it ho bust meant of preventing ivs attack,
'itt-J also the •Remedies to be employed.
Till* dir ease is epidemic; it is atmos
pheric, and 'appears to obey the «arrie
'tates as InflueSaa. Many physicians
think it contagityis, but in its recent ap-
l., iruace ill Canada, I could not find any
tactarto support the doctrine. Every
pci son In those provinces was affected by
tlib same . premonitory symptoms, via.:
pant in the stomach—a burning sensation
in the bowels, and a fulness or expansion
of’the abdomen. Tbese feelings were
Universal, and I muy safely say not one
versi a escaped, them. If then this dis
trict were contagious, how comes it that
fie sc sensations were general in persons

tdisease, at; who had not even heard of
i. f Contagion has never extended its
I power to such distance; besides, how cap
f*e-account for its appearance in Montre
al bet ire navigation was open ? We can
imptlle it to no other ennso than' this, that
easterly winds blow constantly for forty
ditvs towards Quebec, and consequently
tli tainted atmosphere of Europe-arrived
a nur shores.
Pho question most intoresting to us is
shall wo be visited by this disorder? It
my decided opinion that it is now in out-
city, Mini horn two cases which I Irnvo ibis

tion w placed beyond dispute. I think it

J citizens, for if we look to England and
oilier places, we find ihnt where prejtara-
iuoo were made, the malady was disarmed
,/ its great os t powers. It U a very conso-
I (ltng fact,that ibis disease is not contagious,
, fur it will not prevent those kind oQices
(which tli* sick so Urgently require. No

which muy be demanded. Besides this,

ttie vattse of many dentils. A perfect
bocdlrssttr ss of the disease is the greatest
• ;>y. Wliat are the best means of
preventing ttie attack? I would soy en-
tiro abstinence from spirituous liquors-,
using Port wino in moderation when any
symptoms of oppression or sinking occur;
, avoid all green vegitables and unripe fruits,
which are exciting causes; keop Horn the
streets dm ng the heat of the day, and
vn • walk in the sun Without an umbrella;
d above all, avoid Crowds and impure
atmospheres. Let the clothing bo flannel,
period or mode, as proper fur ij.io public
manifestation -of ibis -reliance. I could
not do otherwise-without transcending the
limits proscribed by the constitution for the
President'; and without feeling that t
might in some degree disturb the security
which religion now enjoys in this country,
in its complete separation from the poli
tical concerns of the general government.
It is the province of the'PulpiiB, and
the State Tribunals, to recommend
the time and mode, by which the people
may best attest their reliance on the pro
tecting arm of the Almighty-, in time of
great.public distress; whether tho appre
hension that-the cholera may visit'.our
land, furnishes a proper occasion iqr this
solemn notice, I must therefore-leave to
their consideration,.

By a recent arrival at New York from'.
Liverpool, the gratifying intelligence is
received that the Grey Ministry have re
sumed Office, on the premise of the King
to employ all the means within his control
to secure the passage of the Reform Bill.
This was distinctly stated by Lord Gioy '
in the House of lords. In consequence
of this annunciation of the determination
of the King, some of the Peers, violently
opposed to reform, declared that they
should oppose no obstacles to the success
of the Bill, inasmuch us the means by
which its passage was scctved, were a
direct and pnlpnblo violation of ihe con
stitutional prerogatives of thq House pi
Lords. Tito question of Rpform in Eng
land may now be considered ns settled.
