Dear Sir, Shall Ibe permitted so far to trespass U pon your time, as to alk you to state tome in a letter by an early port, the symptoms : which characterize the contagious fever now or lately prevalent in you* neighbourhood"in Philadelphia, for I have although not in pradice seen a cafe of a little girl so denomi nated, who fc fever had been Of five day 9 continuance, and waa at the time to which I refer attended with no great degree of fe ver, very little yellowness of the eyes, skin perfettly clear, with little heat, clean tongue, no pain in the head, and very little sickness of stomach, (altho' both these last symp toms haft existed, but went off without bleeding.) She had over the whole furface of her body a miliary eruption o£ a bright red appearance—l am the more induced to a(k you for a correct defeription of it, as some cases are said to have occurred here in persons flying from Philadelphia, which has occasioned some alarm, indeed more than it necessary. At this time of general fright, every disease, is fufpe&ed to be the Yellow Fever, and is consequently the tjccauon of alarm. Pray what is the state of the disease in the City, our,nccounts <jre so various and con tradictory as to render all rational conclusion impracticable. With very fmeere withes for your health and welfare, I am your obedient servant, HENRY LATIMER. ]Qr. William Currie. * /[ Phi adelphia, • September 4th, 1797, /Dear Sir, Time onljrferves at present to inform you,j that tho contagious fever at present in this? city, generally attacks suddenly, without previous sense of debility, with pain in the fore part of the head and in the knivs, and often in the back, accompanied with consi derable sense of cold, (and in more violent cases with great ftirfture about the region of the heart, and diftrefsful anxiety and restlessness) but no rigor or (hivering. In many cases the eyes smart like a burn, and are as watery as if the patient had been weeping—more or less red—but seldom yellow for some days : the face appears slushed ; the skin feels hot and dry ; 'the pulse quick, tense, and confined: symp toms worse in the afternoon and. fore part of the night: bowels eoftive—feldom any sickness at stomach or inclination to puke for the firft two days. A complete inter-million takes place on the third or fourth day, and the fever -re turns no more—or a considerable remiifion, succeeded by coldness of the extremities, and an incessant desire to puke. In a day or two later, the matter puked up or dis charged by stool, appears black, unless comatose symptoms come op, which is often the cafe. Coma is generally succeeded .hy fymptQiTls of scurvy, which finally ter minate in profufe hxmorrage, vrhfeh pnr» a period to life. The remedies which have molt invariably succeeded, when employed frofn the begin ning of the disease, have been', blood-letting repeated to a third or fourth time at pro per intervals—two bleedings frequently an swer ; but where the inflammatory symp toms are manifeft, it has been found to be ufeful to repeat it in the height of the pa roxiftrw to a ninth time, and in one cafe eleven times. In addition to blood-letting, mercurial purges have produced unequivo cally good effects. In cases where vomiting has come on, calomel in doses of 2 grains every two hours, or at longer intervals if it Ihould occasion too copious evacuations. At this period, blisters to the stomach and wrists, or to the infidc of the thighs, have also con tributed to the relief of the patient. The patient is still, on account of the irritability of his stomach, reftri£ted to cooling and diluting drinks, and prohibited kinds of nourilhment except what can be conveyed in glyfters. In cases where the vomiting cannot be restrained, a yellowness gradually pervades the eyes and skin of the patient, and at length a matter black as ink is either puked up or evacuated by stool, and in a Ihort time after the patient dies. After the reduflion of the inflammatory symptoms, when mercury, either taken in ternally or applied externally, affefts the salivary glands, the patient generally re covers. The disease is the very fame in kind that we had in 1793, rendered different in degree by the difference of the season. About 200 persons have • already been affefted by it; of these betwten 6o and 70 have died, including 27 that were sent to the hospital at different stages of the disorder. Among others we have to lament" the death of Dr. Way, whose talents you know in a certain branch were conspicuous, and who on that account will be much miffed as well as regretted. The disease has not gained much ground for some days'paft below the new market, which is the part of the city where it firft appeared, owing I believe to the line of communication being cut off by the removal of the inhabitants :' but as it has infmuated itfelf into other parts of the city, there is no reason to exped it will be entirely extin guilhed till the appearance of froft, by which the contagion, whereby it is propa gated, is as certainly destroyed as the moll tender tropical plant. Rain and cool wea ther, though they have some controul over' the contagion, never entirely destroy it. A few instances have already occurred of persons who had been cxpofed to conta gion, having taken the disease after removal 1 to the country. If any such cccur at W[lmiugtoDj {hall thank you to let me know it. I remain^ With fentimcnts of sincere regard, Y«?ur friend and humble fervapt, V/m. CURRtE. Dr. H. Larimer, lVihningioni. For of the United Statues. REGARDING the insult which the Spanish minister, the Chevalier d'Yrujo, has offered to the. government of the United States, by his Jjtte audacious appeal from its adminiftratiou to the people, as alike intend ed to subvert the happiness s*d abftradi from the dignity of our country, and being aware of the motive.? which have prompted this pernicious purpole, I feel myfelf called on to affisrt that /hare 0$ the right, which ap pertains to each individual citizen of the American community, to avenge the insult, and to expose its author not merely to the contempt of the people, against whom he has meditated so foul a wrong, but to the crimination of his proper fovercign, whose ef feptial interests he has deeply wounded by his unwise and ridiculous condudt. And here I will Venture to predidt that, if those interests, and the injury they have fuffered on the present occasion, are well understood and justly appreciated by the court of Spain, it is by no means impossible that the translator of Smith's Wealth of. Nations himfelf.be translated to one of the more immediate sources of that wealth ; where a practical acquaintance with the sub division of labour would give him a clearer idea than any he has yet acquired of his original. When this minister undertook, by a con temptuous appeal from the proceedings, of the executive department, to debase that branch of our government in the estimation of its citizens, he either was or he was not acquainted with the ftrudture of the govern ment, and its relations to the people, for I whose uses, and by whom, it had been infti i tuted. If acquainted with its nature and relations, he could not be ignorant that his appeal was not only a diredt and daring violation of all diplomatic rules, but a gross and humili-. ating insult to the people themselves, from whom the Executive of the United States immediately emanates ; and whose elective fandtion, so recently given, (hould have (hielded the objedt of their choice, and the representative of their authority, from the rude impertinence of a foreign agent. If this minister was not acquainted with the nature of our government or its relations, but blindly, though wickedly, plunged into a mcafure the whole tendency of "which he did not csnprehend, and the consequences of which he had not calculated byond the quantum of ftcret fervicc money which it might enable him to draw from hit employers, then there can be no want of charity in pro nouncing him a very undignified and un profitable agent for his mailer, and a very indecorous and dangerous inmate of the U-* nited States. The part which he has adted, and the unworthy insinuations which he has dared to utter against the Executive of the United States, have excited a spirit of indignation throughout this country, which, if the of its government were not purely pacifis, and scrupulously neutral. would re alize all the apprehensions, which he has affedted to entertain, and in less time than his uncombining int,elk£t has been led to imagine. " An astronomical apparatus," to the transportation and use of which no per mission would be alked of Spanish governors, might be carried to the Mississippi, which would give such lines of demarcation as have net yet been contemplated.—But an inviolable refpedt for the faith of treaties will bind the United States to the diie ex ecution of them—and so far the interests of the Spanish nation will yet be fafe, not withftasding the insidious counsel of her falfc friends, and the unjuftiflable conduit of her filly fervaats. She will adt wifely, however, in disclaiming such servants and such con duct—and, profiting by the present lesson, Spain, if her dearest concents are consulted, cannot fail to cultivate with g«od faith, and through an able agency, the friend/hip of a people, whose enmity, provoked to action, would instantly subvert the empire of her colonies, and fink her consequence in the scale of nations forever. DENTATUS. From the N. T. Daily Gaz. We have attentively perused the remarks by Obfervator upon the paragraph in -our Gazette on Tuefdaylaft ; and, though he is ostensibly right in the conftruftion he be stows on Haley's letter, and really so iu the animadversions he makes on the principles of our American Jacobins, yet we cannot help thinking he does not fufficiently extend his views, as well with refpedt to the diredt as the collateral consequences and influence of the condudt of that foe to America. Tho' the intention, as avowed in the letter, is to feizethe property of his " detested enemies," it does not follow thattheEnglilh are exclu sively to be the vidtims of his malice. It is believed that Americans are meant to be robbed, as wall as his " infernal enemies." There-are, it is well known, in this country, men real native Americans, who are no ad mirers of the sanguinary excesses of the French—these, by such fellows as Haley, are branded with the nameof 7or/fjandArif tocrats though sincerely attached to the freedom and independence of the United States—and men of these descriptions- are expressly named by this " consummate vil lain," as among the number whose property he meanp to depredate on—This is certain ly no strained conftrudtion, for the letter ex plicitly declares it. Bcfides, a single con iideration without the aid of any other, stamps his condudt- with the mark of hostili ty to the United States—Every one who knows any thing, knows, 'that the capture of the Hare raised the premium of Insurance last spring from 4to $ per cent—and per haps, if; calculated, this Angle item would amount on the imports of l&ft Spring to at lead 3 or 403,000 dollars— Surely such a sum is fufficierit to (hew that so Safe a measure as Haley is chargeable with, and which was the result of delibera tion, is evident and diredt hostility against the United States —lt may be said the pre miums are insured as well as the capital— and that they will be paid together—>good— but though this may appear plausible it is not folid—lt ought to be the cose, but is not—T<fe instance of the Severn taken into Brest, where the cargo was condemned, is a cafe in point—a large proportion of that property though infursd in England, is still unsettled, and like to continue so to all eter- feveral infured there, have been carried into France this spring, the in furanee upon which the underwriters refufe to pay, because the vessels were unprovided with a role d'equipage. The loss in these cases fall of course on the insured. We are authorized also to infer from recent ac counts that the whole of what is alledged as causes of condemnation, are mere pretexts, notindeedoriginally conceivedby the French themselves, but suggested to them by un principled Americans for the purpose of en abling them to plunder with impunity the j property of their defenceless countrymen— ; and of this abominable class is Haley : His 1 letter ihews him to be utterly abandoned— and a man possessed of such a mind, may be fairly fufpedted of the blackest defigns—ln short, it is pretty generally understood, that the defedtion of this wretch, was not ip or der to attain revenge from his " detested in fernal enemies," but for the purpose of en riching himfelfby feizingand appropriating through the inftrumtntality of the French maritime courts, the property of English men and Americans without diftindtion. This we believe is generally understood, and every circumstance warrants the inference. From an European paper. SKETCH of POLITICS. It is a curious circumstance which cannot have efc # ."d the observation of those who have traced the French revolution with an attentive eye, that many of those momentous events which have, in a great degree, decided the fate of Europe, have been influenced by a combination of fortunate occurrences ; and i that the success of many of their principal j operations which have contributed to the 1 establishment of the French republic, has j neither resulted from wisdom in confidera- I tion, depth of judgment, nor extent of po | litical forefight. The elements alone gave the French pofleffion of and secured j their navy from deftruftlon on the coast of Ireland ; while the hand of death j.who might 1 justly be termed the tutelar deity of the re public, by snatching the imperial Catharine from the throne of Ruflia, when on the 1 point of adtively co-operating with the allies, I enabled them to obtain the advantages that marked the last disastrous campaign.' But in no one instance has their goodfortune serv ed them so essentially and decisively as in - the feafqnable conclusion ofj>eace with the emperor. Fourteen hours after the prelimi nary articles had been signed at Leoben, a courier arrived at Vienna with dispatches from the emperor of Russia, who had been just crowned at Mqfcow, containing the im portant communication, that an army of 18o,oco Ruffians bad received orders to march to the afllftance of the imperial af mies in Italy and on the Rhine ! These troops too were to be paid by the Ruffian monarch. A reinforcement so decisive must have given an immediate change to the whole face of affairs. The expulsion of the French from Italy would have been certain, and it is highly probable that, ere the conclusion of the campaign, they would have been re duced lo the necessity of retiring within their ancient limits. How much then must Eu rope deplore the superabundant afid impro vident caution of the emperor Paul, in ne gledling to give some private intimation of his intentions to the court of Vienna. This step would have answered every purpose, by inducing Joseph to adopt a defenfive fyftcm, until the arrival of the Ruffian army, and by averting, at the fame time, those dangers which Paul was fearful of incurring by an open avowal of his designs before the cere mony of his coronation had taken place.
