1t has been stated in some of the pa
pers published inthis city, FIRST, we be-
ieve, in the Evening PosO and most
likely circulated through all parts Of the
country, that Methodist Missionary was
condemned to be hing, as a prompier

Demarara. The name of the missona-
ry is said to be Smith. We have eX-
ahmed the minutes OF the British Con

not one Missionary in all the West In

as the newspapers have furnished our readers

published by authority; and Of the whole af-

We have. however, the pleasure of stating,
that the Secretaries OF the Wesleyan Nctho-

letter from Mr.. Mor,ier, Zone of the missiona-

satisfactorily refutes tue inhscriminate censures
cast upon Missionaries, as the exciters of the
revolt. Two of the Missionaries, OF another

prisoners. We trust that their innocence will

Eurohean Politics The late papers

comments upon the able Massage OF our
President, at the opening of the presen,
Congress. These commints are, for
the most part, highly Catering; and fur

reigns, who, since the exhibition Of our
strength IN the war Of l9l4, have learned
the mortitying lesson, that whatever may
constitute the dipi1e right of kings,

What they may affect to believe, with
regard to the rights Of nan, they seem
20 have acquired thorough knowledge
OF The Tact, tboi the 7DjU IF man only IS

free he0hle are as able to govern them
selves, as The monarch who derives his
exclusive right from the 7yiH Of Heauen.
W reloice to see, that England con-
tlnues iym in her determination 10 sup
port the independence OF the Southern
Republics. Her own safety will I'M
qpesilonah'y depend upon her adherence
to his principle; she is the Only Power
IN Europe, that possesses any thing re-
sembling fehreSentatiUe government,
and though we on This SHE Of the A Ian
ic may smile at her boast OF freedom,
yet Ii is nevertheless true, that her peo-
pie enjoy that blessing IN a higher de-
gree, tban those of any other government
ON the European Continent. In conpa-
clson with any other monarchica go
vernmen!, indeed, hers deserves to be
called Tree: and her people seem TO be
perfectly aware OF the advantages they
possess over any other subjects Of The
ca WOtiu.

to poses influence with the Bourbons,
and that she would be disposed to exer-

sious upon the Presiden S Message, the
| haughly tone in which some of the
| French papers speak Of an Interference
on the part of a mere " temhorary Pre-

and the intimate connexon between he
sovereisns Of France and Spain, would
seem 10 contradict the rumor, that the
advice Of England had prevailed in the
| French Cabinet.
We have no doubt that Ferdinand
would willingly sell his recognition OF
the independence of his colonies; but
we should he sorry to see these young
Republics compelled to hay for again

chased at the price Of SO much blood.

upon his congregation the duty of a peaeeable

hundred and sirteen persons, chiefly slaves, who

TWO persons one free, the bther slave, are
suspected as being in the least connected with

ingly hopeful that even they will be fouh in
nocent, or but very Slightly culpable upon in
vestigation."
" The sweeping censures in which various
letters from Denarara have INDUCED against
the religious instruction of the slaves, have
made it necessary for us TO state these facts ;
and if in a state Of general excitement, more
than twelve hundred slaves and people of CO.
Tor connected with our mission, have been re-.
tanned and Kept in subordnation, another
proof has been exhibited that, by whatever
causes the insurrection was promoted, it is not

daily losing the confidence of the people,
but losing confidence in each othev.
Where there are so many expectants Of
office, all fancyiUg their zeal in the cause
of the Treasury Candidate entitled to
priority of payment, it is impossible that
all can be satisfied; and the inevitable
consequence must be, that in the course
Of a few months, Georgia will be alone
