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.” Thursday last was set apart by the publick au 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. Freeman YVaiker, Esq. has resigned his seat as a Senator of this State in National Legisla ture. The deaths in the city of Savannah for the week ending on the 9th of September, were 11—8 of fever. The following gentlemen were elected a Board of Aldermen for the city of Savannah, at the late election : James Morrison, Moses Herbert, Wm. W. Wa ring, Moses Sheftall, sen. Michael Browu, W. C. Daniel, Levi S. l)’Lyon, Mordecai Sheftall, sen. G. L. Cope, Charles Harris, J. P. Henry, T. N. Morell, F. S. Fell and Joseph Cumming. James Morrison, Esq. was re-elected Mayor. A material errour was committed in our two last papers, in announcing the name of Law son Bulloch, Esq. as a candidate for “ Tax Col lector —it is the office of Receiver of Tax Re turns for which Mr. B. is a candidate. either of marriages or deaths, sent to this office for publication, must come attested by the name of some responsible person, or they cannot be inserted.

General Intelligence. 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 500 Napoleons. ___ 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. ded scholar.—“ Although,” said he, “ 1 feel my strength decaying, I am not yet so prostrate as to take refuge ir> spiritual remedies. But wl.en this i happens, I must have another spiritual guide be sides the two who at present attend me, one of 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.” [Carolina Centinel. 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.
