/ The college of physicians of this city, in
confequeuce of a malignant fever which at
p efent prevails, have, among others recom
mehded to the cit.zens the following means,
to prevent its progress, viz. That perlons iu
ftfted should be kept in large, airy rooms, in
Ix'ds without curtains —and pay the ftri&eft
attention to clearihnefs —to keep the streets
and wharves Clean as poilible-*-to avoid all
fatigue of body or mind—to avoid lifting or
standing in the fun, also in a current of air—
or the evening air—To accommodate the
d(efe to the weather—and to exceed rather
in warm, than'in cool cloathing—To avoid
intemperance, but to use fermented liquors,
such as wine, beer or cyder, with moderation.

that which is in this city, pievailed in New.

was short. —Alnwft everv populou? place is

therto, an 4 we trust will prevent their pro

FROM THE NEW-YORK DIARY
Gentlemen,
AN Offker of the Jupiter has it in command
from me to hand you this denial of certain pas
sages which have \ately appeared in yonr gazette.
I owe it to truth—to myfelf—to the error into
which certain French republicans have been
diawn—ind final to tn tfie honor of the fcr
viceofthc French Republic, which Oiall never
perifb in my hands, through want of zeal to
maintain it.

the lame time exposing to public view the in

of the momentary deception of my companions
in arms
While American generosity will revolt a? the fe
daflardly manoeuvres, it will, 1 trust, applaud
me for addrefling you, for the last time, thele
few lines.
The connexions which I have been under a
neceflitv of maintaining with Galbaud, aie of a
nature so frandalous for a man who preserve* aoy

lay them before the public, than to verify them
befoie the tr ; bunals appointed to take judicial
cognizance of them.

By the'law of nations, and a special a<ffc of Con.

The principles of the French Revolution
are the noblest that can give consolation or
hope to the heart of man. Emanating from
liberty, the birth right of all the descendants
of Adam, they must monopolize the affections
of every part of mankind. But American*
know, by experience, that like all sublunary
things, they a»e "liable to abuse ; and their
prayers and wishes are—that in the Gallic
Republic, the Goddess of Liberty may be
wedded to the Genius of Good Government,
and that Order, Equal Privilege l ;, Harmony,
and National and Individual Felicity, may be
the offspring of the alliance—and that not
only there, but that their residence may be
bounded only by the boundaries of the globe.
