declaration of hostilities against the Ameri

he did him the honor on the ad Feb. to ad

DALY "BULLETIN,
Or Health Report of the Conflellation.
vOn Friday night in a flaw of wind, the CoufteL
; lation caught a tevere cold, reeled and heeled,
and got into an awkward tituatiou upon her bot-
V torn ; her prefect, filiation has excited so much
coaverfatiou, that it is deemed ufeful to publish a:
, daily report of her health, as is done when other
great machines are deranged, in their upper and
Tower works. $
Some of the mbft learned of the faculty infill
that the constellation was afflicted with a disease
perfectly new and peculiar to America, cal led the
federal Rut, with which the United States has
been some time very much troubled, and thereby
exposed to extreme quackery and expence.
Monday, some very bandfunre cables were flap
ped in tire ufetefs assort to bring her to rights,
j.On Monday evening she appeared rather com-'
posed, and the report was that her disease was
I /the dropsy— but this was certainly nothing more
than a pun upon her fmiatiorf, having dropped
.' .frqtn her moorings (was she moored ?) and filled
, ^.with water-Ahis certainly is a very striking diag
# noflic. , • + •
r Tue^a, morning she appeared more fettled^ —
evacuations recommended. The family ' phyli
« Gians refuting alb external aid, are said to have
contributed to the aggravation of the malady and
brought gn a erifis.
:Tuefday evening, bad systems.
