TO THE EDIIVRPF THE V.IN. • Sin —.As the vitlear error - that a creditor has * riOt ro priest the dean body of likdebt or . has I ate ly been, tiered upon, the history of tliai may nut be Uilatnusitig to your readers... Herodotus tells us s t . hat Asychis, the grandson of Chees,,to ; facilitate borroa ingot money, allowed -the Egyptiatis to pledge the dead bodies of their .parents, whieti; rill tit redeemed by die payment of the sums ralvaticed, ,could not be depeoited, in. the sepulchres ot their fathers. Upon the supposition that a sitnilar law prevailed in Burgundy, 11lassmger has built his play,of the. Fatal Dowry, from whim Rowe stole the 'Fair Penitent. But none of the nations of Eu rope are now so stupid as to make the dead body of a debtor a pledge to bs creditors,. -my of im pcis not even admit of arrest in the, Inst instance for "sitist, but • only .in execution ; 'and it; bx.law, the .dead roan - were,to be kept in prison till ; his son ,paid alebts, it is onviotis- that every gaol [Mist, ,be - also At:vitiator.. But in the King's Bench Prison:there is nothing so Common AS CU.bear of a'wooden habeas, . a cant term ter a coffin; by which the prisoner is, released from all cootioement in this world, .hating , satisfied all creditors as to every claim opou his per sun by paying:the great debt ot • Moore: . and the maxim of the _English law is, that actin pc7sonalis muritur, pe. , -rsuicl. Otte would, !tato thought that any notion to the contrary was mina. At Westminster Abbey, the guide who shows the curi osities of the place, exhibits, in a small chapel or cell near to Henry the -Seventh's brazen tomb, a couple of old coffins, 'covered with red velvet, which he gravi~ly 'tolls you contain the bodies of two Ambas sadors, whose remains were arrested for debt, and not suffered to be buried; wherefore they are now 'n'ot placed in A vault or tomb, . Now, in the first place, , by the law of nations, the persons of Ambas sadors are sacred and inviolable, dead or living; and in the next, it is hard to say these men were denied christiati burial, when toeir Coffins . are carefully placed in that sacred temple. in, which are deposited in a similar manner the ashes of a long race: of 'kings and heroes. In order, hoWever;•-to relieve 'the public from all doubt upon this sublet& now; 'lntl that every one May retire to rest without stay apprehensions that his - precious relieues, when If he is dead, may be violated with justice by the rode. hands of bailiffs, 1 shall extratt from a mo dern: book of reports, the words of the present Chief Justieee of England, Lord Eflcnboroudh, upon the subject : in which his Lordship held, that even promise to pay a debt, extorted from a perem trough fear of a dead body being arrested, was il- Hl;gal, being without consideration, and void ; which sit: could not be, it the ihreateoed arrest welt: " Now as to the case of Quick v. Copplestone ; in that cast the promise was made thrutih fear of being arrested ; and it is so stated in the , deawati. On. 'And Hyde, C. J. held that a lorbearaiiee to sue one who fears to be sued is a good considera. lion ;' and he cited a case in the Common Pleas, when be sat there, whete a woman, who feared that the dud body other son would be arrested tor deal, promised in consideration tit thrbearance, to pay ; and it was adjudged against her, although she was neither executor nor administrator.. But the other Judges doubted of this ; and I think it, would be bad, even after a vercliCf; tor it appears vicious upon the face of it. Such means Of extorting a promise .is not to be•eridured. It is impossible to look upon that as a. good promise Which is absolutely made in consideration that a periots will forbear to do a v i o l e nt injury to the feelings of all the relations of the deceased." See t stoith's Rep..i gS. Jones v. Ashburnham, B. 'B. Hilary Term, 1804. See also East's Reports, H. 44 Geo. 111. S. C. Upon- the- whole, this barbarotts law may have obtained in. Egypt, but it never did in any modern State, There it . was customary to etnbalm the bo dies of the deceased, or make mummies. of then; and it is probable that he who possessed the must of these precious remains was held in the highest ha tnour for 'his high birth and lung riches'. 'Lie mum my was a movable, and Ornamental piece of lurid. lure, and a valuable testimonial of Debility, like the statues of the Roman patricians; audao pledge this, was to give a an an actual security for the me- ;ney,• which was advanced . expressly on that pledge, and apportioned to the inherent value at it. But athis was a stipulated. pledge by' the son, not an ordi nary e%ectuion upon the body of the father ;. And, nhowevir odious . it may now appear in the spends ittirift heir, was' snore' reasonable than the pledge ':which the law is supposed to give of the dead body of the debtor, which must necessarily impose upon the creditor, who was• to keep it unburied, (pal ti cularly during this hot ;weather), the' task et reviv ing, not the dead bettly, but the long lost art ot em balming, which is nearly as hopeless an expeti- Ment.

They showed them selves still greater cowaids when the fire Of ma ke, ry commenced ; and all our t.trorts, and, esen the teat everity J induce them to make a Stand, were, unavailing. - Under pretext Altai they did not like i'he business, or that they lia . kno par. ,(which I myself saw some of thisti . tliroar away Ind conceal), or that their gun-locks were out t or ordet. they would .nut tight. fob enettiy made a charge, ,and same of the Companies ,went over to them, and even tired opeti ur ; w hileithero began their retreat, or rattier a shameful and rthior derly flight ; the reserve could not keep them to their duty., tor they had the audacity, to.

The artillery of their division was thus lost ; and the two advanced divisions of Viii mum and Diaz Velez, after sustaining a vigorous attack for, tour hours, reteeated to, the camp at Mocha, haVing sustained some , loss, of which I cannot give you the details. At this moment Ge neral Rivera, who commanded the reserve or the cavalry, observing the signals of attack, came up to the point of action, and was enabled to cover the reunion at the divisions, and to oblige the ene- .my to retire to their camp. The latter - suffeted a losigi considerable, that, according to all accounts, it was at least trip'o, our own. We are collecting the dispersed by the 'routes - of Potosi, Plata ! and Drispoblado;' after which, We 'shall retire to head quarters, twilit: purpose of reinforcing the army, and of acing accordieg to chcum.tauces..
