E. .1,131 TH. . . This was 3 mataT which came before the. Court in a h m Master'* Report, describing a Mr. Har - vey as 3. p'roper 'perhon to be the Coturntitee of the Lunatic. . , Sir S;oiuut IlottltiCOr staled the- caro wth his usual eloquence. He observed, that Mrs. Leith Was a Lady Svb!), about f 5 bears ago, amnia into poi session of a considerable estate, supposed to be of the value of lour or '6OOOl. per annum, 'by the death of a brother,..wiio died in the :West Indies. She unhappily tell under mental derangement', and in the; case Major-General Hay, an Officer, residing in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, was - appointed the Committee of her estate; and Mr. Harvey was appointed Committee of her person. The" Lady way lodged at the house for lunatics,.kept by Mrs. Holmes, at Islitigton,Thn a stipend 0f.1301. per an num. SeVeral years etipsed, during which Major- Gen. Hay gave in no account of hitt trust, and he was never called on so to do by the Committee of het personi in consequence, it was presumed; cat trim e intimacy between theme, and it was not until 180$ that Mr. Leith, who %Arts one of the next of kin to, the Lady, iiiterfervd, and on his.mere sug gestion, the allowance co the Lady was raised Irian 801. to 1701. On application to the Cotart, Gen. Hay was removed, and ordcred to account tor his trust. At the same lime it was re:erred to the Master to appoint aproper Committee to tier estate. General Hay did not account, and a suit had been instituted in the Court of Session„ ,in Scotland, to the determination, of which emery possible impe diment twd been apposed. )The Master had report ed Mr. - Harvey a proper person tube Committee pf the rstate. • Sir SAMUEL ROMIL . LY Contended that Mr. Har vey, who had been so negligent in calling the Com mittee of the estate to account, ery unfit to be . placed in the same situation. Ir was of the first importance, that persons who fall under so heavy a calamity as that of insanity, should haVe all the comforts of life which their fortune afforded theM. If • their estates would. not admit di those comforts, they must submit but this was the case of a Lady ,intitled,to considerable income not placed in a com fortable establishment, but in a receptacle at Wing ten, where she was in the habit of seeing persons lkiely to increase her malady. ' Sir ARTHUII PIGOT said, that the estate of the lunatic was in mortgage, .and not produaive till lately, and that Mr. Harvey had no wish to have the controul of the 'lunatic's estate, unless with the ap•- probation of the Court. The Loin CHANcELLoa intimated, that if the Court of Chancery could endure that a Committee -of a lunatic could suffer fifteen or sixteen years to 'elapse without accounting for the lunatic's estate, and to keep her at. a common mad-tiou•ie on a stipend of ROI. a year, the Public ought not to en dure the Court of Chancery. His Luidship there', fore said, tha t he could not think of sutforing Mr. Harvey to have the care of the lunatic's estate. With respect to Mr. Leith being the proper person, there were some circumstances relating to an ano-• nymous letter Which his Lordship would consider ot, and in the mean time he directed - that Mr. Leith should make an affidavit whether he was the author of the letter imputed to him. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY afterwards stated that Mr. Leith was not the Writer of the letter in. question ; and he also obscrted that an account had arrived trout Scothnd, that Major-General Hay had been ordered, in the Court of Sessions, to pay 'all costs. It gives us great pleasure to observe that another edition of "rl Father's Tales to his _Daughter," is already called for. The amiable author of this ex cellent work appears eminently adapted,' in his qua lity of fattier and first instructor, to loan, at an early hour, the charaaer.acid mind of youth, and the Tales which he bas composed for his daughter are suclias cannot fail to be read with peculiar intere,t b Yl t oung.people of either who are sure to im. frum thou), Sound itiea4 of religion and.mo. 44:1.1:RIC"IN PAPEI?S.

I am persuaded they love their counrry, and would ,freely tisk their lives in its defence. But there is a set of men of higher order, who direct their minds and :talons, of whom I entertain. the greatest fear and detests. tionso being fully conviectd, that their career must terminate in the most fatal. ,consoquences, 111110.53 the moderate men of intelligence and property of that party shall unite in some rea , .onable degree with those who. hold fast to the wise precepts of Washington. Thank God, that change has already begun : and nothing but its prdgress can save the Ship of State from foundering.
