Pathetic Epicedium!-The editor of the Ston-

EN- Of 500 lines OH the death of James Monroe,
which came too late for this number; the author
may expect 1t IN the next, and if he can enjoy
anticipation, he will probably be happy till quacks
cease to oHiciate, when we will publish his com
munication; which, if it does not set the reader
into violent spasms. it will have the tendency to
Iull HIM into that sleep from which there is no
waking. But, 'pon the honor Of the poem, we
do say that the lives Of our patrons would be en-
dangered by reading it. As a life-taker tits far
preferable TO steam or the essence of poppy. Will
the author IN his sober moments have the q od-
ness to try il? One verse we cannot refrain from
giving now. Hear the harplngs Of this son of

The state of the British Foreign Relations,
was extensively debated in the Lords, on the
e4th-the Earl Of Aberdeen making some en-
quiries which produced the discussion, Earl Grey
declined answering any Of the questions, but OBJ
served, respecting the conductof France towards
Portugal, that the French were only pursuing
the course that would have been adopted BY Eng
land under similar circumstances. His Lord
ship attributed many of the difficulties which
now characterized foreign affairs to the princi.
Piles that had unfortunately heretofore been acted
upon. The Duke of Wellington submitted that
the difficulties chiefly resulted from the events
Of Paris and Brussels. His Grace, however,
strongly recommended that all possible friend
ship should be maintained between England and
France.

Coz. Branch The following letter from Gov.
Branch to the editor, confirms what has before
been said by Mr.. Berrien and Me-. Ingham.
ENFIELD. August 1st, 1851.
SIR: | have observed in the Globe, which came
to hand by the last mail, the following paragraph
in Mr.. Blair's letter of the 2lst of July to Judge
Berrien: When the statement which | made,
predicated upon Col. Johnson's letter, was i'm
peached in your second note, / made the applica-
ton to the President which you seem to think l
ought now to make. He Immediately put into
nv hands the original memorandum which he
wrote, aud which he read to Messrs. Branch, Ing
ham, and yourself, &C."
cannot believe that Gen. Jackson has author
lied any person to say that he ever read, or made
known to me. the paper or memorandum men
toned. Ii he has, then we are at issue. No
paper of the kind was ever read, or made known
10 me, by Gen. Jackson, to the best Of my know
ledge and belief. have as yet prepared no mar.
rative of the circumstances connected with the
dismissal of Mr.. Ingham, Judge Berrien, and
myself; and, in truth, where is the necessity noV
for me to do so!
The President, in his letter to Mr.. Ineham.
Judge Berrien, and myself. saws, that The Wart
of harmony IN the Cabinet" &c. was the cause
of our dismissal; or in other words, for his reor-
gaai2ation; and Judge Berrien and Mr.. lngham,
I know, have truly interpreted the meaning of
this mystical expression-want Of harmony.
have too much respect for the intelligence of
the American people to believe that they will be
at any loss TO arrive at an accurate conclusion
from the facts already placed in their possession.
II, however, it becomes necessary hereafter for
me to appear before the public, trust that | shall
unaesitatingly do so.

Academy of Sciences has been greatly engrossed
during the las two months concerning the very
important inquiry, how far the dreadful disease
which has made such ravages through the south
ern provinces of Russia, aud appears gradually
proceeding westward through Europe, can he
deem I'd a pestiiential or contagious disease! The
French medical men, like those of their profess
ion in this country, are equally at issue on this
question, "a on that OF the true nature of the DIS
ease called the Plague. DR., Jahinichen, an em-
inent physician of Moscow, who has had much
practice and observation on the cholera, gives
his opinion that the disease is neither directly,
nor Indirectly. contagious or epidemic, out that
it derives its origin from some specific miasma,
or aerial poison i'll the atmosphere: at The same
time, that the predisposlng cause, whether aris-
ing from gaseous mlasma, poisonous vapour
from vegetable putrifaction, or any other original
source, would be greatly aided by a person in
health being compelled to breathe the air Of a
house or hospital where the disease already ex-
lists. This doctrine is so perfectly analogous to
that of the modern treatment OF all classes Of fe-
yer as almost to carry conviction OF ITS truth upon
the face of it, yet it is difficult to satisfy a whole
nation. or even the major portion OF a large COM
munity, that a disease which has made such raw
ages as the cholera of Moscow (Which is said to

deemed non-contagious.-As there appears to be
nothing epidemic in this disease, according to
DR.. Jahinichen. but that it is produced by certain
local atmospheric influence not distinctly under
stood, nor perhaps capable of being guarded "a
gainst. it's, to say the least, absurd, as some
Journals do, to recommend Government to resort
to the rigorous measure at a quarantine on all
Baltic vessels. The only precautiOn recon-
meuded as a preventive measure against this for
midable disease, is that of preserving good venti-
iation in houses and hospitals, & good wholesome
food. Want of attention to the latter point is,
probably, the parent cause Of the disease; for we
