The Executive Directory has also dismissed Tru don des Ormes and Popelin, two adminif- : trators of the Department of Paris. vMetthieu, an ex-conventionalist, who i went out by-lot in the last drawing, is ap pointed by the Dire&ory, a commiflary in j the fame department.

On the 30th ult. at 6 o'clock in the morn ing, arrived here citizen Ferret, secretary to the French General Clarke, attended by Count Ceromini, an Imperial officer. He alighted at the hotel of the Neapolitan Am baflador, Marquis di Gallo.

The Diredlory has now a |jreed to the fottrefs of Mantua being refto redto Austria ; but all the French ordnance, arms, and ammunition, are to be removed by the French. We are now in diily expectation of re ceiving intelligence that the Imperial army, under the orders of Gen. Terzy, has march ed into the Venetian Terra Firma. The French have already sent back their heavy baggagfc to Lombardy. Our troops en camped near Roveredo, are to advance to Ve rona, and on toward Mantua.

D. president ; by , Samuel Broitn, A. M.— Publijhed Augvfl, 1797., Manning cS* Lor ing, Bojlon. " The putrirl lteains of fame-corroding venom, 'n conmlcfj pores, o'er a'i the pervious lkin ImMbV, soon poison the balfimic blood, And rn>ife tbr heart to ev -ry fever's rap'. " THE author commences his dissertation by observing that, " in Augjift 1796, the town of Boftoa was vilited by a contagious diftafe of unusual malignancy, the circum ftanccs and marks of which were fuel} as threatened great calamity ; arid the alarm spread, and became almost universal. This still increased ; on that in many of its symptoms it bore great refevnblance to the fever which had so recently raged at Philadelphia and New-York." The author then mentions 'what diseases were moll prevalent previous to and at the commencement of this fever; but unfortn nately has given us no information of the state of the atmosphere ; whether it was pure and wholesome, containing much oxygene ; or hot and depressing to the ftrcngth, contain ing much azote. Though in a fubfeqiwnt part of the work he observes, " which, therefore, of the above principles (oxygene or azote) has the greatest share in the pTo duftion of diseases, will not be decided, un til some flandard, or gafmetre, shall be in vented, by which it can be known what is the ptculiar state of the atmosphere when they prevail. Some observations on poisons follow, which might have b?en omitted, as they con j tain nothing new ; and he candidly confeffes | that most of tbem " have long been ac knowledged by the best mfdical writers." The description of the fever is brief, but fuffieiently charafterillic, to distinguish it, and with that accuracy which mark but few. Proximate caufe —he observes, is morbid effluvia, firft lodged in the saliva ; thence conveyed and lodged in the stomach and in teftiries ; here, either perverting or totally destroying the d'igellive powers of these cera, thereby a putrid and highly corrosive mass is generated inftea'd of a mild and bland substance to give nourlfhment to animal life. The fiu-rounding blood veflels feel the change and are affefted ; the whole fy(lem is cate nated with these irregular mottoes, when : lite, unable to withstand so irregular an at tack, yields itfelf a viftim. j That the disease makes its approach by the saliva, he thinks is evident, from per- J sons complaining of tailing the putrid exha- ' lations a long time after being nigh an in- ; ft-fted fubjeft. A moll elegant sentence ! closes these observations. " The alimentary -canal may be called the storehouse of conta gion. Here, like the fkilful but cautious enemy, it commences Its operations by pro greffivdy invading I He- wAker parts unlit t.te inncrmoft fortress of lifc are endanger ed." \ ° The remnle cattf: —Debility.

From the many quotations it inay be seen that the author's stile is energetic, his.deduc- • tions welt drawn, and his treatment, that which has proved mod efficacious in those parts of the United States and Weft-Indies where this tyrannic fever has ere&ed its standard of death.

The public review, by regiments, of the troops, compofmg the fifth brigade of the New H?.mpfh : re militia, was completed last Tnur.day at Qlciremont. We are happy to learn, that the martial fpirlts of the fol-' diery, by foreign indignities, aided by the a£Hve exertions of brigadier general Allen, and encouraged in fevcral in-'hrices by the prefencc of the major genera], ex hibited in turn a very pleasing specimen of military improvement. This brigade now furnilhes seven troops of cavalry and twelve companies of light all completely officered, equipped ar.d uniformed; and capable, with scarcely an exception, of per lorming the extrcife and evolutions of the camp with reputable exacincfs. It is not invidious to remark, that the display of military difeipline of the twelfth regiment, Mnder the command of col. Gardner, would not have disgraced a corps of organized've terans. Gentlemen paflengers in the latest reffels from London, report most favourably con cerning the polity, manufaftures, arts and literature of England. An. amiable mo. narch, a loyal people, a flourifhing com merce, an admirable conftltution, all, all give the lie to those fools, or those knaves, who pronounce Britain in her decadence. She writes vici on her shields, and her in vincible fleets sweep every French and Sp3- nifli cobweb from the ocean. It is curious to compare the nautical journals of French and British marine be haviour.—When one of our Vessels is en countered by his Britannic majesty's frigates or merchantmen, the American captain inva riably records in his log-book that he was po litely treated. But the courteous, thrgallant, the profeffing, the plausible Frenchman, our good friend, our ally, enters the cabin sword in hand ; breaks the chest and the loeker, whips the sailor, aflaffinates the captain, and .conveys the cargo to Viftor Hugues, with an air perfectly polite and Parilian. Ameri cans, be not deceived. Your ancestors, in 1755» knew the nature of those those who growl and chatter in France. They were eileemed rightly thrn; and in all the wonderful revolutions of ths republick the national character is uniform.
