An infinite'number of expencea were to be provided for,-without which it was impot fible to open the campaign. I provided for them with the funds i f which I was then depository, and I organized the conquered, country on the left bank ?f the Rhine in such a mariner as to enable us to draw from • thence our fubfiltence, and a part of our pay. • f . After signing the preliminaries of peace, the vifiorioa*-army wßs on the banks of the Nidda and the Mein, in an indifferent eouHtry, already impoverished by the armies of th- Belligerent powers, who had occu pied it for of fix year.. By an arre'.e of the XOth Floreal, I laid a contri bution of 3,725,000 livres. But upon the representation of the inhabitants, who were obliged to feed the army, and repair a part of the claathing and equipage of the soldiers whom the adminilt ration fuffered to go na ked, yes, Sir, absolutely naked, I remitted them a fifth part: therefore the sum of 2,980,000 livres remained tp be levied.

But we find, during tIT? late epidemic, very differ • lot fcirtiiwe'nn tntirtained by Dr. C. In the Oa ictte of theUeited States, OAober 11 (letter to Mr, Wytkoop) he fays, '• If wc compare its (yel low fever) leading and chara£eriflic fymotoms with tbofe of the tilitut remitting fever in its mod _ equivocal and dangerous form, as well as with the okfcrv:«ions of ail the citizens th*; have written expressly cn the fubjeA, the causes " which give rife to other contagious fevers, iro ftrfen a r Acquainted •with meJical Jbijtery, and qualified to discern a the connexion between eaufe and efl*B, can hefitaU: in be lieving that the disease never baj originated in Phila delphia, nor ever can be occasioned by putrid vege table effluvia ; but is always importtd by rtf fels with sick persons or infected goods on board \ He adds 'hat " the difeafs was generated in « nny ether paries the United States-os but at had always been introduced, when it did occur, by 01 ▼effels from the Weft Indies, though the seasons fe had frequently been an hot and dry, and some ta more so, and the (ireets more replete with putrid p' vegetable matter than in 1793. Araonj otuher in- Hancrs of itsliaving-heen imported headduced those mentioned by Dr .' Lining in Charleston, in proof; and yet wefindthatheformerly believed Lining was mistaken is to' the real source of these fevers ; witness the following extract from " The account a/ the difcafcs of tbr United States," above men- / tionod, p. 389 : " Dr. Lining fays, that the yel low-lever has been four times epidemical in Charleston, viz. in the autumn of 1731, 39, 45» ( 48 ; anil ax none of these were remarkable for extraordinary heat orniny weather, that it did not taieits origin from any peculiari- I ty of thd chtnate or foil, but was imported from it th« Weft-Indies ; and even afierts, that whene ver the disease ippeartftJ,it was easily traced to some person who had, litely arrived from the c Weft-India illands, where it was epidemical." I' IV't from a comyirifon of the description which fie (fives ef the symptoms of this fever, with that '/ Chalmers, and partieularly from the more recent obrervations of Dr. Hun- " ter in the Weft-Indies, I am inclined t J think Dr. Lining has fallen into a very great er- 1 ror natir: andrab/eof thit disease. J The eelAaated Lind, of Haflar hospital, appears c to have fitlleu into a similar error, owing to the mifreprefcntition of fa<sts hy L)r. Wafren, and others. He has also recordeil an aerount of the vellow-fever betoming epide-nie in Phil idcipbia, In theve.ir 1740, «» ing to some infeiSed appa rel of a.gentleman who had died of it in Harba does. These clothes, he fays, being unluckily hung abroad to be airrd, presently diffufed the contagion of the fainc ftver over that pait of ' the town, and deftroved 100 persons. [ Ibis was another of the proofs lately adduced by Dr. ' C. in his letter to Mr. Wynkoop, of the disease j being always imported.] "It is however at ( present geaera'.ly known.{ for it has been proved j by the, mofl accurate and usexceptionable ob- t i'crvations,) that no infeclious disease can he commumctted without contail, or the near ap proach to the body of ininfeiied person ; or to rhe somites orftibftances imbued with infeiftious matter or morbific miafinata." Thus we find, in 1789, Dr. C. entertainsd fentimentt which he now fayj,cannot be espous ed by any " quajifed to discern the connexion be tzvten cauft and effect and the fa£t is, that ■ the former were right, and the'latter wrong. la confluence of the astonishing improvements • ;hat have been made ir. medicine, in the eourfe ' f the last twenty years, it is no uncommon I thing for medical gentlemen to renounce falfe ' theories, (except by some who suppose a dimi - nuticn of dignity is eff«aed by acknowledging 1 the pofiil>illty of their having been 'ever wrong) 1 but it is a novelty for pbyficians to renounce ' truth and adopt errfr ; mofl men love U) ad vance it> science, but the above inPmct s flftw a 1 dil'oo'fuion to retrogade, which i» a finally afton . ifhing.
