From the Vermont Herald.
Mr. ELLIOT to his Constituents.
LETTER VII.
THE first of Mr. Randolph's resolutions respecting the Georgia claims, is in the following words.
Resolved, That the state of Georgia were at no time invested with the power of alienating the right of soil possessed by the good people of that state in and to the vacant territory of the same, but in a rightfull manner and for the general good.
This is not objectionable as an abstract proposition; but it needs the addition proposed by Mr. Lyon, viz. "of which such legislatures (the legislatures of Georgia) are the constitutional judges." They, and not Congress, are the constitutional judges of the extent of their own power.
Second resolution—That when the governors of any people shall have betrayed the trust reposed in them, and shall have exercised that authority with which they have been invested for the welfare to promote their own private ends, under the basest motives, and to the public detriment, it is the inalienable right of a people thus circumstanced, to revoke the authority, thus abused, and resume the rights thus attempted to be bartered, and to abrogate the act thus endeavouring to betray them.
It was proposed by Mr. Lyon to amend this resolution in such a manner as that it should not justify a violation of public faith, and every honest man ought to be opposed to it without such a qualification.
Third resolution—It is in evidence to this house that the act passed on the 7th of January 1795, entitled, &c. was passed by persons under the influence of gross and palpable corruption, practised by the grantees of the lands attempted to be alienated by the aforesaid act, tending to enrich and aggrandize to a degree almost incalculable, a few individuals, and ruinous to the public interest.
Congress have no power to receive evidence of the corruption of a state legislature, or to act either as accusers or judges in such a case.
Fourth resolution.—That the good people of Georgia impressed with general indignation, at this act of atrocious perfidy and unparalleled corruption, with a promptitude of decision highly honorable to them, did, by the act of a subsequent legislature passed on the 13th day of February 1796, under circumstances of peculiar solemnity, and finally sanctioned by the people who have subsequently engrafted it on their constitution, declare the preceding act and the grants made under it in themselves null and void; that the said act should be expunged from the records of the state and publicly burnt; which was accordingly done; provision, at the same time being made, for restoring the pretended purchase money to the grantees, by whom, or by persons claiming under them, the greater part of the said purchase money has been withdrawn from the treasury of Georgia.
Congress have no power to justify the legislature of 1796, than they have to condemn that of 1795.
Fifth resolution.—That a subsequent legislature of an individual state has an undoubted right to repeal any act of a preceding legislature, provided such repeal be not forbidden by the constitution of such state, or of the United States.
A succeeding legislature has no power to repeal a law of a preceding one, by which the public faith was pledged; although the constitution may be silent on the subject.
Sixth resolution.—That the aforesaid act of the state of Georgia (the rescinding act) was forbidden neither by the constitution of that state, nor by that of the United States.
This congress has no right to say; and if they do say it, it amounts to nothing.
Seventh resolution.—That the claims of persons, derived under the aforesaid act (the corrupt act) of the 7th of January, 1795, are recognized, neither by any compact between the United States and the state of Georgia, nor by any act of the federal government.
This is not true in fact, upon a candid construction of the instruments alluded to and a view of all the circumstances of the case. At least it appears so to me; to the honorable mover of the resolutions it appears differently.
Eighth resolution.—Therefore resolved, that no part of the five millions of acres reserved for satisfying and quieting claims to the land ceded by the state of Georgia, to the United States, and appropriated by the act of congress, passed their last session, ought to be appropriated to quiet or compensate any claims, derived under any act, or pretended act, of the state of Georgia, passed, or alleged to have been passed, during the year 1795.
This would be a violation of public faith and of every principle of political expediency. By an act of congress approved March 3, 1803, a general appropriation is made of the five millions of acres, and a particular course is prescribed for the claimants to pursue in the exhibition of their claims, in consequence of which they have already been subjected to considerable expense as well as labour.
The United States never paid a cent for the five millions of acres, and but a mere trifle for the remaining part of the territory. Nothing can be clearer, therefore than that it would be expedient to quiet the claims. But the great objections which I have constantly urged to the resolutions are founded upon the idea that they are repugnant to the constitution of the United States.
By the constitution the states are interdicted from passing laws impairing the obligation of contracts. The act of 1795 created a contract upon the face of it, and if it be alleged that the apparent contract was void on the ground of corruption, the question must be determined by a court of law, and not by a succeeding state legislature, or by congress. By one of the first amendments of the constitution, all those rights and powers, appertaining to the States, and not expressly yielded to the general government, are reserved the states respectively, or to the people. The legislative powers of the state of Georgia alluded to in these resolutions, belong to the class which has never been given up to the Union. We have no power therefore to make any decision upon their validity or invalidity, or to delineate the sphere or extent of their operation. It would be an act of usurpation. Whatever idea may be entertained of inquisitorial and censorial powers, in relation to other subjects, there can be no doubt that this would be an assumption, on the part of Congress, of inquisitorial and censorial powers over the state governments.
Applicable to my conduct in opposing those famous resolutions is the sentiment of the mover in reference to his able efforts in supporting them. "It will be a subject of never failing self gratulation to me that I have done so, as it would have been of remorse had I done otherwise."
JAMES ELLIOT.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 29.
New President.—It is now announced in the Aurora, that Mr. Jefferson will certainly decline a re-election to the presidency. We had no doubt of the fact, upon the perusal of the article some days since republished from the Richmond Enquirer. Some remarks of the Aurora upon the subject are calculated to make a deep impression some where . Speaking of the re-election of Mr. Jefferson, it is said "the votes of his country, 162 to 14 prove the elimination in which his libellers stand with his country; and the love which his country bears towards him." Mr. Jefferson has certainly good cause to think seriously of retiring, when he recollects that the very same paper made the same comment upon the re-election of Gov. M c Kean. We were told that the slanderers of that eminent and faithful patriot were, on that occasion, fairly tried by the impartial people of Pennsylvania, and found guilty, by a majority of more than Thirty thousand independent citizens of this commonwealth—and where now is Gov. M c Kean!—This is, indeed, a solemn warning and Mr. Jefferson acts discreetly in preparing to be "also ready."
The Aurora denies the truth of our remark, that the dispositions of democracy have reached even the cabinet of the nation. But in the conclusion of his comments he implicitly confesses what in words he denies, and what we can assure our readers is actually a fact. The following are his mysterious expressions.
"We believe, however, that third partyism or quidjimhas had a potent stimulus somewhere with a view to the future presidential election , that failure two years ago may have but invigorated intrigue, for three years hence, and that a very short time will render it indispensably necessary, to the preservation of principles to meet the subject upon the ground and to awaken the people to the conduct of SOME MEN whom they have not been accustomed to suspect and who have been libelled by a moderation or."
Now reader, judge for yourself whether there is not confessedly a storm gathering, and whether it is probable that Mr. Jefferson is ignorant of the fact. At a proper time we shall say more of these "SOME MEN," who are so darkly aimed at in the Aurora.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MONDAY, JUNE 3.
Agreeably to assignment, at eleven o'clock, His Excellency CALEB STRONG, and His Hon-our Lieutenant Governor ROBBINS, attended upon the two branches of the legislature, convened in the representative chamber; when the Hon. HARRISON G. OTIS, president of the senate, administered to them the oaths of their respective offices. After which, Mr. AVERY, the secretary of state, made the usual declaration on their election and qualifications.
The committee of elections, reported, that the member of Bath was not entitled to his seat.
TUESDAY, JUNE 4.
The report to the committee of election, which stated, "that in their opinion, the late election of a representative in the town of Bath, was not duly made, and that William King, esq. the sitting member, returned as a representative from that town, is not entitled to a seat in the House," was taken up and a lengthy discussion ensued. The following facts appear to be proved;—That the meeting was legal and regular; and the returns duly made; that there were 150 votes given in for representatives at the meeting;—of which the selectmen declared, that Mr. King had 76 and was chosen;—That the other 75 were for Mr. Samuel Davis; That Mr. Hammatt, a gentleman of undoubted veracity, swore before the committee, that he attended the meeting; and positively gave in a vote for William Webb, esq.—from this we understand, it was inferred by the committee, that if the other votes had been correctly sorted and counted, that 152 votes were given in, and consequently no choice had been made;—and if only 151 votes, were given in, that the vote for William Webb, esq. had been counted as for one of the other candidates, and from the similarity of the christian names, that it has been counted as given for William King. The house appeared to be of opinion, that the return was prima facie evidence of the correctness of the choice, unless proved otherwise by sufficient evidence; and though the credibility of Mr. Hammatt was not questioned, that it was not sufficiently proved, that there were only more than 151 votes given in; nor that William King had not the 76 votes required to make a choice:—The report, therefore, was nearly unanimously rejected; and the sitting member retains his seat.
At noon, the two branches assembled in the representatives chamber, to elect nine counsellors. The whole number of votes was 337—169 making a choice.—The Hon. John Hastings had 193; Hon. Oliver Wendell, 193; Hon. Samuel Towne, 193; Hon. Nathl. Marsh, 163; Hon. Daniel Bigelow, 193; Hon. Ezra Starks, 193; Hon. Woodbury Storer, 193; Hon. Nathan Wilson, 337; Hon. Isaac Coffin, 336, and were chosen.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5.
A message was received from the senate proposing to adjourn half past 3, o'clock, this afternoon, for forming a convention, to make choice of nine Counsellors to advise the governor in the executive part of government, in the room of the gentleman who had declined accepting seats at the Council Board; and also assigning the same time to come to a choice of a secretary, and treasurer of the state, and Notaries Public in the several counties. The house concurred.
Agreeably to assignment, the two branches met in convention, to make choice of the Officers abovementioned: The votes taken for Counsellors, were 330; of which 166 were necessary to make a choice—the Hon. Nathan Cushing, had 186; Hon. Stephen Bullock, 186; Hon. Samuel Dexter, jun. 186; Hon. Henry Knapp, 186; Hon. Artemas Ward, 186; Hon. David Cobb, 186; Hon. Benjamin Pickman, jun. 186; Hon. Bazelel Traft, 186; Hon. Andrew P. Farnald, 186, and were accordingly chosen.
John Avery, esq. was chosen secretary, and the hon. Jonathan Jackson, esq. Treasurer of the commonwealth for the year ensuing.
An election of Notaries Public was then made for the Commonwealth: when the gentlemen, holding the office last year, were re-elected; and some additions made in several counties.
The rev. Mr. Emerson, was yesterday chosen Chaplain to the senate.
GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
Tuesday, June 5.
Agreeably to assignment, at twelve o'clock—the two houses met in Convention, when His Excellency the Governor, proceeded by the Sheriff of Suffolk, and attended by the Lieut. Governor, and Council, came in, and delivered the following.
SPEECH:—
Gentlemen of the senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I EMBRACE with pleasure the opportunity of congratulating you on the return of the anniversary, established by our Constitution, and the proof which your fellow-citizens have given you of their confidence. Accept the assurance of my regard with sentiments correspondent to those by which they are dictated.
Our obligations to the public are expressed in the oaths we have taken to support the Constitution of the United States,
and to defend this Commonwealth, and faithfully and impartially to perform the duties of our respective offices. It is incumbent on us, therefore, on all occasions, to support the constitutional measures of the General Government; in this our interest and duty coincide; for if that government is not well established; if it has not energy sufficient to suppress insurrections at home, and resist invasion from abroad, our security will be lost in perpetual revolutions, and we shall be at the mercy of every lawless invader.
But as the National Constitution defines and guarantees the rights, as well of the States as of the citizens, it is the duty of the State Governments to watch over those rights, and if they should be infringed, to make such representations as would tend to procure redress; thus it is probable a remedy may be obtained for any evils of this kind to which a State or part of its citizens may be exposed, in a manner perfectly consistent with public order and tranquility. A disposition to censure and criminate the measures of government is extremely prejudicial;—if they are good in themselves, we ought not to ascribe them to improper motives; and if doubtful, candor should incline us to view them in the most favorable light. But it was not the design of the Constitution that the Legislatures of the several States should become blindly subservient to the will of the General Government; this would be to lose the whole benefit of the federative principles, and would subject us to all the mischiefs of a complete consolidation of the states: Indeed such a construction might soon destroy the most essential articles of the constitution;—for if an aspiring man should gain a controuling influence in the National legislature, and should find that some parts of that instrument obstructed his views, he would propose, and be sure to effect such alterations as he should term necessary.
The system of National Government appears to be well calculated to preserve itself and perpetuate the rights of the people. The arrangements and independence of the legislative, Judicial and Executive powers form the best security, that could be devised against the encroachments of either; and as long as the constitution is unimpaired and the legislative body is actuated by a spirit of integrity and moderation;—as long as it shall leave to the executive and judicial departments, the authority vested in them respectively by the constitution, and shall patiently acquiesce in the exercise of that authority; so long we may hope that the national government and the rights of the citizens may be preserved.
But the experience of other nations will convince us that whenever the legislature assumes to itself the other powers of government, liberty is subverted. This assumption can be more easily effected by that body, if unrestrained by principle, than by either of the other branches: The Legislative is the supreme power;—the members are from every part of the territory; their number and influence will enable them, on frequent occasions, to excite popular envy and resentment against the executive and judicial powers; almost every man from a connection with some member of the legislature, feels a peculiar interest in that branch of government, and a strong prejudice in its favor. But instead of being influenced by these propofessions, we ought to reflect, that in free states, a change in the frame of government is attended with hazard, and that our only safety consists in a firm and inflexible adherence to the principles of the constitution.
The declaration of rights in this state prohibits an interference of the several departments; it provides that neither of them shall ever exercise the powers of another.—And here too an efficient authority is requisite for the protection and safety of the people;—for if the state government has not strength enough to restrain injustice and violence, or to punish offenders, our liberty will degenerate to licentiousness, and we shall fall into a state of anarchy not less debasing than a settled and absolute despotism.
In civil causes, the sheriff or constable is supposed to be authorised, by writs of attachment or execution, to take the goods of the debtor without any exception.—The humanity of creditors has, for the most part, prevented an undue use of this authority, in collecting their demands from their indigent debtors; but I am informed by a number of respectable per-
sons, that instances have frequently occurred, in which officers, with unfeeling severity, have taken the most necessary articles of apparel and furniture, and exposed the debtor and his family to immediate suffering.—If such cases have happened without your knowledge, you will probably think it reasonable to exempt from seizure certain articles which are necessary for upholding life.
Commissioners have, on several occasions been appointed, at the request of the Legislature, and with the consent of the parties interested, for the purpose of quieting settlers on lands in the Eastern parts of the State; in most of the cases to which their commissions referred, they have been able to effect an amicable agreement; but divers disputes of this kind still remain unsettled. The tranquillity of that part of the Commonwealth, and the happiness of many individuals would be greatly promoted by a speedy accommodation of those disputes; and I shall be happy to concur with you, Gentlemen, in any measures, consistent with the rights of the parties, which shall be calculated to effect this desirable object.
The operations of banking, while under suitable restraints, may undoubtedly be useful to the State, by rendering its capital more active than it would be otherwise. Petitions, have for several years been presented, at almost every session of the legislature, for the incorporation of Banks. If such applications are repeated, it will be a question of importance, whether an addition to the present number would be a public benefit. Many of the bills of other State Banks, with whole circumstances and management we are wholly unacquainted, circulate here; and the capital stock of the Branch Bank is seven hundred thousand dollars. We have besides in this State, twenty-one banks, which are allowed by law to issue thirteen million dollars; by their returns it appears, that the whole of the debts due to them did not amount to eight millions. If the existing Banks are authorised to loan a greater sum than the circulation can employ, the aggregate profits of banking would not be increased, nor would any additional assistance be given to trade should a number of other banks be instituted; they might indeed emit an additional quantity of paper; but the surplus would soon be returned to the several Banks, and exchanged for gold and silver to be exported. New Banks would not increase the quantity of specie, they would only cause a subdivision of it; and if they should be induced, from the of gain, or a disposition to afford extraordinary accommodations, to discount too liberally, the banks themselves would be endangered, and directors might be compelled to diminish the discounts so as to occasion very serious and extensive commercial embarrassments.
It has been said, heretofore, that the bank dividends were higher than the legal rate of interest, and, therefore, unless petitioners were indulged with new incorporations, the law which forbids usury should be repealed. A measure of this kind might be more injurious than any proposed addition to the number of banks. If money was borrowed only on a calculation of profit from commercial enterprises, the borrower might be safely trusted to make his bargain with the lender; but a great part of the loans in the country are to persons embarrassed from misfortune or indiscretion; by a repeal of the law against usury they would be left to the mercy of their creditors, and avarice would prey without control upon ignorance and distress.
I HAVE received a letter from the Governor of Pennsylvania inclosing a copy of a Resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth, approving an amendment to the Constitution, which was recommended by the State of Kentucky, and by which it is proposed to exclude from the Judicial Power of the United States, controversies between citizens of different States—between citizens of the same State claiming lands under grants from different States—and between citizens of a State and citizens or subjects of a foreign State.
TOGETHER with those papers, the Secretary will deliver to you a letter from the Major-General of the Third Division, requesting that he might be discharged from his office in the militia.—His request has been granted.
IN the present state of political disagreement, you can hardly expect, by the most upright and impartial discharge of
your duty, to escape censure. But whenever reflections may be circulated upon the measures of Government, or the conduct of its members, I hope and trust they will have no effect to weaken your attachment to the public good, or abate your zeal to promote the public interest. In many cases, you may be compelled from a sense of duty to disappoint the wishes of your friends, and in some, perhaps, to expose yourselves to the temporary displeasure of a respectable part of the community. But if the measures you adopt are just and useful, they will at length appear to be so; and you will then receive the best compensation for public service the testimony of your fellow-citizens to your merit and virtue.

Gazette.
PORTLAND, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1805.
Sundry Advertisements, and several other matters prepared for this day's Gaz. etc. are unavoidably omitted.
The sudden indisposition of one of our workmen, will apologize for issuing our Gazette at so late an hour this day.
In the article published in our last, relative to the Supreme Judicial Court, the name of Judge DANA was accidentally inserted instead of Judge Thatcher.
Oliver Bray, esq. is appointed to deliver an Oration before the Portland Lodge, at the anniversary Festival of St. John, the Baptist, the 24th inst.
The Selectmen of this town, agreeably to a vote of the inhabitants, have appointed James D. Hopkins, esq. to deliver an Oration on the Fourth of July next.
An opinion of the French plan.
The plan on which Bonaparte now causes to conduct the war, is, we think, sufficiently apparent; and our Government, we trust, will be prepared to meet the enemy on his new system—He will venture out neither with his fleet nor his flotilla in the face of the British navy. His small and detached squadrons can do us more essential mischief by annoying us in different quarters, and distracting our attention. He has men in sufficient numbers for any enterprise.—He values them only as counters, with which he plays the grand game that is to make him dictator of the world. When he has detached them for a given purpose, he neither expects nor cares for their safety or their return; all he hopes from them is, that they may do us effectual mischief. With this view, we have no doubt, Linois was despatched to the East-Indies even before the commencement of the war, but in the expectation of it. Upon the same principles that Rochefort's squadron directed its course to the West. Bonaparte has no expectation of making any conquests there which he can retain; enough is done if he can distress our commerce, and arm the blacks against us. In pursuance of the same policy, he will probably send a reinforcement to the East-Indies: he will endeavour to land a force in Egypt; he will then make an attempt, or at least a diversion in Ireland; and when we are wearied out with this varied and active warfare, the country drained of its regular troops, and deprived, perhaps, in part of its protecting fleets, then the Boulogne flotilla which has never been diminished or dismantled, but is increasing every day will seize a favourable opportunity of putting to sea, and the grand attempt will be made. Such appear to us to be the present system and projects of our inveterate enemy. In the mean time, we trust, that the nation, and the volunteer force in particular, will not relax in their vigilance and activity. It is possible, that our last principal dependence for the defence of the country may be on the volunteers. We trust they will remember the magnitude and importance of the cause they have undertaken, and embrace the opportunity which a favorable season will afford, of becoming as perfect masters as possible, of that discipline on which their own safety and that of the country, will depend.—LONDON PAPER, April 17.
Deaths.
In this town on Thursday last, captain George Waite, aged 32 years, a man of a mild and amiable disposition, possessing in a high degree, all those virtues which endear the husband, the son, the brother and the friend. His early exit will long be lamented, by a numerous circle of relatives and acquaintance. During his sickness, which was long, and at times and at times extremely painful and distressing, he exercised all that calmness, and resignation, which the principles of religion alone can afford to; the decrees of heaven he submitted without a murmur. To the surviving partner, and his aged parents, his death is peculiarly afflictive; but they must not mourn as "those without hope," for we trust his noble part, has ascended to "another and a better world," and now enjoys the highest happiness, in the mansions of the blessed.
In this town, Moses Lunt Morse, aged 5 years, eldest son of Mr. John Morse.
In Saccarappa, Mr. Nathaniel Winlow, aged 37.—Mrs. Rebecca Clow, aged 87.
At Pomeroy, Conn. Ephraim Ingalls, Esq.—Widow Rachel Atkey—Mr. Nathan Griggs—Mr. Daniel Goodell—and several others: It is said to be very fatally in that place.
At Weston, widow Abigail Marshall, aged 76.
At Charlestown, Mr. John Kelso, aged 35.
At Dorchester, Miss Mary Haley Bird, aged 20, daughter of Capt. Edward Bird.
Drowned—On the 1st inst. about two miles below Newburyport, Mr. Robert Lithgow Murray, aged 26, son of the late Rev. John Murray, of Newburyport—He was upset in a boat by a violent gust of wind, and sunk immediately.
Melancholy Accident—At Hallowell, on Friday last, as Mr. Eddy was launching his long boat, one of the rollers caught a lad's foot (a son of Mr. John Beeman); the roller went entirely over him, with the whole weight of the box, and killed him instantly.

Sheep Shearing. —We have been favored with an accurate account of the sheep shearing at Arlington, on the estate of Mr. Cuffis in this vicinity. The utmost exactness was used in the weights and measures, and the account is transmitted by a gentleman, who was present at the time.
BAKEWELL, the prize ram of one year old, bred by Col. Thomas L. Lee, of Loudon, and shown on the 30th of April.
Weight of the fleece, 12 lbs. 5 oz. Length of the wool, extreme 13 inch. in ordinary 11 inch.
Gross weight of the carcase, one hundred and forty pounds.
The extreme length of the animal from the nose to the buttock, four feet nine inches; the girt of the body three feet seven and a quarter inches; and the length of the fore leg from the brisket to the ground twelve and a half inches. The above dimensions, and gross weight of carcase, were taken after shearing.
It is intended to anoint him the present season, so that hopes are entertained that his fleece may reach sixteen pounds, the ensuing year. This method is very prevalent in Europe. Four prime ewes were thus lately bred by Mr. Cuffis from the imported ram, upon the improved Mount Vernon breed:
  No. Wt. of the fleece, 7 1-2 lbs.   1 7 1-4 do.   2 6 3-4 do.   3 6 1-2 do. 
A ram lamb of two and a half months old, weighed gross eighty-one and a half. Although these weights may appear but small when compared with the English flock, yet when the scale of improvement between the two countries is balanced, and the subject considered comparatively, and with due reference to the progress and means of improvement in each, they appear even respectable in the country the most distinguished in the world, and in which the science of agriculture and rural economy has been carried to an extent unparalleled. Possessing a portion of every climate and soil, we may hope in due time to rise to the pre-eminence in the rearing of useful animals, so necessary to manufactures, and so intimately connected with agriculture; the great prime source of national wealth and individual prosperity.
We are told that Mr. Cuffis has a wether on Smith's Island at the capes of Virginia, to shear upwards of 13 pounds, which will no doubt cause him to transfer some of his improved flock to that place, where a large range of pasture and considerable access to salt, have contributed greatly to improve the original breed.

FROM FRANCE. "I HAVE just arrived from Nantz, and embrace the first opportunity to forward you a file of Paris papers, and a few items of Paris news: Our passage has not been a short one; but, possibly, the accounts may be the latest direct from France.
"When I left France, the Toulon fleet had been out 21 days. Their destination a profound secret.
"Some warm notes had passed between gen. Armstrong, our minister, and M. Falleyrand, on the line of conduct pursued by our government toward the court of Spain. His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Napoleon, I have caused it to be notified to gen. Armstrong, that the Spanish government cannot, nor shall not, pay the demands of the United States at present. Disputes to this point, were brought in the Alliance, and forwarded to Washington.
From the Pennsylvania Hospital, which does great honor to our country, we have the accounts of the past year, to the 27th of the fourth month of 1805. The expenditures and receipts are given at 21,000 dollars. The legacies, contributions and donations in the same time, amount to 353 dollars. The capital stock is 64,000 dollars. The Hospital has also real estate, a donation from Dr. Rothergill, valued at nearly 1,000 dollars, a library of 1800 volumes, and Cheyette's preparation, for which an annual allowance is made for the medical funds. In an abstract of 400 cases, in the hospital, are 102 lumbago, 53 venereal cases, 42 of ulcers, 30 of fevers, 24 of wounds, 22 of consumptions, and 21 of rheumatism. Of the 400, 188 were cured. Of 234 out patients, 48 of fevers, 19 of wounds. Of the first, 38 were cured, and 19 of the latter. Remained from 1804, 80, of whom 33 poor. Admitted in 1805, 320, eighty nine poor. Received 107, 32 poor. The respect due to the immortal Penn, obliges us copy the following article: "Presented by John Penn, Esq. of Stoke Park, in Great Britain, a very valuable leaden statue of his grandfather, William Penn, executed in a masterly style. It is fixed upon a pedestal of white marble, at the south front of the Hospital, by request of a few citizens, at their own expense, with the manager's approbation. The inscriptions denote the birth of the first proprietary, in 1644. The grant of the charter to him by Charles II, in 1681. The just and amicable arrangement he made with the natives for the purchase of their lands, and his return to England, in 1684. His second arrival, in Pennsylvania, 1699, and finally his return to his paternal estate, in 1701, where he died, in 1718."
LONDON, April 15. Mohammedans.—Saturday night, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, the Lascars of the Mohammedan persuasion at the east end of the town, had a grand religious festival. The first day they went in slow procession along the new Road, St. George's in the East, Cannon Street, Ratcliff-highway, Shadwell, and other streets, with drums and tambourines, part of them were selected performing pantomimical dances, with drawn swords, moving the air in various directions; then followed men in long white robes, holding emblematical figures in their hands; another held a vase in which was a fire, and a man in a white vestment, treading backwards, threw incense into it: another with a handkerchief fanning their faces; when at every turn of the street a group of the same people lifted up their hands and heads to the canopy of heaven, hymning some passage out of the Koran. They conducted themselves with great propriety, although a multitude of people followed them. On Monday and Tuesday, they made a visit to solemn procession the same way, and on Thursday, another succeeded, and they closed their religious festival, back to the place in Ratcliff-highway. We understood this was a kind of jubilee, in honor of the commencement of their new year, and of the translation of Mohammed into paradise, and imploring him to give peace to the faithful.
