The Memorialist Itas devoted the hist thirty ,e. 1 ,3 or Isis life to the stndy sod practice of political emulous), and be permitting practice io all eases to correct theol ) , he has attained the most important results for the well being of society. In consequence of the numberless benefits which the knowledge thus acquired is calculated to give to the itiliabil• ants of every country. the memorialist is desirous of making it known, in the shortest time, to those who govern the civi lised world and to the ,public. He thetefore presents me morials on the subject to the Governments of Europe and America. The memorialist is not influenced to this proceeding by partiality or prejudice fur or against any class, sect, party, or country. He views the whole human race as men created originally with the same general faculties and qualities, though varied in degree and traiurd by eircernstances, over which scuicty has now a complete control, to despise. bate, and oppose each other even to death, ultimo :zit the path is now clear, by which, with more east , society may Milli them to ~.term, to love, end to aid each other. Nor yet has the memorialist been rtetuated to the condnc which he adopts by a desire for wealth, tar popularity, f u t honours, or for future Niue; to these already appear Slier ',Untidily of infants. But he is induced to art thins, because he can show the causes which perp-tnalty generate misery 4,1 human society, and also develop the means by which, without inktry to any, those causes may be gi.vlually, and, at no very distant pe nail, effectually reinov,.l. To witness this change in putt, or, if that shill not be permitted, to know that it must soon commence and rapidly proceed, is his reward, and it is already accured to hini. . . . Under these cirrnmstan7es the memorialist claims not that kind of attention which is usually given to ordinary gnessions of policy ; but he asks for the devotion of the minds of the parties whom he addr&ses, that they may comprehend wil;• jests not vet open to common capacities, and which involve all the valuable interests of society. For a period has arrived in which a greater change inhu man affairs will be forced on the world than the world has yet witnessed ; hat in all its extent the change will be highly beneficial to every individual and to all states. . . It is a period, when the errors which have hitherto perplex ed mankind, are about to be unravelled, and, in consequence, the obstacles which stood in the way of human improvement and enjoyment will he removed. The immediate causes which make this change certain and necessary, are, the overwhelming effects of new scientiDc power, and the rapidly increasing knowledge of all elassesf men. The former will soon render human labour of little avail in the creation of wealth, while the latter will make evident to the people the absolute necessity, which has thus arisen, for them to give a different direction to their powers, and it will inform them Ono how the change is to be ef fected. -Tm ikitday.llwintansof consumption or of obtaining the neestaleirlko of UM;' by She • r ti it' t 1 its ea , hate been ac quired solely through the medium of their tabour, the value of which the nowpower has already much diminished. And the certain consequences of the undirected prof/ins of this power will be to reduce the exchangeable value of inanithl labour, until It falls "Plow the means of procuring a wretched subsistence for any tinge proportion of •the working classes, while the dsamaindur of them must be starved oat of ex istence. ' Snch Is th• natipt . 6f the contest wide!' has already con tinued feeksdate tiuts. sod which now exists in lid activity, between scientific power and manual labour, between know. ledge and ignoratiee ; but no one, who comprehends any thing of the subject, can for one moment doubt the result. Jt is presumed that the power thus addressed eminut desire en increase to the misery of tile people,while, in consequence. new danger/To every state must continually arise on eve. y side. He is now ready hi communicate the full details of these important subjects.% any or to all of the Powers whom he now addresses, that t. those details shall appear, ou exami nation, to be derived 4coni facts and experience, as lie pre sumes they will be found, the requisite measures to stop the progress of the existing distress among the working classes may be adopted by the respective Governments, before the period shall be passed, when the combined extended suffer ings and knowledge of the peoplewill permit tke requisite time for calm deliberation. The memorialist adds an Appendix, which contains some of the general results which lie has derived from long study, moltiplied.experiusents oil a large scale, and a personal coin mnnication with acute, intelligent and enlightened men of all classes, sects, and parties, more varied and confidential than has ever perhaps fallen to the lot of one And thus circumstanced, he awaits the deliberation and reply "if the Power whom lie has now adds essed. Frankfort, 20th Sept. 1818. . APPENDIX. _ _ - Containing some of the general results derived from the Memorial ist's long study and experience. First Genera Result.—'l'hat the period is arrived when the means are become tabviocrs, by which; witheut force or fraud of any kind, riches may be emoted in such abundance and so advantageously for all, that the wants and desins of every human being may be over satisfied. In consequence, the dominion of wealth and the evils arising from the desire to acquire and accumulate riches, are on the point of terminating. Second General Result.—That the period is arrived, when the prin ciples of the science are become obvious, by which, wipeout force or punishment of any kind, the rising gem mtion may be, with ease anti advantage to all, surrounded by citcumstances, which shall form them into any character that society may predetermine; and if any defeat shall afterwards appear in those characters, except what nature has made uncontrollable by human means, the cause will not be in the individuals, but it will be solely owing to the inexperience of the parties who attempt to put those invaluable principle. into practice. In consequence, the dominion of ignorance, of fraud, and of violence, is also on the point of terminating. ,Third General R•!sult.—That it is the intetest, and that it will soon appear to be the interest of each individual, in every rank, in all countries, that judicious treasures should be adopted, with the least, delay. to secure the beneficial results in practice. It is, however, greatly to be desired, that they should he carried into effect, by general consent, gradually and temperately, in order that no party or individual may be injtued by the changes which must ncxessariiy arise. In consequence, any at'empr to stop or retard the introduction of these measures will be unavailing. Already the principles and con segue. it. practice ate placed effectually beyond the power of human assault. It will be found, that silence cannot now retard their pro gress, cad that opposition will give increased celerity to their move ments. OCT 10 P.IRLIAMENTARY PAPER.

A rumour is in circulation that a system of espionage is among the views of the new Ministers, with its usual appen .ilages of opening letters, &c. Some cnrions articles are presented to ns by the American papers respecting the Bank of the United States. That ex lensive•establishment is of recent date. A capital of several millions of dollars was subscribed to it. Blanches from the parent bank were fixed in theqirincipal towns throughout the Union, it being understood that the notes of each of these were to be of equal credit every where, and to be convertible Mato rash, when tendered to the Central Bank. From some causes not detailed, It would appear, that the system has not very eminently prospered. A circular letter from the cashier of the New York branch has been published, declining to *receive any notet: either of the principal bank, or any of its 'branches, except the same shall he made specially payable at 'the New York office. The jashrwaullaguieire sitsespohat thi Mother bank has refused the notes of its own bidinehes, ex- 'I 'eept in payment of debts due to the Government. 110-sblsor Es it not,•etptivalent toe declaration of banitrapaer? , We have also received papers to the Bth tilt.—tly au article *tn New Orleans it appears, that the Goveroaorf Cuba hod 'dispatched a Spanish frigate, of 38 guns, and two other smaller vessels, for .the purpose of capturing Commodore Amp; squadron : that an action took place near the Spanish Main; and that the 'latter, not being able to effect an escape, resolved on boarding the frigate, which be carried, but was 'so dreadfully woonded in the action, that he died a few days afterwards. It was stated that the frigate. was cruising off 4Certhagena under the Insurgent flag. Admiral Brian's sgoa dron the beginning of August, cruising off Cape St. 411.ntonio. According to an article from St. Thomas's, he had 'ordered two English officers to be shot, during his last visit So the Oroonoko. This statement, we trust, will prove to be Jas incorrect as another assertion in the same article, relative /o the arrival of Sir Gregor M'Gregor in that river, witb 600 English recruits. The noted pirate Mitchell had left his old station oft the mouths of the Mississippi, and was understood to be ciLis,ng •off the Bahamas. Thcrentoured retreat of King Christophe from the vicinity witPort.an.Prince is confirmed. The - Spanish Minister at Washington had, in consequence .of instructions from his Court, made a tnrmal demand of the restitution of those parts of both the Floridas iu the occupa %ion of the American troops. Thedetails of the trial of Messrs. Arbuthnot aril Ambristie are cot expected to be made public, until they shall have 'been laid before Congress. ... 0.000 0 0 ... 4,00 0 0 MINT.
