THE INStIaItACS- .IN . :A.
The Missionary Cisiimiek for January, gives the fol-
lowing particulars, in tehttion.to the recent transactions
`and pending judicial proceedings at Demersra. •
• PPIRROA.
The. Directors have at length the satisfaction of
forming the Members of the. Society, that they ha
received a letierfinm 41r. ElliCt, dated October 18, is'
closing a copy .of one written to the Treasurer on. the
S;WI -Septentiser, but detained in the Colony ; besidesl
onenriinications Irma other persons. -
"-T4osgeifera of Mr. Elliot 4300. the innocence of the
litirsaisiiries of all participation miaiever in the clime of
the insurrection and the Directors entertain no appre-
that which they shall have to re-
full credit to the declaration.
whiCh the assurances 'are
that the manly reelia;s
shine through them, will
ea to of ever'', impartial reader a convic-
tion of the veracity by which tht7 are dictated.
" Numerous false reports have beep* forth against
Smith" (Mr. 'Elliot might bate added against him-
self also)—".but assure yourself and all the Directors,
that whatever reportildu may hear, the only crime that
the Missionaries have committed is their zeal fur the
conversion of the Negroes.—They have neither bent
weak nor to Niched as to mite the Negroes to rebellion:
The Missionaries want justice only ; they have no favour
to ask ; they have nothing to fear. The Missionaries,
have not degraded their holy calling, nor dishonoured.
the Society of which they are members, by sowing the,
seedi of rebellion instead of the Word of Life. The real'
causes of the rebellion are far, very far, ftom being the'
instructions given by the MilsiOnaries." tre adds, " We
are not cast down; the Loth Our GOD supports us ; and
we ace persuaded that Ht who protected Daniel in the
lion's den, will support and protect us."
The Directors are persuaded that the friends of the,
Society will approve of their not making larger quota-I
tations from these communications at present, and that '
they will accept the brief statement which they are
about to offer, in the' confidence that they will be ena-
bled, ere long. to present to them a circumstantial jus-
tification of the character and conduct of their greatly
calumniated Misssionaries.
The statement, brief as it is, will be sufficient to
spew the falsehood of the almost innumerable reports
which have been industrieusly circulated through the
kingdom, audindeed through the world., •
Us colony "Of Demerara is divided nip:, the East and
•West Coasts by the.Dernerarst river, ;Wollner, includ-
ing.Mahaica, being on its right bank. Mr.. Elliot is
stationed on the West, Mr. Smith on the East Coast,
about twenty miles distant from each other. s'
It appears that the insurrectiim was entirely confined
to the East Coast, so that no'commotion whatever took
place on the estates On which Mr. Elliot labours, and
not oneng tke isegroa under his instruction was' impli-
cated
i the rebellion.
Mr. Elliot's being taken into custody wiei therefore
owing only (though he' had threatenings givedhltn) to
an alleged 4.4 disobedience.nr 9tders," which he had not
understood to be 'such," in* visiting Mr. SMith at the
Colo-14416115e the day after hewai sent. thither. -After.
a detention of shout ten days, during which „bin papers
were all taken from his house, he was allowed to return
home, under an injunction not to interfere with the.
trials.' NO charge wig preferred against him ; and thus
'ate the vehement accusations against all the Alissiona-
Pries of the. Socjety..tyithin the Colony, circulated for
several weeki.past throughoat the.country, reduced to
Mat a4y. against Mt. Smith.
. The insurrection, it should seem, manifested_ itself
;first de Mahatca; the district to the eastwardsof that in
'which Mr, Smith resides. Its appearance on Le Res-
[souvenir estate, where Mr. Smith resides, wis on Won-
'day, the 18th of August, in consequence dran order to-
take intb Custody .twto slives•belongint tir an adjortikrig.
plantatioq, whom thrnegroes of LeTtekisnitventr, as the.

return to their duty, till he himself was driven off wish
violence, and with a weapon held to his body, .
Mr. Smith was taken into custody on the evening of
the 21st of August, and all his papers seized ; he is kept
a prisoner in the Colony House, and has, since the 24th
ctf August, had a guatd stationed over him: Mrs. Smith
is not detained as a prisoner, but does not avail herself
of her liberty, lest, on Leaving her husband, she might
be refueisi access to him wa ',n.. After the 22i. Anguits
Mr. Elliot. had on communication with him.. MI-r.,
;Smith. was, on"Mituday, the 19th of October, brought
to trial before a Court-Martial, the Legality of ~%htth
froceediag is greatly doubted in this countrs.. The
public papers have stated four charges as tcirmor4 the
Indictment against him, but of their accu aey the Direc-
tors are not enabled to judge. The, :rust that. under
the direciiim of Dtvisa Pnoelmisea, ' een able
to preens himself guiltless of them ail. It is not, how-
ever, to he concedtbd, that he will have had.nsuCh to
contend With from the violence of public prejudice in
the Colony; and it is to be feared from the false asset-
tions of some of the unhappy negiees, whoM the hope
of favour towards themselves ma) hate led to bring
against"hitis " things that he knew not." •
Indeed, the Directors are informed, upon atithority
on which they can rely, that some of the conci-mned
flegroes,lfinding the hope of life taken allay, had,' in the
most- salvias manner, declared that. they bad been in-
duced so to act, and that others, on being questioned
Iwhether they had not been incised to rehelliori by Mr.
ISmith, had, in the strongest terms which their broken
language could supply, denied the imputation. It is
stated by the writer of one letter, that he has often heard
charges circulated against the Missionaries, as if spoken .
by the negroes at the time.of their execution,. which he
kuew (for he was a near spectator), they never uttered.
The issue of Mr. Smith's trial is not yet known in
England; but it is stated, in the public papers, that by
a vessel arrived at one of the out-ports, letters have been
received of the date of the 27th October, which men-
tion that the evidence for the prosecution closed on the
25th October, and that the Court ‘r ould meet on the
Ist November to proceed on the defence.
While waking for the decision, the Directors are
much grieved in knowing that the health of Mr Smith
has for some time been in a dangerous state, and that
his physician had, just before the insurrection broke out,
advised him to take a voyage to E.igland as the best
means of recovery. The Directors have written to him
recommending his compliance with this advice as soon
as circumstances will allow him so to do, which it may

be hoped will be the case ere long.
The Directors have received letters from Mr. Davies,
dated the 15. h and 18th of October. He arrived with
Ibis family in Demerara on the 11 th vf that month,
through the divine goodness, in heelth and safety..
Under the shock which the state of affairs occasioned,
he had the happiness to find his own congregation en-
joying tranquillity, and that not one of the negroes who
attended his Alini,try took any part. in the insurrection.
He speaks of the kindness with which the Governor re-
ceived himyand that he was allowed to preach as before.

NETV-YEARS DAY IN PARIS.

On New-Yeat's Day, which is called Le ,Aufr d'Etrettnes, •
parents bestow portions te their children, brothers CO thtir
sisters, and husbands make prel,cias to. their wives.
Carriages may be seen rolling through the streets with
cargoes of bonbons, sou:vizi:l, and the variety of et •*
oeterus with vrhich little children and grown vp children
are bribed- into *good humour; and here and there
pastry-cooks are to be met with, carrying upon boards
enormous. temples, pagodas, churches, and play ;houses,
made of fine flour and sugar, and the embellishments
which make French pastry so inviting: But' third is
one street in Paris to which a New-Year's Day is a whole
year's fortune—this is the Rue des Lombards, where the
wholesale confectioners reside; for in Paris every trade
and profession has its peculiar quarter. For several days
preceding the first of January, this street is completely
blocked up by carts and waggons laden with cases' of
sweetmeats for the provinces. ThOware of every form
and description which the most singular fancy coeld
imagine—bunches of carrots, green . peas, boots and
shoes, lobsters and crabs, hats, books, musical insult-
ments, gridirons, frying-pans, apd sautepans—ill,made
of sugar, and coloured to imitate reality. It WOuld-not,
perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that the anion* tx-
pended for presents on New-Years Day in Paris, for
sweetmeats alone, exceeds 500,000 francs, or 20,&101.
sterling. Jewellery is also sold to a very large amount,
and the many articles exported in the first week Of the
year to England and other countries, is computed it one-
fourth of the sale during the twelve months: InParii it
id byno means uncommon fora man of .8;000 or 10,000
.francs a-year to make presents on New-Year's Day
whiCh cost hire a fifteenth part of his income.- No per-
son able to give must on this day pay a visit empty-
handed. Everybody accept,, and every than gives,
according to the, means which he possesses. Females
-alone are excepted from the charge of giving. A pretty
woman, respectably connected, may recjwn her New-
Year's presents at something considerable. Gowns,
Jewellery, stoves, stockings, and artificial flowers, fill
her drawing-room; for in Par;s it is a custom to ditplay
all the gifts, in order to excite emulation, and obtain as
midi as poisible. At the Palace the New-Year's Day
is a complete Jour de fete. Every branch of the !loyal
Family is expected to make handsome presents to the
King. For the last six months the female branches
-have been busily&topied iii prepaling presents of their
Own manufacture, which will fill at least two common
sized waggons. The Duchess de Berri has painted an
enti:e room of japanned pannels, which will be set up
