JERUSALEM.
Tlwre are two accounts of ihe ancient
city of Jerusalem, which have come down
to us with the sanction ofhigh authority.—
The first is to he found in the 3d chapter
of Nehemiah, who built the walls of the
-city, after the return of the Jews from Ha-1
bylonisb M J’ “ Men,itn w P ar,ic
oUrly directed lot hi# account by the Count
ers of Belmore, who visited the memorable
epots in and about Jerusalem, with all the
2ml and feeling of a pious Christian, taking
the holy scriptures for her guide, while at
the same time she availed herself of all the
Pght that modern travellers have been able
to"collect for the illustration of this most
interesting portion of sacred topography.
The other account is from the pen of the
Jewish historian Josephus, who had the
misfortune to witness the sacking and utter
destruction of his native city by the victo
rious arms of Titus Vespasian. It is a tan
talizing circumstance, however, lor the
traveller who wishes to recognize in his
walks the site of particular buildings, or ihe
scenes of particular erents, ihat the greater
nart of the objects mentioned in the des
cription, both of the inspired and Jewish
historian, are entirely removed and razed ;
from their foundations, without leaving ai
single trace or name behind to point out |
where they stood. Not an ancient tower,
or gate, or wall, or hardly even a sione re
mains. The foundations are not only brok
en up, but every fragment of which they
were composed is swept away, and the
spectator looks upon the bare rock with
hardly a sprinkling of earth to point out her
gardens of pleasure, or groves ot idolatrous
devotion. And when we consider Ihe pal
nces and towers and walls about Jerusalem
and that the stonesof which some of them
wer* constructed were 30 feet long, 15 feet
broad, 7 1-2 thick, we are not more aston
ished at the strength and skill and per*e
verance by which they were constructed,
than shocked by the relentless and brutal
hostility by which they were shattered and
overthrown, and utterly removed from our
fight. A few gardens still remain on the
sloping bae of Mount Zioo, watered from
the pool ofSilcam; the gardens of Goth
setnane are still in a sort of ruined cultiva
tion ; the fences are broken down, and the
olive trees decaying, as if the hands that
dressed and fed them were withdrawn ; the
Mount df Olives still retains a languishing
verdure, and nourishes a few of those tree
from which it derives its name; but all 1
around about Jerusalem the general aspect
j? ‘ lighted and barren ; the grass is wither
ed ; lb® hare rock looks through the scan
ty sward,and the grain itself, like the starv
ing progeny of famine, seems in doubt whe
ther income to maturity or die in the ear.
The vine that wa brought from Egypt is
cut off from the inid-t of the land; the
vineyards are wasted ; the hedges an* tak
en away, and the graves of the aucient
dead are open and tenantless. How is the j
gold become dim, and every thing that was
pleasant to the eye withdrawn ! Jerusalem
bas beard the voice of David and Solomon,
of the prophets and aputles; and He who
spake as never man spake, has taught in i
her synagogues and in her streets. Before j
her legislators, and her;poet, and her
apostles, those of all other countries became
dumb, and cat down their crowns as un-!
worthy to stand in their presence. Once j
ehe was rich in every blessing—lictoriou* ;
Over all her enemies—and vesting in peace I
—with every man sitting under his own]
vine and fig’ re*-, with none to disturb or to i
make him afraid. Jerusalem was the bright
est of all the cities of (he east, and fortified
above all other towns, so strong, that the
Human conqueror thereof, and the master
of the whole world besides, exclaimed, on
entering the city of David, and looking up
at the towers which the Jews had abandon
ed, “ Surely we have had God for our assis
tance in the war ; fur what could human
bands or human machines do against these
towers !” It is no other than God who has
expelled the Jev.s from their fortifications.
Their temple was the richest in the whole
world; their religion was the purest: and
their God was the .Lord of Hosts. Never
was ihpre a people favoured like thin peo
ple; but they set at naught the counsel of
their God ; trusted in their walls, and
walked after the imaginations of their own
hearts ; their city was given up to the spoil
er ; the glory departed from Israel, and
the sceptre from Judah ; the day of ven
geance arrived, and the rebellious sons of j
Jacob are scattered and peeled and driven j
under every wind of heaven, without a na- j
lion or country to call their own ; unamal- :
ganiated, persecuted, plundered a reviled ; i
like the ruins of a blighted tower, whose I
fragments remain to show the power that
smote it, anil to call aloud to heaven and
eaith for repair. What a tremendous les
son for ihe kings and people of the earth
to learn wisdom, and in the midst of their
prosperity to recognize the hand from
which their comforts flow ! It is impossible
for the Chii-lian traveller to look upon Je
rusalem with the same feelings with which
he would se himself to contemplate the
ruins of Thebes, of Athens, or of Home, or
of any other city which the world ever
saw. There is in all the doings of the Jews,
their virtues and the'.” vicer, their wisdom
and their folly, a height and a depth, a
‘breadth and a length, that angels cannot
faihom; their whole history i9 a history of
miracles, the precepts of their sacred book
are the most,profound,and the best adapt
ed to every siiuaiiuu in which man can be
placed ; they moderate him in prosperity,
biutainb*® ,R adversity .guide him in health,
console him in sickness, support him t Ihet
close of life, travel on with him through,
death, live with him throughout the endless,
ages of eternity, and Jerusalem lend*Jt
name to Ihe eternal mansions ot the btesseu
in heaven, which man is admitted to enjoy
through the atonement ofChrist Je * us ’^ h ”
was born of a descendant b Judah. But
we must turn to consider the Jerusalem that
now is. In Egypt and Syria, it is
sally called tioutes or Kondes, whicti
l means holy, and is still a respectable look
. mg town ; it is of an irregular shape, ap
• preaching nearest to that ot a square t His
surrounded hv a high embattled wall,which,
■ generally speaking, is built of the common
! stone of the country, which is a compact
lime stone. It has six gates, one of which
looks to the west, and is called the gale of
Yaffs or Bethlehem, because the road to
these places passes through it; two look
to the North, one is called thejfcate of Sham
or Damascus, the other the gate ol Herod:
the fourth gate looks to the east, or the
valley of Jehoshaphat,and is called St. Ste
phen’s gate,because here the proto-martyr
was stoned to death ; it is clese by ihe tern
pie or mosque of Omar, and leads to the
garden of Gethsemene, and the mount of
Olives, Bethany, Jericho, and all the east
of Jerusalem; the filth gate leaJs into
the temple or harem schereef, which was
formerly culleflfe Church of the Presen
tation, Virgin Mary is supposed
!o have entereil by this gate to present her
son. our blessed Saviour, in the temple.—
On account of a turn in the wall, this gate,
! though in the east wall of the city, looks to
! the south towards Mount Zion ; near to this
1 there is another gate, which is small, not
| admitting of either horses or carriages, of
which last, however, there is noue in Je
rusalem ; and from the wail resuming its
former direction, looks to the east; it is
called the dung-gate ; the last is called Zion
gate, or the gate of the prophet David ; it
looks to the south, and is in that pari of the
wall which passes over Mount Zion, and
runs between the brook Kedron, or the
valley of Jehoshaphat on the east, and the
deep ravine called the valley of the son of
Hinnoin ; on the west, leaving about two
thirds of Mount Zion on the south, or out
side of the walls, it is nearly opposite to the
mosque which is built over the sepulchre !
of David. The longest wall is (hut which)
faces this, and is on the north side of the j
city; it runs between the valley of Gihon )
on the west, and the valley of Jehoshaphat j
on the east. I walked round the city on j
the outside of the wall in an hour and twen
ty minutes, and lady Relmore rode round it;
on an ass in an hour and a quarter : and the j
whole circumference as measured by |
Maundrell, a mo-*t accurate iraveller, is j
iwo miles and a half. The population of.
the holy city is estimated at twenty thou-1
sand souls ; five thousand of whom are i
Mussulmans, five thousand Christians, and |
ten thousand Jews.
MISSIONARY.
From the Sheffield Iris , Jan. 8.
MORAVIAN MISSION AMONG THE |
CALMUCKS.
The following paragraph is circulating!
through the newspapers:—
“ The Emperour Alexander, who was so j
zealous a patron of missions a few years 1
ago, has shut the mouths of the Moravian’
missions at Sarepta. lie has refused them ‘
the liberty to baptize or convert the hea-!
then Calnmcs, and has reduced them to be i
mere distributers of Bibles—even one word
in the way of commentary being forbidden.
The prohibition extends to all Protestant !
missions in Russia.”
Os the authority of this statement we
I know nothing. The very meaning of the *
interdict, without further explanation, is
j scarcely intelligible. We have had in on/
possession for several weeks, an exceeding
ly interesting narrative of the first success
of the Moravian Missionaries, in the conver
sion of the Calmuc Tartars to Christianity,
and introducing them to settled and
ed habits ol life. The whole document is
very curious, and forms, it may be said, an
entire new chapter in Ihe History of Man.
We nave hitherto hesitated to give it, a9
religious information however important, is
not generally acceptable through the medi
um of a newspaper; this, however, having
assumed a political aspect, the following
brief abstract will not be deemed out of place
here, since, if there be any truth in the
above quoted paragraph, it is probable this
very circumstance has alarmed the powers
of darkness, and caused the Decevier of the
nations, to use all his craft to blind Ihe eyes
and pervert the mind of the Emperour Al
exander on this occasion.
“ More than seventy years ago, a mission
j begun by the Moravian Brethren
1 among the Calmuc Tartars, which, after a
j short trial, was necessarily abandoned, but
; the object itself was never abandoned.
| Failing in the direct attempt to plant the
; Gospel among these fierce and restless bar
barians, in the year 1765 a colony was es
tablished on the banks of the Wolga, to
which various families and individuals from
! German congregations emigrated, and (he
place which they called Sarepta, is now one
of the most considerable of the Brethren’s
settlements. The station was expressly
occupied for the purpose of cultivating a
friendly intercourse with (he numerous
hordes that frequent the neighbourhood,
■ till the set time should come, when they
■ would hearken to the Gospel.
“ Though no opportunity of preaching
i Christ to these Gentiles was neglected, all
instruction seemed to be in vain, till within
a few years past, when the way was opened
I for the renewal of a regular mission among
; them. Since then several Brethren, wan
dering or sojourning with them as thpy
roved or rested, in the adjacent region,
, have been diligently endeavouring to teach
, j them the truth as it is ia Jesus, and by the
blessing of the Lord, now one, and then an
other, amongst theCglmucs, have h.M their
hearts opened and tlieir minds enlightened (
by Ihe Holy Spirit So gently, yet so sale-
Iv, hath the good Shepherd led these lost
sheep, alter having found them in the wil
derness, that their lives being endangered,
from the wolves among their countrymen,
on account of their Christian profession,
they were moved to take a step perhaps
unexampled among their tribes, who arc
rovers from their birth, to leave the horde
andseitle upon a little island in Ihe Wolga,
wear Sarepta, where, under the eye of their
teachers and the protection of the Empe
rour Alexander, they hoped to live quiet
and peaceable lives, in all godliness aud
honesty. This migration has been effect
ed, and the desolate Island is now inhabited
by a class of people hitherto unknown in
the history of man. Tartars become Chris
tians, and settled upon one spot lor the pur
pose of agriculture and commerce!
“It was on a stormy evening that these
firstlings of the Calmuc race arrived on the
land belonging to the colony ot Sarepta.
Their teacher, brother Schill, on horse
bark, led their march : he was accompanied
by several of the heads of families, and fol
lowed by the main body of the men on tool.
Behind these came their camels, three in
number, loaded after the manner of the
East, with tent skins on which the women
were seated. The next objects in the pro
cession were two Calmuc carts drawn by
horses, another drawn by a bullock, like
wise loaded with tent skins and furniture,
on which the young children were placed,
while (be elder walked by their side.
Some of the stoutest boys brought up the
rear, driving before them seventy heads ot
cattle, sheep and goats. Their march lay
along the banks of the river, and a boat
tontuining a small party accompanied it on
the stream. The evening grew calm, and
the sun wa9 set before they bad all reached
tbe end of their pilgrimage. It was a spec
tacle never witnessed on earth before, and
surely there was rejoicing in Heaven among
the angels of God over these sinners that
thus repented.
f Day after day, before they had taken
full possession of their island, the brethren
and sisters, young and old, fimai Sarepta,
visited the encampment of the fugitives,
nod bade *hem welcome in the name of the
Lord. They had pitched their tents about
three miles from the village, and there
they abode hearing the word of God preach
ed, praying, and praising him, both in the
great assembly and in their family circles.
Among their visiters was the venerable
Brother Steinman, 83 years of age, and one
of the first settlers at Sarepta. He, as well
as the few surviving fathers of the colony,
had never forgotten the original purpose of
the place—to be a frontier post on the
verge of the kingdom of darkness, from
which to send glad tidings of salvation into
the heart of Asia. For this consummation
he and they had been offering up daily
prayers for more than half a century.
When therefore he heard of the arrival ot
this company of Calmuc Confessors, the pa
triarch seized his staff which he had long
laid aside, and, notwithstanding the distance
and bis infirmities, by the help of friends
who supported his steps, he reached the
camp. There, after beholding with his
own eyes, what God had wrought for these
poor savages, and having heard them sing
in their native tongue various hymns that
spoke of the sufferings of Christ and the
glory that should follow, he broke out into
a transport of joy, and returned home
thanking and blessing God. Two days af
terwards, he closed his eye 9 and departed in
peace, having seen the salvation of the
Lord thus come to the outcasts of Tarlary.”
AMERICAN BAPTIST MISSION IN BUR
MAR.
From Dr. Price to the Cor. Secretary , dated
Ava, October 1, 1822.
my dear brother,
It has pleased the Great Ruler of the
skies, to briDg us into the immediate pres
ence of the king of Burmah. Just one year
from my reaching Bengal 1 was introduced
into the palace of the great emperour, and
informed that I must make his capital my
place of residence. This is an event for
which we have longed and prayed—as cal
culated to give stability to the mission, in a
land like this, where all are respected ac
cording to the notice bestowed on them by
the king. Whether our anxious anticipa
tions will be realized, is known only to Him
on whose business we came, and who, we
trust, bas sent us hither for good. Our re
ception was very gratifying. We were
obliged to submit to no ceremony. As soon
as the king was informed of our arrival, a
royal order was issued for our immediate in
troduction. As we entered, with tbe impa
tience of a despotick prince, he called to
know which was the doctor. We were ta
ken into an open court, and seated on a bam
boo floor, about ten feet from the chair of
the monarch. “They are from the west
ern continent,” was the first remark—after
which our great man delivered bis account
of us. We were then interrogated, as to
my skill in curing eyes, cutting out wens,
setting broken arms and legs—besides many
other things to which iny skill did not ex
tend. Our medicines were then called for,
ai.d all my stock inspected. The surgical
cases were much admired. After looking
at mine, the king sent for bis own; one case
nf which being unlike mine, be immediately
gave it into my hands to use. This I con
sidered as equivalent to fixing me here for
life. After my galvanick pile had amused
j Ihe king and tiis courtiers for an hour, we
were dismissed, with an order to look out a
: place we likeff, and he would build a house
for us. An order was also given to look up
all the diseased people, and have my decis
ion on them.
The king is a man of small stature, very
straight—steps with a natural air of superi
ority, but bas not tbe lexat appearance of it
in conversation. On the contrary, heisal-!
pleasant and good humoured, so far as
I have yet se p n °f *■" He wears a red ,
I finely striped silk cloth from his waist to his
knees, and a blue and white handkerchief (
on his head. He has apparently the good
of his people, as well as the glory ol his
kingdom, at heart; and is encouraging for
eign merchants, and especially artisans, to
settle in his capital. A watch-maker, at
this moment, could obtain any favour he
should please to ask. The same might he,
vouched for a chair maker or cabinet mak- j
er, &r. as the king has courage and wisdom
enough to prefer foreign manufactures when
he sees their superiority to his own. On
the subject of religion, he appears, like all
his people, devoted to his idols. But he
has never vet persecuted for religion’s
sake! O that he might yet be brought to
know and love the supreme GOD! Seven

MISCELLANY.
From the Columbian Star.
Difference of Principle and Practice.
The difference between Missionaries and
their opposers is very distinctly marked in
the hctual state of things in Hindosion.—
This country, it is well known, is under the
control of the British East India Company.
It is known, also, that the superstitious rites
and barbarous customs of the natives, are
transacted under the sanction of a license
from this Company, which thus gathers a
large revenue from the abominable idola
tries of the Hindoos. The shocking cruel
ties perpetrated in accordance with the
spirit of the native superstitions, it has been
the steady aim and earnest endeavour of
missionaries to prevent, by inculcating the
principles of the gospel. The East India
Company vehemently opposed missionary
efforts , until these were protected by ex
press provision in its charter, introduced by
the British Parliament on the petition of a
million of the inhabitants of Great Britain.
Missionaries have since toiled with much
success. The worship of Juggernaut, a
source of revenue to the Company, has
been broken up in the neighbourhood of
Calcutta, and many cruelties have been
rendered less frequent. This is the simple
result of measures now so freely stigmatiz
ed a useless and chimerical. But the evils
are not yet fully removed. Children a/e
vet committed by their mothers to the rav
enous alligator, and by a fearful reciproca
tion, children lead their parents to the bor
ders of the Ganges to die helpless and
abandooed.or light the pile which consumes
their living mothers. Every man. wheth-j
era friend or opposer of missions, must j
shudder at these scenes. Let him, then,
observe on the one hand, the missionaries
employing all the arguments of our holy
faith to persuade the infatuated natives to
“ forsake these vanities and turn to the liv
ing God ;” and on the other,mark the agents
of the British E. I. Company, possessing the
power to suppress at once these afflicting
enormities, yet calmly granting a iicense,
and receiving the stipulated fee I This is
not fancy’s sketch. It is a scene almost
daily presented in India. The natives
themselves are sensible of the inconsistency
of their rulers. Os this fact the following
extract from an account of Ihe burning of
a widow, mentioned in the Star of the Bth
inst. wilt furnish evidence.
•“ Near the pile, groups of people were
assembled and among them lour or five
Europeans were making themselves very
conspicuous by the abuse, couched not in the
mo9t mild language, which they were di
recting to the Brahmins and other natives,
against their religion, their superstitions and
their cruelties.
At length a well dressed native, hut not
ornamented with the triple cord, stepped
forward and addressed them as follows :
Gentlemen —Why are you so lavish in
your abuse against us and our customs ?
They are our law and our religion, and
which from our earliest infancy we are in
structed to believe ascorrect. But you are
our masters ; and if you really see so much
sin, wickedness, and cruelty in them, why
do you permit it ? You must know, and
here is an instance, that we cannot burn a
woman, old or young, without your au
thority, and when having obtained your
authority, we consider you as well as our
selves united in the consequences, be tbey
good or be they bad.
He further observed,if a son ask a father
or a servant his master, for that which it
would be injurious for either of them to
receive, if the request is granted and any
ill consequences follow, pray answer me,
and tell me which of the two is most in
fault ?
Tbe Europeans were silent, and finding
they made no reply, the native resumed
the conversation, and said, gentlemen, until
you have solved the question, and actually
decided against tbe son or servant, be pleas
ed uever to abuse us, poor, ignorant Hin
doos, as you call us, any more.
COLUMBIAN COLLEGE.
We have mentioned the success of Pro
fessor Woods, in his misgion to England, to
procure a Library, Philosophical Appara
tus, &c. for Ihe Columbian College. Among
(he letters which he received from distin
guished individuals, expressing their appro
bation and tendering their aid, we find in
the Luminary the following from John’
Wilks, Esq. We republish it, on account)
of its singular appropriateness and felicitous:
expression, as well as its liberal and inter-)
esting views. We presume it speaks the;
language, and perhaps intimates the fore-i
boding*, of a large class of the British na-i

REVEREND AND DEAR SIR,
I regret Ibai I was absent when yon re
newed your call; and to prevent any future
disappointment. I have the pleasure to e n .
close Twenty Guineas, as my contribution
towards your fund: and of my name yon
are welcome to avail yourself in any man
ner that may lend to promote your success.
But as promptitude and cheerfulness in.
crease Ihe value of the most splendid gifts,
I cannot neglect to enhance my little offer
ing, by assuring you of the willingness aud
1 cordiality with which it is bestowed.
The statesmen, the economists, the phi
losophers, the theologians of America, I
have been used to respect; and lately their
poets and their essayists have added to our
delight. As the best customer of our man
i ufactnrers, I have been glad at its prosper
ity. To the example it presents of a na
tion.—-benevolent, moral, and evangelically
religious; without any alliance between the
church and state, I have referred with exul
tation and with hope. Recollections of the
past, and our future prospects, convinced
me lhat it is the duty and interest of Eng.
lishmen to encourage international attach
ment and mutual regard. America may he
the refuge of their children, from the storms
which collect over Europe, and may beat
upon their heads. But the noble efforts she
lias made in the Home and Foreign Mission
ary cause, and for the distribution of the Sa
cred Scriptures through tbe world, have
bound her to us by bands more pleasing ami
important than even our common language
and couimiiniiy of descent; unily in such
labours creates identity of heart.
I therefore rejoice that the Truslees of
the Colombian College have thought so
rightly of the British character s to invite
British support. Your mission will he, lam
persuaded, a very pleasant and productive
toil. For who would not wish that the
youths hereafter educated on the shores of
the Potomack, and who may be the future
instructers or law givers of their wide
spreading land, should think, with gratitude
and love, of the land of their forefathers,
and know that attachment to Old England
was not incompatible with the patriot senti
ments of a Columbian heart! “
JOHN WILKS.
A PRAYING SOLDIER.
During the late unhappy commotions in
Ireland, a private soldier in the army of
Lord Cornwallis, was daily observed to be
absent from his quarters, and from the com
pany of his fellow soldiers. He began to
lie suspected of withdrawing himself for the
purpose of holding intercourse with the reb
els; and ob this suspicion, probably increas
ed by the malice of his wicked comrades,
jhe was tried by a court martial and con*
; demned to die. The marquis hearing of
j this, wished to examine the minutes of tbe
] trial, and not being satisfied, sent for the
man lo converse with him. Upou being in
terrogated, the prisoner solemnly disavow
| ed every treasonable practice or intention,
declared his sincere attachment to bis sov
ereign, and his readiness to live and die in
his service : he affirmed that tbe real cause
of his absence was, that he might obtains
place of retirement for the purpose of pri
vate prayer, for which his lordship knew
he had no opportunity among his profane
comrades, who had become his enemies,
merely on account of his profession of reli
gion. He said, he made this defence on his
trial; but the officers thought it so improb
able, that they paid no attention to it. The
marquis, in order to satisfy himself as to the
(ruth of his defence, observed, that if so, ha
must have acquired some considerable apt
ness in this exercise. The poor man re
[ plied, that as to ability, he had nothing lo
boast of. The Marquis then insisted on hiJ
kneeling down, and praying aloud before
him, which he did ; and poured forth hiss
soul before God with such copiousness, flu
ency and ardour, that tbe Marquis took him
by the hand, and said, he was satisfied that
no man could pray in that manner, who did
not live in the habit of intercourse with
God. He not only revoked the sentence,
but received him into bis peculiar favour,
placing him among his personal attendants,
and in the way to promotion. “ Remember
Joseph in the prison of Egypt.” On read
ing the above, every pious mind will be led
to reflect on the remarkable interposition
of Providence in behalf of this man of pray
er, for (his is the most prominent feature in
the Christian Character. He could not live
without prayer, though he thereby exposed
himself to the suspicion and hatred of his
comrades, and even endangered his j
but the God, whom, like Daniel, he served,
know how to deliver him in the perilous
hour, and not only heard his prayer, but
made the exercise of this duty itself tbe
means of bis deliverance. O, how docs
this reproach those, w ho live without pray
er, though they have every opportunity for
retirement, unseen and unsuspected!

Pointing again to the other side, “Do you

you see that little village yonder ?’ “Yes.’
‘ Well there lives a poor woman in that vil
