CHINESE FEMALE. Public curiosity has been considerably excited during the last week, in consequence of the announcement we gave of the Chinese Lady, who has arrived from the Celestial Empire—the first of her countrywomen who has visited Eng land. Various causes have combined to delay the public exhi bition so long, but we apprehend it has chiefly arisen from an anxious wish that our beloved Monarch should previously be gratified with a sight of this celestial beauty. The Waterloo Rooms, 94., Pall-mall, have been engaged for the Exhibition, and are now completed. They are furnished as near as possible after the manner in China, in the centre of the room there is an oval platform, raised about 18 inches from the ground, 14 by 10, covered with scarlet cloth. and yellow at the sides, with a light brass railing two feet high to prevent intrusion. A ca nopy, after the Chinese order, is suspended'over the platform, which terminates in 13 points; at each of these points there is a winged dragon, a bell hanging from his mouth suspended by a short chain. The canopy is covered with silk, and decorated with drawings of dragons, and other reptiles. The ceiling of the room is : en suite. Upon the platform, the Lady, dressed in her. Chinese costume, with her husband and brother, intend receiving their visitors. While the gentlemen will read, write, or play, at , chess, our Ladies must not be surprised at seeing the celestial beauty making a pair of shoes, for Marlin a son goat, and such is very often the practice in China. From the ceiling twenty Chinese variegated lamps are suspended, of va rious shapes, exhibiting landscapes, figures, flowers, &c. In the alcove, a Joss or Temple has been formed ; in the centre there is a painting, representing the Chinese gods Pak-Ti, Quan-Ti, Tien-Hong-Leong-Leong, Wang-Quang; and the goddess Cune-Yaam-Pooshant. To the right of the gods is a view of the land where the souls of the good ascend, a counter part of the Elysium of the ancients. On the left are four or five figures representing their holy men. On the altar there are various gods, a species of penates, and several vessels in which they burn incense and offer rice and sweetmeats to them. The front of the altar represents a Chinese table of justice, covered with yellow cloth, the front with scarlet. Several very curious lamps are suspended from the dome of the Temple. The walls of the room are entirely covered with drawings by the artists of Pekin, representing the battles of the Chinese by land and sea, hunting and fishing matches, &c. &c. The Chinese have been at an immense expence to fit up the room, and we have no doubt that they will meet with the encouragement they deserve. We are infor me d t h at hi s M a j es ty h as man if este d hi s intention to visit the exhibition, and see the lovely Yhou-Fung-Queou.— ( British and Indian 01 , scrver, Jane 6 ) INDIA. IDOLATROUS WORSHIP. (From the Calcutta Monthly Journal. ) D6ORGA POOJAII.-- The past month has wit messed the anniversary of the fe s ti va l i n h onour o f t h e Hi n d u goddess Doorga, which we learn has been numorously attend ed, as on former occasions, by Christians of various rinks, of both sexes, and of every age. We advert to this subject, which we are not aware has hitherto been publicly noticed, with the most painful feelings, and with an earnest desire not to be misunderstood. Notwithstanding the puerility and absurdity of idolatry, and the gross immoralities almost invariably con. nected with the performance of its rites, we fully admit that its votaries have just as good a right to celebrate the honours of Doorga as Christians have to engage in the public worship of the one living and true God. But surely it is not too much to expect that the latter should abstain from giving countenance to the worship of the former, by a regular or frequent at tendance at an annualfestival, at which the grossest and most revolting obscenities are unblushingly practised, and which is held in express honour of what Christians must, in all consist ency, consider as•possessing no claim whatever to the attributes or worship of Deity. We have not room to point out the various evils by which this practice is attended, or to refute the different excuses by which some will attempt to palliate it. We state the plain unvarnished fact that it operates to the en couragement bf idolatry and vice, and that it is considered by the natives themselves as a virtual approval of their worship ; and we think that this alone should induce every sincere Chris tian and every lover of his species henceforth to withdraw his presence from these midnight orgies. , It is true that even if this were done the idolatrous worship would still be con tinued probably for a considerable time ; but there would no longer be thrown around it that halo of splendour which dazzles the eyes of the vulgar, and by which even the more enlightened shelter themselves from their own contempt. The growing knowledge of this age and people is already making the fabric of superstition totter to its base. Leave it therefore to the operation of its cause and it will soon crumble to pieces ; but the operation of this cause cannot fail to be materially impeded by the continued countenance of Christians to a system of religion and a mode of worship which they profess to consider hurtful as well as erroneous, not only as giving to dumb idols that worship which is due to the Divine Being alone, but injurious also to the best interests of human society. " To corroborate the views given above we add that the members of a wealthy and respectable Hindoo family known to us, who, however urged by the convictions of their minds, are at present prevented by circumstances from discontinuing the usual routine of idolatrous worship, would long before now have entirely given up the Doorga Festival but for the hints and solicitations of their European friends, . who thus, unwittingly 'we doubt not, counteracted their laudable endeavours gradually to free themselves from the trammels of a debasing supersti tion. We have also been informed, on good authority, that a distinguished and intelligent native, on the occasion of the Festival of the present year, declared that as he is in the habit of expressing his contempt of the Hindoo gods and goddesses, in the presence of his European friends during three hundred and sixty-four days of the year, he would not be so inconsistent as to invite them to a festival in honour of one of them, on the three hundred and sixty-fifth day. We leave these facts, with out any further comment, to make their due impression upon those who are Christians in name and profession, and espe cially upon all who are so from conviction and by practice." A SUTTEE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BOMBAY GAZETTE. Sin—Should you deem the folloWing account of a Suttee, that took place hear the other day, worthy of a place in your Paper, you will oblige a Subscriber and perhaps benefit the cause of humanity by so doing : The victim chosen for this cruel and ungodly exhibition was the widow of a Bramin who died in the South Concan some days prior to this ceremony. On approaching the fatal spot she was preceded by two led horses handsomely caparisoned, and attended by ten or twelve Ilramins and about the same number of women, with'inusic, drums, dt.c. Few spectators accompanied the procession, considering the scene of action was on the immediate neighbourhood of the city—near to the old Palace. At first sight of the woman I was surprised with the idea in common with oth ers , th at she was more or less intoxicated ; but before the various ceremonies were gone through, which on such occasions precede the act of burning, those doubts had given place to a perfect conviction that she was in her sober senses and fully aware of the dreadful act she was about to per form. Of this I am th e more satisfied from the question, having been frequently put to her by the European Gentlemen present, " whether it was her wish to be burnt," to which she alway s that she knew what see wa s d o i ng, an d t h a t it was her own pleasure to burn." H aving offered the more harmless , • returned the same answer, sacrifice of incense on a small tire from which the pile that was to consume her body was afterwards to be lighted, and having parted with all her golden ornaments to those in attendance, she deliberately, and without shedding a single tear, took a last leave of all she held dear on earth, ascended the pile and there laid herself down, with the ashes of her dead husband tied round her neck. The entrance was then closed with dry straw, and the whole pile surrounded with the same light material, and immediately set fire to by the officiating Priests. I had placed myself directly opposite the entrance to the pile and could distinctly see the unfortunate victim struggling to escape. This (lid not pass unobserved by the attending Bra mins, who instantly began to knock down the canopy, which, containing nearly as much wood as the pile itself, could have effectually secured their victim in the fire had it fallen on her.. All this while no - one excepting the Officiating Bramins inter fered, but when the sufferer did make her escape from the flames, and on running towards the river either fell or threw herself at the feet of 31r. T., that Gentleman, assisted by Mr. S., immediately carried or rather dragged her into the water, in which the latter Gentleman suffered by incautiously laying hold of the burning garments. An attempt was now made by the officiating Priests to carry back their victim to the blazing pile, which was resisted by the gentlemen present, and one of their number was dispatched to acquaint the Magistrate of her escape, antt'.learn his pleasure regarding her. But before the messengers C'ould return with an answer from the Civil Authority, the Bramins had per suaded the unfortunate woman once more to approach the pile. And as she declared, on being questioned by those present that it was her own wish to, re-ascend the pile, they stood aloof; fearful of giving offence to the prejudices of the native popu lation on the one hand, or to the Civil Authorities on the other. She declined, however, for some time to ascend the pile, when three of the attending priests lifted her up on their arms, and threw her on the fire, which at this tune was hurning with great fury. From this dreadful situation the miserable wretch instantly attempted for the second time to make her escape; but the mer ciless Priests wer e a t hand to prevent this if p oss ibl e, b y throw ing large pieces of wood at their victim of putting a speedy termination to her sufferings. But it was impossible 'for any man of the smallest pretention to feeling to standby and wit ness such c rue lty, an d therefore the Gentlemen present again interfered, when th e v ictim speedily made he r escape a second time from the fire, and ran directly into the river without any assistance whatever. The unfintunate woman had no sooner entered the river than she was f o ll owed by three o f t h e o ffi c iatin g I lraniins, who were told to de s i s t f rom all furt h er persuasio n , as nothing farther would be p erm i tte d until t h e arr i va l of the 11lagistrate. Not doubting their compliance with_ this sq very reason able request, they were allowed to remain with the woman in the water ; but no sooner had the Europeans turned their backs, anxiously looking out for the arrival of authority to put; a' stop to such cru e l an a diabolical procee din g s, t h an the same three who iiadth yrownrom this attempt she was spee dil y rescue d' her , on the pile, attempted to dr ow n th e suffering wretch b y f orc ibl y throwing her d own, and holding m her en ender water. by Mr. A. and Mr. i%l, who supported her in the water till the arrival of the l ong -looked fin d e li verance .

I regret to add the woman died about noon the following day, forsaken by all her own relations as an outcast, unworthy crea ture. The fall of the other performers I will not anticipate.

IV Ask tor WARREN'S Blackitirz. P E It U. We extract the following from a Buenos Ayres Paper of the , Bth of March:— " On the evening of the 24, there arrived at guenos Aires a courier extraordinary, sent by the principal Commissioner to the Spanish Authorities at Peru, Don Juan Gregoria La' Heras, with an official dispatch, of which the following is a copy : " SALTA, FEB. 23, 1824.—The General Commissioner to the Authorities of his Christian Majesty in Peru transmits in a positive manner, for the information of his Government, the interesting details which he has just learned of the late events in this country. On the 20th of January, General Olaneta returned to Potosi, after pursuing the patriot Lanza with all his division, composed of the battalions of the Union and Chicas, two squadrons of dragoons, and some artillery. On the 21st he demanded, by letter, of the Governor and General Las Heras, 38,000 dollars to pay the troops; and Las Heras having protested that he had not such a sum, he began to urge him officially, in an insulting manner. The Go vernor then offered him 10,000 dollars down, promising to put him in possession of the rest on the following day. General Olaneta declined this proposition in Coto. Insults and quarrels took place between the officers and those of the garrison, one acting as Royalists ' the other as Constitutionalists. General Las Heras recei ve d notice in the night of the 21st, that there was a plot to seize his person in order to behead him, and im mediately he took* possessi on w i t h hi s garr i son o f t h e fortified Castle of the Mint, where he established his advanced posts. At six o'clock on the morning of the 22d, General Olaneta was in formed that the Constitutional flag was there flying : he imme diately ordered his troops to occupy the heights I • and when his advanced parties were fired at from th e C as tl e of the Mint, he made a vigoroui assault, which lasted till 12 o'clock at noon ; when,having determined to force the trenches,they compelled I.as Heras to mount a flag of truce,and hostilities ceased. The Consti tutional General demanded to be allowed to retire with his troops, the honours of war, and the money at that time in the Mint. The Royalist General assented to the first proposition only. On the strength of this he went away on the 25th to the distance of five leagues, in order that Las Heras might go away freely, which took place accordingly. Olaneta returned, and took upon himself the command, although lie averred that he had ap pointed as Governor one Archindo, an emigrant from Salta.-- This, however, is certain, that several of the principal merchants of Potosi emigrated with Las Herat:, and up to the 7th of the present month the shops and public warehouses remain shut. —lt is also certain, that the 400 men with whom the Constitu tional Chief departed conspired to desert to the Royalist Gene ral, the former having arrived at Oruro with 18 soldiers. The killed on the day of encounter amounted to 50 on both sides. " General Olaneta, in consequence of a communication from General Maroto, the President of Chuquisaca; professing that he would not recognize any authority but that of the Viceroy, ordered on the sth of this month all his division to get under arms, and on the 7th he put himself at their head. The results of this second enterprise are still pending; but it will not be difficult for the General Commissioner to learn them, and transmit them for the information ofhis Government. General Maroto is preparing for the attack, having fortified himself in Chuquisaca. His force consists of six companies of the re giment of Ferdinand VII., the squadron of Laguna, and some artillery. Olaneta will conduct his operations with his division of 2,500 men, with more than two companies of in fantry, and three of cavalry, which were under the orders of Colonel Marquiegui, before the advanced ports of Quisca and Taleria ; and if the results of this enterprise are successful, he will be in a respectable situation. It is also affirmed, that Aguilera, Governor of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, with 800 men ; Mendizabal and Ymas de la Paz, with 400 ; and Somo cusio de Cochabamb with 600, are royalists and entirely under the influence of Olaneta. This being the case, the Viceroy will be in great difficulty. On both sides are elements for the continuation of war, which cannot terminate until one or other is put an end to. What corroberates this assertion is, that (Menem has adopted this system in the firm persuasion that La Serna has deprived him of the right of Viceroy from Chusco to the limits Of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, with which his nation has honoured him. According tsi the letter of Olaneta to his wife, in Tupiza, he was not afraid of the Ari cers y, because, as he says, he thinks it of great conse quence to wait on the coast of Lima. In spite of this, the Commissioner-General knows, by a dispatch worthy of credit, that the regiment of the Viceroy's guard was march ing against Olaneta. The proclamation, too, of the Royalist General to the p eo pl e o f P eru was printed at Potosi, and published at Tupiza, amidst the ringing of bells. It alone is sufficient to give a general idea of the ignominious yoke which these unfortunate countries endured. Besides being governed by an absolute military force, they were ground down by the most degrading oppression. The Commissioner-General is bound to represent, that the town of Potosi evinced in the above mentioned event an impartial conduct, and to state in conclu sion that the Viceroy of Peru is exhausted of resources; that the exhorbitant contributions which the towns are forced to pay, are not sufficient to supply hiit necessities, and that by this means the whole army subsists upon half-pay. The Com missioner-General to the authorities of the King of Spain, in Upper Peru, presents to the Minister of the Government his respects, and salutes him with all consideration. (Signed) " JUAN GREGORIO DE LAS LIBRAS. " Addressed to the Minister Secretary of the Govern ment and foreign relations of Buenos Ayres." The following is the proclamation of the servile General Olaneta, to which reference has been made by General Las Heras GENERAL OLANETA TO THE PEOPLE OF PERU. " I address you for the first time, and I have no doubt that you will attend to my words. lam not accustomed to any other language than of truth ; and truth constitutes my cha racter. Adhering to the principles of the religion in which I was educated from my infancy, and faithful to my Sovereign from inclination anti conviction, it is not possible for me any longer to disguise the scandalous corruption in which a few in novators endeavour to plunge you. They have thrown out all the venom of the false philosophy which they concealed in their hearts ; they endeavoured to persuade you of your own happi ness when they were farthest from wishing to secure it. You have hitherto resisted their arts; but there are some among you, who, renouncing their first principles, have adopted the pernicious maxims of your impious masters. Thus they have triumphed over your weakness, and your seduction has been followed by bitter fruits. You are -witnesses of this, and you lament with me a misfortune whichyouhad it not in your power to prevent. Reli. gion and the King.;--these most:sacred objects—havebeen shame fully profaned at public meetings, and even by the vilest persons. It has even been an object of pride to depreciate them, and the toleration and connivance of the authorities have encouraged the iniquity of this horrid crime I shall not dwell upon the contempt with which the tenples and the priesthood have been treated, nor recal to Catholic communities for their shame that they have been mute spectators of the most sacrilegious fana ticism, showing, in conclusion, that impiety and unbridled licentiousness, hatred of the King, a total overthrow of order, and the most arbitrary violence, have been the characteristics of their vaunted liberalism. Fortunately the most decided partisans of this system, destructive of Christian morals, of your ancient customs, and of your future felicity, have disap peared : they go loaded with confusion and opprobrium ; and these unclean plants will not return to disgrace this soil. _ . '.` Peruvians, you owe this great blessirik to Providence, who always watches for your good, and who desired to pl ace you under the protection of the division commanded by me, before it was dispersed and destroyed by the faction of the chiefs who conspired against its existence and mine. What were the wishes of this, may be easily conceived by you. My soldiers and I labour with heroic enthusiasm for religion, for the King, and for the rights of the Spanish nation, to which we have the honour to belong. This has been our watchword, and these the only objects to which my endeavours have been directed. To obtain them with all possible advantages, I exact from yr no sacrifice; the union of y our sent i ments w i t h mine is only aid I require; if you grant them Me, lending your_eobe dience to the legitimate authorities, we shall have triurriph ( 1 you will be happy ; I shall have the glory of Consolidating the true felicity of the peopl e o f P e r u ; and to us all will remain thewe a immortalre inspired b satisfactiony Gm of ,the having K in f g ul . filled the duties with and s°cietY / • " PEDRO ANTONIO DE O LAETA.

PAUL POTTER, TUE YOUNGER. British Coffee-house. JOHN BULL, AND M. FRENCH, ESQ. The following correspondence appeared ►n the Weekly Paper entitled Jolts But.r., on Sunday last, in consequence of what that Paper had said on the preceding Sunday respecting Mr. FRENCH, a retired military Officer of most respectable character, and now Master of the Ceremonies at Margate, where he is universally esteemed : COPY OF A LETTER ADDRESSED TO MAJOR-GENERAL TURNER FROM MR. FRENCH. SlR—Having perused in yesterday's JOHN Him/. a narrative of Sir HENRY HARDINGE'S Military career, at the conclusion of which my name has been so improperly introduced, as a friend to Mr. BATTIER, on the subject of his recent difference with Sir HENRY HARDINGE, I consider myself somewhat justified in calling upon you to prove (for the intOrination of the editor of that journal, as well as for the satisfaction of my own friends,) that his statement has been pel:pctly incorrect, as far as regards the assertion of my having interfered in the matter in question, further than by meeting your own particu. lar request of accompanying you (for Mr. HUNTER) to the house of Mr. WESTERN, in order to assist you in procuring from the sealed papers of his nephew (the late Col. WESTERN) the copy of a document which you required for Sir HEN Rl' HARDIN . ° E, and which document, from motives of delicacy, as you stated, you were anxious to obtain in the presence of a third person. You then subsequently urged me, at the United Service Club, to join my signature (as an•intpartial person) to that of Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN'S, in addition to your own and Mr. HvNT Eit'S names, to a brief statement, w:tich was framed, at your suggestion, by Sir llussr.v Viv lAN. Which state. ment was merely to prove that a copy of such a document as you required, with another, had been found amongst the sealed papers of the late Col. WESTERN, when they were opened in our presence. Thus terminated the sole interference on my part in this affair, as Ltrust you will do me the justice to acknowledge. On the matter in question between Sir EL HARDINGE and Mr. BATTIER, it would ill become me to presume to offer any comment, but, with regard to the qpnsive.and very improper meaner in which my name has been brought forward on the subject in JOHN BULL, I flatter myself 'with the hope ths yoU did not either authorise or sanction the misrepresentation which has appeared in that paper, especially as I received your pledge that my ndme was not to be introduced in any manner relative to what had passed between Sir HENRY HARDINdE and Mr. BATTIER. As for my being Master of the . Ceremonies at Margate and St. Peter's, WHICH OFFICIAL. SITUATION the Editor ofJOHN' BULL, or his mysterious informant, seems to treat with so much contempt, I can only observe that I co:ism Eft THE APPOINT MENT AS AN HONOUR. COMPERED UPON ME, and not in the slightest degree as attaching disgrace either to the character of a Gentleman, or to the commission which I have had the honour to hold for fourteen years in his Majesty's service—l am, Sir, your very obedient, humble Servant, George-street, Monday. • M. FRENCH. GENERAL. TURNER'S LETTER. (Corr.) United Service Club, I,t June, 1824. SER:—I have to acknowledge the receipt of ytyur letter of the 31st nit. on the subject of a paragraph which appeased in the JossN Bum.. of Sunday last, and calling upon me to prove the incorrectness of the statement which calls you the " other friend of Mr. BATTIER." You certainly were only known to me as the friend of the .friend of Mr. BATTIER, Mr. HUNTER, on whose account you voluntarily presented yourself to me as a perfect stranger; and when I called upon Mr. BUNTER to join me in recovering papers necessary to the ends of truth and justice, he declined doing so, but deputed you by a written document to act for him —which you did ; and in all that followed, your conduct was marked by moderation and propriety, and the object of your interference seemed to be confined wholly to considerations con nected with Mr. 11u NTER. You neitherevomed nor upheld of the cause of Mr. BATTIER —You . DISCLAIMED ALL CONNECTION Wi'l'it HIM—AND YOU SEEMED VERY ANXIOUS TuAT I SHOULD NOT CON siorn YOU AS HIS FRIEND, AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE SO CONSIDERED BY OTHERS. Of the article in JOHN BULL I knew nothing until I read it, and I am free to say that I read the part which relates to you with regret. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, To 31.
