Our news schooner Eclipse boarded, yesterday !
afternoon, about forty miles east of Sandy liook,
the packet ship Sully, Captain Forbes, from Havre, -
whence she sailed on the sth ult. AVe have receiv. •
ed by her Paris papers of the 3d.
Under date of the 31st May, the Paris corrcspon.
dent of the Journal du Havre, writes as follows:
44 It is not without canse that the governments of
Germany and Italy fear a general explosion in their
respective countries. The administrations there,
instead of exerting themselves to allay the general
ferment that exists, and acting up to the opinions of
the age, seek only in a system of persecution, the
means of suppressing that revolution which is ready
to break out. A traveller who had just traversed
all the country bordering on the Rhine, has given
us some details on the subject, which shews the
height public discontent has attained- The ideas of
independence prevailing among the people, and even
the peasants are manifest in the election of mem
bers ol the liberal party for the legislative bodies
now again called together. The parliamentary op.
position expected by the High Diet from this source
is considered so dangerous that deliberations have
already been held at Frankfort, for the purpose of
considering on the means of giving military aid to
iladcni and Wurtemburg, in case these governments
think it necessary to dissolve the Chambers which
are new in session. In that case the Diet will issue
hisdocree, not ordering, it is true, an unlimited sus.
pensiou of Constitutional Legislatures of the differ
ent German Mates, but giving each government the
power to adjourn that action of the national repre
sentatives now so much required by the interests ol
these countries. This project, before being pre
aented at Frankfort, has been discussed at Vienna
and Berlin, and the High Diet will take it into con
iideralion on the return of M. Munch Belinghausen.
44 The situation of the Italian peninsula appears
more precarious than even that of Germany, for,
judging by the discontent which prevails in Savoy,
a general explosion will shortly take place. In that
country, no excuse having yet been found for the in.
troduction of Austrian froops, King Albert has hi.
tlierto had to depend on his own resources alone, and
he has managed so as to displease the army, that a
general mutiny has occurred in the Sardinian regi.
meats. In consequence of this military conspiracy
numerous arrests have been made. The court of
Turin, alarmed by the turn things have taken, would
nave no objection to receive some Austrian auxilia
ries in the country; but the French cabinet have
received information that negotiations were on foul
lor this purpose, had strongly opposed it, ami declar
ed that France would send into the Sardinian terri
tory us many troops as they received there (tbm
Austr a.”
Wc add all the item3 of inierest we find in
the Paris Journals,
Avery serious disturbance took place a , c „
days ago at Boveg, near Amiens. On the morn
ing of the23d ult. a considerable mob was form
ed with a view to oppose the removal of the rec
tor of that parish, who had been denounced to
the Archbishop. The rector himself lad suc
ceeded in inducing the crowd to disperse, when
a national guard suddenly made its appearance
in arms, fie was soon followed by some others.
The mob was again formed, and a struggle en
sued, which was neithar long nor bloody, but
the National Guards were compelled to yield.
Towards the middle of the day. the Gendarmes,
which had been sent for by the Mayor, arrived
front Alarms • and about 8 in the evening, five I
persons who had been arrested were sent off for j
Amiens with handcuffs. At the sight of the!
irons, the indignation ol the populace rose to its i
highest pitch. The escort was assailed by a j
show or of stones, the leader of the squadron was |
struck on the head and thrown from his horse, I

Lend arms were obliged to yield to numbers and
abandon their charge. In the night, Boveg was
surrounded by a detachment of the garrison of
Ameins, and at day-break, 12 prisoners were se
cured without resistance.

A. letter from Chamberry, dated the 20th ult.
“ Ail order of the day has been posted up at all i
•ho military stations, announcing the existence!
of a plot for a general insurrection throughout j
Piedmont, and republican conspiracy at Avignon, I
Lyons, and Grenoble, It is also rumored that!
the Polish relugees who have emigrated into I
•Switzerland, were to support the commotion, and i
that Chamberry was to be the centre of a revolu
tionary government, which was to act on the Sar-1
dinian States, franco, and the French parts of

Holland and Hclgiiiin.
The Courier Francais, alluding to the treaty j
concluded between England, France, and Hol
land, 6ays 44 King William of Holland lias the
—wr Havingcnrani r ranee andLngiand
to yield. The negotiators of the provisional trea- i
ty have been obliged to relinquish the Convention j
of London, concluded in October, 1832, for the [
execution of which the French army was set in 1
motion, and the squadrons of France and Kng- 1
land fitted out—a Convention, which King H'ill
liam refused to recognize, even after the capture
of the citadel of Antwerp. /Filliam, in spite of
France and England, has kept and still keeps,
1* orts Lillo and Lit kcnskock. The garrison of
the citadel was not to have been given up hut in
exchange for these two forts. The garrison, how
ever, returns home, but the forts remain in the
hands of the Dutch. As William would not
give way, I* ranee and England leave given way
to him. The provisional treaty leaves Lelgiurn
in the precarious state in which William has
thought proper to place her, occupying territory }
wliich she cannot keep, and not occupying all the
points belonging to her; not acknowledged as an
independent State by a government, whose ac
knowledgment would be of the utmost impor
tance; without fixed boundaries; and possessed
ol nothing that constitutes stability, inspires
confidence,, or insures the future happiness of a !
country. Three years of proto-ols, two cam
paigns by the French, an expedition of the combi-'
ned squadrons, between forty and fifty millions j
sacrificed by 1 ranee—all have only tended to
prove the difficulties of a solid ami definitive
peace, and produced a patched up treaty, which
is not even founded on the execution of the famous
Convention of London! William keens the
pledges which lie held in his hands, and those that
had been wrenched from him are about to be res
tored. All this must be extremely gratifying to
King William!” 1 b * °

The last accounts from Lisbon mention that the
Infante, Don I arlos and bis family, bad embark
ed on board an English frigate, which is to eon-1
vcy them to Civil V eciiia. The Guerrero, Span-,

but the Prince hastened his departure on account i
of the intensity of the cholera, which is spread- i

Turkey.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 30th ult. con' j
tains the following Irorn Turkey :—“Two memo- j
randa have been published by the Ottoman'
Porte, the first ol which is intended to contradict j
a report current atL onstantmopje, ot the removal
ol tbs Russian auxiliary troops, in conseqnence
of a pretended stipulation with Admiral Koussin. |
The aecoad memorandum is relative to the pres-!
ence of Count Orloffiu the Ottoman capital, and 1
I is in substance as follows ; —‘The arrival of al
[Plenipotentiary Extraordinary from the Empe
ror of Russia engages the attention of the pub
lic, and gives rise to various reports, which the
[ Porte wishes to rectify. The succor, which has j
been granted with so much generosity onthe part
| of Russia, would have been of no use, if means
: had not been provided to apply it rightly. This
; alone accounts for a mission, which is an evident
! proof of the good understanding so happily pre
i vailing between the Sublime Porte and the Rus
sian Court. There are no other motives for it, i
and the public cannot be too tnqch on their guard
against the false reports of the enemies of the '
Porte, tending to injure the cause of his Higti
nes’s government. Convinced that the internal
differences of the Ottoman Empire will be set
tled without delay, and that order and tranquility
will soon be restored, extraordinary measures
will naturallv cease, when the conciliatory voice
of the Grand Seignior shall have been listened to,
and when the concession lately made shall have
been appreciated, and gratefully acknowledged.
A telegraphic despatch from Toulon has an

A letter of the 15th inst. from Semlin, states
that the revolt against the authority of the Sul

The Ottoman troops have been driven front all
the places they occupied in Bosnia, and all the
Turkish functionaries have been deprived of their
employments. The Servians from Vidin to Nis

Greece.
A private letter from Syra, dated May 3d,
states that the “Regency of Greece continues the
organizaiion of the country by Ordonuances, one
of which enjoining all Greeks.without exception,
to take an oath of fidelity to King Otlio and the
laws, under the penalty on refusal of being con
sidered as foreigners, has excited - eneral discon

MORAL.
A Happy Family.
There is now living in St. Peters parish, a
widow lady whose locks are silvered hv age,
hut whose placid countenance almost tempts
tlie stranger to contradict the universal appli
cation of the sentiment “man is born to trou
ble.”—That lady is Mrs. Sarah Lawton. The
sixth day oflast February was the anniversary
of Iter birth, and 77 years had then rolled by,
leaving upon Iter recollection scenes of picas
-Ihe morn was ushered in by sun beams, re
flected from the hoary frost, and thcold lady
whose pleasureable anticipations had not al
lowed an hour’s “slumber to Iter eye lids” du
ring the night, came forth in all the dignity of
age, and smiled complaisance upon those who
j were making preparations for the feast. At
| an early In nr the rattling of gigs and carria-
I & es ’ the neighing of horses, the running to
| and fro of servants, the frolics of the little
hoys and girls, the civilities of youthful com
| pauions, and the warm gratulations, of those
of maturer years, presented a scene of inno
cent gaiety, which even happy Mulberry
Grove had never before witnessed. This day
had been long spoken of, and the expected
dinner was the theme of every table talk.
With their best apparel and their happiest
ouailuo, GiiilUivu giuiiil VvlillUiv.il ami £: I cat 1
grand children entered the habitation, and ap
proaching the great arm chair, received the
maternal kiss, and the maternal blessing. She
wept, and they wept, she smiled and they smil
ed and the tear was the tear of love, and the
smile, the smile of joy. And having gather-[
ed them all about her she said, “my children, I
I have long anticipated this day, with a fond i
wish to see you all bclore 1 die, and now 1 i
feel that it is a little heaven below,” for alrea- i
dy had her children and grand childcreit been
making the house resound with songs of I
I’raise to Him, from whom all blessings flow;
and she continued “the I,ord lias done won
ders for me, he has given me a family eigh
ty four in number, and what demands my
highest gratitude, nil my children and grand
children who are grown, are professors of re-j
ligion, and not one has ever disgraced his
family, hut all co.’itributed tn the of
my life. Even those who have married into
iny family, arc also all religious except one,
and religion is the only thing he wants. My j
eldest and my youngest sons are Ministers
of the blessed Gospel, and two of mv grand j
daughters are minister’s wives; and till but 1
lately, 1 had a son-in-law, who was also in the !
same holy calling. My family is healthy and
happy, and they are almost all Jiving near me.
Oh! when 1 look at you all my heart is full j
of gratitude toGod, to think how I atn blessed ;
with children and grandchildren affectionate!
and dutiful, to comfort me in my declining!
years.—God bless you, my dear children.” ° j
She tin it directed a little stand to be brought!
to her, and upon it was placed a large family |
biblc and a hymn book.—Her eldest son,!
between 50 and 00 years of age, read front the 1
holy book, “and thou Solomon my son, kr»w!
thou the God of thy fathers, and serve him i
with a perfect heart, and with a willing)
mind : ’“if thou seek hint, he will lie found of j
thee ; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee
off forever.” And from this text, he deliver
ed with as much pathos as the interest of the
occasion called for an address that seemed
to reach every heart, and to make every eye i
pour forth streams of love. His youthful
brother closed the exercise with a feeling A:!
impressive prayer. Stoon alter the dinner was
served up, and forty-four sat down to the first!
table, all except one being professors of reli- j
gion. Ihe old lady’s countenance told ip lan-j
guugc more forcible than my pen can express!
the joy of her heart, as from the head of the j
table she surveyed her children, with the fond j
hope tiiat all those would sit down with her at j
tlie Saviour s hoard to enjoy the new wine in j
her father’s kingdom.—The younger part of'
this happy family then took the places their 1
fathers and mothers vacated, and it was in- j
deed calculated to till the bosom will) indescri- j
balile emotion, to see about forty bovs and!
girls enjoy the birth day feast their'aged grand j
mother had prepared for them—Doubtless
the prayets she uttered for their future pros
perity, emanated from her heart, as incense
perfumed with the Idood of the 1-ainb of God, i
and will be auswered bv her Heavenly Father,
when she is silent in the grave yard where j
her departed pious husband already bleep.-, j
One of the moststriking instances of the effects :
of a disordered imagination recently occurred in t
the vicinity of Haverhill, N. H. The following <
are the facts: '
In September, 1931, a worthy and highlv
estecrned inhabitant of this town died sudden- |
ly on the bridge over the Merrimac, by the ,
bursting of a blood vessel. It was just at day
break, when he was engaged with another per
son in raising the draw of the bridge for the
passage of a sloop. The suddenness of the
event; the excellent character of the deceas
ed; and, above all, a vague rumor, that some!
extraordinary discloseure was to he made, '
drew together a large concourse at the funeral.
After solemn services were concluded, Thom- i
as the brother of the dead man, —him-!
self a most exemplary Christian, —rose up, and j
1 desired to relate some particulars regarding!
the death of his brother. He then stated, —
j and his manner was cairn, solemn, impressive,
—that more than a month previous to his
I death, his brother had told him,that his feel
j ings had been painfully disturbed by seeing,
! at different times, on the bridge, a quantity of
j human blood ; —that, sometimes, while he was
| gazing upon it, it suddenly disappeared, as if
j removed by an invisible band ; that it lay thick
i and dark amidst the straw and litter ; that,
j many times, in the dusk of ti e evening, he 1
| had seen a vessel coming down the river, j
j which vanished just as it reached the draw ;
! and that, at the same time, he had heard a !
j voice calling in a faint and lamentable tone j
j—“ lam dying!" and that the voice sounded i
I like his own ; that then he knew that the vis-!
| ion was for him and that his hour of departure i
j was at hand. Thomas, moreover, staten that,
! a few days before the melancholy event took
I place, his brother, after assuring him that he
would be called upon to testify to the accounts
which he had given of the vision on the bridge.
I told him that he had actually seen the same
] vessel go up the river, whose spectral image
! he had seen in his vision, and that, when it
j returned, the fulfilment would take place ;j
] that, night after night he had heard what
seemed to him the sound of the horn from
! that vessel, calling for the raising of the draw,
( and that it was to hint very solemn and awful.
!“You all know,” continued the narrator,
j “ how my brother died, —that he died fulfill
! ing the vision,—that his blood lies even now
: upon the bridge, as he saw it before his death ;
1 j and that his last words were heard by the cap
s ’ficre was something "n '(lib’ cnrcumstance
| of this narration, —the church crowded with
i faces bent earnestly on the speaker,—the evi
[ dent sincerity and deep solemnity of the nar
•j rotor, —and the fearful character of his com
i muni cat ion, while the yet unburied corpse of
i bis brother lay before him, —which was cal
( culated to revive every latent feeling of super
| stition ; and to overpower, at least for the mo
j ment, the convictions of reason and theargu
i ment of philosophy. J. G. W.

POLITICAL.
“ Sign*,” for Hie I'nioii Parly
i , That fierce champion of submission, Dr.
lili S. Davis, has published the first No. of
imoJ, ,a K r ’a,! 1 S ?U e
friend as ever of the President; as devoted I
as ever to the Union Party; and he declares j
himself an advocate for the election to the j
presidency—(State Rights and Republicanism :
forever ?) of Daniel Webster !
This sounds well. It i.i consistent, at least I
* ith the principles of his party. They have j
Van Burcnized it a little, heretofore; hut a|
truer expounder of their principles at last ap- J
pears, and they cleave to him. Henceforth
we shall hold Martin not so good a Federalist,
as Daniel. The judgment of the Unionists!
is decisive. They know a Federalist, by in- j
stinct; Daniel is the legitimate King: so says
the hold Union party : and “doth not the Lion
know the true prince ?”
Sign the second is of equally happy angu-!
ry. One of the saints of the union party— 1
Mr. Rives of Virginia—ex-disciple of Mr.
JeflV-isuu—has had the honor of testifying (as i
the Puritans used to say) for the truth, he has
had his nose pulled- He has, therefore, deci !
dedly got the start of either Webster or Van {
Buren ; and is now, beyond all question, the
second man in the Republic. We hope he
will wear his honors as discreetly as his great
examplar did.
The “monster;” the “ruffian;” who per
petrated this “ incident,” was a certain poor
burgess, of the State Virginia, called Thus.
W. Gilmer ; who at the election, (just before
the proclamation) of the V irgiriia Senator, was
unlucky enough to vouch for Mr. Rives’ prin
ciples.
A third sign (and this is a truly portentous
one) is, the sudden, inexplicable return of the
president to Washington. To that place,
travelling incog, and with the utmost rapidity,
be suddenly came, on the 3d inst. leaving half
New York eclipsed, and all New England in
tears. —Colundriu Pelescope.
FROM THE VIRGINIA TIMES.
I lie Pennsylvanian, a Van Buran paper
printed in Philadelphia, under the controtil
of an Editor imparted from beyond seas, bus
filled up four of its columns, with toasts
drank in various places, in honor of Eaton,
Lewis, Hobbie, Barry, Gardner, Jackson,
Van Buren, and the entire Kitchen Cabinet.
\\ ith toasts so honorable to these worthies, he
lugs in divers exalted eulogies of the Proe
lamotion, which is proclaimed by these lie- ]
publicans to be “ a sun-beam to illumine the ;
/Hith (f Statesmen /” So much for the fede
rd lis m of the Jpckson-Vari Buren party. *
From this mass of prepared servility, we
cull four sentiments which may deserve at
tention. The first is :
“By Gen. George M’Onlloch, Ist Vice Presi
dent. Andrew Jackson, President of the United
States—The principles of his Proclamation will !
occupy as bright a page in the civil, as the vie- j
tory of New .Orleans does in the military history
of our country.”
No, Mr. Richie will think, we presume
smee he is acting with those who arc siqqtort
ing the Proclamation. Is he sustaining that
tyrannical paper or not !
The second reads as follows:
“By Abraham SRiiirly. Mania Ym Buren
and William Wilkins—Entered by the sover
eign people for tlie political race of the electoral
college in 183l>. With a fair start, New-York
speed and Pennsylvania bottom against the field.”
Does the wind set tbit wjy ? Alas, fertile
hopes of a Virginia Sen ior! Virginia refus
ed to be sold on the terms agreed to bv the
Richmond Junta ; and Mr. Van is now offer
ing a higher price for Pennsylvania. He is
destined to be equally disappointed in that
quarter also. The People of honest old
Pennsylvania will spurn the corrupt proposals
of the intriguer. His system of bribery de
ranged in every State, and he himself fast
. travelling to tho “ tomb of all the Capulcts.”
j Bloody Bill Wilkins cannot save him, even
' with the aid of Proclamation Jackson.
Hie third, and most significant, is thus
j werded :
4 William Shearer Van Buren and Johnson,
tree friends of universal emancipation, ever active
onthe watchtower of liberty; may' their great
tntrits be appreciated by every honest demo
ertt.”
“Universal Emancipation /” Will “the
seten principles” l»e good enough to tell the
Pmplc of \ irgittia and the 'South what this
mams ? Why does he put leading questions
to the Boston Editors and the North Ameri
ca! review in relation to slavery ? Does he
net know what will he the answers? Let
him put his questions to Martin Van Buren
acd the fanatics he is organizing to minister
to his corrupt ambition. Let him do that.—
Let him ask Mr. Van Buren why he voted for
the resolution in 1 827-9. emancipating such
[slaves as might he carried into Florida for
!sale; and why his name is now coupled with
|“ universal emancipation Perhaps his an
swers, if he will condescend to answer, might
explain the course of “the seven principles”
in regerd to the slaves of Virginia, some 18
monthsago. Does liesupport Mr. V. B. be
cause he is in favor of “ universal cmancipa-
I lion."
I “One more, and this the last”—read !
“ \V. T. Maeky, Esq. The Jeffersonian prin
ciples so closely kept in view by our present
| chief magistrate—may they be the text-book to
I all future generations.”

; time is fast approaching when the Tories may
! again become Lordsof the Ascendant. Well,
<ie will suppose the present Ministers out,
| and the present I louseof Commons sent about
I their business, the Tories, in office, and a
j majority of Tories returned.—lt is possible
! that the Tories, in order to quiet the great
) towns- and in order to acquire some populari
| ty at the expense of the Whigs, would repeal
j the House and Window Tax. Would the To
i ries at once remove the protecting duties ori
j Corn? Would they abolish all pensions grant
-led without an equivalent? Would they hon
j estlv enu’eavor to purify the Corporations of
the Country ? Would they anulizo the cx
[ peniliture of our army, to confine as much as
possible the payments to equivalent services ?
Would they, in short, display a tithe of the
..o.imij. pu.jn.se .... ,
Ministry to root out abuses wherever thev j
exist ?
If they fell far short of the public expecta
tions, does our contemporary suppose that
the democratic elements which, according to
the Times, threaten a downright overwhelm
ing revolution, will ho powerless against the
Tories? They might attempt to stem the
torrent, hut they would miserably fail. If
the Whigs have lostmuch of their popularity,
from a want of tact in one or two cases rath
er than from a want of sincere desire to bene- I
fit the public—if thepeople abuse the Whigs,
who cannot remedy all possible abuses at
once, and wisli to enquire before they decide,
lest they may decide wrong, will the Tories,
who hate (lie people, and wish to prevent all '
remedies which go to the root of abuses, be !
less unpopular? Assuredly not. They might
attempt to coerce the people—they might |
once more convey arms and stores to Fort j
George and other secure depots, with a view |
to strike at the great town population. Butj
tli s would only throw the whole United King
dom into a flame.
“The inst itutions of the kingdom shore
the dislike so generally entertained towards
the higher orders bv the lower.” says the
limes. It the hatred of the higher orders in
duces even a hatred of the kingdom, will the
Tories consent to sacrifice the higher orders
to conciliate the lower to our institutions ?
Wc yesterday gave a specimen from the ac
count of the meeting at Sheffield, of the man-j
ner in which the gentry of the country are
spoken of by those with whom the Whigs are
unpopular. The Whigs are now the objects
of the invectives of these people, because
they are in power, anti stand between them
and tlie Tories.—But do not let the Tories
believe that they are forgotten. One of the
atchievemerits c which the people at these
meetings dwell with tho most satisfaction is,
the driving the Tories from power.—Mr. (J.!
Alcock, the Chairman at the Sheffield meet-1
ing, said, “he would advise the people, at the i
present gloomy crisis, to act firmly arid peace-!
»>ly, arid they need not despair. They had !
before driven the greatest Captain of the age|
Item his place, by the peaceable exhibition of)
heir united energies and mighty power.” j
This conveys a hint, from which the Tories j
J derive some profit.
| The King may, as we have said, change
Its Ministers; but if his Mujesty were to do
st in order to be served by more popular
Ministers, by whom the country would be
tranquilized, his Majesty would find out Ins
mistake.
We have admitted that the persisting in
retaining the House and Window Tax, is
a great blunder, livery Ministry should en
deavor to stand well with the great towns, and
especially London. Opinions manifest them
selves in this place with tremendous force. It
has been deemed generally good policy to
keep capitals quiet. Bread used to he provi
u'cd at an under rate in times of scarcity, for j
the Parisians. The Romans were quieted
with distributions. Yo Ministry can afford
to Iw unpopular in London. A majority <>f!
the House ot Commons does not inend the i
matter. No argument, however ingenious,
wiil satisfy the people of the metropolis that
it is good for them to pry the House and Win
dow Tax.
With respect to the Corn Laws, it is ad
mitted that a change is necessary ; but Min
isters could not possibly have entered on so
extensive a subject with any advantage now.
They have already more important questions
on their hands titan they can do justice to this
Season.
After all, with the exception of the dissat
isfaction caused by tho determination with
regard to the Assessed Taxes, we do not ;
believe that with the middle classes generally i
their is any dislike of Ministers. By repeal
ing the House and Window Taxes they might
conciliate all who have any material influ
ence. Avery small number of people who
liavi nothing to do but to cry out, may make
a very great noise. We are quite satisfied
that the great bulk of the people wish no
change of Ministry, and that the present effer
vescence is more of tho nature of a family
quarrel than otherwise. Let it be only believ
ed that tlie Tories were about to come into
power, and the members of the family would
-non march against the common enemy.—
Those who deal out invectives against Minis
ters at Meetings of Political Unions, and else
where, are but a smalt fraction of the people,
and by no means represent the general feel
ing.
VARIETY.
The Editor of the Portland Advertiser, 1
whose letters, during a tour through the South
ern and Western States, have furnished en
tertain ment and instruction for most of the
newspaper readers in the Union, since his re
turn from that tour, has taken atrip in anoth
er direction. He says:
“ Some thirty days ago l was inquiring in Cin
cinnati for the West,and they said it is was a
mong'the Hoosiers’ of Indiana, or ‘the Suckers’
of Illinois—cant names given to the residents of
these States. Some thirty-five days ago l was
even there, and they said the W est was off in Mis
souri, across the Father of the Waters. I stop
ped some forty days ago on the borders of Mis
souri, and there the West was in the Rocky
mountains, or among the ‘Snake Indians,’ or‘the
Smackchops’ of the Oregon Territory. It was
the work of a dozen years to find the Rest—and
so in despair I hurried home to see where the
iiuot .as. Dui where is the Kasi t r.ven mat
is disputed. Ask a man in Washington, where
down East is, and he locales it in Boston. In
Boston it is in Portland. Here it is at Bangor,
and Eastport is the end of the East, but there
they say it is Halifax, or the Miramichi or La
brador. The truth is, our country of itself, with
out the provinces, is of such immense extent,
that the eye running over the map, taking all in
at one view, cannot understand its vastness, and
the unbounded variety of employments in which
men are engaged. Let ope see the villages and
townsfrom the Passamaquaddy to the Mississip

from the Reverend JOSEPH CALDWELL
President of the University of North Caroli
na, toChas. A. Pottlson.
■ . Dear Sir —ln reply to your enquiries respect
j ing my complaint, and the treatment for its remo
i val, I will briefly state, that I had been afflicted
I with the symptoms of stone in the bladder for
| about six years. For the last three years these
symptoms had occasioned me so much pain
and distress, that I determined to visit Philadel
phia, in order to seek medical assistance, and ob
tain if pos ible. relief from the terrible malady.
J I arrived t.u this city in the latter end of April,
I and immediately called upon Dr. Physick, who
having ascertained by sounding that a stone was
actually in my bladder, advised me to put myself
j under the care of bis son-in-law. Dr. J. Ran
j dolph, giving me the assurance that Dr. Ran
dolph had succeeded in several instances in es-
I tecting a perfect cure of this complaint by remov
j ing the stone, by means of the operation called
“Lithority,” in which case the knife is not at all
used.
This operation I am told, is now most success
fully and almost universally employed in Paris.
I cheerfully acquiesced in this advice of Dr.
Physick, a name I must think no less illustrious i
for benevolence, than eminence in medical sci
ence and practical skill. Dr. Randolph took
charge ot my case, and having properly prepared
me for the operation, he commenced it on the
19th of May, in the presence of Drs. Physick and
Horner, Messrs Kennedy, Coak and Henn. The
pain which I endured from this operation was not
severe, nor did either:lie necessary repetitions of
it occasion me so much inconvenience as to oblige
me to keep my bed for more than a few hour”s.
On the 23d June, Dr. Randolph performed the |
last operation which occupied but a few minutes. !
A lew days trout this time 1 found myself reieiv
ed from tho pain which I had previously suffer
ed. The Dr. now examined me very carefully,
and declared his conviction that 1 was entirely rid
of the stone, and Iliad the heartfelt gratification
of having this declaration confirmed by Dr. Phy- j
sick, who after a minute examination on the Ith '
of July, stated his belief that 1 was completely
cured. 1
I am yours, very respectfully,
JOS. CALDWELL.
