TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT. EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE. MONDAY, October 5.
[Gen. Eaton's explanations concluded.]
For what good reason I know not, or for what good purpose I see not, except like Felix to shew the Jews peculiar favor; I was sentenced to be suspended from command only, two months. The proceedings of the court martial were sent to colonel Gaither, whose duty it was to decide upon them. Finding that his object was not attained, he did not decide upon the sentence, from what spirit of benevolence I know not; but he kept me in a burning tent, for more than a month, without letting me know the sentence of the court. At length he informed me by an order, that I was to repair to the seat of government and receive further instructions. As I had suffered myself to be arrested by his order, I was compelled to obey, and went round to the seat of government. I presented myself to the secretary at war, and begged to know what standing I had, as respected my rank. He said, we have been made acquainted with the unhappy misunderstandings which have existed in Georgia; and we consider you as we always have done. (Mr. Hay. Who was the secretary at war? A McHenry.) The sentence never was approved of; and president Washington pronounced on the whole proceedings, that they were a tissue of persecution and wickedness; as I was told by a gentleman who heard him use the expression.
To throw some little light on the declaration of col. Gaither, that I was appointed to a foreign command, I will observe, that at my own request I was permitted to resume my command on the St. Mary's. After my orders to return to Georgia, I was detained for the purpose of attending a court martial which was to sit at fort Mifflin, until the extraordinary session of congress, and until Blount's conspiracy exploded. I was then employed by the government to apprehend certain of his associates. During which session, or about that time, our treaty with Tunis arrived, and was not fully approved by the senate. It was ratified with the exception of three articles. A proposal was made to me by the secretary of state, to take an embassy to Tunis to ratify that treaty, and to accept of a consular agency. As I never had any predilection for a military peace establishment, I engaged to go on that service. But before I left the seat of government I saw Seagrove removed, and the post at St. Mary's left with a sergeant's command, which may account for the subsequent tranquility of the place. Since which, Mr. Gaither has been permitted to retire in arrest. Mr. Burr. Did you assign any date to the court martial which sat at fort Mifflin? A I cannot. Mr. Burr. Was it in 1796? A If I am correct in the extraordinary session of congress, which I think was in 1797. I am correct as to the court martial. After I was ordered to Georgia, I remained some time to sit as a member of the court martial. But before I could make my arrangements to leave the seat of government, the extraordinary session of congress commenced. Mr. Burr. Was it in the same year and pending the extraordinary session of congress that you were employed to seize Romaine and others? Was silence imposed upon you by the secretary as to the seizure of Romaine? A I cannot say distinctly. Though secrecy might have been enjoined, yet I have no objection to state the manner of the arrest of Romaine.
Mr Burr to colonel Gaither. Was speculation countenanced with the soldiers? A No; in no instance. Mr Burr. Did you order the corn to be sold? A I knew nothing about selling of the corn, or any thing about it.
Mr Burr to general Eaton. On which charge were you convicted? A On some specification of a general charge. On every general charge I was acquitted. You know the nature of a general charge. You know, too, that with the stern and just character of general Washington, he would keep no man a day in office who had been guilty of any of the charges exhibited against me.
Mr Burr to colonel Gaither. When was Seagrove removed? A The latter end of
the same year 1796. He was removed in consequence of a treaty with the Indians making some variations in our boundaries.
Colonel Gaither. General Eaton has said a great many things that I knew nothing about, and never heard of before. As to land in partnership with Seagrove, and reports to the government, I am a total stranger to either circumstance. I recommended strongly to the secretary at war a removal of the military post from Coleraine, and recommended Trader's Hill. I found captain Eaton, and captain Tinsley at Coleraine when I arrived there.
Mr McRae to colonel Gaither. How long were you at Coleraine before the arrival of general Eaton? A He was there before me. Mr McRae. Did general Eaton go there with orders from the secretary of war? A Yes, I suppose so. Mr McRae. You suppose gen. Eaton had no hand in choosing the place? A I suppose not.

Thursday, November 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. QUINCY's motion to instruct the committee appointed in relation to maritime aggressions, &c.
[CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Smilie's speech concluded.)
The gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Dana) has declared he never will consent to a treaty with Britain, except they give up the point of searching our armed vessels. He hoped the gentleman would go a little further and take some steps for the security of our seamen. No doubt the British government will disavow the conduct of their admiral in the late outrage: but will this satisfy the people of the United States? No: something more will be necessary. Mr. S. could see no occasion for introducing so much warmth as the gentleman from Connecticut appeared to display, into this discussion. For his part, he thought the committee who had this subject under consideration, was fully capable of investigating it, and he had no doubt would soon make a satisfactory report to the house. They could none of them be suspected of having any predilection for Britain. He had no doubt, if the time should arrive, which shall call for active measures against that country, the members of that committee and their friends will be found as zealous in defence of their country as the friends of the present motion.
Mr. Upham said that it appeared to be the opinion of every gentleman of this house, that the affair of the Chesapeake ought to be enquired into. They differed only about the proper course to be pursued. A diversity of opinion exists as to the reference which has been made of the subject. He could see no objection to the adoption of this resolution, as it could produce only good effects. He thought all ought to agree in passing it.
Mr. Smilie wished to make one remark, in reference to what had been said respecting the attack on the Chesapeake having been made without our jurisdiction. Wherever our armed ships are, there said he is our jurisdiction.
Mr. Dana explained what he had said respecting the formation of a treaty with Great Britain, which the gentleman from Pennsylvania appeared to have misunderstood.
The yeas and nays were called for and agreed to be taken.
Mr. Alexander said, that notwithstanding he was opposed to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts, some days ago, he was in favor of the present motion. It was nothing more than an instruction to a committee to enquire into an affair of great national concern. Notwithstanding he had little doubt that the first resolution (which had been read) was intended to include an enquiry into this subject, yet he thought it highly proper that this motion should be adopted. Though the attack upon the Chesapeake were made more than a maritime league from the shore, every armed ship, if whatever nation, is under the jurisdiction of the nation to which she belongs, wherever she may be. He was nevertheless in favor of making an enquiry into this affair. He was not for doing this because he was of opinion that the committee would not do their duty. But he would have it done, that congress might act upon it, and shew to the world, that though we have suffered many abuses from the British nation, here we will take our stand. He did not think this resolution ought to be considered in an offensive light by the committee whom it went to instruct. He did not believe it was so intended.
Mr. Nelson would not have risen on this question, had not the yeas and nays been called; but this having been done, he meant to give the reasons which would
govern his vote. He was opposed to the resolution on the table; not because he wished to have any thing relative to the attack on the Chesapeake smothered; but because he considered the subject as already referred. The committee had already progressed in the business, and in two or three days the house might expect a report. He did not wish to enter into a resolution for the purpose of shewing Britain what ground we are determined to take. He did not wish to bully the British nation: he would be for shewing them by acts, and not by words, what we would do. He never wished to legislate where legislation was unnecessary, and this subject having been once referred he was not for referring it again. This kind of procedure reminded him of a master's treatment towards a negligent servant. He tells him to do a certain thing to-morrow, then calls him again and cautions him again and again to do the same thing. And the passing of this resolution would be saying to the committee, "Take care you do your duty, Mr. Committee," after having been duly charged with it.
Mr. Sloan said, that indisposition had prevented him from offering his sentiments on this occasion before, and would now prevent him from saying much. Is not this subject already referred to a committee of this house? Have we any reason to believe this committee will not do their duty? Have the committee had sufficient time to make their report? They have not; and he took it for granted that the subject was properly before them. He never knew a resolution like the present brought forward, except there were good grounds for charging a committee with remissness in the discharge of their duty. He might go further, and enquire into the causes which produced this motion. He thought he could see them; and if his state of health would have permitted, he would have endeavored to explain them to the house. But he should satisfy himself with cautioning members against giving a vote which would cast an undeserved censure upon an important committee.
Mr. Newton did not mean to enter at large into this subject. He meant barely to go into the enquiry whether the affair of the Chesapeake was referred to a committee or not. Mr. N read the resolution making the reference, and insisted that this object was clearly embraced in it, and now before the proper committee. He differed in opinion from the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Dana) that the attack was made on the Chesapeake without the jurisdiction of the United States. Nor did he think any gentleman could assert this with any degree of certainty. He who was much nearer the scene of action than the gentleman that had made this assertion did not believe that this was the case. What he had to say as to the enormity of this attack, he should reserve for the proper time. At present, as the committee are already progressing with their enquiries on this subject, he was decidedly opposed to this resolution.
Mr. G. W. Campbell would reserve his opinion as to the extraordinary attack upon the Chesapeake to a more suitable opportunity than the present. He rose merely to state his reasons for the vote which he was about to give. It appeared clearly to him that this subject came within the first resolution referred under the message of the president. To come to a different determination now, he should consider as passing a censure upon this House for having neglected its duty in omitting to refer to a committee the most important subject contained in the message and that which had occasioned the present early meeting of Congress. The house would not surely give the resolution this construction. The committee to whom it had been referred, had not so construed it; and were the house to pass the resolution now before it, it would amount to a declaration that the committee had misconstrued the resolution referred to them, and proceeded to act upon a subject without being authorised to do so. He hoped, therefore, as there was no necessity for it, and as it would be an improper interference with the business of the committee that the motion would be negatived.
[Debate to be continued.]
MONDAY, November 9.
[CONTINUED.]
Agreeably to the order of the day the house went into committee of the whole, Mr. Masters in the chair, on the bill making further appropriations for the further support of the navy establishment for the year 1807.
On motion of Mr. G. W. Campbell the blanks in the bill were filled up in the following manner.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Items include: For pay and subsistence of officers and seamen, $74,750 29; Provisions, 31,468 15; Repairs of vessels, 142,884 61; Pay and subsistence of the Marine corps, 18,500; Cloathing for the same, 10,139 42.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Items include: Medicines and hospital stores, 1,263 4; Ordnance and military stores, 310,556 68; Timber for the Navy, 87,500. Text below: The bill being gone through, a motion was made for the committee to rise, when
Mr. Quincy wished to ask a question of the chairman of the committee of ways & means. In the estimate which they had received from the secretary of the navy, it was stated that the timber procured was "for building 73 gun boats," the appropriation in the bill was "for the navy." He wished to know the reason for this variance; whether this timber was the same as that specified for the gun boats; if so, whether it was any thing else than gun boat timber?
Mr. G. W. Campbell said that he would endeavor to satisfy the gentleman from Massachusetts. Upon conversing with the secretary of the navy, the committee were informed, that this timber was procured of such quality, that it might answer any ordinary naval purposes; it was perhaps contemplated to be used for the erection of gun-boats; but had been so selected that it could be appropriated to other purposes if necessary.
Mr. Quincy said, the committee would recollect that in the communication from the president of the U. S. to this house, he first states that he has made a greater provision of those articles of military stores with which we were not before sufficiently furnished; he then states that he had also incurred some expenses, unprovided for, for gun boats. Mr. Q. understood by the communication from the treasury and navy departments, that the present appropriation was for extraordinary expenses incurred for the navy, other than those which come under the general name of military stores, and not including those expenses for gun boats. He asked of the chairman of the committee of ways and means, merely for information, whether those extraordinary expenses were those which the president alluded to? Whether expenses, not produced to the house, were not yet behind the curtain? Whether they were the whole expenses that had been incurred?
Mr. G. W. Campbell said, he could only answer to the gentleman's enquiries, that, as the message from the president of the U. S. had informed the house that certain extraordinary expenses had been incurred, and that estimates would be laid before them; and as such estimates had been laid before the house, the committee had conceived that these expenses were the same as those mentioned by the president, and acted upon them under that impression. They had no information before them from which they could inform the house whether there were other expenditures made, and they had not enquired whether the message had reference to any other.
Mr. Quincy hoped the committee would excuse him if he proposed another question. The committee would perceive that in the documents accompanying the bill, there was a statement of articles said to be purchased. He wished to know of the committee of ways and means, whether in the common sense of the word these articles were actually purchased and paid for, or only contracted for? If purchased and paid for, out of what monies the payment had been made? Whether out of the public treasury, from the private resources of the secretary of the navy, or from appropriations destined to other objects. The committee would see the direction he wished to give to this enquiry, that the committee might know before they voted this appropriation, the course which had been adopted by the officers of the Navy department.
Mr. Eppes said that neither he nor any other member of this house could satisfy all the enquiries of the gentleman from Massachusetts. All the expenses provided for by this law was not authorised by existing laws. Under the extraordinary circumstances which had occurred on the 22d of June last, at a time when the gentleman from Massachusetts himself had declared that the most violent attack which had ever disgraced the country was made, the executive had the choice of two courses; either immediately to convene the representatives of the people, or to demand reparation from Great Britain. As the last was the course pointed out by the laws and example of nations, it was deemed proper to postpone the meeting of the legislature till it could be ascertained whether or not the outrage had been authorised by the British government. In the mean time it was deemed necessary to provide for such exigencies as might occur. Under former appropriations military stores had been procured: but all the stores thus obtained were found properly

belong to the war department, and although the department of war was sufficiently supplied with salt petre, the navy department was not, and in case of any pressing emergency, it would have been necessary to purchase it at a high price. If it was asked why salt petre was purchased in preference to powder, it was because it had been found that powder could not be preserved in magazines; on the other hand, it was thought better to purchase the ingredients for making powder than to purchase the article itself, as it could be made as fast as wanted. He believed that all the other items of the stores depended on similar principle.
Under the existing law of the land the president was authorised to increase the marine corps to the number of one thousand and four, under the present circumstances he thought proper to exercise that power. No appropriation had been made for the purpose; but it was presumed that the law provided the power of increasing this corps, it intended that they should be supported and clothed.
As to timber, the same reasoning would apply. It was thought essential to make preparations to guard our defenceless ports, and to prevent our cities from being burnt or destroyed. With a view to this purpose it was thought proper to procure a quantity of timber for gun boats, and in order to enable the legislature to give such a form to the preparations for the defence of our harbors as they should think fit, the timber was so selected as to suit any purpose. And if it should be necessary not to make use of this timber, it was well known that it could be sold without loss.
There had been no other expenses incurred than those rendered necessary by the situation in which the country was placed by the attack on the Chesapeake; and he believed the present bill included every additional expenditure that was made.
Mr. Quincy observed, that in making these enquiries his intention was not to cast any blame on the incurring of these expenses. His single object was that he and the house might understand how the thing was done? He did not perceive that either the chairman or the gentleman last up, and means or the gentleman last up, had answered his question. One of them had detailed at length the proceedings since the affair of the Chesapeake which Mr. Q. did not wish to condemn. He wished the house should understand in what manner this business had been managed. Situated as he was upon this floor, possessing no more means of information than any other gentleman in the house, he understood that the articles had been purchased and paid for. Reasoning in his own mind on this subject, as he would on any subject in common life, he could see but three funds from which this 600,000 dollars could be derived: The first fund was the treasury; it was certainly not obtained thence, as they all knew that the treasury cannot pay any money but by warrants; and the secretary of the treasury cannot issue any warrant, except on an appropriation by law. This then was not the fund; the next arose from the secretary of the navy having in his hands appropriations of money destined for purposes authorised by law which he may have applied to purposes which were not so authorised. He did not believe that there was so much more money than was necessary appropriated to any specific object in the hands of the secretary as would enable him to meet these additional expenses, without affecting other appropriations.
Mr. Q. could then only suppose that the secretary of the navy had purchased and paid for these articles from his own private purse or that of some other person. He wished to know how it was? If he could not obtain information this way, he must by some other. He wished that the laws of the country should be so modified, as to give all security to the individual who had taken on himself so great a responsibility.

ENGLAND.
Admiralty Office, Sept. 12, 1807.
Capture of Holigoland.
Letter from admiral Russell to the secretary of the admiralty, dated
Majestic, off Holigoland, Sept. 6, 1807.
I beg you will be pleased to acquaint my lords commissioners of the admiralty, that I arrived at this island, and anchored close to the town, on the 4th instant, at half past one P.M. but did not, as I expected, find the Explosion, the Wanderer, or the Expansion, with which their lordship's had intended to reinforce me. (Since arrived.)
Having found that lord Falkland had, with his usual zeal and promptness, summoned the garrison on the 30th ultimo, and that his proposals were rejected by the governor, I was making my arrangements to storm him with the marines and seamen of the squadron if he did not instantly surrender, for at this time the value of the island to us is immense.
At six P.M. however, he sent out a flag of truce, desiring that an officer might be sent in the morning to treat on articles of capitulation; and I accordingly, at daylight yesterday morning, dispatched lord viscount Falkland and lieut. D'Avergue, (first of this ship) on that service.
At two P.M. the deputation returned with the articles of capitulation, which I immediately ratified.
With a small expence this island may be made a little Gibraltar, and a safe haven for small craft even in the winter; it is a key to the rivers Ems, Weser, Jade, Elbe and Eyder, the only asylum at present for our cruizers in these seas.
I have appointed lieut. D'Avergue as acting governor until their lordship's pleasure is known; and I beg leave to add, that from his perfect knowledge of both services, his zeal and loyalty and a high sense of honor, I know no seaman more competent to the trust.

Arrived yesterday, in distress, sch'r Volunteer, Turner, 13 days from St. Jago de Cuba. A gentleman on board has furnished us with the following particulars:
"Left Port Antonio on the 9th of Sept. for Norfolk—on the 14th, about 7 leagues from Cape Maize, was captured by a French felucca privateer, captain Caded Ricket, who broke open the trunks and letters; secured the private papers and stole a quantity of wearing apparel and cabin stores. Captain Turner, Mr. Roberts, supercargo, and Mr. Rogers, passenger, being at this time on board the privateer, captain Ricket, who after abusing and insulting the above gentlemen, wished to know if they preferred staying on board the privateer or returning to the schooner; their choice was the latter, he however sent on board the schooner the capt. and supercargo, detaining Mr. Rogers on board, where he remained 10 days with the mate Mr. Baker, and all her hands, and sent the schooner to St. Jago de Cuba for trial; the mate and crew of the Volunteer were sent to Barracoa, Mr. Rogers to St. Jago de Cuba, where he found the captain and supercargo with the schooner, which had been cleared on payment of costs."
"To Maurice Rogers, esq. the American consul, the above mentioned gentlemen return their thanks for his unremitted and friendly attention."
The brig —, from Portland, bound to Havana, laden with provisions and lumber, was cast away about 9 days ago, on Berry Islands. The captain and crew were saved, together with the principal part of her cargo, by the private vessel of war Fancy, Henry Wood, esquire, commander.
October 21.
The lugger Speculation, Cromwell, of and from Charleston, bound to St. Jago de Cuba, was towed in here in distress, on Friday by the sch'r Peneluper, Boyd, of Baltimore, from St. Jago de Cuba, but bound to Baltimore.
Captain Cromwell takes the opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks to captain Boyd, for his kind and particular attention to him when in a dreadful situation, and too much credit cannot be bestowed on him for sailing three days out of his course, to endeavor to save the vessel and cargo, for had he not concluded to bear away for Nassau, we must have abandoned her.
The schooner Three Pollys, of Machias, which sailed from hence for Boston, on the 3d inst. was drove by stress of weather on the Grand Key, Abaco, on the 8th, where the captain and crew (with the exception of one seaman who was lost) remained until the 11th, when they were fortunately relieved from their perilous situation, having no provisions, by captain Benjamin Low, of Green Turtle Key, by whom they were treated with the greatest humanity, taken on board his sloop and arrived here on Monday.
The ship Heroine, Wilson, of Hartford from Charleston bound to New Orleans, with 85 negroes, was cast away on Wednesday night the 7th inst. in a heavy gale of wind from N. E. to E. on Wale Key, north part of Abaco. The captain, crew and negroes were saved, with some provisions; they remained on the Key 10 days, when they were fallen in with by the sch'r Centipede, Sawyers, and brought to this port on Monday.
The sch'r Augusta, Johnson, from N. York, via Ragged Island, arrived on Monday.
The brig cast away on Berry Islands, mentioned in our last, was the William & Henry, captain Norris, of Portland.

The Riot at Baltimore.—The following correct and judicious remarks on this subject are extracted from an article in the CITIZEN.
"Mobs, those many headed hydras, which in no one instance can be right, but in all must be wrong, should be discountenanced by every good man; the press should in an especial manner reprehend them. A mob is the same monster whether on this side or on that. Burr and his associate conspirators, are, indeed, detestable, and cannot be too vigilantly watched within the limits of the law. But are mobs—are persons tumultuously assembled in our streets, the constitutional judges of a Chief Justice? Where is the empire of our laws? Where order, the element of all law and of all good? The civil authority of Baltimore is reprehensible. It should have suppressed, I will not say by an energy beyond the law, but it should have suppressed this vile rout; it should have prevented this stain on our national character. He who cannot hate, with a holy hatred, a conspiracy like that of the miscreant Burr, and the persons who were engaged in it, and yet be orderly, and yet be decorous, and yet be respectful to the laws of his country, has no claim to the appellation of a good citizen."
The ship —, capt. Stanwood, arrived at Boston on Thursday in 53 days from Gottemburgh. Our correspondent informs us that she left there on the 13th of September, previous to which time official intelligence had been received of the surrender of Copenhagen to the British on the 7th and that the Danish fleet was to be sent to England in six weeks from the time of signing the convention.
On this subject a respectable merchant of this city has received a letter from an American captain at Gottemburgh, dated September 12, of which the following is an extract.
"I have just time to inform you that Copenhagen surrendered to the British on the 7th instant, after a brave resistance—Six hundred houses in the city are reduced to ashes. The Danish fleet is to be delivered up to the British to be restored after a general peace; and the merchantmen taken by the British are not to be returned until a general peace."
"The vessel by which I send this, is now under way, and no other vessel immediately for America." N York paper.]
We learn from Marseilles that the Algerines lost in a late action, in which they were defeated by the Tunisians, 30,000 men killed, 4,000 made prisoners, 500 Arabian women, 500 wounded, 26 brass pieces of cannon, 6 mortars, 500 tents, 5,000 mules, 10,000 camels, 10,000 small arms, 1000 quintals of powder, 2,000 shells, 5,000 axes, 23 pair of gold mounted pistols set with diamonds, 20 sabres in the same order, 15 Constantine mares richly appareled and valued at 50,000 dollars, with 3 chests of money in gold and other coin. [Ibid.]
Captain Lewis arrived at Boston on Tuesday from Lisbon, sailed from thence the 27th of September:—The French had not entered Portugal; but were expected, and would not be opposed. There had been a strong press at Lisbon to man the fleet.
Captain Fisk arrived at Boston on Wednesday, in 36 days from Fayal, informs, that an express had just arrived at Terceira from Lisbon, in 5 days, with orders from the Portuguese government to shut all the ports of the Western Islands against the English.
CURE OF CONVULSIONS.—A new method of curing convulsions has been practised in the hospital of Germany, with great success. It was first resorted to by the late Mr. Sturtz, a physician of eminence in Suabia, and he was led to this important discovery from the analogy of a simple fact.—Mr. Humboldt had announced in his work upon the Nerves, that on treating the nervous fibre alternately with opium and carbonati of pot-ash, he made it pass five or six times from the highest degree of inactivity, to a state of perfect asthenia.
The method of Mr. Sturtz, who has been employed with the greatest success in the German hospitals, consisted in an alternate internal application of opium and carbonate of pot-ash.—It has been seen that when 36 grains of opium, administered within the space of 24 hours, produced no effect, the patient was considerably relieved by ten grains more of opium, employed after giving the alkaline solution. This new treatment of Tetanus is worthy of attention.

To the Public.
I went last evening in company with a gentleman of my acquaintance to visit the young Lady born without hands, and with only three toes on one foot, who is displaying her surprising ingenuity and dexterity in cutting watch papers, embroidering large flowers fit for framing, &c. &c. at Mr. Hodgkin's King-street Alexandria.—On entering the apartment, I experienced a peculiar sensation of feeling; but how shall I describe my astonishment, when a face blooming as that of Hebe, presented itself to my view! Instead of beholding a sight imperfect in the extreme, as I had erroneously imagined would be the case, I surveyed a countenance fair as the opening rose when be-spangled with the morning dew! When we reflect on the peculiar natural genius of this young Lady, the inconceivable manner in which she performs her accustomed employment, and the extraordinary sweetness and vivacity of her disposition, we cannot but admire the marvellous works of an incomprehensible God, who sometimes in depriving mortals of certain invaluable benedictions, dispenses to them others, in such vast profusion, without enjoying the perfect use of any one limb, but all having degenerated greatly from the natural disposition of their parts. She appears not in the least to repine at these several imperfections; but possessing a placid serenity of aspect so characteristic of the pious resignation with which she meets her peculiar fortune.—In her we behold a countenance serene and tranquil as an unclouded April morn, when Phoebus's golden rays are emerging from the horizon of the east: a melancholy trait which mingles with the brilliancy of her affable disposition, renders her appearance doubly interesting. With one part of a pair of scissors, which she held in her mouth, and a piece of paper held between her toes, she cut me a watch paper in ten or twelve minutes, and apparently with as much ease and facility as though she possessed the full and perfect use of every limb.
Let not the unfavorable idea you may have improperly anticipated in any measure dissuade you from visiting this young Lady, and contributing your mite from the stores of wealth you have received from the munificent hand of Providence.—You will then enjoy the unspeakable pleasing reflection, that you have been instrumental in extenuating the pangs of the unfortunate, and of discharging one of the principal duties of a Christian; this you can never regret, and for which you will ultimately receive ample remuneration.
