THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12.
Distribution of the Scriptures.
Thf. correspondence of the British and Foreign
Bible Society furnishes information of a very in
teresting and gratifying character from the Conti
nent. The number of Bible Institutions in Ger
many has rapidly increased, and the talents, in
fluence and treasure of many of the nobility, and
other distinguished individuals, are enlisted in the
great and noble cause of distributing the Word of
Life to thonsunds of the destitute and ignorant,
who have heretofore lived as though this Sacred
Legacy had never been bequeathed to a fallen and
guilty world. Dr. Steinkopff, an agent of the So
ciety, lately visited the dominions of the King of
M'urteruberg, who is a liberal patron of the Bible
cause, and with whom he had a very pleasing in
terview. This prince assured the agent that he re
joiced in having so many good people in his king
dom who were cordially attached to the religion
of the Bible, and zealous for its propagation ; and
that he considered it his own sacred duty to aid
them in their benevolent exertions. In the
course of his conversation with Dr. S. he observ
ed :—“ It is true, some sects have arisen ; but 1
consider it right and proper to exercise every pos
sible indulgence, and to grant toleration to all
classes of my subjects ; for the religion of Christ
breathes the spirit of mildness , conciliation and
love ; it cannot be forced : nor must it be propa
gated by the strong arm of power, but by the gen
tle roice of persuasion, and the prevailing force of
truth.'’ How infinitely more honourable to a
monarch are sentiments like these, than the dia
dem that glitters on his brow, or the sceptre that
is brandished in his hand !
At Kircheim,the residence of the dowager dutch
ess of Wurteniberg, a Bible Society was formed, at
the organization of which the dutchess and her
daughter, (the present queen) attended with their
court, and were the first to affix their names
to the constitution : the dutchess observing, when
signing the rules, “ This day has salvation come
to my house,'” and declaring that she considered
“ her palace blessed by the formation of a Bi
ble Society in it.” A Missionary Society was
also instituted, and liberally encouraged by the
company present. With the Prince of Hesse
Dormstadt Dr. Steinkopff had likewise an inter
view, and received the most unqualified assuran
ces of support.
Dr. Pinkerton writes from Finland, that the
Auxiliary Societies in that province are actively
engaged in printing and distributing the Scriptures;
and that 20,000 Bibles and Testaments have been
already furnished. The Finnish Testament has
been stereotyped at St. Petersburgh, and sent on.
The Swedish Bible Spciety at Stockholm has
an extensive printing establishment whence large
editions of the Bible and Testament are constant
ly issuin':. The Swedish peasantry are generally
able to read, but have heretofore been ill-supplied
with copies of the Scriptures.
The Danish Bible Society has 36 regularly or
ganized auxilaries, and is actively engaged in
printing and circulating the Sacred Scriptures.—
While at Copenhagen, Dr. Pinkerton visited the
“ House of Punishment,” w here he found upwards
of 350 criminals, employed in various labours.
“ Not a chain,” says he, “ was*o be seen on the
body of any of them. In several of the working
rooms, and in the hands of some of the sick in the
hospital my satisfaction was great at beholding
copies of the Word of Cod.”
In Russia the great work of circulating the
Scriptures among the multitudes of that extensive
empire, is prosecuted with the utmost efficiency
and zeal. They have been translated into most
of the different languages spoken in the imperial
dominions, and a very large proportion of the ex
pense ihiis incurred has been defrayed by the em
perour. The subjoined extract is from the speech
of Prince Gallilzin at the last (7th) anniversary
pfePting of the Russian Bible Society :
“ Our peasantry, by reading the Scriptures, are
made wi*e unto salvation. Our warriours, serving
on the dry land and on the waters, with groat de
sire and joy seek to possess for themselves the
Bible, and do not fail to part with the last farthing
to obtain it ; steadfastly believing that therein
they shall find the way of salvation to their souls.
The young have the first principles of their edu
cation grounded on the word of God, befor- their
minds are prejudiced against it by worldly wis
dom- Among our clergy, we behold great exer
tions to increase the knowledge of the word, by
translating it into the different languages of the
natives of Hussia, circulating it among them, and
collecting subscriptions to aid the funds of the
Society. At present there is hardly a province
in the empire, where the cause of disseminating
the holy scriptures is not known. From the
shores of the Baltick to the Kiachta, they are
circulated by various means. Copies of them
have reached the distant inhabitants of the shores
of Russia North America. On the other hand,
the Kirghezes and Persians are supplied with them
—the natives around the Caspian and Black Seas
are partaking of them—the Georgian* and Bes
sarabians are furnished with these silent preach
ers of salvation.”
Four millions of Bibles have been published in
different languages by European Bible Socie
ties ; to which number the American Bible Soci
ety has added nearly a quarter of a million.

COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. Editors ,
Having had the pleasure to attend both the
Georgia and Sarepta Associations, I beg leave to
communicate through your useful paper, some in
telligence in which the Christian community have
an interest. The Augusta Church, a Member of
Georgia, in her letter giving the ordinary ac
count oi .... , .
’ 4 —jested the
propriety of adopting some plan to assist the Col
lege and Theological Seminary which have been
recently established at Washington, D. C.—
Though there was, when the subject was first
introduced, a want <\f cheerfulness to assist the in
stitution, (I cannot say opposition to its prosperi
ty,) in two or three of the delegates who did not
so clearly comprehend the design ; yet when this
was explained, they cordially gave their approba
tion, and it was agreed that the churches be re
quested to contribute such sums as they may
think proper.
Seeing the abuses which have been made of hu
man learning, as a denomination we have under
rated its real value. Because some, who have
shared its advantages, have prostituted their tal
ents to degrading purposes, we have laid all their
sins and mischiefs to their learning, instead of their
hearts, u deceitful above all tiiiugs” before educa
tion. It must cheer the heart of every Christian,
let his name be whatsoever it may, to discover,
by our benevolent exertions of late, that we have
more correct views concerning the worth of learn
ing to the holy ministry.
Wo favo net harl, fill wit bin a ft’ ur yn: rs J,
any seminary of a theological character. The
one at Philadelphia has sent forth a few able la
bourers into the vineyard—the one at Waterville,
in Maine, and that in the Western part of New
York are yet in their infancy. The Christian,
who regards the interests of religion, will view the
one now established at Washington with no ordi
nary emotions ; he will rejoice that the exertions
for its advancement have been so signally blessed.
The College connected with it, from its situation
at the Capital of the United States, and sharing
so many advantages, if properly conducted by its
present respectable officers, will soon lay claim to
a distinguished rank among the Institutions of our
country. “ The establishment of the institution
within the Federal District, in the presence of
Congress, and of all the Departments of the gov
ernment,” says President Monroe, “ will scours
to young men who may be educated in it, many
important advantages ; among which, the oppor
tunity which it will afford them of hearing the de
bates in Congress, and in the Supreme Court, on
important subjects, must be obvious to all.”
The subject of forming a General Associa
tion of delegates from the several asso< iations
now in existence, was discussed on Tuesday.—
The advantages and real importance of such a
meeting were portrayed in several addresses to the
chair, and it was unanimously agreed that dele
gates be sent to meet those of other associations.
They meet at Powtlton on Thursday before the
last Sabbath in June. TheOcmulgee Association
has appointed delegates who will convene at the
same place.
The importance of the General Association had
been suggested"!*! the minutes of the Sarepta of
1820; but when it w-as asked, at its late session,
“ Shall we send delegates ?” it was answered in
the negative. No reason was assigned for the an
swer. Not quite a hundred had been united to
the Churches during the past year by baptism—
-240 had been added to those of the Georgia, and
more than S3OO contributed for Domestick and
Foreign Missions, and the College at Washington.
The funds of the Sarepta have been recintly de
voted to Indiau reform. They have a school in
the Cherokee nation, which promises usefulness.

Legislature of Georgia.
The members elect of the legislature of this
State assembled at Milledgeville on Monday
last. On Tuesday a quorum of both houses was
formed, and the usual officers appointed. Mat.
thew Talbot, Esq. of Wilkes, was chosen
President of the Senate, and General David
Adams, of Jasper, Speaker of tbe House. On
Thursday both houses proceeded to the choice of
Governour, and on couuting the ballots, His
Excellency JOHN CLARK, was declared to be
re-elected Governour of the State of Georgia.
The votes were as follows:
C*. Anit, H

Gen. Walker, Senator from Richmond, and
Mr. Paramour, Representative from Telfair, we
understand were tbe only members absent at the
election. The former gentleman was detained
by sickness.

General Intelligence.
FOREIGN.
English papers to the 16th of September, which
have been received in New York, continue to
give the most contradictory statements respect
ing the affairs of Russia and Turkey. Some of
the German and French journals state that war
was resolved upon, and that the Russian army
had crossed the Pruth ; while others contend that
Alexander would take no decisive step without
the concurrence of his allies, and it was not to be
expected that they would consent to the occupa
tion of the Turkish territories by Russian (toons. i
The overturevßrsfejflofroe adjustment l
jf differences, are declared to be of such a nature i
as to deprive Russia of every reasonable pretext 1
for going to war. These overtures are said to be
in substance —the free passage of the Dardanelles 1
lo Russian ships— the re-construction of the
Greek churches which have been destroyed—rep
aration as far as possible for the disorders which
have taken place—and the evacuation by the
Turkish troops of Wallachia and Moldavia, aF
soon as the rebellion is crushed, and peace res
tored. The Porte likewise declares that all the
measures of severity which have been resorted to
were directed against the rebels, without the least
intention of attacking the Christian religion ; and
that the Greek patriarch was executed as a traitor,
and not as a Christian minister.
It is affirmed in a letter from Paris, that the
Duke of Wellington’s late visit to that city was
for the purpose of creating anew league to oppose
th designs of Russia ; and that an cffei was made
’ by the British government to restore to France
her old limits on the Rhine, the Isle of France
and one or two of tile West India colonies, on
condition that she should march an army toward?
Austria, while the British land and naval force*
co-operated in the Baltick and Mediterranean.
To this proposal the King of France was disposed
to agree ; but it was found impossible to raise a
sufficient army for such a purpose without resort
ing to the conscription system of Bonaparte, a
measure which he dare not take. It is likewise
said that the Duke of Wellington warmly remon
strated to the Russian minister in Paris against
any attempt by Russia to extend ber territory,
concluding with the threat that a general war in
Europe would be the unavoidable consequence,
if Alexander persisted in his designs upon Turkey.
Tbs-nam* author!tit itisi uO one in runs
believed that peace could be preserved. The
Russians are clamorous far war, and the opportu
nity was considered too favourable to be lost.—
Nothing but unconditional submission on the side
of the Turks would prevent hostilities.
The Russian minister to the Ottoman court
had safely arrived in Odessa, from Constantinople.
A naval action took place on the 25th of July
between the Greek and Turkish fleets, near the
isle of Samos, which terminated in the complete
defeat of the latter. The Turkish admiral had
previously landed 13,000 men upon the island,
and a desperate conflict ensued between them
and the inhabitants ; the Turks were finally driv
en back to (he water’s edge, and re-embarked.
\t that moment the Greek fleet, consisting prin
cipully of small vessels, appeared on the coast,
and was immediately attacked by the Turks.—
The Greek admiral, by a skillful manoeuvre, drew
their large vessels into a situation where they
were unable to act with effect, and suddenly
bearing down upon the remainder, succeeded in
burning eight, capturing six, and sinking several
more. A few only escaped of the 39 sail which
composed the squadron. This victory, it is said,
insures to the Greeks the dominion of the sea.
Prince Ypsilanti is again at the head of a Gretli
army, and has stormed the town of Tripolitza. Al
the last dates he was besieging Patras. A despe
rate battle was fought in the Morea, in which the
Greeks were defeated with the loss of 3000 men.
Another massacre had taken place in Constan
tinople, and 200 Greeks sacrificed to the fury of
the populace. An old man appeared in the
streets, who gave opt that he was a prophet, and
announced the duwnfal of the Ottoman empire,
I from a passage in the Koran, which excited the.
| populace to the greatest fury. The government,
| however, succeeded in allaying the tumult, and
j arrested the prophet, who has not since been
1 heard of.
New troubles have ensued in Spain. Gen. Mo
rillo is charged with being at the head of a coun

CAPTURE OF THE PIRATES.
Havana, October 24, 1821.
Arrived from Liverpool, the American ship
Lucies, Capt. Missroon. On the 16th, this ship
was taken possession of by the famous pirates
who cruize off Cape St. Antonio, and as these
picaroons were about plundering her, the U. S.
, brig Enter price fortunately hove in sight, and
- succeeded in capturing the piratical fleet, consist
j ing of four schooners and one sloop. The sea
j robbers had the audacity to hoist the red flag,
i Besides the vessels captured, there was an open
boat attached to the same gang, which effected
her escape.—The prizes have been sent to
Charles/on, where the crews will be tried. The
ship was brought in by a midshipman of said U.
‘S. brig.
We have been horrour-struck by the depreda
tions and piracies lately committed by these buc
