LATEST FROM ICUROFF. JS'opriurvft. Tlic par ket ship Sully from ILivre ha? arrived at New York, ,,.j;lC;I!U' Paris files to the lt of Scp:e ruber. We gather the following from the Commercial Advertiser and the N. Y. American. The Pari? papers prove that the express of the London Atla carried forged new, no peace having been concluded a late as the 5th September at Constantinople, though ik go'.iations are still going on. The actual condition of affair? at the ln'-t dates may thus be slated. On the 1-t Sept. negotiations were opened at Adrianople then the Russian head quarters. Oa the Cd and 3d, these :egoiiation were supviuFd, but not broken off, die Turkish Commissoncrs Laving asked time to consult their Govcrnmcnt upon one of the points at isiae. The Rus-ian chief acceded to ibis delay, under stipulation that the treaty shoidd be signed and ratified by the Uh Sept. and meantime his troops were advancing upon Constantinople, and were within 15 leagues of it, at the latest dates- There will, then, we doubt not bo peace. No ( hange had been made in the French ministry the warof the Journalwas carried on with unabated violence. IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND. Rumor were again adoat ot change in the British Ministry, which we

Toe Paris paper of the '23th of

war will he fixed at St. Petersburg), and Turkey will give guarantees lor her fidelity in fulfilling the conditions of the Treaty of peace. No doubt of the early termination of hostilities can be entertained, a the Ottoman Ministers are completely disheartened, and express them-elvcs in terms of ve; oration and devotedness for the Emperor of Russia. We arc assured that hostilities have been suspended until the peace be ratified. Nevertheless the works of fortifications are pushed with activity. The Sultan does not quit hi camp at Bands Tschiftlick. The Mussleman are enjoined not to lay aside their arms. This measure, and the appearance of Ruian troops at Karaluirna, on the Black Sea, and atCzurli, indicates hut too clearly that Gen. Die aitsch intends to follow up his operations until the conclusion of peace." The following intelligence from Belgiade. September 5, is abo furnished by the Augsburg Gazette: "Letters from Adrianople announce that the Turkish Commissioners charged with negotiations at the Russian head quarters, endeavor to protract them, but Gen. Diebitsch has fixed a term peremptorily, after which he will attack the caoital without delay.' This statement is coroborative of that from Adrianople, of tlie 9th, given above. Ktr:ct(if a j ri.alv Ida r from Marseille-: A traveller just arrived here from Anrona, states that he Lamed there of a cabinet courier that General DiebitH'h had still his hea 1 quarter ai Adriui.oplc. hut wa sending from theme troop- in all directions to within twelve or fifteen leagues of the capital, and That the Russians cut oil all

communications, without even -u tiering couriers to pass, which obliged them to take circuitous road. Thi havt lb reo'x ludes from what he heard, that the object of General Diebitsch is to prevent intelligence arriving promptly in Europe, in order that he mav not be thwarted in his projects bv diplomatic intervention."

According to an Odessa date of September 2d, Sumakolf, on the Balkan ridge had fallen into the hands of the Rusians, the Bulgarin h iving themselves acted as guides to the Ru-sians, and the Turks having taken to tlight.

FOK TIIK INDIANA STATE GAZLTTi:. RELICIOUS LIBERTY. No. 3. 'J'hat the condition of the Friends: was particularly alluded to, in my fust numbers, is doubtless very evident to my readers. In order to sustain the jMisition which I have assumed, that their liberties are abridged, it will be necessary to shew that inasmuch as the military services icuired from them are never rendered, owing" to their conscientious scruples, theexactjons of tines and equivalents therefor, is unjust and impolitic. At the formation of the Constitution of the United States and ef this State, and for ajjes before, the Friends were known to the world to possess tluse scruples and to have adopted a pacific policy, after the example ef the Prince of Peace, for the go eminent of their moral and religious conduct. This faith they held as a society before the ori

gin of our government; and as it exists between them and their .Maker, it, is in their estimation paramount to the laws and institutions of the country. The same could not be s iid of any religion or creed springing into existence after the formation of the constitution. Although governments should be as nearly as practicable, adapted to the condition and sentinx nts of all classes and denominations ve. when once formed with due regard 'o the civil and religious rights of all; no cbmge should be ejected to meet corresponding ( h inj- s of opinion and sentiment of anv number of the people less than a majoiitv.

I ins the r; lends have not asiaa. They bad a right at the formation of the c.in:ituiion, todemand an aUia.ti.m to tin ii pee.diar siluation in'ead of which, their I'onvaentious screpbs were very upaeifmonioiisly required to be saro ndeied uj, upon a condition which does not n ni.e the dithculty, and which i;i eemptin

the:a tiorn ac'u d perfirnni:cc ot o r'ain services, mabc? tio odious demand of an equivalent in money. Now tlieirvo'cmtai v compliance with cither of which, would !e equally in rotation of their consciences and religious fiith. These opleare either honest in tfteir convictions against the propriety of learning the art of killing their fellow-men, or they are not. Sincrri'y of purjMise, however, is generally admitted. Look at the persecutions tbev have withstood since the d ivs of George Fox witness thepatient and meek dism silion, w ith wliitdi they have borne repeated

injury and aggression from their fello.vmen, and yoa c mnot hesitate to pronounce them more sincere than anv religious denomination on earth. Odier religions In ve originated in sjh-cuI ition. avarice and ambition and have every hue and complex

ion of theditlercnt schemes by which their various tenqioral aims wee to be accomplished. Not so with tliereligion-of the ker. It wa taught bv the Prince of Peace and its practice is now conformed to his h'- ivenlv maxims and glorious example. "He does justly, loves mercy and walks humbly beibrc d'od, and w hen he is reviled he rewleth not again.' To say more would b- superfluous, and b would be i!bbral. Then, it vjzo rr, bow can tin v learn the bloody art, tbr which they have such a se -tied aversion ! And if it were jm ssibb- for them to J,rre theu 'hes into a knowledge of tacticks, with what propriet could th at kuoA ledge ever be called into active requisition, when combined with a mind not assenting to iu beneficial exeition?

-1TK ANZTUAIi HEPOB.T or thi: MARION COUNTY lUlUX SOCIETY. In every labour of life, the enquiry to what go(Kl, constantly presents itself to the human mind, and as the answ er requires an examination of the past, we come to the yearly review of our exertions, as members of this society, w ith the humble trest, that to no part of our engagement can we turn with more hope of gratification, to none allbrding for the labotirso rich an interest, as to our endeavors, as friends of the bible, to aid in giving it universal circulation. To find our anxieties to have been in any degree ekwaled above the narrow selfishness of cares, which so naturally keeps m ill's charity at home, and that our energies have been somew hat enlisted in extending the means of happiness to our fellow men, furnishes reflections so far grateful and consolatory, as under all discouragements, to excite us to renew ed diligence and zeal. That in contributing our portion to the

ittempt to furnish, within a reasonable time, every family in the United States, aid eventually every human being on the earth, with the sacred scriptures, we are discharging a piimary article of our duty to Goo! and man, we tend, at this day, to be

beyond quest ion ; and we would indulge

the liojie, that the hour is at hand, when

the ditfusion of the revealed will of our

.Maker and preserver, will not only enliven

the hearts of the followers of the cross

but deeply inteiest every American father

and patriot. If it be at length evident,

'hat all truth springs from itsdevelopemeiits

That intelligence, morality and virtue will U univers dly manifested, as the sacred truths of revelation receive the admission in the human heart, to which their Source and val- ' entitle tlietn, is iiot less the expectation of the believer, than the experience of all. Many, we trust, even through the limited etlorts of this society, have cause to exclaim, with the sweet singer of Israel, 'when thy word goeth forth, itgiveth light and understanding to the simple;' and to 'I e thirst t'or bible knowledge arising, as

well in the hearts of the parent as the youth of our land, by thooerations of a rapidly

sp:raumg anu Kin. r u lnsiimiionn, we would cbee i tolly refer, as an evidence of an impro'.ed taste for the vv atersof the living Fountain, and of the necessity of our constant and faithful exertions to keep pice with the increasing demand. With reference to this branch of our operations, the Board have the pleasure of stating, that of a supply ef lew Testaments oened the first of September h:st, there arebui on hand; the others having supplied S ibbath Schools in our vicintv and extending to the counties of Putnam and Kush. This Testament, bound especially lbschools, we have disposed of at V2h cents, and wo have confidence in the l lief that

tins fict, connected with thecheap prices ot' the Pihle, is, happily answering the charge

of sjK'cul ation, w ith w hich the advocates of

lie American Union have been greeted. I'o find the printed word of Cad, the pur

chase of w hich was once beyond the means

mo-?, reduced by the oerations of the

so u iv to niiv cents, and the .New I esta-

which we ewe to the Parent Institution. That debt at this time amounts to thiee hundred and eighteen dollars, eighty cents; to meet which, o? X is on hand arising from the sale of books, $M Si is due on credit sub s, and there remains il bibles and 83 testaments on hand, at $'118 Slj. Of the credit sales, a considerable deduc

tion mav be allowed, as many have pur

chased in that way, w ho may not le able to

liquidate the amount m time to lo ol avail ;

and the amount ot bibles and testaments on hand, leais a near proportion to the

amount heretofore generously donated to us by the Paient Society, and to which amount, it would be di sireble, our stock on hand should at all times be kept up. To meet the deficiency aiising from our donations and probable failmes in collecting, appals have been made to our fellow citizens, and we are gratified to say, that, with our necessities, the liberality and nulilic snirit of the friends of the bible

seem to enlarge. Fifty-two dollars and fifty cents have I een subscribed and mostly collected, which, in addition to the efforts yet exerted to be made, afibrds, with th' annual subscription of the memUrs of the society, the prospect of completing the payment of the demands against us. These means, with the collections, will enable us to torward one halt of the amount of our debt in a short time, and the residue, we trust, at an early day in the spring. Hut to this prospect, even of comple ting the supply of those in our vicinity, we would not look for the occasion of curtailing our usefulness, or relieving our exertions. To the friend of the bible, who feels its truths precious and its hoos beyond price, no limit can be assigned to the extension of its blessings, and humbly imploring the divine favor on the word of truth so generally circulateel here, we would

lakecourage and extend our views to the shall be auxiliary to the n

counties around us; and believing, from ty for Colonizing the tree peW our central situation, that we may be of! ,,f the United Slates "

For the punc'uality aid attention of the assessors of the taxable property, during tlie past season, in rscntaining and assisting to Furnish ihosc who were not supplied, we have much cause for acknowledgement; and to similar or other means resort will have to be made for the further attainment of the objects ef the resolution. The necessity of caily returns to keep in successful oferation, an Institution, which furnishes their publication. at the simple cosi, is so evident, that we have requested our fellow-citizens, to whom the bible h id been furnished on credit, as the time allowed should expire, to settle the amount with the collector of the revenue, who, at the instance of the Hew rd, has con-
