The circumstances of the death of our Ia
1,cntcd fellow citizen, ELBR1DoE GERRY,
were nearly these. He breakfasted at the
common table at his boarding house, at the
usual hour, in apparent health, with the
exception of a transient complaint of siight
oppression at bis breast A short time at
forwards, he went out ON business to one
of tue public offices, afew yards distan on
~ from his lodgings, where after few
minutes he found himself indisposed, and
iotimated wish to return to his residence
Being placed again in the carriage, he was
-re-eonveyed to his lodgings. On the aFri-
val of the carriage there, he was found TO
be insensible, and expired Immediately af-
ter, almost without groan or sigh.
In consequence of the death of the Vice
President of the United States, no business
was yesterday done in Senate, and but lit
tie in the House OF Representative. None
will be done IN either ii 5use to-day The
funeral is expected TO take place at three
