. ROM 1 HE RUSSIAN ME \ O-QUARTERS
AT KLEOZE4VO, June 10
I am under tlie painful necessity of an
nouncing to you that the Imperial Ktis
si in Commander-in Thief,General Field
Marshal Count Diebitsh fSabnlkansky,
suddenly died this day, at half past’ I
o’clock, at his head quarters at Klecze
wo Until his sudden attack lie had
been remarkably cheerful at table, when
at 2 o’clock this morning, lie was sud-
denly attacked by a destructive inalndv
wnich bore unquestionable symptoms of
cholera. The violent attacks of sick
ness overcame liis powerful constitu
tion, and alter a painful struggle, and
with manly composure and tranquil re
signation, he closed his brilliant and ac
live career.
Thir affiictiiig death appears to afford
an additional proofthat the above nam
ed malady depends mure upon the state
ol the atmosphere and individual ilispo
sition, than upon contagion, for hither
to not a single case of sickness had
manifested itself at head-quarters.

en irgrin caused by the dismissal from Ins

geneo in the use of intoxicating liquors,
appears to have occasioned the apoplexy

account the unforeseen difficulties by

s-time l y the sudden thaw, and afterwards
, by tlie various insurrections which cut oil*
bis communications. At the Fame time,

were his secret enemies, and by the Grand

: the news of liis dismissal and the substi
tution in place ofthe RussianPaskewitscli,
must have heen a finishing stroke to him.
Paskewitsch is said to be the perfect coc
, trast to Ins predecessor, reserved, cool,
! and sober. Delias hitherto only distin
! gins! e.l himself by his conduct in the war
against the Persians, ns Diehitsch w as on
ly known by his campaign against the
Turks. There is every reason to believe
that Paskewitsch, as well us his predeces
sor, will find in the Poles very different
warriors from tlie Asiatics.”
INDI \N DISTURBANCES.
The authors of the late disturbance
on the north-west frontier arc a tribe of
the Sac nation of Indians, who had oh- j
tamed tlie co-operation of a considerable !
number ol 44 innebngoes and Kickapoos.
Alter Gen. Gaines arrived in the neigh- j
borhood of their encampment, *liey peace- i
ably removed to the west oftiie Mississip- J
i*i, where a treaty was concluded witii I
liiein hy Gov. Reynolds ami Gen. Games, j
ol winch the following is the substance; i
i. By the conditions ol’ the treaty re- j
cently conehidcd, they are required to j
submit peaceably to the authority ofthe
friendly duels and braves of the Bac na- j
tion, and to reside and hunt with them !
hereafter ujion their own lands west of j
the Mississippi. Being thus incorpora- j
ted witii tlie other tribes, tlie whpH nation
! will become responsible for the acts of a
1 particular tribe, and thus a permanent
peace will be secured.
2. They are required to abandon all
j eoiimiumeat.'oii, and to cease to hold any
j intercourse, in future, with the British
posts or towns. A compliance with this
| provision ot the treaty alone, will have a
| tendency, in a short time, to disarm them
of any hostility towards the United States,
and to substitute for it that friendly feel
ing so desirable in a powerful tr.be of In- '
duins, hanging upon the extensive and o- ■
pen frontier of two Stales.
3. I’hey are required hy the treaty, to i
couii.ic themselves to the west hank of
the Mississippi river, and not to reemss j
to then - former hunting grounds, except ■
by the express permission of the President I
ot tin* United S.-tates, or the Governor ot i
the State of Illinois; by which condition, j
all future disturbance between this band j
and the citizens of iilmois, will effcctu- j
ally be prevented.
Cholera Morbus. —This terrible disease !
which made its first appearance, as is sup- j
post-. 1, in Asia, and winch has been trav
elling for years slowly west, till it has now
reached Europe, and lately made great
havoc m Russia, and latterly in Poland,
has attracted much attention. England
and Holland, have already taken precau
tionary measures to prevent its introduc
tion into those countries, and it may not
be altogether unworthy of the notice of
our government, to devise prudent means
to prevent its being imported among us.
Wo learn from a gentleman lately from
Europe,that during Ins residence in’Paris,
fears were entertained by the inhahbitants
oi that capital, that the Cholera might find
its way among them, many of the scien
tific Frenchmen laid turned their atten
tion to tliis disease, and some valuable re
ports were made on die subject. The
government of that country would no
doubt soon adopt, like England and Hol
land, proper measures of security against
the intrduction ofthe disease into France.
Certain diseases travel in a mysterious
manner, defying all luuuaii calculation
—neither mountains nor occean arrest
their progress—and, however improbable
it may seem to some, that this cholera will
cross the Atlantic, there is no certainty
that it will not, and therefore it behoves us
to use all salutary means to prevent its
importation. Should this epidemic, for
i -‘U‘ l> we account it—spread in England
or Holland, there will he more than now
ol its reaching us—vet, as it is, raging on
ly m the north of Europe, it is hy no means
impossible that it may find looting in our
i land.
In a late London 3 imos, wo find a let
ter, I corn I liomas I iopo, Surgeon on board
11. M. Hospital ship Canada, dated River
Medway, May, 1831 on the subject of
jibe I holera Morbus. The writer, says
! the I tines, lias lurniseed testimonials of
j Ins kill from eminent professional men,
and therein e he will not withhold liis let
ter from tlie public. We publish it f( in
! lull, as it may he of service to our faculty,
j in cases of cholera, which rt this season
(tithe year, are ot frequent occurrence in
j this city.
I request permission through your
| extensively circulated paper, to convey to
•In public my opinion as to the nature, and
euccesfo! practice in tlie cure of the chol
era morbus, lor more than 30 years witii
j uniform success.
I have published my practice in the
London and in the Edinburgh Medical
Journal, many years since \i Inch has Ik-cii
republished in the Edinburgh Practice of
Physic, but I wish the world to be mode
j acquainted with it, and lien with claim
vour benevolence and humanity to assist
' in administering relief to die thousand
suffering Russians and Poles.
The disease is induced by causes too
well known, and show itself at first by
violent pains from stricture ofthe gall duel,
j and is afterwards kept up by tlie liie untu
billrty oftiie bowel, brought on by the ex
coriation of the internal coat, from the t -
l erid or scalding nature o* the bile when
i first expelled the gall bag. This irritut.on
: keeps up the dissea.se till nature recovers
! or sinks.
1 never use calomel, because I have a
: more certain safe and speedy icinedy, dial
j produces an almost instantaneous relict;
i colonic! relieves by inducing a more eo
-1 pious secretion of mucus to defend the
* membrane from exessive irritation, w la re
it succeeds; whilst the remedy 1 reet.m
nicud affords a tone ami firmness ol the
menibane, a smoothness of surmce that
defends it from the action of the Idle, and
-removes excessive irritation; by which
| means the disease goes off as soon * the
| gall bladder is emptied of its excessive ir
! ritating contents, which is very soon ac
complished, as front three to live or six
doses complete the cure. The following
is one of die proofs of my assertion.
1 was a surgeon of the Dolphin in the
year 182A, between the iTtii and 26tli Ju
ly in that year: 1 had 2tii cases ot chol
era morbus, from which, with the excep
tion of sixteen being kept under treatment
• for about three days, tour patients deman
| ding attention for four days, and three lor
five days, every patient was restored with
in the space of fifty hours; one who had
been pieviously ill. demanded longer at
tention.
I persuaded the chief-mate to take a
dose of the remedy before the healthy re
maining part of tlte ship’s company lo
induce them to follow Ins example ; they
all complied, and to the best of my recol
lection not one of them had occasion to
trouble me front illness.
The remedy 1 give was—One drachm
of nitrous acid, (not nit rid, that has failed
me,) one ounce of peppermint water or
camphor, and forty drops ot tincture ol
opium. A fourth part every 3 or 4 hours
m a cupful of thin gruel. The belly should
be covered with a successive of hot clothes
dry : bottles of hot water to the feet, if they
e.ui be obtained ; constant and small sip
pings of finely strained gruel, or sago or
tapioca ;no spirit—no w iih —no fermen
ted liquors till quite restored—
I am your obedient humble servant.

As an article of news, wo give the ad
dress of Mr. Haynes tothe public. And
as lovers of fair play, we could not hes
itate to give him an opportunity of par
rying the ruse de gucre of the Athe
nian. It was rather a shabby mamru
vre and easily exposed. Without af
fecting to favor hiseleelioa at this time,
we take the liberty of saying that the
public and manly avowal of his princi
ples, do much credit to his firmness, and
| generally, they are such as every cn-
I lightened patriot mast sanction, howev
ler be may bestow his vote, in cfleeing
i this compliment to .41 r. Haynes, we do
not, however, wish to lie mistaken for
his advocates in the present election
eering campaign. He will neither have
oar vote nor our influence. We intend
to preserve the character of mere lookers
on, during the present contest; and then
if our old friends eat as off for our con
tumacy. we will set up for ourselves,
j and do business on our own account, in
| dependent of any party.
| Every tiling that beats to the tune ol
| nullification and state rights is at once
! harnessed tothe Car of republicanism:
I and all those who have independence
| and possess a love of country to guide
i them in a more consistent course, are
| branded with the name of federalist.
\A hat a dreadful denunciation! coming
too from those who practice republican
principles in such purity. Judging thest
men from their practice (and laying a
side profession entirely) we think 'Jo j
must have more definitions for the won
republican than can be found in Dr. Web
stirs big Dictionary, or in the creed oi
Daniel the “Chief.”
Our inclination to reply to such efi’n
sions has often been quieted hy the re
flection, that, if you only give cortai,
men rope enougii they will hang them
selves- -and certainly Ihc arts of tlios
who espouse the cause of nullificatioi
j are most excellent exemplifications o.
i llu- truth of tiiis old adage.
The exposition of that doctrine hy
J one of its prime movers, (Col. Hayne
jof Charleston on the Ith of ,1 uly cannot
I
jhe misunderstood. \Y'o hesitate not (<
say, that any man who advocates sm-I
doctrine is ns ignorant of repuhlicai
principles, as he is destitute of a just
proper regard for the welfare of lib
country. And we are equally confident
that certain defeat awaits the ealeula
tions of gtirli men. We feel well assn
red that the time for palming such sen
tiinents off as iniioeeut and harmless,
with lefleeting men is past.
It argues but li tleiu favor of the ju~-
tice of any* cause, which resorts to re
erinimination and nbii-e of others, in
stead of being defended by its own mer
its; and we have more feelings „f pjjy
than of indignation towards those, who
seek to destroy the reputation and good
name of others, by drawing off the at
tention of the public from the \x eojs and
tottering condition of their own elm-,
actor*. That the defenders of nullifica
tion should use such disgi acy!’i| means'
is not at ali surprising.— They feel eon.
scioii- that their cuSsa is a bad oue, hut
are too seif willed to abandon it. They
would sooner sink their opponents who
stand unsullied in the rectitude of con
scious integrity and uprightness, to a
level with them series, than acknowl
edge the error of their ways and retract.
For the present we say to those who
clianut such melodies to the high key of
nullification as my “Uncle Toby” <»j,t
to get clear of the buzzing music ofthe
ffv that was caught in his window, “go
poor devil, go.”
It has long been a matter of astonish
ment to ns that highminded men when
candidates for oflice. should so far de
part from self-respect, and a due sense
ol propriety ns to indulge in the dis
graceful practice of treating in order to
secure the voles of their constituents,
A reference to the Oath i t quired to be
in this Slate to qualify members
ofthe Legislature x\ill convince any
one of the impropriet y of such proceed
ing*. And separate from this, it argues
nothing in favor of the merits and qual
ifications ot those who will resort to
such means to secure an election to of
lice. It either argues an unfitness on
the port of the candidate, for the office
to which lie aspires, in his own mind, or
a most contemptible opinion oftiie in
telJigence and moral principles of the
community in which he moves. We
hope tin- day is not far distant, when
tliis practice, so revolting to correct fee
lings, will no longer disgrace our coun
try. 'I he march of public opinion is
progressing and is sure to correct this
evil.
