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.
Sir,
A Resolve, exprcfling in terms the
molt cordial, the unanimous thanks of
the House of Representatives of COll
- to the Militia in adtual service for
the fupprefiion of the late Infurredlion,
has been communicated to me by the
• Prclident, in a manner which cannot
fail to enhance the value of so honorable
a tettimonial. The House of Rrpre
feritativesof ihe General Aflembly have,
like wife, declared, in limilar language,
the high sense which they entertain of
the ardor, magnanimity and perseverance
of our fellow-citizens, upon an occalion
so inteielling to the reputation and tran
quility of the State. You will be pleas
" cd immediately to transmit the several
Resolves, relating to the fubjeft, and
the letter from the War Department
(copies of which are, for that purpose,
to—the- Majwr and ,
Brigadier Generals, of the Division of
the Pennsylvania Militia, employed oil
the Expedition ; and you will inllrudl
. the Brigade-Infpedtoi s to- pursue the
moll public, expeditious, and effedlual
measures, for making the fame known
to all the officers and privates of the
quota jaken from their respective Bri
* gades.
it is not in my power to add to the
force of praise, thus spontaneously flow
ing from the highest source of political
authority ; but as it would give me pain,
on any occalion, to fupprefsa heart felt
acknowledgment of the patriotic ser
vices, upon which that praise is bellow
ed, let the tribute of my grateful thanks,
accompany the communication of the
present letter to pur fellow-citizens.
I am, Sir,
Your moll obedient Servant,

nccefsful ill curing distortions in Your.g
People, and has never failed to cure wh«m
jpplicntions were made in due time, and
now begs leave to preftnt to the public a
proof of the happy effects.
In September last, James Dods, late of
Britain, applied to me refpefting one of
his children (a child two yeais and an half
old) who had three of the lower veitebra:
as her Spine distorted, was very weak,
her body bending, couldJnot be moved
without pai*>,had no use of her lower limbs
and one of which seemed contracting, and
had no ease but in a lying posture. 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. Thi» is attes
ted by tire mother of.ihe (fhild who has re
mained since in the city for the benefit of
my attendance, the father having gone to
