New-York, June 13, 1794.
To the Members of the Medical Society
in New-York.
Gentlemen,
I THINK myfelf greatly honored
in being congratulated on my arrival 3
in this country by a Society of persons 0
whose studies bear some relation to my w
own. To continue, without fear of
molestation, on account of the mod
open profeflion of any fentlments, civil c '
or religious, those pursuits which you , w
are fenlible have for their objedl the ad-
vantage of all mankind, (being, as you ' r
juiflly observed, " necessary to the orna
ment and utility of human life,") is my C(
principal motive for leaving a country ' 3
in which that tranquility, and sense of ,e
security, which fcientifical pursuits re- b'
quire, cannot be had; and I am hap- P 1
py to find here, persons who are en
gaged in the fame pursuits, and who •
have the jufr sense that you discover of
their truly enviable situation. T

J cept our congratulations. j nr
We join with y r ou in sentiment, that |p t
the prelent period is critical. It is a
peuod in the affairs of our country in

difinterelted union and exertions of all j tu
her friends peculiarly ifnportaht.
t While the government of the unibn
1 have justly conlklered the United Stales pi,
1 a neutral power, and while from the t ; )t
Itiict observance of such neutrality to-: ; n jj
t wa.ds the belligerent powers, we were
intftled to all the rights of a neutral i:' 4,
tion, it is painful to obleiVe, that our

seized and condemned, our Flag insult- 1
ed, and our teamen abused by iome of
the combined powers, efpi cially the
• | British nation, ju open violation of the,

and the meaiures t'hey have Iteadily piir

■*dy the furtner extention of the calamities
