he insinuates that this latter personage is al fictitious character , and charges his productions upon some known individual , we suppose Mr . Adam ; the
Unitarian missionary , who appears ( for the pamphlet is obscure on this point ) to hare published a contradiction of the charge , and a denial of all knowledge of the writings under the name of this Brahmin . Mr Arnot

To f French , Esq ., Barrister in England . Sir , ABO UT eighteen months ago I met with a severe disappointment from Dr . R . Tytler , of the Ho- * nourable East India Company ' s
service , his noisy professions having led me to hope that he was a sincere defender of the manifestation of God in the fiesh 9 against our common enemies , the Unitarian heretics . A short time , however , discovered the inconsistency of his professions ; as he failed
to co-operate with me in this good work , notwithstanding the numerous appeals I made to him by the common basis of our respective religions , to unite with me in contending- against that " nest of serpents ' who have , by their false reasonings , shaken the lofty temple of the holy faith in the
plurality of persons under one Godhead , which we in common with Christians piously maintain , v These horrid blasphemers of Divine incarnations have consequently been since gaining ground in various parts of the world , and are gradually robbing both Hindoos and Christians of the sacred

*—^¦^^ - ^ Communication from Ram JDoss , of Calcutta .
[ Our readers may remember our giving an account in a former volume [ XIX . 236 , 296—301 ] of a publication by Ram Doss against the Unitarians , intended to unite the Hindoos and
Trinitarian Christians as common believers in the incarnation of the Deity , in opposition to all believers in the unity and spirituality of the Divine nature and person . We are now about to lay before them a letter , from the pen of the same singular writer , to
Mr . French , the Barrister , who , in the defence of two of Carlile ' s shopmen , prosecuted for blasphemy at the Old Bailey , made a furious attack upon the Unitarians , which , because it was furious , they have thought below their notice . The letter is forwarded
to us by Mr . Arnot , lately Editor of Mr . Buckingham ' s Calcutta Journal , who , like that gentleman , has been banished from India by an order of the Governor-General . Mr . Arnot
says , that " the MS ., which appears to , be the production of some red-hot idolator , " was sent to him when on the point of leaving Calcutta ia November last , accompanied by a letter under the same signature , and is now
sent to us , " as it is evidently a sort of manifesto against the Unitarians in Europe / ' The letter is accompanied by a printed pamphlet , an appendix to Ram Doss ' s controversy with the zealous Athanasian , Dr ., Tytler . This contains nothing that would interest
our readers . The Doctor seems to nave left Calcutta , in consequence of having obtained a medical appointment at ftencoolei ) . The government may Jhmk that he is best out pf the way . * n the course of the newspaper controversy between him and Rarn Doss .
