The celebrated Dr. Carbo, op
'after many trials, has lately discovered
that the dried scab of the Ktne-Pox will,
for several years, retain sufficient of the
virus to reproduce the genuine disease.
Thio important discovery was made in this
country some years since by Mr. Fan sher,
who has long been indefatigable in his exer
tions to collect inform.Vtion respecting this
eafe and sure preventative against the
Small-Pox. Mr. Fan suer has ascertain
td, alter repeated tr'uls for that purpose,
that if the Jluid, contained in the vesicle,
became purulent previously to the forma
tion of the scab, that such scab uniformly
failed to reproduce the genuine disease;
but if the scab was formed from the Jluid
of the vesicle, while it was transparent and
limpid, such scab seldom failed to repro
duce the genuine disease. He also ascer
tained from these trials, that not more
than one subject in ten, under the most fa
vourable circumstances, and generally not
more than one in twenty, produced what
may, not improperly, be termed the genu
ine scab, and that it requires much expe
rience to distinguish this, even in the best
light,, from that which will produce only
the spurious will, therefore, be
highly improper Mflfell as dangerous for
any, except thosqgßlb have had much ex
perience, to attempt tfrwgpcinate with the
scab. To obviate this difficulty and dan
ger of vaccinating with the scab, which is
so often found to be spurious, Mr. Fan
srer punctures the vesicle, while the
Jluid is tranajtarent and limpid, and before
it become' it) any degree purulent — the
fluid then gently oozes out and soon dries,
or as he terms it, becomes cryatalized, and
in this state, if kept from the air, will in
any climate retain, for years, sufficient of
the vaccine virus to reproduce the genuine
disease, and may be transported to any dis
tant country uninjured. Thia method of
preserving the vaccine virus is by far the
most preferable of any yet discovered, and
when this preparation of the fluid can be
obtained the scab ought never to be used.
On Monday next the Legislature of this
State will convene in this town. While we
rejoice that the last election terminated so
favourable to the cause of federalism, and
that one branch of that body has a federal
majority, we cannot but express an anx
ious wish that every federal member will
punctually attend on the first day of the
session. There are many important con
siderations which should influence them to
discharge this part of their duty. A Speak
er and Clerk are to be chosen, and every
infamous attempt will be made by the de
mocrats to elect these officers from their
numlter. We understand that the election
of the members from the town of Little-
Compton will be contested. If report speaks
true, w'e confidently expect the Wil
hour candidates will be rejected. Should
this be the case, the federal majority in
the House will be increased to eight. Eve
ry thing, however, will depend upon the
punctuality and patriotick firmness of the
federal members. Our enemies are at
*prk. .They- have already Sent handbills
and circulars through the country towns,
this measure was undoubtedly resorted to
as preparatory to the contesting of the elec
tion of Representatives to Congress. This
is their object, and the means employed to
effect it will be the security and supineness
of the federalists. If they succeed io elect
ing a committee from their number to
count the votes, New Hampshire will not
be alone in the practice of fraud and vil
lany. That which a democratick Govern
our and Council effected by a rejection
of votes in that State, will r.ot be thought
too base, nor too low for a democratick
" Wildboar" or jacobinical committee to
attempt in this. Let this be a sufficient ex
citement for every patriotick federal mem
ber to repair to his fioot early on Monday
next. •
FIRE!
On the evening nf Tuesday last, at about
ten o'clock, the inhabitants of this town
were alarmed by the cry of fire, which was
found to proceed from the work-shop of
Messrs. Earle & Branch. Before any
exertions could be made to extinguish it,
the fire had consumed a considerable part
of .one end of the building, and pervaded
the whole of the roof. The adjoined build
ings seemed threatened with certain de
struction. The stillness of the«<vening,
however, favouring the exertions of the
citizens, the fire was prevented from com
municating with any other building, and
Whs finally subdued, bu| 'with considerable
loss to (he building in which it originated.

Robert Anderson, shoemaker, a native of
Ulverstone, came from Carlisle to Locker
by, about five o’clock on Saturday evening,
and sent for his wife, a native of Lockerby,
to an inn. He married her some time last
spring. They lived together at Colin, near
Dumfries, till July, when be imprudently
went off to England with a married woman,
a neighbour’s wife, and left his own. She,
highly enraged at his former conduct said
to him, when she saw him, “How have
you the assurance to come where I am ?”
He replied, •• that he was come to die be
side her, and that he would die early to
morrow morning, for his heart was broken.”
When she of the ether woman to
him, he said he was wounded with the re
morse of conscience, and that the recollec
tion of her name went to Ms heart like a
knife. He told the landlord to send for his
wife a second time, for he should not be
able to speak any after nine o’clock.—
Whilst casting off his clothes, he said,
Mr Lord—l have the honour to state to
your Lordship that I have received from
General Armstrong, Minister Plenipoten
tiary of the United States at Paris, a let

he informs me that the government of
France has revoked the decrees of Berlin
and Milan, and that he has received a
written and official notice of that fact, in
the following words;— "Je suis autorise a

de Berlin et de Milan aont revoquee, et qu
a dater du ier Novembre ila ceaaeront

I take for granted that the revocation
of the British Orders in Council of January
and November, 1807, and April, 1809, and
of all other Orders dependent upon, analo
gous to, or in execution of them, will follow'
of course ; and I shall hope to be enabled

possible, to announce Jo .nay .government
that such revocation has taken place;

that; whenever the repeal oT the French
decrees shall have actually taken effect,
and the commerce of neutral nations shall

SUDDEN DEATH.
' In this town, on Wednesday,Charles,
son of Mr* Edward Haskell, aged two years
and seven months. The death of this un
fortunate child was occasioned by a wound
received from the kick of a horse, on Satur
day last. It is hoped that the circumstances
attending this child’s death, will evince the
necessity of not permitting horses to go
loose in the Streets where there are so ma
ny small children exposed to be injured by
them. The funeral will be solemnized at
3 o’clock this afternoon from his father’s
house, in Weybosset-Street.
At St. Croix, on the 31st of May last,
Mr. Henry RicE, of East-Greenwich,
Mate of the brig Hunter, of this place.
The ship Benjamin, from Liverpool for
New-York, on the passage, sth September,
was boarded from a French 12 gun brig,
which finding her laden with salt, coals,
&c. and leaky, and seeing an English ship
two miles to leeward which Monsieur
Crapaud thought would be a bon prise,
left her, only stealing a watch and a few
cabin stores. The Englishman proved a
War tar } and after a few broadsides the
Frenchman made off. She had captured
several vessels; one of them the brig Union,
of Nantucket, with Oil, for London, the
captain of which, (Stubs,) and crew were
on board the privateer.

w These ahull never go on again." The
landlord observed, “ I hope you are not
gdng to take away your life.* He replied,
“ God forbid ! I have no such intention.”
About nine o’clock at night he took a fit,
and continued in it till nearly five next
morning, when he expired. He had eat
nothing for three days except ths half of a
penny loaf, though he had money enough
upon him. The surgeons said they saw
no appearance of his having taken poison,
or any thing whatever to hasten his death.
About half past ten, last night, as the
Ranger, a whaler, Captain Whithers, be
longing to Bennet, of Blackheath, was
coming round the North Foreland, on her
way to the Downs, she was hailed by a
large lugger, and asked if she wanted a
pilot. Captain Whithers, suspecting she
was a French privateer, desired her to
keep off;. but she ran along side, and
boarded with’ about twenty men. The
crew of the whaler, thus taken by
had no time for preparation, but flew to
the handspikes, which lay forward; by
this time the Frenchmen had got comp! Ao
possession of the quarter deck. Captain
Whithers, who had but one arm, with his
brave crew, (only 16 in number,) engaged
the Frenchmen, and literally beat out their
brains, or drove them overboard. The
lugger again boarded with as many more,
and met the same reception, the whole be
ing either killed or woundld, with the ex
ception of four, now oi« board the whaler,
prisoners; one of them an Irishman, (a
Lieutenant on board the lugger,) one an
American, and the other two Frenchmen,
all having their sculls fractured, and their
faces in a shocking state; The lugger was
r.ot long out of Calais, had made no cap
ture, pierced for 18 guns, but had only 14
on board, with 82 men, she sheered off;
and as she was going off the whaler fired
at her, and shot away one of her masts,
but she escaped. Not one of the
crew was hurt, though fired at repeatedly
by the lugger, as well as the boarders. I
was with a gentleman who is just come on
shore from the Ranger; he says the decks
are covered 1 with blood and brains ; he
saw two Frenchmen hove overboard, who
died of their wounds.
