poREIGN ELLIUENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

ROUEN, SEPT S.

The infant arid of M. Mussel, Ake as: Jufti,
vaccinated some years ago, experienced, about three
weeks ago, an eruption which resembled very much
the small pox. The child was seen by most of the
Surgeons and Physicians of Rouen. Several per-
sons, deceived by the appearances, spread a report
that this eruption was the small pox. Nothing is
more false. Twelve children have been twice
inoculated with the ripest of the variolons pustules,
and not one of the children has taken the small pox.
We are astonished that the Vaccine Committee,
several Members of which have watched the pro-
gress of this disorder, preserve silence upon this im-
portant fa& It might be proper to publish the ex-
periments made upon this occasion, because they
must be useful to humanity, by proving, more and
more, that the vaccine is a preservative against the
small pea.—(Roans Journal.)

3•NILRO. MT. 1.

A German Journal has proved, by a compari-
son of dates, that the English Ministers, at the mo-
ment they sent their expedition to Zealand, had
rot by their own acknowledgment, any off ria I
or authentic intelligence of the new connellions
which the secret articles of the Treaty of Tilsit
may have formed between France and Russia.
The departure of Admiral Gactbier has been pre-
e;pitated, merely upon a vague report, that Russia
had, by wit tut! of a treaty of alliance, subsisting be.
tween her and Denmark, demanded a succour of
19 Danish ships of the line, and 13,00 n land troops,
to co-operate in a &crew uplift the British Islets

EXPOSITION OF THE. STET[ OF THE FRENCH
EMPIRE

RELIGIMIs WORSHIP.
•

To the members cf the clergy in general, the
CaPrernment has to testify the highest satisfaCtion ;
tether did p ire manners, a tolerant piety, great
disinterestedness, a constant application to their
duties, prevail in a higher degree among all ranks
of the Hierarchy. Incessantly occupied in the
Goble task assigned them, the amendment of public
and private morals, they are sensible that obedi-
ence to the laws is an essential branch both of the
one and of the other ; and that of all laws, that
which has for its objeft the defence of the state. is
the mnst sacred ; that it is a law whose prompt and
complete execution is most strongly recommended.
both by religious sentiments and the spirit of pant.
otism.

The different religions authorised in the empire,
maintain an union of the spirit which is
common to them all, and honourable to their

misters.
