N0..9, New Bridge-stret, London. HONOURED IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of -the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and 'twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the mast inveterate nature. In tbc spring of last year my - disorder had got to such a head, as nearly tol3rit a period to my ex istence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head , one on each arm, and my legs were broke Out in a frightful wanner; my right was dreadfully -painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest; io this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. .1. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which- I began to do on the 2Gth 0. May; in the coarse of'a fortnight I began to receive benefit -in little more than a month t be ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed — soon after, the sores OM my legs healed also ; leaving, how ever, considerabladiscolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blcs;:ing, of God, awl a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, , and the nocturnal pains gradually going olf.—l thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free front all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of c,ll who knew me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, lint beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public asyossible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing-yon will greatly oblige, Sir s your grateful, obedient , very humble servant, ALEX.

In the course of his lively narrative, Captain Korzesue details many particulars respecting the social condition ut the Persians, which had either escaped the.tiotice of former travellers, or had been' 'dismissed by them as not of sufficient importance to merit attention. It but too tierpiently happens that such particulars, though they COHSlhute the principal charm in works ottbis kind, are omitted, from an erroneous notion of their insignificance. Many things which strong!Tattract the attention of a stranger at hisfirst entrance into a foreign country, soon become familiar by their daily re currence ; and he is but too apt to exclude ail Mention of them in his recital, as mere matters of course, which, as they have ceased to interest him, will be regarded with indifference by otheri. T 0 avoid this error the present writer has wisely adopted the plan of a Journal, to which he seems to have committed every remarkable incident, or change of scene at the instant when it presented itself;. and by thus commemorating his first im pressions he has not o,ply enriched his portraiture by a multitude of fresh object**, but 'hart - placed others, which were already known, in a new and more strltiOg point of view. From a work so replete with anecdote and de scription, it would not be difficult to select a va riety of entertaining passages which would not safer by being. given in a detached form. For the present, however, we shall content ourselves with single extract ; and, as our 'Fair 'ReaderS, no dol4,bt, feel much interest respecting the beautiful Stranger who races the suite of his Excellency; AaUL HASSAN KHAN, and maybe curious to know something of her general mode of life, we shall offer to theM the following particulars relative to the Ladies of Persia. On perusing them they will find additional re .son for congratulating thetn selves on being natives of England : " The costume of women (some of whom we saw during our journey, notwithstanding the stern Asiatic jealousy with which they are watched) is very ugly: they wear pantaloons of enormous width, hanging down to their heels, and i short dress, reaching to the krie: ; their whole figure is shrouded in a black veil, :Ltd their faces are thickly bedaubed with paint, The higher classes wear stuffs and shawls, and the rest calicoes. " The whole arf and endeavour of a Persian woman is directed to-the single object of 'pleasing' her lord ; aird as some fifty or sixty women have Ti) contend for that honour at once, it is not dif ficult to guess what a theatre of intrigue a seraglio must he. Although a harem may be styled a terra incognita, since no mortal can know what is going on there, and the woman who has once passed its threshold has renounced the world for ever, yet opportunities now and then occur of heating somet;ling about its unhappy inmates. ,In the ,First place, the seraglios are built in such a manner, that it is impossible to peep into them from any elevated situation. even at a distance. The principal entrance is guarded by women, and the attendance is otherwise performed by females. The poor women, Who bate each other mortally, are lodged so closely to each other, that not one of them can utter a word withont its being heard; and those who mieht hope to eileviate their grief by mutually cOnfidiog their woes to each other, would certainly be overheard by their ever-listen ing neighbours, and by-them betrayed to their master. If, to divert thealallness of solitude, a woman should chance to sing, sh'e is laughed at by the others. The woman who bears a son unto her lord; receives the honourable appellation• of wife .; and,, presuming not a little upon that dis tinction, she strives to place herself abort; the others, who spurn her assumed superiority, and claim redress from their lord, by pleadifig greater youtfii or more beauty. In short, these poor creatures pass the whole day at iheir toilet, each sighing and hoping that in the evening she May be the selected- object of attention. The follow. ing particulars, relating to the domestic economy of the harems, have been derived from respectable sources : A Persian is boomd by religion and.ctia tom, not only to maintain and clothe his Women in the best manner, but also to allow them con siderable pin-money: There are women who deny themselves many-little comforts, and save their allowances, of which they afterwards secretly convey the amount by some eunuch to their lord, and such are then certain of being selected. Thus the men sell themselves to their own women. It may easily be conceived what sort of 'Morality reigns in these harems. Udfortuuately children remain there with their mothers owll they are - eight or ten years of age. ‘Vitt do they pat see and hear there ? They are also not unfrequrn'ly employed to draw, by innocent solicitations, their father's attention to their mother. ,Whether it be possible or not to manage an intrigue its a harem,. is a point which I .will not undertake to decide ; but I heard that there have been instances of pith things, and I even saw. paintings representing something of that kind. When through. wars, or other causes, the men are compelled to absent themselves, it is scarcely possible that the harems should enjoy a quiet interregnum : it then be comes feasible to bribe the eunnch ; and it is said, in particular, that blind men, cut a figure in these ;intrigues. Unaware of the places 'o which they are led, they are kept in cellars until opportuni ties offer to convey them away. With the con sent of the eunuch these matters must be easy to arrange. The.women are particularly solicitous about the health of their lord, for when be dire they are shut up during The remainder of their lives. A child who hits lived until. its tenth year r io a harem, witnessing, ifs mother's conduct., can not remain attached to its parents, since its af fection has not been cemented by respect. A boy on leaving the harem enters the world, and after wards seeks every 'opportunity to seduce his fa. ther's women, in which he is not unfrerwently as sisted by his mother. There are instances of this, and children are - on that account forbidden - to sec their mothers. But enough of these enormities, which I should perhaps have allowed to remain untold ;on perusing the-m, however„ the reader may join with me in thanking Providence for hav ing been born in a country where the dignity of woman is respected" SCOTLAND GFNERriL , .
