The Inquisition is put down , the monasteries are thrown open , the priests are salaried as servants of the public , and the liberty of the press , for both religious and political discussions , is decreed .

Diffusion of Christianity in the countries in which the Eastern languages referred to are spoken . " < c Persons from Europe , &c , of any Christian communion , whose characters and objects shall be approved of bv the conductors of the Institution , "
to be admitted as students * It is hoped that the resources of the College will allow of the gratuitous education of a certain number of Malay native youths . Dr . Milne , the coadjutor of Dr . Morrison , in the translation of the Scriptures , and translator of several works from the
Chinese , is the present President and Tutor of the College . The London Missionary Society has voted the sum of £ 500 , towards the objects strictly missionary : and many generous individuals , both in India and England , have presented considerable donations in money and books .
