The arepalation and improvements to the west of his residence are rapally advancing; said the settlements to the east are already numerous and flourishieg. - Ile aconnpartied Dr. Stewart, 12 rnilm, to Kettle Creek rivar.d village,- where it is proposed to Luild a church 4 to which .Caloeel TA hot has promised a hand some contribution. Passing throtegh the township of Malahide, and over the river Otter Creek, 15 miles,• Dr. Stewart aline to Vittoria, in the township of Charlotteville, 36 trines from Otter Creek. He performed divine service, ,and preached in the Court-house • and he exhorted the people to unite in-building a - . church without farther delay.. Colonel. Nichol, of Wood-house, . has since informed Dr. Stewart, that they have commenced the undertaking. Long Point settlement, in which the township of Chariotteville is situated, is a beautiful and well-improved part of the country; aad, in that, and many other settlements, of the same or more recent date, if the people .were less divided into sects, they would he competent to the building of a church, and would have availed themselves before this time of the ad vantages offered by the Society. It is very desirable that mi nisters should. be settled in those places as soon as possible ; before the people become more indifferent to the evil of being - without public worship and the preaching of the Gospel, or more divided in their religious tenets, and drawn away by lead ers of different persuasions. The shores of lakes Ontario. and 'Erie, and a tract about 20 miles to the north of those lakes, nearly parallel to them, already .prosent to the labours of the missionary many new and. .flounahiag settlements ; awl, were the inhabitants of these districts well instructed, - the Church of England would soon be happily and • permanently established in the province. Dr. Stewart., in his visits, endeavoured to set forth the great importance and advantage of having a settled day—the Lord's day—set apart for public worsbipi and also.aasttleil form, or ' - Liturgy • and he endeavoured particularly, to enforce the benefit arising from the establishment of a regularly-ordained minister, and of a fixed place of worship, which every society is bound, if possible, to provide and maintain. He has not thought it ne cessary to detail the times or places, in which he assembled • The Grand River, which falls into the St. Lawrence at the Lake of the Two ;Mountains, above the Island of Montreal,- is usually c 111: 41 the Ottawa.. cengregatlons . ; but be begs leave to state that be usually per formed divine serviee.twice on the Lord's day, and frequently in the course of the week, besides ad;sainistering the sacra- meat of baptism in many retired places. Front Vittoria, in - Lonz Point settlement, Dr,Stewart pro- eroded, on the 22d of April, thirtyiniles, to Holty's Inn, on the ' Grand River. On the following day, Sunday, he went to the village of the Mohawk Indians, where he met the Rev. Ralph Leeming, missionary at Anca.ster. Divine service and the sa craments of our bard were performed in the Church ; and the attslit.i4u and devotion of the Indians were remarkable, and their psalmody was pleasing. 'Many families, descendants from English settlers, who have purchased, or now rent land of the also attended. Mr. Leeming visits them several times every year, and renders them as much service as the distance of his residence at Anraster, and the duties of his mission in that populous district, will permit. The number of Indians on the Grand liver amounts to about two thousand. ' It is very desirable that their religious instruction should be better attend ed to by this country. This attention is due to them on several accounts; and it is satisfactory to state, that facility of instruct ing.them is afforded by various circumstances, favourable to their interests, which have lately occurred. They have sold I lands to the provincial government, which, 'under the arrange ments contemplated, will produce a fund. for education, anti furnish salaries fin schoolmasters, and fox a missionarj to he resident among them. Ills Excellency Niki . or-General Sir Pere gene Maitland, Lieutenant-Governor of 'Upper- Canada, is anxious to co-operate, to the extent of his power, with every measure which may conduce to the civilization of the Indians ; and, in atidition to these circumstances, Mr. Brandt, dui only surviving sou of the late Cal. Brandt, and his cousin, Mr. Ro bert Kerr, Mohawk Cl - ..iefs, who are capable and desirous .of watching over their interests, and of promoting their welfare, have, within these few women, established their residence among them ell the Grand River. Ater visiting the village of the Tuscarora Indians, and also Lieut. Oat. Norton, a Mohawk Chief, of Scotch extraction , and ag of mne ochiatelligee, Dr. Stewazt prauneded . from the Grand River to A ncaster, and thence to York. Having rested a few days at York, he pursued his joinuey to Coburg village, in the township of Hamilton, - where the Rev. W. Mac aulay's nitharch is nearly completed, 73 miles from York.— Thirty-four miles farther to the east, ou the isthmus, which se parates the head of the bay of Quinte from lake Ontario, called the Carrying the haildingof anether church has corn naeneeth To the tsrogeention of that laudable work, Messrs. Wilkins and Young, of that place, have liberally contributed. Crowing over the river Trent, five miles from the Carrying Max, and enflaming to travel twelve aides along the beautiful and well-settled shore of the Bay of Quinte, Dr. Stewart ar rived at Belleville, a pretty village situated on the river Moira. The erection of a handsome brick church had there commenced under fa.voarable eireusrustannes; but, owing to the tleathof the contractor, selea genesonely assisted, and other difficulties which occurred, its progress has been - notch retarded. It is very de sirable that it should proceed, and that a Minister should be ap pointed, as the inhabitants of Belleville and its neighbourhood are comparatively ananerons and wealthy- After travelling about 18 miles. front Belleville, Dr. Stewart arrived at the set tlement of the Mekawk Indians, MI the Buy of Quintte At that settlement their orarnbens have dimiaished, and at present do not exceed 230 souls. He then proceeded to Bath, in Er mesa/au-on 20 miles lower down the Bay, at the entrance of it; and thence to liingotori, I 8 miles farther. 0n the 111th of tlav, Dr. Stewart left ,Kingston to go to Perth, a settlement Which has been formed by Government since the last war. It lies on the river Rickets, (called there the 'Tay), about 741 miles north-fast of King-nein. A great part of the road s nea• r Kingston and near Perth, (above half of the whole distance) where few settlers are established, is very im p.ernertly =she- Many of the inhabitants of Perth were for ms:sty solrEnas • but a large addition has been made to them by families who hare errived from Scotland and elsewhere. They are generally . iiiffust6ons ; and, as Government has been very liberainn nArrilitvg enter( assistance, the village and settlement of Perth are in a flourishing condition. The Rev. Mr. Ran* and other Geraidenzereof that place, are exerting themselves to promote the buildhig of a eloorch ; but, as the inhabitants have not had time to make witch . progress in the cultivation of the land, their weans are insuf - Eneet for the Undertaking without aid from other quarters. Dr. Stewart did not visit the new and smaller eeedement of Richmond, situated 4f miles lower down the river Rieleart, and 28 miles above its junction with the Ot tawa, into which it dows e CO miles above the Ilawkesbury set tlement-. He returnees 15 miles in a southerly direction, and then psusaerl his jog-racy, 10 metes neither, to Stone's Inn, Edizabethioon ; where he met, by appointment, Mr. Wiltse and some of his neisiliheurs, from the adjacent township of Y onge. Dr. Stesvatt hen previously visited Mr. Waste, en his road to Lire orper dettriete, ienclentanding that he and his family were zealous adherents to the Established Church; and, on his re.' turn he had the satisfaction of finding that they had come to a resolution, and had made 'arrangements, to build a church the ensuing yews. In carrynng that object into execution, they will he esuiesed by sonar of the inhabitants in the township of Bas tard ; and, as that part of the ooarrtry is populous, it will be a good situation for a Miesiortary. From Stone's Inn Dr. Stew art street eleven miles, .to Brockville, a very prate village, on the riser St. Lawrence, and thence twelve miles, to Presoot. —After congratulating the people at Present on the pro grees they lout rustle in building the church, he pro ceeded to Montreal ; where he arrived after an absence of four months ; during which time,, in a long and arduous jour ney, he experienced nearly blessings, which call for gratitude to the Supreme Disposer of all things, and afford him encou ragement to prosecute his mission in the service of the Society. From Montreal Dr. Stewart went to Quebec to wait upon the Lord Bishop, preciously to his Lordship setting out on the visitation his diocese, and also upon his Excellency Major- General Sir Peregrine Menhir - el, who at that time administered the government of Lower Canada ; and he made to them a re port of his m is s ion. After remaining at Quebec a week, he ascendal the St. Lawrence to William Henry, and thence went Deunonotulville, on the river St. Francis. About twenty six isilleo higher up that river, in the township of Shipton, he found roans , of the inhabitants disposed to undertake the build ing of a eliarrh. Quitting the St. Francis, at the village of Shenerooke, after a ride of five miles, he reached Belve dere, the house of Mr. Felton, an English gentleman, in the township of Ascot, who had lately removed his family to Comada ; and who is cultivating a large tract of land., and meting great improvements in that part of the country. Ott the 23e1 of June, Dr. Stewart arrived in Hatley, where he was happy to rejoin the people, whom he had united in com munion w nth the Church of England, and to find them pros pering under the ministry of his worthy sot:censor, the Rev. Thomas Johnson. During his residence there, Dr. Stewart paid another visit to Aseot, and the adjacent township of Eaton; in order to direct. anti =courage the people in building their churches. In the forma township a handsome one will soon be erected, in a central situation ; .and, in tire latter township, the inhabitants are building two churches, one in the north, and the other, four miles distant, in the south division of the township. When • those - places shall he supplied with mis siona-ries, in addition to those at Hatley. and Stanstead, the prospect of establishing the Church of England, generally and permanently, throughout the townships east of lake Alem phrarnagog, will become highly . encouraging. - Dr. Stewart left Haley on tne rots, of July, repeated his visit to Stansteack and thence again proceeded to Shefford. the east half of that township, the people, with the assistance of Messrs. Frost, are building a church ; and, in the west part o it, Captain Savage and his neighbours, aided by their friends in Farnham, are erecting another church. Captain Savage is a zealous loyalist, and a steady churchman • and on this occa sion has contributed eight lorrelred acres of unimproved land, besides four acres of valuable land, on which the church is situated.. His donation may he estimated at 1,000 dollars, which is nearly a: moiety . of the whole expense of the church. ft is built of wood, and is of the smallest size, its dimensions being 40 feet by 30. It has a gallery at one end, and a hand some cupola. Dr. Stewart thinks it proper to inform the Society, that the subscription, which was raised in Great Britain in the year 1810 and 1817, in aid of the building of churchessin Canada, has been materially conducive to that important object. In many places it has encouraged the inhabitants to commence, and enabled them to prosecute that, which they could not other. wise have accomplished ; their O:711 means of supplying money, labour, and materials, being inadequate without foreign contributions. It has promoted the interest of the Church of England, by recommending it to our countrymen and fellow subjects in Canada, and has marked our affection towards them ; thereby strengthening our reciprocal ties of attachment. Dr. Stewart, having so long occupied the attention of the Society, will on this subject only add, that, when he quitted Canada, the subscription fund had afforded considerable assistance in the erection of 24 churches, which, at the time of his departure, were eitherjruilt, or in progress, or engaged to be built. The gross amount of the subscription, including interest from its com mencement, is about 2,3001. sterling. Dr. Stewart left Canada on the let of August, embarked at New York on the 10th, and arrived at Liverpool on the 30th of the same month. Some remarks, which present themselves to his mind, being the result of observation during his mission, Dr. Stewart begs leave humbly to submit to the attention of the Society. Time propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, especially among our farm-subjects, and countrymen , either descended from our ancestors, or emigrants from this wintry, is the object nearest to the wisher and design of the Society. It is to be regretted that the influence of the Gospel in Canada has by many ob stacles been hitherto impeded ' • the prospect of success, how ever, is becoming brighter, and affords ample encouragement to the Society to continue their exertions. These obstacles arise principally from the want of unity among the people, and the variety of sects into which they are divided; each sect being desirous of a minister, and .form of service agreeahle to their own religious persuasion, and, consequently, indisposed to unite in erecting a house of prayer. 'Such being the effect of dis;. union, it is of primary importance to induce the people to unite in one communion, by contributing to the support of an eccle siastical establishment, which affords certain provision for the regular performance of „ ,public worship, and the best security for peace and prosperity in every community. • The progress and effect of the exertions made by the Society have already been very great and beneficial. - Its offer of aid has been embraced ; and, in many places, churches have been built, and ministers established. tinder its fostering care, the Church of England has widely extended her influence, and is rapidly increasing her congregations. Many persons of differ ent persuasions have already . united with her in worship, and now belong_ to her communion. Emigration from this cou try to Canada has lately increased to a very g n- reat txtent, and appears likely to continue, affording every inducement to the Society to redouble their efforts. Upwards of 12,000 emigrants arrived at Quebec in 1819; and Dr. Stewart is informed,, that this yetr,(lB2o,)the influx has not diminished. Those peor peo pie are particularly worthy of our charity ; and to them espe cially we are bound to impart that most inestimable treasure, the bread of life. it will be well bestowed, and will produce much fruit, to our mutual comfort and advantage. ur op portunity of doing good is ,enlarged; our obligations to per form it are increased; the eause prospers; and Society is blest. " The Lord has much people" in Canada; and it is to be hoped that, ere long, great will be the company of the preachers." " The thereforeay is plenteous, but the labour ers are few : Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Dr. Stewart is induced to believe that his mission has proved useful, and relies on the favourable disposition of the Society , for their approbation. Ile proposes shortly to resume his du tics, trusting in die continuance of their support, and in the providence of . God blessing every work and labour of love, undertaken for the propagation of the Gospel . of his Son I d J esus Christ. 66 53 - 197. - 311. 01.,TE FROM QUEBEC TO FORT ERIE 90 94) DO To Three Rivers Montreal Cornwall, Upper Canada Prescot - l3rockville Kingston Bath, Ernesttown Belleville Coburg, Hamilton township • Port Hope Yor.k - - Aneaster Grimsby Niagara Queenston ChiPpawa raft Erie . - 54 200 63 131 49 24 30 7 9 18 ____.l37 Fltoll AV C 1 TO SANDWICH.

JOIN' ATKINS, ESQ. This case. was called on again to-day, according to the order of the Commissioners at their last meeting. The rehearing ex cited increased interest e as it was understood that the defendant would, in person, resist the demand. A fall Bench of Com missioners attended. Several took their seats for the first time, and as soon as the usual oaths had been administered to them, Mr. John Atkinson, one of the Assignees, stated the case in support of the claim. He said that the debt was due to the es tateof Matthew Molony e a . bankrupt, for work done to the car riage of Alderman Atkins ; that since the first hearing every pains had been taken to ascertain and investigate the particu lars of this long standing debt, and that the result had been most satisfactory to the Assignees ; fier, in addition to the Bank rupt having sworn to the correctness of it, before the Commis sioners under his Bankruptcy, be (Mr. Atkinson) had a wit ness in attendance to prove all the-facts, who had himself per. fanned part of the work—that the carriage was launched in the Spring of Me, and that in the September following it had been sent to the Builder's to have the braces taken up, and that the Alderman's coachman, on returning with it, had, unfortunately, as he understood, run against a coal-waggon in London Wall, and damaged the carriage so much as to bei obliged to return with it to the coach-maker, and that, in eonseqieence, one side was p:ithed, and the splinter-bar repaired, and that this had caused the demand before the Court. J. Tutton was then examined by Mr. Atkinson, and proved that he was in the employ of Molony, the Bankrupt, in the year 1815, and that he recollected the building of Alderman Atkins's carriage, and the accident soon after it was launched, which insured the pannel and splinter-bar ; that he had repair ed the splinter-bar, and that the charge for the repairs was, in his opinion, extremely moderate.—The witness was then cross examined by Mr. Alderman Atkins ; but nothing was elicited to vary the statement of the witness. Mr. Js. Hrre ius;, the other Assignee, proved that he had examined the Bankrupt relative to the debt, and that he was present when alolony swore to the correctness of it, before the Commissioners under his Bankruptcy, and that he (Mr. H.) had himself frequently applied for it during the years 1316 and 1817, and at various times since that period. Mr. Alderman ATKINS addressed the Commissioners at con siderable length, contending, with great ingenuity, that he was - not liable to pay for the repairs which had been done to his carriage owing . to the carelessness of his servant, and that till hat day the injury sustained by it was unknown to him. That he had paid the bankrupt a balance subsequent to the period when the accident was said to have happened, and that there was a variation in the accounts, which had been delivered to him, as to the time when the work was alleged to have been performed, and that upon these grohnds he considered himself not liable to pay the debt. Mr. ATKINSON, in reply, stated, that it might possibly have happened that the Worthy Alderman did not know of the in jury which his carriage had received till the bill for the repairs was delivered to him, as the coachman might have felt some diffictilty in pro Claiming his negligence to his master ; and that with regard to the other objections, the bankrupt had sworn to the debt under the commission of bankruptcy against him, so that it *as imposaible it could have been included in the balance which the Alderman said he had paid the bankrupt. That as to any inaccuracy in the dates, it was not to be wondered at when it was known that it had taken the Assignees 4 months to bring the Bankrupt's books up to a close, and, he trusted, he had proved that the work was done—that he had shewn, to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, the justness of the de mand, and he confidently looked forward to their decision in, his favour, as men of business and respectability. The Commissioners having consulted together for some time, unanimously declared it to be their judgment that the Defendant should pay the debt and costs. On Monday, GEORGE GALLOWAY, Esq. was sworn into the office of Chief Magistrate of Exeter, for the ensuing year; W. CROCKETT, Esq. sworn into the office of High Sheriff ; HUM PHREY HILL PINIIEY, Esq. was sworn into the office of Receiver; and HUGH MIDDLETON Euut- COME, Gent, appointed Under-Sheriff.

TH E su-N. SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1821. We received this morning the French Papers of Monday last, which state, on the authority of commercial letters from Odessa, dated the sth inst., that the exportation of corn from the Rus sian ports in the Black Sea to Turkey has been prohibited. If this news be true, war is more probable than ever. Intelligence has been re- ceised from Constantinople as late as the end of August, which says, that frequent conferences take place between the English Ambassador and the Reis-Effendi. The Austrian Internuncio was in daily expectation of dispatches from St. Petersburgh, and In order to tranquillize the people who had shewn symptoms of dissa- tisfaction, a report was circuhted that a new Russian Ambassador would • arrive in the month of October. The march of the Turk- ish troops to. the Danube lias been, it is said, countermanded. Commercial letters from Riga state, that the grand Russian army is advancing in all directions towards the South, and that the reserves are following in the same course. They add, that in a certain event, (we suppose the com.; mencement of hostilities is here alluded to), the Grand Duke NICHOLAS will repair to the army. By accounts from the Morea, it ap pears that the Greeks have at length discovered the necessity of fighting under one Commander, instead of several Independent Chiefs ; and that a Provisional Government is aboutlo be establish ed, to direct their military operations. Prince DEMETRIUS YPSILANTI, it is conjectured, will be appointed Commander-in-Chief. The French Journals of this day contain long details from Madrid of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th of September, giving an account of some disorders which have taken place there. On the 18th General MORILLO resumed the military command of the capital, and of the province of Castille. On the 18th the Political Chief pub lished an Ordinance, prohibiting all kinds of pub lic meetings, the object of which should be contrary to the laws of police. This measure was produced by a plan which was known to exist of carrying the portrait of RIEGO through the streets. The Ordinance also de clares, that the Club at the Fontana d'Oro shall be suppressed for the present. Just after the Ordinance was published, with a great dis play of public force, a group of persons, 20 or 30 in number, appeared towards night-fall at the Sun Gate, with the portrait of Riego. They passed before the troops at the Sun Gate, but as they contented themselves with making only a great noise, the Officers did not think fit to dis perse them ; emboldened by this forbearance, they proceeded to the Municipality, where the Political Chid, the Commandant, and some Ge neral Officers were assembled. When the Po litical Chief saw this procession, which had increased in its: progress, arrive before the Hotel of the Municipality, he attempted to per suade them to separate ; the General Command ant placed himself at the head of the battalion of national militia on duty at the Municipality, and cleared the square with the bayonet. It is not known whether any persons were not wounded; but it is certain that nOtl6 were killed. The Political Chief himself charged the factious sword in hand, and seitied the portrait of RIEGO. Some Alguazils mixed by order of the authorities among the attendants of the portrait,and watched 'the most seditious; several, of ivhorn have been arrested. This measure has confounded the clubbists ; and thts first act of vigour on the part of the authorities, •to which they are not accustomed, has had a wonderful effect on that collection of wretches who every moment disturb the peace of the capital, and in the sequel that of the proVinces.—Letters from Seville saY/ that Major-General GRIMAREZ (almost 80 years of age),being condemned to 10 years in a presidio / for conspiring against the constitution, the sore s reign people, displeased with this sentence, went , to the prison and tore to piece this unhappy old man who bad retired from the service above ' 2O years.—Letters from Catalonia say, that RIEGO has been arrested at Lerida by the order of the Government. The yellow fever continues to make nrogre s4. in Catalonia. The m0,..t recent news on thi 4 subject have been transmitted from Perpigna u t under date the 22d September. At Barceionet ta the ravages of this disorder are dreadful. All the sick in the Lazaretto are dead. At present the fever has reached only four d:stricts of Barce lona, but it has recently manifested itself in t i : e garrison of Montjoui. At Tortosa 500 persocl have been carried off in eight days.—The Pyre' nean Cordon has been reinforced, and the activiti displayed by the French authorities on the (Ni l ' tiers of Spain will, we trust, continue to ove rt this dreadful scourge from visiting France. BLOCKADING SQUADRON before CARTHAGES' S. To Colonel MONTILLA, ConAmander-in-Chief. SIR—I have the honour of communicating t° your Excellency that 1 have carried into effect the project of cutting out from under the forts 01 the city of Carthagena the two gun-boats, fri (4l ' t' ing each a 24-pounder, the three barks, and 1111' three launches, each mounting an 8-pot ller ; and all the rest of the enemy's armed boats. likewise succeeded in scuttling the brig Of War Andalusia. The loss I have sustained is veil , small, not amounting to more than three Oleo and nine wounded. Our boats have sustaittea a some small damage. The contest was deci", in a very short time by the bravery and boldliest of the Officers and crews of our boats, w ho P° to the sword more than 200 of the e nemy. 25th June. J. P ADII,I-41t. Accounts from Lima state, that the i r ic' r°/ has permitted the various merchant vessels as Callao to arm themselves, and to take on bo ar volunteers, for the purpose of bringing of blockading squadron to action, in con se q uence which they have compelled the division left 1 " Lord COCHRANE, who was off Truxillo, to ab aw don the blockade, and that the Port of Ca lll° was, by the last advices, declared open. ,be The following are the chief con'esits 01 '- Spanish Papers and Dutch Mail, which we e re, this day : a v e " MADRID, SEPT. 17.—Two verdicts ve to lately been given by Juries, which ma y sero give a sufficient idea how far this instituti° applicable to our customs and to the state of ° f civilization.
