OS FOR CARRYING ON THE WAR
WITH MEXICO.
3SSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
e following is tbo Message and accompa
documents, submitted to the Senate on
lay, by the President, in answer to a reso
of the Senate of June 3, 1846, calling for
lation relative to the mode of raising
for carrying on the war with Mexico.
! Senate of the United Slates:
answer to the resolution of the Senate of
1 inst., I communicate herewith estimates
red by the War and Navy Departments,

war with Mexico, during the remainder

I communicate, also, a report of the Sec
of the Treasury, based upon these esti
i, containing recommendations of measures
ising the additional means required. It
bable that the actual expenses incurred

larger number of troops than have yet
called to the field. As a precautionary
urc, however, against any possible defi

st amount which any state of the service
require.
will be perceived from the report of the !
itary of the Treasury that a considerable
>n of the additional amount required may
ised by a modification of the rates of duty j
sed by the existing tariff laws. The high '
s at present levied on many articles total
elude them from importation, whilst the
tity and amount of others which are im
sd are greatly diminished. By reducing
i duties to a revenue standard, it is not |
ted that a largo amount of the articles 011
h they are imposed would be imported,
1 corresponding amount of revenue be re
id at the treasury from this source. By I
ising revenue duties on many articles now
fitted to be imported free of duty, ftftd by j
lating the rates within the revenue stand- j
ipon others, a large additional revenue will
filected. Independently of the high con
ations which induced me, in my annual
sage, to recommend a modification and re
ion of the rates of duty imposed by the act
342 as being not only proper in reference

Washington, June IG, 1846.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Juno 15, 1816.
SIR: I have duly considered the resolution of
e Senate, of the 3d of June, 1846, together
ith the estimates of the Secretary of the Navy,
'the 9th inst., and df the Secretary of War,
'the 13th inst., submitted by you to this de
irtment, and respectfully report to you as fol
ws:
It appears that the aggregate estimated ex
enditures of the War and Navy Departments
ir the fiscal years terminating on the 30th ot
une, 1846, and the 30 th of June, 164", amount
i $23,952,904, over and above the estimates
lade by these departments in December last,
nd then submitted in my annual report to Con
ress. In that report it was supposed by this
Bpartmont, that upon tho expenditures then
itirnated for a state of peace, there would ro
lainon the Ist of July, 1847, a balance in the
•easury of $1,332,441 07., Deducting this
alanco from the excess of expenditures above
stimated by the War and Navy Departments,
lere would result a deficiency of $19,620,463.
It is believed, however, that this deficiency
jvill, from augmented receipts accrued and ac
cruing for the fiscal years 1846 and 1841, be

I'KIXTKD AXD PUBLISHED EVERY MORXHG, BY BULL & TUTTLE, No. 131 BALTIMORE STREET, BALTIMORE. Jld
diminished four millions of dollars, which would
reduce the deficit on the Ist of Julv, 1547, to
4,15,620,463.
It is ascertained by experience, that for the
certain, prompt, and convenient p<u*fc.nt ofthe
public creditors, at all times and plAßtiirough
out our extended territory, and tlWpupply of
the mint and branch mints for coinage, a sum
of lour millions of dollars, especially during a
state of war, must remain on hand in the treas
ury, which would again raiso the sum to be
provided for before the 30th of June, 1847, to
$19,620,463.
it is believed, however, that a sum equal to
55,534,057 of additional revenue may be pro
duced by the modification of the tariff herein
proposed—namely, to adopt, as a basis, the hill
reducing the tariff reported by the Committee
of Ways and Means to the House of Represen
tatives on the 14th of April last, together with
the augmented and additional duties now pro
posed and enumerated in schedule A. Tiiis
change of the bill reported by the committee,
omitting the fourth section, would make an ad
dition to the revenue to be produced by that
bill, of 54,034,057.
After a very careful examination of the ad
ditional data which it has been in my power to
obtain since the month of February last, it is
iny conviction that the bill of the committee
will produce a net revenue of at least twenty
six millions of dollars. If to this bo added the
additional duties proposed to be levied in sched
ule A, the bill of the committee, with the mod
ifications embraced in that schedule, would
produce a net revenue of 34,057. This
would make an addition of $5,534,057 to the
revenue that would be produced under the ac
of the 30th of August, 1542. If, then, we det
duct this $5,534,057 from the deficit above es
timated, it would still leave a deficit of $14,-
086,406.
If, in addition to the modifications of the tar
iff above suggested, the warehousing system
were ad pted, as rocotnmended in my annual
report of December last, it would make an ad
dition to the annual revenue from customs of
one million of dollars, which deducted from tho
above deficit, would leave a deficiency still re
maining of $13,086,406.
It is true that the introduction of the ware
housing system might diminish the revenue du
ling a portion of the first year succeeding its
adoption; but that it would add one million of
dollars per annum to the permanent annual
revenue from customs is not doubted.
It is believed also that the reduction and gra
duation of the price of the public lands in favor
of settlers and cultivators, as recommended in
your message of December last, would make
an annual addition of halfa million of dollars
to the revenue derivable from the proceeds of
the sales of the public lands, by bringing into
market many millions of acres ofthe public do
main which are wholly unsaleable at the pre
sent minimum price established by law. De
ducting this sum of half a million of dollars
from the deficit last above mentioned, would
leave still unprovided for tho sum of $12,586,-
405, which must be met by loan, treasury
notes, direct taxation, or excises.
In addition to the strong objections which
have been urged against direct taxes and exci
ses, it. would be difficult to put in operation
such a system in all the states and Territories,
so as to "realize the required amount in cash,
before the 30th of June, 184". A system of
direct taxes and excises, it is believed, would
not meet the sanction of the people, unless in
1 the emergency of a war with some great rnari
! time nation, exposing our commerce to great
hazard, and greatly reducing the revenue from
duties on imports.
The only remaining means for supplying this
i deficit within the required period, is by loans
I or treasury notes; and I would accordingly re
commend, with a view to the most vigorous
! prosecuting of the existing war with Mexico,
so as to bring it to a speedy and honorable ter
mination, that a contingent authority should
bo vested in this department, with your sanc
i tion. to issue treasury notes, or effect a lean of
\ a sum in the aggregate not exceeding the last
I abov<.mentioned deficit of $12,586,406.
I think it would bo most advantageous to
the government, that a portion of this money
should be raised by treasury notes, and the re
mainder by loans, limiting the interest in both
cases to a rate not exceeding six per cent, per
annum, and forbidding the negotiation in ei
ther case below the par value, if the authori
ty were limited so as to cover this deficit, and
the power given to resort to loans or treasury
notes, or both, as the emergency might re
quire, the money might be raised at a much
lower rate of interest than if the department
were confined either to loans alone, or to trea
sury notes. The experience of the Govern
ment has demonstrated that there are periods
when loans are most available, and that there
are occasions when treasury notes are much
better adapted to meet the emergency; and the
power to select both, or either, from time to
rune, would render the negotiation more cer
tain, and probably save a very large amount of
interest to the government. If the war should
be speedily terminated, it is possible that are
sort to loans or treasury notes might not be re •
quired, or it so, for an inconsiderable amount.
The same power that is now given by law to re
deem the loan, even before its maturity, when
-1 ever the funds of the government will permit,
so as to liquidate any public debt as speedily as
possible, should be continued, as also the au
thority for the reissue of the treasury notes as
heretofore provided by law, as well as for their
receipt in revenue payments.
The additional duties designated in schedule
A, are recommended as a war measure, and to
terminate with the restoration of peace, or as
soon thereafter as the state of the public finan
ces will permit their discontinuance.
I have the honor to be, sir, most respectful
ly, your obedient servant,
11. J. WALKER, Sec. of the Treasury.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, June 13, 1546.
SIR: I have the honor herewith to submit to
you the estimates which have been made at
this department, to enable you to answer the
resolution of the Senate, of tho 3d instant, re
questing to be furnished with an estimate of the
amount of money required during the present
and next fiscal year for such a prosecution of
the existing war with Mexico as will most like
ly result in its speedy and honorable termina
tion. .
These estimates are made upon the assump
tion that the regular army will soon be filled to
its maximum, which will amount to 15,500
mon, and that a volunteer force of 20,000 foot,
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1846.
and 5,000 mounted nten, is to be at once organ
ized. received into service, and kept therein
until the end of the next fiscal year—to wit:
to the 30th of June, 1817. The estimates are
made for an army of over 40,000 men, mostly
operating in the field, in an enemy's country,
deriving their supplies principally from the ti
nned States.
How long it will bo before the regular army
can be filled up to the extent authorized by law
will depend upon success in recruting. Its
numbers as yet do not much exceed one half its
maximum. It is hoped thai in a few months
the ranks w ill be nearly filled; its average total
number through the next fiscal year will not
probably exceed 12,500.
The number of volunteers actually caliedfor
immediate service, by virtue of yourorders un
der the act of 13th of May last, will amount
to about 18,000, and whether a greater number
will or will not be required for the ensuing cam
paign cannot now be determined. Should the
number already called for be deemed sufficient
for the successful prosecution of the war, the
estimates being made on a basis exceeding that
number by seven thousand, will be found pro
portionably too large.
Should these views as to the extent of the
regular and volunteer force be realized, the ar
my will not exceed 50,000 men; and all or near
ly all the estimates presented herewith might be
reduced one-fourth in amount; yet it is impos
sible to foresee the exigencies of the service.—
It may require the full amount of the force on
which the estimates have been made, and even
more; and 1 have riot therefore felt at liberty
to make any reductions of the estimates pre
sented by the several branches of this depart
ment.
I take the liberty to direct your particular
attention to the estimates of the quartermas
ter general. You will perceive they are large,
very largo, and I hope much exceed the expen
ditures which may be required. They are
made on the supposition tiiat our army will
penetrate far into the interior of the enemy's
country, and that all supplies, and munitions
will necessarily be transported on long lines
and those far from being easily travered.—
Should the enemy's country abound in forage,
the expense of transportation will be greatly
reduced; but the uncertainty as to the country
to be invaded, and the still greater uncertainty
as to its resources, do not warrant deductions
to be made on the estimated items for sup
plies, and the transportation of them to pla
ces where they may be needed. Should tiie
navigation of the Rio Grande be found prac
ticable fur steamboats of light draught to Car
mago. or above, much will be saved probably
by the use of that river, yet considerable sums
must be expended in the purchase of boats,
&c.
It is further to bo observed that 110 inconsid
erable amount of the expenses which will fall
on the quartermaster's department, i 3 in the
nature of an outfit, and would not be required
to be repeated should the war be protracted be
yond the next fiscal year. The estimates in
the quartermaster's department are made with
out much regard to the chances favorable to
diminished expenses. Provision had not been
made (for the restricted appropriations in past
years would not permit it to be made) for a
sudden augmentation of our force to four times
its usual amount. The necessity of making
such a provision on the shortest notice will
greatly increase the cost of it, and this falls
mainly on tho quartermaster's department. It
is hoped that the actual expenses of this branch
of the service will fall some two or three mil
lions short of the full estimates hero presented,
yet this is not so certain as to authorize the de
pa! tment to cut them down in that amount.
I am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
W. L. MARCY.

EMBALMING A BODY. A stranger from Alle
gany county, N. Y. who died at Pittsburg a
few days since, previous to his death requested
that his body might be sent home to his family.
This rendered embalming necessary, which op
oration was performed by Dr. Fahenstock.—
The Chronicle says:
He first severed the articles of the neck, and
then proceeded to inject a solution of arsenic,
highly impregnated, into each severally, until
he became satisfied that the fluid had found its
way into every vain and avenue throughout
tlie entire body. The arteriesjwero then tight
ly closed by cords, to exclude the air, and the
body adjusted in its shroud and coffin, without
any apparent mutilation. This is sai'd to be
an entirely new process of embalming, and as
such is worthy of attention. Several medical
: gentlemen, we understand were witnesses of
the operation, and attested its practicability.—
| It is said that this mode of embalming will
j keep the body perfect for many years.

VERA CRUZ, June I, 1816.
The Consuls ofthe neuter nations have pro
tested against the blockade of this port, declared
on the 20th of last month by the commandant
ofthe U. S. fleet, which allows only 15 days
for foreign vessels to leave the port. The
principal portion of tho American fleet is now
at lsla Vords, and tiie American men-of-war
St. Mary's and Falmouth, and a small brig,
are cruising before Tampico.
Many families are leaving this oily for the in
terior. Wo are now hero as in 1338, with the
only difference that tho Castle is in a better con
dition.
After much delay the Congress ofthe nation
had tho first meeting on the 27th, Senor Busla
meute (the ex-president) being appointed Pre
sident of the same, and it is generally believed
that Pa redes will be elected legal President of
the Republic.
It is said that Paredes will march over to I
Matamoras at the Itead of a strong army, the .
largest portion composed from the body of!
troops called Reseree.
The day for the departure of the army is fix- j
ed already, but nobody knows it. Gen. Bravo i
will occupy the Presidency ad interim.
The suspension of and
business remained in the worst condition. The }
Government had called a meeting for the pur- j
pose of procuring resources, which I believe can j
hardly be obtained, because the clergy is not j
able to pay the amount of #9O ,000 monthly, i
asked by the Government; and on the other
hand tiie actual condition of the several States
is not such as to expect from them any resour- ,
ccs.
[From the Picayune, 10th instant.]
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
W'e have been gratified by an interview with
Mr. Dimond, our former Consul at Vera Cruz,
who sailed from that city in the U. S. steam
ship Mississippi on the 3th tilt. Mr. Dimond
informs us that Santa Anna's arrival was daily j
expected by many persons in Vera Crtiz, and
that tire country was ripe for his reception. A
plan of a new revolution had been published,
based upon the Constitution of 1827, upon
which it was supposed the Federal and the
Santa Anna parties would unite. The Fede
ralists were unable to make head against the
Government by themselves; but when joined
by Santa Anna's adherents, the success of the
two combined could scarcely be doubtod. In
this plan the Texas question was slurred over
—nothing being said about it. -Mr. Dimond
thought it quite probable that Santa Anna and
Almonte would arrive at Vera Cruz by the
next steamer from Havana—this, however, was
doubled by some well-informed parties.
The period for the general elections had
passed, and it was not thought that a sufficient
number of Congressmen were elected to form
a quorum. Paredes is waiting for the meeting
of Congress, to get permission to leave the seat
of Government at the head of 10,000 men—
avowedly fertile Rio Grande—but the better
opinion seemed to be tiiat this force was de
signed for his own protection.
The death of the Archbishop was a heavy
blow to the monarchical party. Upon his
death-bed the ambitious prelate regretted that
his life could no' be spared to assist in consum
mating the schemes of that faction. AVith him
the hopes of the monarchists have died.
The Departments are pronouncing against
Paredes in eveiy direction. Ilis heavy de
mands upon the churches and the Stales have
rendered him more unpopular than before. !t
is not thought lie can maintain his power for
any considerable length of time.
Mr. Dimond relates one or two circumstances
which are extremely credible to Gen. Bravo,
who is in command of the forces at Vera Cruz.
Shortly after the breaking out of hostilities, a
council of war was held at which it was voted
to seize the American vessels, then in port, as
prizes. But Gen. Bravo would not abide by
this decision. He allowed several vessels to
depart with heavy cargoes, because, as he said,
"they had entered the port in good faith, and
they should be allowed to depart in good faith."
Wh'en Mr. Dimond goton board of the Mis
sissippi, there were several Mexican vessels
anchored under the guns of the squadron, tak
en as prizes. Upon being told of the liberal
conduct ofGon- Bravo, Capt. Gregory released
the vessels and sent them into port with a letter
to Gen. Bravo, stating as a reason for his so do
ing, that he had allowed American vessels to
depart unmolested from Vera Cruz. Gen. Bra
vo sent an answer to Capt. Gregory the next
day, under a flag of truce. In this note, which
we have seen, Gen. Bravo disclaims any title
to praise forhis conduct, upon the scoro of mag
nanimity, but modestly places his actions upon
the broad grounds of national law, and sanctity
of private property belonging to innocent pur
ties. In this connection, too, we may mention
that Mr. Dimond received every attention and
courtesy from Gen. Bravo and thcXlollcctor of
Vera Cruz, prior to his departure.
It happened that on one of these vessel re
leased by Capt. Gregory, there was a Colonel
of tho Mexican army—a nephew of Gen. Lt t
Vega. Sumo doubts aioso as to tho propriety
of allowing a military prisoner to return to his
country. Capt. Gregory asked him iflie was
willing to give his parole. "Yes," was tho re
ply. "But," said the Col., "I am a prisoner
now—l was one of tiie persons uho declared
for Santa Anna, and am now a prisoner sent
from Tebasco to the fort of San Juan deUlua,"
Ho was allowed to go ashore without his pa
role.
The Castle of San Juan do Ulua is represent
ed to be in tho highest state of prepaiation. A
water battery lias been erected in connection
with tho old fort, and they mount between
them two hundred guns of the largest calibre.—
It appears to be well understood, however, in
our naval service, that the strength of the Cas
tic by no moans ensures the safety of the city of
Vera Crus.
Recruiting for the Army was going on at
Vera Cruz; but only a few men, and those of
the lowest sort, were found willing to enlist.—
In the City of Mexico, Government expresses
arrived frequently from the Army; but as noth
ing of tiieir contents wore allowed to transpire
of late, the impression was that the Mexicans
has met with disaster.
In regard to the large English squadron upon
the Pacific, Mr. Dimoud is of the opinion that
those vessels had been sent out with reference
to the Oregon question. He does not think it
probable that they have any instructions respec
ting the war with Mexico, or the seizure of Cal
ifornia in consequence of the war. Touching
this matter however, there is room for doubt.—
I'he British licet off Western Mexico was quite
large, and it the other fleets ill the Pacific join
it, as was expected by some, it would be a vory
formidable force.
■Mr. Dimond, previous to leaving, drew up and
forwarded to the Mexican Government, a ro-
monstrance against the order rcquiririii our citi
zens to leave within eight days or withdraw into
the interior. The sixteenth article of tho Ircaty
between the United Stales and Mexico provides
that, in case ol war, the citizens of each country
living on the seaboard shall he entitled to six
months', and those residing in the interior to 12
months' notice to leave the country.
GEN. TAVLOR. The Louisville Courier, in
speaking of Gen. Taylor, says:
He was raised and educated in this county,
and always has considered it and regards it as
his home. His father, Co). Richard Taylor,
was an officer in the Old Continental army, and
died at his residence near this city about ten
years since. He was an elector in this distiict
for Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and for Henry
Clay the first time he was a candidate for the
Presidency.
Gen. Taylor at present owns several valua
ble houses and lots on Wall street, in this city.
He also owns a large plantation in Mississippi,
arid a smaller one in Louisiana.

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided anditiiprudeitt votary of plea
sure finds he hasimbfbod the t< ed i of this painfai dis
ease, it too often happens that an t'l-tiin'd sense of
sham. . or dread of discuvery, deters linn from apply
ing to those who, front education and tespectabiiity
can alor.e befriend him, delaying till t.be con-iituaonal
symptoms nl this horrid disease make their appear
ance, shied as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs.diumcssoi sight,
deafness, nodi s on the shin bom s and nrms, hlotcr.ei
on the head, taceand extremities, progressing on with
I rightful rapidity,till at last the palate of'the mouth or
the bone ! ofthenose fall in and the victim of this aw
fji disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration,
till death puts a period to his dreadful Bufferings, by
sending bun to "that bourne whence no traveller re
turns." To such, therefote, Dr. JOHXSTt)N pii cures
himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the first liospa&ls of
Europe and America, lie can confidently recommend
a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of
this Itotiid disease.
it is a melancholy fact, that thousands fail victim
to this horrid disease, owing to lite unskillfulness oi
men, who by the use of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruiu the constitution, and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residua
of bis life miserable.
GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by the
most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known to
no other physician. It requires no restraint of diet,
or hindrance from business—it is mild, safe and effi ;
cacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection,
without causing other diseases, such as STRICTCM
and AFFECTIONS OF THE Bt,ADDER and PROSTRATB
GLAND, which imp/rics and quacks so olbett create
their noxious drugs and filthy infections,
STRICTURES—when there is a partial supprct
sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in the
parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called
Stricture. Yet litis disease may exist, and none OT
these symptoms he perceptible, or if at all, they ara
so slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thou
sands laboring under this affection who are entirely
unconscious of it—such persons become weak in the
parts, seldom Aoee children, and in the later stage* of
this complain; are incapable of enjoying Marriage—
their systems become deranged, particularly ' the
stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar tits ot melancholy, &c.
S;c. which may end in some dreadful disease of tha
nerves, and will eilher cajse a premature death or
else make the rest of life miserable. To such tier
sons, L)r. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy
that can be obtained in the United Stales.

TARE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
1 Young men wlie have injured themselves by acer
| tain practice indulged in when alone—a habit tre
, quemiy learned from evil companions, or at school—
the effects of which are nightly felt even when asleep,
and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and ae
; stroys both mind and body.
I What a pity that a young man, the hope of hi*
country, and the darling of his parents, should be
, snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of
! life by the consequences of deviating from the path of
nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
J fhnttld reflect that a sound mid body are the most
I necessary requisites to promote 'connubial happiness,
: Indeed, without these, the journey through life be
comes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ens to the view—the mind becomes shadowed with
despair, and filled witii the melancholy reflection, that
the happiness of another becomes blighted with our
; own.

Pr. J. addresses young ir:" n and all w ito have in'
jured themselves by private fc improper indulgences,
i IMFO TEXCE— WEAKNESS OF THE UEXI
T.IL ORGMXS.
Loss of virile powr r - tie penalty mostfre.j uently
paid by those who give a loose rein or license totheir
passions. Young petsons are too apt to comniitex
, cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occui? from
stricture, depositee in the urine, gravel, and from nu
; merous othei causes, yet the ahue of the sexual or
i gaits, by excessive venery or self-pollution; particu
iarly the latter is the more frequent cause of u, \ow
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
| that the power of procreating the species is lost soon
er by those who pracliee the solitary rice than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di
gestive functions are deranged, an! liie physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
, great excitement of tlie genital organs. Parents and
I guaidinns are often misled, with respect to tho
I causes or sources of disease in their sons and wards,
j How often do they ascribe to oiher causes the wast
! ing of the frame, idiotcy, madness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, derangement of the nervous sys
j tem, cough and sytntoms, indicating consumption,
: when the truth is that they have been caused by in
ditlging in a pernicious, though alluring practice,"des
! tructivc to both initid and body.
IN VOL UNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
or Utis distressing is the common
result of >he above mentiomnisecref hat it, but a very
brief description for litany n asoi;s,can bdgiven here.
The complaint comes on gradually. It begins by a
too hasty discharge of semen in copulative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have nopower, while the erections are feeble, imper
fect and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily ex
cited and frequent, often brought on by lascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part. In this deplo
rable case, the emissions take plaet without any
pleasure and without erection, and hi this debilitated
ami sensitive ,tate of the organs the diiefttl effects ol
pollution so ruinous to health, take [ |„ C t day and
night. Pale, emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
tim of artificial gratification comnluim m pain in the
head and hack, has a languid look, dimness of sight,
flushing of the face when spoken to, li.wi.uss of spi
rits, and a vague dread of something, often starting
with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also
loaths society, from an innate sense of shame, and
feels a dislike to all bodily and mental exertion.
Distressed, ami his mind Axed upon his miseries, he
slyly searches every source that promises relief.
Ashamed lo make known hi situation to his friends,
or those who by education, study,arid practical know
lodge, are able lo relieve him, lie applies to the igno
rant and designing, who filch him of his pecuniar
substance, r.nd Instead of restoring him to heatlth,
leave him lo sigh over his galling disappointment; the
last scene of the drama winds up with mania, cata
lepsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease of the nerves
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhapp
patient to an untimely tomb, where his friends
totally ignorant of the teal cause.
