From good authority we learn, that Mr Jay has made application to the govern ment of.France for permission to commu nicate dire<ftly with oUr v Minister in Paris by means cf a packet that (liould enjoy the ui'ual privileges of vellels employed by di plomatic characters, of not being liable to I'earch or examination. This demand is thought by ibme to be indicative of a de sire in the British court of commencing a peace negociation with theFrench,in which Mr. Jay Ihould be a mediator. This idea was fohie time since held out in the En glish prints, and the circumftanct above re lated appears to give it weight.

The parents informed me that she had been so for five or fix mouths, and couldj account fur it no other way than a weakness bio't on by the hooping-cough,previous to which the child had been active and healthy. Upon the Bth of September I fitted the child with e pair of patent flays and an ap paratus Spinalis Extendens; in a few days lhe feerred perfectly easy, could fit upright and be carried about without complaining —The distortion is now fcarcelype rcepti ble ; the ctfild can stand or fit upright,and walk with a little affiftancc.
