G. JAMES, Mr. NEWBEItY has to slate a few facts in addition to those in his Affidavit. • Mr. James, by ail Extract from Dr. James's (which he revieseuts " ,the mast •solinuo Instrument in a Man's Life"), losing-ides," that Mt. Newbery has not either the se-: errts, or at'q henefiCial Interest. in the Produce of [)r. James's Medicines, and thus he totally perverts the Object ano the Meaning of the Will. , Mr. Newbery *tame intitled to llalf the Property of Dr. Janies's Fever Powder and Analentic Pills, not front his Will, but from other solemn Instruments, namely, •I teeth and Co venants, 'tinder Dr..lames's ha•td and ..seal, which ate now in Mr. Newhery's possession, together with re‘ , Olar Assignments of a Moiety of jbe Lettets Patent, for which Dr. James re ceived vaittable Considetations. •It is true that he Isegneath ed ." all his Right and Interest in his Powder and Pills" to his eldest San ;—that is, all the Right aid Interest he pos sessed; for he had conveyed one half of his Interest • his Powder to Mr, Newbery': •- many years before; and at ,the very time he executed ins told, July the .i7th, 1,74, the .4greements were forming respecting the Analeptic Pill., and .were actually signecl, "by Ur. lathes and Mr. Newbery, a few ,days gterwardsoOmely, on the 9th of August; Mr. Newbery's Application to the Cohn of Chancery was n,ot " to.sabsiantiate a Proprietorship in thtr Medicines,” - as crated by Mr, James, hot to compel the Parties to supply the "Powder and fills, while I he Connexion suhsisted, conformably wilt) the Covenants in the De.eds above-mntioned,' and with the Directions contained in Dr. James's is ill and Codicils ; Mr. Newbery, beiug determined to fulfil his En”agnients . every respect; sit that if a breach took place, it Zooid not be diis act, but that of Dr. Jathei's Great stress is laid upon Mr. Newbery's haring heen fur nished with the Medicines fnr seventy years-by Dr. James and ,his.Fautily.- This, they were bound to do, or to leave Mr. ,fs:ewhery at liberty to 'prepare them himself; and it cannot be urged, thk4t,s.nett a continuance could disqualify Mr. New -bery, and deprive him of the Power to prepare the Medicines , bltecause they chose to break the Agreethents and refuse the; Supply. lie was surely as competent to manufacture them, :from the original Receipts aid 'the InstrUctions lie derived from the Invemor himself, at Mr. It. - 'J. G. James, whose knowledge imparted by his Uncle, whether written or not, was, at third hand.. The very confident tone of Mr. It. G. G.. James railit induce persons to imagine that be had prepared part of the supply himself during the seventy years.; the Re-: verse, however is the Truthl.for it is only • wit hmn a short -time that he his been'atimitted to the secrets'of the Concern, and as not one Packet or lox of his yowder or Pills has ever tteensida at' Mr. Newbery's Warehouse, no great experience can be boasted of ; Mr. James's question, therefore, recoils upon himself, viz. r " Whether the-Public will speculate up on or administer his Medicines, which Mai be considered as untried. After the prdnf of Mr. Newbery's Title to half the Property in these Medicines.:•,-aftert he facts detailed in his Affidavit: after the. teitimorty afforded by the Analysis of two eminent Chmbists.

Airived at Spit lead, on ,Sunday mOrning—se`n ni.ht in the ship Cam - , Captain TAYLOR,' his Excellency Lord AMIMST, His Lordship sail ed front Portsmouth on the 9th of Fcbmry, 1816, on an en►bassy to the Court of Pekin, an board his Majesty's frigate A Icesle, Capt. Mutt- RAY aceonipanied by the Lyra brig of war, Captain BASIL lIALL, and the General Hewitt Indianian, Captain GAMPIFLL. His Lorthhip touched at Aladeira, Rio Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, and Batai°ia ; and the voyage was extraordinary for its rapidity, the ships having traversed 14 ; 000 miles in 92 days under sail. In the- beginning of July the ent;• be.:,q arrived on the coast of China, and proceed ed up• the Yellow Sea : having been joined by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, at Great Lemma ; Sir GEORGE having been sent down to say the em bassy would be received with every attention.— On the 9th of August the embassy disembatked safely in the Gulf .of Pc Cheli, which is not far ditoaut from the Capital.: Whilst on the journey every effort was made by th.e Mandarins to induce l ! is Excellency to comply with the Tartar cere- Molly of the Ka-ton'---which was resisted on. the ground of the precedent of Lord MACART-NaY but every demonstration of respect, consistent ..with the dignity of his Soverei g n, and the honour of his nation, was.freely offero by his ECcelleney. The degrading ceremony of kneeling and knocking the head (the literal expression in Chinese) nine limes against the ground, is not only demanded. from the Ambassadors. of_ all tributary Kings (as every Sovereign of the world is indiscriminately called), when in the Imperial presence, but like wise on, receiving any mess,Zge from the Emperor, and on broken yictuals - beiug sent to. them from his table: and this *as actually submitted to by the Dutch in 1795. 'The - Chinese, for obvious' _ reasons, were extremely anxious for the perform ance of this ceremony by a British Ambassador ; and threats, flatteries, and lies in abundance, were used, in order to induce cotnplinnce, but all in vain. .A most extraordinary scene took place at the Pa lace of YEVEN-,MIN YUEN, which,. with many other singular- circumstances attending the depar ture from Pekin,. and the' journey of four mouths through the celestiO Empire, will very soon be laid before the public. The Emperor, a man of impetuous and capricious . disposition, : increased by a habit of constant inebriation', seemed, in his cooler moments, .afraid of the consequences of his Abrupt disnrissal of t he' Embassy, .as. appeared by his sending atter it, to request some exchange of presents, and expressing himself satisfied of the respectful feelings of the .Kiny; of ENGLAND, who had sent so far to h . im attributing the Whole blame of the affair to-the unmannerly con duct of the, Ambassador, who refused to knock head, as in duty bound, and according to the cow won roles of politeness. The Embassy, .on. the tour through China, .experienced the most perfect respect. The •Ateeste and Lyra, after landing .the Embassy, ."ere emplOyed ia surveys ; - the former taking the. Golf of .Leatory And coast .Cores, the latter tbe south - western coast .of that Gulph. The Alceste went as far as the junction of the great wall of China with the sea, which was seen from the ship. Both ships joined company tar Che-a-Ton, or Ze-a-Tou 1,14 - mis. The trnerr si tioos of the coasts and island.. of Chinese TartUry, and much useful Itydrographical knowledge, were obtained, whereby form , r errors are correct d.--- Steering afterwards tor the Corean shore, :they found former geogtriPttical descriptions of it mi serably detective ,and an archipelago of Islands; hitherto unknown to exist, were discovered. Many k% ere cliristenerl:with particular names, fl'ad correct , chain Made of the' true position of the whole.— The ships then proceeded to the sinithwaol of Japan, and arrived at the Livon Kicon More ,hydrographical knowledge. was obtaiiied . , and an intimate acquaintance formed with thepa lives, ©f whom, hitherto, little was known, 'find themselves scarce knowing any thing about the test ot the world. At Grand Leuchen, the chief; of this kitigrhirn of Islands, the ships'refitted, amt log a race of people as extraordinary for their chilli nutiKe size as for their general character. They :are of great antiquity and considerable civilita tion--vossess much ot the rigid, natural jealousy and' reserve of their neighbours, the Japanese and Chinese. On further acquaintance, they were thund an interesting people ; in the highest de gree kind and hospitable ; and after a stay of six weeks, both pasties separated With evident, proofs of mutual regret. We are informed, Irons good ' authority, that Captain IlAsti. VIAL!, (of the Lyra) is preparing an account of this Island and peoplc; 7 , is also a generat,history of scientific objects con nected with the voyage; whia:h will be enriched with charts and engravings. From hit' superior intelligence on hydrographicat and scientific sub-; jects in general, a work from his handi . cannot fail of beinghighly interesting. The Alceste and Lyra arrived et the ni6ittli of the Tigris in Novernber, and Were treated with every indignity by the Viceroy,of Canton, who refused a pass for the ships to enter. the river,. as had been granted to the Lion; on a former occa sion dills attempting to cut off the supply of tresh waterand proViSions; which could only be brought on board by stealth after dark ; and va rious other insults were offered. - Capt. MA xwaLL, justly considerhig that the honour tit the flag must suffer.by a tante .submission, proceeded up tvith , out a pass. The Mandarins strongly manned the forts (containing 11.0 pieces of cannon) at the „Bricett Tigris, and uut a tueskise, as the ship rPRIC E Sh7ENPENCE. advanced, that they (the Alceste), she auenipted' to pass throngh: She nevertl,e less pushed on;. and a warm firing commenced front the forts, anti their war jnnks, which was immediately returned by the Alceste, which tint; within pistol shat ''of their largest fort, a wtll - was poured in, which laid a num ber sprawliog, and fairly drove the rest h es over head out of the ha:leery : the ship now proceeded up ,to her safe and proper anchorag e, followed, Lint, onotolested, ,by war . junks. '. l\7text day the Viceroy ,(having been nlw heated the right way)", - sent' dawn a high' Mandarin to congratulate the Captain on his arrival in the ricer, this Mandarin having passed Captain M. in his, way clown, who, ' in the mean time, had gone tip to C anton, to de pan(' further reparation for the insult offet . ed . to the-King's ship. On Tnesday, the' 2Stb January, his Majesty's ships Alceste and Lyra sailed from iViaeao the former having un board his Excellencvand suite, returning from his mission from the. Court of Pekin. On the 3:1 of February the Alceste ar rived ‘, at Manilla, and the Lyra on the sth, avhen she was sent with his Excellency's dispatches to Bengal. The Alceste was proceeding into the Straits of Sunda, through the Straits of Gaspar, when she unfortnuately struck on a coral reef, on the,morn ing of the 18th Februaty, and shortly filled. No lives were lost on this occasion. The Ambassa dor and his suite, with some of the crew, were immediately put on shore on the island of Polo Leat, a short distance ft oin,the wreck. It was decided after Lord ANIIERST'S remaining - one night on the island, that his .Lordship and suite should attempt to make Batavia (distant '2OO miles) in two boats, attended by Lienternint HOPPNER, and Messrs. MAYNE, Coox, and Ikata, and .they arrived after four days of much fatigue an-d hardship, from want of 'water, at Batai His Lordship, without a moment's delay, dis patched the Company's cruiser Ternate, with Mr. the Secretary of Embassy, volun teer, to the assistance of those left behind. She beat against wind slid current for a consider able time, and at last got sight of the Island. The party left obtained some provisions . , which, .had floated up, and by careful niati , agement, they made shift to live there (having obtained, by digging, some fresh water) fro'm the 18th of Fe bruary to the 7th of March. During this period they were beset by tie savages of the neighbour ing Islands, who, after plundering and burning the ship, blockaded the party onshore ; they, with a Very few regular arms, kept theta at bay. Jim an attempt to seize the remaining boats, ten of them, one morning, were variously disposed of by Lieut. HAY; some were shot, and others were drowned. Their adventures in the Island were rather of a ro mantic and unusual cast.- 7 -The conduct of Ca p t. Max wau., in his gen.eral.managetrient of affairs, as well as means of defence, is spoken of in high admiration by his Officers—it' displayed coolness and powerful reflection, under a sudden pressure Of difficulties and a combination of dangers attire than sufficient to have overwhelmed an ordinitry mind.—At Batavia, the Caesar was taken tip to briag.,lotue his Excellency and Suite, with the Officers and men of the Alceste ; she touched at the Cape, St. Helena, and Aseentiou, on her way to Englaud. , Concerning the interior of China we have been able to obtain but litt;e information. The people , . r appear to manifest the same determined mina to sillier no innovations, n their accustomed habits ; but, on the contrary, they boast of not having gone out of the beaten track of their forefathers: they are grossly ignorant and sensual. The country in ger.eral appeared Well cultivated.--- They have no caravans, road waggons, or any establishment similar to our post ; conse quently, in the intetior, the people had not heard of the Nepaul War, nor, indeed, did_they appear even to know where that country %vat • sitnate. It appears ii»possible to estimate the po pulation, as the people are not etiroilvd, nor has a' census ever been. taken. But few soldiers were seen; the greatest number of any one body did not exceed 600. They are composed of four descrip tions of men, viz. Matchlorks (usually in a bad state), Archere (.who occasionally act nisi cavalry), Spearrnen and Tigers otKar, who are the 4inpe ror's body guard: tht!y are armed with a short sword and target, .and ene,loped in a yellow mantle, gorgeously decorated with tigers' heads, to render their appearance formidable. The King's internal revenue is collected in kind,„ after the manner of our tithes :the collecting junks, which are said to amount to 20,000, set off' for the fur ther parts of . the empire, and with the change of the Moonson frcitu the westward, - they all return and unload their eargdes of all species of grain into public granaries, from whence it is sold to the public ; this, and the customs from the ex-, ,port 'of 'their mantaactitres'at Canton, comprise the entire source of their revenue---excepting only ,the tale of the Govertiorships, - which etnolument goes into tine Private purse of the EmperOr.— ,03ritish Press) - The presents exchanged by the Emperor of Cluti,!„ and his, letter to the Prince Regent, with Lord AmtiEßST's own documents, relating to the .embassy, were all saved front the• wreck of the Alceste ; but the specimens of the Geologist, Mi- Ateralogist, and the Botanist, were lost ; the draw. ings of thote Gentlemen were saved. The pre e!its from the Emperor are said to . be of a very trifling valise; the articles consist of purses, and. large agatii which latter artick derives its chief altie trout the kind, whenever discovered; being delivered over to the Empetor, and, there ore, Only be bestowed by him : he invariably' gives one as a testimony of satisfaction, wilt:never' any se l "..
