Fevers may be greatly relieved by this method : I would also advise to try it :n jtrains. bruifei, burns, fcaldi, fores oj ail kinds, tnd in almost all difordera ot the human frame. The science is at prcfent but in us infancy, and therefore it is not yet reduced to a certainty whether or not it will prove gene rally efficacious in Jits ; some few have bee.i cured and more re lieved, but in mo ft inftanccs, as far as I have known, no universal service bas been vet done, neither in epileptic nor convulfivc fits, nor paralytic cases. Removing obllru&ions of all kinds appears to me its principal life ; and wh<n it is considered that moil dilorders proceed ihere fiom, it will evidently appear, thdt the treaima.t ought not to be tiegleftei in any common cafe. There is th s farther to be said in favor of it, that it cannot do harm in any cafe ; and, may be pro ductive of very great good. I have laid down the matter in so plain and clear a stile, tljat any per Con may be capable of pra&ifiug with success, by the bluf fing of God. What has brought the (cience into great disrepute, has been the almolt universal pia£lice of making a lucrative trade of teachrng arid praftifmg it, which it is the great intention of this pamphlet to put a flop so, by laying the whole science, so far as refpc&s prac tice, open to all, and thereby putting it into their power to treat their friends and neighbors in the moil effectual manner. But I would recommend all invalids who apply for relief to attend to the following rules. First, to avoid all spirituous li quois. Second, rub *.hemfelves well with a very coaife towel, and likewise make nfe of that exercise so much recommended by the late celebrated Dr. Lobb, which is to lift up one hand and one leg alternately, pretty brilkly for about halt an hour together, as often as you can, which will greatly promote the perfpiiation, and univeifally affetl the whole ha'oit. ON A CRISIS IN the<coutfoot the treatment asdirefted, should the patients be thrown into a enfis, or state of mfenfibility, be not discouraged, however terrifying such a state may seem ; it is only nature and the disorder in violent conflict, which will very often happen if the stomach is out of order. In this cafe be sure to continue the treatment till the paroxilm is quite ceased, and they are perfettly eompofed. You will then, in general, find them in a great mea sure freed from all those pains and complaints they came to you to be relieved from. I have known some put into the mod violent agitation, and who continued in the fame, apparently in very great agoni's for fomr time, but come out quite eafv and free from any disorder, without knowing that they had been in fucfi a it ate at all. 1 here is an effe£t very often produced, lels powerful than the crisis, which I have seen attended with very great and good con fluences, called by some a commoto, from the Latin comrnotus. which caufcs the invalid to be much agitated, without affe&ing the mental faculties ; but I have seen many relieved from their dilorders without any of these effe6ls. And I can fay with the flri&cft regard to truth, that I never knew an invalid, let his or her pain have been ever so excruciating, that went from the treat ment without great relief therefrom. It may be necessary to fay fotnething of absent treatment. This may appear to some incredible ; and indeed this part of the fci rnce is more difficult to explain, than that whi h has been already treated of. But whoever considers tht nature of the human mind, and the amazing ilrong powers of which it is such as intense tho't, reflexion, (eolation, volition, &c„ will hesitate before they will peremptorily deny the fach I have already observed, that the mind is the great agent in producing those furprizingeffe&s, which frequeni ly attend tlie treatment. And the thoughts can fix as iliongly upon an absent as a present object. A gentleman of undoubted vciacity lately assured me. that he went into the country, having at the fame time some patients un <.iet l;is care, and he told tfoem to fit at certain hours, and he treat ed them, tho absent, and they experienced nearly the fame effc£ls, as when he was withtbem. Diftancc is nothing to the mind, and since thoughts in many in stanCes have great influence, why may they not have power over the difordcrs of absent persons, as well as those that are present ? In order to treat absent persons, retire, and set down by your felf for a little time; collect your thoughts, and be as much ab flr.i&ed as poflible. Reflect on the inconceivable powers with which God has endued you, and on the benefit you wish to do your absent friend, 01 acquaintance. Let the idea of him be flrongly fixed in your mind. After thinking of him intensely for some time, begin at his head, and in your mind proceed downward to his feet; till by sympathetic power, you perceive yourfelf in union with him, and find whether he has pain, and what and where it is, and treat him accordingly. But if you are informed of his complain";,and are delirous of relieving him, then fu down, and be recoile&ed, and begin and treat him in the fame manner as tho <you were personally with him. Do this with all poflible energy as before dire&ed, and enquire what effe&s are produced thereby ; for sometimes very wonderlul alterations have been perceived by the absent party. Who is there that fully knows the wonderful powers of which he is pofleft, and how much good he may do, if he employs it all to the best purposes ? Should what has been here offered seem but an idle tale, or a phantom of the brain to any, let such not be too hasty in denying what they have not proved ; but let them fairly and impartially try tKe power of this wonderful science, for their own fatisfa£tion,. according to the rules here laid down, and let them ends vor to enter into the spirit and pradlice of it, and fee for themselves what effe£h w ill be produced thereby. And doubtless in a little time they will be convinced of the reality of what I have written, and perhaps w ill have reafori to exclaim, that the one half has not been told them ! Mil. FENNO, THE observations of your correspondent in your last paper on the fubjetft of the bank of uie United States require attention, since they appear calculated to mislead : it is there Hated that natives and foreigners have awarded their approbation to the fytfein, for its immediate and obvious advantages, and for the wisdom and forefight discovered in its organization ; and reafonsaie given for the privation of all right of representation in foreigners, because the time nay arrive when the deflrudtion of the bank and the derangement of the finances of the country may be compensated by the douceurs dfa foreign power. 1 o all this splendid train of argumenta tion it is added, that foreigners muff greatly fall in love with this bank—among other reafous be cause it reserves to the citizens of America the exclusive direction, who aie supposed to be most competent to judge of characters suitable far it ; and these beautiful paragraphs for the bank are doled with the grand finale, that great prepara tions are making at home to fqbfcribe to this bank and that 110 equal object of speculation is perhaps prefentedin any quarter of the <rlobe. I will now make a few observations on these ppfitions—and Sift as to the general plaudit at home and abroad of this bank it is perfectly veil known that tho it was carried by a majority in Congress, yet y«ry wife and sensible men in that body disapproved the fyttem, as well a# othfrts approved of it. It is a matter of notoriety that the celebrated Mad'tfon with ancommen foice of eloquence and reason condemned themeafure as unconltitntiotial and inexpedient ; it is equally known that the bill originated not in the House of Representatives, but in the close and mysteri ous House of Senators, clothed by the weight of whose fa nft ion it was sent to the other House, when it was hurried through with imnienre speed —and in spite of all application for poitponegpent or time for a more mature consideration, carried by a conliderable majority ; it is pretty well known that with the President of the United States it did not pass with quite so much eager ness—having been kept by him till the eleventh hour : it has been cnrrently reported that some of the great officers of State disapproved the sys tem and gave opinions unfavorable to its adop tion. It is a matter of public notoriety that the bill has been thought injurious to the stockhold ers ofthe bank of North-America and detrimental to the charter solemnly gi anted them by the Congress of 1781 ; 011 the other hand it is ac knowledged that the bill has been greatly ap plauded by some proprietors in the public funds amongst 11s, who tlionght they saw their inter ests concerned in promoting it—and hence the most powerful clafsof orators I have met with 111 favorof it are of this number. As to the general yeomanry of Americathey have given themselves no trouble in this business and will probably con cern themselves little about it : It will fnrnilh to the cities on the lea cbaft a new objecft of specu lation, and to some of them additional facilities —they will feel its effects more sensibly perhaps jhan any other part of the union.—and so much may be said as to its general popularity at home ; as to what it may obtain abroad time will inform us : All we can now determine is, that the more unpopular it is there the better for the bank, for in proportion as foreigners become concerned without the means of representation, in the fame degree as they engross the capital, without be ing any way ufeful in its administration—they create a dangerous aristocracy at home, in those citizens who are the domestic proprietors of stock, and who if the number be small, may be influ enced at elections, by douceurs at home at least as formidable as any that can be offered from abroad. It is evident that the £tox!es of foreign ers mult be placed in the hands of citizens, these have a common inter'ift with the donreftic (lock holders in all that concerns the bank, and are likely to vote with quite as much intelligence for directors—these citizens would be chiefly mer chants trading extensively to foreign countries, who are as much concerned to support the bank and finances of the country, as any other class of men proprietors of bank ltock, and who cannot without a flretch of all bounds of probability, be supposed likely to abandon all their domestic relations to gratify any foreigtier in the choice of improper directors : This apprehenfioti of foreign influence, is but a chimera, an illusion held up, to favor a few at home who may by the exclusion of foreign stock, from voting, entertain the hopes of influencing all elections themselves, and this they will always do the easier the fewer there may be who are allowed to vote at all ; and therefore cannot but form the wish, that foreign ers may take no concern or but little in this in ftitutiou, that its elections may be the more nu merous and refpeifiable of our own citizens, who certainly at last mnft be most deeply concerned in the prudent diredlion of the Bank—and are therefore interested that the elections he as nu merous and extensive as pollihle—and not to fee the stock held by those who can give 110 kind of protection, and can he of no fort of life whatever as to the concerns of the institution.

" Does the circumstance of the Queen of France wearing a dagger to prevent, by filicide, an ignoble aflaWination, argue more the fortitude ot ancient virtue, or the pffiulance of female pride ?" The situation of the Queen of France at a ci'ifis the uioft alarming to her personal fafety, and the moll important to the honor, humanity, and freedom of a great nation and a gallant peo ple, nin ft interest the feelings of every mind of sensibility.—The celebrated Mr. Burke has al ready mentioned this with a glowing warmth of feutiment, and in language peculiarly hij own. This question was last Thursday night publicly proposed and highly approved of, as one chat in volves the most (erious objects of enquiry, and will lead to a debate worthy the attention of the Christian, the Philosopher, and true Patriot.

BOSTON, May 2 Extract of a letter from a diflinpuifhed charaßcr it London, to a citizen of this Covnnonwcaith, dxttd March I, 179 T. " I cannot indeed forbear to communicate to you thole mixed feutiuients of exultation, fiar and hope, with which the present state of affair* in Europe have filled the minds of every z£al.ou»- friend to equal liberty. " That wonderful event, the French Revolulv :, fills all our thoughts, and occupies the whole mind.—We dehre its permanence and profpcri ty, with more tiian paternal solicitude ; for we look upon its firm eftabliilunent, as an event which will liecedarily bring after it the ::nal emancipation of every other fuciety in Europe, from tn'ofe monarchic and ariltocr.itic chains, impnfed by the violence of arms, a:id riveted on mankind by ignorance,credulity and prieftcraft. And you will pardon me, if I tell you, tli >t, in mj' opinion, norwithftanding the brilliancy of American exertions in the cause of independ ence, the continuation of the freedom cf tliat vast continent equally depends on the liability of the French democracy " The Americans i ave a little too mncli of*tlie eavcn of their ancestors in iheni : They apptar o turn their views and desires more to the ac juiring of gain, than tiie enjoyment of rational liberty ; and to have entertained that mifchie»- 3us opinion, that the felicity of nations dej on their riches.—They have also, I think, been guilty of a dangerous error, in the not restrict ing the Members of their Congress from the en joyment of those lucrative offices eitabhlhed by their authority ; and this may become the source of oppreflive taxation, and the foundation ol ariftocraric wealth and ambition. " The unexampled virtue of ihe French Le gislature, in cutting off this source of corruption, by depriving themleives of the office, sets them on a footing of merit, superior to that which any other popular allembly ever obtained ; and the bright example of tin* government, if it stands on the fame footing as it is at prefenr, with the advantage it will con fer on society, will awe the governments of otlier countries into moderation ; and serve as an anti dote to your American travellers, against the fafcinaiing charms of ostentatious luxury. " You may well believe, Sir, that very con trary sentiments to these, which I have above described, agita:e the minds of a very large pi'' t)' in this country.- Mr. Burke, who may e coufidered as the mouth of this party, afi" c e ftvemious fupporterof monarchy and arihocracy, has published a work in which all these Hg 1 ' 4 are pertinacioully defended, and. the trench go vemment and Legiflacure abused with great vi- rulence. f " J hough popularin this country, huaniwe - ers are numerous, as he is coni".c'* IS Ckamtian of Aristocracy here.'
