In the couite of ycfterday, lee¬ ches were applied, which it was hoped would abate the irritation.

"Hamburgh, Nov. 4, 18 JO.

The honorable the fenate foiicit every cit¬ izen and inhabitant of this place^in the moll fatherly manner, to fubmit to this unavoida¬ ble meafure, in order to kffen the calamity of the learching of houfes to deliver them without dbfttnacy ; and in the mean time to rely that the honorable the fenate^ not lets upon this prefent aiiliSing fituatiori,- will leave nothing unemployed in order to pro¬ mote the good of the citizens, fo far as it may be within the limits of their power. And as every commotion and obftinacy would inevitably prove fatal in their confe- quences to country and town, the honorable fenate admonim every individual quietly to fubmit to the faid meafure, with the warning that every contumacy will infallibly be pun- ifhed according to the feverity of the laws." In addition to the above very extraordina¬ ry notice, we are authorifed to fta*e, that the gentleman who brought it to thid city, left Hamburgh on the morning of the 5th of November, at which time the officers were gathering the goods for the public connV ♦ gtation.

The moment that we begin to fuppofe that mankind are composed of diftinft fpecies, that moment our moll noble and fublime conception of the human race h extinguifhed. We no longer difcov- erin every individual, whatever be his color or his language, a child of Adam ; a broth¬ er, a peifon of the fame feelings and of the fame natural powers with ourfelves, though differently modified by peculiar circumftances and habits. That grand and affecting idea which represents mankind as one family, one hlobd branching from onr primitive ften:, is loft in the narrow and degrading thought, that like brutes we are of different fpecies. 'l'hat unity of plan which now appears to Lave acWted U*e Deity in creating man is •otally loit—that unity, (o beautiful, fo excellent and fo endearing. We had fup- Sofed that Only one kind of human feafon was Soffible on earth, and that God had given •:fe only to one fpecies of national bem^s- jiit we are now told that we have been m:(r aketfi That the different fpecies pofftls dit- erent degrees of reafon, and tliat the one PafleiSng the ftronger under {landing fliould Govern the reft.

CoNSTANTrNopLE, Sept 8_____The fol¬ lowing extraft of a report received from the Grand Vizier, has been pubJifhed in this cap¬ ital :—At the beginning of the month Rie- jael \_Augufi~\ the Ruffian army which befiegea Rudfchoek, formed in two columns, com¬ menced at 7 in the morning a general affault on the outworks and bullions of the fortrefs„ The enemy found means to penetrate into ed filled with his flam, and the number of heads cut off amo mts to 4000, a general, feveral majors, many other (.facers, and 250 rank and file, have been taken prifoners ; Ualik P<"h., ivhocommanded one oftbewingsdc- taehtd to relieve the fortrcfa, fell in near Bc-le, in the vicinity of Rudfchu.k, with an tnttsvfi corps compofed of 7000 men, at- -..^ ^„ ...j ,,/ulitl uitaua lo penetrate in: two work-, but was immediately repulfi with immenfc lofs. The ditches were a ions may be very julUy attiibiited to a nar- rownefs or mind incapable cf fublime coi^cep- tions or of extenfive uievvs, and reaiaVtO con¬ fided any thing beyond-its own limired circle, erroneous and abfurd. Among thefe opin¬ ions that which denies a common origin to mankind ; and, becaufe fome phyfical dif¬ ferences have been difc-overed between diftant nations, declares that they are diftinct fpe- • cies, appears not only ridiculous but perni¬ cious. The adherents of this opinion have been told to their confulion that, as you- ap¬ proach the line from the extremities of the temperate zones, you find each nation pof- f.'fling a darker (hade, till, at length, on the African coaft near and under the equator, the inhabitants are entirely black. Afgttfift this it may perhaps be Mated that the Carri- bees were not of the fame color tho' linn<r in the fame parallel of latitude ; but the cli¬ mate of ijlands differs from that of large con¬ tinents. The fea and land breezes and the dreadful hurricanes and rains frequent in the Weft Indies mult have a very confiderable efieel on the animal frame. Nor will it af- fift thofe who argue for different fpecies to fay, that the American nations under the line are of a very different color from thofe in Africa ; for the foil and furface of thofe two quarters of the globe are very diflimilar. America is not only interfe&ed with immenfe chains of mountains in its warmed climates, but fo abundantly watered that the air be¬ comes dangerous to man from its extreme moifturc. Africa fpreads out into fai/dy plains of immenfe extent, with hardly ft fa. gle drop of water on their whole furface.—. It is not heat alone, but the different luh- found knowledge of the aits and fciences : the moft correct and fublime notions of reli¬ gion, of the facial duties, of individual rights, and political inftilutioiio.- We who a~e clirifliar.s have a new ground tcx calling all mtu our brethn n.
