SAMUEL DUFFIELD. April 8, '799» As a proof that Major Jackson could not believe the (hip to be in so unhealthy a situ ation as represented by himfelf, I subjoin the following affidavit. AT the request of Dr. Hall, we do here by certify, that 011 the; 22d day of March, Major Jackson, in company with several Cuftom-Houie officers, came on board the ship Thomas Wilson, then at anchor below the fort, after remaining nearly half aa hour and drinking several gteiles of wine with the captain and paffertgers, being informed of the date of the Ihip and crew, he was asked by Mr. Williams if it was neceflary to stop at the Hospital to be examined, bcfoVe we went up to the city, to which he answered, he believed not. In the presence of Philadelphia city, April Bth, 1799. Sworn before MR. FENNO, AS a gentleman, I regret the necessity of contradicting any man's as sertion, and I regret still more, the necessity of denying his oath—but the faculty knows that there are cases on which emollients cease to aft, and which yield only to the knife or the caustic ; of this description is that cafe, which, with reiu&ance, lam forced to lay bare to the public. Doftor James Hall, re fide ot Physician for the Port of Philadelphia, has alTerted that he never said that captain Jones of the (hip Thomas Wilson, now in our harbor, had the yellow fever; he has gone further, and sworn " That he did not tell me that captain Jones had the yrllow fever, but exprefily that it was not the yellow fever." B.G, djw Now, let every man, who reads with at tention the following affidavits, and who re fers to the characters of the men that have made them, lay his hand on hisbreaftand lay what degree of credence is due to Dr. Hall's aflertion, or to his oath. The fubferiber declares that after Doftor Hall had visited the ship Thomas Wilfoo, on the morning of the 23d ot March, he asked the Doftor what ailed th« captain, and was answered, that he had the yellow fever.

In the course of conversation between Mr. Hopkins, Dr. Hall, and myfelf, on the fubjeft of the fliip TJidkas Will'on, after the Doftor had Vilitedand ordered her down the river, the doftor's opinion refpefting her situation was a Iked, he replied that the cap tion had had a bad tever at Petit Guave, •that he had a relapse at Jamaica, had caught cold on the passage, and relapfed—that it was highly improper (lie fhouidhavecome up before Ihe was visited ; he Rated that soon after he had come on fliore he met one of the members of the Assembly, that he mentioned ; to him that he had just been vifining a fliip, the captain of which had the Yellow Fever, that the member of A (Terribly was off from him like a (hot—from the whole of Dr. .

With a view, no doubt, to repel any po sitive teflimony which might be brought against Dr. Hall's negative assertion and oath, he obtains a mod curious negative certificate from his colleague, Dr. Samuel Duffield, consulting Physician for the Port of Phila delphia. " I do certify and declare, that I visited the ship Thomas Wilson, Thomas A. Jones matter, after the arrived opposite the city of Philadelphia ; together with Dr. James Hall the Resident Physician, and the Health offi cer ; and I do declare, that neither on our going onboard ; or while on board the fiiipj or «t any other time, did Dr. Hall inform me that he fufpe&ed the captain or any of the people on board, or belonging to the ship had the yellow fever ; nor did I ever hear him suggest such suspicion tn any other per sons. SAMUEL DUFFIELD." " Philadelphia city, fl". April Bth, 1799. " Sworn before If the two doftors will procure some per son to inform them what is underflood by a negative quantity in Algebra, they may form a tolerable guess what is likely to be the re ception, by the public,which is pretty math ematical in its deduiflions of their negative assertion, oath, and certificate. I {hall only premise to the consulting phy sician, that I think his negative certificate will pass forjnft about as much, as the reli dent phyliciati's negative oath and assertion will, when confronted by the positive testi mony, which has been adduced to tontraditt them. Dottor "Hall made application for another certificate of tfcis kind, but the gentleman to whom he addreffl-d himfelf, had learned his algebra diffcrenJy from Dottor Duffield, and rcfufed to grant his negative certificate to contradlft affirmative testimony on oath —part of which had already been published in the newspapers. The consulting physician mud have much greater confidence in his negative, than I have even in his positive powers. The roads, and the high ways, and the streets, and the alleys, are, however, still open to Doftor Hal), and, by diligent appli cation, I think he may get ten thoui'and children and old women to certify, that he never told them that Captain Jones had the yellow fever. For an answer to what Doctor Hall calls a proof that X could not have thought the ship in so unhealthy a situation, &c. [fee the captain and passengers' certificate, or affida vit.] 1 I refer to the following attestation by two honest, difpaflionate, and dilinterefted men. We do hereby certify, that we went on board the fliip Thomas Wilson, in the river Delaware, in company with major Jackson, on the 2yi day of March. Captain Roach went into the round-house to get the mani feft from the Captain. Major Jackson and> captain Aftimead remained on the deck. After captain Roach had been some mi nutes in the round-house, he requested cap tain Afhmead to ask major jackson to walk into the round-house. Captain Afhmead told captain Roach he had already done so, but major Jackson informed him he preferred remaining on deck, and further told captain Afhmead that he thought her a very dirty ship, and that he did not think himfelf fafe in being on board of her. Captain Roach then, 011 thq request either of the captain or some of the paflengers, asked major Jackson to walk into the round-house, which he did with apparent relu&ance, and the captain offering him a glal's of wine it was drank, and a second being offered to them, it was also taken—major Jackson and the fubfcn bers continuing to ttand while they remained in the round-house. The subscribers declare the,y do not be lieve major Jackson was more than five mi nutes in the round-house, and that although they were so close as almost to touch him the whole time he was there, they did not hear him fay that he did not believe the (hip ougljt to flop at the Holpital—on the contrary, the pilot gave a positive assurance to captain Roach that he would uot bring the [hip up until (he had been visited. Before we quitted the ship, Major Jackson told the subscribers that the bad fme'll had affected him very much. ISAAC ROACH, BENJAMIN ASHMEAD.
