Editorial Notice.—[Translation.] 
“We have the sorrow to announce the proximate departure of the citi¬ 
zen Henry Perrine, consul of the United States of the North in this State, 
and whose absence is generally regretted on account of the just regard he

knowledge in medicine had made this sage man the extraordinary re¬ 
source of diseased persons of all ranks and qualities; and we anxiously 
desire, in consonance with public opinion, his prompt regress to this re¬ 
public.—[The Editors.]
