TO prove the KINE-POX an effectual and fare
preventive of the SMALL-POX, either by in-,
oculaion, or casual intention, the following ex
periment was instituted in this town.
~ ON the 3d and 4th inlt. Mr. Silas Holman, mer
chant, on the P^r, Henry and Eliphalet Ladd, fans
ofCol. Ladd; and fohn Gilman, son J. W. Gil
man, Esq. of Exeter, were inoculated for the
Small-Pox, at hospital island in this harbour, after
having had the Kine Pox. The infection was
taken directly from a man laboring under the
Small Pox the natural way, very severely. The
more Effectually to prove the preventive powers
of the kine-pox, these young gentlemen were re
peatedly inoculated, and kept constantly in the
house with the tick man and a young girl who
had the small pox by inoculation, betides Spend
ing much time in their rooms for ten days, and
greatly to their honor, exposed themselves as
much as possible to the various effluvia, being anx
ious to make the experiment farisfaftory.
Ou the second anu third davs after inoculation,
the punctured points appeared inflamed and shew
ed signs of infection. We did not helitate to fay
the Small-pox virus had taken effect ; and if the
young gentlemen had not previously had the Kine
pox, we should have pronounced their inoculation
with the finall-ppx effectual ; so exactly did this
appearance correspond with that of the common-,
ly inoculated Imall-pox.
This was an important moment, we had our
fears, which a few days dissipated, and gladdened
our hearts with joy. —for by the Seventh day the
inflamatiou had abated, and a scab formed over
the puncture, which appeared so totally different
from the effectually inoculated Small-pox, that
we were confident of a happy escape from this
terrible disease.,
Although the arms bad at one time the appear
ance of effectual'inoculation, yet the patients were
not attacked by any ot the well known symptoms
of the small-pox, but remained perfectly free ot
complaint.•
We were not contented with all this proof,
but determined to keep them at the hospital, in
the midSt of the various effluvia, so long as to
render it irnpoffible lor them to escape the final!,
pox, ifit cottlfi take any effeft upon them either
by casual iftteCtion or inoculation. For this pur
,pofe we kepi them in the hospital till the tenth
day, without their having any symptoms or ap
pearances of the fmall.pox, and even now, the
fifteenth day after inoculation, they remain free
of complaint.
This-we hold ample proof that the KINE-POX
is a here and effectual preventive of the 3MALL
fQX either by inoculation or casual infection.

Late from Lisbon.
"A gentleman who arrived here yesterday in
tlie ship Hare, in 31 days from Lisbon, informs,
that, on their failing, it was reported, that the
French, who Were within 15 leagues, were to en
ter that place on the iithof July, agreeable to
treaty.—He also adds, that a house had been pre
pared for the deception of Lucien Buonaparte.—
That in consequence of an order from the Eng
lish Consul at Lisbon, polled up in the coffee-houfe,
all the Englilh merchants who wished to get off
with their property, were requeued to be ready
to fail with the convoy for England, on the 9th
July; the day after the Hare failed®—That bn th.e
Saturday previous to the Hare's failing, the Prin
cess of Portugal was fafelydelivered of a daugh
ter ; in consequence of wnich, illuminations for
three fucceflive nights, took place, though they
were not,general, on account of the confusion oc
casioned by the approach of the French troops.
Our informant further adds, that just before the
Hare failed, a number of Brazil merchant ships
arrived at Lisbon, all armed with 30 or 32 guns.
Just before the Hare failed, an Algerine vessel
"arrivedat Lisbon from C braltar, bringing a re
port, that the Englilh had been completely defeat,

AN EXPERLMENT.
«s>'•
Ithe Mediterranean, inftcuftions 'wd been ifTued to
the British commanders, of polls and Slips of war
in that quarter, to treat the American flag with
refpeft, and that if the American vessels Should at
any time need supplies they Should be furnished
from the British jlores and arfenals. j
Q>-
COMMUNICATION.
From the general and prevailing temper thro'-
out the United States, it is evident, that the cit
izens at large, are perfectly pleased with the mea
sures of Mr. Jefferson. That rancor of spirit
which prevailed during the late adminiftrtion, has
subsided :— That intolerent disposition has ceased
which neat ly threw the people into a civil war :
—Citizens treat each other with more civility
than when the Sedition Law was in operation.
But amidstthis general harmony there is a FAQ
TIDN-in existence, who are determined to marr
the public happiness; and for no other reafoq,
than because fhey and their friends cannot hold all
the lucrative offices. To gratify their resent
ment, they vent their spleen of anger against the
Proficient ; abuse every man.who will ' not join in
calumniating the Government. This Faction is
composed of about twenty men in BoJlon, and a
proportionate number Scattered through the fea
poris and inrand towns. The vehicles of their
disorganizing fyflem are a few tory papers, sup.
ported by a Junto of mifereahts, who have here
tofore been emphatically designated -" a small
party." ,This caballing group, affixed by a few
high flying clergymen, who publish every kind of
defamation, and pretend to cloak their infamous
designs, under the maik of Religion. The Re
publican citizens are now convinced of the wick
edness of this defperlte faction, and are determin
ed one and all, to fnpport President JEFFER
SON, against the treajonable practices of this
ARiSTOCRATiCAL and ecclesiastical junto.

A few ^ueflions to whom it may concern.
IF two Republicans were dismissed from office
by president Adams, the enquiry is, how many
were left in office after this difiniflal ? and whe
ther lie thought himfelf secure while two risen in
office w@re opposed to him?
Another question is, If President Adams found
it necessary to dismiss even two men, whom he
thought were not friendly to his measure (when
he had filch a large proportion of officers in his
favor) how much more necessary is it soy Mr. Jef
ferion to dismiss fifty or even an hundred in order
to give him an equal proportion of friends with
Mr. Adams?
if Mr. Adams filled up the whole Judiciary
Department with those who were confidcred as
opposed to Mr. Jefferfon, and over whom he had
no controul, can he be censured for attempting to
refiore an equilibriums in such departments as it
is in his power to fill ?
Opposition to the Executive measures of Gov
ernment has heretofore been the Federal definition
of Anti Federalism. Pray what is it now ?
The epithet Jacobin, from its firtt importation
into this country, has been employed to call an
odium on those who diJapproved of the measures
of the exiting administration. Who^re Jacobins
now? [Chron.
-<-<4,>*>“
The federalifts make it a virtue now to op
pole the Constituted Authorities ; and some of
them boast of the honor of being dismissed from
office under the-present administration—But it is a
Similar kind of honor to that of which the BLAGK
angel might have boasted, when he was hurled
headlong from Paradise—and we find a good re
semblance between them—He " grinned horribly
A ghastly smile;" and the federal Outs Show their
tfeih. ^ff.-&&1 Guz- —.
Tire godet federalifts may fay any thing—since
the Seed of ttf woman has emphatically bruised
the serpent's head; and it will ere long be unne
ceflary to answer those fools according to their
folly—they have let themselves up as exclusive
“ friends of order, government and religion,"
they have affected much fan'ttity and great good
ness! but alas! they are like 'all other hypocrites ;
their own works prove them perverse ! ib.
Charles Cotfworth Pinckney, was toasted on the
4th ult. at Juunllo,wn, as having refufed the over
tures of the democrats of South-Carolina, to vote
for him as President of the U.'States. This fede
ral lie has been long Since refuted ; but dill the
federal editors persist in afferfing it. .We assert,
on the authority of a letter fronf one of the Elec
tors of South-Carolina, that so far from having
disgraced themselves and their cause by any such
proposition to Pinckney, the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, to the number of Sixty
nine, came under a solemn obligation to each 0-
ther, before the choice of Electors ^f made, not
to listen to any overture from, nor tp make an)
to the federal friends of Pinckney—and to this
they religiously adhered. Albi Reg.
