I am your fellow-citizen, JOHN CLARK. 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. * ‘ ‘ The Sacrament of the Lord't Supper w ;i] be administered at,Mount Zion, on the nej Sabbath, tuvh inst. 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. S. The Baptist Slate Convention of South Caroli na will meet at Columbia, on the first Tuesday in December. Jesse Mercer will preach the Fu neral Sermon of Mr. Abner Atkinson, at the late residence of the deceased, on Wednesday, 14th inst. 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 T roup, 72 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. The Governour’s Message will be found on the preceding page of this paper. 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 -1 ter-revolulionary project, and .Madrid has again become the theatre of political commotion and puhlick consternation. The widow of Gen. Moreau died at Bordeaux I in August. j The Congreve Rockets, which have heretofore been employed in the destruction of human life, , are said to have been Successfully used in killing ■ the whale by the British exploring expedition now in the arotick regions. The harvest in England has been much injured by heavy rains, and a great advance had taken , place in the price of flour. Large shipments were consequently making in N. York for the English j market. An advance of l-2d on Sea Island and l-4d on Upland Cottons took place at Liverpool on the 15th Sept, and the demand wat very animated for the latter description at 8 l-2d to lid. 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 caneers, and we congratulate the mercantile world on the capture of those unprincipled men, the more particularly, as by thsir apprehension, important discoveries will be mde, by which we will find out who are their companions, who their protectors, and by whom fitted out; together with other interesting information.

C. was committed to jail in Raleigh, on the 22d instant, charged with rob bing the U. States’ mail at different times. It is expected that the Legislature of Tennessee at its present session, will abolish imprisonment for debt, except in cases where property is fraud ulently concealed by the debtor. Southern Mail Robbed. —The southern mail was robbed on the morning of Friday, the 26th mst. near Elkton, Md. by a person dressed in a olue coat and white pantaloons, who got into the wagon, as a passenger at Havre de Grace. He knocked down the driver, tied him to a tree, cut open the mail bag, tore open the letters, and rob bed them of their contents. A person coming along the road at day light next morning, was hailed by the driver, but instead of going to his relief, he went to a neighbouring farm to get as sistance, when the driver was untied and the let ters put into the bag and carried to Elkton. Upwards of 200 persons immediately volunteer ed and went in pnreuit of the robber. A reward of 200 dollars is offered for his detection. [ Freeman's Journal. On Saturday last the negro fellow Essex was executed pursuant to sentence, at Effingham Court House. We understand that on the scaf fold he made a full confession of the murder of Mr. Saunders, and the attempt to murder Mr. Dove, and appeared to be duly impressed with his awful situation. Sav. Geo.
