PROCLAMATION
By the Chief of the Government
oj Hayti.
The numerous abuses which
have taken place in the differ
ent branches of the govern
ment, particularly in the cul
torn house department, have
obliged me to take rigorous
meafuies to reprels them. The
notices which I have given to
these haidencd and faithlefs
officers, have not brought them
to their duty; and my ktnd
nels towards foreigners, who
came to tiade in our ports, has
only served as an incentive to
their fraud.
It is therefore necefiary to
adopt severe measures, in or
der to remedy theie abuses,
which have deprived govern
ment of its relources.
Consequently, to put a Hop
to such dilapidations, I do or-
der as follows:
1. Every Haytian or foreign
er, convibfcd of having frau
dulently endeavored to land
or take on board any goods,
with a view to avoid the pay
ment of duties, (hall be con
demned to be hung, and his
effects confiscated to the ufeof
the Hate.
3. Every officer, convicted
of having lent a hand to such
fraud, shall he condemned to
be hung, and his effects con
fifeated to the use of the go
vernment.
3. Every person convicted
of having fraudulently cm
barked or debai ked, from one
veflel to another, any mer
chandize, fliall also be con
demned to be, hung, and his
effects confil'cated.
4. The custom house offi
cers in particular (and the o
ther ofiicers of the govern
ment] are charged with the ex
ecution of the present order;
and they (hall he considered as
✓
accomplices in all offences of
this nature, of which they
shall not inform.
The present proclamation
fliall be printed,read 6c affixed
to the doors of the different
cuffom'houfes, See.
Given at the head quarters,
at the Cape, the 30th Ja
nuary, 1807, the fourth
year of Independence.
Chief of the Government,
HENRY CHRIST'JPIiE.
By his Excellency, the Se
cretary of the Government.

Died, on the 15ih March, at
the house of captain Levi Pal
meq of Easl-iriat’uUtsii widow
M/.ry Starmw, relict ?f the
late Nathaniel Sparrow, ot that
town. The circumstances al
ter,efieg the death of tins woman
are deemed so important ns to
merit the notice of the public;
and it is not improbable they will
eyc'te to astonishment the medi
cal faculty, and prompt to indus
trious researches, with a view to
a cqrrect elucidation of this sin
gular medical phenomenon—
She was corpulent to a very un
usual degree; in her person and
housewifery, she was vary neat
and tidy. She never had any
children—during he greatest
part of her life, bad lived in cir
cumstances of competence. For
about one vear previous 10 her
decease, she had been troubled
with a difficulty in the oesopha
gus, of swallowing; and v> lien
she swallowed, t’nlter solid or
liquid substances, the effort was
attended with an uneasy sensati.
on. This difficulty of degluti
tion had. increased for scvetal
of the last months of her file; &
during the same period, was of-
ten succeeded by retching, and
a rejection of what she had swal
lowed. Medical aid although
faithfully administered, did not
afford relief. On dissection,
which was performed in the pre
sence; and by the assistance of,
1 homas Mostly, M. L). (late
President cf the Ccn. Med. So
ciety.) Doctor Augustus Ma
ther,both of East-Haddam, and
Robert Usher of Chatham, the
following was discovered:
appearances eifter dissection —
Or. laying open the integuments,
the stomach appeared considera
bly distended. On the left side,
were several hydatide3 attached
to the stomach on the outside,
the contents of which wer va
rious. Os some they were thin
and transparent; of others, oily
and glutinous &; the matter con
tained in one was purulent.
Some ot these contents were
fee id, whilst others were fret
from i ; or. The largest hyda
tide contained a dark coloured
water, about half a pint in quan
ta . A sch.ri us was formed up
on and round the left orifice of
the stomach, which extended to
a considerable distance. The
Stomach, on being laid open, was
found to contain ab;>ut a pint and
an halt of a y ellowish, unctuous
mucus, immersed in which were
two balls oj hair —one about the
size of a goose’s, the other of a
hen’s egg. This hair, some ot
which the writer of this article
has seen, ;s of a brown color,
with rather a reddish cast, re
sembling cattle’s hair ; is nearly
J of an equal length (about two in
ches) and on being examined
with a microscope, it evidently
exhibits the radical, and the
pointed end common to hair of
that description. In that porti
on of it which the writer has seen
some few hairs were of a darker
complexion than the generality
of them; Whence it originated,
or how it was conveyed into the
stomach, in such a quantity, are
questions which the writer will
not attempt to answer. At hrst
view, it may, perhaps, appeal
easy to the reader to solve these
queries; but after maturely re
flecting on the subject, difficulties
will, probably suggest them
selves to his mind, which it will
not be easy to obviate. It is,
certainty, a very rare occurrence,
and wiil, doubtless 4 give rise to
different opinions among men of
science.
Instances, something ot a si
milar nature, are recoided by
different writers, liupsch men
tions a tumour which was taken
from a man’s stomach, that con
tained hair and teeth; which tu
mour he has preserved in his
coilecti®n. ‘i umouvs similar
to the last mentioned have been
found in the ovaria—and Baity
mentions ore, (among others),
which he had hiinselt discovered
containing hair mixed wuh a
latty subaiance, and ihe body of
a tooth covered with the enamel.
I find no mention of any tuihour
