DIR Gibson Professor Of Surgery in the University OF

high terms of Swaims Panacea. He remarked that he
had found it decidy beneficial in chronic ofSyp

bored under this disease for alength of me and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect but who, after using the
panacea, recovered quickly and entirely He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
TO robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated savaions
had produced only the mschiefncident to the use OF
mercury He spoke likewise of Mr. Swain, personal
". acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor, and in
tbe support even ofwhoe families until cure was eff
fected The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Panacea Of Swain, but that he thoughtit duty
which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold

N. r. We think it our duty to say, that are sur.
nrsed to find that number of spurious mixtures have
been got up lately, in imitation of this valuable

the mistake. We would advise all persons who are in

which had been delayed from casual circum-

The altar, ana the details around it, in this
picture, are admirable. The attitude of Napo

Among the pictures which had accompanied
David in his exile, was that Of the Coronation
of Napoleon. In order TO roll il more easily,
the author before. his departure cut it in three
pieces. Before leaving France, he had com.
menced making copy Of il; but was hesitat-
ing about finishing it, owing to the labor it
would require, until Messrs. Iajard s. Co. OF
Montpelier, agreed to purchase it Of him, if
he would finish it. This he determined at once
TO do, and finding difficulty in procuring room
sufficiently large in which to paint it, the au.
thorities at Brussels put at his disposal large
saloon in the Town Hail. Thus, after ten
months constant work, he completed what he
had commenced in Paris, and by several i'm.
portant changes rendered it superiorto the orr.
ginal. 1t is from This picture the engraving
was made. NJ. NJ. Lajard paid David $4,000
francs for this painting, which they have since
had exhibited in London, and which they pro-
pose, it is said, to offer to The view of the eiti

CORON AXIOM OLE NAPOI EON

David, The celebrated French painter, died
not long since at Brussels. From biography
of him which has just appeared, we translate
some details concerning the great picture which
is now exhibiting here, of Napoeon's Corona
ZION. 1t will be seen how much value was at
tached to this picture by the Emperor, and how
much time, labor and talent were spent upon
il by the artist. 1t has been already published,
that the painting now in this city, and dai ly
exhibiting at Washington Hall, is duplicat e
by David himself. According to the statement
of the biographer, the artist considered this
copy superior to the original, and as such, re-
quired that the engraving should oe taken from
it.
All who have seen this chef d'euuye, must
have been struck with the prominent part as
signed in it to Josephine, the feminine, grace
full, and accomplished Josephine This, which
some have reproached as defect IN picture,
of which Napoleon was the subject, and ought
therefore to have been the prominent figure,
was, it appears, an inspiration OF the painter
caught from Napoleon himself, who desired
him thus to perpetuate his gratitude, regard
and Difference for the partner of his fortunes.
Proclaimed Emperor, Napoleon ordered Da-
yid to paint the Coronation. The day for that
solemnity being fixed, the Emperor summon
ed the Governor Of Paris andCount Segur, mas
ter ofceremonies, and directed them in the pres
ence Of David to act in concert with him as to
the position whence he could best see & trace
the ensemble Of the imposing ceremony.
David selected place whence he had under
his pencil Napoleon and his wife, the Sovereign
Pontiff and his suite, the Grand Dignitaries of
the Empire, sc.
Full of his object he Immediately composed
the sketch. The picture is so feet long and l9
high, the largest ever painted at that time. Its
completion required three successive years Of
close application. Independently Of the diff
cullies belonging 10 such subject, many little
obstacles were thrown in his way. 1t was not
easy to reconcile the wishes of each parsonage
with the general plan of the work. Each wished

DEAR SIR: received, by yesterdays mail,
your letter of the l4th, inviting, in the name
Of the Committee Of Arrangement, my pre-
sence a. the celebration in the Metropolis OF
the United States, of the 50th Anniversary OF
their Independence.
l am deeply sensible Of what owe to this
manifestation Of respect on the part OF the
Committee; and not less so OF the qualification
promised by an opportunity OF joining with
those among whom | should lind myself, IN
commemorating the event which calls forth so
many rejoicing reflections on the. past, and an
tcipations Of the future career OF our country.
Allow me to add, that the opportunity would
derive an enhanced value from the pleasure
with which should witness the growing pros
perity of Washington, and of its citizens,
whose kindness during my long residence a.
mong them will always have place, in my
grateful iecollec.ions.
With impressions such as these, it is with a
regret readily to be imagined, that am con-
strained to decline the flattering invitation you
have communicated Besides the infrmities
incidental TO the period OF life have now reach
ed, there is an instability in my health at pre-
sent, which would forbid me to indulge my
wishes, were no other circumstance unpropi-
tious 10 them.
This explanation will, trust, be sufficient
pledge that, although absent, all my feelings
will be in sympathy with the sentiments inspir-
ed by the occasion. Ever honored will be the
day which gave birth to nation, and to sys-
tenn Of sef-government, making it new epoch
in the history Of man.
Be pleased to accept, sir, for yourself and the
Committee, assurances o. my respectful consi-
Iteration, and of my best wishes.
