Washington, Jan. 1825. Gentlemen of the Committee of both Houses of Cong reus : The immense and unexpected gift, which, in addition to former and considerable boun ties, it has pleased Congress to confer upon me, calls for the warmest acknowledgements of an old American soldier and adopteij son of the United States—two titles dearer to my heart than all the treasures of the world. However proud 1 am of every sort of ob ligation received from ttte people of the U. States and their Representatives in Con gress, the large extent of this benefaction might have created in my mind feelings of hesitation, hot inconsistent, I hope with those of the most grateful reverence. But the so very kind resolution of both Houses, delivered by you, gentlemen, in terms of .equal kindness, precludes all other senti ments but those of the lively and profound gratitude ot- which, in respectfully accep ting the munificient favor, I have the honor to beg you will be the organ. Permit me, also gentlemen, to join a ten der of my affectionate personal thanks to the expression of the highest respect, with which I have the honor to be, Yolir obedient servant, LAFAYETTE. — QO&— It is stated (says the Savannah Republi can) that the Branch Bank of Darien, lately burnt at Macon, was set on fire by “ a kind of silver-smith.” The owner of the building and this man having had a tight the day be fore; and that he done it through revenge. —S©© — Theatrical .—The New-York Daily Ad vertiser, says that the receipts at the Park Theatre, were 1560 dollars on the evening of Mr. Barnes’benefit.

Ihe very high repute thea* Baths have acquired n Europe, where (although a late discovery) ihey are to be found in every hospital, and the ijreat cures they have performed in Boston, Pul hidelphia and Charleston, can leave no doubt of their efficacy. The mist gentle as well as the moat powerful medicines are administered by that means, without any pain, trouble or disgust to the patient. They are a never tailing remedy i» all cutane ous affections; from Psora, Ringworms, &c. to Scahlhead Leprosy, They also have never laded of success in either acute or chronic rheu matism. v In glandular obstructions, chlorosis, anasarcous swellings, incipient dropsy i in ad diseases of the joints, gouty affections, dispersion of tumors, ill ' cured syphilis, spasmodic or nervous affections; in all bilious disorders, dyspepsia, hypocimdriasis, epilepsy—these baths have been found most ser viceable, and have often succeeded even in here ditary complaints.
