CHARLES CARROLL, OF CARRoLLToN.-
The resolution offered TO the House Of Repre-
ssntatives, sometime since, comforting on the
venerable Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the
privilege Of frankiag, has been LAID on the ta-
bic. by large vote, and in effect has been lost.
This is as 1t should be;--for, although no indi-
vidual in this country, entertain more respect
for Mr. Carroll than we do, wo canno, see the
expediency or proprcty of granting such a
privilege. Mr.. Carroll, is one OF tho wealth.
est men in the nation, and the mere privilege
Of lranking his letters, could do him no good.
Beside this, the precedent would be dangerous;
it would, in eject, be granting 10 the vener-
able Ca.rnil, q PENSION, 10 which he is not en-
titled, by :he laws of the land, arl FOR which
roll is entitled to the pecunary rewards of the
country, why is not that venerable remnant OF
that gallant line Of heroes who fought and bled
for our independence and glory' We should
be glad to see every surviving member Of the
revolution rewarded, and consoled in his last
days, by the gratitude Of his country, but if
the thing cannot be done generally, md have
an equal bearing, then, say we, 1T ssA and
all share alike, in the absence &C pecuniary
rewards and favours.
Mr. Carroll, it is true, is the only surviving
member Of that illustrious band Of heroes, who
signed the declaration Of American Indepcnd-
encc But does the fact entitle him to bene-
fits and rewards, which are refused to hundreds
of his cotemporaries, who fought in the CON-
mon cause OF liberty and our country Certainly
not! And why then should nc be sing'cj out
for a nations gratitude? When the venerable,
and gallant General ARTHUR Sr. CLAIR,
applied to his corntrymen, for little aid. TO
enable him TO descend comfortably to the
grave. all hearts were cold, and his humble pc
tition was postponed from session to session,
till the old man, grown grey with his sorrows,
and tho cold ingratitudc Of his country. was
about to surrender his soul 10 the God who
gave il. He was miserable and abject, and
dwet among the rude wastes Of the Allegheny
mountains, and there supported himself and
aged wife, by keeping little place for the en-
tertsinnent Of the bsnighted traveller for

In this lonely place this secluded spot, far
from the scenes of his youthful Joys, did the
gallant 81. Clair breath his life out. bu' ere he
descended to the grave, he asked { lirc all.
for charity's cake from his government. Sos
sion after ression, on foot, did he travel TO the
seat of government, to beg for succor, nor was
!, till a few months previous to his demise, that
Congress granted to hIln, a miserable stipend,
TO cloihe his nakedncss, and keep the wolf
from his door. Poor old soldier! Alas gallant
but unfortunate chieitain, what were not thy
wrongs-what sriierings didst thou not endsre?
Fortune ,fowncd upon thee-year after year
tho chilling blasts of winter howled around thy
miserable habita,.on. and at last, thou de-
scendcd, miserable, and nbioct TO the grave!
We repeat, we would offer every respect to
the venerable Carroll Of Carrolton, but whilst

hope that no distinction " III be made, and that

by Mr.. Ine@am, and opposed in a pertinent,

1t was not made party question, and the only

ourselves with saying, that IRE have not

Of its being forced upon the public, with all

willingly do tho Gazette tho least harm, but if

hJDocroR Uowa'S NARRATIVE We
refer the reader to the very ia:r,as;.:g narra-
tive Of Doctor Howe, whica will Oc icIni "n
our first page, and which .nst be read ctE
intense interest and great satisfaction, oy all
who wish for the consummation of Grecian
emancipation. Doctor Howe. has spent Sow
oral years in the service Of Greece, and from
the numerous opportunities he has had, is far
better prepared than almost any other individ-
ual, who has written in relation to the affairs
OF that distracted and distressed country, to
give a correct view Of its conditIon.-The
state Of the Gre can affairs. are happily and
fully illustr1ied by Doctor Howe, and present
an account Of the dreadful condition Of that
country, which cannot fail to awaken the SYM
pathIss Of the human heart, and call forth all
the better feelings Of o,r natures.
Politicians have differed as to the propriety
Of our participating in the affairs of Greece,
and though it may be a fact, that many of the
modern Greeks,are as'ferocious and tyrannical
as the modern Turk, still, when we consider
what the former has suffered at the hands OF
the latter, for more than five hundred years,
we must be irresistably led 10 lament their
condition, and to offer them that aid which we
ean we'll afford If by thus doing, we can in the
least assert them towards the casting off Of
the Massulman yoke Of bondage. We once
more, warmly and emphaiicslly recommend
the perusal Of Doctor Howe's Narratve,to tho
especial attention. Of our respected patrons
and readers, and to the public at large.

PROVIDENCE. SATURDAY, MARCH l.
DEATH OF GEN. BROWN.

Tho painful duty sevolves upon us, (ssys the
Intelligencsr OF Monday Of announcing the
iecesse Of Major General JACOB BROWN,
Comma ndor in Chiof Of the Army of the Unit
ed States. Ho expired at his residence in thu
city, yesterday, after brief illness Of three or
four days. prscedod by general indispositon
Of longer duration.
His name is too intimately interviewer with
the history Of his country, to make it neces-
sary 10 accompany this annunciation, with any
reference to his public life services. His in
dvidual merits arc too universally appreciated
to need to be blazoned by the pen Of eulogy.
At q future day we shall sndeayour to do JUS
tce so hi, eminent desert as soldier and cit
iren, in their proper eoors, tho example of his
illus.rious deeds and his blameless and virtuous
private Life.
The editor Of the NJ York, Telegraph, in
noticing the death ef General Brown, says:
General Brown was born in the,sate Of
New-York, and was by birth a member Of the
Society of Friends; but by disuniting himself
from the peaceful sect to which he belonged,
at the call Of his country, during the last war,
and taking upon him the part of the soldier,
which he dcharged TO the great advantage of
the nation, and to his own honor and glory,
he has gwen to his name place in history,
too conspicuous TO require any accompanying
comments. As a soldier he was distinguished
by bravery, self-possesson and prudence; and
es man he is spoken Of as being blameless
and exemplary"
B-igadier General ScsTT, is the next officer
in rank to Gen. Broa, :, and will without doubt
be appointed his successor
