mr. WILLIAM CURRIE. In a few days I mean to reply"Tnpre fully to your three last letters to me ; jn the mean time I indulge a hope, th?t you will furnifli Sie with less evaflve anfwevs- than those you .'have given to several of the queftiinis I hid "proposed to you : one fcf 'these queftiops I fna'.l row repeat, though in a different form ; firft dating wh it you do not deny, that the crew of the Arethufa -were healthy when they were discharged, and that they remain ed so at tutir refpeftive lodgings, where thtfy had deposited what you call their in fected materials without-giving the prevail ing fever even to one person there, and yet you fay " that Mr. Latimer, Mr. Lewis and others might have received the conta gion from passing near those people with their infefted materials." I now aik you, whether from any of those records ancient or modern which you hs.ve quoted on the present occasion, you can furnifli an instance of the crew'of a (hip in perfedt health, ever » having given the yellow fever to a number of people whom they had transiently psfled in the streets or elfewherc, and at the fame time not having infe&ed any of those with •whom they lodged or where their supposed infe&ed materials were deposited ? \ ou fay that you were induced to address me again by a powerful desire of ascertaining the ori gin or true cause of the prevailing fever, if your labours terminrJe here in the present instance, they will be of little life to the pub lic ; or do you mean to crown those labours by proposing such means or.regulations in addition to those already adopteS, as may probably prevent a repetition of our present calamity from the various causes which you have assigned ? if you have not this in view, you will aft the part of a phylieian who should tell his patient that he was stimulat ed by a powerful desire of ascertaining . the origin and cause of his disease, and then to leave him either to fink under it, or to apply to some other physician for the falu ]tary means of recovery. For my own part I now declare that I should not have ap peared before the public on the present oc casion, unless with a view, firft of tracing our present calamity to what I conceived to be its tru? source, and thenxif pointing out the probable means of preventing a repeti tion of it from fitr.ilar causes hereafter. In my next address to you or to t'a? public, I fllall propose such means or regulations as appear to me most likely to succeed, fubjeft however to any 'salutary iniprovewents which a candid discussion thereof ma.y intro- j diice. I shall then ihew the difficulties I that are opposed to the adoption and exe-1 cution of such regulations as can afford any ! •security against the future attacks of the yellow fever of tropical origin, if it can be introduced in all the variety of ways that you have mentioned in your seVeral letters to roe. I hope I shall soon receive answers to the several questions which T have asked you, your firft address to me having furnifh ed me with a fair claim to them ; and as I am npw told that yon reside in the country, it is probable yon there poflefs that leisure and retirement, which you heretofore al ledged you had not at your command ; yet if these should still be too heavily taxed by your correspondence with me, you must place it solely to the account of that leisure and retirement which it seems you had at your command, when you commenced your unprovoked and illiberal attack on my letter to Dr. Mease. BENJAMIN Yv YNKOOP. (Dftober 9th, 1 707. x - \ For tht Gazette of tlx United Stater. AS physicians of diftinguifht;d abilities and experience in this country as well as it the Weft-Indies differ extremely in opinion, refpe&ing the most cffc&ual means of treat ing the malignant yellow fever, and particu larly refpefting the use of hlood-letting, and as nothing c»:i determine a question of faft but 3 statement of cases and a comparison of the success which has attended each method of treatment : I am induced to ft?te the re ; fult of my experience on the fnbjeft in hopes of inducing others to do the fame that a question of so much public concern, may be cleared from the ambiguity in which differ ent views and idle fpeftators liaveinvolved it. oa. 9. Wm. currie. That copious and a frequent repetition of blood-letting was frequently salutary in the malignant yellow fever which prevailed in Philadelphia in the autumnal season oT '93, I am convinced from numerous cases in which I employed it, and which from rea soning on the nature of the disease and from its speedy tendencies to putrefaftion, as well as from the writings of several Weft-India physicians, I strenuously opposed till incon trovertible fa£ls in the praftice of" others convinced me that it was fafe' in aH cases distinguished by inflammatory symptoms. But my subsequent experience in 1793> a,, d in '94 well as the present season-has taught me that blood-letting accelerates the fatal termination of the disease by in creasing debility and inducing typhous co ma, in all cases and in every fiage of the di sease, when the prostration of strength is ve »y diftinft, accompanied with great oppres sion and anxiety at the precordia,fhrunk and pale countenance, deep sighing and restless ness, (which with the suddenness of the at tack, short continuance of the chill, pain in the head, redness of the eyes or soreness and burning sensation in the stomach, taken ccl ledtively, distinguish it from every variety of the bilious or remitting fever) together with the weakness, quickness, small and foft adlion of the arteries at the wrists. In September 1794, the malignant yel low fever wa3 introduced into Philadelphia by travellers from Baltimore, where it had prevailed for some time previous to its ap pearance here, it was also introduced from St. Marks by the snow Commerce, com manded by Mr. Shirtliff. Archibald Flow er who caught the disease by sleeping on board the snow, was bled once on the se cond and twice on tjie- third day from the attack—the last blood after becoming cold, didjiat fepjirate into ferurn and craflamen tnm.but remained perfectly fluid, and rc fe-nbled in colour and confidence a mixture of rrtolaljes and water. Of 27 patients that I attended with the yellow fever in 1794, only nin: recovered. The greatest number of those to whdm the disease proved mortal were bled three times within the firft three' dtfys from the attack, and two of them five times, the lift quantity taken from any one in the course of the disease was 45 ounces, and the Lirgeft quantity 82 ounces. And Dr. Buchannan afEures me in a letter, an extraft from which was publi'fhed in Mr. | Fenno's Gazette some tinfie in Oftober, of fame year, that those who bled most at Bal timore that season, loft the greatest number of patients. Previous to my leaving the city on ac count of the fickrufs and situation of my own family, the present feafpn, I attended seventy patients, fifty-four of whom reco vered. Of these 70 patients, 34 were bled three times at the early period of the fever, vid freely purged with a compofition.con flftingof calomel 5 grs. jalap 10 grs. arid I cream of tartar 1 fcru. given every four hours till it had the intended effedl. Of i j these 24, 21 recovered. Of 13 that were 1 j bled only once and freely purged, 11 reco- | 1 vered, 2 died. 14 were bled three times ■ and treated in other refpe&s like those that were bled twice, 11 recovered. 3 died 5 were bled four times, &c. 3 recovered, 2 died. 6 were bled five time?, 3 recovered, 3 died. 1 was bled nine times and I eleven times, and both recovered. In both the : last mentioned patients, symptoms of in flammation were very evident and remarka bly obstinate, poflibly supported by the daily use of mercury in small dofex> the . most phlogistic of all medicines when em : ployed in that manner. An inflamed state ; of the ftomnch in the patient that was bled j eleven times was the predominant complaint, I and the blood in the latter stage of the dif ; ease always threw up a tough bufly fire, and imdsnieatli it retained a healthy aspect, as did that also of the patient that was bled nine times. The patient that was bled ele ven times in the course of seven days, loft 100' on ices; the other about 96 ounces, j Six patients wer.' not bled at all, owing to insuperable prejudices, 3 recovered, 3 died. From the preceding cases, as well as from a multiplicity of others that have come under my observation, 1 am confident that blood-letting, to a certain extent, as j well as purging, is not only fa r e but abfo- I lutely beneficial, in all cases and at every pe -1 riod of the malignant yellow fever, in which I inflammatory fymjitoms or even an inflam matory diathesis is preient, and especially when the head is aflfe&ed with acute pain, or the stomach with a painful and burning sensation, and the pulse quick and tense or chorded, whether the limbs be preternatu rally hot or moist ; whereas in every cafe that I have seen it employed, attended with great prostration of strength, oppreflive weight and sense of stricture about the thorax, with a low, small, quick and irre gular pulse, it has invariably accelerated the fatal termination of the disease. That repeated blood-letting has often been employed with advantage in the plague, which is a higher grade of the yellow fever, as the yellow fever is of the typhus or con tagious fever generated in clofc, confined and impure iituations, we have instances in I the works of the accurate Sydenham, in the Journal of the Plague at Marseilles, as re corded by the learned and refpedlable Mead, in his Discourse on the Plague, page 220, j Dublin edition of 1767, and in the account ; of it at Aleppo, by Dr. P. RufTel, publilh ed in 1790. The abuse, the excess, or the mif-tinied application of bleeding, therefore, and not its* judicious and well-timed application, should be condemned and reje£ted in the yellow fever. But to condemn and rejeft it in all cases indiscriminately, argues not only want of experience, but of reading, refleftion and common sense. Dr. Chifliolm a.furcs us that he cured the generality of the patients that came under his care at Grenada, by giving to an adult jo grains of calomel as soon as possible after feeing him, under every circumstance of the disease and in v;ry cafe ind'fcrimirmtcly ; and .repeating it every three hours, joining opium with it after the fee .nd dose (if it operated more than two or three times, but not otherwise) till a falivat'on began to make its appearance, which was generally in less than 48 hours ; and that 1:1 every cat in which faliv ion could be efiefted, the patient invariably• recovered without any other remedy. [See his eflay on the fever at Grenada, in 1793 aB<J '79+ —page 272-] Whether this method of treating the dis ease is more effectual than any other (as Dr. Chifholm confidently asserts) or not, my experience has not been fufficient to enable ine to decide.

The PreHdent of the United States ;s ex pefted in town in a few days, on his way to the feat of government ; and a number of gentlemen propose to compliment him with a haudfome entertainment. A gentleman, in a /hort paffagefrom St. Domingp, informs, that on the night be tween the 19th and 20th of September, there was a fevere'cannonade for about 5 or 6 hours, off the Cape.' It was conjeelured that captain Barney had fallen in with the British (hips, which were cruising off that port. A letter from an American consul in France informs, that the Ihip Brifels, be longing to Meflrs. Rutgers, Ogden and Sea man, is condemned for want of a role d'E qnipage. Her cargo was very valuable, and 80, coo dollar* were under-written irf this city.

By the address of Carnot to the French on the celebration of the loth of AugvJ}, it is obvi ous thai the government of France is assailed by efforts to r fit re monarchy. Indeed the late \ election is a proof that the opinions of the mass of the nation are unfriendly to the meafuret of the . government ;if not to the con/litution. But even admitting the fa 3, thai a majority of the nation is in favor of a limited monarchy, the difficulties of refloring it, -which Carnot has dfcribed, are real—they may be infvrrr.ountable and if the present conflitution can cxifl and prefrrvc peace !>nd subordination to law, good Frenchman will submit to it, raihfr than rifle the dangerousflorms of another revolution. PARIS, June 23. The new Jacobin club has commenced its fittings in the hotel de Montiqprepcy.yGuin guene is cbofen as president ; the number of the members amounts to 500, of whom there are 30 deputies of the Revolutionary Third. The turbulent session in the council of five hundred, on the 19th inft. refpefting the abolition of the law, which deprived the diredlory of all controul over pecuniary ne gocintions, has produced different remarks in the public journals. Some apprehend a civil war, thinking that the constitution is menaced with imminent danger of its over throw, and that from the jacobin clubs wil (hortly spring up monarchical clubs ; -but our patriots have many obje£lions against the probability of such an event. In order to prevent similar disorderly proceedings in i the legidatlve body, as those on the 29th j instant, a committee has btep appointed to ' make a report on the better organization of the internal police within the halls of the councils, when in fcflion. The parties dai ly increase, and in the palais royal conten tions are conftsntly taking place, which ge nerally appear as forerunners of more impor tant events. The members of the new club (called Conttitutioual Circle's) make <jreat exertions to gain over the military ftirpsto their fide, while numerous ancVn>s?rcnyi)s wri ters attempt to provoke the fokliers against the Parifi«nß. The journals increase the flames of discord more and moftj and very probably there will be some serious commo tions during this summer. N O T I C E.
