POETRY.
THE VISION OF ST. JOHN—as extract!
———When in rocky Patinos lone,
I commun’d with the Holiest One,
And o’er my head dread thunders broke,
And thus the viewless seraph spoke—
* Mortal! from earth awake ! arise!
And view the secrets of the skies.’
Hearken, my children—and behold
The glories of the latter day ;
When heaven its portals shall unfold.
And earth and skies shall pass away.
It is the Eternal Sire’s decree,
That thus the final hour should be—
Pomp—glory—grandeur shall decay.
But his high word endure for aye.
One foot on earth, and one on sea,
A mighty angel towers to heaven;
Before his glance the mountains tlee;
Beneath his tread the depths are riven—
Wreathed radiant round his brows divine
The bright hues of the rainbow shine;
His aspect—like the broad red glare
Os the fierce sun’s meridian ray—
Beams forth intolerable day—
The glory of the Lord is there.
Loud as the maddening lion’s ttmr,
Or as the wild surge beats the shore,
lie speaks—ifilue lightnings rend the sky,
And heaven in thunder gives reply.
Ne’er be those sounds, in mystery seal’d,
To human ear on earth reveal’d.
And when that fearful sign was given,
lie rais’d his dread right hand to heaven,
And thus the oath he swore—
* Ve spacious skies, thou rooted earth,
By Him who called you into birth
Your destined.date is o’er;
t swear by Him, whose sovereign sway,
The bright angelick hosts obey,
By Him who died, and lives for aye,
That lime shall be no more.’
Earth trembled at the sound, but O
What shrieks of wailing and of wo,
What frantick yells of wild despair,
Tumultuous rend the troubled air ;
In vain, the day of grace is o’er,
And love and pity plead no more.
Mark, where the rock-hewn cavern breaks,
And to his doom th’ Oppressor wakes;
Mark, where the fear-struck Despot now
Dashes the diadem from his brow;
Beneath his foot the firm earth rends;
The heavens are darkening o’er him ;
The Judge, the Sovereign Judge descends;
And who may stand before him!’
MISCELLANY.
TURKISH EMPIRE.
The rapid progress, and still more rapid
decline of'the Turkish power, are among ■
the most interesting phenomena, in the his-1
tory ot modern Europe. Lender any cir- j
cumstances, we could not behold with in- 1
difference, a people which seemed to spring
at once, from nothing, to the summit of em
pire—whose power was extended over the
classick regions of the east, in all the rig
our of barbarous and unrelenting despotism,
and which distinguished from the rest of
Europe by the character of its religion, its
law,- its manners and its customs, has stood
an isolated monument of the energy of su
perstitious enthusiasm.—The Turks are
descended from a Tartar horde, who emi
grated from the countries bordering on the
Caspian sea, about the year 850, and who,
for several centuries after, interfered, with
decisive effect, in the contests and revolu
tions of the Saracen Asiatick States. Oth
man, the chief of the Oguzian Tartars, is
reckoned the real founder of the Turkish
empire. He succeeded his father in 1289,
and his dominions were then confined to
the lordship of Siguta, in Bithynia, and a
small tract of adjoining territory. But the
good conduct of Othman, and the bravery
and zeal of his followers, enabled him
greatlj’ to extend the narrow limits of his
paternal inheritance, and to bequeath the
whole of Bithynia and of Cappadocia to his
son and successor. From this period the
tide of Turkish conquest began to roll for
ward with a force that could not be checked
by the feeble resistance of the Greeks. In
1338, the Ottoman troops first obtained a
footing in Europe ; and in little more than
a century after, (1453.) Mahomet 11. sword
iu hand, entered Constantinople, the capi
tal of the Greek empire. Selim, the
grandson of Mahomet, added Syria and
Egypt to the dominions of his ancestors;
and Solvman the magnificent, the cotempo
rary of the Emperour Charles V., and the
most accomplished of all the Ottoman
Princes, conquered the greater part of
Hungary, and in the East extended his sway
to the Euphrates. At this period the
Turkish was unquestionably the most pow
ful empire in the world. But even then it
had not reached ite greatest height. Soly
man was succeeded by other able princes ;
and the Ottoman arms continued to retain
the ascendancy over those of Christendom
until the famous John Sobieski, King of
Poland, forced them, in 1683, to raise the
siege cf Vienna. This marked the era of
their decline. For awhile they continued
ho oppose the Austrians and Hungarians
I nth doubtful fortune, aud with various
uccess; but the victories of Prince Eugene
;[ave a decisive superiorty to the Christians.
Trom this biow they never recovered;;
their empire continued ever since to fall,
like a star which shoots downwards,
through the expanse of the heavens ; until
at last their power seems tottering on the
verge of annihilation.
The Turks like their Tartar ancestors
are naturally a brave, patient and hardy
race. They were early inured to habits of
pillage and of blood ; and after embracing
the Mahometan faith, they found in the law
of the prophet, not a license only, but a
Command to desolate the world, and to
propagate tfieir religion end theif empire
by violence. The peculiar tenets and
leading doctrines of the Koran harmonized
in a particular manner with the ferocious,
ignorant, and superstitious minds of the
Turks, who early became the most zealous,
apostles of a religion, of which implicit,
faith and unconquerable energy are the vi
tal principles. The fanaticism knew no j
bounds. They literally believed that the 1
sword was the key of heaven and of hell; ■
and that to fall fighting in defence of the
true faith was the most glorious of deaths, i
and was accompanied with the largest por- j
tion of eternal felicity. Firm and unshak
en believers in the doctrine of predestina
tion—assured that no caution could avert,
and that no dangers could possibly accele
rate their inevitable destiny—they met
their enemies without fear or apprehension.
To the desperate energies which would
be exerted by principles like these, wield
ed too, by a succession of Sultans distin
guished for various and consummate ability,
the Greeks had nothing to oppose but dis
pirited troops, and generals equally desti
tute of skill and capacity. The total de
feat of Bajazet the grandson of Othman, by
Timour, in 1402, presented an opportunity
which, had it been rightly improved, might
have enabled the Greeks to expel the
Turks from Europe. But they were them
selves totally incapable of profiting by this
or any other event; and the schism of the
West, and the factions and wars of France,
F.ngland and Germany, deprived them of
; all foreign assistance, and enabled the
. Turks to repair their shattered fortunes,
i and again to become the terror and the
scourge of Christendom.
But the same cause to which the Turks
principally owed their original success—
the intolerant bigotry and fanaticism of
their religion—proved also the principal
cause of their decline. It insulated them
from the rest of Europe, and taught them
to look down with contempt and aversion
on the arts, the sciences, and the attain
ments of the infidel world.— u There is,”
to use their own words, “ but one law, and
that law forbids all communication with
infidels.”
Other causes have also contributed to
the decline of the power of the Turks.—
The fiery and impptuous zeal of the origin
al conquerors has long ago subsided ; —the
invention of gun-powder, and other im
provements in the system of modern war
fare, hare opposed an invincible obstacle
to the success of multitudes without discip
line, and courage without skill. That
frantick fervour, that contempt of danger,
and that superiority of numbers and bodily
strength, which formerly gave so decided a
superiority to the Ottoman arms, could not
enable them to contend with the science,
the cool deliberate courage, the artillery
and tacticks of the troops of Prince Eugene
; and of Suwarrow. The Turks have de-
I generated both in their civil and military
j institutions; but their present weakness is
j to be ascribed more to their not keeping
pace with the progress of their neighbours,
than to their positive decline.
Their ignorance, and confidence in the
doctrine of predestination prevent them
from suspecting the source of their inferi
orty to be in themselves : “ we effected our
conquests,” said the Mufti to the Baron de
Tatt, “ without any aid from European tac
ticks, nor do we now stand in need of them.
Our defeats are not the effects of human
force; they are the chastisements of our
crimes ; the decree of Heaven hath reach
ed us, and nothing can avert the wrath of
Omnipotence.”
The unlimited despotism of the Sultans
may be assigned as another cause of the
decline of the Turkish empire. The Sul
tan is at the head of both church and state.
He is regarded as the immediate vicege
rent of God, or rather of the Prophet, and
the most unresisting and passive obedience
to his command is inculcated as a primary
religious duty.
For a time during the rise of the Turk
ish power, this extraordinary exaltation of
the Sovereign was attended with no evil
consequences. The Sultans were generals
in war and legislators in peace ; they prac
tised from necessity, both the military and
peaceful virtues, in order to inspire confi
dence and attachment in their soldiery and
subjects—from personal observation they
were able to bestow rewards on those who
deserved them; and the necessity of sup
porting their own power, by the efficacy of
the talents and attachments of their officers
was a sure pledge of a judicious selection.
But when the tide ofTurkish conquest was
stopped, and the heirs of royalty, instead ofj
being educated in the council or in the field, j
were broogth up in the slothful luxury of
the Seraglio, their inclinations were vilified
by their habits, and their government grew
as vicious, as corrupt, and as worthless as
themselves. Influenced by private, and
often base affections, they committed the
administration to favourites without merit
or experience, and the incapacity of the
head, pervaded and paralyzed the whole
system of the state.
The extension of its boundaries also has
tened the decline of the empire, by increas-i
ing the number of its enemies, not of its:
i subjects. Submission to the power of the i
Turks averted indeed the stroke of death, l
but nothing short of embracing the religion .
of their Prophet could exonerate the van-:
quished from extortion and slavery. “ The
; conquered people, if they obstinately re
fused the offer of conversion, became, to
gether with (heir possessions, their indus
try anil their children, virtually the pro
perty of their masters. Their substance ■,
says the law is as our substance, their eye is ;
as our eye , their life as our life. —In such a ■
state of subjection, their claim tp justice;
; and security was little better than an empty I
sound, and their lives and fortunes were j
; made subservient to the necessities of the j
i State, and the interests of the superiour’
i and privileged class, who strove by every!
means, however injurious and insulting to!
thfeir feelings, to suppress, instead of excit
ing their energies, to debilitate their minds
to the level of slavery, and to ensure their
submission to tbe forms of government es
tablished by themselves.” (Mr. Thorn
ton’s Present state of Turky, vol. 11. p.tfO.)
“ All the officers of Government,” says
the same accurate and well-informed wri
ter, “ owe their appointment to the sole
favour of the Sultan, without respect to
birth, talents, services, or experience.—
! They are deposed or punished without tbe
| liberty of complaint or remonstrance ;
and at their death the Sultan inherits their
property. Governments of every descrip
tion are sold at the Porte; they are held
for the term of one year only, and at the
ensuing bairarn the leases must be renewed
or transferred to a less parsimonious com
petitor. In the publick registers, the pre
cise value of every important post under
government is recorded ; and the regular
remittance of taxes and tribute is the only
acknowledged criterion of upright adminis
tration. If the stipulated revenue duly
enters into the coffers of Government, no
inquiry is made whether it has been collect
ed by harsh or by lenient measures.
“When the inhabitants of a city, ora
province are dissatisfied with the Pacha,
they present their compliments in petition
at tbe Porte ; but unless they accompany
it with a larger sum than the Pacha finds it
convenient to give for his reappointment,
they seldom succeed in their application
for his removal —Contestations of this pub
lick nature, as well as those between pri
vate individuals, are determined, not by the
evidence of facts or the force of argument,
but by the specifick quantity of gold which ei
ther party can produce in support of his case.' 1 ’
When a Pacha thinks he can establish
Jhis independence by his wealth or his
troops, he rebels; —that is, he sends no re
mittances to the Porte ; and if the Sultan
cannot subdue him by force, a sort of con
test in cunnnig arises between them—the
Sultan trying to assassinate, the Pacha to
murder the assassin. It is not uncommon
for the Sultan to send an executioner with
orders, if he should not be able to effect tbe
destruction of the Pacha, to load him with
additional honours! By this means suspi
cion is not unfrequenlly lulled asleep; and
the Pacha is rendered an easier prey to
that undistioguisbable thirst for revenge,
which can never be satisfied except by the
blood of those who have presumed to con
temn the authority of the vicegerent of the
Prophet.”
Such is a brief abstract of what appears
to us to have been the principal causes of
the increase and decline, and of the present
enfeebled state of Turkish power. It is a
fabrick which may easily be subverted, but
which, fortunately for Europe, can never
again recover its former strength. It has
for the last fifty years existed only in conse
quence of the mutual jealousies & struggles
of Russia & Austria; but what will be the con
sequence of the present conjunction, cannot
be foretold at present. If they fellow out
the principles on which they have acted in
the case of Naples, they must support the
throne of the Sultan, and render the banner
of the cross an auxiliary of the crescent.
Such an association, however, it may be
reasonably predicted, will never take place,
and it would not be a very surprising thing,
if in the course often or fifteen years, Tur
key should be what Poland is. But so long
as the Turkish government is suffered to
exist, the Pachas will continue to pillage
and waste the provinces, and the Sultan
will, in his turn, strangle and then plunder
the Pachas. JV. F. Spec.
AN HONEST SHOEMAKER.
The London Observer, of the 16th September
contains a letter from an emigrant, who signs bis
name T. Hands, who has settled himself on the
Merrimack, county of Hillsborough, New Hamp
shire. After expressing his delight with the ap
pearance of the country, the thousands of apple
trees loaded with fruit, &c. be informs his friends
he has now a comfortable dwelling and two acres
of ground planted with potatoes, Indian corn,
melons, &c. and has two hogs, one ewe, a lamb,
and in the fall expected to procure a cow. He
gives his friend a description of the country, the
price of labour, the manner of building, the clas
ses of persons who compose a town, describes the
River Merrimac, the trade carried on, transporta
tion, &c.
“ The winters are very long and cold; the riv
ers are frozen from November till May, and the
snow upon an average is two feet deep. The air
is generally clear, and the cold steady; for a few
days I observed the thermometer twenty-four de
grees below zero. Upon such nights a person’s
hair, the blankets on the bed, &c. look as white
as if they had been powdered. During winter
the farmers slide their timber and firewood to the
rivers, attend their cattle, &c. The common
drink is cider, their dram rum ; the latter a great
evil to the Yankees. They generally barrel beef
in the fall, and pork in the winter, for the year’s
use; much fish is eaten in the summer; the
bread is sometimes rye and Indian corn. They
have but threii meals a day, but these are hearty
ones: for breakfast fried meat, vegetables, toast,
cakes, biscuit, tea, chocolate, butter, coffee,
cheese, &c. They say they don’t like pot
luck, (boiled victuals) and seldom have a
j meal without pye baked on plates: in short,!
it takes tweie as much to keep a Yankee
as it would to support a common Englishman ;
but the people of Boston live more like the Eng-
I hsh than any of the Americans. Boston is the
j great mart for all the northern states, and in a few
i years will be the largest manufacturing town in
! America, especially as a dam has been formed
I three miles long, and broad enough for buildings
; on each side, from the old town to the main land.
> This is a turnpike road, and here they work six
mills by the tide at all times. Now for the prin
cipal question; 1 assure you I have made every
possible inquiry, and can safely invite you to this
happy country: there can be no doubt of a stea
dy, active person doing well, especially a man
conversant in business as you are, and iu posses
j j on of a little property ; you have many distres
. ‘in? accounts in England, but is it strange that a
. person should be distressed who lands in a strange
■ country without a farthing ? and some expect mi
; racles, others use no perseverance, and sinkuo
| der their troubles. 1 could have sent you a dis
, tressing letter, when I had no money, no tools,
.no furniture, and a child extremely ill; but no, I
i would not: I went into the woods, felled a tree,
• made my lasts ; went to a smiths, made my tools,
I and, strange as yon mpy think it, turned out such
bboU as the people here never saw before. Bring
all the furniture you can, in a ship direct from
London, and if you are a steerage passenger, lay
in C 8 days provision or more. T. HANDS.
