Sir , Leicester , May 10 , 1824 . VERY handsome monument has been recently erected in the Great A Meeting-, Leicester , to the memory of tbe late * Dr . Alexander , of this town , of whom an obituary is contained in the Repository of last year ( XVIII . 56 ) . I inclose you a copf of the inscription . Those who , like myself , were well acquainted with the deceased , will acknowledge the justness of the character here drawn of hinx . If you will allow it a place in your valuable Miscellany , you will gratify many of his friends , and oblige your constant reader , V . B .
Sacred to the Memory of Edward Alexander , M . D ., Of Danett ' s Hall , near Leicester . Remarkable for purity and simplicity of character * For piety to God , aud disinterested love of man , His whole conduct exemplified the two commandments On which * hang all the law and the prophets . " As an able and conscientious physician , And in prompt and gratuitous services to the poor He has rarely been equalled . Blessed with vigorous faculties , and ardent feelings , His benevolence , expansive as his mind , Shed its balm on all within the sphere of his influence . He was a firm opponent of despotism , public and private , A fair advocate and generous supporter Of civil and religious liberty . This cold maible may record his admirable qualities , But their due appreciation must be sought In the hearts of those whom his affection delighted * His friendship gratified , his bounty relieved , And his skill restored to the enjoyment of ease and health * It pleased God to arrest him in his medical career In the month of June , 1810 , As one u of whom the world was not worthy . " Also to visit him with long and excruciating suffering , Which he bore with uushaken fortitude and resignation . In full hope of a joyful resurrection , through Christ , He died November 27 th , 1822 , aged 55 , Was deposited , thai 5 th of December , within St . Mary ' s Church , In a vault belonging to his place of residence . In this chapel he worshiped , And here is erected this monumental tablet By his faithful , affectionate , and devoted widow .

^^^¦¦ Letter from Ex-President Jefferson to Ex-President Adams , ( From the Boston Patriot . ) " TTEFFERSON and ADAMS . —A % 9 few months since , a most wicked effort was made , by the treacherous publication of the Cunningham correspondence , to destroy tlie merited popularity of John Q . Adams , from an expectation , that the friendship , which Mr . Jefferson had so long entertained for his venerable father , would be converted into resentment , in which the Republicans would not only participate , but visit the supposed wrongs of the father upon the son . So far from this desired result being produced , the people recoiled with ^
horror from the deed , and their indignation has been Joud , deep and universal . But to shew , still farther , how impotent has been the malignant blow , aimed at an aged patriot , who is trembling" on the verge of the grave , permission has been granted to publish the following voluntary communication , from the illustrious sage Monticello to his distinguished compatriot , in the glorious career of the Revolution , which must overwhelm with shame and mortification , the participants in that wanton outrage upon confidential intercourse , and blast for ever , their desperate hopes , ' to send to their tombs as implacable enemies , two of the only three surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence .
