culation in India. At Ltreknow, where he relded for two years, the annual average of deaths from the Small Pox had been 670; but in the lag year, from r 1 the general practice of Vaccine Inoculation, not more r than 6o had died of that diforder ; and there the me• dical practitioners were two centuries behind thole of this country. He alto fuggefted as prejudices lave very ftrong againft the practice in the North of Scot land, that the Edinburgh College of Phyficians Otould be applied to, as being more likely to remove prejudices in that pa r t o f t h e country . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex preffedhis high fatisfalion at the general concurrence of the Houle in the fentiments which he had expref• fed. It was undoubtedly his with, as had been Rated by an Honourable Frienil, that the prefent meafure lhould be ultimately followed up, by fubmitting the whole to a Committee of Parliament. But he could not fee that the queilion came merely under the idea of a fad, which could be as well decided by the Houfe as by Medical Men. The Com mittee, for inftance, could not inveftigate a certain 11 . criterion, with regard to the matter that is em• ployed in diffuting the Vaccine Inoculation, by which it might be clearly dininguithed from matter of a fpurious kind. As there was reafon to believe, that the introduction of fpurious matter had been the Great caufe of thole partial failures which had ex- cited prejudices again& the pradice ;tie% hence an invelligation of this kind became of material impor. tame. Another enquiry, for which prolllonal men were much more competent, would.alfo be made into the reality of thole reports which bad afcribed the generating of other diforders to the vaccine Matter. It had been awed, for intlance, to have produced a feorbutie tendency e and Purely an enquiry into the truth of this aftertion could only be properly made by medical Practitioners. He conceived alf3, that oat centre of enquiry would be (ally fufficient, and probably more effeflual than if fereral bodies of profeifional men were combined for the purport., But he had no doubt that th e CoNege of Surgeons, as well as private indiilduals would tOrrefpond with the learned Body to whom the enquiry would be re ftrtvd, and communicate filch information as might render their Report more complete and fatisfaßory. On ale nature of that Recants When communicated, livery ulterior proceeding of the Houle would depend. The Addres was then agrted tO,Olemine contradficeste. —Adjourned.

We have received American Papers to - the :Bth of May.—They Rate, that Capt. WHivar, of the Lean der. was arrefted on his arrival at Halifax, by Capt. BtRRITORD, the Commanding Officer, in confequence of the death of Plum!, the American feaman. The authority on which this news reßs is not Rated. The fame papers Rate, that General MIRANDA has made an eafy cnnquell of the Province of Caracas, and that he had been joined by fax Britilh frigates, with 6000 troops The latter part of this flatement requires confirmation, and the more In as we find in the American papers, a long detail of legal proceed. ings againft Mr. OGDAN, a Merchant in New York, for the part he took in fitting out the Expedition ; and alfo a Memorial, prefented by him to Congrefa on the occafion, in which-he Rates, that though Mattoon* had applied to the Britith Government, and had at one time lirong hopes that he w. old receive it s affillance ; he had at !alt quitted England in del pair of receiving that aid which he afterwards ob tained from Mr. Jtrrkesow and other rerfons in office in America. He does not charge them with having fupported the plan in their official charafters, but maintains, char in their private capacity they did ; • and he complains loudly of his beingtoade the viiim of the change that had fines taken place in the poli tical circumllances of America. It will bereMembered that at the time of the fitting out of this armamenr, the United States confidered themfelves as on the eve of a war with Spain, and it might then have7been counted good policy to favour the enterprize. We regret that our limits do not allow us this day to lay Mr. 00- DIN'S Memorial before our Readers. Ever, If abridged, it will occupy upwards of three of our co. lumps. We (hall lay it before our Readers tomorrow, if penile. We fhould not, for own parts, be much furprifed to hear of MIRANDA being foto joined by a Nall &kill force. When Spain joins with France in en. deavouring to but out our commerce from the Con tinent of Europe, found policy Items to demand that our Government fhould exert itfelf to, open up ixew markets for our manufattures. Could any thing bet. ter anfwer fuch an end than the emancipation, which to us would be of infinitely more value than the conctneft, of Spanifh America? We are now with fome anxiety looking out fur ac counts of die expedition which Come time ago failed from the Cape. From the known abilities of the Commanders, our expeetations are very high indeed. Perhaps no man in the navy is fo well acquainted with the mode of co-operating with troops as Sir Holes Poimma ; and there is not a more dalbing Of ficer in the army than General Bealsvortio; he ranks with our Mooass, our CRAIOS, and S►twcxu. From a moil valuable Correfpondent whom we have In this expedition, we can satire to our Readers, the radial and, moR authentic accounts. Thcerpoi in the American papers of the o ze i le of the CIA feet by the French iscertaMit . ARMY. ' The late reduaion df Staff, on The 34th of htii month, is only a kind of experiment ; we cat with confidence affure our Readers. that a further ind •ery confiderable reduElton will very loon take place in every dillrie of the kingdom. It is now determined that the 16th, General Hat covav's Regiment, and not the 15th Dragoons, tates the King's duty this (talon. This honourable duty will therefore be divided between the Blues at Wind for and the 15th at Hounflow Barracks. The 16th are to be relieved at Saliibury by that very fine Regi ment the 14th Dragoon% commanded by Colonel Hawaii', now at Hounflow. Among military men, the palm is fuppofed to be equal between the 7th and the 14th Light Dragoons—the 7th is Lord PAGIT'S Regiment. The head-quartets of the Scots Greys is at York, but a confiderable detachment of this old and re , Downed Corps has lately marched to Beverley. the bead-quarters of the diftria, what General Vrsa commands. Lord BALCAItiIeS Regiment, the 63d, lately marched to Wicklow: it is fuppofed that this fine regiment will foots go on foreign fereice. Three battalions of the King's German Legion, amounting to upwards of anon men, have for a confidertble tittle been embarked at Cork for foreign fervice, but after various counter-orders, they Rill remain on bbard of fhip there. At one• time, they were deßined for Malta, at another for Gibraltar, and at another to reinforce Sir Jowls Mooa as's army in Sicily. The lira battalion of the Royal FUZIICCTS are daily expeEted from Bermuda, where they we►etotac time ago relieved by the 99th Regiment. The ► Q. or Royal Dragoons, at prefent in barracks near Edinburgh, and at Perth, will foon be fent to Ireland. It isnow underßood to be fettled that Lord Shave goes out as Governor General of India. and Mr. THOMAS Guam:A fucceeds him as Prefident of the Board of Controul. Lord LAVOIRDALI certainly fueeeeds the Duke of Gomm as Keeper of the Great Seal in Scotland, the ilated falary of which is 3ooel. a year.
