TO TUN MAYOR, BOARD OF AI.D.RMV.N. AND BOARD OF

COMMON COUNCIL. OF THE CITY OF WAPHINGTON.

le returning to the Seat of the Nal:mill Government, after
an lung an absence, and so extensive a jourcey, I derive very
great satisfaction, as you will readily conceire, from so
kind a reception by my fellow citizens and neighbours.
la the view which I look, duriug my former, as well an
my recent tour, through so great a portion of the Union, I
have Deets every thing which could give satisfaction to one
who takes a deep interest in the welfare and prosperity of
his country, shutindisor as it dors in all the means net-emery
fur public defence and individual riunrort ; a people virtuous
and intelligent, attached to their free iiislituti cccc 1, and firmly
resolved to ►upport them, displaying on all flrertSi 111 l $ that.
manly and independent spirit, without which no Institutions,
however pure in their principles, can be low sustained; a
people attached to each other, by the !karat consanguinity,
and a common interest ; ties constantly giving strength
(ruin causes that are daily developing themselves.
While these taiwerful causes bind is so closely together,
and we continue to es.hitlit such iituquivntral proo(ii of it to
the world, reudeeisig justice, as we ilo, to every tither na.
lion, we may taped a like return from them, sod shall nut
fail to obtain it. . _ _

Although in these journey* my attention has been prin.
tipsily directed to the great objects of siefeece, yet to them
it has not torn exclnoively confined. 1 hare endeavoured
so examine with rare the dependance add connexion of the
various parts of our Union on each oilier, and Lave ob-
►erved, wills zreat aatisfaction, the eminent silvassixifea
which they respectively derive from the intercourse existing
between them.

To the condition of the Indiana I have always paid atten.
tion. and shall feel happy in giving effect, no far as I may
lie able, to the wise and salnary !savour Congress, calculated
to pronsuie ilwir civilization and happiness.
In the improvement of this metropolis the whole nation
is interested. It k gratifying tome to find, that there is but
one opinion nu this subject. In providing the necessary
public hoildioq., and promoting the ganntli and prosperity
of this city, Congress base heretofore displayed a lateral po-
licy, in which, it may be prrsum•a, they will persevere.
10 give effect to such a policy, will afford me peculiar Sa-
lient:lion, JAMES MONROE.

Dv the above arrival. we were favoured with St.
Thonia%'s Papers to the 31st ult. but they coating'
nothing interesting.
We regret to learn that there have been several
deaths in Newport, during the week past, of highly
malignant fever. In one house, all the inhabi-

shut up. Several cam of indignant fever have

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

At a tneetiiigof the physicians, invited by the
Mayor, it appearing desirable to avoid all ques—
tions wherein opinion might have more influence
than allowed facts, and to exhibit to the public a
daily statement of occurrences, from which they
can readily make an accurate estimate of the health
or the city :
Therefore, Resolved, That the Board of Health be ad-
vised to discontiuste the dally reports of eases, and to sub-
stitute for them, as a much better statnlard of the health of
the city. a daily statemeut of the total member of deaths
caused by fevers indiscriminately, and by bilious f in
particular ; mid that they add thereto a correspondent state.
meut of deaths from fever in former masons.

in connexion with the rules of conduct they have laid slow•
fur themselves iu a former report, and attain respectfully

on them. The Board are happy to believe from the full
investigations of the faculty, as well as their awn, that no
source of malignant disease exists in Baltimore. except *le
of very limited influence, al a remote corner of the city, sod
have a reasonable expectation that it will be speedily extin-
guished there, as it was lately at Smith's Dock.
They are also t cabled to add, that while the general SW.
talky of the week is diminished, ull4l the astral health of
the city improved, the deaths from Whims fevers bare
greatly decreased, owl will, on examination. be found tridiug
is comparison to the population of the city.
It can scarcely he necessary fur the Board to add, that
should any unfaromahle change take place la the present
appear auces, it will he promptly communicated to the pub-
lic. it M mot naderstood that there are say kaown prin-
ciples ur facts on which the health of our cities eau he pre-
dicted for any material prod; but the Hoard consider
themselves authorised to -slime explicitly, that there is too
source or seat of any malignant ur yellow fever he this city
at present, with the exception above stated, and that in the
daily return during the whole week of 30 to 411 Physicians,
but one case of severe fever has been reported iu addition to
those published son Friday.
