lfietterfrlom Prestiientl Jmfcraon to Dr.P’rt‘estZ_i},
upon his “ Comparative View qf Socrates
and Jesus.”
. Wssrtrivc'roN, April 9. 1303-
Dear Sir-—Wh'ile on it short visit lately to
Monticello, I received from you a copy of your
C°mP3t‘8tlV8.Vietv ofSocrates and Jesus,and
I avail myselfol "the first moment of leisure
after my return,to acknowledge the pleasure
I had in its perusal, and the desire -it excited
to see you take tip the subject on a more ex-
tended scale. In COI1S8qll‘:'IlCe of some con
versation with Dr: Rtish in the years 179899,
I had promised him some day to write liitn a
letter. giving him my views of the Christian
system. I have reflected often on it since,
and even sketched the outlines in my own
mind. Isliould firsttake a general view of
tire moral doctrines of the most remarkable
of the ancient philosophers of ivliosefetliics we
have snfficient to make an estimate, say ofPy-
thagoras, Epicurus, Socrates, Cicero, Seneca
Antonius. I should dojustice to the braitclies
of morality they have treated well, but point
out the iiriportauce oftliose in which they are
delicieiit. I should then take a view ofthe
deisni ‘and ethics of the Jews, and show in
what a degraded state they were, and the tie-
cessity they presented of a reformation. I
should proceed to a view ofthe life, character
and doctrines ofJesus, who, sensible of the
iiicorrectness oftlieir ideas of the deity and
of morality, endeavored to bring them to the
principles of a pure deism, and juster notions
ofthe attributes ofGod ; to reform their nio-
ral doctrines to the standard of reason,jiisti'ce
and philantliropy, and to inculcate the belief
ofa future‘ state. This view would purposely
omit the question ofhis divinity, and even of
his inspiration. To do him justice it would
be necessary to remark the disadvantages his
doctrines have to encounter, not having been
committed towriting by himself, btit by th_e
most unfettered ofinen, by memory, long ‘alf-
ter they had heard them from liini,when much
was forgotten, tnuch misunderstootl, and pre-
sented in very parodoxical shapes. Yet such
are the fragtiieiits remaining, as to show at
master worktuaii,and that this system of mo-
rality was the most benevolent and sublriiie,
probably, that has ever been tatight, and more
perfect than those of any ofthe ancient phi-
losopliers——His character and doctrines have
received still greater injury froin those who
pretend to be his spiritual disciples, and who
have disfigured and sophosticated his actions
and precepts frotn views of personal interest,
so as to induce the unthinking part of inan-
_kind to throtv off the whole system in disgust,
and to pass sentence as air itiipostor on the
most innocent, the most benevolent, the most
eloquent and sublime character that has ever
been exhibited to man.”
It appears that ofthe fifty-seven men who
signed the Declaration of Independence, the
birth places of four are utiktiowii: teii were
natives of Mass"-rcliusetts; nine of Virginia ;
seven of Pennsylvania; fire of S. Carolina;
four of Maryland ; three of L‘-onnecticut; two
of Delaware ; three of New Jersey ; two oi
New York; two of Rhode Island; two of
England, one offreland, and one of Wales.
The youngest titan who signed the declara-
tion of Independence, was Edward Rutledge,
of S. C. then aged twenty six years, and the
oldest man who signed it was Benjaniin
Frankliii, aged seventy years.‘ What a splen-
did career of tisefuliiess he ran‘ after‘tliree
score and ten l The average age of all the
persons who signed the Declaration, at the
tiitie of signing, was a fraction more than
forty years. .
Thomas Lynch, Jr. ofS. C. was but twenty
seven when he signed the Declaration, and
died in the 30th year of his age, being the
youngest man who died after having signed
the rtiost important ofall State Papers. It is
remarkable that the three youngest iiieu in
Congiess,Jtily 4, 1776, were all South Caro-
‘liuians, their ages averaging but twenty seven
years and a third, while that of the whole as
seiiibly, their own included, ‘averaged more
than 44 years The average age of theper
sons wtio signed the Declaration, at the iinie
of their death, was 66-years and nearly a half
ayear. The one who lived to the greatest.
age, was Wm. Ellery, of R. I. who lived to be
99.. The only one of them now. aiive, is
Charles Carroll, who is now in his 33th yr.

Constantiiiople has lately been the scene of
a terrible commotion. The Janisaries, who
have for iiiauy centuries held high authority
thro’(-ut the domiiiious ofthe Grand Seignor,
becomitig dissatisfied with certain new regu-
lations which had been introduced into the
army, rebelled against the goveriimeiit, and
at midnight on the 14th June, assembled in a
botly to the number of 12,000, and proceeded
to massacre their general, but be escaping to
the palace of the Grand Vizier, they wreaked
their vengeance upon his family, and then
proceeded to the palace of the Grand Vizier
which they pillaged, liiruself and attendants
having tied to a pavilion ofthe Grand Seignor
' near the Seraglio -where all the officers and
friends of the government soon assembled in
great numbers and formed themselves into a
body, and with several battalions of troops
proceeded against the rebels. The latter
finding themselves overpowered threw them-
selves into their barracks, but the doors were
soon burst open, and the barracks set on fire,
and tiearly 3000 of the rebels lost their live-
by fire and sword. Considerable treasure was
found in the barracks which was abandoned
as booty to the conquerors.
The rebels were pursued in every direction,
and all who were foutid with arms in their
‘hands were coiidetniied to execution. The
less guilty were banished, which includes the
porters, firemen and boatinen, who were prin-
cipally of this corps. The Janisaries consist
entirely of foreigners, criniitials, $1. cliristiaus,
who upon. joining the corps become mussul-
men. We believe that no native rnaliotnetati
was permitted by the laws to belong to the
corps. They have heretofore engrossed all
the offices of the government, and sincethis
event there has consequently been a='great
change in _tlie aspect uf"afi'.tirs. The Sultan

'a petition to Mr. Canniiig, requesting him ti?
prevent Lord Cochrane from acting againlgf
the Turks, and to lay an embargo on the re-
sources destined for him. ,
The Gazelle, a frigate. built for the Paclizr.
of Egypt, has been insured at Lloyd’s at three
per cent. and a warranty was given that she
was to be accompanied by ttvo French frigates
from Marseilles to Alexandria. We hope,
iiotwithstanding the convoy of two French
ftlgatesi that the Messrs. Lloyd’s will have to
pay the full price ofthe Gazelle.
It is stated that Lord Cochrane cruised
. for some time of? Cape St. Vincent until he
had collected all his vessels, eight in number,
some of which carry Perkin’s treinendotis
steam 68 pounders. His Lordship’s own ship
the Perseverance is a steam vessel of 400 tons.
It is said one of Lord Cochrane’s steam‘
vessels had arrived at Napoli diRouiania,and
his Lordship, with the rest of his sqlm(Il'Ol],_
was hourly expected there. At Napoli it was.
rumored that the Greek Government will-
appoint hini Admiral of all the naval threes,
and that he will immediatelygproceed to Con-.
stantinople, by forcing a passage through the‘
Dardanelles, and set fire to that city.
FROM Pois'roo41..—-A letter of the 30th
June, from Lisbon states, that the important
documents from Rio Janeiro, viz. the act of
amnesty, the constitution, and the act of abdi-
cation, had been received with great joy by
the Portuguese people, and, after expressi
the aitachtiient of Portugal to the Einpero
Don Pedro, it adds:—-“ The condition fixed
by the Emperor will be eagerly fulfilled; for
the public joy demonstrates in the most evi-
dent manner,that the oaths to the constitution
will be the noble object ofpatriotic emulation.
‘[The condition in the official act, which were
received and published in this country five or
six weeks ago, are explicitly as follows, viz .:_
-that the act of abdication shall not be catrietf
into effect until the Portuguese shall have ta-
keii the oath ofallegiance to his infant dangli-
ter, now declared Queen, nor until the cere-
mony of marriage between the Emperor's
brother and his daughter shall have taken
place.]
Distress in England —It appears that the-.
condition ofthe laboring and productive clas-
ses of England is more distressing now than
at any former period, and begins seriously to
alarm the Ministers. The committeeof relief
for the Spiialfield sufferers have reported that.
they have expended the £25,000 placed in
their_hands, and yet there was no dimuiiition
of distress among the weavers. More than
m‘n'e thousand persons have been supported
by this charity, but now that is exhausted the
prospect is most gloomy. In some places the
class of inhabitants which has contributed
‘much to_the relief of the distressed is gradu-
ally siriking into pauperism, and becoming_
applicants themselves for charity.
The paralyzed state of the country circula-
—A merchant visited a manufacturing town
in the west of England for the purpose of
giving large orders for woolletis of coarse fab-
ric, for which he offered to pay by bills on
London at three days’ sight. He found no
manufacturer willing to execute his orders,
except at prices so high as would have defeat-
ed his object. The great majority of the
the Want of assistance from the local bankers,-
who found it useless to issue notes which were
immediately returned upon them to -‘he ex-
changed for sovereigns. All the property of
.thc manufacturers lay in liouses,or machinery,
or goods, ofamplc value in themselves in or-
dinary times, but now they could not raise
sufiicient money to pay their wurltuieii on
such security. A few individtials who had
capital at command were ready to furnish
goods ;but desirous of reaping the full advan-
all around them were disabled, required pri-
ces ruinously high to the merchant, who com-
sequently abandoned the transactioris alto-
gether. .
Manchester.-It is our painful duty to ob-
serve. that there is yet no improvement uran-
ifested in the state of coiiiinerce or tnanufac'-
tures in this town, its neighbourliood, or the
extensive district with which it is connected;
Last Tuesday’s market was the worst that has.
been known. Every thing, indeed, is flat and.
uuprotnising. Some Houses of rank have
retired from their manufacturing pursuits ;--
many factories have again liinitedtheir hours
of labor ; demand for goods becomes more is;
more circumscribed, money scarcer, and cori-
fidence less. In consequence, the wants of
the labouring class are urgent, and the dispo-
sition to quietness which has been so obvious
in their general character is gradually, we
eiiiissaries are busily engaged in stiring up a-
mongst them feelings ofa hostile nature, and
we have reason, to presume, with no inconsid-
erable degree of success. Nocturnal meetings
are held in various places; atid on Wednesday
night one of this description was silently ob-
tained in the precincts of this _town. It was.
composed chiefly ofthe lowest description of
characters,in the neighborhood of St.George?3
Road ; but language ofa very daring nature
was used by sortie delegates, speakers on the
occasion. A strong patrole of the military
was itntnediately ordered oirt on duty ; but no.
breach of the peace occurred. . V
