Legislature of Massachusetts.
GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. THE Constitution makes it necessary for the Legislative Body to assemble on the last Wednesday of May, that the two Houses may judge of the election of their own members, appoint their officers, and determine their rules of proceeding; and in case the full number of senators is not elected by a majority of all the votes returned, to supply the deficiency; and to make choice of a Council to advise in the Executive part of Government. Having performed these several duties, you will proceed to make and establish such reasonable Laws as you shall judge expedient for the good and welfare of the Commonwealth; and the necessary support and defence of the Government. But it has been found inconvenient for the members of the General Court to be long employed in the public service at this season of the year, and therefore they have usually postponed to the winter session such business as did not require their immediate notice.
The Secretary will deliver you a communication, which I have received from the Governor of Maryland relative to an amendment of the Federal Constitution; and also a letter from WILLIAM EATON, Esq. expressing his acknowledgements to the Legislature of this State for the resolution which they presented him at the last session, of their approbation of his services.
He will also deliver to you a letter from the Superintendent of the State prison, representing, that a fee wall will be necessary to prevent the earth which is taken from the prison yards from being washed away, and proposing some regulations for the security of the prison which cannot be adopted without the sanction of Legislative authority.
The Treasurer has transmitted to me a state of the Treasury on the first day of this month, with a request that I would communicate the same to the General Court.
Permit me also to recommend to your consideration the contents of a letter addressed to me by Theophilus Parsons, Esq. Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, relating to the compensation allowed to the Justices of that Court, and particularly to the grants made by the Legislature in part of it, which are not permanent.
By a Message to the General Court of the 5th of June, 1804, they were informed, that I should readily acquiesce in such Resolution for disposing of the Province-House, as they might think proper to adopt. But I have not heard that any measures were afterwards taken by the two Houses on that subject. The family who had lived in the house for several years, and with whom I resided when in town, have left it since the last session, and it remains unoccupied.
I have received a letter from Charles Turner, jun. Esq. who was appointed by the Agents of the Commonwealth, and of the Plymouth company, in pursuance of a Resolve of the 27th of last February, to perform the duties which had been assigned to Nathaniel Lewis, Esq. by a Resolve of the 15th of February, 1804, stating, that in March last, he attempted to run the Eastern line of the Plymouth Company's land on the river Kennebec, as far as the land of the Commonwealth and that of the Plymouth Company joined each other, and that he met with such opposition from the people in that vicinity, as induced him to desist, before the business was accomplished. - This letter will also be laid before you.
The Treasurer informs me, that the Directors of several of the incorporated Banks in this State, neglected last year to have the weights used in their respective Banks compared, proved and sealed by the Treasurer, or by a person specially authorised by him, in the manner required by the Additional Act for the due regulation of weights and measures, passed on the 6th of March, 1804. If those requisitions are unnecessarily burdensome, you will doubtless amend the act; but if they are useful and important, you will probably take measures for carrying it into full execution.
In a letter directed to me by the Inspector of Beef and Pork, he suggests, that the Inspection Laws of this State are very imperfect; and that some of the additional acts which have been made to regulate the system, have tended rather to perplex and embarrass, than to improve and explain it. This subject, I presume, will receive from you that degree of attention which is due to its importance.
In free States, where the mind is neither subdued by force nor awed by terror, even the appearance of unanimity is not to be expected. - But whatever difference of opinion may prevail among our fellow-citizens, we, as agents of the Commonwealth, have one and the same interest to pursue, and are bound by the most solemn obligation to pursue it invariably. Our constituents have a right to expect our warmest zeal, not for the success of a party, but for the public good. You Gentlemen, I trust, will have this object constantly in view, and instead of consulting private interest, or gratifying partiality or resentment, will be ready to agree in all cases where the general welfare of the State is concerned. - Such an example in the Legislature will have the happiest tendency in every part of the Commonwealth to abate the fervor of political dissensions, and prevent or repress those internal feuds, which, if long continued, admit of no reconciliation; and which in other countries have proved fatal to almost every free Government.
CALEB STRONG. June 17, 1806. [The Speech was committed, in the Senate, to the Hon. Messrs. Hill, Gore and Da-
na; - and in the House, to Messrs. Story, Livermore, Bangs, Sullivan, and King, to prepare and report suitable answers.]
ANSWER
Of the Senate to the Speech of the Governor.
May it please your Excellency, The Senate have received the Address which your Excellency has been pleased to make to both branches of the Legislature, with that respect and consideration which is due to the First Magistrate of a free people.
Having organized the Government, according to the Constitution, we believe it will not be expected by our constituents that we should continue longer in session than may be found necessary to complete such laws as their immediate welfare shall require.
In a State, like our own, where free discussions of public measures are cherished by the Constitution, perfect unanimity is not to be expected; but if such discussions have at any time been directed by party zeal, or selfish motives, we have the satisfaction to believe, that even then they have tended to prove the correctness of its principles.
While we agree with your Excellency, that "whatever differences of opinion may prevail among our fellow citizens, we, as agents of the Commonwealth, have one and the same interest to pursue," we cannot for a moment relinquish the fond hope, that no considerations of party politics will twerve the Legislature of Massachusetts from that path which leads to the perpetuation of our Constitution and the confidence of our fellow citizens.
The several subjects mentioned in your Excellency's communication, shall receive our particular attention, and we shall cheerfully co-operate in affording that dispatch to the business of the session which the public good requires.
ANSWER
Of the House of Representatives to the Speech of His Excellency the Governor.
May it please your Excellency,
THE House of Representatives have received with pleasure, the communications of your Excellency, and will give them a prompt and deliberate consideration. The present session has been hitherto chiefly devoted to the organization of the Government, and this being accomplished, it seems inexpedient to prolong it, unless the pressure of the public service requires. In the exercise of the constitutional power of the two branches of the Legislature, respecting the returns and election of a Chief Magistrate, various questions of great importance have arisen, and occasioned much deliberation, in order that such decisions might be made as comport with the true principles of our government and the permanent interests of the people.
Differences of political opinion unavoidably flow from the free exercise of the understanding, and are intimately connected with the nature of Republican institutions. When confined within the boundary of reason they may be considered as salutary, by awakening a spirit of inquiry, and diffusing a sentiment of toleration. But the interest and tranquility of every government require, on the part of the people, a respectful attention to the constituted authorities, which shall resist the imputation of improper motives of conduct, and on the part of those authorities an elevated ambition for the public good, which shall bury party animosities and private resentments. By a faithful discharge of the duties prescribed by the constitution, by an endeavor to promote harmony in the moment of political dissension, and by a sincere determination to act for the public welfare, we hope to merit the confidence and to promote the felicity of our fellow-citizens.
Blest, as we are, with a constitution, formed upon the principles of political wisdom, and with a national administration, whose measures are directed to the honor and prosperity of our country, we cannot fail to enjoy the benefits of liberty, if we are not inflexible in our duties, or careless of our privileges. Removed from the contentions and miseries of foreign nations, may we support the dignity of freemen, by a generous confidence in our rulers, and by an exalted sense of national character.
From the Democrat of June 25.
The Legislature of Massachusetts terminated their summer session yesterday. During the short but interesting period in which they were convened, the conduct of that portion, who hold the preponderance in each branch of the government, was highly honorable; they have conducted in a manner worthy of men possessing those liberal and immutable principles, of which they profess to be the advocates and supporters. Leaving their opponents to eject their poison unheeded, until their corrupt sources were exhausted, and the serpent of anarchy and misrule was writhing under its own folly and desperation; the republicans declined to descend to such paltry and disgusting expedients. Resolved to pursue those measures which were required for the common good, they were willing to yield the palm of victory to those choice spirits who were engaged in a cause in which constancy is often substituted for argument.

Foreign Intelligence.
LUBECK, April 23. There has been an attack between a little corps of Swedish cavalry and the advanced Prussian infantry, at Sedort, near Lubeck and Lauenburg.
COPENHAGEN, April 24. The Danish Consul in Naples has received a note, from the States Secretary, Pigatelli, stating that it would not be permitted for Danish vessels to go, at present, between Naples and Sicily, but that there would be no obstacle to their going to the East coast of Naples from there to take in their cargoes.
LONDON, May 1. Letters from Spain, state, that a war between that country and Portugal, is certain, and that 50,000 French troops are on their march to Portugal.
An article from Stuttgart of the 12th, states, that the suspension upon the return of the Austrian prisoners to Austria had been taken off; which would seem to show that some arrangement of the difference between the two powers (France and Austria) had taken place.
MAY 3. An order has been issued by the Spanish Government for removing all restraint from American vessels trading to the ports of South America.
The surrender of Cattaro to the Russians continues to be an object of complaint on the part of Bonaparte against the Court of Vienna. Though the number of French troops in Istria and Dalmatia is represented as not less than 30,000, and of course capable of expelling with ease the Russians at Cattaro, who are said to be but a few hundreds, the burthen of this expulsion is thrown on the Austrian Government, from whose hands alone Bonaparte will receive the possession, and who are called upon to expel the Russians by force, a proceeding which has a direct tendency to involve Austria in a war with France.
A letter from Deal states that a very heavy cannonade was distinctly heard there about five o'clock on Thursday morning. As the sound came in a direction off Bologne, it is conjectured that commodore Owen's squadron had begun his spring plan of annoying the French batteries.
A house of great commercial importance, in this city, we are sorry to state, stopped payment yesterday. The name of the house is Bogle, French, Burrows, and Canning.
MAY 5. The following is a copy of an official communication made to the Lord Mayor yesterday. It is dated from the ADMIRALTY OFFICE, May 4. "A dispatch has been received this morning from Vice Admiral Sir J. B. Warren, giving an account of the capture of the Marango, of 80 guns and 740 men Rear Admiral Linois, and the Belle Poule, of 40 guns, and 320 men, on the 14th of March, after a running fight of some hours, with his Majesty's ships London, and the Amazon frigate.
"Ad. Linois is amongst the wounded. (A true copy) "James Shaw, Mayor." The Paris papers acknowledge the report of the evacuation of the mouths of the Cattaro to be premature; and state the return of Prince Murat from the duchies of Berg and Cleves, and the arrival of the Batavian commissioners, appointed by the Chief Magistrate of that republic to repair to the court of France.
Admiral Stirling has left the Channel in quest of the French squadron. His force consists of the Glory, of 99 guns; Bafileur, of 98 guns; Mars, of 74 guns; Dragon, of 84 guns; Revenge, of 74 guns; Warrior, of 74 guns; Niobe frigate and a brig.
It is at length finally settled that the Earl of Lunderdale is to go out Governor General of our territories in India.
By a letter received this day, it appears that 27 chests of specie were landed at Weymouth on Thursday, from the wreck of the Abercrombie East Indian.
The Milan frigate, at Portsmouth, is fitting for the reception of Admiral Berkeley, to convey him to Halifax.
MAY 7. The King of Sweden, in consequence of hostilities having been commenced against his troops by Prussia, has ordered an embargo to be laid on all Prussian vessels in his ports. The Swedish troops are evacuating Lauenburg, and retreating to Swedish Pomerania, which it is supposed the Prussians will immediately invade.
The present policy by which the Prussian Government are influenced, has excited the greatest dissatisfaction, which is no where attempted to be disguised, and which the military are by no means active in repressing.
There was a report yesterday, that Count Haugwitz was to be sent to England, to endeavor to adjust the differences between the two Governments. A man more unlikely to succeed in such a mission could not easily have been selected. We do not believe the report.
PARIS, APRIL 3. The news from Naples has spread consternation throughout the English commerce. Some people feign to hope that the English troops landed in Sicily will be able to defend that Island. Such resistance would have the usual effect of British protection; it would only draw upon the country the calamities of war; but that vague hope is looked upon by sensible people as nothing more than a mere consolation. The ministry will not fail of their usual foresight; and we shall see that the English troops will remain in Sicily, till the moment when it will be time to defend it!
POLITICAL.
From the American Citizen.
MR. CHEETHAM, I send you for publication an extract from the Monthly Magazine of 30th January last: a periodical work of great celebrity, published in London. It shews the just views which are entertained of our administration in foreign countries, and also exhibits the contemptible light in which the scurrilous prints of federalism are considered by respectable and enlightened men who have no interest or concern in our political controversies.
"In most of our former respective notices of the United States, we have been induced to prefix to our account of Political Literature, some observations on the state of the nation with respect both to domestic concerns and foreign relations. Conceiving that this new country exhibits to the world some rare political phenomena, we have presumed that the public might feel some interest in viewing a sketch of its situation. As every individual possesses the right of forming his opinions on his own model, and of decently presenting them to the community, we make no apology to such as are inclined to look at this object through a different medium.
"Having on former occasions represented this country as eminently peaceful, happy and flourishing, we find no reason at present to vary the description. Although the forms of party-rage may sometimes ruffle and deform the surface of society, we are persuaded that the most enthusiastic republican, if called to exhibit in the most advantageous point of view his favorite form of government, would instantly select the United States as the best example of ancient or modern times to demonstrate the truth of his theory, and to shew how perfectly the principle of freedom, and all the blessings of social life, may conspire, under that system of organization, to render a community happy and secure. It is not possible for human affairs to exhibit a more pleasing aspect than the present political condition of the United States. At peace with all the world (excepting the Tripolitan war, which is too distant and too unimportant to deserve notice here) there is every probability of a long lapse of time taking place before this peace can suffer any interruption. The natural and moral causes which lead nations into war in other parts of the world, either do not exist in this country, or exist in such little force as scarcely to produce any effect.
"The re-election of Mr. JEFFERSON to the office of President of the United States, and of Mr. CLINTON to that of Vice-President, which took place early in the present year, exhibited so near an approach to unanimity as to excite much surprise. No doubt was entertained of the present system of administration being acceptable to a large majority of the nation. But after such active and unwearied efforts on the part of the opposition to calumniate that system, it was hardly to be expected that so small a portion of the people would suffer themselves to be led astray by them from their best interests.
"The licentiousness of the presses employed in opposition to the present Administration has been carried to such an excess of violence and malignity, as totally to defeat the designs of those who conducted them. Truth may be obscured to a certain point, but must not be too tragically misrepresented and insulted by those who mean to deceive. A weak and absurd degree of virulence has in this case not only defeated its own purposes, but, by rallying the friends, and exposing the arts and designs of the enemies of the existing government, has done it real and lasting service.
"It would be unnecessary at present to reiterate the observations which have been formerly made to evince the prosperous situation and brilliant prospects of the United States. All the sources of opulence, security, independence, and power which have been heretofore noticed are still abundant and inexhaustible; and new ones are constantly opening, which promise to surpass the old in exuberance. Leaving it, therefore, to the voice of facts, to the confidence and affections of the people, and to the award of posterity, to bestow a due tribute of praise on the present system of political measures, we proceed to the details of political literature."
So far respecting the administration. The same number contains the following judicious remarks on "Democracy Unveiled." The London writer makes a correct estimate of the abilities of FESSENDEN. "An American edition, considerably augmented and improved, of "Terrible Tragedy," &c. by CHRISTOPHER CAUSTICK, &c. has not long since issued from the press. This performance has had a good deal of circulation, and by many of the shallower order of readers has been much admired. There are undoubtedly some things in it which are pleasant and amusing; but it is also true that the author often attempts to ridicule persons and things which are entitled to the highest veneration.
As an imitation of Hudibras, we cannot prevail on ourselves to think highly of this publication.
As an original writer, Butler may claim distinguished rank. But such stuff as he works, however learned and far fetched, is formed into shapes so gross and ill favored, so vulgar and disgusting, as, in spite of the merriment he excites, speedily to become offensive and loathsome. What then shall we say of the imitators of this gross and naucous original? To make verses of this kind is one of the lowest orders of intellectual employment: it is so easy, that every vulgar rhymester can perform as much of it as he chooses at pleasure.
"But a later performance, by the same writer, which he entitles "Democracy Unveiled, or Tyranny Triumphant" of the Gabb of Pantiotum," deserves to be dignified by much severer terms of disapprobation. In this every vile fabrication, every malicious slander which the ranter of party had been for years employed in taking together against the present administration of the American Government, is collected and coloured with new tints of malignity. What the meanest and most unprincipled tools of party must have shrunk from undertaking, this man has executed, and that too apparently with more; and he seems to be perfectly at home in the task."
The many predictions of the subversion of the present Government of the United States, have been uttered undoubtedly more from the wishes of many men, than any evidence of the weakness of it. But the best principles depend upon the means with which they are supported, for their success. The friends of our Government would have every evil to fear in the best cause from disunion. But the increasing union is such firm strength to a good cause, that society can have no better, and the best principles never can ask higher support from any means under heaven. While this union continues to increase, we may laugh at all the prejudices, and predictions of disappointed men. We become safe at home and honorable abroad. We can command all the resources of character, and therefore all the riches of our strength. Powerful at home, we shall negotiate with honor, and the nation that dares to be an aggressor, will meet the resistance, not of a party, but of the people. —Salem Register.
BY THE MAILS.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) JUNE 7. The lev. Morning Star, Capt. Oldridge, of this port, sailed from hence on the 10th ult. for Washington, (N. C.). On the 15th between the capes of Virginia and Hatteras she fell in with a British cruising ship, which either carelessly or wilfully ran foul of her. An officer boarded the Schooner and impressed one man, an American citizen, with a regular protection. Capt. Oldridge remonstrated against his taking the man, informing him that he was short handed, having in all but five men, officers included, one of them sick below, and a vessel to navigate; but his remonstrances were in vain. The ship parted from the Schooner, and the people on board the latter discovered, that in consequence of the blow she had received from the ship, she leaked very badly. Having spent the night in pumping she was found to have three feet of water in her hold, and being then off Ocracoke, and blowing a gale, it was thought most safe to attempt going in, even without a pilot; but in attempting it she struck on a bar and immediately foundered. The officer from the ship refused to tell her name, or that of her commander, whose conduct reflects so much honor on the British navy.
JUNE 14. On the afternoon of Sunday last we were visited by a tremendous thunder storm. The nimble glance of the "cross cut lightning," followed immediately by the loud and reverberating peals of thunder, denoted the near approach of that alarming visitant. In the towns of Rehoboth, Mrs. Martha Paine, wife of Jonathan Paine, was in an instant changed to a corpse, and a man stunned, but not materially injured. At Cumberland, a young girl by the name of Morris was also killed. At Fawtucket an horse was killed by a flash and a man stunned, who afterwards recovered. In north Providence, two instances transpired; in one, considerable damage was done to a dwelling house, when the family were providentially absent; and in the other a tree, contiguous to a dwelling house, was much injured. No less than six instances can be enumerated where the destructive fluid has committed its ravages. Nature, on the close of the day, presented one of those spectacles of sublimity which mocks the rivalry of the pencil. The sun, clear and serene, was shining in one part of the hemisphere, while the murmurs of the retreating thunder were heard from another, and a magnificent bow on the skirt of the cloud expanded its radiance. "Mist, high and cool, the landscape laugh'd around."
TOPSHAM, (MAINE) JUNE 16.
Last Thursday, at about 20 minutes after 7 o'clock in the morning, an earthquake was distinctly felt in this place. It was preceded by a low, hollow, rumbling sound which, though considerably differing from the common report, was generally thought to be thunder, till the effect followed. It was a calm foggy morning, and immediately following the shock, a small shower succeeded. Those who had the best opportunity to judge, agree that it came from the southwest, and passed off to the opposite point. The shock was so considerable as to make a rattling among various bodies, in a situation to jostle against each other. Topsham is nearly in lat. 44 N. and long. 20 W. from Greenwich.
A good haul. —A Mr. Chase, of Newbury, caught at one haul, in the Merrimack, Five Hundred and thirty three Bats, weighing from six to fifteen pounds a piece—they were plentifully exposed for sale in our market. (Newburyport paper.)
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1806.
INDEPENDENCE.
Revolving time has brought another return of our national jubilee; and the 30th Anniversary of our Glorious Independence, it appears, from the preparations which are making, will be celebrated with unusual splendor and hilarity. While the Subjects of Monarchies commemorate the days which give birth to the Kings, Queens and Princes who tyrannize over them and squander the fruits of their labor—it is the honorable custom, the highest enjoyment of AMERICANS to rejoice in the possession of the first and greatest blessings of Man, the Freedom and Independence of their Country. [Portland Argus.]
The subscribers for the celebration of the anniversary of the INDEPENDENCE of the United States at JEFFERSON HALL, and the Republican Citizens in general, are hereby respectfully invited to assemble at the State House, on Friday next, precisely at half past 10 o'clock A.M. to join in the procession which will then be formed under the escort of the Artillery Company, commanded by Capt. HAM, to the Rev. Doctor BUCKMINSTER'S Meeting house, where an Oration will be delivered by Dr. JOSEPH BRACKETT. A general and punctilious attendance is requested.
THOSE Citizens who are desirous of celebrating the AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE at JEFFERSON HALL on the 4th inst. are informed that Tickets for admission may be had at Mr. E. Wentworth's Store on or before that day. No person admitted without a ticket. July 1, 1806.
From the Salem Register.
The Commerce of Europe is at an important Crisis. The English Navy, while it commands the ocean, can execute any orders which the national exigencies may require. Its power is controuled not so much by the naval strength of the Continent of Europe, as by the need of Commerce for its own resources. The French, unable to meet the English by sea have adopted many measures to distress the English Commerce in Europe. Blockades are the resources of naval power. The north of Europe, hardly relieved from the embarrassments of their commerce, are obliged again to submit to them. The present disposition of Prussia tends to increase them, and till open war is announced, even the momentary safety of commerce cannot be sure. Many reports arise out of this uncertainty. It has been said that the King of Prussia would take immediate possession of the Swedish possessions south of the Baltic. It has also been said, that hostilities had commenced. But at present the utmost uncertainty remains respecting the transactions of the North of Europe.
The affairs of Portugal are also unexplained. It seems clearly ascertained that no hostile operations had begun, and no late negotiations have been announced.
The recapture of the Cape of Good Hope has in every commercial view, been considered as of the highest consequence to the British nation. It is affirmed, that in France, suspicions have been entertained that the surrender was gained more by influence than arms. But no circumstances have yet been known which have confirmed such suspicions. The English venture to consider this capture as favourable to the entire reduction of this quarter of the globe to their dominion. The great aids which the English have afforded in the late discoveries upon the continent of Africa, entitle them to a reward. Africa cannot furnish the means of resistance, and should the English gain establishments on the coast, we might expect soon to find the whole of this at present unknown portion of the globe, subjected to our enquiries, and perhaps an attempt to cultivate it might find employment for the slaves now exported from it, in a manner more favorable to their habits, and less abridging of their liberties, and in the end that this might be a political cause for the abolition of slavery, or at least for the entire cessation of all attempts to transport men from one quarter of the globe to another, without any regard to their natural condition or their share of happiness.
IMPORTANT AND TRUE.
From a London paper of May 3. An order has been issued from the Spanish Government for removing all restraint from American vessels trading to the ports of South America.

From the Columbian Gazette. THE ROSE WITHOUT A THORN. I met her in the rosy vale, Sweet and luxuriant as the gale That breathes at early morn; With looks expressive of her mind, She archly said—"Pray can you find "A rose without a thorn?" And if I find the flower, its hues Glowing and bath'd in heavenly dews, What shall the deed adorn? "The best reward I can impart, "I'll vow to twine around your heart, "This rose without a thorn." On wings of love my fancy sped, To gain the prize—to gain the maid, Who'd long my bosom torn; With rapture sparkling in each eye, I soon triumphantly descry, A rose without a thorn. A female form void of false pride, With truth and goodness for her guide, On virtue's wings upborne; Where no rude passions form the breath: She is—let beauty add a zest— A ROSE WITHOUT A THORN:— The rose I've found in Julia's charms: The gem I'll cherish in my arms, And ever bless the morn, When she consented to be mine, And won't around my heart to twine The rose without a thorn. CLIO.
MAN, POLITICO ARITHMETICALLY CONSIDERED.
SUPPOSING the earth to be peopled with 100,000,000 inhabitants and allowing 35 years for a generation, it has been computed that the deaths of each year, amount to 30,000,000—of each day, to 82,135—of each hour to 3,442 7-24. But as the number of births, as 10 to 12, there are born every year, 36,000,000—every day, 68,569—every hour, 4,107 1-24. If mankind had not been doomed to die there would have been at present, about 173,000 millions of mortals on the earth; and in this case there would still have been 9,110 square feet of earth remaining for each man. Reckoning only 3 generations during a century, and supposing at the same time, that the world had only existed 5700 years, there have been only 174 generations from the creation to our own time, 124 since the deluge, and 53 since the christian era; now as no family in Europe can trace its origin to the time of Charlemagne, it follows, that the most ancient houses cannot reckon more than 30 generations, and very few, if any can go so far back; but supposing it to be the case what is this but 1000 years illusory against 4 300 years of obscurity. Out of every 1000 men, 28 thereof die annually. The number of inhabitants of a city or country is renewed nearly every 30 years. Of 200 children, no more than one dies in the birth. Of 100, one does not die during the mother's lying in. Of 1000 infants, fed by means of the mother's milk, not above 300 die; but of the same number reared by wet nurses, 500 die. The mortality of children has augmented greatly during the present luxurious age; convulsion and teething kill the greatest number of them. The natural small pox usually carries off 8 in every hundred attacked by it; but of 300 inoculated, no more than one dies. Among 8185 who die it appears by the registers that there is only one person of 70 years of age. More old men are to be found on elevated places, than on plains and valleys. The proportion between the deaths of women and that of men, is as 100 to 108. The probable duration of female lives is 60; but at that period, the calculation is more favorable to them than to the males. Married women live longer than maidens. In the country the spring is the most fatal period, but in the cities it is the winter. One half of those who are born, die before they attain the age of seventeen. The number of old men who die in cold weather is to the number of those who die in warm weather, as 7 to 4. According to the observation of Boerhaave, the most healthy children are born in the months of January, February and March. The married women are to the unmarried in the ratio of 1 to 3; and the married to the unmarried men, as 3 to 5. The number of twins born is to that of single children, as 1 to 65 or 70. The number of marriages is to that of the inhabitants of the country as 175 to 1000. In the country there are but 4 children produced by every marriage; in cities there are but 35 in 10 marriages. The men able to bear arms form the 4th part of the inhabitants of a country. An ancient register gives the following very mortifying instance of the brevity of human life, in an hundred persons who were born at the same time: At the end of 6 years there remained only 64 16 years " " 45 26 years " " 26 36 years " " 16 46 years " " 10 56 years " " 8 66 years " " 6 76 years " " 3

His Books and other articles are nearly all marked by a Boston Catalogue, but if higher in any instance than can be purchased elsewhere, he will deduct from said prices.
