From Foreign Journals received at New
York, by The ship Isaac Hicks. Capt. Moidcns
RE.AssEMBLAGE OF THE JEWS.
The following letter has been adj
dressed TO the Editor Of the Paris jour-
nal DIES DsJais, by the Grand Rabbi Do
Cologne:
To The Editor.
SIR; The wisdom aud love of truth
which distinguish your journal, and tie
well merited reputation it enjoys in
France and in foreign countries, induce
me to hope that your pcliteness viii
grant me place in your next number,
tor some observations which | address
to the public on interests Of reason and /
truth.
The French and English papers have
lately announced the singular project
OF Mr.. Noai,, who calls himself the
founder Of the city Ararat, ia the United
States of North America. Certainly, il
Mr. Noah was, as he is supposed to be,
the proprietor or occupier oil great
extent Of uncultieated land, and COM
fined himself To the engagement Of men
without fortunes to run the risk of co.
lonizing with him, promising them, at
the same time, mountains Of gold, no
body would think Of dlspuiing his right
to follow the fashion of sending forth
projects: but Mr.. Noah aspires to play
much mere elevated Character. He
dreams of heavenly mission; he talks
prophetically; he styles himself Judge
over Israel, he gives orders to ali the
Israelites in the world, he levles a tax
upon all Hebrew heads In his exuita-
ton he even goes so far as 10 make the
central Jewish consistory OF France his
Charge de'Affaires, and he honors the
President of this body with the nobIe
rank of commissioners If Emigrafion.n
The whole is excellent; but two ltrifies
are wanting: LIST, the we'll authenticated
proof of the mission and authority Of
Mr. Noah; sdly, the prophetic text
which points out marsh in North A.
merica as the spot for re. assembling the
scattered remains of Israel.
TO speak seriously, il is right at once
to inform Mr.. Noah, that the venerable
Messrs. Hierschell and Meidona. chief
Rabbis at London, aud myself, thank
him, but positively refuse tile appoint
ments he has been pleased to confer up
on us. We declare that, according 10
our dogmas, God alone knows the &.
pooh OF the Israeltish restoration; that
he alone viii make IL known to the ulsola
universe, by signs entirely unequivocaI,
and that every attempt on our part to
reassemble with any political. national
design, is forbidden, as an act of high
treason against the Divine Majesty
Mr.. Noah has doubtless forgotten that
the lsraIites, faithful to the prime iplesof
their belief, are too much attached Ia
the countries where they dwell, and de-
voted TO the Governments under which
they enjoy liberty and protection, not
to treat as mere jest the chime sical
consulate OF pseudo restorer.
As however, justice requires some
consideration to the absent, we should
be sorry to refuse him the title Of vi
sionary Of good intentions.
Accept, Mr. Editor, the assurance OF
the distinguished and respectful senti-
Inents With which | remain your most
humble servant,
The Grand Rabbi DE COLOGNE.

AFRICAN COLONY.


Boston, Jan. Gin the brig Vine; which sal
led on Wednesday, for our Colony al Cape
Measurable, on The coast of Africa, went pass
sengers about 40 coloured Emigrants, who have
left comfortable homes for the purpose of en-
couraging the settlement which has been COM
menced and of assisting to spread the blessings
of Christianity and Civilization in an hereto
fore benighted and savage region. This Col
ony will diminish the chance Of procuring
slaves, besides forming an asylum for those
who may be emancipated. 1t will raise 10 rank
and usefulness portion Of the world which has
been neglected or ili-treated, and which has not
contributed its share 10 the support and CON-
fort of human beings.
Among the Emigrants are several Mechan-
les who have carried the implements OF their
trades, and will pursue their respective avoca-
tons on their arrival Among the white pas
sengers is Mr. Force, worthy young printer
of this city, who has volunteered his services
materials OF an Office, which were furnished by
subscription, and on his arrival will commence
the printing business in the Colony, and teach
the art to such assistants as he may need and
obtain.

FATE OF CUBA.

BY late accounts from the Island Of Cuba, it
appears that several vessels have arrived there
from Europe with a new reinforcement, and
that at least two Of the squadron are frigates Of
a large Class. There is nota doubt but the Co
lombian and Mexican governments are looking
with very serious aspect towards the liberia
tion OF this fine island. The small number Of
recruits, being about 1900, which the squadron
has brought out, cannot alarm the Colombians
and Mexcans, nor will their vessels OF fifty
guns and upwards, as it is said, be match for
the superior size and equipment Of such vessels
as the South America, which has lately sailed
for that country. The Congress OF Panama
may take up the fate Of Cuba among other i'm
portant topics that may be brought before them.
If such is the case, and being also coupled with
the latitude Of four frigates Of "a guns each, it
may happen that Cuba will become one OF the
South American Confederacy without much
bloodshed. Snowden's advocate.
