Ktft. BRADFORD,
IN your paper of this
morning;, (May 3) I read a piece entitled,
u Errors in the Account of the Yellow Fe
ver of the United States, by a London Phy
sician publifticd in the True American of
May ift."
1 he firft Error stated by this anonymous
Author is
i. He fays, " The Yellow Fever never
appeared in the United States before the >ear
1760,"' —The London Physician fays, " In
the year 1760 during the French War the
Yellow Fever Srft appeared inPbiladelpbia
now here appears the candor of the majcer
ef these Errors in substituting " the United
States" for " Philadelphia," in order to (hew
the exigence of a pestilence somewhere in
America upon the authority of some Indians,
"who described the disorder to a Mr. Vines,
•by the.pointing to a yellow garment, was a
proof of this Err.,r—
A& f anothcr proof of. this Error our Phi
ladelphia Physician fays—" We have an ac
count of this Fever prevailing with great
mortality in Philadelphia and Charleftown in
1699 and la New-York in 1701, .aud seven
or eight times since in different parts of Am»-
rica '-*-That this-is true may be well known
here, but it can' scarcely be attributed as an
error in the opinion of a London .Physician
whose ignorance of a fadt, not recorded in
anv general hiftnrv, cannot, without a very
bold figure be called an error. A workpub
lilhed in America in March last, entitled,
the HifiiTvy of Pennsylvania, by Robert
Proud, vol. 1, page 421, speaking of the
Yellow Fever of 1699 fays, " This remarka
ble fitknefs, which in the latter part 6f this
year ha<t e.aufed a great mortality in Philadel
phia, bad for some time before been very
fatal in the West India Islands." Now.
had the Lor. ion physician pofleffed thisbook,
(publifhtxl since his eflay) he would have pro
duced it as a proof of his theory of the fo
reign origin of the disorder with greater
force, than the authority of an Indian's
pointing w a yellow garment is of its domes
tic generation : but though the London
Physician is proved not to have knownevery
thing poflible to have been known concern
ing'tliis disorder, yet this dots not prove an
error in his judgment.
Error 2d—" Our author the Yellow
Fever has prevailed foi several years only in
the sea ports of America." The Philadel
phia Physician adds, " this error is refuted
by its not being propagated, in country
/owns qr places when carriedfrom our cities.
It cannot spread beyond the impure exhala
tions u'bicb generate it, except under very
uncommon circumstances of filtb or predis
posing fatigue
I have here given the very words of two
paragraphs of o»r Philadelphia Physician,
following in order, dnd if ever one was a
complete refutation of another aflertion, the
latter totally deßroys the former ; read them
over again Mr. Bradford, I cannot make the
thing Aronger by any modification of the
matter or manner of them.
Error 3. again " A jdErrofof this au
thor is, that the exemption of the European
cities from the Plague is owing to their qua
rantine Laws," these " may have operated
in part"—(What ! against domestic infec
tion ?) " b-ut the chief cause of thecefiation
of their pestilential calamities has arisen from
the total change which has taken place, in
the diet, dress, manners, construction of
houses and pot ice of cities of the Inhabitants
of Europe since the commencement of the
present century"—Now this is as naked and
tinfupported an aflertion as ever was attempt
ed to be palmed upon the public ; where is
one iota of proof that, such a change has
taken place ? The London Phyiician fpeuks
as a person who has travelled through the
south of Europe, and aflerts in the face of
thousand* of others who rcfitle in London,
and by their own knowledge from travelling
and innumerable books of travels, to which
he implicitly appeals, could have contradict
ed him if he were wrong, that no such change
has taken place any where but in the new
built parts of cities 5 and on the contrary,
that the filth of njofl of the European cities
in climates li<v -i' thun ours, vet exceeds r;i!
belief of Americans, and lie has placed the
ft re of his arguiner.tt 011 these t'.ifts ; all of
which are to be converted into a double ter
tian error by th? round allertion cf this Phi
ladelphia Phylicinn. I beg, Mr. Bradford,
that you and your customers will again pe
ruse the performance of the London Physi
cian, in your paper of the tft inft. to save
quotations from it in the present publication.
"4- The fourth and la It Error of this
author that I (hall mention, (though many
more might be ennumcrated) is, that the
cities of the United States are kept remarka
bly clean. This Error is refuted by the smell
of Dock f r Cellars, Garrets, Common Sewers,
Stinking Beef and Fish, Putrid Coffee, Mill-
Dams, Marshy grounds in our Cities an 4
INLAND TOWNS and by the Yellow Fever
being exclusively confikbd to a space
within the reach of putrid exhalations."
This quarto-quintile error is one of the mod
extraordinary, paragraphs that lias come un
der my notice. I pal's over the pare n the
lis for the present in order to give our Phi
ladelphia doftor a question 0:1 it after a short
notice of the reft of it. Arid fir ft I would
use a proverb in every person's knowledge
that " lie is an idle bird who defiles his own
nest. ——l his Dr. Sinelfungus who difcovevs

fis—A'/e not the :r.ore errors which
might be enumerated easily soluble without
a chemical process into this one homo
genous one ? That the Londcni physician
has erred multifarioufly in contradicting the
opinions of a celehrated Philadelphia physi
cian and of his numerous pupils dispersed
through the United States and of all the de
mi-favans who think their reputations eftab
lifhed by being of the fame opinion (with or
without understanding it) that the found r
of the do&rine of the domestic origin of the
yellow fever in the United States has com

' cian Mr. Bradford, I am a citizen of Phi
ladelphia who have fuffered much loss in my
family by the'prevalence of the yellow fever
in 1793 and since. I lament with the Lon
don physician that the disputes and " differ
ences among the physical faculty in Ameri
ca both on the origin, the nature and the
treatment of the disease have been prosecut
ed with an enthusiasm and rancor which has
proved one of the ft ve re ft afflictions which
has accompanied it and has robbed the un
happy sufferers of all the comfort ivbich con
fidence in a physician is capable of inspir

revival of that confidence which is so eflen

any other disease. But when we fee the
afts of the genefril gevernmerrt to give

The acts of the State Legislatures in form

the Corporations of this city for keeping it
clean, and the well-meant endeavors of a
foreign physician to/alarm and enlighten lis,
a man who a'ppears by his writings to have
refined here a considerable time and particu
larly during the pestilence ef 1793, and who
has discovered a great fund of knowledge on
the l'ubjedt, attempted to he turned into ri
dicule by an anonymous lift of errors, with
out foundation or support ; I cannot fortear
to lament again over the fallen state of our
beloved city, and to recdr.imend for its .in
habitants to think for themselves and enquire
Why or whence are these things so ?
I know nothing of Dr. Mitchell but his
name, andJefs if the London phyfician,for
I never heard his : but I beg my fellow-ci
tizens to peruse .the .two publications aiid
judge for themselves. The work of the lat
ter was mcft certainly well intended, and
contains agreat variety of ufefol knowledge
apparently concentring in a point, the utili

former is referred' to *by our Philadelphia
physician as an ar.fwer to and refutation of
it : let it be read. Et valeat, quantum va

" I ana happy to have it in my power to
inform you of my fafc arrival here, after a
heavy gale, with the loss of my main mast,
deck, caboose, water and provilions, except
one barrel which was below. The gale
lasted 3 days with great violence, and catiftd
such a sea as I never saw before on this fide
of the Atlantic. All bands, except myfelf

we were in need of, for which he has our

PLAGIARISM is undoubtedly a cr'me ;
but, like many other crimts, it may admit
of palliation. Our capacities are so confined,
and every fiibjeft of in-reftigation has been so
much exhausted, that it is almost inipoffible
to write without ufiug the sentiments of
other writers. A man of exteirfivi reading
may likevVife use the sentiments or even ex
preflions <rf others, without being conscious
of it. No one can call this plagiarism. I
should define plagiarism to be the using of
either the sentiments or expreflions ofjothers,
knevring them to be such ; this constitutes
an offence in the forum of literature. I have
the pleasure to inform the public, that an
effedtval remedy is devised. We have a
court constituted, composed of three Teamed
men, who have original jurifdi«l?tion over all
literary crimes whatever. A man must be
| found by a verditt of twelve of his
! peers ; that is, of twelve authors, before
judgment can be passed won him. The
punishment is very severe. He is obliged to
(land in the pillory of public indignation four
weeks fucceflively, attended by a species of
literary ratchpoles, called critics, who fee the
sentence executed. When the circumstances
are not peculiarly aggravating, the criminal
is sentenced merely to a restoration of the
property stolen. Besides the crime of literary
theft, there is tlx: crime of clipping thegood
current Englifli language ; and likewise the
crime of puffing falfe, feigned and counter
feit words as and for true current Englifli,
and many other crimes which I have not j
time specially to mention. I will now con
fine my attention paiticularly to the crime of
literary theft, and 11 tew the detifioni of the
court upon it. James wa> indi&ed for deal
ing the literary of Thomaa; it was proved
that the property was stolen by James, but af
terwards that Thomas had no title to it, he
having ftslen it from John : in other words,
one thief stole it from another. The court
relented this imj'fition so highly, that they
ordered Thomas to be immediately taken in
to tuftody, and James to be discharged from
his indictment.
I will now shew what the court haw de
cided does, not amount to plagiarism. Ann
Seward was indifled for Healing the property
of James Thoinplon, poet. The indi&ment
ft a ted that the i'a ; d Ann did give currency to,
and pass as her otVn property, the following
words and exprelTions—ftic the laid Ann
well knowing the fame to be the property of
the laid James, to wit:
While from those eyes, in spite of fcornfal wiici,
The tender spotless foul looks out and finilcs.
CI VIS.
The following was inconteftibly proved to be
the property of the laid James
While from the hici J chambers of the fourh
Look'd out the joyous spring, look'd out and
fmil'd.
The counsel for the prosecutor contended,
the property charged in the indictment was
beyond all dispute in JamesThorvpfon. They
observed that Mrs. Seward's altering the
property, wa* rather a circumstance of ag
gravation than mitigation of damages. They
iurther stated that Mrs. Seward was as cri
minal as he, who, having stolen a piece of
doth, makes it up into a garment. The
court, however, held that fimilarily of pro
perty was not a fufficient proof of its inden
ti v ty ; that here there were fufficient ear
marks to note the diversity, consequently
that the crime did not amount to plagiarism
in the eye of the law, and the defendant was
honorably acquitted. Many cases were citenl
on the part ct the defendant which the court
pronounced to be good law, one in particular,
where Dr. Young uses this expreifion—
" Man wants but little, nor that little long."
Dr. Goldsmith has it
" M»n wants l ut little here below,
Nor wants that iittle long."

COMMUNICATION.
Ship OCEAN—Capt. KEMP.
Since the result of the cleft ion in this city
has been known, the democratic party, mor
tified .beyond bearing by the complete suc
cess of their opponents have as usual attempt
ed to deceive th* public by making them be
lieve that no change of febtiment has taken
place in the minds of their fellow-citizens;
but that- the ill-success ps their ticket was
afcribable to the uufaii arts uled by the Fe.-
deralifts to influence the vote of the eleftors.
This charge comes with an ill-grace From a
fa ft ion which has notoriously d-rived its life
and nourilhnient from the balelt i'allHieqds
and niifreprefentations. Notwithllamlm the
accounts which were received in \arious
parts of the United States of the mu.-.'ernf
the crew of the flap Ocean, Capt, Kemp, yet
they have the impudence to aflert that this
ftorjf was fabricated for electioneering pur
poses. In order, Mr. Printer, to undeceive
my fellow citizens, I will) you to publili* th«
following
STATEMENT:
The firft intelligence came from a vessel
which arrived al an eastern port, who law
two privateers engaged with a large {hip :
Next by a veilel from the Havanna to New-
London, which arrived early in April, and
brought the account of the murder of the
captain and crew, which was publiflied:
Letters were then received by a vessel which
arrived at th:s port diredly from the Havanna
to a refpeftable merchant, Mr. B ,
from his fen, giving the fame intelli
gence : The news was then confirmed
by arrivals 'at Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Norfolk and Charleston, from Vera Cruz
and the Havanna, all corroborating the
firfl account. This proves beyond a ques
tion that the report had been received and*
published in the Havanna, and credited by
the Americans there. No denial was ever
received until about the 28th of April, which
was not credited, as the fchr. Massachusetts
arrived here the day after, and the news was
again affirmed to be true by Mr. Pilmore,
a pafienger on btjard that vessel. Since then
it has univerfaliy been credited, until letters
were received the jth instant, from Balti
more, dated the 2d May, inclosing accounts
received by vessel from Vera Cruz, contra
dicting the ftorv, and dating the arrival of
the fliip and crew at that port. How this
flory firfl came into circulation, or whether
if arose from the fame treatment having been
received by a vessel from Philadelphia of con
fiderahle force, which failed from Philadelphia
last winter, but has not iince been heard of,
I cannot tell. Certain it is, however, that
it could not have been fabricated for elt-ftion
eeriiig purposes ; for the account was re->
ceived in almost every port in the United
States, by vessels from the Havann sh, at
which place it was univerf.illy believed to he
true.

Admiral Nelson-—Gn one of the
French captured ships, were found 14 cases
full of old plate, on which were engraved
the arms of the former proprietors. This
piate had been taken at Malta, and admiral
Nelson has given drawings of the arms to
Sir W. Hamilton, that he may thereby dis
cover the true owners, in order to its being
restored to them.
Ano hej most liberal a&ion was done by
the mailer, officers, and crew of an Englifti
frigate. They had captured a French mer
chantman, and carried her into Tunis ; but
finding some circnuiftances that interested
thera in favour of the c ptaio, whose only
property and support of a young family,
was this vefTei, they with one voice gave her
