Pierpomt Edwards, Esq. Ditlriil Attorney for the Hate ef Coanedticut. New-Haven, OtSober 7, ijf6. Dear Sir, I Ihould have written you last week, had I then been able to afcerraia certain fads, the rumour of which I had heard. A Mrs. Beers, a near neighbour to mt. the wife of Xben Beers, and daughter of captaia Samuel Hoggips, of this town, had been, for fourteea weeks, exceedingly diflreffed with the Rheumatism, to fach a degree that for fourteea weeks' previous te the 19th of last m'onth, lhe had not been able to walk across the room even with crut ches, save only once, when (he made out with the affill auce of cratches to hobble part of the way aero s her room. Oa the 19th of September last, (he procured a set of your metallic substances, and in less than an hour after she had began to use them, in the manner direfied by you, she rose from her chair, and walked about herhouie, and on the next day lhe went abroad to her neighbours, having thrown aside her crutches. I h.(v« this day paid her a visit in company with her lather, and Timothy Jones, Esq. who lives in the-ftreet where she resides and direilly op pofit". to her rofidence, and With Capt. Abel Burrett, who is her next neighbor, and lives within eight yards of her door. I reqaelted her to relate her cafo over in their prefcascfc, wkich flic did. ? n 1 tbefc gawtlemeia all .with Qua voice, supported, from their own knowledge, her story. It is a duty which yoa Owe yourfelf and the world to pre ■> mulge this event. I am, very lefpetftfujly, Your obedient ltrvaut, PIRRPONT £0 WARDS . N. B. She fays her fever has left her, her appetite has returned, and she is in a fair way to be reltored to perfect health. Rev. Mr. Spalding, of Salem. This may certify, that the fubferfoer, in bis visits among his people, has used Dr. Perkins's metallic points, to re lieve paips and inflammations of various kinds, and has succeeded to his allonifhment. They have feWom failed l to relieve the head-ach, tseth-ach, ague m the face, in flammation in the jyes, cramp ; cholic, rbeamatifm, pains • of the bresft ahd lid , biles, IcUs and burns—Sometimes there has heen a jaerfedt cure from one operation. A lad who had been confined three days with high lymptoms of a fever, very hot and full of pain, by an operation of the points, designed to relieve his head, his face turned pale ar.d cold, hii fever and pain immediately left him, aad in a few days he was oat of deors ; the year before, at he fame season, he was taken the fame symptoms, aad Jay extremely sick torty days. Ti?e efficacy of the metal lic points has gained great credit in this town. JOSH OA, SPALDING. December 5, 1796, Rev. Elhanan Winchester. 1 certify, that on the lift of March, 1796, I saw Dr. Wrir ,mr> V.y n*. 1-7?tvr -mlv. tried with fuccelsinthe poor-honfeor betteriag-houfe in Philadelphia ; especially npoa a man who was unable to lilt his right hand to his head, as was tried beforehand, bnt •who after a few minutes operation, yas able to remove it at pleafurc ; and in my fight, put it witheafe oa the top of his head and back of his neck, and in all direilions. Nearly the lame effect took place upv.' 1 a woman j and all that I saw treated, profeffed that their paios --eased after being treated ji lhort time : aad several came volun tarily, and in my hearing thanked the Dr. lor cures he ■had performed on them about eight weeks before, in re moving pains from them, which they declared had not since returned : —fo that from what 1 saw with my own 1 eyes, and what 1 have heard, I have (great hopes that this . method will greatly tend to alleviate the trileries of man i*nd.

But been railed even before It was read, the convention decreed, that the reading of it fhovld be poftponcd . until next Monday. Citizen Van Kafteele said, hereupon,' that after' the plan had been read, he fhoald give his opinion on the fubjeift, as it ftrnck him that the plan was by n© means founded an the balis of an indivjhble republic, and confidently eould neither answer the expectation of the conven tion, nor meet the wilhes of the people. Don Joseph d'Anduaga, ihe Spanish minifler lately arrived here, prcfemed his credentials the day before yeflcrday. The plan of the constitution has been printed for the members of the convention, but at the fame, if time it has been prohibited ou pain of 60C10 guild " ers to print a single copy for any one else. The representative JCalteele was supported by J fpveral other members in his aflertian, that the plan of the constitution did not aim at nnity and tndi i- visibility, but at federalifm. The difcu(T)on of this - plan is thetef ■ a liely to bting on very intetefting e : and animated debates. j All the foreign mmift?rs were invited to the Gt y ting of the loth inliant, When tbe plan of the con n flitution was laid before the convention. The reprefeotatire Velleer was yesterday eleifl v ed president of the convention. j The troops embarked at Dunkirk on board 16 tranfperts, had not (ailed from thence on the Ift e instant. Their deliination remains as yet a secret, * but it is Hated in a letter from Paris ef tbe 7th instant, that the ainiament isdcltined for the mouth 3 of the Elbe, to intercept the communication of c the English with the continent. 1 Fourteen Englilh men of war and several armed vetTels are still cruising off the Texel.
