PARIS, August 6.
Gen. Ferino, one of the most distinguish- 1
ed officers of the Rhine and the Moselle, '
and the companion of Gen. Moreau in his
memorable retreat, has been difmiflcd by the
Dirte&ory. W33 it his crime to have oppo
sed a legal resistance to the march of the
troops who were iilegaTly advancing to Paris?
The Council of Five Hundred, availing
themfelvesof the power entruftedto them by
the Constitution, have voted the difmifTalof
fevernl of the commiflarirs of the Treasury,
who were fufpefted of mal-praftices. 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.
Letters from Audicnne inform us, that ;
the Englidi have to make their ap

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. Baron Thu
gut'proceeded about noon to Enzendorf, to
lay the dispatches before his Imperial Ma
jesty, who seemed to be highly pkafed with
their contents. 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.
Several mercantile houses of this place
raifed in Switzerland a considerable sum
lif ir.oney for our court, by way of a loan.
W Citizen Ferret, secretary to general Clarke,
fct out at 3 o'clock this morning on his re
turn to Udioe* with thf dispatches he re
ceived from baron ■ Thugut. Eight hours
. before, the Neapolitan Ambaflador, Mar

AMSTERDAM, August 5.
Most of the ancient representatives of the
Batavian people have been re-elecled. It |
appears, however, that the revolutionary or
violent party has enjpyed a decisive inftucfice
on the primary afTemblies. Deputy Vreede,
a clothier of is the Reader of this
party. He is a man of talfefits, and was the
member who, on accafion of the late note,
presented by citizen. Noel, asserted in the
convention that, with jxfpeft to the accep
tance or rejedlion of the conllitution, the
nation ought to a£t without any foreign
bias or influence. He has also published a
pamphlet tending to prove that the canfti
tution ought not to be accepted.

A letter from the Hague, August
9, inserted in the lalt i'aris papers, fays,
" The present filtration of France, has had
( an influence very unfavorable to the accept

I people with very good intentions, but fear
ful of pronouncing when the future appeared
so uncertain, did not appear at all in the
! primary afTemblies ; so thaUhere and in the

ed. The number of citizens entitled to
vote at the Hague, mull amount to near
6000 ; and there have been only about 500
votes for the conllitution, and 800
it."
' Another account fays, the rejeftion of the
Dutch. conftitutjon arose from the circum
stance of the conllitution') not being fuffi

, INAUGURAL DISSERTATION
on the bilious malignant fever ;—|
read at a public examination, before the Re f.
Joseph Willard, S. T. D. L. L. 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

tions welt drawn, and his treatment, that

vVALPOLE, (N. Hi) O&ober 16.
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.
Against. a mad againft
five gimcrack kings, against the miMiftrous
unatural domination of the populace, against
a cut-throat army, against apostate priests
let 113 build a Chinese wall, and know France
only as a corner in the map of Europe
Miserable is an intimacy'with a people, who
live " without God in the world,", who tip
the wink in murder, who eradicate the fa
cial charities, who give lax reins to ter
ror, and who labour to disturb the brightest
hopes, the fondcfl wiihes of the hump
heart. 1, <» i"i m
