JOHN YATES.
PARIS, July 12.
Letter from the Minister of Foreign Relations, to Mr. Gerry, Envoy from the United States, enclosing him his passport.
As long, Sir, as I had room to flatter myself that I might fulfil the wishes of the executive directory, by endeavouring in concert with you to re-establish the former good understanding between the French Republic and the United States, I exerted my best efforts both in my conferences and in my correspondence with you, to facilitate the means to establish the basis, to enter on the business, and to convince you of the utility with which your presence at Paris must be attended. It was in your character of envoy from the American government that I received you, and that I wrote to you; it depended upon yourself to be publicly received, and admitted by the executive directory. Without coinciding in opinion with you, that any changes have been induced by the departure of messrs. Pinckney and Marshall in the full powers in which I read that you were authorized to treat separately, it appeared to me that in the very hypothesis in which you placed yourself, you ought to refer the question to your government, and in the interval to fix with me in a calm and friendly discussion upon all the disputable points on which we differed. This way of proceeding was the more natural, because without attending to the premature information which your government has obtained of the offer to treat with you after the departure of your colleagues, my note of the 21st Ventose, March 13, which must have reached Philadelphia towards the end of Floreal, left not a shadow of doubt on this subject—It contains three objects perfectly distinct—It begins by rectifying with the dignity that belongs to the French government, the statement of grievances made by the United States and drawn
out by their envoys in the inverted order of facts the preceding 28th Ventose, January 17, it next points out the motives that prevented the negotiation being carried on with the envoys collectively. It finally declares, in the most solemn manner, conciliatory dispositions of the executive directory, and its formal desire of reuniting, between the two countries, the ties of their ancient amity, and the intention of treating with you. Such an explicit declaration could not have been made but with the view of furnishing the president of the United States with infallible means of coming to an accommodation. It was throwing down a pledge of peace in order that it might be taken up. I presumed to think that you could not be long without receiving analogous instructions, and even other powers, were they necessary: or, at least, that if you had announced to the president a desire of returning to America, some other envoy would come and accomplish the happy task which we should have had the satisfaction of preparing. To hope, thus solidly founded, there were added some observations on the inconveniences that attended your departure. I gave you to understand that notwithstanding your assurances to me, no one would believe that it proceeded solely from your own inclination, from a thorough conviction of the invalidity of your powers, or from a desire of seeing the business of the negotiation entrusted to other hands. I observed to you on the conjectures to which it would give rise; on the means it would furnish to the British cabinet, that spares no pains in its endeavours to drive France and the United States to extremities, from which it alone would derive advantages; & even on the very suspicions that it must call up in the mind of the French government. I endeavoured to make you see into its possible consequences; but a variety of circumstances occurred, which have already retarded the reconciliation of the two republics; it is but natural for him who feels a sincere solicitude for peace, to be under apprehensions lest new obstacles should arise to retard it. These considerations which I shall ever recollect with pride, induced me to oppose the desire which you had expressed of quitting France. But you peremptorily insisted upon it in your letter of the 23rd inst.
The directory has consequently authorized me to furnish you with the passports which you have requested for yourself and for the vessel that awaits you at Havre. You have them enclosed. May your return to the United States and the communication of what has passed between us, since you only have represented your government, remove the injurious opinion of hostile intentions on the part of France! you have frequently assured me, that, if you could not treat here as envoy, your good offices should not be wanting as a citizen on your return to the United States. It were impossible for you to render a more signal service to the two countries than by contributing to make their political and commercial relations accord with their inclination and their interest. Assure your government that the executive directory perseveres in the intention of loyalty and sincerity endeavouring to reconcile the differences that have arisen between the French republic and the United States, as soon as an opportunity of so doing shall be sincerely held out. If it be really true that the disposition of your government are prepared to co-operate, let them but give a proof of it and you beforehand may answer for its success.
You cannot dissemble, Sir, that if
nothing had prevented you from following up with me the examination and the redressing of the grievances which divide the two countries, we should not long stand in need of anything but our respective ratifications. Who can entertain a doubt of the sincerity of the French government, when it shall be known that for nearly three months every specific solicitation came from me, and that in faithful compliance with the engagements I contracted in my note of the 28th Ventose, (March 18,) was the first seriously to press forward the business of the negotiation after the departure of Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall? It will not I trust, be said, that a refusal to treat with them argued an unwillingness to come to a conciliation, whereas that refusal was accompanied with a promise to treat with you, and your full powers represented you as a person who was authorized to treat separately. To that document shall I incessantly appeal because it is the basis of the opinion which your government ought to have formed, and that even by admitting you were tied down by secret restrictions, I could not in my mind suppose what I do not know from the truth due to your ostensible authority.
Yes, Sir, when scarcely acquainted with the departure of messrs. Pinckney and Marshall, I made it a point in every conference which I held with you from the moment, to evince to you the urgency, the propriety and the possibility of an active negotiation. I labored to reconcile them, and I was about to transmit proposals to you, when a packet from our government arrived at Havre. You then seemed preparing to depart. Till then I never had imagined that you conceived the design of embarking till we had come to an agreement upon the definitive articles to be ratified by your government. A few days after I received some dispatches from Philadelphia, which for a moment gave a new turn to my correspondence with you. Upon the 22nd Prairial, June 10, I notified to you that the dispositions of the executive Directory were the same, and I requested you to inform me whether you were in a situation to negotiate? Upon the 30th Prairial, June 18, I transmitted you a complete plan of negotiation. Upon the 9th Messidor, June 27, I sent you my full note for discussion upon one of the points of our treaties which are not put in execution in the United States. You declined to make any reply to it. It is necessary, however, to be agreed upon the details of a subject, in order to arrive at any conclusion. Upon the 18th Messidor, July 6, I sent you two other notes. In vain I accompanied these papers with the most cordial invitation rapidly to run over this series of indispensable discussions upon all our grounds of complaint. You never even gave me an opportunity to prove to you with how much liberality the Directory were disposed to act in this matter. You continued only to write for your permission to depart—Yet it is the French Republic on which the blame is laid in the United States, of being averse to peace! Perfidious instigators will insinuate that it has always been averse to it. I shall go back, therefore, to the first period, when symptoms of discontent manifested themselves, that is to say, on the arrival of the minister Genet at Philadelphia, in Prairial, first year. A universal joy appeared at the declarations which he was authorized to make. He then expressed the amicable and generous expression of the French government, which, powerful in the national energy, abstained from reclaiming the aid of its allies. In a short time some of its proceedings gave umbrage: they

were the effect of a zeal ill adapted to circumstances, and unfortunately still worse interpreted. The President made his complaints in France at the end of the same year. The committee of public safety gave immediate satisfaction; and other agents arrived at Philadelphia in the beginning of Ventose, year 2. Their instructions will bear the utmost publicity. Not to interfere in any party affairs; to respect the government; to prompt it to maintain its neutrality with vigor; to repress all armaments which might endanger it; to maintain the rights secured to France by treaties. Such is the subject of these instructions; such, further, were the instructions given to the minister Adet, who succeeded these agents in the year 3. Surely nothing can be more pacific. Nevertheless, the rights of France are insensibly affected; the most important clauses of her treaties are rendered insignificant. Her ships experience the most discouraging vexations; England sports with impunity with the neutrality of the United States, which becomes a source of great loss to France, which placed too much confidence in it. A transaction clandestinely negotiated, concludes with establishing to the disadvantage of a power at amity with the United States, the pretensions of its most implacable enemy—From that time forward there has been nothing between the American government which the representations embarrass, and the minister plenipotentiary of the French republic who were bound to make them, but a correspondence which has gradually risen in point of asperity. The French government has never interfered. It has rested in the hope that the true interest of the United States would lead them to discover that Britain was drawing them into her vortex. Far from assuming a hostile attitude, it affected indifference, in order to be patient consistently with dignity. The number of complaints which were presented compelled it at length to act in a different manner. On the 25th Brumaire, November 5, year 5, a declaration was made of the grounds of complaint, and in order to bring about a negotiation, too long deferred, it draws from the treaties of Paris and London the arguments best calculated to accelerate it. It was animated by no hostile view; no disposition towards aggression. In order to obtain justice from the United States it places them in a situation to be the first to call for an arrangement.
Let us see whether it has rejected any honorable proposal.
Mr. Pinckney had set out before the declaration of the 25th Brumaire, which suspended the accustomed relations. He came to replace M. Monroe, and like him to explain and palliate the conduct of the United States, without any special powers respecting the negotiation desired of France. He could not be received not being in a situation to perform the conditions under a resumption of political connection. The President of the United States thought it his duty to call an extraordinary meeting of the legislative body. I shall not review his opening speech, nor the turns which the debates took in the course of the session. I shall only say the impression they made at Paris was unfavorable previous to the arrival of the Envoys; that this circumstance alone has raised an obstacle which ought to have been foreseen at Philadelphia, that the Envoys themselves, unwilling to observe the natural effect of such provocation, contributed to render its effects more durable. It, however, was finally made to yield to the primitive desire of a sincere reconciliation. A proof of this you see in the excellent suggested of treating with you separately, for a government hostilely disposed would not have yielded to that delicate bias, which preserves honor, yet gives effect to pacific intentions. You have given me to understand, Sir, that it would have been proper for the Executive Directory to have backed the declarations I have made in their name by a change in the measures which affect the commerce of the United States. I can answer to you that our government had sufficiently ascertained its object, in conforming from the beginning, to the French republic, the rights which flow from its treaties; but let us be less exacting, and more equitable, one toward another. Though the measures taken by France are only the consequence of those adopted by the United States, you must have remarked, in my propositions of
the 30th Prairial, June 18, that the intervention of the executive directory is, that their respective pretensions should be examined and regulated collaterally. It intends to mark, in one act, a durable monument of the future friendship of the two republics—the justice which they owe to each other; and every idea of false glory is distant from its mind.
In taking leave of you Sir, I have thought it my duty to give this testimony of my esteem—it is manifested in the unrestrained confidence with which I addressed you, and in the regrets which I feel from your departure in the existing circumstances.

P. S. 25th Messidor, [July 13.]—A circumstance of infinite importance, has retarded this letter.—I know not how it is, but at every step towards a reconciliation some cause of irritation intervenes, and that always originates in the United States. Some days ago advices have been received by the Executive Directory. It seems that your government hurried beyond all bounds no longer keeps up appearances. A law of the 7th of last month, authorizes it to cause to be attacked, every French ship of war which shall have arrested or entertained intentions of arresting American vessels. A resolution of the House of Representatives suspends from the 13th of this month, all commercial relations with the French Republic and its dependencies. Several projects of laws have been proposed for banishing the French and sequestering French property. The long suffering of the Directory is about to shew itself in a manner not to be called in question. Perfidy can never throw a veil over the pacific dispositions which it has never ceased to manifest. It is even at the moment of this new provocation, when it would seem to have no honorable choice but that of war, that it confirms the assurances I have given you on its behalf. In the present crisis it confides itself to a measure of security and preservation, by putting a temporary embargo on American vessels, with a reserve of indemnity if it takes place. It is still ready, it is as much prepared as ever to terminate by a sincere negotiation the differences which subsist between the two countries. Such is its repugnance to consider the United States as enemies, that in spite of their hostile demonstrations, it means to wait till it is irresistibly forced by real hostilities.
Since you intend to depart, hasten at least Sir, to transmit to your government this solemn declaration.
MR. GERRY'S ANSWER.
Paris, July 20, 1798.
CITIZEN MINISTER,
I received on the 27th Messidor, your letter of the 24th, (the 12th July) on which permit me to make some observations.
You allege that in the United States the French Republic is accused of not wishing for peace, and to shew that it was always desirous thereof you recur to the arrival of M. Genet in America. Far from accusations of any kind, I wish to cultivate harmony between the two governments as the solid basis of peace. From that epoch to the departure from the United States of Mr. Adet, the correspondence of the secretaries of state of the United States with the French ministers in America, and the American ministers in France, contains the history to that time of the unhappy differences between the two republics, and evinces the sincere desire of the government of the United States, amidst the inevitable embarrassments resulting from the convulsive state of Europe, to preserve harmony and friendship with the French republic, and to perform with scrupulous attention the duties of neutrality. If by any unfortunate events France had sustained injuries during that term, still the manifest disposition of the government of the United States to justice and moderation was a sure pledge of redress.
When Mr. Monroe was recalled, a minister was sent to supply his place, and you say he could not be received because he was not in a situation to fulfil the conditions necessary for the renewal of the political connections! Had he been received he could have applied for other powers, if necessary; nothing is more usual. The application which you have so strenuously urged on my part must have been for the renewal of powers annulled by the act of sending away the other envoys: surely then your arguments would have applied with much more force to the case of a minister whose powers were only supposed inadequate to the objects of his mission. The act of rejecting this minister, accompanied with circumstances of high displeasure on the part of the government of the French republic, could not fail to wound deeply the government of the United States, and to produce observations on such an important event! Let the cause and effect be buried in oblivion; the remembrance thereof cannot promise harmony. —This you will readily accede to, when you consider the amicable and attentive conduct immediately adopted by the American government, in sending three Envoys extraordinary with adequate powers to effect a reconciliation
and a renewal of the commercial intercourse between the republics.
From the arrival of the envoys at Paris to the departure of two of them, the objects of their mission were defeated by insuperable bars arising from demands of loans, which violating the neutrality of the United States would have involved them in an immediate war, and of pecuniary reparations for the observations hinted at. Towards the end of that period, after imposing on me secrecy, you stated the embarrassments and dissatisfaction of the Executive Directory, on account of the opinions and conversations of my colleagues, its determination not to treat with them, and its desire to negotiate with me; and you added that my departure would produce an immediate rupture. Astonished as I was at this communication, I informed you that I had no powers to treat separately, the measure was impossible; and that had my powers been adequate, a treaty made under such circumstances would never be ratified by my government. You differed from me, we reasoned on the subject, and each adhered to his opinion. I urged in vain the unreasonableness of admitting prejudices against my colleagues without informing them of the causes thereof; the good effect in removing these which might result from such information, and the necessity of making known to them all that had passed between us. You held me to the promise of secrecy, adding, that if I would negotiate, we could soon finish a treaty, for the Executive Directory were not in the habit of spending much time about such matters. You desired another interview, in which, after a discussion of the subject, I confirmed and adhered to my determination.
In this state affairs remained for some time, and I flattered myself with the hope that failing in the proposition for negotiating with me separately, your next step would be to accredit the three envoys; in such an event the secrecy mentioned would have been proper. This expectation was strengthened by the two subsequent interviews which they had with you, and you may judge of my surprise on the receipt of your letter of the 28th Ventose, containing a refusal to treat with two of the envoys, and renewing the proposition to treat with one. Finding that I was the person alluded to, and that all hopes of our being jointly accredited were at an end, I again retorted in the most positive terms to negotiate separately: Another proposition was then made, that to prevent a rupture I should remain here till information could be sent to my government of these events. Embarrassing as such a state was, I submitted to it rather than to bring on a war. You afterwards sent me your note of the 14th Germinal, 3d April, proposing that I should resume our reciprocal communications upon the interests of the French republic and the United States. To this I replied, on the 4th April, that I could only confer informally and unaccredited on any subject respecting our mission, and communicate to the government of the United States, the result of such conferences, being, in my individual capacity, unauthorised to give them an official stamp. The day after the departure from Paris of the last of my colleagues, I again addressed you and quoting the above paragraph, informed you, that this I considered as the line of conduct well understood to be observed on my part; to this you made no objection verbally or by writing, and thus acquiesced in it had you not I should have immediately demanded my passport. At one of our first interviews after that letter, you stated a difficulty in adopting the plan proposed by my letter of the 20th April, from your not being informed of the wishes of the government of the United States in regard to a treaty: these were so reasonable that I thought it best to communicate them to you, and according to your own opinion since expressed, they would require little or no time for discussion: nothing can exceed them for moderation or justice.
Believing that you was seriously disposed to bring forward the plan of a treaty for the consideration of the government of the United States, and being also convinced that the subject had been so fully discussed, and was so well understood, as not to require much time to accomplish it, I informed you that I should embark for America in June, and although you objected to in the first instance, you afterwards appeared to be fully convinced of the necessity of it, and promised to digest the plan proposed without delay, and to send it to me for examination. I concurred with you at different times on the expediency of sending a minister to Philadelphia to complete the negotiation, and you promised to consider of it.
At length the Sophia arrived, and in a few days afterwards you informed me that I might make myself quite easy; that France did not wish a war with the United States; that she had no thoughts of it. That the American affairs were then before the Executive Directory, and that every thing would be arranged to my wishes. I again stated the necessity of sending a minister to America to complete the negotiation; you said you would propose one to the Executive Directory. This I could not suppose was for the purpose you have since stated, of reiding there after the ratification of the treaty.
Thus were matters circumstanced until the arrival of the gazettes, containing the dispatches of the envoys to their government, which gave a more than momentary turn to your correspondence with me. When I informed you that I should embark in the Sophia, as soon as she could be fitted for sea, there was still time to finish the plan of the treaty, and to send it by me, if expedient. You desired me to remain here; I told you my return was indispensable—and gave you no other reason: I thought that sufficient. You conceive it depended on me to be publicly received by the Executive Directory; but our opinions are different on this point. A government sends three envoys to treat with another government; this rejects two of them, and proposes to treat with the third; candour must admit, I think, that the latter cannot accept the proposal, without transferring, in this instance, the executive authority of his government, who would only have nominated three envoys to the foreign government who would have appointed one of them. You say, that if my powers were altered by the departure of my colleagues, yet on my own hypothesis, I ought to have referred the question to my government,
and in the interim to have fixed with you, by a calm and amicable discussion, all the contentious points of our differences. If my government, as you repeatedly have asserted, was apprised before the twentieth of March of the proposition to treat with me separately, it is evident that it was not disposed to send me new powers; for the Sophia sailed on the 28th of that month, and knowing this, you still urged me to make the application. I have been always ready, and had you come forward with the project of a treaty, would have entered into a calm and amicable conference with you on every part of it, but not into a formal epistolatory discussion, which was not proposed till some time after I was ready to embark, was only relative to the consular convention which will soon expire, was contrary to my stipulation relative to conferences, in which you acquiesced, and would have required months to be completed. You was the first, you affirm, to press seriously the negotiation; you will agree with me, that the merit would have been greater, had the measure itself been feasible. You frequently remind me of your exertions, which I am disposed as much as possible to appreciate; regretting at the same time their circuitous direction. On my part I think you will be convinced that every thing has been done, which circumstances herein truly detailed would admit.
It is with pleasure I learn that the Executive Directory is still ready, and is as much disposed as ever to terminate, by a liberal negotiation, the differences which subsist between the two countries. This disposition has always existed on the part of the United States. A negotiation then, if set on foot, free from all propositions of loans and explanations of speeches, to be held, if necessary, in the city of some neutral nation, and providing for a decision by three or five commissioners, of all points which may not be determined by direct negotiation, would still be accompanied, in my opinion, with success, but having not authority, I cannot make the proposition.
A preliminary measure appears to be requisite, in which the dignity of this government is as deeply concerned as the interest of the United States. The depredations, outrages and cruelties committed on our commerce and citizens in the West Indies, and on our coast, by the French privateers, some of which, it is said, have no commissions, are perhaps seldom paralleled amongst civilized nations. It is said that this government has not been nearly apprised of these events which have been a great source of irritation in the United States, and a principal cause of the repressive measures adopted by them. A recall of the commissions of the privateers, and restraining them by severe penalties to the proper objects of capture, cannot fail to have a happy effect.
You claim a promise of my good offices as a private citizen in America. These shall not be wanting to represent truly every measure of this government, and to render successful all such as may be well adapted to effect a reconciliation. This is all that can be expected of me, and the duty which I owe to my country will require it. And now, citizen minister, having given you a testimony of my esteem, such as results from a frank and candid conduct, I bid you adieu, wishing sincerely a speedy renewal of amity and commerce between the two republics.
Accept, citizen minister, the assurance of my perfect consideration.
E. GERRY.
Lexington, October 24.
By letters from Bell-Canton of the 4th inst. we are informed, that on the second, a treaty was concluded at Tellico block house between the commissioners on the part of the United States and the Cherokee Indians, and the following boundary agreed on, viz. Beginning at a bluff, or rock, half a mile below Tellico, thence out by a small creek, to the Militia spring on Marysville road, about two miles from Tellico; thence to the Chilhowee mountains, to the place where Hawkins was to run; then from the bluff or rock first mentioned, down Little Tennessee (making the bank on this side the line,) crossing at the mouth of Holston making the bank of main Tennessee the line to the point where they run out to Hawkins line, and along it to Clinch river; thence up Clinch, still making the bank on this side the boundary, to Emory's river, and up it to within a mile of the Kentucky trace; thence to a point in the Cumberland mountain, forty-five miles South from Nashville: the Indians reserving to themselves Tellico and all islands in the Tennessee river. The Indians are to receive as a compensation for the lands ceded to the United States by the above treaty, goods in hand, to the amount of five thousand dollars, and one thousand dollars annually forever.
In consequence of this treaty. Col. Butler has ordered the 4th regiment from the frontiers to Bell-Canton, and the inhabitants who were removed, permitted to return to their former habitations.
The following toasts were drank on the 22d instant at Mr. Theobald's tavern in Georgetown, Scott county, by the officers of the 12th regiment of militia, and published at their request:
1. AMERICA—May the Sun of LIBERTY which first dawned on her borders, give light to the World.

2. The American Eagle—May none dare pluck a feather from her wings. 3. The Constitution—May it be esteemed our political creed, and never infringed under any pretext. 4. The People—May they be jealous of, and watchful over their rights. 5. The Rights of Man—May our swords be readily unsheathed in defence of them, and them only. 6. The Militia—May they be sensible that they are the great bulwark of the nation, and that a standing army in time of peace is not only unnecessary, but also, a reflection on them. 7. The Sixteen United States, one and indivisible—May no link of that chain be broken, but new ones added. 8. The Southern and Western States—May they, by a speedy population, produce an equipoise in the political scales. 9. The arts and sciences, agriculture & commerce—May they go hand in hand, mutually assisting and assisted. 10. Thomas Jefferson and the minority in Congress—May their meritorious and patriotic exertions for the maintenance of peace and the Rights of Man, never be forgotten by all true republicans. 11. James Monroe—May the dawn of truth put his calumniators to confusion and shame. 12. Elbridge Gerry—May he like the dove, return with the olive branch to the ark of his country. 13. The three patriotic representatives from Kentucky—May they continue to deserve well and meet the suffrages of their constituents. 14. George Nicholas—May he live to see and taste the fruits of his patriotic exertions. 15. The Executive of Kentucky—May his address to both branches of the legislature, be in unison with, and give energy to the general resolves of his constituents, and fix him at the head of the patriots of his country. 16. The Freedom of Speech, and the Liberty of the Press—May those who endeavored to overthrow that palladium of our constitutional rights, never again obtain the suffrage of their constituents. The Mississippi—May that invaluable trade never be obstructed. The Heroes who fell in defence of Liberty—May they never be forgotten. Livingston and Gallatin.

RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of PHYSIC and SURGERY, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783; by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, histerics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, costiveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures fist and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all feminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

SOLITUDE.
O SOLITUDE! most pleasing, dear retreat! The peaceful asylum from worldly cares, From noisy rabble, and from keen regret, A sweet repose from all these vain affairs.
Here peace, & white rob'd innocence do dwell, Love, friendship, harmony, may rest secure; In some fair unselected woodland cell, The luckless Poet may some ease procure.
O Angelina! let us hither fly, Forsake all parties, every vainer bliss, Unknown, unseen, in purest harmony, We will enjoy universal happiness.
Here we may contemplate, with fresh delight, Walk thro' the shady groves for recreation; By day, the forest, and the stars by night, Afford the eager muse, sweet meditation.
