Iasurrection at Porto Rico We learn
by Capt. Mason, arrived yesterday from
Ponce, p. r. that on the god July an in
tended Instruction Of the blacks, near
that place, to destroy the white inhabit-
auts, had been discovered, and the prin-
cipai leaders apprehended. 1t appears
their intended plan was, to go in the
night to the doors Of the white inhabit-
ants, as they passed on the road to
Ponce, and give an alarm Of fire, and as
the white people came out of their
houses TO murder them. They likewise
intended, the better 10 carry their plan
into effect, and TO draw the whites out.
TO SET fire 10 one or two OF the estates
nearest TO Ponce, and then rush into the
place, and gel possession Of the arsenal
and The firearms of the militia there de-
posited-then arm themselves, and de-
stfoy all the whites. They Sere discov.
cred by one of the slaves, who informed
his master. The authorities had taker
up and examined great number, ant
had found twenty-lour Of the leaders
who would undoubtedly be executed
II seems the blacks had had this plot il
view for FIVE months previous.

that the boat took fire on Thursday last,

of increasing the numbers of their
church. The Swiss government has
cautioned The people against these at
temp,s, by public advertisements, from
which we learn the following facts =
The priests first succeed in persuadiog
some young Swiss to embrace the Ro-
mish religion, and when this is done,
great pains are taken TO impress on the
person the duly he owes to God III
bringing over all his relations and friends
TO the true faith. Under the direction
of the Romsh clergy, the newly con-
verted writes TO some of his young re-
lations, telling them what advantages
they may reap by coming into France,
where he has means of promoting their
interests. The unsuspecting parents,
deceived by these fair promises, allow
their children to depart, but when they
arrive at the place where they expect
10 meet their friend, they are seized on
by the clergy, and forced into semina-
ry where they are kept as prisoners, hll,
by force and persuasion, they are iaduc-
ed to ALLURE their religion.
Interesting .Anecdo!e-A lady in Bris-
tol,. (EngIand,) deeply impressed with
the importance of the Bible Society,
determined to make personal application
in its behalf TO an elderly gentleman o.
her acquaintance, who possessed much
wealth, but never contributed to objects
OF this nature. She was told by her
friends it would be in vain, but this did
not shake her resolution. She called
and presented the case, exhibiting all the
documents calculated to promote heI
object. They produced no impression
She then reasoned with him, but With
out effect. AT length she asked him
the question, " Have you Bible, Sir 81

she, " there are thousands in this Ian,
who are destitute Of that which yo,

The notices of the harvest in Eng
land, are favorable; yet knowledge
of this fact does not appeaE TO have had
any effect on the price of grain. The
truth is that an average crop will no

LIVERPOOL, JULY 20.
The accounts from different parts OF
our own country, and from many more
of the more distant manufacturing parts
of Great Britain, continue to be of a
very painful description; and, what has
added TO the alarm is. that in Manches-
ter, Stockport, and some other places,
meetings have been called by some des-
perate and atrocious wretches, in order
to inAame the suffering population, and
urge them 10 deeds Of blood.
| Distress IN Ireland-The distress in
Ireland is not confined to the poor
weavers; the highest trees Of the for
est, are bending to the storm ; men
who have passed through long life
with honor TO themselves, and solid ad-
vantage to their country, are obliged
10 yield to the heavy pressure Of the
times.
The editor of the Cork Chronicle
says, g the accounts of distress in this
city, which reach Us every moment, are
I of description 10 harrow the feelings
of the most obdurate, There are at
this instant in the city of Cork, families
,chich haze not tasted a mOrsel Of food fol
too days and too nights"
Under date of Copenhagen, July II,
it is stated that owing 10 the long con-
tinuance of excessive heat, all hopes OF
a good harvest were given up. Capt
Kolzehue had arrived at Copenhagen
from his voyage round the world.
By the contents Of the German pa,
pers, it appears that IN Poland, there is
abundance of corn but very different
is the state of Sweden, where failure
Iof the harvest, and a consequent search
! ity are fully expected.
Besides this calamity, distressing raw
ages were committed by fire in variou:
parts of the country.

Our fellow-citizens will learn, with
regret, that intelligence has been re-
ceived at the State Department of the
death of Mr.. Anderson, our Minister tc
Colombia. He died at Carthagera, on
the cath of July, on his way to Papau,a,
as one of the Commissioners 10 the great
American Congress. To say that Dir
Anderson was first among our foreign
Ministers, would be only to repeat SEN
timent which we have several times
heard pronounced; and 10 his treaty
with Colombia we refer as evidence Of
its correctness.

PrOte'tant'sm Z" Laly,-It is gratifying
10 hear, that. after SO many fruitIess al.
tempts, the protestant religion is making
some little progress in Italy. Churches
have been built in Leghorn, Venice,
Bergamo, &c. by the descendants Of
some Protestant, German, and French
refugees, who preserved their faith pure,
among all the corruptions of religion
they have daily witnessed, and through
all the prosecutions they and their fore
fathers have undergone. The service
OF the church is 10 Italian, which has
now superseded their native languages

contains some account of the installation
of the American Congress at Panama,
and the address from Don Manuel Lo-

the Republic of Peru, TO the Plenipo-
tentiaries from the other States. The
address of Vldsurre (remarks the Jour-

the deliberations Of the Congress, in
none of which do we perceive the slight

tlons-and takes an interesting view OF

4 letter from DR.. s. G. Howe, dated Napoli.
April 29, Is published in the Boston States
man, III which he narrates the wTetched
and suffering circum stances of the Greeks.
The following are extracts from his letter:
For ten months have the eyes of
Christian Europe been turned upon
Missolonghi they have seen her inhab-
ltants struggling at enormous odds "a
galnst the horrors of war and famine ::
her men worn out, bleeding and dying !;
her women gnawing the bones of dead
horses ard mules; her walls surround
ed by Arabs, yelling for the blood Of
her warriors, and 10 glut their hellish
lus!s upon her women and children.-
Ali this they have seen, and not raised
finger in her defence and, al last, they
have seen the catastrophe. You may
talk to me of national policy, and the
necessity of neutrality; but say, a
curse npon such policy-it is contrary
10 Christianity and humanily-it is a
disgrace TO our age, that two millions of
Christians should be left TO the. sabre
and yoke of the Turk
Anatolco, an island about six miles
from Missolonghi, was attacked by the
fleet, anI by the Arabian army, who
waded across the shallow channel that
separates il from the main, made land
ing, and marched up TO the towns Their
first column was cut TO pieces and driven
back a second attack was not more
successful; but, at the third, they broke
through the feeble defences of the
Greeks, hewed down the soldiers where
they stood and butchered or carried off
as slaves, 5000 women and children.
The inhabitants of Missolonghi knew
their only alternative to be death or
submission. They had been six days
without morsel of bread they bad
eaten up all the jackasses, dogs and
rats in fine, every thing that could be
converted into nourshment; and had
only the last resort of the brave, death,
with their swords in their hands. The
sick and wounded, the old people,
with some men who would
not leave, we're then shut up in some
buildings over mine, where had been
placed all their powder; the rest then
sailed out upon the enemy, and made
a desperate attempt to cut their way
to the mountains. Who, and how many
effected this, we do not yet know ;
but It is supposed that one half perish.
ed The Turks entered The town in
the morning, and attacked the remain
ing Greeks, who, after short resis-
lance, when they had dawn their ene-
mics around them, sci fire TO the train,
and buried them with themselves il
one common ruin.
