CI lOUS CI ncum STA WlS.—lmmense numbers of
fish were floating in the Neshammony•creek in a tor-
and dead state, on Sunday, the 13th instant.-
7P6 e water was very shallow; occasioned by the long
absence of rain ; and as that day and the precedi:lg
one were unusually hot, to this circumstance is their
death attributed. An observing friend mentions a
similar occurrence .Vbaut 1.0 years since.

Blount County, Tennessee, on the 10th instant, a
negro man, aged 111. lint a few days before he died,
he was busily employed in working his melon-patch,
and for some years previous to his death he supported
himself by the products of his own labour. Hese-

feel much gratification in witnessing his abilities in

TO THE PUBLIC.
Non est vivere sed Yalcre WM L.
" Life is only Life, when blest with Health."
THE finest system of Ethics is to confine within
due bound+, and thus to regulate the Passions ; unrestrained
and insubordinate they irnrctuously destroy those barriers which
Ilcligiou and Morality have made sacra ; to curb but not anni-
hilate thent appear.. Cie Lssoit of Prudence, best cal culated to
limit their effervescence.

TuaF.RENCII MINISTER.—The French Minister,
Mr. Hyde de Neuville, is " a fat portly gentlemah;'
with.a broad chest, big head, and short neck, which
he seems almost incapable of turning ad libi/um. Ile'
is full of Bourbon impatience and French frivolit
• has petite sourer, every Saturday evening during'the
winter, and spends his summer at the springs or his
country residence, in extolling theefirtues of his be-
loved Louis k Desirele. The citizens who attend his
winter parties (with reverence be it spoken) deal
themselves highly exalted at the honour of rioting in
wine and soup 'emigre at the Frenchman's expense.--:.
His Secretary of Legation is an oddity, who dips into
literature, and takes snuff; but, of the two, is perhaps
the more intelligent man. I have no idea that Neu=
ville has learnt enough, in the event of any difficuliy
arising between this country and France, to cciunta-
act the most insignificant intrigue, or benefit his na-
tion:, by inducirg the American Cabinet to adopt ;lig
measures whatever not advantageous to the Urniifd
States.lle seems to be too full of himself to attend
to the intrigues cf Courts, and though he represents,
he is not the representative of a cypher.

Evetf disorganization of the human frame requires great me-
die.d knowledge to temedy, rld the public welfare is promoted
vs hen Professional ntcn (dinsy,arding the suggestious of the en-
vious and interested) devote their studies to the treatment of
those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of
the passions at an ungoirtled moment. s' The strength of a na-
tion consists in the health of the people; but it is melancholy to
reflect on the dilly sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empyri-
cism, and to counteract as far as pis:nide its further ravages, we
offer to suffering humanity, the result of our own experience in the
various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice,
(early acquired at school, befalls reason has asserted her right
over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become
susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most
complicated state of exhaustion may be rousedinto manly energy.
Intense study—immodzrate anxiety—long residence in tropical
climes, and many other cansos, will frequently derange the sea.
sous stsren ; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re-
animation, by remedies which have long answered the sanguine
hopes of patients of both sexes.
That bane to human happiness 'Luxe vrlntar.e, can now be
treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Science having
divested its antidote of. those distressirg properties that so long
rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. We best explain
our method by observing to patients labouring under this malady,
that a few days ouly are required for tile removal-of early imp.
toms; that the most inveterate case will yield to our remedies
within a nunith, and that in a person who only suspects himself
injured, the disease may he prevented altogether from appearing;'
a similar remark applies to many other derangements of the gene-
rative system, as weakness, ulcerations, &c. especially strictures,
obstinate cases of which are daily removed without the use of
caustic or stimulants. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer
sex, have not escaped our attention; in which mildness combined
with efficacy has superseded the means usually adopted.. In due,
our system is unlqae, peculiarly energetic, and eminently sue-
&sato'.
•. For the general accommodation we do not limit ourselves
to stated periods of practice, but may be consulted at all reason-
able hours.—Country Patients are requested to describe minutely
their symptoms,. &c. when medicine, with advice, will be imme-
diately forwarded to any part of the kingdom.—A Dank-note Is
expected to accompany the case.

PORTUGUENi A M BASSADOR.—*HnOther personage,
like the Kings ia aiacbetb, starts up before you; and
pray, 1 know you will ask, %that dark visaged hob-
bling little old gentleman is he, you have now Subs-
moiled to appear? It is, my Lord, no less,a person-
age than the Abbe ('orris de Serria, the Portuguese
Ambassador. The Abbe is a man of almost
unlimi-
ted learninr; and insatiable curiosity. There is no
science, and but few languages he has no knowledge
of, and such is still his unabating devotion to study,
that he does not suffer a day to pass away, without
adding something to his stock of information, and his
general mass of facts-. Ilis knowledge of geography,
resources, and political condition of this country, is
said to be snore extensive and accurate than any ,cf
its citizens, and such are his habits of, obseriatiery
that nothing important or interesting is suffered •to
pass unnoticetf. He is a vigilant Minister, a Moral
man, and I believe a Republican atheart. He seems
to admire the libcial institutions of this country, aiul
the character of its, pie, by whom be has been re-
ceived with great s, attenticin.*And respect ;
but he is.still faith to his countr, for' whose into_
rest he makes everyizertion .in Iowa:
