GAMIL—As an instance of the abundance of game
which abounds in the vicinity of Stokesley, it is a
fact, that partridges are very frequently caught alive
by the boys in the streets of that place. On Friday
last, two fine ones were thus taken, after a severe
chase, to the great amusement of the inhabitants.
The following singular instance of missionary zeal
is related in a letter received by tte Homer, just ar-
rived from Charleston :—An old negro, nearly 70,
brought frorn • Africa at nire years of age, a barter
by trade, who had wrought himself and his wife
free, and then saved a good deal of money, resolved
to revisit his native country fur the purpose of impart-
ing the knowledge of Chi istianity to the people. For
the last two years lie had been making preparations,
and endeavouring to persuade his apprentices and
friends to go with hire.. The apprentices agreed to
go, but when the time arrived, they all drew back ex-
cept one. The beginning of last summer, he pur-
chased a schooner and set sail, and has not since been
heard of. Immediately before sailing. he wait(
an old Lady to bid farewell. 44 Why, John,

she, " you are a very old man ; you cannot
much use." Mistress," laid he, " I think I

as much of my own country talk .yet, as to tell
people about Jasus Clitusx ; and to tell ther-
white men are not so bad as they think therti ;
'Goa spares my life a few year9,l think I can di
good. I don't expect to find one relation
dead ; but me no cares will do what I can."
Lady asked what he would do with.bis.vessel
he arrived ? 44 Do," said he, a wly.:ucthisii
'get there—me no care for the schooner." 11

Churches in Charleston.

. a • .41rMairikeitto a question of Privilege. In t,.
early part of 1821, he had to bring a charge against
a person who had obtained money fl.com an indivsdpal‘
in order to procure for him a place of Deputy Ilea
Coal Meter.
Mr. Hicks said, he believed he mutt rise to move,
that strangers should be ordered to withdravi—(CrieN
of" No Ni!")
Mr. SAVAGE said. in his opinion, the Court ottolla•I
mon Council and the Citieens of London, had been'
grossly insulted by that person.
Another Member moved the Standing Order for
the exclusion of strangers; and, persisting in it, they
were obliged to withdraw. After being excluded an
hour and a half they were again admitted.
Alderman WA ITIMAN presented a Petition, as one
to be presented to Parliament respecting the appro-
priation of the ground on which it is proposed to erect
a new Post Office.
Mr. Muni trusted thakwhen this ground shpuld
be vested in the Crown, the Corporation .should be
assured that a new Post Office would be speedily
erected. His opinion was, that no such thing was in
immediate contemplation ; and if not,,k would be
proper to consult the Crown as to retracing their
steps before a single brick was laid, and after 300,0001.
had been already expended. He moved, 44 That the
Petition should be printed, and taken into further
consideration."

Mr. DORNFORD seconded that motion, thinking no
Post Office was intended to be built.
Mr. J. Gamma' slid, this Ores a Jll6 from begin-
ning to end ; and was only done to get rid r.f the
non-freemen out of that pan of the City.' 2. •
Alderman WAIT/14AX said, the objegt of this Pe-
tition had been agr.- to on the Report of IN Com-
mittee. The Corporation had now done its duty, and
he beiesed, himself, that the Government would do
its part.—The maim was uegatived ; and the Petition
agreed to.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 25 ISM
COMISRO, or Se nm—Holiday at die Eau&

Last night we had a Flanders Mail, bringing Brus•
sell Papers to the 2341 inst. and at a late hour this
morning we received German Papers to the 14th inst.
The accounts they bring are very contradictory. On
the one hand we are told that the Russian forces are

nurching in such great numbers towards the Pruth
as to indicate approaching hostilities; and, on the
other, that Russia will occupy Moldavia and Walla•
chin, in consequence of a convention with the Porte;
this, perhaps, is a hint, that either by peace or war,
the Emperor of Rtlf4LA if determined to have these
Provinces.

An article in the Algeueeine Zeibusg. of the 14th
inst. states, on the authority of letters from the fron-
tiers of Moldavia, that a Firman of the Poite was
published at J..ssy on the 24th of December, order-
ing the artillery to be sent back to Braila ; but com-
manding the Janissaries, on pain of punishment, to
remain, and enjoining them to abstain from all out-
rages. The Janissaries, it is ad.fed, at first refused
to suffer the artillery to be carried away, but after-
wards yielded to the mandate of the GRAND SEIGNIOR*
An article in the Austrian Observer contains a
new version of the taking of Tripolissa by the
Greeks, as fallacious as those that have already ap-
peared in some of the Journals in this country, which
Lave espoused the cause of the Turks against the
Greeks.

The Flanders Mail brings intelligence from Con-
stantinople of the 13th ult. at which time the capital
was tranquil. The following are extracts from the
German Pipers:
