HONOURED SIR, y BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the -jIL year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Verierea), which, from its obstinately resiiting every courie of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the factilty.here, 'and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis *barged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In tl:e spring of last year asy aisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l - had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e on each arm, and me legs were broke ont in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had men in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very notch discoloured , and g ave me such excruciating pain, particularly when war m in bed, as n early to deprive me of rest ; its this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J.

MEXICAN LOAN• The terms of the contract for this Loan were made public yesterday in the usual manner. It has been con cluded between Don Francisco and di Borja Migoiii, as agent agent. of the Government of Mexico, and the house of Messrs. B, A. Goldschmidt and Co. ; and its amount in steel: is 3,200,0001. The contract is founded on a decree of the Government of Mexico, dated the Ist of May, 1823, under which the necessary powers for completing the contract have been transmitted to the agent here. These powers, together with the general bond, pledging the Government of Mexico for the amount of the loan, are to be deposited in the Bank of England. Special bonds will be issued in the following proportions, viz.— 2,000 . . £560 each . . £1.000,000 4,000 • . 250 . . . 1,000,000 12,000 • . 100 . . . 1,200,001) X3,280;000 bearing interest at 5 per cent., payable by the contractors half yearly in London without deduction, the first payment to take place on the Ist of April next. The Stock is issued to the Subscribers at 58 per cent., pay able in the following manner :- 10 per cent. • • • . 29th January -10 . • • . • 28th February 10 . • • . . 9th April 14 • • • . . . 19th May 14 . . • . . . 2 31st June 53 Discount at 4 per cent. to he allowed on anticipated intal ments, and to be charged on the two instalments which take place after the Llth of April at the same rate. A condition is introduced into the general bond, that in the event of any future loan or loans being rais:d for the service of the Government ofillexico, one-fourth part of the amount shall be applied to the redemption of the present loan, and that no other loan shall be negociated in Europe within 12 months from this date. The whole of the revenues of Mexico are pledged as security for this loan, and a sinking fund for its redemption is to be created, to which the sum of 64,0001. is to be applied in the first year, and 32,0001 in each succeeding year. The dividends accruing on the bonds redeemed to be applied to. the augmen tation of the sinking fund. On the circulation of the above information, the scrip of this loan bore a premium of 31 per cent. The important question for all the nations of the earth to consider is, whether this be a truth or a falsehood ; and if they shall discover it to be' a truth capable of the cleareat demon stration, then the inquiry necessarily follows, how much of their religion is in accordance with it, and how much is repugnant to it. For, as every single truth must be consistent with every other, that which is opposedto this truth, in any of the religions of the world, cannot be true, and must have proceeded from ignorant men ; while that which is in unison with it, can alone be true, and must have been derived from the . Origin of all truth. Here, then, we have a sure test, by which truth and false hood respecting religion, the nature of man and human society, may- be for ever separated. Here is a principle, on which the well-being and happiness of society may be permanently esta. blished, and which, as soon as it shall be understood by man kind, will open a 'direct road to a state of human existence, that shall in all iespects equal the promised Scriptural Millenium. Of those who are interested in supporting real Christianity, I ask, is it contrary to Christianity to admit, that the infant at birth is the sole work of his creator ? Isit contrary to Christi anity to .admit that the infant has no merit or demerit for the good or bad qualities which his Creator has given to him at birth?. If all infants partake of the general qualities, of human nature, at birth, and yet no two are born with precisely the same combination of these qualities, is it contrary to Chris tianity toadmit that the difference of natural or original charac ter between any two infants, cannot be attributed to themselves, but to their Creator ? Is it contrary to Christianity to admit that the infant, has no will or Power to decide where he shall be born, - Or in What re ligion,habits an d m anners he shall be trained ? Is it contrary to Christiani t y to admit that the language, the habits, the sen tinrents, the religion and conduct of all human beings are essen tially determined by the country and the general arid. particu ha circumstances in which they are born and remain ? Is it oto Christianity to admit that these 'circumstances, opea rating on the o r iginal character, or the peculiar combination of faculties and qualities iven to each infant at birth by his Creator, d o f orm the contnually changing character of every human being from birth to death ? If circumstances do very essentially tend to form the human character and conduct, and these circumstances are under the controul of society, is it contrary to Christianity to recommend to all nations and all individual, As the highest act of wisdom which they can perform, that they should immediately bestir themselves to remove those circumstances which experience has proved to be injuriou s to human nature, • by intro d uc i ng ar rapgenients, combinin g such only m strated to he beneficial ? Is it contrary to Ch r i stianity to maintain that the hitherto as past times have deon sentiments,eedvgere t e h n a d t in v,o g .uag w l ,h a to r fnoofw necessity,opinions,toee erro neous supposition that each individual is the author of his own ase,ma produced solely by the nakde to be charity, superseded rs kindness,de ti bypeace know -land good _will, the easy and universal practice •of man. kind ? BLit it is easy to prove from the Scriptures themselves that real Christianity fully admits each and all these facts, and thatohe re f o re, there can be no opposition whatever between real' Christianity and the New ' System. For, the latter is derived s olely from these facts ;:ther constitute the whole of its principles, and they will direct the whole of its practice. The following are a few of the innumerable passages in'which the Scriptures distinctly teach the principles of this system " We are the clay, and the Lord' our potter; 'and we are all the works of his hand."_lsaiah, tl4. 8. " All things were made by him';' and without him was not any thing made that was made."—John, 1. 3. " Who maketh thee to differ from another ? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive ? Now,,if thou didst receive it, why dost thOu glory, as if thou hadst not received it."-let Co. rinthinns, 4. 7. . " Without me ye can do nothing."—John, 15. 5. " Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to think any thing, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God."- 7 11d Corin thians, 3. 5. • " For it is God that worketh in ycu, both to will and to, do of his good pleasure."—Phillipiana, 2. 13. " He bath wrought all our works in us."—lsaiah, 26. 12. " Man's goings are of the Lord. How can a man then un derstand t c a a n n d t h h i : ozn hi w op a i y an r c '— ha P ng ro e v i e li r s h s o k , i 2 n o , or 20 . 24. leopard his spots? Then may ye alsO do good that are accustomed to do evil."— Jeremiah, 13. 23. Not only did Christ, knowing the true source of all our ac tions, forbid others from blaming the individu a l, in a case where he condemned the action itself as improper, but he added, " neither do condemn thee."—John, 8, 11. . r, • --- „ On other occasions he speaks in the same spirit : " Judge not, that ye be notjudged. ' Matthew. 7, 1. " Ve judge. after. the flesh ; I judge no man."—John, 8, 15. " And if any man hear my wOrds and believe not, I judge him not."—John, 12, 47. The parable of • sower is a striking' illustration of the force of external circumstances ; and the comparison of human nature with tlie - different species of soil, each acted upon dif ferently, and producing fruit just in proportion to the extent of this action upon its original qualities, is most appropriate, and perfectly explains'the- principle of the formation of charac ter.—See Mark. In conformity with the same idea, Christ de sired his disciples to pray that they might not' be . " led into temptation.",-Matthew, 6, 13. And when the Jews ; ureter the inflUence of religionS intolerence, 'proceeded to take away his life, he blamed no one ; he said " Father, forgive them for t hty know not what they do."—Luke, 23, 34. S'olomon knew the certainty with which,' under proper cir cumstances, a good character might be given to every child :. " Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."—Proverbs, '22,6. .Ile knew, too, whence our thoughts and our words and our actions prN eted : " The preparation of the heart in man, and the answer of the 'tongue, is from the Lord." And, again " A man's heart•deviseth his way, but " the Lord directeth his steps."-L Proverbs, If, 1, 9. , . Jeremiah- saw the impropriety of imputing these to any other cause, when he said : " I knoW that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man . that walketh to direct his steps."—Jeremiah, 10, 23. And as if Isaiah had been aware of the inclinatiOn of man to suppose that he himself created part of himself, he puts the question to hini most forcibly : " Shall the work say of him that made It; he made me not ?"—lsaiah, 29, 16. In short, the Scriptures most distinctly and unequivocally tell us,-.Aiat the ilwividual forms no part of , himself no: of The first principles of the New System, then, arc Christian principles, and ought, as . such, to be received and acknowledged by all Christiens. But it is not by its principles alone that genuine Christianity is to be elistiaguislied. Jesus Christ himself has given us a test by which we may at once dis cover whether that which assue'ee the title, be genuine or not : " By this shall all men kne• e that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another."—John, 13. 35. To this test shall the New System be brought, and by this test it claims to be judged. masa to wlibin the Great Creating Power of the Universe ' has given minds capable of comprehending and comparing the facts which the, experience of all past times presents to the human race, will discover that the knowledge and practice of this System are necessary to regenerate the world, and prepare mankind for that new dispensation, under which all the pro 'Discs of heppinees upon earth, shall be fulfilled. Its princi ples apply, not one district, or to a small portion of the species, but to alietountries find to all people, whatever may be their colour e janguatie, or opinions ; and, under their influence, , all mankind will become in reality men and brethren of one thmily, having but one interest, and that interest obvious to each of its members. Now will any doubt much longer remain on these important subjects. Much speaking will not, hence forward, avail those. who have no knowledge, but of mere words. This very year will the practice be commenced, which will hasten the period, " when swords shall be turned into plough shares, and spears into pruning hooks ;" when every man will I be placed under those new circumstances in whichle may " sit under his own vine andlis own fig tree, and none to make him ' afraid ;" and when, in reality, " there shall be but one lan guage and one people." . Whose interest can be opposed to this change ? No man's.— nom the sovereigns on their thrones to the most degraded of their subjects, all will experience its incalculable benefits. The interests, opinions and feelings of class against class, and sect ''against sect will gradually die away, and poverty, ignorance and rebellion Will be banished from among all nations. How certain ! • how beautiful ! and yet how simple! are the means by which the Great Author of all Things will effect this mighty change. All human •resistance is rendered absolutely powerless. He gives to mankindthe knowledge that the charac ter and conduct of the individual, can never be formedby him self, but that it ever must be formed for him by the circumstances which others place around him. Thus does he withdraw the germ and foundation of anger, and remove all cause of ill will from man towards max. For, who, possessing this knowledge, can be angry with his fellows and be rational ? By the same means he will create the will in all men, to bestir themselves in good earnest, to remove whatever circumstances tend to pro duce evil in human society. And thus will the universal prayer of man be answered, ` Lead us not into temptation." To those who so far understand the principles of the New System, as to anticipate the extraordinary benefits which it is c i n a f l o c r t e t de thatto co a n o f m e r e u o p f o t n h n e i l a e n a k d i i n n d g , p i r t a w et i i l e l a b l e an g d ra m ti o rv at in e g fa t e o ie b n e t benevolent men in the kingdom, are desirous that its introduction should be no longer delayed ; and that they have contributed most liberally to enable me to form one of the proposed esta blishments, which will be immediately commenced ire the neigh bourhood of Hamilton. The establishment of o ne of these communities does not, however, seem to satisfy that portion of society who have given themselves the trouble to understand the new arrangements.--e b T o h u e r y h o a o r d e d o- desirous that otnh,ataonnde s t h h o a u t ld on b e e o e r sta m bl o i r s e he sh d o i t n tld the be neigh com menced in Ireland.

I atilt that the intere st . time is not far distant when the subject will he thoroughly investigated by the Church, the Government and the monied o si b eb ta j i e n c e ts d in for The Church will diecoVer that by this system it will be enabled with ease to form a good eharaeter among all the people ; and that thus the purpose for which Churches were established, will be fulfilled. To the Govern ment it will present ilia certain means Of improving the condi tion of the working classes, of speedily relieving them from ignorance and poverty, and the vices and misery which these must ever generate, and thus increasing the strength and.pros verity of the whole empire. And, lastly, to the monied men it will afford the means of investing their funds in a new pro perty of land and houses, rendered annually of increased value by the increased industry, knowledge and virtue of those by whom they are occupied. ROBERT OWEN. New Lanark, 17th Jan. 1824. MR. PIERCE, OF BRISTOL. TO THE EDITOR. - - Slll,—ln consequence of the various, un founded, and conflicting reports which have appeared in the Newspapers, relative to the mysterious disappearance of Mr. CHARLES PIERCE, of Bristol, I have been advised to address you with a view of removing the erroneous impressions which those statements so severely wounding to the already lace rated-feelings of his family and friends, are calculated to dis seminate. I beg to state, that I am the son of Mr. Arthur Palmer, of . 1 Bristol, with whom Mr. Pierce had been in partnership for five years past, and that being engaged as a. pupil in the of fice of Messrs. Clarke, Richardi, andlledcalf, of Chancery lane, at .the time Mr. Pierce's disappearance , took place, I immediately went.to Bristol for the purpose of rendering every assistance in my power to my father and the oiler friends of his unfuetunate partner, in their attempts to develope the cause of his disappearance. Having "remained there for the past fortnight, and having during the whole of that time been anxiously engaged in conjunction with his other friends, I am of course acquainted with all that has transpired, and I have to assure you most • positively, that up to the period of my leaving Bristol, which .I did by the mail last night, nothing had occurred tending to throw any light on this mysterious and, as is much feared, most calamitous affair.—The public will therefore see, that the various reports which have crept into the public papers, inducing a belief that the cause of Mr. Pierce's absence has been ascertained, and particularly that which re. presents his body to have been found in the Park between Bristol and Clifton, are wholly without foundation. I cannot omit particularly alluding to a letter which appeared in the Morning Heald, of Thursday last, and subsequently transcribed into other papers, purporting to be written by a Bristol correspondent, and dated " Bristol, January .20." That letter, I am authorized to say, contains a tissue of misrepre sentations, most of which were refuted, by a correct article in the .I.tritish Traveller of the 22nd inst.—and I should not now advert to it were it not to state that at the moment of my leaving Bristol I was particularly declared to do so by the friends of Mr Pierce who were then together, and who after reading the let ter alluded to, one and all expressed their abhorrence of the feeling which could lead. any fellow-citizen of theirs coolly to give publicity to falsehoods, conveying the most unjust refiec,, tiers upon the membry of Mr. Pierce. As I was stepping into the 'mail last evening at Bristol, I. was hastily informed that a statement in one .of the Papers hod gone so far as to represent that there was a defalcation in Mr. Pierce's partnership accounts. I trust I have been misin formed in this respect ; but having no time to refer to the se veral Papers to ascertain the fact; as I must immediately trans niif this to you, I can only say, that such a report (for such there must have been though not inserted in any paper) is as unfounded as it is calumnious ; and that my father distinctly stated yesterday, to Mr. Pierce's friends., that in all his busi ness and pecuniary transactions, Mr. P. was perfectly correct. And here I would beg to add, that there is no one circumstance which can lead to the belief that Mr. Pierce has voluntarily ab sented himself from Bristol; on the contrary, no doubt what ever is entertained by his friends or the public of Bristol, that Mr. Pierce has met with a disastrous end, though the precise means still remain involved in obscurity. I have to apologise for troubling you at such length, but trust you will consider the occasion a sufficient excuse. I am, Sir,.your obedient humble Servant, HENRY A. PALMER. 109, Chancery-lane, Saturday noon, Jan. 24; 1824. 1(B. itith - Tra veller The French,Paper3 mention that among other Curiosities brought from Egypt by Mr:CAILLAUD, was a very beautiful Mummy, upon the head of which was' placed a crown of gold. At the bot tom of the chest or sarcophagus is a Zodiack, the figures of which bear considerable resemblance to the celebrated one of Denderach. On the lid there is a Grecian inscription,.very imperfect, although the name PETEMERON remains quite le gible. This Mummy being of an extraordinary weight, it was imagined by some that it must con tain either MSS. or some other heavy materials, In order to ascertain the fact, the Mummy was opened on the 30th ult., but nothing particular was found.--On opening a ,second Mummy, much interest was excited by the discovery of. a new mode of preservation, the etnlialming-process hav ing been performed in a way quite different from any thing heretofore known in that branch of art. Hieroglyphical literature, by time bye. seems to be making great progress at present. Mr. JOSEPH LAMB, of New Castle , upon-Tyne, lately received a very interesting letter from M. CHAMPOLLION, jun., of Paris (which was read a few days ago at the monthly Meeting 'of the Literary and Philo sophical Society, in that town), decyphering, ip a great measure, the hieroglyphic paintings in the Mummy in the Society's rooms. The following is pretty nearly a translation of the legend paint ed on the Mummy, and will be considered as a great cariosity. " May she be approved byPhre, the Lord of the celestial Gods, amid by T---M (Ecyptain Mars), Lord of the Worlds. May Osiris, the supreme Ruler of Amenti (Hades), grant repose to the Lady TASORPE, -- daugh ter of (name of the Mother), deceased."— The name of the •mother, though given on the Mummy, is not yet decyphered, nor, what is of more importance, has the lime when the Lady liyed been ascertained.—(Newcastle.upon-Tyne, January 24.) • At the late fete given by the city of Paris, 8000 individuals were entertained at dinner. The drinkables were comprized in 7000 bottles of wine, and 2,300 bowies of punch. tighter', thousand small cakes were eaten at the desert ; and 25,900 glasses of ice.---(French Paper.)

William on the 17th June 1823, Lieut. John Maclean Wood, of his Ma jesty's 44th Regiment of Foot, was arraigned upon the under mentioned Charge, viz. • For having in a scandalous, infamous manner, such as is un becoming the character of an Officer and a• Gentlemen, in having on the evening of the 16th or morning of the 17th inst., when at the Officer's Mess Table of the 44th Regiment in • the .Garrison of Fort William, said to Lieut. Scott of the same Corps, " you lie," or " your are a liar," and immediately after repeating the same offensive expressions, his former con duct as established before a, General Court-Martial, held at Fort William on the 2d of January of this year, justifying the conviction that he is habituated to such a departure from- the rules of good manners. (Signed) J. W. MORRISON, Colonel and Lieut.-Colonel 44th Regiment. Fort William, June 23, 1823. Upon which Charge the Court came to the folloWing deci sion :—. FINDING. The Court find the prisoner, Lieutenant John Maclean Mood, of his Majesty's 44th Regiment, .Guilty of the Charge preferred against him with exception to the words " scandalous and infamous" of which they consequently acquit him, and do therefore sentence him to he.severely repri— manded, at such time and place as his Excellency the Com mander in Chief shall direct. The Court having passed this lenient sentence ; owe it to themselves to state, that they have been influenced by a consi deration of the great provocation which the prisoner received. under peculiar circumstances, snd by the:very early contrition accompanied with earnest offer of atonement which he evinced in his letter to the Commanding Officer of his Regiment on the following morning, which motives they hope will meet with the approbation and concurrence of his Excellency. Confirmed, • EDWARD PAGET, General, Commander in Chief. (Signed) REMARKS BY THE, COMMANDER IN CHIEF. The Commander in Chief confirms the sentence of the Gene ral Court Martial upon Lietit. Wood, although he can by no means make up,his mind to approve it. It appears that no provocation, no loss of reason resulting from excess, no subsequent apology, can sufficiently excuse or atone for the 'utterance of words, such as tHose which issued from the mouth of Lieut. Wood. It is thereto re with sentiments of the 'deepest regret, and of uneasiness for the well being of society, that he finds so grave an olfence•e,gwinst good manners so leniently and indulgently visited by the sentence of a General Court Martial. The Commander in Chief has done his best to vindicate the honour of the Army from 'afoul stain.. It must rest with higher authority to determine whether Lieut. Wood is still to continue in the service, and:to set at defiance the established rules of de— cenCy and decorum. - Lieut. Wood. is released from arrest, and will proceed to Europe in virtue of the leave of absence already granted to' him for the purpose. ' • , s . The foregoing Orders to be entered in the General oider Book, and read at the head okeycry Itegitnent in his Majesty's service in India. By order of his Excellency 'the' Commander in Chief.
