j WORCESTER, March 38. (
SPOTTED FEFER. 1
On Monday the 12th inst. we had a fall ]
of snow nf about 16 inches deep on a level. ,
This incident appeared to operate to the i
disadvantage, of those towns which are ]
■ffiicud with the fever. The disorder (
spread rapidly; but its virulence seemed (
to abate in proportion as the weather mo
dented. We hope the fall of snow, on ,
Mmday last of about 6 inches on a level, ,
wtl not produce any hurtful consequences.
The information wg have received respect- j
itg the present state of the epidemick is as
follows;
\ Dana and Petersham, are entirely free
from the disorder.
/ At Berre, from 100 to 120 eases have
occurred, 11 of which have proved fatal.-
Tt has nearly discontinued its j-avagea. ■■■
Only 1 new cases since Saturday.
At Leicester, 8 or 10 cases, 4or Jof
which are thought to toe dangesons.
, 'At Paxton, 6or 8 cases, Jor4 of which
are dangerous .
At Sturbridge, sevaml cases hart ap
peared, 3of which proved mortal.
At Shrewsbury, Winchendon, Gerry,
Royalston, Templeton, Athol, Charlton,
Mendon, Westborough, Ice. the disorder
* has made its appearance, but we have not
beard of any dangerous cases.
At Brookfield, there are 15 cases.
’ 2O, not any of them dan
gerous. ’
At Oakham, 1 new case has occurred
since our last; 8 have died.
AtNew-Braintree, about 27 cases have
appeared; one person has died, and the
others are convalescent.
, In this town, on Saturday evening, one
case appeared; but immediate medical
aid was obtained, and the mode of treat
ment adopted, has operated most favoura
bly, so that the patient is out of danger.

/MPORTA.NT IJVTELLIGEJFCE.
The following information from London,
to a gentleman of this town, is handed us
by xme, who is incapable of knowingly
abusing the publick confidence for a single
moment. It is unquestionably derived from
ax authentick source; and our readers,
we think, may perfectly rely on its truth.
“ In a formal communication from Lord
Wellesley to Mr. Pinkney, the conduct of
* ' our Executive, and the proceedings of Con
grew, subsequent to' the late negotiations,
are most unequivocal man
ner. v
' “ It is asserted by the British Cabinet,
that Mr. Jackton had behaved only as his
duty required; that the charge against him
is absolutely groundless; and that he, as
well as his King and Country, are treated
with an unprecedented rudeness and gross
ness by the United States.
•‘Lord Wellesley, beginning with the
offer to renew Mr. Jay’s treaty, recites a
V series of acts, proving the sincere and uni
form desire of Great-Britain to meet the
United States on fair and friendly condi
tions, all which have been met with a con
trary spirit by the government of the Uni
ted States ; and, he says, that now it is the
* belief of the British Cabinet, that every
» „ overture at conciliation, on their part,
must be unavailing, because dur govern
ment is resolved that no adjustment of dif
ferences shall be made ; and he adds, that
, although they are disposed to receive pro
positions from ms, yet it cannot be con
cealed, that none can at present be ex
'J petted-

that it is Necessary to request Don Luis de

United States, their armaments, and other
measures they may now or hereafter adopt
in regard to Spain. Your Excellency may
accordingly communicate this resolution to
Don Luis de Onls, tlyt he may make the
necessary use thereof whenever he thinks
proper; and also to the commandant of the
frontier provinces, that he may be guided
thereby, in the several districts under his
command.
“The Viceroy has also given order* to
the treasury to accept and pay all bills
drawn by Don Luis dr Onia for objects con
nected with his mission.”

JMPO/fTWAT, IF TRUE.
A letter has been received from Phila
delphia, this morning, stating.
That a vessel had arrived there in a
short paxsage from Antigua, bringing Lon
don dates to the 19th of January— .
That the London papers announce that
Mr. Pinkney had had several interviews
with the Marquis Wellesley—and.
That they had finally agreed upon the
preliminaries of a commercial treaty be
tween tl|e two countries. (
. "Lord Wellesky.tv* this occasion to
remark, that the British government are
folly sensible of the great part that is as
signed thetp to act ix the pswaept eventful
period of tbe world j end to .declare, ax
pl WUy, that all tbe means which God has
graciously given them, shall be used, so far
as to necessary, to resist the establishment
of a Despotism, which would be more ter
rible than any yet known in the history of
nations.”
As there is no doubt, that a note of which
the foregoing is the substance, was deliver
ed to Mr. Pinkney, on or about the 18th of
January, so it may be fairly presumed, that
our government are in possession of it, or,
at least, know perfectly well its tenour and
import.
Captain Mitchell, here yester
day, 41 days from St. Jagode Cuba, in
forms, that on leaving port he was board
ed from two British brigs,of war, and treat
ed with great politeness: They were in
pursuit of the French privateer Superiour,
which was cruising in tbe windward pas
sages. Captain Mitchell adds, that he has
had evidence from seamen who witnessed
the barbarous transactions, that the French
privateer Superiour had not only r lux-
D|.agn but BURNT several American
vessels'!
The late London papers contain the sub
stance of an Order said to have been issued
by Bonaparte early in January, permitting
the importation a 4 exportation, under
“ PROPER LICENSES,” of certain enu
merated articles. Though by many this is
Sdered as a relaxation of his Decrees. I
ist be recollected that they are still in I
in their moat atrocious points. It will
be found too, that very few of the. staple
commodities of the United States are ad- I
mittvd, and none of the produce which has
made our “ Carrying trade” so profitable-
It benefits Russia in some degree ; enables
England amply to supply herself with bread
corn; and It shows that the decrees of
Napoleon are not now like the laws of the
Medes and Persians. His mad scheme to
annihilate commerce has produced such
discontent among even hjfiwretched vas
sals, that obstinate as is Ma will, and des
potick as is his power, he has been con
strained to reinstate in his favour the crafty
Talleyrand; who lost his master’s favour,
fora season, by opposing his anti-commercial
madness, and his treachery towards Spain.
To the complaints of the Dutch and French
merchants he has been compelled to yield
a reluctant regard; and this too at a mo
ment when the rigorous execution of his
decrees was attempted throughout the
whole extent of his sway from Naples to
Denmark. But though he seems to have
relaxed; his false pride, like that of our
BmlAvgoraMSM Washington, wiH not suf
fer him to abolish hto ruinous decrees; and
consult like a true Statesman the oolid in
terest ot hto people. Our commerce
haters instead of imputing the late changes
in his system, to that necessity by which
even Despots are controled, will doubtless
see in them strong proofs of Napoleon’s
love for American ships and commerce.—
But the impartial observer, the steady
friends of peace, commerce and prosperi
ty-such men as compose the present
councils of Massachusetts—cannot be thus
gulled. They will see in the policy of Bo
naparte no other object than his own con
venience, and a total disregard of the prin
ciples of justice and good faith ; on which
alone rest the grandeur of nations, or the
merivof individuals. As the true friends
of commerce the Federal Americans ought
to receive an additional stimulus from the
premises, to support the re-election of
men who have been always actuated by
the unerring rule of right; who sincerely
believe that Righteousness exalte th a na
tion; but that a crooked, partial policy
will be the reproach of ahy people.
*We beg leave to tender the homage of
our high respect to the worthy, enlighten
ed and patriotick democrats now asaem
bled in Congress for the wonderful celeri
ty and promptitude with which they de
spatch publick business previous to elec-.
tion. From some cause or other, involved
in the other high mysteries of the Cabi
net, little or nothing is done until election
advances. The moment, this auspicious
period comes round, then all is bustle and
life, and activity and despatch. Bonaparte
on the one side, «yid the Minister of Great -
Britain on the other, both equally interest
ed in the event of our election, and both
equally desirous that the democrats should
maintain their present ascendancy in our
national and state Legislatures, (if the de
mocrats may be belteved,) both proffer the
most flattering terms of alliance, both
make the most liberal proffers of indemni
ty for thevpaet, and both tender terms of
adequate security ageing future aggres
sions. In short, if our democrats speak
true, these two haughty powers are at
tempting to outrival each other in acts of
courtesy and kindness tons. In this Aatter
ing st Me of thinp, while the political ocean
Is so Mnooth, and the vessel of State glides
so cheerily on her course, how ungrateful
.most we be to withdraw our confidence
from such skilful mariners, and presume

some unaccountable fatality, our great po

vate ones. One half of this promptitude,
patriotism and despatch, manifested not m
the columns of democratick newspapers
but in the journals of Congress, wouklhave
long since relieved ths nation from all its
embarrassments, both foreign and domes

ories the journals of Congrttsa afford ny
such evidence, and our democratick Edi-,

supply the deficiency by round assertions
of their own. Our officiaFtoatriots know

A man who once had a cheat of solid
gold in his possession, was continually in
the habit of boasting of its value in what
ever company he frequented. Day fifter
day, and year after year, hie took ho pre
caution whatever to secure it, although hi.-,
friendsand hto neighbours were perpetual
ly warning him tohave his doorswell lock
ed and barred, and to keep the key in his
pocket. He pursued this.line of policy so
long that he eventually lost It, and his only
consolation was, that by his ordinary care,
I industry and circumspection, he might have
preserved it longer. Citisens
