wTirt wears it; it U edged vf'th gold lace
or with a fringe of silver, gold or silk some-
times in douciie rows, but without flounces.
They were no raps or head ornaments of
gauy.e or lacejwork, a simple ribbon tied round
the head keeps the hair together at the top,
from whence passing on the back part of the
head, it falls into two or three twisted tress-
es down the back, flawing some times as
low as the bend of the knee ; the longer
these braids the more beautiful they are reck-
oned. When the women go out, and
even sometimes in the house, they cover
their heads with a fine white piece of woolen
stuff, trimmed with gold or silver lace or
silk. Thisijpiece Of stuff, which they call
iquella, or mantle, covers also their shoul-
ders and arms, and down below their ,waist,
they cross the ends of it over the breast, or
under the arms, as the French ladies used to
do their cloaks. When they wear this kind
of mantle in the house, tliey seldom cover
their head with it; but in the street and.
at church, it so closely muffels up the face
that no part is visible except the nose, and
perhaps one of the eyes.
The common people among the Spanish in-
habitants, as well as the people of color and
negroes, wear a close vest and drawers of
dyed or printed cotton. On their legs they
wear a sort of close gaiter, somewhat orra-,
mental, but reaching only to the ancle, and
generally go barefooted. The large hat is
universally in use, but instead of a cloak the
•plebein class wear a piece of broad striped
stuff of different colors, slit only in the mid-
dle to let the head through; it falls down
upon their arms, and covers them as low as
the wrist, whilst on the, fore aiid back part
it comes down below the calf of the leg, and
is fringed all round. This garment is called
poncho or chany ; every body, of whatever
rank, wears it on horseback, finding it more
convenient than the cloak or usual mantle.
The governor had one of these garments,
highly wrought in gold and silver ; it was
brought from Chili, where it cost 30d pias-
ters; Some of them are made at that place,
of more :ilian six times that value.
The native indiam of La Plata have no
other dress than a kind of cloak made of
several deer-'skirls, with the hair on, sewed
together, so asjto form a long square pretty
much like a napkin, and fastened about the
Shoulders with two straps. The side next
the skin is white, and painted red, blue and
e;rey in squares, rhombusM'S and triangles;
the disposal of which forms various com-
partments, according to the fancy of the
HI who is to wear it. They wear the
h.iir on the outside when it rains, and on
the inside when it is fine weather.

The Hon Oi.ivtR Ellsworth has been

Tho? should be expos
ed to censure. I renewed my applications to
the marshal several times, and always re
ceived the same answer. Thus situated I
determined to attend the court, both from
a sense of duty, and because I would not
put it in the power of the malicious, and
those disposed to slander me, to assign ino
tives for my absenting myself, which had
no kind of influence on me. Another rea-
son for pursuing this course presented itself
sometime after I had formed this determina-
tion. I conceived that an attempt had been
made to.deter me from attending this court.
I was informed by a friend in this city,
that he had heard that one of the most severe
pieces which ever had been seen, was pre-
paring for publication, if I did attend and
serve on the grand-jury From what quarter
this attack was to conr- I did not know.
The only influence which this circumstance
had, was, to confirm me in the determination'
I had made ; as I was much more inclined
to defy my enemies, than to ask their mercy
and forbearance. From the first I hesitated,
vi hether I ought not to make the same re-
presentation to the court, that I had made
to the marshal. As I was in doubt on the
subject, before I came from home, I commit-
ted to paper the substance of what 1 have
now said, and consulted three gentlemen,
who were lawyers, men of honor, and my
personal friends. Their advice to me was,
not to mention it, for they did not believe
that the court would or ought to discharge
me for the reasons I had mentioned. As I
was in doubt myself. I determined to follow
their advice, and the more readily, as they
seemed confident that I would not be dis-
charged ; and I was not ambitious of ac-
quiring, in this way, a reputation for scrupu-
lous delicacy. I was perfectly willing that
my reputation should rest upon the general
tenor of my life, and did not believe that
my character required such a prop. At pre-
sent, I feel myself embarrassed how to act.
I certainly was, and am anxious not only
not to serve'on the jury, but Iara unwilling to
•withdraw, lest it should be thought that I
shrink from the discharge of a public duty
of great responsibility, and I am not willing
to be driven from the discharge of that duty
in a way which should lead to a belief that
the objection made to me is either acknow-
ledged to be well founded, or has been sus-
tained by the court. Upon this subject the
example of Mr. Giles has great weight with
me. That consideration, and a hope that
my motives cannot now be misunderstood
or misrepresented, will induce me to do as
he has done."

FORGERY DETECTED.
{From the Boston Palladium of Tuesday.J
[Some of our readers may remember, that
about the beginning of the present year
we extracted from a Philadelphia paper a
curious account of certain writings found
in a globe of marble dug up at Aleppo,
from which it was inferred, that the Apo-
calypse or Revelations, was written by
Cerinthus, and not by St. John. This
account was given in a Philadelphia paper
as a translation of an article from the
Marseilles Gazette of the 20th Oct. 1806.
A writer, under the signature of Cephas,
commented on this narrative in the Palla-
dium ; and expressed his fears,- that this
story was transcribed from a French paper
into some of ours to discredit the validity
of the New Testament. Some gentlemen,
who knew the circumspection of editors
of periodical papers, at this time, in Roman
Catholic countries, doubted if such a pub-
lication ever appeared in a French news-
paper : Among these was Dr. Waterhouse,
who, being a member of the, Marseilles
Academy of Sciences, he. wrote to one
of his correspondents in that city, and
enclosed the publications on that sub-
ject from onr paper; and on Friday he
received, via Philadelphia, the following
letter in answer to his queries :]
" Sir, Marseilles, March 28.
" Immediately on the receipt of your let-
ter of the 12th of January, I went to the
printer and editor of the Marseilles Gazette,
to inquire, agreeably to your wish, respect-
ing the " Extract of a letter from a gentle-
man in Aleppo, to his friend in this city"
said to be printed in the Marseilles Gazette,
of October 20, 1806. On examining the
number of that date, there was not to be
found a single word of the matter ! I was
accompanied in ray researches by M. Achard,
the director of our public library, and perpe-
tual secretary to our academy of arts and
sciences. This is an old gentleman, endow-
ed with much learning, especially in anti-
quities, and whose son is the printer and
editor of the Marseilles Gazette. He assur-
ed me, that he had no recollection of any
such article as appeared in the Philadelphia
paper, and in the New England Palladium,
purporting to be a translation from the Ga-
zette of this city. We examined, with
strict attention, all the Gazettes from the 1st
August until this day ; and it is our opinion,
as well as the opinion of many other gen-
tleman, that the piece which caused so niujh
alarm in the timorous consciences of yA|
country, is an absolute lie—or has been rjjE
lished in some other paper ; but of whieffwe
have no knowledge whatever.
" The vessel which carries this will sail
to-morrow, or I would have annexed a cer-
tificate of Mons. Achard, and of the magis-
tracy of this city, to support what I have
said. I hope, however, that the minds of
your friends of the clergy will be satisfied
with what is said above.
You are at liberty to use my letter as you
think proper. I remain, &c. &c.
