FOREIGN. ] LATEST Eicon El ROPE. From the New-York Courier and Enquirer. Extra,! Sunday, 1 o'clock, r. m. 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 •"' J »*■■*■> - f *>— i.—.. r vu. 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. Ifaly. 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 •Switzerland. 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 * ° Portugal, 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-, ish ship ot war, was intended for this mission, j but the Prince hastened his departure on account i of the intensity of the cholera, which is spread- i ing in Portugal. 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 nounced that, on the 9th of May, the Viceroy of Egypt sent orders to Ibrahim Pacha to retire im mediately, with all his army, behind the Taurus. A letter of the 15th inst. from Semlin, states that the revolt against the authority of the Sul tan in Albania and Bosnia has become general. 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 sa, unanimously refuse to pay the taxes. The Greeks of the districts of Verevia and Greneva are also in open rebellion against the Grand Seig nior’s Government. 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 tent, and in some places has been openly resis ted. 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. Haverhill, Ist of 0 mo. 1833. ■■— ' __ 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.” The Proclamation—Bloody Dili—Jackson —Van Buren—Jeffersonian Principles! Al lans ! j From the London Morning- Chronicle. j x/urcoiiiem,»oiary,iiie oiauo—j, .i,;..i.„ ,i.o ; 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 pi, here the mill-man sawing wood into ali varie ty of forms—there me sugar and rice planters gathering rich treasures from a bountiful soil— here the fisherman anchoring bis little bark among our rocky islands, and there the boatman floating hundred and hundreds of miles with bis cargo of knicknackeries—let one see all this in a short time, and shift rapidly from village to vil- JjUTS—aitcl he must feel that this of ours is no common tana, whose destiny n linked as cne, ! even prophecy will dare not pre-announce.” He have great pleasure in giving publicity to the following highly interesting letter, 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.
