SrR , Ba / k , June , 1816 . WISH that yb-u could furnish us I with more particulars concerning the * late Francis Webb , Esq . I wish therefore that Miss Milner , of Islington , would grant you her assistance . I was glad to see the mistake corrected , that he was secretary to an embassy sent to the prince of Hesse
to hire troops to fight against the Americans . I knew that to be an unfounded assertion , as he was always a most strenuous advocate for the cause of American resistance . The history of his defence against the attempt to rob him was not worth
recording . Let your correspondents furnish us with mattery of more moliient . ' Ypur correspomlenC who wishes to Itnow wheie I learned J 5 r ., Chauncey ' s partfcular , doctrine , Concerning the successive states of 6 blivion of the righteous in their passing- tp higher decrees of glory
in a future world , rrhust'be informed that I learned it in along private conversation with himself , Which he began By saying , I ncmst ba . ss through many { rfeejps . The Dr . thought highly of 1 liberality , and' was perhaps more Wen in his coin mu meat ions with

thought a considerable sum . He proceeded in this way until the time of his imprisonment expired . Being then told that he was at liberty to go where he j > leased , he requested that he might be allowed to continue in the Rasp-house until he should earn
a sufficiency to support himself elsewhere . His petition was acceded to * . and after remaining there some years , he found himself in possession df money enough to live without labour . He returned to Birmingham and took a neat house in its neighbourhood .
and , being found a thoroughly reform ed and intelligent man , some gentlemen became acquainted with hiinv and frequently dined at his table . To them he generally related his whote
history , and the circumstances whfep contributed to implant in . his breast honesty and integrity and generosity ; and he always concluded' the feast with toasting the master of the Rasjp * house . ¦ -

At prgsent when we go to Morocco , we express our horror at the sight of heads of human beings in the en * - trances to their palaces , but forget what was seen at Temple Bar somt years ago , and what is still seen in some places in the country .
