The following articles are respectfully solicited from Manufacturers and others.

Printing paper, to be used in publishing portions of the Scriptures, school books, tracts, &c. at Bombay, and at the Sandwich Islands.

Writing paper, writing books, blank books, quills, slates, &c. for all the missions and mission schools: especially for the Sandwich Islands.

Shoes of a good quality, of all sizes, for persons of both sexes; principally for the Indian missions. Blankets, coverlets, sheets, &c.

Fulled cloth, and domestic cottons of all kinds.

It frequently happens that boxes of clothing, &c. are left at the Missionary Rooms unaccompanied by a letter, or any thing to designate the places from which they are sent. It is therefore recommended to donors, who send boxes, bundles, &c. in all cases to mark upon them the town and state from which they come; as, for instance, "from Concord, N. H." Boxes, &c. intended for particular individuals, or stations, should be directed accordingly.

Armenia.

COMMUNICATION FROM MESSRS. SMITH AND
DWIGHT, DATED TEBREEZ, IN PERSIA,
JAN. 26, 1831.

[Continued from p. 15.]

THE preceding extracts from this communication describe the circumstances connected with the origin of the German mission to the Armenians in Georgia, the religious influence exerted by that mission upon two Armenian deacons, and the visit of one of the missionaries to the great convent at Etchmiazin.

Persecution of the two Deacons.

till claimed by the police. Another was sent, and received the same answer. Then came a sergeant of police, with a positive order for their apprehension. He likewise was sent away without them, and one of the brethren went immediately to lay the case before the governor. His decision was, that they should remain as they were until he heard himself from the catholicos. Not many days after, two letters arrived from the catholicos, addressed, not to the governor, but to the bishop, ordering the latter to send the deacons, and saying that if the governor refused to give them up, the governor general at Tiflis, who had already been written to on the subject, would see to it. He also promised to send an agent (wakeel) to Shousha to examine into the proceedings of the missionaries. The governor now concluded to send them to the governor general; which he did, in company with two cossacks. We met them on the road, two stages from Shousha. Mr. Zaremba accompanied them, in order to make a full statement of the case to the governor general. He found that his excellency had heard not a word on the subject, either from the catholicos, or any one else. After hearting the case, and reading a written statement of the proceedings of the missionaries, presented by Mr. Zaremba, the governor general said; "The deacons are ecclesiastical men, they have committed an ecclesiastical offence, and must be judged by an ecclesiastical tribunal. But how is it that you, Germans, are interfering with the Arinenians? Remain Germans yourselves, and let them remain Armenians." He is a plain man, and expressed his sentiments, as an executor of Russian laws, in plain language. But he was in reality, as the missionaries have uniformly found the Russian officers of the provinces, very civil and friendly. He finally concluded that he was not the man to decide their case, and that it must go before the emperor. In the mean time he would send the deacons to Etchmiazin, under the civil protection of the governor of Erivan. They accordingly wrote a petition to the emperor, which, together with Mr.

About a month before we reached Shousha, an Armenian arrived there from Bakou, who, through the instructions of the missionaries in their visits to that place, had become thoroughly evangelical in his views, and even gave pleasing evidence of piety. His zeal soon carried him into the bazar to converse with his countrymen. Much attention was excited, and, although his manner was adapted to gain access to the heart, and his conversation turned chiefly upon the great doctrines of redemption, he was generally opposed, only some half a dozen young men declaring in favor of his views. Yet the storm burst not upon him, but upon the deacons. On a subsequent Sabbath, a letter from the bishop was read in one of the churches of the following tenor: "I have received an order from the catholicos to send the two deacons to Etchmiazin, wherefore bind them immediately and send them to me." The letter contained no reference to the civil authorities, and the people were ready to execute the orders of their bishop on the spot, with the same reckless, independent spirit. In fact, very early next morning, a clerk of the church came to demand the deacons at the mission house. He was told that they would not be given up VOL. XXVIII.
