"The Council at Turkeytown, was a meeting of the Chiefs
of the Creek fuel Cherokee nations, for the !impose of
ssttling ha 1111 l leries between theta, and ratifying a Treaty be-
tween the latter and United States. Auer the Treaty was
ratified, Genend Jackson eery politely introduced the sub-
ject of the school, and tirgetklie importance of eiltteatitig
their children. l explained th'e principles on uhi.h the
school was to he established. After • short consultation, one
of the principal Chiefs took me by the hand very direction-
ately, said they had listened to my talk and understood it ;
that they were glad to ace Inc wished to have the schools es
tablislied, and hoped they would be of great advantage to the
nation. I have agreed to meet one of their Chiefs on the 2l ili
instant, to select a place.' The buildings will then be erected.
I shall need considerable assistance at the commencement :
but I hope if we are prospered, iu a few years to be able to
raise most that we shall mint—and in that way to teach the
children the economy of civilised life, and to get them into
habits of industry, which will be very important.
" I have been twice solicited to preach in the Indiarinotion,
which skews that they are desirous of religious instruction as
well as literary. I hope to have is Sunday School established
among them iu a few weeiss."
Extracts?' a &M a- from a gentleman at Chapel 11111, North Carolina.
On the anti July, a Missionary Society was irstitned
Raleigh, for the purpose of sending ministers to preach lb •
Gospel in destitute parts within the hounds of the Synod of
North Carolina. A considerable loom was theu sttbseribe.l.
The prospects of the Society are promising. Mare than 30J
dollars have been subscribed in this village. Many of those
who compose this society are men of the first characters in
the State. Several gentlemen of the law department are en-
rolled amongst its members. Its Vice-President is one of
the associate Judges of the United States, but more honour.
ably distinguished by being of that number who profess that
this world is not their rest.

TROII THE SANDWICH ISLES.
In the Recorder for Sept. 24, p. 155, we gave some
account of a young prince, son of the ling of Atooi, one
of the Sandwich islands,—And in the Recorder for Oct.
29, p. 124, we published a letter which he wrote to a
lady in Connecticut, in which he signs his name George
Prince Kummooree. It should be written Tamoree.
Capt. Edes, who arrived at this post on Thursday last
from elle Pacific Ocean, was at Atooi and saw King
Tamorce.—He inquired particularly after his son, but
Capt. Edes could give no information.—Capt. E. re-
lates the following anecdote : Capt. Ebbets, in the ship
Enterprise, of New-York, was at Atooi in February
last, and during a violent gale lost all his anchors but
one. The ship was saved by King Tamoree, who sent
a boat in the height of the gale with a large anchor on
board, and thus enabled him to ride it out.

An American ship, and the lives of several Ameri-
can seamen have thus been preserved by the humane
exertions of King Tamoree.

TROM CHINA.

By the arrival of the ship Beverley at this port. on
Thursday last in 140 days from Canton, we have re.
ceived several numbers of the Pekin Gazette and other
Chinese productions, translated into English by the Rev.
R. Morrison. These works are interesting as they illus..
trate Chinese customs and literature. We shall publish
extracts from them heroaßer. The following is part of
a letter Rom Rev.- R Morrison dattxl.

Macao, China, May, IAI6.
During the last twelve mouths there have been several cases
of hostility to the Roman Catholic Christians in Chinn. One
European Missionary was beheaded in Sze.clinen, a western
province. A native priest also was pot to death there by the
viceroy. Several others mere pnnislied by transportation.
Hie imperial Majesty sanctioned these proceedings.—China
has been much agitated fur several years by a disposition to
rebellion i and by associated banditti in different parts of the
empire. 'A Tartar Khao, near Castiger, revolted recently,
but bas been suppressed.
