MAJOR NOAH.

&recent Sumber of the Aurae:ides Deis* contains
the following letter on the address of Major ?kith, who
wishes to co!onize the:. Jews ;n North Ainerica
" Ste—The wisdom and love of truth which has
long distingitished your journal, and the wel!,deset Ted
re, utation it enjoys in France and foreign countries,
induces me to hope you will give insertion, to a few
obset stations, which I submit to the PUblic in behalf of
reason and truth.

Th- French and English Papers have lately an-
niunced.the singular project of Major Noah, who calls
himself the founder of th city of Ararat, in the United
States of Norih America. Certainly, if Major Niah,
being; as many suppose, the proprietor of a great ex-
tent of uncultivated territory, would confine himsel. to
engaging advenurers to run the risk of colonization,
under the promise cif mountains of gold, no one would
t ink of denying him. the rank of one of the greatest
'pr njectors of the day ; but Major *N.iali plays a much
iligher game; he • dreams of w'celestial mission—he
speaks prophetic—he most be a qualified judge in
Israel—he gives hisiorders• to all the Israelites of the
world--he I-vies a tax *toe all the Hebrew heads, and.
he goes the length, in his exaltation, of making the.
Central Israelite Consistory of France his Charge d'Af-
faires, ind has intimated that 'the President of that ad-
ministration will be. honoured with the noble place of
Commissary of Emigrati n. All works wonderfully
well; but a lew points require to be cleared up--Ist,
we want proof of the authority and mission of M..jor
Noah ; Edly, the teat of the prophecy, from which it
appears that a bog or marsh in North America. is to be
the spot where the dispersed remnants of Israel are to.
be re invited.
" To speak seriously, it would be desirable to make
Major Noah understand, that the venerable Drs. Her-
schell and Meidola, Chef Rabbis at London, and my-
self, refuse the nomination a hich he has been pleased
kto cooler on us.
"We declate, according to our dogmas. that GOD
alone knows the epocisa a the restoration of Israel, and
that it will be made known to the universe by unequi-
vocal signs, and that every attempt to re-assemble, with
a political national object, lit "forbidden as a crime
against oivine authority.
" Major Noah has, without doubt, forgotten that the
Israelites, faithful to the principles of their belief, are
attached to the countries *here they are established,'
and devoted to the Governments which afford them
(liberty and protection. They only regard as a matter
of joke, the chimerical consulate of 4 pseudo restorer.
