The Case of McL-ecd. The newspapers and the Washington letter writers have been prolific with speculations and surmises during the last ten days, touching the character of the despatches brought to Mr. Fox by the steamship President, in regard to the case of McLeod. There is a general agree ment in every circle, that the British Govern ment has determined to assume the entire re sponsibility of the attack upon the Caroline, and that her shield is to be interposed for the protection of McLeod, charged by "the people of the state of New York" with the murder of the unfortunate man wno fell in the melee. Such, doubtless 'ts the fact, and the despatch es received by Mr. Fox unquestionably relate in chief to this matter. The next point of con sideration is the tone of these despatches. Ru mor has made that tone lofty and belligerent; and such is the commendable circumspection with which cabinet discussions are now con ducted, that although the writer has been an at tentive observer of men and things at Washing ton for the month past, he has been able to ob tain no hint, even of a semi-official character, either to sustain or invalidate the rumor. But, while at Washington, the writer received a let ter from a distinguished American gentleman in London, dated on the 9th of February, which, together with intimations that have dropped from the British legation at Washington, leave no doubt as to the entire character of the de spatches in question. From the American cabinet, the public may rely upon it, there will be no premature disclo sures; but we nevertheless entertain no doubt that whenever those disclosures do come to light, it will appear, first, that the British Govern ment avows the capture and destruction of the Caroline as itsown act. It demands the lelease of McLeod. The demand, though peremptory, is made in terms perfectly courteous. Her Majesty's Government hopes that it will be re ceived and responded to, in a manner that will render it unnecessary to order the withdrawal of her minister from the Government of the United States. Such, we doubt not, is the tenor, in brief, of the despatch from Mr. Fox, which, for several days past, has been the subject of earnest cab inet consideration at Washington. Meantime we feel no hesitation in expressing our belief that Mr. Fox has already in his possession the order of his Government to demand his pass ports and withdraw from the seat of Govern ment, whenever the demand shall be refused. Such we believe to be the position of this vex atious question at Washington. j Fortunately the destinies of the nation are now in the hands of men in all respects ade quate to any crisis that can arise either in our foreign or domestic relations. Meantime, with excellent forecast, the distinguished pacificator. General Scott, has been ordered to the frontier, to remain during the forthcoming trial of McLe od, and it is suggested that Mr. Crittenden, the new Attorney General, will be on the spot, to speak the voice of the American cabinet, should occasion require.

The Utica Ob server says that a new article for stuffing cushions, sofas, mattresses, &c, has been lately manufactured in that city. It is made of common bass wood cut into fine threads and appro priately curled for the purpose. It is light and soft and resembles a fleece of coarse wool, can be produced with great rapidity, and at a less cost than the cheapest of other articles now in use. Small Pox. Vaccination.-In Lon don during the eight weeks ending January 16, 540 died of small pox.- Of these 6 had previously had an at tack of natural small pox; 4 had been inoculated, 80 vaccinated, and 488 not vaccinated. Of the 80 who had been vaccinated, 6 died between the apres of 2 and 6 months: 11 between the ares of 6 arid 12 months: 16 from 1 to 3 years; 13 from 3 to 5; 11 from 5 to 10; 2 from 10 to 15; 7 from 15 to 20; 4 from 20 to 25; 5 from 25 to 30; 3 from 30 to 35; and 2 from 35 to 40. This statement, while it goes to cor roborate the opinion of many physi cians that vaccination is not a perma jient protection against the small pox, shows that the danger of imbibing the disease diminishes every year. Be tween the ages of 1 and 3, it will be seen that the deaths were 16, while between the ages of 20 and 40 but 14 died.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Composi tion especially in the Northern Stales leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it, that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for external complaints that has ever been discov ered. Indeed the speed and certainty of its oper ations have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns, fever sores, chilblains, white swel lings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites &c. immediately yield to its apparantly super human influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove an inveterate, corn or break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks ; and the most desperate cases of white swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the biles of poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising; ana even in the bite of a rabid dog, lor if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it lrom pervading the system. It is like wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses for tetters, ring worms, chapped lips, and in short for every external bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast. ' The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates and other documents, in favor of his " Specific Ointment" upwards a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Med ical Faculty ; and in selecting from this pile the following samples, he was governed more by their brevity, than their contents, as they all breath the same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction. CERTIFICATES. Albany, July 9, 1837. To. Dr Harrison, Sir- I use your Specific Oint ment in my practice and cordially recommend it as a most efficient remedy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula, Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands ; and for general and external complaints. 1 write this at the re quest of your agent here, who furnishes me with the article, and am pleased to have it in my'power to award honor to merit. RUFUS R. BEACH, M D Extract of a Letter from Dr. J. W. SanderSj of Louisville. Ky. October 8, 1837. " I am prepared to say, that for Rheumatic Pains and the Sore Breasts of females, Harrison's Spe cific Ointment has no superior, if indeed it has any equal, in the whole catalogue of external me dicines, as known and prescribed in this country." Extract of a letter from Dr Potts, of Utica, N Y. Dated July 28, 1838. "Harrison's 'Specific Ointment" is, in my opin ion, a most mlportant discovery; and is particular ly efficient in scrofulas, ulcers, sore legs, erup tions, and general outward complaints, speak of its merits from an experience of four years " Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 4, 1838. To Dr. Harrison, Dear Sir, I write to con gratulate you on the extraordinary virtue of yonr ' Specific Ointment,' in the curing of burns. A little boy of mine, 4 years old, fell against the fire-place threR weeks since, when his clothes be becaue ignited, and he was instantly enveloped in flames. After some difficulty the fire was ex tinguished, but not before the poor little fellow's lower extremities were almost covered with a con tinual blister. Having much faith in your oint ment, I immediately purchased three boxes, which I applied unsparingly, according to your direc tions in such cases ; and it is with great pleasure and gratitude, that I am able to inform you that it allayod the pain in a few hours ; and in ten days had effected a complete cure. I need scarcely add, that it ought to bo in the possession of eve ry family, as there is no telling when such acci dents may occur. Yours respectfully, II. M. SHEPHARD.

What is that we call th constitution is evidently that which constitutes, and that which constitutes is the blood.

TO AVOID DISEASE AND Af'TAIY HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POwili OP EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA MIN BRANDRE TITS Vege table Universal Pillsj Introduced into the United States, May IS, 1835 There has never been an instance of these cele brated Vegetable Universal Pills not giving relief and perseverance in old, obstinate cases, is sure making a cure, provided nature is not entirely ex hausted. They have cured since their introduc tion into this country at least 20,000 twenty thou sand persons of diseases heretofore always con sidered incurable. It is only Jive years since I opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this medicine in New York; yet, in that time l hae sold over twelve iniltions of boxes, and have now eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at least one in every principal city in the Union, at an ex pense of near forty thousand dollars per year And with the expenses of advertising, and other incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year 1839; some idea may be formed how the mediein is appreciated from these facts; they are indee.i the greatest blessing that ever yet has been be stowed on man. I have often found persons desirous" to know how soon this medicine will cure them. It is im possible to say it altogether depends upon the state of the blood and humors. One thing may be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered with according to the printed direction which ac companies each box, the cure will be effected much sooner than the patient could have expected. The many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not having been properly purged in f overs, injlamaiivn , cold, meascls, small, pox or lying in. It is utterly impossible for us to attain or keep health without sound purging. We may fasteu up the disorder by barks and tonics, but if it be in the body, it mubt come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or later it will break out of itself, worse than ever if this method of purifying the body is delayed loo long. No danger can arise from purging with Brandreth's Pills- It has been proved, beyon.i doubt, that these celebrated Pills and the hutnm body are naturally adopted one for theother. ?iythe use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu mors of the body, can be entirely evacuated, al tered, and completely regenerated: and in a man ner so simple as to give every day ease and pleas ure. Brandreth's Pills are no less a cure than a pre ventive of diseases. When we feel dull, pain in the head, back, or side weary on the least exer tionit is then we ought to take a dose of these Pills. This will always have a good effect, be cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body without the presence of those humors which pro duce it, and it is only by their being forced out with purging that health can be restored. All that I have been able to ascertain, either bv experience or from books has confirmed me in the opinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health, is produced when the natural outlets of the body become incapable of discharging the corrupt hu mors generated in the body, as fast as nature re quires their expulsion. And that to secure health, we have only to purge ourselves, until health is restored. A practice which experience has es tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with out the possibility of any injurious effects. They who hive adopted this simple plan have secured the best state of health their bodes were capable of enjoying. The weak have become robust. The robust have become more so. All mankind would be benefitted by this practice, except physicians; and they would be bodily, though not profession ally. Let me now recommend two things, never be bled, and never go to a Druggist for Brandreth's Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and long keeps the blessings of health from the body. And the last, to purchase a rill called urandreths of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in sure this it must be purchased of the undermen tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who hold a regular certificate of agency, which is re newed yearly. There is an agent with one of those certificates in every town in the United States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re member that all my travellers have a power of At torney, regularly proved to be my act before the Clerk of the county of New York.
