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.

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.
' The proposition for a union of the new Ve
netian Jlate, with the Otfalpine republic, has
been rejected, by 15,000 votes egainft 35,000
—lf as fame suppose, Buonaparte intends to
ereQ Italy, from Piedmont to the Adriatic, in
to one indivisible republic, and put h)mfelf at
the head of it, a feus columns of his troops will
, rafily turn the majority of votes in favor of the
proposed union of Venice -jutth Lombardy.
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
