ADDRESS OF COBBETT, To the reformers in and near Manchester, Liverpool, Nov. 23, 1S19. "Friends and fellow countrymen! It appears from the public papers, that you have the kind intention to give me a formal and public welcome on my return to my country, and to invite me into your neighborhood. Nothing in this world can be more gratifying to my feelings; there is nothing which I should be so proud as of such a reception, on such 2n occasion by such men; men so pre-eminent in political knowledge, public spirit, and real loyalty. "Suffer me however, to observe, that I who have quitted happy America, and returned to my now miserable, though always beloved country, from no other motive than that of a hone to be able to assist in restoring her to htr former ?tite, am extremely anxious, that a proceeding designed to do honor to me, should be attended with no one circumstance, however -slight, tending to produce violence or even discord. The situation of our country is !ullicicntly awful the pas-dons alrea iv excued are sudicientk' violent vvkiiout ma4 km,; nw intended welcome the means of adding to the calam ity. 4 'The heirt which, under the contemplation of the present-state of the noble count v ot Lancaster, cm retain its wonted heat, must be formed ot m aerials very different from those of mine. Fo behold scenes ot unpiralleied industry, talent and enterprise, and sources of individual hippiuess and national wealth and power turned inio scene- of strife and distraction and source ot mistry, must deeply afflict any mm, and especially one who can appeal to ail the acts of his life in proof of his ardent d:sire to promote the happiness and honor, and t.o insure the freedom, the greatness, and the renown ot England. Theretore upon the present occasion, while my bosom is filled with sorrow on account of the recent mclancholiyevents in this country, let me beseech you to refiaiu from every thing tlut might be likely to mix up, in any degree, your reception, of me wan those events. "In entering Manchester, I shall sec, for my part, none but my friends, being well assured that i merit enmity of no' Englishman in the world. If 1 find enemies, let them be such witnout provocation and without reason. To be received by you in the tnancr I hear you intend, will be a 1 honor tar greater than any other that can be bestowed upon me and I moit anxiously wisii to receive it unalloyed by anything calculated to give pain to real friends ot peace, order the king, and the laws.

From die O.urccrly Journal of Foreign Medkine ami Surgery. , iVukssur UufH-tnd, in a i uc

number of his Journal, gives a most extraordinary case of a tradesman, who, impelled by a succession of misfortunes, and absolutely destitute of the means of procuring food, retired to a sequestered spot in the forest, and there resolved to starve himself to death. He put the determination in force on the 15th of September, and was fount! on the 3d of October, (iS days) still living, although speechless, insensible, and reduced to the last stage of debility- A small quantity of liquid was given him, after which he expired. By his side was found a pocket book and pencil, with which he had contrived to keep a daily journal of his state and sufferings, and in which he had persevered till the eoth of September. He begins by giving an account of himself, and states tha; he was a respectable tradesman, possessing good property, of which he had been deprived by misfortune and villany, and that he had come to the determination of starving himself to death, not so much with the view of committing suicide, ss because he was unable to procure work, that he had in vain offered himself as a soldier, and was too proud to apply to unfeeling relations. I'hi note is dated on the 10th, whicli day he had been employed in constructing a little hut of busr.es and leaves. On the 17 -11, he complains of suffering much from cold, anil in his journal of the iSrh, he men tions having suffered from in toleiablc thirst, to appease which he had licked the dew from the surrounding vegita blcs. On the 20th, lie fournl a small piece of coin and with great difficulty reached an inn, where he purchased a bottle of beer. The beer failed, however to quench his thirst, and his strength was so reduced that he took three hours to ae compiish tne distance, about two miles. On the 22J, he discovered a spring of water, but though tormented with thirst, the agony which the cold water produced on his stomach excited vomiting and convulsions. The 23 I mule ten days since he had taken any food but beer and a little water. During that time he had not slept at ah. On the 26th he complains of his feet being dead, and of being distracted by thirst, he was too weak to crawl to the spring, and yet dreadfully susceptible of suffering. The 29th of September was the last day on which any memorandum was made. We regret that no dissection was

made. mo?r A l.ATF. i.ovnos p.vvf.r. The followinij very n mark able anecdote v;n re f: red to hv IIr.
