NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS AND SUBSCRIBERS.

We are requested to state, that an article will be prepared for our next Number, in defence of the Proceedings of the Serampore Missionaries, with reference to certain facts adverted to in preceding Numbers of this Journal.

Several articles already prepared for this month are unavoidably deferred among others, the Parable of Persecution-Excursions in Germany-Licencers of the Press-Fires in France-Commerce of Aleppo-and several Communications from India—all of which, however, will be given in our next.

The Title-page and Index for the Eleventh Volume of the ORIENTAL HERALD, which this Number completes, at the end of the third year since its establishment, will be given with the Number for January 1827. It may be well to repeat here, for the information of those who are desirous of making their setts of the work perfect, that the early Numbers are fast getting out of print: and that the number of copies now printed being no more than equal to the demand, the difficulty of procuring such perfect setts will hereafter be much increased.
