Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1834-05-08

We find the following paragraph IN the 1Aiiie-
rican Sentinel of Monday
sWe understand, that, in consequence OF the
&C al f1iculties which have occurred between the
&C rnuernment of the United States Bank and
mfbe Committee of Investigation sent on to this
city by the House of Representatives, the lat
g ter set off yesterday on their return to Wash
g ington."
The report thus renewed, is, we believe,
AGAIN premature. But as we have, In reference
to the doings of this very committee, Official au
thorty for saying that coming events cast their
shadows before" we have very little doubt,
from what we hear, that, if not true now, II VIII
come true. For if all be true that is reported,
the demands of the committee are OF the most
unreasonable and exceptionable character that
can be conceived Of What do our readers
think, for example, Of an august committee OF
Congress, appointed under chartered right
calling upon the officers of the Bank of the
United States from the President of the Institu-
ton down to the Porter, for copies OF all letters,
on any subject in any way connected with the
Bank, or the public deposites. private affairs,
qphich the said officers may hare received from
Members of Congress, within the last taoo gears?
We do not believe that, under the surveillance
of the French police in the EXTREMIST despotlsm
of the Imperial or Royal government OF that
country, when no passed the letter Post Office with
IMMUNITY. there was ever attempted more scan
daious invasion ofprivate rights or OF the sane
tity with which, in every free country literary
intercourse is regarded Int.

We have received the Sd number of the Bal
tin1ore Medical and Surgical Journal and Re-
yiep. edited by Professor Geddings of the Uni
versity of Maryland, and published in this city
by Carey Hart & Co.
This number contains several engravings and
wood-cuts one of which represents singular
case of deformity in young woman, now TWEEN
ty wears of age, living in Ashville, North Caro-
lima She was born completely destitute both OF
arms and legs, the situation OF which is merely
indicated by small round projections; thus being,
in fact mere human trunk surmounted by a
head. She possesses remarkable power of To-
comotion, and can transport herself over the
floor with ease, by submitting her body to kind
of rotary motion, alternately from right to left,
and the contrary. BY combining the handle OF
a broom between her chin and shoulder, she
can sweep the floor with considerable deXterity.
She can also sit erect lean back or rock herself
in chair as well as another person, and when
any thing is given her she makes sign for it
to be placed on her shoulder. lfit be any So
