      _intercourse between our countrymen and the Chinese is strictly prohibited , and the determination of the high tribunal remains tc be known . We hope , that this unlucky business may not interfere with the pursuits of a gentleman of

      Cambridge , who lately went to Canton with the sole view of studying the laws , maBners , customs , and language of this extraordinary people . No one is better calculated for such an enterprize . He was distinguished for his attainments at the _university but was prevented by the

      % bsurd prejudices which disgrace that seat of learning , from obtaining those honours which he richly merited . He _veould not subscribe to the formula , requiring a declaration of religious opinions from every person before he takes a degree . What nonsense ! In very bigoted countries upon the Continent ,

      _even Jews are permitted to take their degrees 5 but England will be the last country to put all its inhabitants on the same footing in its universities . Cambridge is , however , not so bad as Oxford ; for at Oxford they compel a young man on entrance to subscribe a great quantity of propositions , in the sense of which it will not be easy to find any two meri of learning agree . "

      THOMAS PAINES _' s NEW WORK . We copy the following notice from an American paper , _though without vouching for its truth . It may be . a _^ trick upon the Editor . Six months ago ,

      Literature In India.—The Following Is An...

      the conductor of a low , fanatical magazine in _JLondon , was egregiously imposed on by a Letter , signed " Thomas _^ Paine , '* and dated cc America /'

      a month only before its publication . In this forged letter , T . P . is made to threaten the religious public with a new book against their faith , and the self-complacent Editor of the Gospel _Magazine , in a page or two of remarks , invites the inndel to come

      forward , pledging himself tc * defend revelation , not as Dr . Young , and Leland , and others , he says , have done , by calling the Scriptures to their aid , but by the help solely of natural religion , which natural religion , the said work is accustomed to revile as nothing better than Arminianism 9 the monster which haunts the

      imagination of all true-bred Calvinists . _< A new work , from the pen of Thomas Paine , has made its appearance at New York , entitled , Examination of the Passages in the New Testament , quoted from the Old , and called Prophecies concerning Jesus Christ : to

      which i $ . prefixed an Essay on Dreams ; shewing by what operation of the mind a dream is produced in sleep , and applying the same to the account of dreams in the New Testament ; with an _Appendix , containing my private thoughts of a future state , and remarks of the contradictory doctrine in the books pf Matthew and Mark .
