At that time our troops remained in that city, and had not been at tacked by the enemy. Our loss in the last engage. ment consisted of about 750 men, chilly of the 55th, and Rncts's Regiment. The wounded Officers were rapidly recovering--end some of those who had been made prisoners have, we under stand, been recovered and restored to the Army. We do not learn that any further Espeditien had 'wen undertaken against Rosetta. la the second t nion, which took place on the List of March, the troops were divided into three columns—one of them, we believe, was commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel MACLSOD, of the Nth. It was attacked by a ;417 body of Turkish cavalry and infantry, and • after three hours were fighting, was forced to give way.

Blair, see were in hopes had finally settled the ques tion, but on Thursday, July 9, it was again brought forward in 4 different way, and met with a strong opposition from Nlr. Gale J sues, and several other persons. but we were glad to find gentlemen resent, (and to whom the rinblic stand indebted), that were fully capable of oaths every thing asite a it had been advanced by these persons, and that only by stating faits. Dr. CHAMISERLAIN, in a very neat and appro priate speech, admitted, that many persons had re ceived the small-pox contagion, nay, that some had died, and, he doubted not, that many would hereafter die, who had been inoculated with cow pock matter; but he at the same terns was per feCtly convinced, that those evils were snlely attri butable to the ignorance of those persons periorm sag inoculation, in their either not knowing, or else not attending to the grand gold-n rule of D-. dewier, tt Never to inoculate with icher, after the areebs surrounding the pustule had ar lived at its full extent ;" that to this mistake, of taking matter when too late, or to the op-rator not having opportunities of seeing that the disease had gone through its proper stages, or to inserting mat ter, good when first taken, bin losing its efficacy by remaining too long on the lancet, and not to the dis ease itself, were those misfortunes attributable. That the diseases, termed by(the enemies of vaccination cow-pock itch, and cow-pock mange, resemSlir,t the itch, but obstinately resisting those rem-die which cure the real itch,were,with injustice, charged to vaccination, because this disease attacked many who had meet been inoculated for either cow-poc or small-pr.:: and was a accurately de scribed by DoCtor Willan, five years before ever ino culation for the cuw-pock had been promulgated In the world. That he had vaccinated more than three hundred individuals with his own hands, and he challenged any person to bring forward a si hgl case of his, that had either failed, or been succeeded either by small-pox, ulcerated arms, or any other disagreeable consequence. Doane. TaoRMITON also delivered a most animated speech, which :Vied like an elearic shock on the au dience, and was received with the loudest acclama tions of applause. One part of this famous ha rangue awaited particular notice : •• The small pox is a great evil ; it is rendered a still greater one by the praftice of inoculation. At the early intro dudion of inoculation, it was fondly 'vetted, that fewer deaths from the small-pox woul.l appear on the Bills of Mortality. fhe reverse was found to be the WI. Baron Dimsdale has noticed this very extraordinary circumstance before vaccination was in existence. Private individuals are, I confess, greatly advantaged, but the public are injured For, by inoculation, the small-pox is converted into a pestilence. It is made into a more formidable toe. More now die of the small-pox, than before i:s in undation. Even if there were no cow-pox disco vered, inoculation ought, therefore, to be abolished. Yet there are found men, who knowingly dissemi nate this horrid pestilence; which, in London alone, asineally Carries oft 2000 persons ; and, throughout England, 40,000 person. annually. Yes, there are men, so lost to patriotic virtue, to the stings of con science, as to keep on spreading the fire-brands of contagion. Yr., there are men now, who inoculate for the cow-pox and small-pox, whichever you please ! Than snalt do no murder, is a law not only written on the Jewish tablets, but deeply imprinted on the human heart. Every honest breast shudders at the thought of murder, and yet there are found men in this great town, who, knowingly and deli berately spread abroad this fatal pestilence. Ihe law toads it to be death, spreading abroad a pesti lence. The law says, •if a man having the plague in his house, shall quit it, thereby endangering the lives of his fellow-citizens, he shall suffer death.'— I speak it to your own understanding, is not the small-pox truly a pestilence ? it is so conceived by me, and called so by every medical writer. Are not the two eases then exactly apposite ? and shall the o.se be prohibited by death, and after the dis covery of the cow-pox the other be tolerated in a ci vilised nation ? Shall it be now suffered, that your wives, your children, and your friends, shall die, viCtims to the spreading of the small-pox by its ino culation, and the community lose its firmest support? Having, I hope, sufficiently proved the injuries sus tained by society horn the praaice of inoculation for the small-pox, let us now turn our thoughts to wards vaccination." The Learned Dodos., after many judicious observations on the cow-pox, and after declaring himself an advocate for the vatic*, from his own experience, then went on to state what had been done by it. He said—" In London the mortality was, on an average, annually, 2000 pet alms ; that in 1800 there died of the small-pox 2409 persons ; in 1801, only 1461 ; in 1302, 1 519 1 in 1905, only 1173 ; and in 1504, .there died only 586 persons ; a diminution that never was before known, and only to be ascribed to the pro gress of vaccination. The same experience arose from considering the Bills of Mortality in all the chief towns of England. in Leeds, the average amount of deaths from the small-pox, was 312 an nually ; in Ido4 it sunk to 62. At Vienna, the ge amount of deaths was 835 ; in 1802. dal deaths were only 61 ; is 1803, only 27 ; in 1804, 2. At Eueknow, in the East Indies, the amount of deaths, on an average, was 800; in three years after the introdudion of vaccination, the reduaion was 75. And this was the case as far as our infor mation reaches, in every great town throughout the world. From Marseilles, from Geneva, f (OM Paris, where a statue of brass it now being raised to Dr. Stoner, the small-pox is extirpated. The natives of India say, m we have no longer snits, the small pox." Dr. Thornton then took a long survey of the opposition to this saving predict in both France and England. lie related many falsehoods that had been published against the :ow-pox. He politely declare!. revolting his opponents—" I do not ac cuse them of being liars, that would be ungentle man-like ; but I do assert, they have, in almost every instance, been misinformed, a.id have thus become the vehicle of false informatics to the psb. lice" He MIAMI . man+ isaaa • • • -44 these men to answer for to thee coup' y, and to Cod! i ti•w many lives have they not lost to the community, trod their relatives?

In the storm of thunder and lightning on Sunday night, the house of Mr. Dadd, of kt,inturn, w as struck by a flash, which did considerable damage ; it shivered the door posts of the chamber in which Mr. Dodd was -leeping, and scorched the win. dow frames, the dairy windows were sbat.ereJ, and the plastering. both of the inner and out 1. parts of the house. was in many places peeled tom the lath., and scattered about; nearly at the same time the premises of J. Peake, Esq at Upchurch, were da maged. The thunder was uncommonly loud and awful, and the lightning extremely vivid ; the horses of the mail coach, which stopped at R tin ham about twelve o'clock, were with difficulty kept, quiet, while the passengers alighted to take some refreshment. The lightning began about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, in nearly a Southern diretlion, and went off to the East, in which quarter it ap peared to terminate on Monday morning.
