The British King was rapidly recov
ering his healths Mr. Pitt still contin
ued to direct the helm of Rate ; but it
was supposed would retire when the K.'s
health was re-established. The best En
glish politicians pronounce the affairs of
the nation to wear the most melancholy
afpe& ; and Peace was not expe&ed.—
Naval preparations were making with
spirit throughout the kingdom ; and the
price of bread was falling.
It has been ascertained that the fquad^
ron which escaped from Brest, has ar
rived at Toulon; having captured the
Success British frigate, of 32 guns, and
a cutter and firefhip.
An article in a London paper of the

been given an American yeffel at sea,
that the French government had issued
orders for fending into France, all neu

KINE-POX.
Extraa of a letter from Dr Letfome to Dr Waterboufe.
« I here fend some ftefh vaccine matter,
and (hall continue to fend it by every
opportunity, on thread, or lancets, or be
tween glass. By the fame opportunity
thou wilt receive some from Dr. Jenner
and Dr. Pearson. I shall continue to
transmit frcfh fluid frequently, being
truly anxious to promote a practice
which combines three important princi
ples: ift, It never kills; 2d, It entails
no foreign or constitutional disease; 3 d,
Itis not infectious.”*
CURIOSITY.
* The Editor noticed, as a valuable curiosity,
that the paper on which this letter was written,
was made of barley straw entirely ; it was a fine
straw colour, and of a very good quality indeed.
What in inestimable thing would this be to our
country, where the scarcity of rags is a serious
misfortune to our paper manufactories. Crati.

Grenville, a note, in which he acquainted
the British Ministers, that he had it in
command from the President of the U.
States, to declare that he had viewed
with serious concern, the frequent cap
tures of American property on the high
seas, by his Britannic Majesty's cruizers
and armed vessels, which have been con
firmed, particularly in the Weft Indies,
by condemnations entirely unwarranta
ble and unjust— contrary to theexifting
treaty, and to the common usage of all
civilized nations. After describing the
principles on which his Majesty's Justi
ces have a&ed in the Weftlndies, which
he collected from documents furnifhed
him and in his possession, he remonstrat
ed in the most severe manner against
such violent and unjust proceedings, dec
claring that should the government of
Great Britain continue to fandion such
unwarrantable depredations on the A
merican Commerce, his government
could no longer suppose that, that arnica
ble and good understanding which has
so happily subsisted between the two
countries, was the wi£h of the British go
vernment to preserve—-in short, he could
not but view those circumstances which
have taken place, as a declaration of hos
tilities against the American flag—the
honor of which he was called upon to
maintain. He expressed a sincere hope
that the British. government would do
away by a frank explanation, the unplea
sant sentiments and ideas, such disagree
able circumstances haj naturally occa
sioned—he hoped to find in such, profef
fions of amity, with assurances that a flop
should be put to such aggravations, the
justice of which, his Majesty's Ministry
must evidently diferiminate, in such e
vent the United States would find no im
pediment towards 'executing with fidelity
her engagements with the Court of St.
James.
" Lord Grenville, io a note addrefled to Mr.
King, acquainted him, he had loft no time in lay
ing before his M j^fty, the note he did him the
honor on the 2d Feb. to address to him, and had
it in command to return Mr. King an explicit de
claration, that nothing has been more remote
from his Majesty's most earnest with, than to in
terrupt the good understanding engaged between
the two countries—he intimated that the procee
dings in the Weft Indies complained of, has been
entirely without authority, and indeed contrary
to the careful policy ordered to be preferred in his
Majesty's Weft India colonies. He requeftedjtfr.
King to assure his government that a rigid en
quiry will be instituted after the aggravations
complained of, and that arrangements will be
made to prevent such like circumstances occuring
in future." Cer, good British Promijee.]

Yesterday arrived the ship Galen, Capt.
Hinckley, in 32 days from London. Pa
pers to March 7th, but we were disap
pointed in not receiving them in season
for this day's paper. -The inclofure con
tained the following minute: " I have,
as you requested, put you up a few pa

will learn something of the situation of
European politics, though at present they
are so perplexed as to baffle the conjec
tures of the ablest and most penetrating
observer."

Mr. Fox has said that all and even more
than the most gloomy and fertile imagi
nation had conceived, had been already
realized. It is evident that the King of
Prussia's last note had struck terror to
the heart of administration, and that Mr.
Pitt trembled at theprofpe& before him.
His Imperial Majesty continued in an
unsettled state of health.
