The idea of classing the several intellectual fa culties under certaiu prominences of brain, and assigning different seats to the animal capacity, is not, as may be supposed, • novel one, which is ex clusively to be attributed to Doctor Gall. The origin of this system is to be found in the opinions of Albert-le-Grand, of Ludovico Dulci, cit Van Swicten, and even of Bonnet, who supposed each fibre of the brain allotted to a particular function. But it would be unjust to dispute the claim of the celebrated man whose work we announce, to the extensive acquirements which have enabled him to treat profoundly what others have only slightly sketched. He has developed circumstances of the deepest interest, and shed • bright ray of light upon subjects, of which we have hitherto only hail a glimpse through the abstractions of metaphysics, and the uncertainties of physiology. He proposes to establish in volumes, which shall be published in succession, four thesis, which, be. rug intimately connected, form a must complete treatise on the mural qualities and intellectual fa culties. The first of these bold thesis is, that moral qualities and intellectual faculties are innate; the second, that their exercise or mandestatiou depend on the organizstion ; the third, that the brain is the organ of all propensities, all sentiments, and all faculties; the fourth, tends lastly to prove that the brain is composed of us unity distinct organs as there are propensities, sewitnentr, and faculties, which differ essentially from each other. These propositions, without doubt, could only flow from • mind which had mastered its subject, and which was capable of considering it under every point of view. But we regret to say, this edifice, which boasts so much regularity, this ad mirable temple, which seems dedicated to truth, frequently exhibits the worship of error, and the chimera. of falsehood. The reader, who is seduced by the inscriptions on the front, Soda in the recesses of the sanctuary hideous fatality and gross mate rialism. These, we admit, ire serions charge*, and we must justify them. The first fault which Dr. Gall commit. is in placing on the same line both men and animals, to whom he attributes innate disposi tions ; for the Doctor does not dare to say instate ideus, lest he should fall in with Plato, Malle branche, and Descartes. To a certain length, it is true, 'animals may be compared with men with respect to organization purely material, rod in stinct with which they are more or less endowed ; but to attribute innate faculties to men and brutes without distinction, and to institute a systematic comparison between them, is attempting to dike the celestial stamp which God has impressed upon the brow of man, to indicate his origin and gua rantee hi* immortality. In this mortifying system, Doctor Gall, moreover, only retreat* what has been advanced by many writers on ma terialism. According to Vicq-d'Azyrn and several Professors, the difference between the intellectual faculties of a man and an ape is explainetl by the difference of their hands. Rut nobody before Dr. Gall, ever attributed innate faculties, without dis tinction, to men and beasts. In troth, by innate faculties or dispositions, lw does sot mean those mysterious presentiments which place our soul in reatiou with the Divinity, from which it emanates, and those sublime emotions whoa make it exult at the right of all that remindo it of • olivine abode, of which it seems to have preserved a confined recollection. In his creed, inunter dispositions (and he is Out willing to recognise others) are only the aptitudes, instinct', provemetire, and, in general, all the moral qualities and all the ha n d s w ith which animals are endowed at their birth, until each organ of the brain being impressed with it set tled tendency, the result is as impulse which no thing can change or modify: To demonstrate that animals have innate dispositions. the Doctor asks— ", Who has instructed ducks and beetles to coun terfeit being dead when menaced by an enemy ? Who has taught the spider. which having scarcely left the egg, weaves a. net ancl envelops the captive Airs that they may not be drip? Wliydo aut. male things which they have nevos seen done 2"— We will puzzle the Doctor, in our into, 17 asking him, why has mail. who by the sim plicity of his physical organization is subjected to few wants, such vast desires, which nothilig in this world ever satisfies ? Why does he seek glory at the expeose of happiness, sod why will he he proud to die for duty and for virtue's sake? Who can make him wish to survive himself? Why in his misfortunes does he raise his supplicat ing hands to a consoling God ? These may with more certainty be called innate dispositious, because nothing nn earth will reveal the secret, which is kept in heaven. What M. Gall styles innate facul ties is, properly speaking, merely an instinct appro. prated to a life of • purely animal nature. Brutes receive those faculties, which form • part or their mechanist*, as they do body and sense. This dif ference between animals, whose instinctive faculties turn to the satisfying of their wants, and the inutile notions of man, which, far from being auxiliary to • mere terrestrial life, on the costumer make him often despise it, and which sometimes conspire against it, is the devotion of magnanimous beings and .the noble works of genius, so inconsistent with a due-economy of the human body, testify—this difference ; we say, sufficiently proves into what ettoethey fall who do not assign to man • privileged place and a claim to another future. Innate dialect. sitteitir, such, as they are supposed by Doctor Gull, not only degrade human 'mime, by placiug it on a level with brutes, but they also destroy free will, and make men a miserable herd, led by a blind fatality. • He declares that education can neither destroy or give growth to any innate faculty. He quotes the melancholy example of Nero, whose celebrated instructors could not soften his hardness of heart. But might not the avowal of Socrates be opposed to this, who acknowledged that he felt in himself an inclination to every vice ? It is upon the earth, it is in the course of life, that evil is engendered. All men at their birth are endowed with the same aptitude for what is good; but a thousand and • thousand circuinstences occur which modify in an infinite degree existences, which would have been similar if there were identity of organization, of regulation, of habits, and of fie casions. This thesis, which ought to be gravely developed, would be of too great length for our limits. We shall here conclude the ;present article, and await the remainder of M. Gall's work. with a view to examine it under the head of die Physio logical System.—( /french Paper.) f.#~/ ~. PERSIA. We cannot, perhaps, render • more important service to the commercial interest. than by calling public attention to the situation of Russia, Eng laud, and India, relatively to Persia ; especially as it is a subject which at this time demssids. mid we hope has, the serious consideration of Government. To bring it more familiarly to notice, • few intro ductory details are necessary. During the Marquis Wellesley's administration in India, Persia was an object of his particular no tice. After 'he fall of Seringapatam, in 1799, the first mission from any European liaison to the Per sian Court was under General, now Sir John Mal colm, who concluded • treaty or amity with that Power, by which she engaged to send 20,000 men against the Hatton', should those tribes attack the Company's territory. The Ambassador who was afterwards sent by Persia to ratify the treaty, was unfortunately killed, with seven of his suite, in an accidental affray at Bombay. In 1807. Bonaparte dispatched a mission under General Ganline to the Persian Court, and another to Cabot, in Upper In dia. These missions were viewed with so much jea lousy by the Supreme Government, that in 1808 Mr. Elphinstone, the present Governor of Bom bay, went on an embassy to Cubit!, and succeeded in removing the French mission there; at the same time General Malcolm was sent un • similar errand to Persia ; but being insulted at Abushire by an Arab Chief, the Persian Governor or that place, he returned to Calcutta. In 1809 the English destined an expedition 06 ten thousand troops from Bombay against Persia, which placed itself in a posture of defence, ■nd built forts on the coati of Abushire ; but such was die dread of this intended expedition. that the Persians revolved on sending a plenipotentiary to India with an offer to expel the French mission from Teheran. ■nd to subsidize ■ny number of British troops that could be spored to expel the Franco-Russian attack on the northern frontiers of Persia. At this critical moment, Sir Ilarford Jones arrived on an ill-timed embasssy from Eugland. quite independent of any control, and without even the privity of the Go vernment of India. The proposals he wa, in. structed to offer to Persia rendered the intruded expedition ling dory, and prevented the departure of the plenipotentiary from Teheran. Sir 1-larford Jones concluded • treaty by which he engaged the East India Company to pay to Persia a subsidy of 200,000 tomato per annum ; and she was also to receive. without any expense to her, as many Bri tish ofl►cers n od noti-cominiasioned officers as she knight require ro disciPline her native troops in the northern province. Mirza Abul Hassan Khan, on ' the part 1.4 Persia, and James Wrier, Esq. on the putt of the British Minister, proceeded to E:nis, sod obtained a ratification of this treaty. In General Malcolm again proceeded to Teheran tan the invitatton of the Shah, who desired to show Istus kindness for the treatment hr had received at Aims shire in 1808 ; but differences arising between lb* General and Sir Ilitrford Jones, the farmer was speedily ordered back to India, and the latter recalled to Eirglaird. In May of the gadieltear. Sir Gore Onslry felt England as Asubobseik Extraordinary mid Minister . Plenipotentiary' to the Persian Court, with a detachment of artil lery aud notiat onsmissioned officers under Major. now Lientenant.Colossel D'Arey and Major Stone; the latter died in a few months after 10 ordeal. France mid Russia were then iu allimmesq and Pared' was at war with Russia, is conailimmeit. of her encioachasents upon the Persian territoay bet yond the confines of Georg* of which province Russia had possessed herself several years before. France, by General Cuddle's treaty, had engaged to assist the Persiaus with troops to recover Georgia from the Russian. ; but this was not attempted, in efittsrqueeice of the subsequent alliance between the Emperor Alexander and Napoleon. On the arrival of Sir Gore Ousley iu 1811, the troops of Abbas Mirza, w the marsh of Persia, were in • bad state of discipline and wretchedly organized. They con sisted of about six battalions, some acting under Persian words of command, others under French, English, and Russian. They had only 13 pieces of field-artillery. and were without wood in the arsenal, or stores in the magazine. One of Sir Gore Ous ley's primary objects appears to have been to effect an alteration in the existing treaty, whereby the ex pense to the East India Company might be materi• ally reduced. He, therefore, proposed that the British officers and non-commissioned officers in the service of Persia, who were to obtain one step of local btevet tank, should receive extra pay from Persia according to that rank, out of the subsidy granted by Ragland, which was promised to be continued so long as the Rossini.. retained the Per sian territories of Latikaroon and Karrabaugh. The Persians, however, refused to secede to this propo sition, until after the affair of Sultemboud in 1812, when the Prince Royal's army attacked the Rus sians, and obtained a complete victory. The Shah and Prince Royal ascribed the success to their having been led on by their English friends, and then signed the new treaty proposed by Sir Gore Ousley. The Persians, headed by English offi cers, were equally successful on the south-west chores of the Caspian Sea. They expelled the Russians from their 'lost* at Taulish and Lanka moon; but Lieut.-Colonel D'Arcy, the English Commonder, was compelled to withdraw his party, in consequence of the arrival of two Turkish armed vessels bearing • Bag of truce. with the Loam Glsasede, ntenostoeing the pretionitossios of pow between Great Britain and 111/14114 Soon after. wards Persia lust the advantages she had obtained ; and, in 1813, by the mediation of the British Minister at her Court, she acceded to terms of peace. by which she not only ceded to Russia the province of Taulish, as far as Austria, but re . maimed all claim to Georgia and Mosigrelia, as well as the right of navigating the Caspian Sea by armed vessels of any description. Though she still holds the port of Redd on that sea, she is restrained from even building a boat, notwithstanding there is a remarkably tine forest of timber in the province. Subsequesitly. the Russians conquered the entire province of Doghistan from the native tribes. In consequence of this treaty, Sir Gore Ousley, in May, 1814, proceeded to St. Petersburgh, lea,- lug Mr. Matter in charge at Teheran. He was shortly joined by Mr. Ellis, with instructions to cut off the subsidy, and every other expense at tached to England. This measure, iff's:cied against Sir Gore Ousley's assurance to the con trary, was the principal feature of Alliza Abut H•41:111 Khan's second embassy to England in 1819, when it was arranged by die late British Minister for Foreign Affairs, that 100.000 toinsns, or six months' arrrar of subsidy, should he forth with paid by the Government of India to Persia.— As a measure of economy. hilt in violation of the third article of the Persian treaty with England, Messrs. Moder and Ellis ordered all the British officers and non-commissioned officers to depart from Persia by the t,t of January following, not withstanding they were entitled to par, whether they remained in Persia, or were in England or India. The Prince Royal remonstrated and pro tested against the measure widintit avail; but this mistaken economy being pessi•ted 1 , 1, the Prince resolved on procuring French officers to replace his English friends—a purpose that lie abandoned solely on condition that Lientenant . Colonel D'Arcy would take a certain num. her of Persian youths from Tabriz to Eng land under his i tttttt ethate chair, fur the pur pose of receiving liberal and scientific instruction. The Prince applied to the British Minister at Te heran to sanctum his wishes, which were so far ac quiesced in, that Lieutenant-Colonel D'ART had no alternative but to proceed with his charge, or take up ou himself the responsibility of ',edibility offending she P t by a direct refusal. They accordingly proceeded to England lay way of Rus sia, tt subject to the ulterior wishes of his Majes ty's Governuient." The British officer intrusted with these youths had funds placed m his hands by the Prince Royal to pay the expenses of their jam my. and a regulated allowance during one year's residence in England ; which, in the vvetit of sit objection by the British Government, was to be applied in defrejitig the charges of re-conducting them to the Persian Ambassador at St. Peters burgh. In the preceding year the Persian artillery, arse nal, army, &e. were placed under the direction of the British officer in command, to whom was also committed the organization of the Persian army, the superintendence of their Indies, the direction of their frontier defences, and the regulation of their agriculture, trade, and mannfactores. At the departure of our officers from Tubs_, the Pitece ..After the departure of Sir Gore . otudey oar isf . ' fairs at the Persian Court gradually assumed an other aspect. When Mr. Monier and Mr. Ellie quitted Teheran, Lieut. Henry Witlock, of the Madras cavalry, who had acted in the subordiuste rank of Aide-de-Camp to Sir Ilarford Jotter, was left in the important situation of British Charge d'Affaires; and from that moment our interests declined before other influence. Russia seems to meditate at some period or other the annexation Qf Persia to her already enormous territory ; and front enjoying the free navigation of the Caspian See, she has at present the power of annoying our Lidttro possessions when she pleases. She not only dili gently cultivates commercialadvantages with Persia, but with various tribes in ilarkistan. In 1820, a Russian mission, splendidly fitted our, and attend:, ed with a considerable military guard, proceeded to Hurratt, Bokarrah, and such other places •as were fend most advisable for opening a new trade for Russian manufactures, and fur procuring a. direct supply of Cashmere shawls fur the Rossini) market. These ire obtained, even by the Per e Mans, through the India market only. Latterly the British Government appears to have considered Persia of little importance to this court. , try, and the Russians readily stepped into marl shoes. In 1817, General Yermaloff having been. appointed Governor of Georgia, he occupied that territory with 50.000 chosen Russian troops, per sonally surveyed its military posts, and entered Persia in the character of Ambassador Extrsordi., nary from the Court of St. Petersburg!), with a suite composed of the flower of the Russian Nobi lity : this embassy was dignified in the eyes of Persia by extraordinary magnificence and irplendoqr. Yermaloff concluded a treaty of alliance and com merce between the two Powers, and at his depere tare left Colonel Mazzaravich as Rossian Charge d'Affaires. This officer, with qoaltfications fully ; adequate to such an important statioe, takes every r .pO•rtvnity of cultivating the pod wilt and esteem_ of the Persians. His applications to the Persian . Courts are uniformly successful, for he spares neither pains nor expense to couciliate their friends' . ship. The 50,000 Russian troops i n Georgi e in 1917 were increased in iaeo to 100,000, and in the present year there are 130,000; although during the war between Russia used Persia, the number rarely, if ever, exceeded 30,000. This military aspect may account fur a current anecdote, that at an entertainment given by Colonel Mazzamvich,. he observed, " that the Persians roust submit to the dictation of Russia with respect to a successor to the Throne on the death of Eolith Ally, the pre sent Shah." He keeps an open table fur the Per man nobility, and his general style of living is worthy the representative of a great nation. England, to compete with this man, has been represented by an individual whose subaltern rank in the army rendered him, in the first instarice, of little cou oequence in the eyes of the Postern; while his in ferior style of living, his opposition to the *she!. of the Prince Royal, and his general demeunour • made him personally obnoxious, and occasioned comparisons to the disadvantage of himself and the British interests. At length serious differences arose from the non-parmeut of the 100,000 iornuspo,. which was to have been settled by the East India Company for arrears of subsidy due to the Shsh. The delay in fulfilling this engagement was at tributed by the Court of Persia to Mr. Willock the money had been given up by the Shah to the Prime Royal ; and to appease his Royal Highness Mr. Willock had on one occasion ad vanced ten thousand tumans on account of it. The Prince named a second order upon .Jr. 11%Ilock for two thousand walrus, which he declined paying; and when pressed upon the sub ject by the Kayem Makons, or Chief Minister, wl o had been tutor to the Prince Royal, Mr. Willock gave great offeuce by charging the Prince and this Miiiister with a breeds or faith ill entering the Turkish territories contrary to their promise to fem. and he assigned this as an additional reason fur not advancing more money. The Prince and it-c Kayem Makutn denied the charge; and the Shah's Mummers intimated, that any complaint upon tie subject cause with an ill grace from Mr. Willotk, who had never interposed amidst all the insults Pe-- sill had received from the 'Turkish Commanders in Azzorrouu.
