infant, was every thin* ; and tVu principL the gcntlc;n?a fiom PencfylvanUi had teen too prudent to defend. He had, on the con trary . endfliyured to call away the attention of t'lt hr.use fti>'ii the true principle, to some trifling detail* of the resolution. In this he acted wifely. Hut the gentleman from Vir ginia (Mr. Nicholas) lef» cautious, had spoken out with his usual candor, and as ferted that th* pra&ice was proper, the principle justifiable, and that he himfelf fnould glory in having afted in the fame manner. This, said Mr. H. is a candor whioh I admire, for I like the man who tells me plainly what he aims at, and what he means- The gentleman from Virginia has declared it honourable and proper in any indi vidual, or set of individuals, who believe themselves more fit than the government for conducing the foreign relations of the coun try, to take the buflnefs intotheirhands, and adopt such measures as they may deem pro perfor obtainiogpeace ; or, by neceflarycon frquence, for accomplishing any other nati onal object wh'ch thry may think benefici al. X* ' This principle, so utterly fubverfiveof all » regular government, has b#eri so fully expo sed by my colleague (Mr. Pinckney) that it is unnectffary to fay any thing more on the fubjeit. But I request the house to tear it in mind, when they come to a deci sion on this fubjed, that this principle has been jullificd and even extolled, by one of the mod refpe&able members on the floor. Little petty infurgems, the mere journey men of fodition, who now and ihcn peep r.ut t.f their holes to search for mifchief and then fhriuk back to escape from punishment, excite mere contempt than dread ; but when principles utterly subversive of all law, or der and government are opeuly avowed and preached up .by men of character, station and influence in the country, then it is that we ought to be alarmed, and to prepare for opposing their fchemcs with energy. I am very sensible, Mr. Speaker, that all this will be treated, by some gentlemen, as mere empty declamation, the mere wander ings of an heated imagination. . This ha 6 heretofore been the cafe with me, and it is thus I have always been treated, by some def«riptions of men, whose warning voices for neglefting to listen to which some other , cqumries are now plunged io irretrievable ruin } to me these confiderationa appear to be the must important truths, on oar atten tion towhieh the preservation of this govern ment, arid the fafety of this country, in a great meafune depend. Ir is from this quarter, from the introduction of foreign influence, through the medium of domestic faction, that the republican governments are efpecialjy menaced with deftru&ion Mon archies, despotisms, ariftocraciea, which, for the moll part, depend upon the support of a few, may be subverted by foreign force, but popular governments unless quite con temptible in point of ex rent, cannot be subverted without the aid of internal di vifiori. This division is effected by meant of foreign influence, which mutually lup ports, and is supported by domestic fac tion; therefore every thing that tends, how ever remotely, to faciliate the alliance be tween those two deadly foes, is tnoft care fully to be guarded agatnft. What Buona faid to the Italian', after he had subdued and plundered them, by means of the divi sions excited by hirrfelf, is a mod important leflon for all republics. •' While a nation, " he, is armed, united, and disposed " t° defend itfclf, it is always invincible." Let us well refleft upon this all important lefTon, and oppose in the threshold, by a dnpting the resolution now on the table, the firft beginning of this fatal alliance be tween foreign influence and domestic faction; this prolific germ of intestine division, which if fufFered t» grow, will soon pro duce the bitterest fruits to this coui^jry.

An expedition against the south of France in retaliation for the invafnn of Egypt, i 3 contemplated.—Our Court is to°furnioi 30,000 men. The Ruffian and Turkish fleets, late in our waters, presented the grandell fpetftacle 1 ever seen in this city ; and it is conjeftured ( this armament has for its oojedts the poflfef fions of the French in the Adriatic and Tyrr- I henian seas, and the Gulph of Genoa.

He charges Dr. Towne (who pub lished an account of the Yellow fever in 1726) with having confounded it with the Inflammatory fever to which Europeans are fubjeft on their firft arrival ; and adds, ■" "Whoever will be at the pains of ooferving, will soon perceive that the author (being perhaps deceived by some phcenomena that are common to all acute fevers) has blended t9gether two very different maladies, I mean the Malignant, and the Ardent fever, in one and the fame description, without'any discrimination of the symptoms proper and congenial to each, and which plainly distin guish the one from the other; comprehend ing, or rather confounding both under'the general title of Febris Ardens Biliofa."— (Page 2d.) The fame author afTures us that " the air of Batbadoes is is general rematk ably frefh and pure——the land well cultivated' and entirely free from lakes and mar&es, and afmoft from woods, and that it is agreea bly diverfified with risings and hills." (Page 7.) At page 19th he remarks that " New-comers and feafaring people are mod liable to this contagion ; but it fornetimes (though more rarely) invades the natives too, of whom at times he has had many un der his we." Don Ulloa, in his Voyage to South A nerica, chap, jth, fays, the Vomits Prieto (the name by which the Spaniards designate' the Yellow fever) was unknown at Cartha gena and all the coast of South America, until the years 1729 and 1730. In 1729 it was dreadfully mortal on board the Guawda Costa, commanded by Don Domingo Juftini ani, and in the following year on board the Galleons, under Don Manuel Lopes Pin tado. Dr. Poupe Defportes, who re fide d in the island of St. Domingo 15 years, viz. from 1732 to I74>> and published an account of the Climate and Difeafesof that island, fays, the Yellow fever is called by the natives, La Maladie de Siam, from its being firft ob served in the island of Martinique, at a time when fome.Veflels lay therefrom Siam (a country of the farther India, in Asia.) This author remarks that this disease rarely at tacks the Creoles, but that flrangers from a colder climate are its principal vidtims. He adds that the disease was a long time un known in the islands. This opinion appears 1 to have been embraced by all the French who ' have written on thefubjed. And Dr. Paf chalis asserts, that the disease was entirely ' "Xtmft in that island for a number of years previous to 1793. ' Hillary, who published his obfermions on the diseases of Barbadoes, in 1759, supposes the Yellow fever is a native of the Well-In dies ; though he acknowledges that the 11 a- 1 •ive inhabitants are in general exempt from it, and asserts that it is contagious when ' highly malignant, or when combined with foHie other disease. Dr. Shotte has given an account of a fever which prevailed in Senegal in Africa in the year 1778, distinguished byyellownefs of the ' (kin and black vomiting, which was intro- c Juced into the English hospital by some black messengers from Goree, a French gar- c rifon. Dr. Shotte adds, the disease was so highly contagious and mortal, that of 92 white men that were on the iflana when the French invested it on the 28th of January r 779, °nly 3.? we re left alive, and Bos these 1 were then verj' ill. Dr. Blane, in his observations on the dif- ' eases of seamen, asserts that the Yellow few l differs from the Bilious fever in hot climates both in its causes and symptoms, and that ' though it is chiefly confined to tailors and f loldiers, he has seen it communicated by con- * tagion even to the black nurses. He also remarks that the Yellow fever is so much ' confined to the navy, or persons who have buflnefs with vessels from more temperate climates, that very few medical gentlemen with whom he had converted at a distance 1 from the sea-ports, had ever seen a cafe of ' it—(Page 398.) • 1 " Dr. Mof.-ly, though he docs not suppose the Yellow lever (which, like Towne, he has confounded with the Syr.ocha, to which new comers from a cold climate are liable on their arrival within the tropics, from the fenlible qualities of the air,) to be contagious, is verv positive in his aiTertions that it is entirely d fFerent in its nature and causes from the ' Bilious fever, '■ as all constitutions are liable to the latter in hot climates, natives as well as (I rangers." t. Dr. Chifliolin, who, in 1794, wrote his j observations on the Yellow fever which Ap peared in Grenada in the year 1793, is posi tive that the difeafr was introduced into Grenada in the vear about five months before it vifitcd Philadelphia, by an infefted e veflel and crew from Bulam, a new British t fettleraent in Africa—.And that it was so s contagious and malignant, that it destroyed mpre than 200 out of 500 seamen stationed r there at that time, and before the end of Augufl, one-fifth of all the native inhabi „ tants of the town of St. George, in that illand. Towards the close of August, at a time when the atroofphere \vas very hot, calm and dry, the disease cealed of a I'uJden, and did not re-appear till the February fol lowing. Dr. William Wright, who had resided r long in Jamaica, in a letter to Dr. Garth fhore, dated Decembet joth, 1794, publilhed in the 7th vol. of Medical Fasts, remarks . that " Some late authors, who have written on Weft-India diseases, have roundly aliened that in tropical countries fevers are not con tagious ; but whoever has had the care of crowded hospitals, of jails, of ships of war, or of transports full of troops, "tnuft have seen numerous and fatal inftaireei of conta gion in the Weft-Indies; more especially ■where chanlinefs and ventilation have been neglected."
