BA RBADOES. GREAT AND SIGNAL TRIUMPH OVER METHO DISM, AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE CHAPEL!!! Bridge-Town, Tuesday, 21at Oct. 1823. The Inhabitants of this Island are respectfully informed, that in consequence of the unmerited and unprovoked attacks - which have repeatedly been made upon the community by the Methodist Missionaries, (qtherwise known as agents to the viI- IiWOUS African Society), a party of respectable Gentlemen formed the resolution Of closing the.Alethoilist concern altoge ther : with this view they commenced their labours on Sunday evening, and they have the greatest satisfaction in announcing that by twelve o'clock list night they effected the TOTAL UsThUCTTQW Or TUE CITAPIIL. • To this Information they have to add, that the Missionary made his escape yesterday afternoon in a small vessel for St. Vincent ; .thereby avoiding that expression of the public feel ing towards him, personally, which he had so richly deserved. It is hoped that as this information will be circulated through .out the different Islands and Colonies, all persons who consider themselves true lovers of Religion will follow the laudable example of the BAIMADIANA, in putting an end to Methodism And Alethodikt Chapels throughout the West Indies. COPY of Sir NEWRY WAUDE'S PROCLAMATION-, a 8 it rip , pared in " The Barbadian" Newspaper of the 224 o. October, 1823 BARBADOES. Whereas it has been represented to me that a riotous assembly collected at the Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday night the 19th, and Monday night the 20th inst., and proceeded todetnolish the bidd ing, which they cotnpletely destroyed. And whereas if such an outrageous violation of all law and order be suffered to pass un punished, no man will be safe either in person or property ; since when the very ends of civil association are thus defeated —the people finding the laws too feeble to afrord them protee• tion, must court the favour of the mob and remain entirely al their mercy. In such a state of things the laws are only a scourge to the weak : And whereas, in a society constituted as this is, the very worst consequences are to be apprehended from such evil example,--. I do therefore, by anti with the advice of his ;‘lajesty's Coun. cil, hereby offer a Reward of ONE HUNDRED POUNDS, to any person or persons who will give such information as will lead to the conviction of any person orliersons concerned in the aforesaid riotous proceedings. Given under my Hand and Seal at Arms at Government house, this 2.2 d day of October, 1823, and in the fourth year of His Majesty's Reign. &lOU lAYK THE KING ! By His Excellency's Command, WM. HUSBANDS, Dep. Sec. BRIDOE.TOWN, BAUBADOES, Thursday, Oct. 23. Whereas a Proclamation having appeared in The Barba- Alan Newspaper of yesterday, issued by order of his Excel. lency the Governor, offering a reward of one hundred pounds for the conviction of any person or persons concerned in the said-to-be riotous proceedings of the 19th and 20th instant ; public notice is hereby given to such person or persons who May feel inclined, either from pecuniary temptation or vindictive feeling, that should they attempt to come forward to injure, in' any shape, any individual, they shall ItECEIVE THAT PHHISHMENT which their crimes will justly deserve. They &rem understand that to impeach is not to convict, and that the reward off'cred wilt only be' given upon conviction, which cannot be effected whilst the people are firm to themselves. And whereas it may appear to those persons,who are unac quainted with the circumstances which occasioned the said Pro . clamation, that the demolition of the chapel was effected by the rabble of this community, in order to create anarchy, riot, and Insubordination, to trample upon the laws of the country, and to subvert good order : It IS considered an imperative duty to repel the charge, and to state—Firstly, that the majority of the persons assembled were of the first reepeetability, and were supported by the concurrence of9-10theolthe community Secondly, that their motives werepatriotic and loyal, namely, to eradicate from this soil the germ of Methodism wit ich wits spreading its baneful influence over a certain class, and which ultimately would have in jured both Church and State.—With this view the Chapel was demolished, and the villanous Preacher who headed it, and belied us, was compelled by a speedy flight to remove himself ;fretn the Island. With a fixed determination therefore to put an end to Me thodism in this 'lsland, all Methodist Preachers are warned not to approach Oleic shores ; as, if they do, it will be at their own peril. CO) SAVE Tut: iwia, AND THE P.EOPE.E. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. LANSTANTINOPLE, DEC. l 5.---After several 'sittings of the Divan, it is said that it has been resolved to -reject the demand of the Christian Powers, respecting the era. cuatiou of Moldavia and Wallachia; and to retain there a suf. Jicient number of troops to secure the supreme authority of the Ottoman empire. • At least it appears certain that tholtels- Ltfendi • has presented' an evasive note on the subject to the Austrian linternuncio. Dschanil .E.treoi - maintained in the Liven that the principalidei were to be considered as countries conquered from the rebels, though it is notorious that the subjects in these countries did not rebel, hut that the Hada ciuna from Russia, and attempted to establish thmselvts there by force of arms. This new mode of reasoning adopted by the Counsellors of the Porte, evinces their secret, but con stant desire to get rid of the obligations imposed by the treaties OtKamardge, in 1771, and of Bucharest in 1812. Aecerding to the strict tenor of those two treaties, Russia- has a right of intervention and guarantee in the internal concerns of those two province's.. Btit in general, divided dominion falls at the end into the hand of the strongest. The return' of the Captain. Poch*, without being able to announce any satisfactory news, stillless the submission of the Mores, which he had promised, removes all doubts respecting the final, issue of this third tam. paign. THE EX-KENG OF SARDINIA. Turin, Dec. ifi lf-rst N, ine P . No particular change in the health of its Majesty Victor Emmanuel has taken place to-day. His Majesty slept twice, and, on waking, felt die usual pain in his head, and likewise a pain in . the breast; but these pains were transitory, and the fever was i n considerable, as well as the cough, and none of the aymptorns very serious.

The pulse was nearly the same. THE ARMY. THE ROYAL FORCES IN INDIA. , . [From the Madras Courier, of June 3, 1823.] • n .

WINDSOR, DEC. 27.—0 n the morning of Christmas-clay, the poor of the surrounding parishes were most bountifully sup. plied with beef and bretul, according to annual custom, at the seat of Lord Newry, at Berry-hill, 'raplow, Bucks. It is on these scenes the philanthropist delights to dwell ; and the man. ncr in which it was distributed, under his Lordship's superin. tenciance, who appeared solicitous to gladden the beans of the indigent and their of spring at this festive season of the year, was truly unostentatious. The obtrusive eulogist in recording . the gratifying scene, though apprehensive its publicity might not receive his Lordship's cordial approbation, considers it an humble tribute to the private worth of the noble donor. Sou Tit 104 PTO:.i, DEC. 27.—This afternoon the Secretary of the Admiralty, (J. W. Croker, Esq. M.P.) landed here, from making an official visit to Lord Viscount Melville, at his cottage, Hyde ; and immediately after he proceeded to return to the Admiralty. IVe understand the lion. Secretary only left town last night; his communication to his Lordship must therefore have lexert both urgent and of considerable im. portanee. • NE wPonT (Isle of Wight), DEC. I. l ,7.—Lady Barrington, of Swainston, and our worthy representative, Sir Leonard 'l'. W. Holmes, Bart., with that humanity for which they are so highly characterized, have very generously bestowed a large quantity of weariug apparel and meat, to the poor of the parish of Colbourne. A New Half-crown is at present coining in the mint. The device is much superior to those in present circula tion. But few of the double sovereigns have been coined, as it has been discovered, that 'the wreath round the head of his Itiaamvr vis omitted. It is in contemplation to pla ce t h e same device as the half-crowns have, instead of St. George and the Dragon, on the future coinage of the double sovereign.

THE MURDER OF MR. WEARE. HER.TFORD, DEC. 28.--The prisoners charged with the murder of Mr. IVKanE have ceased to be the objects of universal attention which they were some weeks ago.. . _. It is fortunate for the interests of public Justice that that s tate of extreme excitement which was recently witness ed, is no more. note are, however, even now, many who visit Hertford for the purpose of learning all tha t Magistrates have not b een can be heard of th e accused. The precautionary measures adopted som e wee k s ago by the at all relaxed. If the safety of the nation depended on their being kept secure from public observation, more care could not lie taken to baffle that curiosity which would seek to gratify itself by looking on them than is taken at present. The prisoners attend the chapel on a Sunday, and have uni formly conducted themselves in a manner becoming their unhappy situation. Hunt is a good deal depressed ; Pro bert is not so much as he was, and Thurtell is in good spirits, but does not indulge in any unbecoming levities , lie seems at his ease, and speaks with confidence and serenity of the result of the trial. In one of the weekly papers, an essay was published about a fortnight ago in the shape of a defence of Thurtell. This was lately taken to him in the prison, and spoken of as a clever performance. Thurt:ll' looked at , it, but hid not join i n t h e praises of which it had been made the sub ject; he. triumphantly remarked, " if he could not make a better defence than that, he would offer none." He lately expressed an opinion respecting the extraordinary absence of a Reverend Gentleman whose , case has lately attract-. ed no small share of public attention. To him it seemed pro.. baffle, he mid, that he had been put out of the way - by those with whom he had unfortunately connected himself, front an apprehension that some of their secrets, of whi c h h e was in possession, would not b e safe in his keeping. To prevent that disclosure of their iniquitous practices which the Gentleman in question might have deemed it right to make, there is but t oo much reason to f ear t h at he has been sacrificed .' swailtlrobnegagminfjciise The witn3ses will be all assembled in Hertford on Monday next, and lodgings have been taken for them in different parts o a f w th ri e t town.
