Xijt ; PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9. /- , futr th: Gazette of States. , TO THE PUBLIC. Continued from Monday's Gazette. Dr. Currie in his " Information refpejft ing Dr. Ruth's coridudt" &c. proceeds 111 the following manner : " Those acquainted with the causes and laws of contagion thought him insane. " At other titties he promised a removal of the infectious effluvia, with which he af fcrted the whole atmosphere was loaded, as soon as a heavy rain fliould fall. An opin ion as groun'iefs as any that ever was gene rated in a whimsical brain." Tlie following extract from a letter writ ten'by Mr- Clarkfon, then mayor of the ci ty, to the mayor of the eity of New-York, is a proof.that Dr. Rulll was not miltaken in hi' 3 prediction of the effedts of rain in checking the fever of 1793. " The refrefhing rain which fell the day before yesterday, though light, and the cool weather which hath succeeded, appear to have given a check to the prevalence of the disorder ; of this we have fatisfactory proof ; as well in the decrease of the fune rals, as in the applications for removal to the hQfpital." There was no rifl: in this prediction.— tnftances of the similar effects of rain upon bilious fevers are to be met with in many of the writers Upon epidemics. Eveu Dr. Currie has fubferibed to it, as the following extradt from his history of the diseases of the United States will (hew—See p. 105. — " Fewer diseases prevail in Autumn, when the ground is frequently refrejhed by flow ers, and the ponds are rcpleniihed with ■water, than in dry ones." We also fee the fame idea held out in page 64. of his 2d pamphlet on the Synochus Idteroides—" Nor does it (fays he, mean ing this fever) agree in its effedt with the miasmata, which arise from putrifying sub stances, or from a tnarfhy foil in any one cir cutnftauce, except being extiriguilhed by Cold and frofty, and perhaps rainy weather." In a late letter also to Dr. Latimer, he has asserted the fame. It appears from these quotations, that Dr. Carrie's brain is not only whimsical, but versatile too, and that in a very high degree. The next charge against Dr. Ru(h by Dr. C. is as follows. « In speaking of his exploits in a letter addressed to Dr. Rodgers, dated Odtober 3cK after accusing most of the physicians of the city of ignorance and obstinacy, he adds, « by means of the remedies before mention tioned, I think I have been the unworthy inftrumeut in the hands of a kind provi dence of recovering more than 99 out of a 100 of my patients before my late indispo sition from the want of bleeding and purg ing. Since tlie 10th of September, I have found bleeding in additiou to the mercurial purges necessary in 19 aafes out of 20. At firft I found the loss of 10 or 12 ounce? fnfficicnt to subdue the pulse, but I have been obliged gradually as the season advanc ed to encreafe the quantity to 60, 70 and 80 ounces." " So much was the doftor about this pe riod possessed witj» the notion that he was the only man of common sense existing, that he not only refufed to consult with any but hisformerpupiliwhofubmittedtoobey his dic tates, that he rudely intruded hi* advice up on other people's patients ; he also appoint ed two illiterate negro men and Cent them in to all the alleys and bye-places in the city, with orders to bleed and give his sweating purges as he empirically called them, to all they should find sick without regard to age, sex or constitution. And bloody and dir ty work they made among the poor misera ble creatures that fell in their way." As a reply to this refufal to consult with Dr. C. and the other physicians who gave bark and wine in the yellow fever, I beg leave to give Dr. R'a own reasons for it, in his own words—(from p. 359. of his Essay on tbe yellow fever.) —" One thing in my eondudt towards these gentlemen may re quire jnftification ; and, thatis, my refufing to consult with them. A Mahometan .and a jew might as welTattempt to worftiip the Supreme Being in the fame temple, and through the medium of the fame ceremonies, as two physicians of cppofite principles and pra&ice, attempt to confer about the life of the fame patient. What is done in conse quence of such aegociations (for they are not confutations) is the ineffedtual result of neutralised opinions ; and wherever they take place, would be cenfidered as the effedt of a criminal compidt between physicians, to assess the property of their patients, by a fhameful prostitution of the diftates of their consciences. Besides I early discovered that it was impoflible for me by any reasonings, to change the pradice of some o( my bre thren. Humanity was therefore on the fide of leaving them to themselves." Dr. Currie's charge against the two wor thy black men, Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, is fully refuted by their great success in curing the fever after molt of the physi cians were confined by it. It is true, these men like Dr. C. had not the advantage of a regular university education ; but like the Dr they were capable of following the in ftruaions of Dr. Ruth. The treatment of the disease by depleting remedies was sim ple and intelligible to common capacities. Hundreds cured themselves by means of bleeding and purging, who could not have the benefit of being attended by a phyficiao. Let us next fee how much truth there is in the following assertions. " The contemplation of his own felf-cre ated ccnfequence, the hurry of buflnefs, the novelty and solemn afpedt of the surround ing scenes, had certainly a very extraordjna ry°effedt upon his imagination and impaired liia judgment. " I knew feteral that he terrified into chilly fits, some into relapses, and some in- t to convulsions, by flopping them in the street and declaring they had the fever—You've got it ! you've got ! was his usual falntati- : on upon feeing any one with a pale counte- t nance. I have been assured that he pronoun- r ced to Dr. Glcntworth, that he would be a c dead man it he would not fubrait to more f bleeding, after he had reduced him almoit 1 to death's door by the viuletiee of his reme- 1 dies.* Two other physicians bwng called 1 in, thought otherwise, and the Dodtor re covered without any more loss of the vital fluid, notwithstanding this alarming and po- 1 fitive prognostication. I " His pronouncing Mr. Michael Connor 1 to be infedted with the yellow fever, when just recovered from the agu* and fcyer, oc- < eafioned a relapse—The fame gentleman as- < cribes the loss of his amiable daughter to 1 the draltic operation of his mercurial purges. 1 " When applied to by Mr. Chancellor to ] visit a patient with Dr. Hodge, he advised 1 him to dismiss Dr. H. for he was a bark and wine Doctor, and would do him more harm 1 than good. ( * " If you will not fubmitto my •voice,fays lis, fetlleyoyr affairs, for you have a dropsy 1f the train, and willfoon It a dead man.") Why has not Dr. C. given one instance of this " extraordinary effedt upon his (Dr. Ruth's) imagination" and of tbe im paired state of his judgment ? He undoubt edly would have done it had it been in his power. As totheaffertion of '• you'vegotit! you've got it! I remark, that after the icth of September, Dr. Ruth believed, and events proved him to be right, that we had no other disease in the city but the yellow fever , it was of the greatest confequenceto inculcate this opinion, as it led the sick early to ap ply for medical aid, and physicians to an early use of the proper remedies for thispre dominating disease. Dr. Rufli's efforts to enforce this idea, were rendered more np ceffary, by the following falfe and most ab surd publication by Dr. Currie of Septem ber 17th in the Federal Gazette of Sept. 20th, 1793, and which he bimfelf'm the (hort space of 15 days contradicted most unequi vocally ; and was obliged to submit his judg" ntent in this inltanceto that of the mail whom he had opposed so (hort a time before. " Mr. Brown, f It affords me particular fatisfadtion, that I now have it ifi my power to inform my fellow citizens, that the progress of the infedtious fever has greatly abated, and that with a little longer perfevrrance in avoiding intercourse with the infedted, as far as humanity will permit, paying at the fame time proper attention to fumigating and ventilating the hntifes, clothing, and utensils from whence the sick have been re moved, or where they have been confined/ the infection which has proved so morul will mofl certainly be entirely eradieat d in a few days; The best method for effei t ing this, is contained in a late publicati >n by the learned Dr; Ruffel. " I have made the JlrißeJl enquiry rt fpedting the number at present confined by the genuine yellow fever, and am convinced that it does not exceed 40 »r 50 in the whole city " There is, however, another formida ble disease prevalent, by which, / have reafbn to believe, there are above a thovfand ill at this time. " The disease T mean is the common re mittent or fall fever. This fever, however, is ntit infedtious. " When the remitting fever attacks per sons not fully recovered from the effedts of the influenza, (which is also itill prevalent here) it occafious a violent determination of the blood tp the head, accompanied with acute pain, a redness of the eyes, with a faint tinge of yellow—-the pulse is quick and the (kin hot. This is the disease which is so much under the power of blood-letting and purging ; and is as different from the infedtious, or genuine yellow fever, as the fun is from the moon, or light from dark ness. " In the fall fever, which succeeds the influenza, the eye is sprightly, though red, the face turgid and slushed :—whereas, in the genuine yellow fever, the eye is dull and inanimate, and fuffufed with a dusky brown, the face pule, (hrunk, and.cadaverous, ai med from the firft attack. It is in the re mitting fever, with the violent affeftion of the head, that the mode of treatment ad vised by Dr. Ruth can only be proper i and not in the infedtious or yellow fever. On the contrary, in the yellow fever, it cannot fail of being certain death. In the yellow ' fever, the means recommended by Dr. Kuhn and Dr. Stevens, are the most effec tual, and the only ones that can be relied on, with such a variation as circumstances, and the period of the disease may indicate. " It is in the fall fever, circumstanced as already described, that there is fafitty in visiting and attending the sick, because this fever is not contagious. Can there be the fame fafety in visiting patients ponfined with the genuine yellow fever, which made its appearance in Water-street the third of [ August last ? Let those judge who have had opportunities of feeing its ravages ! Is that fever, in which the bond of union is imme diately dissolved between the solids and flu ids, and. where the purple current ifflies from every pore, the fame as that for which Dr. Rufli diredts bleeding and purging ? ■ and can there be fafety in visiting perfnus so affedted ? Have we all got the contagion of the yellow fever in our bodies, only * waiting for some exciting cause to put it . into a&ion ? By no -means. The disease, which Dr. Rulh-calls the yellow fever, and ; of which Dr. P. lays he has cured such numbers by the new method, is only the fall fever, operating on persons who have been previously affeSed by the influenza. " It is time the veil fliould be withdrawn from your eyes, my fellcw citizens! I Wm. Currie." " Scft. i-]th, 179.3." The following is his own aft of fclf-rtja- j - tation ; " oSober zd, I 793. ' ' " All the physicians engaged in praftice J at prefVnt in tbe city, agree with Dr. Rush , that blood-letting and copious"purging are j requisite in the cvrre of the prevailing epi-; 1 demic, in every cafe where- inflammatory j ; fyniptams are evident, and that the dispute • 1 hitherto has been about the name of the di- ! 1 feafe, rather than the proper mode of treat- I ment. 1 1 W. CITRRIE." It The effefts of- this itrft publication will ' 1 long be remembered and deplored by the ci tizens of Philadelphia, It contributed very much to ii\creafe the mortality of the fever. To obviate itsdeftruftive influence upon the citizens, Dr. Rush took pains in his inter course.with the Ock, to itnprcfs upon them that they cpuld have no other disease tli3n the prevailing epidernic, by which means he produced an immediate application for medi cal advice, 'and thereby saved many lives. Dr. Rush early discovered further, a differ ence between a passive and an aitlne state of the disease : He perceived that it was pof lible for the contagion to exist is a quiescent state in thefyftem, and to pass out of it with out doing any harm, provided the person thus avoided what he called the ex citing cauies of the disease, such as fatigue, heat, cold, intemperance and the like. The signs ef the prefencs of the contagion in the body were, a red eye, a fallow (not a pale) face, as Dr. C. asserts,—a quick and full pulse, a want of sleep or night sweats. When these symptoms occurred, Dr. Rush never failed to warn his fellow-citizens of their danger, End to advise thtm to avoid the causes that might excite the disease into aftion. By these pieans Jam sure he pre vented the disease in many people. Those who know Dr. Rush, will not believe that he ever obtruded his advice upon any body in a manner that was either rude or alarming ; and those who attend to these remarks up on Dr. Currie's. publication, will not hesi tate in disbelieving tfjat Df. Rush terrified a single perfpn into Wlapfes'or eopvulfions. I cannot help addfhglierei that by pursu ing the above humane and ratiosal praftice of Dr. Rush, in 1793, £>r. Caldwell has affuied me that he has good reason to believe that he has saved many lives, and prevented the formation of the disease in many instan ces during the prevalence of our late epide mic.

TuaJt W Brc.l *, Amidst that wfrrtunutc variety of opinions con cerning the natuieand the best mode of treating the late prevailing fever, I trust I also have a right, jfjCr an ext«nfive and fuccefsful practice of forty ta ve years on this continent, to offer mine. I take th« liberty,-therefore, without fearing to incur the imputation o vanity, to state a few f«i<3j, the rc fult of my personal observation and experience. From the i»th day of Jaly to the 13d of OAo bor, I have had under my care (ifty-feven patients (exclusive df several poor perfom, wliofe names are not on my hooks} many, of whom were afflic ted with the caifling diseases of the fcafon, or the prevailing fdverj : there were also some cases of dysenteries or fluxes. Oat of the whole number I loft but two. One of these had the black vomit* r ing some days before I was called in : the other when convalescing, was, by an uncommon and nnexpe3ed change of weather, from extreme heat So unseasonable cold, seized with an ague; and, as he lay in a garret, and the north fide of the house was very open, and moreover the family re siding in the lower part entirely out of hearing, I . canno*. harbor a doubt, that he died fur want of some warm covering. For, agreeably to oiy di rections prcvioefly to the sudden change in the air, he . laid only under a single ihect and light counterpane. Though I do not pretend to deny that venesec tion, when managed with prudence and caution, may fomttimes he necessary, yet lam free to de clare, that in not one of these sixty seven cases, did I ever use the lancet; and lam bold to assert, for I have strong reasons to believe (from some circumstances which have, fallen within ray own knowledge) that not a few have died the victims of too frequent and too copious blood-letting.— It may be, likewise, not improper to remark, that I adnainifteied Mercury or Calomel very fpaVing i ly, having noticed many tad great inconveniences | from too liberal an use of it, such at violent grip ing, tenefmus, faliV-ition, and other disagreeable and painful concomitants; and I found the milder 1 cathartics to answer every g«od purpose, without exhausting the strength and spirits of the fubjeA. As to a putrid or real malignant fiver, accortf r ing to the idea I have of one (and I run but little rifquc of conrradi&ion when I fay. that I have seen, if not more, at lea ft as much of 1 it as any other pra&itioner On the continent) 1 dlf 1 covered no such thing in the early stages of the . disorder. That the cases were bilious at firft, and r afterwards, from mifmanagrment and a multipli city of other causes, put on the putrid type.

The Executive Directory to the Citizens of Paris. Citizens, " Royalty has just threatened the confti lution by a new attack. After having for a whole year fbaken by their dark manoeuv res all the foundations of the Republic, they thought that they were fufficiently powerful to confiiminate ita deilruftion. They tho't themselves fufficiently protested to venture to aim its firft attack against the supreme depufitories of the Executive Direftory.— Arms were daily diftributtd to the conspir ators; and all Paris knows that one of the distributors was arreHed with a great num ber of bonds, upon which he had already delivered a great number of firelocks. Cards stamped Legislative Body, end markeif with an R, were circulated in order to serve as rallying signs to the conspirators, charged with the office of maffacreing the Direftory and the deputies faithful to the cause of the people. " A great number of emigrants, cut throats of Lyons, and brigands of La Ven dee, attrafted hither by the intrigues of royalifm, and the tender interest publickly lavished upon them without fear, attacked the posts which furrouadcd the executive direftory; but the vigilance of the govern ment, and the chiefs of the armed force, fruftrated their criminal efforts. " The executive direftory is about to lay before the nation the authentic documents which it has collefted concerning the man oeuvres of the Royalists. You will shudder with horror, citizens, at the plots entered into against the fafety of every one of yon, against your property, against your deafeft rights, against your molt sacred polfeffious and you may calculate the extent of the cal amities from which in future you can alone he preserved by the maintenance of the con ftitutian. So many triumphs had already crowned the eftabliihment of this constitution. Your generals and your intrepid defenders had surrounded it with their immortal trophies. At the fame of their viftories, agriculture and commerce relumed their activity, pub lic credit by degrees recovered, confidence and security began to spring up in every heart, and this is the moment which has been pitched upon to re-kindle your animo sities, "to propagate superstition, to re-or ganize the power of fanaticifm,to sow (Joubt and alarms in every bread by opening' new avenue* for the return of emigrants, to (hake th« guarantee of public contrasts: to give the figrtal of civil war, and to retard by the hopes with which foreign nations were in spired, the so much wished conclusion of peace with <3ur external foes, hoaortrable & solid, worthy of the triumphs of the French people and of their generosity. 'No, you will not lose the fruits of your long facrifi ees, you will rife indignantly against those base emigrants, the authors of our calami ties, of all our agitations, of all our Offer ings. You will arm yourselves to flop their designs, and to defend against their attacks your perfons,your property and your rights. But beware of agitations. Do not disgrace the mod glorious of causes by the excesses of an anarchyjuftly abhorred. Refpeft pro perty. Let not an ill direfted patriotic im pulse throw you into a fatal confufion. O bey no voice but that of the avowed chiefs appointed by the government. Rely upon the vigilance of your magistrates and upon the exertions of your legislators, who have remained faithful to the cause of the people. Patriotism will resume all its energy, the constitution all its glory, and every citizen will enjoy, in their fulleft extent, liberty, happiness, and tranquility.

It seems that citizen Ramel, commandant of the guard of the French legislative body, addrefll-d a letter ta the councils of elders and 500, afluring thtm of their fafety, and of the attachment of the grenadiers to the duties incumbent on them : But, to ! when general Moulin advanced With his twp can non against the hall, these fame faithful de fenders of the legiflatur'e, these patriot gre nadiers, not only deserted theff colours, but joined the adailants, delivered up'their own commander Ramel, aided in arresting the devoted members, and exhibited' one addi tional proof, that no reliance can be placed upon hireling mereenaries in the trying hour of danger and dismay. The consequence was the seizure of the brave Pichegru, and such of his virtuous colleagues, as, by their firmnefs in refifti.ng the mafqued tyrants, had become obnoxious to their resentment, and objefts deflined to be immolated at the shrine of personal and party animosity ! What freedom can exist in a country where the legislature is daily fubjeft to the parricidal violence of a sanguinary fadtion ? Opinion should be free as air—No man should be liable to be fevzed, imprisoned and hanijljcd, for exprefling his sentiments where the poflibility of this exists, all liber ty is utterly loft What would be said, if the democratic fadtipn in Congress had wheedled a body of the Philadelphia militia into their meafures,/eized the advocates for the British treaty, imprifoncd and banijhed them—Said ! why, the Jacobins would not certainly have approbated it—but the friends of rational liberty—the cool—reflecting part of the public—the men to be depended on, would have stood aghast !—Their firft sensations would have been those of surprise and astonishment—but the monsters would have been taught that among people ac quainted with their rights, and the necessity of preserving aconftitution they had labour ed to ere£t and eftablilh, very different measures were neceflary to bring offenders, or presumed offenders to justice. The present state of affairs in France af fords a pretty good criterion for determin • ing the state of public opinioa in the Unit ed States—All those who declare in favor of the vile usurpers of ? power arbitrary and unwarranted, would not hesitate at approv ing the fame rascally measures among us— But those who think justly, cannot fail to deprecatethe horrors of the anarchical and despotic violence exercised against the mode rate, peaceably-disposed, patriotic members of the directory and legislative councils. By this day's Mail. NEW-YORK, November 8. The papers which we shall continue to give, and on which the disclosure of the plans of the royalists were said to be founded appear to be exceedingly obfeure. At any rate, they da fiot appear, to us, to be fuf ficiently explanatory ps their views, to have warranted a condemnation of tjie many per sons arretted on them, without fomt form at least of a regular trial. To those, howe ver, who look back to the manner in which every former unfuccefsfnl party has been o verthrownin Paris, the mode in which the last have been disposed of, will not excite any daggering surprize. Madame Orleans has obtained permission to pass into Spain. That another, and another regeneration is not to be confined to the limits of Paris, may be learned from the following article in one of the immaculate, and unprofcribed French papers: " 1200 Distinguished Emigrants will be arretted and tried in 24 hours. The repre sentatives and other accused persons who have.fled, will be tried for contumacy. The eledtions influenced by Louis 18, are declared puH; and the commander in chief of the army of Italy, is ordered to avenge the eaufe of the patriots who were murdered in the South. The division of Maffena has for that purpose marched to Lyons, and Joubert's division to Marseilles.
