarcerated in St. Helena,
the confidence of gen. Bertrand remained unsha
ken, and he shared his confinement with him. un
til the death of the emperour. Now, whatever
he says of his deceased patron will be believed,
and he is now probably gone to Austria, to en
gage the emperour of Germany, in the interest of
his son in-law deceased. The account states, that
he solicited and was refused, the liberty of taking
the heart of his benefactor along with him. 7'his
would, we presume, have been given to the son
of the ex-emperour, accompanied with the dying
injunctions ofhis parent. He goes home, we may
rely upon it, from no friendly motives to the trau
quillity of Europe.—The papers and manuscripts
of Bonaparte, if taken possession ofby the British
government, even if published anthentick, would
weigh nothing in the scale against the solitary
testimony of Gen Bertrand.
[Balt. Morn. Chronicle.
From (he Norfolk Herald, Aug. 27.
It is ptated in an advertisement which we pub
lish today, that the dead body of a man, sewed
up in a blanket, was found floating in Pasquotauk
river, near Joshua Sawyer’s landing, (in Camden
County, N.C.) upon which a murder had been
committed, evidently by a man uamed David
Yellowlv. The circumstances of this affair are
not a little remarkable, and serve as another in
stance of a providential agency in the develope
ment of this worst of crimes, even though it be
concealed by all the art and ingenuity which fear
of punishment can lend to the guilty perpetrator.
About the first of this month, Joseph Yellowlyi
alias Captain Yellowly, (for he has been a ship
master) departed from this place in a canal boat
for Plymouth, N. C. taking with him a man (not
known by name to any one in this place, that we
can learn) as a passenger. The boat was detain
ed a short time at River Bridge, where it was as
certained and reported to one of the hands on
hoard of her, that this passenger had a very
large surn of money about him. On the 4th the
boat reached Sawyer’s landing, where there was a
pile of stones, a few of which they took on board,
as they stated, for ballast, although admonished
by Mr. Sawyer not to take them, as he wanted
them for a particular purpose. Among the stones
thus taken by Yellowly, was one having some
peculiarity about it, which rendered it remarka
ble, and easy to be identified by any one who had
ever seen it.
A few days after Yellowly had touched at the
landing, the discovery was made of the flouting
corpse. It appeared to have been stabbed in the
throat with a large knife, directly across the jugu
lar vein; and upon a further examination it was
found that the neck had been broken. From a
considerable rip in the sewing of the blanket, it
was supposed that some heavy weight had been
sewed up with the body to sink it, and that the
sewing having given way, the weight fell out aud
permitted the body to rise to the surface of the
water. This suggestion was soon confirmed by a
circumstance which at the same time disclosed
the author of the bloody deed; for, on opening
the blanket, a stone dropped out—and, strange
to say ! the identical stone we have just descri
bed as so remarkable in its appearance, which
Yellowly and his people had taken, among others,
from Sawyer’s landing ! Had it been a common
one, which might have been picked up any where
else, as well as at Sawyer’s landing, it is probable
that suspicion as to the murderer would have
been silent, and further inquiry deemed unavail
ing—but being susceptible of immediate identity,
the inference from the circumstance of its remo
val, in connexion with the murder, became infal
lible. Nor is it less worthy of remark, that all
the stones which were sewed up in the blanket
with the body, should have dropped through the
; rip, and been lost, save this particular one, w hich
seems to have been specially preserved by tlie
| same inscrutable agency which caused it to be
i detached from its depository at the landing, to
| hear witness to this horrid deed! ‘Thus can Pro
vidence make evpn the stones to cry out against
the guilty murderer!
It was further proved, that the day astir Yel
lowly passed the landing, there was one person
less in the boat with him than was seen on board
the preceding day ; and that the missing person
was he who was said to be a passenger, and who
was reported to have had a large sum of money
about him. No particulars whatever respecting
this person have transpired ; nor have we heard
what became of the canal boat and the hands. It
appears however that Yellowly, for the apprehen
sion of whom a warrant was issued, lias fled.
It is proper to remark of this man, that those
who have had any transactions with him in
this place believed him to be upright in his con
duct and incapable of a crime so atrocious.
So favourable indeed is the report we have had of
him, that although we have been in possession of
the above particulars for more than a week, we
declined publishing them until we could do so
upon official authority.
Newbern, N. C. Ang. 25.
| An unfortunate occurrence took place near this
, town on Monday evening last, the particulars of
i, which are communicated to us in the following
P t article:
“Captain John Rhem received orders on Sat
. j urday last, to take the whole or part of his com
| pany and patrol the district between Bachelor
| Creek and Powel’s Branch, for runaway negroes.
On Monday, his company was turned out accor
! dingly. The same day, a little Post Boy ho
! carries a mail to Streets’ returned to Neivbern
with a doleful tale of having seen three negroes in
i j the woods, before reaching the bridge, and that
one of them pointed a gun towards him. On his
return to Newbern, he met the Washington Mail
Stage. The driver, alarmed by his story, took
the Kingston road, and falling in with a part of
Capt. Rhem’s company, they guarded him to the
Washington road and across the bridge. On the
other side, the driver gave the alarm, and a party
of ten men turned out voluntarily and without I
orders, to stop runaways, and established them
selves at the foot of the bridge, on the north side
of the river. Capt. Rhem with eight men took
possession of the centre of the bridge for the same
purpose, and the party on the north side of the
j bridge heard Rhem’s men all the first part of the
night.
As soon as the moon rose, four of the men on
the south side of the bridge were sent away.
About an hour after the moon rose, those who
remained beard persons advancing from the north
side, and when they were within 25 paces from
him, Capt. Rhem hailed, “ Who comes there?”
. They replied, “ W ho’s that ?” Capt. R. then said,
“ Stand, or I will fire on you.” The same instant
the word of comtuand was given to the party on
the north side, to fire, which was promptly obey
ed, and Capt. Rhem fell against F. Amyett, hav
ing receiver! a buck-shot in his breast, and four
through his right arm, near the shoulder. One of
his men, A. Taylor, was also shot down, having a
wound in the head. One of Capt. R’s men then
fired, and he, recovering sufficiently to stand up,
filed the second gun himself; two others imme
diately fired, and it is supposed that their shots
and Capt. Rhein’s took effect—wounding three of
the opposite party, viz. Mr. Bexley, Mr. Kelly,
aqd Mr. Ewell. After firing, both parties retreat
ed, leaving Taylor, Bexley and Ewell on the
bridge (he remainder of the night.
“ Capt. R. is said to be dangerously wounded,
and two of the others badly.”

THE LAND LOTTERY.
From the briskness with which the Surveyors
are making their returns, there is reason to be
live that the land lottery will commence drawing
about the 15th or 20th of October.
The lottery will be conducted on a plan differ
ent from that of the former lotteries. All the
numbers of lots constituting prizes will be placed
in one wheel without blanks among thera—the
names of persons entitled to draws in another.
The drawing will commence, and continue until
all the prizes are drawn out. The nams remain
ing in the wheel, will be considered as having
drawn blanks.
This plan will make a great saving of both time
and expense. Journal.
