perfea success in the domehic e.
economy of houses or human ha
/bitaxions on shore. This is a no.
ble example set by the directors
of the American naval affairs to
all the maritime governments. It
is to be hoped they will soon adopt
it on board their ships, both in mi.
litary and commercial fervice,and
thereby extinguish pestilential va.

That Capt. M'Neil of the frigate Boston

The Fever a"~= Four deaths have 1
happened since ourlaft yesterday.
The board of health not feeling
lauthorifed to declare the city ex.
empt from malignant disease, have
discontinued the emission of bills
of health. BQ
AuguJl 4.—Our readers will
now be able to fay, upon what
grounds of propriety or impropri
ety we endeavored, a few days
since, to alarm the public mind to'
a sense of its danger, from the
malignant disease imported in the
St. Domingo Packet. For leve.
ral days the wind had been in one
direction, during which period
the disease had been confined to
the N. E. position in which it was
firft depofired. Within the last
four days the weather has altered,
and the disease has now made its
appearance in Cherry-street, and
in Second ftreer, downas low as
the neighborhood of draw bridge.
Since the sick were not removed,
the only alternative for the citi
zens is to remove themselves,
while they have health and life;
for there is little hqpe of any oth
er means that can be employed
being likely, to check the afflicting
scourge.—The people have con
tributed by their indifference to
their own afflictions. Reproach
has been the return for early ad
monition,& men ignorant ofevery
thing relating to disease, were:
found to have more weight, in
I dirking public opinion, than

TThe only power which can be locked
tip to by Europe asa standard at once to
rally round, and a butwalk to resist the
encroachments of France, isr-Eftgiaud."
But in a few lines further down we are
gravely informed, that this ibffof reli
ance is a mere broken reed—Hear him
again !
" The peace frhich hat put all the port#
from the Mediterranean to Holland into
the hands of th< French, has heftowed a
long with them the power of flopping the
importation of British merchandize. The
ships of England may thunder at their
ports and silence their batteries, but not
a bale of goods will find its,way beyond
the r^ach of their guns. Her commerce
will gradually be crippled, her manufac.
tures decay, and the very life and princi
ple of exigence of the British navy be
extinguished." = Again.---
" On the other hand, if the peace be
faithfully & ftrialy maintained, the nat
ural course of cause and tffeß must cease,
or England fink to the condition of a fu
bordioate Gate.”
It is not necessary to quote more from
Inch a tissue of contraction— as would
recommend a nation so incapable of wif
dpm—the author of all its own misfor
tunes and declension—that has by its in
trigues and corruption kept Europe in
wars of commercial monopoly since the
treat,of Westphalia in 1648—3 nation
which has never made an alliance that it
has not ruined the ally-=to repellent this
nation as the only power to rally round,
is the profundity of political empiricism.
