CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, APRIL 7. SPANISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
On the motion of Mr. J. Randolph to amend the secret journal, by inserting in it the message of the President of the 6th December.
CONTINUED.
Mr. G. W. CAMPBELL. Before the question is taken, I will take the liberty of submitting a few remarks to the House. I understand the question to be to insert the message of the President of the 6th December in the journal. In the remarks which have been made on the question, the proceedings of the house while in secret sitting have been brought into view. I was opposed to making those proceedings public; I thought then and I still think that we were committing the honor of the nation. I did think when the majority had sanctioned a negotiation that no measure calculated to frustrate it should have been taken, until the negotiation had been fairly tried. It was for this reason I was opposed to removing the injunction of secrecy; and not because I was unwilling that the people of this country should be made acquainted with the proceedings which took place in this house with closed doors. My object was to prevent the interference of foreign nations, who might feel an interest in defeating the measure. The public will judge of the propriety, under these circumstances, of making these proceedings public. But as a part of them has been made public, I with the whole could be made so, consistent with the interest of the nation; though I entertain strong doubts of the propriety of the measure, I shall not, however, oppose the motion before you. But before the question is taken, I beg leave to remark, that so far as relates to the observations between a gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Randolph) and the head of one of the departments of this government, they have nothing to do with this business; and they can have no influence on the decisions of this House. I did not expect to have heard any such conversation introduced on this floor. We did not come here to hear any such conversation or to act upon communications of that kind. What may be the private opinions of a particular head of department, it is not for this house to know; they cannot officially come before us; we have nothing to do with them.
It is said, sir, that a certain communication which was calculated to affect our votes, relative to the bill making appropriation for the purchase of the Floridas, was detained some weeks after it was received from our minister abroad, before it was laid before us. I say, Mr. Speaker, that no communication made to this house was calculated, in my opinion, to alter the votes of the members of the house on that subject, certainly none that would have changed mine; but whether that communication was or was not made to us, in due time after it was received I do not pretend to say. I do not know, however, that we have any claim to it from the head of department. It was not his duty to communicate it to us, that belonged to the Executive, and why the circumstance has been mentioned here, I cannot pretend to say. With regard to some other remarks made by a gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. J. Clay,) I think it proper to state that there is no communication before this house which authorises the assertion that a threat has been made by France against the United States. I deny, sir, that there is any document, which if properly understood, can be construed to have such a meaning. I lay, likewise, that there is no document before the house which authorises the assertion, that France told us, if you give Spain one blow, we will give you ten or two, as stated by the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Randolph). There is no such expression, or any other that would countenance the idea. France was not brought into the question as being concerned in our differences with Spain. She has, indeed, been dragged in, in the place of argument; and we have been charged with trucking to France, when in all our proceedings the name of France has hardly ever been mentioned, except by gentlemen in debate who will not admit that Spain exists as a nation. I deem it proper also to say, that the assertion that any member of this house voted for a measure calculated to bribe one nation, to induce another to give up her rightful property, so far as it may be applied to me, is without foundation, and not authorised by any act of mine, and that no man will undertake to say so. The word bribery ought not, indeed, to enter the walls of this house, as applicable to any of its members or proceedings. It will, Mr. Speaker, appear from the journals of the house, now made public, who have or have not supported the interests of this country. Who are willing to support just measures calculated to maintain peace; and are disposed to take a manly attitude, against those who violate our rights; and it will also appear who they are, whose proceedings tend to embarrass the nation, to bring the government into contempt, to produce schism,
and to impair the confidence of the nation in the administration, at a time when I believe it is as high as it ever was; and I apprehend, deservedly so. I believe, too, the nation will not be found ready to withdraw that well placed confidence from the head of department who has been denounced in this house. It will appear too, who have taken measures calculated to disturb the peace of the union, and to produce an alarm of danger for which there is no foundation. I solemnly wish that not only the message of the president, but every document, and every word uttered in secret might be made known to the people, I wish it, because I think it would not then be practicable to impose on the nation by a coloring given to those proceedings, unauthorised by the facts that took place.
I will state to the house while I am up, that I voted against increasing the army, because I believed that no emergency existed to require it. I saw no call for it, either in the information contained in the public message, or in the other communications made to this house. In the public message we were told that congress would, in the course of the session, be enabled to determine whether it would be necessary to increase our land force, by the events which would probably take place. No events had taken place when the measure in question was before the house that changed the former state of things. It was also my opinion that we ought not, on every trivial occasion, to increase our present military establishment, and abandon the ground we had taken, of reducing the number of our regular forces: acting on the principle that standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and are the most fatal scourge in the hands of an usurper or a despot. On this ground I have been always opposed to them, and ever shall be unless an extraordinary emergency should render it indispensable to resort to them. I was of opinion that even on an emergency the militia were, in the first instance, to be resorted to, not only as the constitutional, but as the most competent and safe defence that we could provide. I know of no reason why we should think them not competent, as we have always heretofore found them to be so. For these reasons, amongst others, I was opposed to an increase of the army. I was also induced to be of this opinion from the documents on your table, from which it did not appear to me that Spain had any serious intention to commit hostilities against the U. States or that her government or commanding officers had authorised any, in the territory of which we had taken possession. The inconveniences with regard to our undefined limits, and the embarrassments attending the passage of our commerce down the Mobile, together with the necessity of having those other differences existing between us and Spain amicably adjusted, induced me to vote for the principal measure adopted by this house with closed doors. I voted, sir, for the appropriation of two millions of dollars, to authorise the executive to negotiate with Spain for the purchase of the Floridas. In doing so I did not authorise the government to bribe France, to coerce Spain into this measure, nor do I believe that there is the least ground for any such allegation with regard to any member of this house. No, sir, our object was to obtain a fair purchase of the Floridas. We believed it important to acquire them, because the acquisition would connect our disjointed territory—would give us the command of an extensive sea coast, including the outlets of many large rivers and some good harbors, and free us from the inconveniences to which we were exposed by neighbors who were likely to become more and more troublesome. In the vote I gave I contemplated the measure to be carried into effect only in a just and legal manner, by a fair purchase. I know no other way in which a territory can be acquired, consistent with common right and principle. It was intimated, it is true, to us, that it would be easy to take possession of this country by force, and that it would be always in our power to take it, whenever we should wish to become the owners of it; but for one, I disclaim all disposition to wrest that country from its rightful owner, without any other ground of claim than superior force; so far as the country is ours by purchase, I am disposed to claim and hold possession of it, but not further.
But suppose, sir, we take possession of this country by force, we should not thereby acquire a just right to it. Such a measure would not be consistent with or authorised by the law of nations, and could vest in us no valid title. It was for these reasons that I considered the only effectual way of acquiring a just title to this country, was by entering into a fair & honorable compact for it with its rightful owner. The measure was agreed to by a large majority, made by two thirds of the members of this house. It seemed to be agreed by all, we
ought to acquire this country, and the principal question was, how shall we get it, or what shall we give for it? I was, sir, of opinion, that it would be best to give money for it, that we should in this way get it cheaper than by resorting to any other means. That it was much cheaper to pay for it with money, than with the blood of our citizens. I considered that the land would repay, and more than repay us for the purchase money; and that the additional revenue we should acquire, would give us a still further compensation for our trouble and advance made in acquiring this country.
A proposition was offered about the same time, to exchange territory to the west of the Mississippi for the Floridas. I was decidedly opposed to that proposition. I protested against it then, and shall ever oppose it.
I conceived it contrary to the constitutional right of the people at large, that Congress should assume the power of giving away, or disposing of a single acre of our territory to a foreign nation. I considered the territory in question as part of the union, and if so that we might as well attempt to give away a part of a state. I considered this as establishing a principle of a most dangerous kind, which might in time lead to a dismemberment of the union.
If you can dispose of this territory to a foreign power, you can of a part or the whole of a state. You may transfer, at one time, a portion of country to the east, and at another a portion to the south as well as to the west—and by this means, a designing majority would be enabled, if apprehensive of rivalry in power or influence, from the increasing population of any part of your country, to REND OFF the union at pleasure, so as to suit their own particular views. I did, therefore, call upon this house to guard against such dangerous consequences. I also considered that the country in question would be settled by people of some nation. I preferred it should be possessed by those of the United States, and their posterity forever—that they might form but one great family from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean—and I did not wish on the contrary, to enable the subjects of a foreign nation to increase and strengthen themselves in our neighborhood, who might at some future day, not very distant, become our rivals and our enemies.
It was observed that this money would go to France. It was then stated, and it has been repeated, that there was nothing to authorise the belief that France was to get this money from us. It is true it is well known, if we believe the public prints, that France had got money from Spain; that Spain previous to being engaged in the present war as the ally of France, had to purchase her neutrality from France, with money, and that the treasury of Spain was in a great degree the treasury of France. And suppose this to be the case, what have we to do with it? Are we to constitute ourselves the guardians of the Spanish treasury? Is it material to us what Spain does with the money after she gets it? And if Spain consults France who is her ally, with regard to the sale, has she not a right to do it? Has she not a right to be as submissive to France as she pleases? Would that be any objection to our acquiring the country from Spain? I can see no objection, even should we believe that France would eventually get the money we pay to Spain, to our making the purchase in question. But is it unusual for two nations in close alliance, to consult each other as to their transactions with a third power? It is not, on the contrary, the constant practice to do so? The alliance may be such that Spain cannot alter her territorial situation without the consent of France. And is this a reason why we should not make a fair proposition to Spain to purchase territory which she has and we want? It cannot be, there is no foundation for this objection. Mr. Speaker, I think it proper here to state that there was no part of my conduct such as to authorise any man to say the measure I voted for was calculated to bribe any nation. This was not my intention; it was not the intention of the majority of this House, and such an allegation cannot be believed by the public or by any unprejudiced and candid individual. I have only one other remark to offer in regard to an observation made by the same gentleman from Virginia (Mr. R.) that the ground we have taken is calculated to show a dastardly spirit towards Spain or France, and to present a hostile attitude towards Britain. I do not consider it in that point of view. I do not think the conduct of Spain required from us the manifestation of any hostile intention. That government does not appear to have authorised, and her public officers have disavowed the aggressions alluded to. It is well known however, that
we did take an attitude towards that nation calculated to show a determination on our part to repel aggressions. Our soldiers were ordered to patrol the country, and did so without meeting with any hostile opposition from Spain. There is no ground then to believe either that Spain has a hostile intention towards this country, or to say that we have been disposed to shrink from taking a manly position, or that we have manifested a dastardly conduct towards her. With regard to France, I will only say that I know of no differences existing between the United States and that nation; and so far as regards Great Britain, it is fully known to the public what her conduct was towards us, and what measures we have adopted in this house, in regard to her, on which I have already delivered my sentiments, and shall not here again repeat them.
(To be continued.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, May 10.
The editors of the New York Gazette are indebted to captain Carpenter, of the ship Protector, for London papers to the 26th, and Liverpool papers to the 28th of March. From these papers they have made such extracts as appear worthy of insertion. It will be seen, that our news by captain Patterson, in yesterday's Gazette, relative to a war between Great Britain & Algiers, is not without foundation.
The official details of the naval victory off St. Domingo, appear in the London Gazette Extraordinary of the 24th of March, which were received by the King Fisher, the cutter dispatched for that purpose.
LONDON, March 25.
At two o'clock yesterday morning, captain Cochrane arrived at the admiralty, from Portsmouth, where he had landed the preceding evening, at five o'clock. Captain Cochrane came home in the King Fisher sloop of war, from the West Indies, with an account of the total destruction of a French squadron. He had a passage of 5 weeks and 4 days. Mr. Grey was called up immediately on captain Cochrane's arrival; as were also the other members of the board of admiralty.
The dispatches were very early forwarded by a messenger to his majesty, at Windsor. Intelligence was likewise sent to admiral Young, at Plymouth; to lord Keith, at Ramsgate; and to admiral Douglas, at Yarmouth, in the course of the day. And a bulletin, stating the substance, was sent to the right honorable the lord mayor, and by him transmitted to Lloyd's coffee-house.
The Extraordinary Gazette was published about two o'clock, and the Park and Tower guns were fired in honor of the event.
Sixteen thousand French troops are ordered to occupy Dusseldorf and Weisbaden, which are to be ceded to France.
Frankfort, in addition to the impost of four millions of francs, levied by France, has been compelled to pay upwards of 500,000 florins more, in requisitions for hay, straw, oats, &c.
Report says, that sir John Moore is to succeed lord Lake, as commander in chief in India. It is added, that the gallant general is to be accompanied by his regiment (the 52d) one of the finest in the service.
Admiral Thornborough arrived off Rochefort on the 3d inst. in the Prince of Wales, with the Malta, Achille, Illustrious, Conqueror, Pallas and Atalante. The Latona was watching the port; where there is one three decker, four 74 gun ships, 4 frigates, 2 corvettes and 2 brigs, at single anchor, ready for sea.
The letters brought by the Townshend packet from Lisbon were delivered yesterday morning. We received some Madrid Gazettes by the same opportunity. The Gibraltar Gazette of the 1st inst. contains the following intelligence: Mr. Cartwright, his majesty's consul general at Algiers, landed here on the 27th ultimo, from the Niger frigate. Mr. Cartwright, after trying in vain every means in his power to obtain satisfaction respecting various demands, consistent with the treaties between our government and the regency, and finding it impossible to avert the daily insults which the dey and his agents offered to the British legation and subjects, intimated he intended to depart, and demanded his passports, which were granted him without difficulty.
LIVERPOOL, March 26.
Batavian Gazettes to the 19th inst. have been received. The French troops evacuated the Austrian territory finally, Brabant excepted, on the last day of February. On the 7th instant a detachment of the

French army, under the command of mar- shal Bernadotte, who now occupies the margrave of Anspach, in trust for his Bavarian majesty, entered Nurem- burgh; which, however, according to the as- surances given by the marshal commandant to the senate, was but the effect of an indis- pensable military measure, without any prejudice to the city. The news of the establishment of a perfect understanding between France and Prussia, with regard to the interior changes in Germany, has been lately circulated with increased credit throughout the empire. A letter from the Plague of the 17th says:
"A courier extraordinary, dispatched on the 12th inst. by gen. Dumonceau, from his head-quarters at Nassau Dietz, arrived yesterday afternoon, with intelligence that the Bavarian division, which has hitherto made part of the French grand army in Germany, has commenced its march for this republic. It marches in four columns, commanded by generals Quaiat and Hadel, colonel Maraschewitz, and general Hel- dring. It is expected that the whole will reach Nimeguen between the 25th and 28th inst. Gen. Dumonceau, the commander, is expected here on the 19th."
The Courier du Bas Rhin, published at Wesel, on the 12th inst. observes: "It appears as if we were near the mo- ment in which the future fate of the dif- ferent countries, districts, cities, &c. was about to be decided, and the cession to be realised. Every thing appears to indicate that our territory is also about to change masters: for the movements perceived here, leave no longer any doubt with re- spect to the evacuation of the place by the Prussian garrison."
In a day or two after the arrival of the expose a French flag of truce arrived, bringing, it is said, some pacific overtures to our government. Various reports a- bout this proposition are circulated; it was on Sunday, mentioned, that the basis pro- posed was utipossidetis. We cannot from the commendable secrecy ministers have preserved, take upon us to confirm or de- ny the truth of any of these reports. We have therefore, only to say, that we trust the honor and interest of the nation to his majesty's ministers, and rely upon them for all the care due to so sacred a depo- sit.
Some American vessels passed by Dover on Friday for the Thames, the masters of which report, that all idea of a rupture with Great Britain was done away. Our cor- respondent, who communicated with them, informs us, that there was a majority of the members against the hostile measures lately proposed in congress.
Insurance has been effected at Lloyd's on the baggage of an American officer of rank, employed on an expedition firing out a New York. The insurance was for the sea risk between New York and the coast of Caracas, in South America, and leave was given to touch at St. Domingo. It is said the expedition consists of 7000 men. This curious circumstance explains many of the rumours about the declaration of war against Spain.
PARIS, March 13. Prince Murat has left us; some report for Italy, while others assert he has gone for Holland.
VIENNA, March 8. Belgrade is said to have surrendered to the Servians.
AUGSBURG, March 5. Several Bavarian journals say, that his majesty has received a courier from Paris, bringing the agreeable intelligence that the differences between France and Prussia had been adjusted; adding, that the plan of a convention, carried to Berlin by the mar- quis Lucchesini, had been assented to by the Prussian cabinet in all its parts.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, MAY 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Vincennes, dated March 26, 1806. "A strange and very singular disease is said to prevail in the Illinois counties. It seizes only girls of twelve years of age or under, beginning with head-ache and fever, and generally terminating in death on the third day. A gentleman of Prairie du Rocker is said to have lost all his daughters —I have not heard further particulars."
Our correspondent at Jamaica observes, that great exertions were using there to make the militia perfect in military tactics, particularly since the arrival of Sir Barle Coote, the new governor. He also says, under date of April 8, that the fleet for Europe were collecting, and many ships in the offing from the Leeward. All kinds of provisions were high, as the fleet from Eu- rope had not arrived.
[New York Gazette.] We learn from a gentleman who arrived in this city a day or two ago, from St. Do- mingo, that at the time of his departure there were very general movements among the subjects of the black emperor Des- salines. What the actual cause of this was he did not understand, but it was said that some advices had been received by way of Jamaica, that taught the blacks to expect a speedy attack. The consequences of these advices were, that Dessalines was putting the black army into an active organ- ization for war; all the money, valuable property and goods were removed to the mountaneous country in the interior, and all the white inhabitants were ordered to remove from the sea coast.
During the recent celebration of some fete, a French family had made its escape from the Cape, but being soon after missed by General Christophe, he attributed the circumstance to the connivance of some Americans; in consequence, Christophe ordered the commanders and crews of all the American vessels at the Cape to be seized and put in close confinement, threat- ening to shoot or hang them all. Upon an investigation, however, it appeared that the Americans had not aided the escape of the fugitives, who had, in fact, succeed- ed in making the French lines at the city of St. Domingo. The Americans were then released.
The degradation, to which the Ameri- cans trading to the indigene ports are reduc- ed, as low and humiliating as any thing to be found in the annals of the Dutch at Ja- pan. Such is the opinion of the Ameri- cans, entertained by the blacks, in conse- quence of the meanness of some that trade there, that Dessalines laughs at the law of congress, interdicting the trade, and in ex- ulting and contemptuous language declares that, "as long as he has a bag of coffee or a dollar, he will never want Americans ready and willing to buy them, in disre- gard of all laws."
A gentleman of this city is said to be Dessalines's correspondent and agent. It was mentioned at the cape, by persons who had intercourse at the black court, that Dessalines had purchased an estate in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, as a re- treat in the event of an imperial bouleverse- ment!
Mr. Kirkland, was at the Cape, and had mounted the indigene cockade in the service of the black emperor. Miranda's expedition was spoken of with- out any idea of importance being attached to it; it was considered as a petty piratical enterprise.
[Aurora.] Advices, by way of the city of St. Do- mingo, Trinidad, Havanna, and St. Croix, concur in stating that Miranda, had effected a landing upon the Spanish Main. Barce- lona, or Barcelonetta; the place which Mi- randa is said to have debarked, is the prin- cipal town of a district in the province of Cumana.
[Ibid.] An officer of the frigate Constitution, commodore Rodgers, who left Malta on
25th January, and arrived here last even- ing, on his way to Washington, assures us that no alteration whatever had taken place between the commodore and captain Gale, at the time of his departure, and that he believes the report malicious and destitute of truth.
[Balt. American.] The new duties which have been impos- ed in France in the beginning of March, must amount to a prohibition, and are ex- tremely injurious to the American mer- chants who carry on commerce with that country; as all the produce which was in entrepot, and of which the duties were not paid at the time the law was passed, will be subjected to the new impositions, the great- est secrecy being observed, and no previ- ous notice ever being given by the French government.
[N. Y. Gaz.]

Credit is so low, money so scarce, and the spirit of speculation so damped, that it has no effect on the markets of France, which are overslocked, and the adventurers must lose from 30 to 50 per cent. The duties it was supposed would diminish the consumption of West India produce one half; yet it is calculated that the supplies of the different markets are sufficient for two years.
[Ibid.] The following are the articles prohibited by the act of congress, passed the 12th of April last, from being imported into the United States from any part of Great Bri- tain, after the 15th day of November next:
All articles of which leather is the ma- terial of chief value, all articles of which silk is the material of chief value, all ar- ticles of which hemp or flax is the material of chief value; all articles of which tin or brass is the material of chief value, tin in sheets excepted, woollen clothes whose in- voice prices shall exceed five shilling ster- ling p r square yard, woollen hosiery of all kinds, window glass, and all other manu- factures of glass, silver and plated wares, paper of every description, nails and spikes, hats, cloathing ready made, millinery of all kinds, playing cards, beer, ale and por- ter, and pictures and prints.
LONDON, March 12. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Marquis Wellesley—Rajah of Bhurtpore. Lord Temple rose, to beg that an honorable gentleman behind him (Mr. Paul) would state the grounds, and the nature of the charges which he intended to bring against Marquis Welles- ley.
Mr. Paul declined answering this question, and prefaced his promised motion for papers re- specting the Rajah of Bhurtpore, by observing, that he had been represented in the current re- ports of the day, as the accuser of Marquis Wel- lesley; but he disclaimed being actuated by per- sonal hostility to that noble lord in the charges which he had brought against him. If there was one person who knew him better than ano- ther, it was that noble lord. He had been for ten years the company's resident at Lucknow, and his conduct while in that situation had met with the approbation of Marquis Wellesley; this would be sufficient to acquit him of the suspicion of personal animosity. He certainly however, felt considerable embarrassments in his present si- tuation. He had never considered himself as the only accuser of Marquis Wellesley. He expect- ed to have been supported in his charges by an hon. gentleman, (Mr. Johnston) whom he had heard last night, with the utmost astonishment, disclaiming every intention to hurt the feelings of the noble lord, and at the same time moving for papers which tended directly to criminate his conduct.
[The hon. gentleman was here called to order by the speaker, who said that it was irregular to refer to any thing said in a former debate.
The honorable member then proceeded to ob- serve, that he meant at present only to lay the grounds of an investigation into lord Wellesley's conduct, and not to pronounce him guilty. It was for this purpose, that he now moved for pa- pers respecting the Rajah of Bhurtpore. The Marquis Wellesley had considered his alliance as of great importance; he had therefore concluded a treaty with him in 1803. This treaty, how- ever, was soon broken on the part of the Rajah, who entered into engagements with Holkar, our bitterest enemy. This conduct had been ascribed to the basest treachery, but he could not hastily adopt this opinion, as it belied every part of the Rajah's former life. Whatever might be the reason, however, the Marquis Wellesley, instead of demanding satisfaction, determined that the severest vengeance should be inflicted. He made
no demand for reparation, but insisted upon un- conditional surrender. General Lake was order- ed to advance against him, with as great a force as we had ever assembled in India. It would be unnecessary to relate to the house, the sanguin- ary and ineffectual assaults that were made on the fortress of Bhurtpore. Our attempts were un- successful, and were succeeded by an ignomin- ious peace. These he conceived to be matters that required the serious investigation of the house, and for that purpose he should move, "That there be laid before the house a copy of the treaty entered into between the govern- ment of India and the Rajah in 1803, copies of letters from Lord Lake to the Marquis V. Wel- ley, giving an account of the attacks on Bhur- tpore, and a copy of the treaty concluded in 1804, between the Marquis Wellesley and the Rajah."

Mr. Broom. The following jus desperato , sug- gested by a review of recent events at Washing- ton, is very much at your service.

DIED. At Philadelphia on the 8th inst. in the 72d year of his age, ROBERT MORRIS, Esquire. The important services, which distinguish- ed the private and public conduct of this Gentleman, throughout the American Re- volution, were such as obtained the confi- dence and gratitude of his country. As an individual he gave his best exer- tions, and embarked his fortune and credit in the common cause, in the darkest peri- ods of the war. As Superintendent of Finance he was es- sentially useful in organizing the revenue, and in furnishing such supplies to the Ar- my, as greatly contributed to a successful termination of the contest.

Now printing in Philadelphia, AT THE LORENZO PRESS, Under the inspection of the Author, in a fine Oc- tavo Volume, with Plates, executed by the first Artists in America, a new and splendid Edi- tion, much enlarged, of a Poem, entitled  Modern Philosophy; OR  Terrible Tractation !!! A POETICAL PETITION against GALVANIZING TRUMPETRY, and the PERKINISTIC INSTI- TUTION: Addressed to the Royal College of Physicians, London, By CHRISTOPHER CAUSTICK, M. D. A. S. S. Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Aberdeen, and honorary Member of no less than nineteen very learned Societies. The object of this Poem is to promote the best interests of Society, by arraying the powers of legitimate satire against the philosophers, quack politicians, and other sciolists of the day, and to give more extensive publicity to such inventions, improvements, and other exertions of the human mind as deserve to be patronised by the commu- nity. The author proposes to enlarge the work, by the addition of such matter as he presumes will be found most immediately interesting to the American public, and hopes his efforts to im- prove the plan and execution of the Poem, will be thought in some measure worthy of the favor- able reception with which it has already been honored in Europe and in America. The above work will be published by the subscriber in about two months—Price, bound in boards, two dollars. ROBERT GRAY. March 29. 2aw2m
