The Iridfpe£tors of the Health Olfice 011 uf t'le College of Phy sicians and other gentlemen of the Faculty, and after confutation with several of their fellow citizens, on mature deliberation una nimously adopted sundry refr.lutions found ed on the laws for. regulating the Health Office, which in their ojyimon would be inoft likely to prevent the I'prcading of In fection, these resolutions were fubniitted to the Gttvernor, & at the earned solicitation of the Infpe&ors were fandioncd by his Pro clamation of the 23d of Aug'uft, 1797. The inspectors flatter themselves that as far as those resolutions hare beeu aited on the moll salutary effects have followed, and that had they been carried into earlier ope ration benefits would have refujted. To impress this belief on their fellow citizens, and as far as possible to draw forth their eo-operation, the infpedtors deem it only necessary to state the manner in which thofc resolutions have been a£ted on. No sick person has been removed unless the attending pliyfician declared to the health officer that their particular lituatiou made itneceffaay—no force has been used or ever was contemplated. Where persons with infe&ious fevers have been fitinted in confined places, every per lon belonging to the house as well as those adjoining, except the necessary attendants, have been preffingly advised to remove. Yellow llags have been placed at the doors to prevent unnecessary intercourse, and in the neighbourhood of Penn-ftrett, where the'■ infed'on appeared molt malignant, a fence has been ere&ed to stop the commu nication with that part of the city. . The city hospital, with several out build ings, have been kept in complete order for the reception of the sick, and a number of tents have been pitched for the accommo dation of families whose connection with the sick made it necessary for them to re move. After this view of the fubjetft, the In fpedtors of the Health Office hope that all sick or indisposed persons, as well as those employed in the eare of them will fee the propriety of an early application to their fa mily phyiician, Do£tor Duffield, consulting physician f. r the Port of Philadelphia, or to the aforementioned phyfieians appointed by the Board, that the necessary relief may be administered, and the Infpeftorp again re quest tljot the phyfieians generally will re port fucb cases as may come within their knowlsdge, that'the fta'tements of the pro gress of the d'iforder may be publiflied to their fellow citizens.

To the Chevalier d'Trvjo, Minified Pleni- p, pottniiary from Spain to the United States. e[ Sir, The 10th article of yolir analysis states, that Mr. Pickering " evidtntly contradifls himfelf when on one hand he is p'eaftd to C attribute to you, the movements of the In- c ' dians ; and in the very next paragraph ffiews. \ that it might proceed from American Citi zens ; as it adtually docs according to Mr. P Mount's letter, and that he a£ted with the tf -knowledge and intelligence of the very fame S1 Britim mmifter in whose private notes, -with- <1 out Jignature, and perhaps not in his ott m hand 0 writing, such implicit confidence is placed." The paragraph in the report to which c you allude fays, " Whether this plan of ex- n citirj* the Indians to diredt hoflilities 1 the United States has been contemplated and promoted by any of our own citizens, it is difficult to fay ; but that one or more " of those citizens have proposed and taken measures to detach the southern Indians j fr6m the interefl"s of the United States, and t to destroy the influence of the public agents a over thofenationsandthus to defeat the great e objedts ot their appointment, the chief of * which is to preserve peace, is certain." Fromthis, Sir, you have found out "that ( Mr. Pickering (hews that the movements , of the Indians might have proceeded from I American citizens. Mr. Pickering has said 1 nothing like it, and if he has faidfo, Blount's j letter does not support him in his aflertion. ( From that letter it does not appear that any measures were taken to excite the Indians , to actions of any fort. Tt is true that in* it 1 Carey ip advised to leflen the influence of 1 the public agents over the minds of the fa- 1 vages ; in order that if it (hould be resolved to carry the fclieme into execution it uiig£t be the more readily accomplished ; and to this Mr. Picketing undoubtedly alludes when he fays, that ffceafures had befn taken to detach the Indians from the uiterefts of the United States. But surely it does not follow because measures had been taken to detach them from our interefls that those measures had fucceedtd ; much less that I their movements when hostile towards us {hould have been the effedt of them. Blount's motive for endeavouring to destroy the influ ence of our officers was tp increase his own. He knew that their efforts would oppose an insurmountable barrier to the success of his project, and that projYft wis direftcd a gainst Spain, not against the United States. Supposing therefore that he had succeeded to the extent of his molt sanguine wishes, he would there have flopped and never have caused a movement among them hostile to us. It is impossible too, that any movement of the Tndiaas could have proceeded from any of the measures recommended in that letter, because the secret was discovered be fore Carey'could have begun his operatisns, and the difeovery of the secret completely defeated the plan. You call Mr. Lifton's letters " pritate notes." Now if official answers to official enquiries on national concerns can be called private notes, I really do not understand the term. But they were " without signature." The importance of this remark leads ycu to place it in italics. Whether' the name of Robert Lifton was placed at the top or the bottom of his letter, is. well worth being made a fubjeft of diplomatic representation , Would any falfehocd have beet! less infa mous, or would any'fentiment contained in the letter have been less binding in tba one cafe than in the other ? Is it necessary to accompany a communication, of this kind with all the formal nicity which is eflential to the validity of a legal obligation ? To what despicable fhifts are you obliged to resort to support the feeblenefa of your cause. As to the mere surmise that perhaps they were not in the hand writing of the Britifii min ilter, I really think it unworthy of notice. It is a matter of which you been wholly ignorant, and it is as reasonable to si. ppofe that any other sommunicat ion which has been made to our government was not in the hand writing of the perfou making it, ' as that the communication of Mr. Lifton was not in his hand writing. The 1 ith and last article of your analysis states, that " although in all Mr. Picker ing's official communications he has always manifeftedto you that the American govern ment knew nothing which indicated any foundation for your suspicions, Mr. Blount's letter prove 6 that you were perfectly in the right.". I have already shewn that Air. Blount's . letter, infteadof proving that you were per -1 in the right, proves dirtftly the re verse. But even admitting that all your - suspicions were founded on truth, there is not a tittle of evidence before the public r that government at that time knew of ' anything whit/i juftified them. There is ' indeed the bare unsupported aflertion of Mr. ' -Bache in favour of a presumption of this ! kind ; but I know nothing in hi 3 chara£ter I or conduit which entitles his afiertions to . implic/t He ha 3 been pere»p ---"./ torily a»ntradi&ed and called upon to pro s' duce his authority. To do this he is either > ashamed or afraid ; he is either afraid to shew that he has drawn his information from a source polluted by a breach of confidence, or ashamed to (hew upon how flinft fy a foun dation he has rtfted his positive affirmations. This may be a " new political fin" ; he may have Weil once more carried away by " party palfion," and he may now hope by " again amuQpg the public with his protefta tlonscf patriotism and-honor, to wipe away 1 the ftignia which a deteftion of the falfehood (hall have inflicted upon'his name. ■ Thus, Sir, I hate diferitangled myfelf from the tedious labyrinth of your letter. In it you have profefled a personal desire to preserve harmony between and the in United States. To use your. owji.terms.— tt I have seen with pain thafcin its " laoguage fc and tenor, it is not calculated to promote so tl defireable an objeft to us all."

The dispatches (] are dated the I sth ult. on which day the p Spanifil admiral had made the signal for 0 the whole fleet to unmoor, with a view of breaking our line of battle which blocks up f the port of Cadiz, and of putting to sea. l But the wind (hifting, the Spar.ifh fleet dropped anchor, without changing any part : V of its position. j 1 The king of Spain'is arrived at Cadir, 1 1 with a view of quieting the minds of the : merchants there, and to accelerate the tardy, j operations of his marine. The merchants , have on this occasion presented a memorial 1 to his majellv, setting forth the hardlhips they labour undir in the interruptios of , their commerce, from the pert of Cadiz 1 having been so long and so closely block- 1 aded, that no (hip could fail from or enter j it.
