Among the thousand rumors of the day. we
hear that Gov. Van Ness of Vermont, will proba-
bly, be sent TO the Court Of Brussels, as one of
tho American Commissioners for settling the
questions in dispute with the British Government.
concerning our North eastern boundary; which
questions have been referred to the mediation
OF the King OF the Netherlands. Perhaps no APP
pointment to such mission could be more accepta-
Die to the country generally, and the Eastern
STATES particularly, than that Of Gov. Van Ness;
VINO, with highly respectable talents, extensive
legal, POLITICAL and literary requirements and in
dustry, promptitude and accuracy in business,
unltes the advantage OF being well and tavorabIy
known in various public employments. He has
been long known among the most distinguished
members Of the Bar in Vermont; has been Chief
Justice and Governor of that State; in both of
which stations, particularly in the first, he ac-
quired a high regulations; and was Collector for
the Port OF Burlington during several years, in
Guiding the whole period of the late warm
which post he possessed more than common OPP
portunities for becoming acquainted with our re-
iations with the British Government. but what
particularly qualities him for such appointment, is
the fact, that he was one of the Commissioners for
seulng our Northern Boundary, under the third
article Of the Treaty of Client; in which employ
ment. he was enabled to become acquainted with
the whole subject now in contest between the u
States and Great Britain. l should suppose, that
such appointment could not fail oil being satisfac-
tory to the public.

A CARD.
In reference TO the late Controversy on the
subject OF the Fever at the University, Civis
deems II necessary TO state, that he received his
information from persons residing within the pre-
cincts OF the University, who incapable OF in
territorial error. In regard to the only material
fact, concerning which there is a direct variance
IN the statements-viz: the number Of cases in the
Pavlons-it is sufficient justification Of Civis
and his informants, that to many residing within
the University, and to most persons in the neigh
borhood, the cases alluded TO were not known as
| cases Of Typhus, but considered as slight, occa-
sional indspositions. He would not, however, be
understood as hereby impugning the statement OF
the attendant Physician, whose means of nfor-
nation and judgment will, no doubt, be regarded
as a sufficient guarantee for its accuracy. The
error in the quantity of plank, could only originate
in the inaccuraey attending rough calculations,
not founded on actual measurement. CIVIS

Communication from +" A Merchant" on the sub.
ject OF reported contemplated change in the Con-
sui at Liverpooi in the sentiments and feelings of
which, l fully and entirely concur. But, in order
to prevent any misunderstanding Of the latter part
OF it, think it well to state, that when the free
dom OF the City was rendered to Mr.. Maury, (the
Consul,) he declined the acceptance of it, on the
ground, that it was incompatible with his charsc-
ter, an officer of the United States, to receive
any privileges from Foreign Government or peo-
