TUESDAY EVENING, September
Wilmington, Sept, id, 1797.
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.
