y Ninth. In my letter TO Mr.. Erskine
Of April IL, 1909, Mr., Madison pro-
posed, and, contrary to my ideas, of
propriety, insisted on inserting the fcl-.
lowing paragraph, viz:
But have it ID express charge
from the President, to state that while
he forbears to insist on farther pun-
ishment OF the offending Officer, he is
not the less sensible. Of The justice and
utility OF such an example, nor he less
persuaded that it would best copport
with what is due from his Blitaalc Ma
lesty 10 his own honor"
To this paragraph l had two OBJ
lsctlons

di9nihea decorum. which the comfy
Of governments IN their intercourse
with each other ought to observe.

SO in q case of nations, wherein W oar
alton may be rendered for an agqra-
waited insult, The party Tnsulted cannon

that such PREPARATION is hot as salistacto-

that the pusilIanimiiy of The party in-

disposed him to yield ~ what his logic

New Hampshire, Connecticut, &c. In some
parts OF Vermont the fall of rain was great,
from the 22d to the Esd ultimo; and occasion
ed very destructive floods, particularly in
the former State: many bridges, mills, for
ges, factories, houses, barns, cattle, crops Of
grain, &c. &c. were either swept away or
destroy ed and some persons were drowned.
The Windsor paper says--"It appears
the heaviest of the rain fell on or near the
Green Mountains. 1t is SAID to have poured
down On some of the hills in such torrents
as carried down into the valley several acres
Of land two orthree feet in depth, which was
covered with heavy timber; resembling in
many places some dreadful commissions of ma
ture. Indeed, the scene it presents must be
truly awfui.''
A violent Whirlwind indeed was felt the
