In remarking upon sofne of tffe popular
objection? to missionary operations in (he
heathen world, we have more than once
Igken occasion ,to notice one particular
charge brought against the Christian pub
lick, tiie plausibility 6f which has doubtless
had its effect in confirming many in their
hostility to the cause of missions, and ren
dering others averse to any active exertions
for the promotion of those great scheme?
of benevolence, which embrace in their
comprehensive sphere, not only a district
and a nation, but the whole earth. The
change to which we allude is substantially
this — that the supporters of missions abroad,
neglect to provide religious instruction for the
destitute at ilomk, while their charities are
liberally bestowed in attempting to Christian
ize distant pagans. Those who are well
acquainted with missionary efforts iu this
couiitry, and even those who are partially
informed on the subject, know, that this ac
’ ensation is groundless and unjust ; and whe
ther made through ignorance or prejudice,
has been almost uniformly advanced
by men who ought to observ“ a total
silence in regard to this business, or re
sign all claims even to ordinary consistency.
We have said that the friends of foreign
missions are the most forward, active and
liberal in the establishment of missions in
our own country ; and in support of this as
sertion we have appealed to facts. We
have pointed the man disposed to ques
tion our correctness on this point, to the or- ;
igin and progress of those institutions in the
United States which are designed exclusive-;
ly for the religious instruction of the poor*
and the destitute among ourselves—to Bi-:
tie, Traci, Education and Domestick Mis
sionary Societies—and to Sabbath School?.
We have urged him to an inquiry which’
will at once settle ibis question—and asked
bim to tell us, what portion of those who.
liberally contribute to the insti.utions above j
mentioned, are the enemies of missions
among the heathen ? There ought to be no ;
deception in regard to this matter, and we
wish that some line of distinction could be
i drawn< which would shew the true state of j
of the case, and leave, as we are confident
I it would, those persons who have been so
I lavish of their censure against the friends of
I foreign missions, to blush for the ignorance,
I credulity, or something worse, that has in-
I duced them to oppose and ridicule a cause
I which the promise of the Almighty assures
I as shall finally prevail and triumph.
We have been induced thus briefly to
I notice this subject at the present time, by
I the Report of the Managers of the “ Au-
I gtista Domestick Missionary Society,”
I which has been obligingly sent us for pub-
I location, and which is contained in the pre-
I ceding columns. The sentiments advanced
1 in this report are in strict accordance with
I those of the great body of Christians who
■ are actively engaged in promoting the in-
I lerests of the Redeemer's kingdom, not on-
I ly at home, hut in regions where pagan su-
Kperstition has for ages maintained its de
■ basing influence, and among millions of im-
Ijinovial beings, whose minds were never il
luminated by a single ray from that iaesli-
Irnahle treasure which has “ brought life
land immortality to light.” Will it be said
■that the members of this Society are neg
lectful of the destitute and ignorant around
Ihem, while they contribute of their sub
liance, and offer up their prayers for the
Ixtension of . the Gospel in the heathen
Krorld? Surely not. It is true, that from
Ihe recent organization of the institution,
Knd the difficulties mentioned in the Report,
I great things” have not been accomplish-
Kj —nor were they to he reasonably expect
|W. But much good, we humbly trust, has
Isn dune—a beginning has been made—
with the blessing of Him, whose cause
I thus espoused, the patrons of this Society
Kay have occasion another year to rejoice
K a more abundant success, and their “ la-
Kiur of love” finally yield them a reward,
comparison with which all the treasures
S'the world are nothingness!

CONGRESS.
Mr. Dwight presented a Memorial to the house,
signed by 152 respectable citizens of the District
of Columbia,praying of Congress “ to appropriate
two or three millions in provisions, and whatever
may be necessary to the Greeks, as an easy and
honourable mode of acknowledging the aid, boun
ty and obligation received from France in like
circumstances. 1 ’ Mr. Dwight, after a few pre
liminary remarks, stating, that whatever might be
the sense of the house on the subject of granting
aid to this interesting and distressed people, the
sentiments expressed by the memorialists were
honourable to themselves, and accordant to the
spirit of the nation—moved that the memorial be
j referred ‘o the Committee on Foreign Relations,
Objections lo such a course being iradc, the mo
tion was withdrawn, and the memorial ordered to
lie on tbe table.
T. e Speaker p'eeented a letter addressed to
him by Edward Lewis, of Alabama, preferring I
charges against the lion. Charles Tait, Judge of
theU. States’ Court for that District, which, with
the accompanying documents, were referred to

No business of very general importance has yet
been introduced in either house.
The Annual Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury Was transmitted to both houses on the
24tli instant. The following abstract of this doc
j ument, is copied from the Georgia Advertiser.
1. Os the Publick Revenue and Expenditure, of
the Years 1821 and 1822.
■ The nett revenue which accrued from duties
on imports and tonnage during the year 1821,
j amounted to $15,1193,434 42—the actual receipts
during the same year, including the loan of
j $5,000,000, amounted to $19,573,703 72—Dia
ling, with the smu of $1,198,461 21, (which was
| a nee in the Treasury, on the Ist of January,
■ 1821) an aggregate of 20,772,164 93. The ex
penditures in 1821, amounted to $19,090,572 69
—tbe balance, therefore, on the first of January,
1822, was $1,681,592 24.
The actual receipts into the Treasury, during
;■ tfie three first quarters of the year 1822, are esti
’ mated at $14,745,408 75, and the actual receipts
during the fourth quarter, same year,at $5,000,000
;—making the total estimated receipts during the
! year 1822, $19,745,408 75, which, with the ba
! lance, on the Ist Jan. 1822, formed an aggregate
of $21,427,000 99. The expenditures for the
i first three quarters of 1822, are estimated at
$12,278,653 32; and for the fourth quarter of
i the same year, (including the redemption of tbe
$2,000,000 of six per cent, stock of 1820) at
‘l $6,000,000 —making the total estimated expendi
■ tore of the year 1822, at 7)18,278,653 32—which
leaves in the Treasury, on the Ist Jan. 1823, the
estimatad balance of 03,148,347 67—from this
. is to he deducted the sum of 7)1,232,212 11,
which will be found necessary to effect the ob
jects of its appropriation, and a balance of
01,916,135 56 remains, which, with the receipts
in the year 1823, constitutes the means for defray
ing the current service of that year.
2. Os the Publick Debt.
The funded debt contracted before the year
1812, arid unredeemed on the Ist Oct. 1821,
, l amounted to $17,833,146 84 ; and that contract
ed subsequently to Jan. 1, 1812, and unredeem
ed on tbe Ist. Oct 1821, amounted lo $75,852,458
. 18—making the total amount of funded debt un
redeemed on the Ist Oct. 1821, at $93,686,205
02, which, added to the sum of $390 40 (being
the amount of Treasury note six per cent, stock
issued in the fourth quarter of that year) makes
the aggregate of 7)93.686 595 42. In the same
quarter there was paid in reimbursements of six
per cent, deferred stock and Louisiana stock,
7)262,733 75; reducing the funded debt on the
Ist Jan. 1822, to 7)93,423,856 67. From that
day to the Ist of October last, there was issued of
three percent, stock, D143 02, making an ag
gregate of 7293,423,999 69. During the same
period there wa paid in reimbursements of six
percent, deferred stock and six per cent, stock
of 1796, the sum of 7)385,380 92; reducing the
debt on the Ist of October, 1822, to 7)93,043,019
67. In the fourth quarter of the present year, it
is estimated there will be paid in reimbursement
of six per cent, deferred stock, and redemption
of six per cent, stock of 1820, the sum of
7)2,265,588 07, which will reduce the funded
, debt on the Ist of January, 1823, to 7)90,777,431
1 60. The receipts and entire means for the year
! 1823, are estimated at 7)23,016,135 56 ; and the
j expenditure for the same time at 7)15,059,597
22, which being deducted from the first named
sum, will leave in the Treasury on the Ist
da) of January, 1824, a balance estimated at
7)7.956,538 34.
The amount of exports during the year ending
the 30th Sept. last, are estimated at 7)60,000,000,
and it lUpie opinion of the Secretary, that under
the most unfavourable circumstances the receipts
for 1824 will he amply sufficient for the expendi
tures of that year—he however believes that there
will be a deficit of 7)1,250,000 in the year 1825.

of either.

RUSSIA AND lIRKFV. j
An article, dated Frankl rt, Oct. 21, states,
that affer an extraordinary ] ivan at Canstanlino
ple, to which fifty-six persi is were summoned,
the Reis Effendi addressed s very important note
to the Ministers of Austria, France and Prussia,
ir. which the reasons are exaained that induced
the Sultan to rejefct every jroposn! leading to a
renewal by the Porte of the gneient relations with-•
Russia.
Intelligence had been rcctived from Warsaw to
the 25th of October, that tl£ greater part of the ,
Russian Western Army, which was to have fallen
back into the interiour of the Empire, hnd receiv-’
ed orders to retain its present position. It is also
observed, that the new w inters epiatfer of the
Southern Army are very much concentrated, and i
the troops are distributen in such a Manner, that |
they may be united at a very short’ notice, if the i
Turkish army on the right bank of the Danube
should make any movement indicative of hostile !
intentions.
The latest accounts from Constantinople are of
the 27th of September. At that period no recent
news had been received from the fleet or from Mo
rea. The Persians had advanced on one side to’j
Erzerum, and on the other to Salimanieh. Bag- j
dad defended itself with great vigour, but its ca- j
pifulation was considered certain. The Turks
have experienced great loss; and they write from
Arabia that the Wechabl'e- had carried off the car- :
avail going from Mecca to Medina, killing from
nine to ten thousand Turks.

Appropriation of the Publick Lands for Educa-%.,
| lion. —We marvel that nothing is said at present, !
either in or out of Congress, in. relation to the ap- 1
proprialion of certain portions of the publick
lands, lor the promotion of education, equally
among all the states of the confederacy, as well
as among the new states, where the lands are
situated. To us, it appears a matter of the most
perfect right and justice, that such an appoint- I
ment should be made; and we could wish to see
the Legislatures of the several States insisting
upon it, until the right should be The
argument put forth in the document sanctioned
and published by the Legislature of Maryland, ,
we have ever esteemed conclusive and unan- j
, swerable. It is true that the Legislature of this
State, without much reflection, dissented from
the Maryland proposition, and adopted an elabo
rate counter-report. But we did not consider the
argument of the latter document welitounded,
nor have we ever believed that it spoke the lan
guage of the peeple of this state upon the subject.
To us the question is of the plainest solution, ■
and the argument within the compass of a nut
shell. The publick lands have been purchased ‘■
by the blood, and the money of the whole United
States. They are consequently the property of’
the whole, and every state is alike entitled to its
due proportion. Large tracts, however, are
granted from year to year, to the new states, for
various purposes, aud large reservations for the 1
purposes of education, have been made. But not
an acre comes to the old states, the original, and
greatest proprietors. They only come in with the
new states for their annual dividends of the mon
ey which flows into the general treasury from ac
tual sales. Will nobody look to this matter?
Will not our legislature think of it next month?

The JVest India Expedition. —Seven of the!
small schooners purchased by government for the
expedition against the Pirates, under the orders of
Commodore Porter, arrived at Norfolk on the 251 h
ult. from Baltimore, and proceeded up to the navy ‘
yard. Oil the same day the Commodore arrived ‘
in New-York, and was no doubt profitably em
ploying his time. Lieutenants Lawrence Kear
ney, (of the Enterprize) Wm. H. Watson, Chas.
W. Skibner, and Samuel Henley, are among the
officers appointed to commands. The expedition
will rendezvous at Thompson’s lelaud, (Key ;
West,) between the coasts of Florida and Cuba, j
which affords a good harbour, and a neighbour- 1
hood to the buccaneers.

Among the letters received at the office of the
National Intelligencer yesterday, was one from a
person who says that he is “ what the vulgar
term a full-blooded Cherokee;” and, from his
name and residence we have no reason to doubt
. him. His letter is well and correctly written,
enclosing money to constitute him a subscriber to
tliis paper. He concludes his letter as follows:
“ The improvement of the Cherokees in civiliza
“tion is such as to warrant the anticipation that
“ you may have more subscribers from this quar
ter.” Mat.lntel.
In tine case lately tried at Boston for a libel,:
the Judge decided iu the opening of the cause, •
. that “ under our coustitution, the defendant has .
a right, in all cases of a libel, without the consent
of the prosecutor, to prove, in justification of the
publication, the truth of the allegations.” This
is a decision of great importance to the real, and
not the nominal freedom of the Press ; and we do
not see how, under our government, the law
could ever have been differently construed.

‘Nicety of the Law. —A lady who was recently
arraigned at Albany on a charge of bigamy, es
caped conviction, by proving that instead of two
husbands alive, she had three, and that conse
quently the second marriage by which the pub
’ lick prosecutor attempted to shew the illegality of :
the third, was itself unlawful, and, therefore, no j
evidence in point of law. The lady’s name is j
j Fanny. In February, 1815, she was married to |
Munson W. Cook. In January, 1816, to George
Edge, and in August, 1822, to John Butterfield.
She squints, and is otherwise quite ordinary in
her appearance, though certainly somewhat ex
: traordinary in her conquests.
Tbe Legislature of Kentucky has ordered S7OO, 1

sence of tbe President of the Bank, and other offi
cers. The Legislature has also repealed the
Charter of the Bauk of Kentucky. The bill puts
an end to all its banking privileges; allows it see- •
en years to windup by uniform & regular callsnot
exceeding two per cent, per month ; provision is
