religion with the flocks. The King of Ha- 
nover, also, has published a decree, which 
does away with the distinction between an 
established and a sectarian church. Is it not 
a pity that the Ministers of the King of 
England cannot imitate so illustrious an 
example ? 
Of Russta our only theme could be its 
physical calamities, but the detail of the 
desolation and miseries which have resulted 
from the inundations would fill up columns, 
which we have not to spare. 
GREECE AND TURKEY. 
. Theformer rising ; and the latter falling. 
At Constantinople, 25th Nov., the Captain 
Pacha had arrived with a few vessels, but 
did not appear to be in disgrace. The 
Egyptian fleet isin the Port of Candia. The 
check which it has received is fully con- 
firmed. The Greeks have taken a great 
many of the vessels, with troops on 
board. 
Such is the disturbed state of Turkey, 
that the Grand Vizier is not permitted to 
join the army, because his presence is ne- 
cessary to preserve tranquillity in Con- 
stantinople. 
An article, from Corfu, states, that the 
dissentions in the Morea had ceased with 
the death of Colocotroni, the son, who, 
haying revolted against the central Govern- 
ment, was declared a rebel, and upon this, 
put to death by his own soldiers. 
The destruction of Schiraz, in Prrsra, 
by an earthquake, is confirmed. It hap- 
pened June 20, 1824, and, it is said, only 
Chronology of the Month.

500 inhabitants escaped. At Aleppo there

REPUBLIC OF HAYTI. 
The zeal of the Methodist Missionaries 
has excited some tumults, and the govern- 
ment having, in vain, invited them to retire, 
put some thirteen of them into temporary 
confinement, principally, it seems, to protect 
them from violence. The president and 
government profess to protect persons of 
all persuations, in the free exercise of their 
respective worship; but not to guarantee 
the zeal of proselytism, when it leads to 
tumult. 
AMERICA.—UNITED STATES. 
The message of the President of the 
United States, presented on the 7th of 
Dec. to both Houses of Congress, contains 
as is the custom in that republic, aclear and 
manly exposition of the state of the cguntry, 
the line of policy that has been pursued, and. 
not only the principles but the precise ap- 
plication of them that will be pursued 
hereafter, if certain specified contingencies 
should require. Speaking of the affairs of the 
South American Republics, ‘“ It is impossi- 
ble,” says the president, ‘‘ for the European 
governments to interfere in their concerns, 
especially in those alluded to, which are vital, 
without affecting us ; indeed the motive which 
might induce such interference, would appear 
to be equally applicable to us. It is gratify- 
ing to know that some of the powers with 
whom we enjoy a very friendly intercourse, 
and to whom these views have been com- 
municated, have appeared to acquiesce in 
them.”

CHRONOLOGY OF THE MONTH. 
HE first export of wool from England, 
for two centuries, took place lately ; 
fifty bags of a coarse quality were exported 
to the United States of America. The ex- 
port of wool has been prohibited for two 
hundred years from England. 
_ The duty on salt ceased on Wednesday, 
Jan..5, in pursuance of an act of the last 
session of Parliament. The great reduc- 
tion in price—and the exemption from 
bonds and excise restrictions will, no doubt, 
cause a great increase in the consumption 
of this invaluable article in domestic eco- 
nomy. Itis said, also, that patents have 
been taken out for improvements in the 
process of making salt.
