No. X.
The next thing worthy of notice, in the report
df the committee, ia thu.t stated :—*• It sUo ap
pears to your committee, that in order to remedy
the inconvenience of not being paid regularly,
tonie of the artificers, during the Lst session,
had a memorial prepared, intended to be presen
ted to the Legislature, in which they stated the
fact of not being paid wli^n the money became
due, and the consequent injury which resulted to
them—agaiast any of the officers, it contained
iio imputation, and was couched in respectful
terms, towards the superintendent. The officers
appeared much displeased with the artificers con
cerned, when it came to their knowledge t and
intimations were thrown out by both the Master
Armorers, that if the memorial was presented,
those who had Signed it, would be discharged :
Some of the artificers, it* consequence thereof,
withdrew their names, it appeared also, that
the superintendent proposed to one of the artifi*
cera, that he would procure him the appointment
of master armorer, to fill a vacancy then expec
ted, if he would use his influence to procure a
Counter-memorial.”
In refutation of this calumny, it is necessary
that 1 should make the explanations which fol
low, to wit: The materials and component parts
of arms, were delivered out to the artificers,
monthly, to be returned by them manufactured
.at the end of each mouth. By experience it was
found expedient to adopt as a rule, that one
Month’s pay lor each artificer, should !>• kept in
arrear, as a pledge for the safe return of all the
articles of public property put into his hands to
be manufactured. This was a regulation which
understood was complained of by any ar
tificer who was well disposed i indeed it was
intended only for those of an opposite character.
1 have also to observe, that it has been the case
•very summer, I btfieYe, since the armory went
into operation, that the mificera could apt ob
tain their pay, owing to the want of money in the
{lublic treasury, and it was for the purpose of get
ting their money ss soon as it was due, (as 1 was
Informed, for I had not seen the paper,) that the
Memorial in question, was intended to be presen
ted tn the Legislature. The officers as well as
the artificers, often had cause to complain that
they coirtd not receive their pay, in consequence
o. the emptiness of the treasury How then
could it happen, as the committee have stated,
that " ths officers were much displeasedin rela
tion to that manorial ? They might have been
displeased at the disorderly conduct of some of
the artificers, which was not nnfrequently the
case; but'lie memorial gave no cause for dis
pleasure ; nor did I hear either of the master ar
tnorers or the clerk, express a wish that the me
morial should not be presented. But it is stated
that I 'proposed to one of the artificers, that J would
proeure him the appointment of a master armorer,
to fill a vacancy then expected, if he would use his
influence to procure a counter-memorial ” Ooss
this assertion bear the semblance of truth ? The
memorial had for its object the immediate oh
tainment of money, as soon as it was due : A
counter memorial, if it should have had any effect,
would have prevented it: What advantage then,
5n any point of view, could I derive from a coun
ter memorial 1 If the memorial had been pre
sented, and the Legislature had passed an act
which would ensure, that the money appropriated
for the manufactory of Arms, should always be
ready in the Treasury to be-paid to the artificers
the moment it was earned, would that operate in
any respect against me ! And if that act should
have declared that the month’s pay of each arti
ficer should not be kept in the treasury, as an in.
demnifieation of the public, for the articles in his
hands; would that have affected me in any man
ner whatsoever ? What interest then ; whet
motive was there to induce me to propose to o:ie
©f the workmen, that if he would use his influ.
ence to procure a counter memorial, 1 would pro*
cure him the appointment of master armorer I
An office which was not vacant, and if it it had
been, the Executive alone had the power to ap
point a person to fill it.
As to the counter-memorial, I do not recollect
that I ever heard of it, until 1 heard it mentioned
fin the committee room. Nor had I, at the time
ihe memorial was prepared, ever heard either of
khe master armourers express an intention of
resigning, nor did I expect a vacancy in either
©fettle offices held by them, nor did I ever pre
mise to procure it for any artificer. Let it be re
collected that the memorial in question, was
prepared and was intended to be presented to the
legislature during the session of 1808 and 9,
twelvemonths before this committee made their
report : but even at that distant period it was
conjured up, and made to appear in gigantic and
frightful form, by this wonder-working commit
\ Eee' . Should any perjon suppose, 1 was appre
hensive that the regulation we found it necessa
ry to adopt in relation to the keeping in the Trea
sury, a month’s pay of the artificers as a pledge,
as has been stated, was the cause of that memo
rial ; to such I will observe, that 1 adhered as
•trictly to this regulation the year following, as I
did the year before the drawing up the memorial,
*ni unto ths end ofmy agency at the armoury.

** On xny way to New-York, I met Mr. Ful

me that his object was to propose to Congress
the adoption or his ridiculous scheme. I conse
quently on my arrival here, bought his book ;
have since perused it, and am now prepared to
prove demonstratively, (and that too in Mr. Ful

the extreme, and that it cannot be put into prac
tice with the least probable degree of success.
** I'* book lie calls *• upon all nautical
men to show how ships of war could avoid the
destruction ofliis torpedoes.” On this subject I
should be glad to answer him before a com
mittee of Congress ; and in the event will pledge
myself to require their patience only one hour,
to put his torpedoes at rest forever. 1 have writ

SPOTTED FEVER.
With the deepest concern we announce the
alarim tg intelligence that this fatal disorder has
extended its ravages te the town of Carre. Be.
tween the morning of Friday last and Monday,
near seventy persons were attacked by this de
structive disease. On Monday last, seven new
victims to this potent adveraai g of human life,
were breathless corpses.in various parts of the
town.—The terror inspired by this “ pestilence
which walketh in darkness", can be more easily
i.toxg'ned than described ; as well as the distress
which it occasions. Seven cases have occurred
ip Rutland, about twelve miles from Worcester,
and the inhabitants of this place are not entirely
free from apprehensions, on account of its gradu
al approaches. It is some consolation to know
that rib new cases have occurred in Petersham
aince our last report; but in Oakham three pci
sona have died ; and there are 17 new cases.
This fever does not appear to be of the deaerip.
lion which the medical writers of Europe denom
inate the Spotted Fever. It appears to be ano*
ther kind of putridmjebris. The remote causes
ol this disorder are said to be, improper, or pu
trid diet, corrupted grain, a too free use of those
salts which dissolve the blood, putrid miasmata,
kc.-.riie Spotted Fever in Europe always, we
believe, makes its appearance in hot weather ;
the fever which now prevails in this country, and
which has proved very fatal in Providence,
Hartford, Moritclies (Long Island,) in Vermont,
Canada, Sic. always rages in the winter. Jt
seems to occur after seasons which arc unfavor
able to the productions of the earth. It might
; therefore be worthy the attention of the faculty,
to inquire wlieth.-r this destructive disease is not
occasioned by immature, crude and consequently
unwholesome provisions—The corn was, in ma*
ny places, killed by the frost, last year, and of
course, it cannot be so wholesome as when it ar
rives at maturity. We have lately heard of seve
ral animals having been killed by mouldy corn_
it may also be destructive to human beings. Eu
ropean writer* have given account! of very fatal
consequences which have resulted from the use
oi blasted, or otherwise damaged rye. These
-things seem to require investigation.

Extratt of a letter from Barra, in the county cf
Worcester, dated March 20.
“ While myaelf and family are in usual health,
(God only knows how aoon the scene will be
changed,) I devote a moment, to acquaint you of
the distressing situation of this place. The most
; dreadful disorder, the spotted fever, rages here
‘■ an awful manner, and in the country. In my
neighborhood, four persons were interred yester
day i captain Jonas Eaton, Edmund Hawes, Ur.
Burrows, and the only child of Major S Henry ;
the latter, however, of a different complaint—r—
Mrs. l'erry attended the funeral of her brother
yesterday, was seized with the disorder at nine
in the evening, and died at three thia morning.—
Mr. Perry is at this moment in a violent delirium,
ard not expected to live. Mr. Thompson was in
a very dangerous state through the night, but it
a little better this morning. Last evening up
wards of fifty oases were reported, and an addi
tional number to-day. Not less than six or seven
physicians from other towns,.are constantly hefe,
but not sufficient to attend all the sick.**
TSeven cases of the Spotted Fever have occur,

“SQUALLY,” IN LOWER CANADA.
A serious schism appears to exist between the
Provincial Parliament, of Lower Canada, and
the Governor in chief. The House of assem
bly, perhaps with an eye to the spirit of our con
slitutions, have passed a vote that no judge of
the Courts of Justice shall be allowed a aeat or
vote in that body. This drew forth the ven
gAtnce of the Governor, who immediately re
paired to the House, accompanied by his choice
grenadiers, prorogued both Houses, and infer
med them ofltis “ determination of again refer
ing to the sense of the people, by an imme
diate rhnolutien”
This Governor does not appear to be meal
lymouthed about the business ; and, while in the
act of dissolving them, he, with equal spirit,
bo* with rather more decency of language than
Cromwell, plainly fells them of their trangres
sion ; In ins speech on that occasion, he says:
“ The House of assembly has taken upon
themselves, without the participation of the o
ther brsnclies of the Legislature, to pass a vote,
that a Judge of his Majesty's Court of King's
Bench, cannot sit, nor vote, In their house —
However I might set aaide the personal lerlings
which would not be nnnaturtl in me, as to th*
mode in which this transaction has been con
ducted towards myself; there is another, and
infinitely higher con* deration arising out of it
wInoU l must not overtook.
