G - Extract of a Letter from Mr. Gibbon, the Historian, to Mr. Nichols, dated Lausanne, Feb. 24, 1792.

We lament, however, that we are in possession of so few particulars of his early years, or his sub sequent • progress through life. Seine years since, he went to India, - and accompanied Lord Tinto in the Java, expedition, assisting hip in arrangements, and acting as interpreter. During this time his con stitution wore away by a disease which wooed it to dissolution. A heavy: march, exposed to damps, and nighi dews, brought a -fever to' aid the other wastes Of his frame. The complication of ills ulti mately conquered him; he sunk under the formidable union, in the very flush ancl vigour of life, otl the 27tfi of August, at Fort Cornelis, - This amiable man . struggled into ,eminence from a very humble birth,:allying himself, as he pas,ed along, in friendship with a:any of the first charac ter's in- Scotland, of which country he was a. na tive. He was etensively acqu3inted with the an cient and modern languages, perfectly intimate with the' literature of pat 'ages and the presenr time; and .these high endowments were illamined by a strong. natural genius for poetry. These qualifi cations . grappled the friendship of good men ,to his soul; and he secured them by his modesty ithLr virtue.' • El i A.)„ \ EAR'S GIFTS of TWENTY THOUSAND tUNDS PRIZES IN THE MATCHLESS STATE , `r-TERY of only t ,000 TI CK ETS, all to be Drawn TUESDAY, ztst THIS MONTH., BISH, (Contraaor) gratefully happy in an _ kk i . 6 flouncing the numerous Capital Prizes which he has te r ,,, 'n the last three or four Months, solicits the Public at t q „,on to the present Lottery, and sincerely nopes to be fortunate in disposing of Capitals to those who now ti,:T } Ar hint with_tliiir commands.

Your Oil being in high estimation an this place, induced me to try it, and in a snort time my hair was wo{idertully recoverelt, and I have the pleasure :o assert, the Oil contains those virtues yOu express in your- Bills and Essay : in short my hair never was so can't°, table, is tree from dandrilf, feels ex treinely. pleasant, possesses a strong curl, and is extremely thick. . 1 shall make it my study to recommend it, and you have my free will to - publish this note,' Your obedient humble servant, . • CHAS. EDII. COLMAN, • Canterbury, Kent. .To Messrs. A. Rnwland.an4 $9ll, Icirby..stiect, • klatten-Qalden,. London, • Lord Minto took him to India in 1802, where he acquired almost immediately the mastery of the po. pular eastern languages. SO miraculous seemed this celerity of acquisition to his Noble Patron, that he' observed, on a public occasion, t‘ the-rapid -attain ments of Lev:len appeared more like the gift of hea ven in languages; ;than the ordinary stroggles of mart!'" There is - perhaps no individual .now alive possessing the likeribilities, joined to the tiepth of research among the sacred books, and pop ulat wadi_ tions of the Bramit-is; This knowledge, .we regret to say, has all perished with him. No society ever robbed him of his native Scottish bluntness and-sincerity. His simplicity and purity, and fit to independence of heart accompanied Mtn to'the lest. It rmry be truly observed of him, what. Buinsjustly i;aid of himself, suclt WS Leyden, that "; the sterlingot his honest worth poverty could not debaSe, and his independent British spirit oppression might bend, but could not subdue." Tedhe eminent poet Walter Scott Leyden was well known, and the Doctor assisted him in his fist popular Work,. " The Minstrelsy of .the Scottish Border." The ballad of the " Mermaid," and the "Ode'tb Flod_ten," . would 'adorn' any collection.— So favoutable was Seott's °pita* of the pectic ge nius of Leyden, that the motto to ".Marmion" was taken Iron - roue ofhis odes and he has quoted hire , frequently :as a poet of no common note. The " Scenes of Itifatky": was the greatest of this amiable poet's efforts, and in whiclv hisoat oral good ness of heari appears eminently ..cons iv cuous., - Into description he has transmitted his o,%ri soul, and lays happy hold on that of his readers. Though possessed of a vigorous mind, and a strong ^ nation, neither. overflowed the _channel of strictly . chaste composition. Though eminently qua;ifit , d for writing, so discreet a us' did he make of it, that he nevur loSt a friend, nor created an enemy, by its indulgence. He knew . how to lash th e t a il ings of the present age, without becoming Personal. So puri.twa:t his mind that we are , not afraid o f being censured, When we say he never wrote a hoe but what might s:.-.rye: for a motto to the Temple of Diana. Sul;h was. the poet whose .cuss we . lament.
