IN my last paper I adverted to some other general
practices than those therein mentioned, the discontinu-
ance or adoption of which may he supposed to increase
the predisposition to apoplectic disorders. It is to he ob-
served, that under the head of apoplectic disorders is in-
eluded palsy, as well its some lethargic complaints, which
differ only in degree from the most complete apoplexy,
and are frequently the forerunners of this disease ; some-
times the y constitute the termination of it ; a total aboli-
tion ofsense and motion, tbr instance, gradually subsiding
into a permanent paralysis. During the prevalence of
the Immoral pathology, which attributed the cause of
most dismes to a vitiated or depraved state of the fluids,
great attention was paid to purifying the blood, and cur-
rectiog the diflerent humours contained in the vessels of
the human body. One chief means of effecting this, was
sepposed to be the exhibition of purgative medicines,
which, by evacuating 'the ofli.nding humours, rendered
the whole mass of fluids more healthy and fit fltr the pur-
poses of their circulation. Even the choice of these medi-
cines was not considered a matter of indifference, various
claseslx. ing thought to possess an elect ire power of carrying
along with them different kinds of noxious humours,
whence arose the terms hpdrogyfrucs, chologogurs,
The real effect of all of them is, to remove from the first
passages, a inns• of crude matters which might by their
confinement produce, by sympathetic irritation, nn increase
of thc impetus of the circulation, and thus contribute to
augment the ill consequences of the vernal plethora. At
the same time it is to be admitted, that the operation of
these medicines was not confined to this efh alone ; an
increased secretion W 11.4 M(1111411 from all the glands of
the intestinal canal, thus relieving the loaded blood-ves-
sels from a part of their contents, actually causing at
least a temporary loss of strength and vigt mr. Whatever
hypothetical conjectures may have influenced those who
first gave origin to the custom, experience convinced them
of its utility ; and for many ages it was universally the
practice to take a certain number of doses of physic on the
approach of spring, whatever might be the state of health
of the individual. Confivrmahly to the superstition of the
times, an odd number was always fixed upon ; three were
usually sufficient ; if more were thought requisite, seven
were prescribed, the intermediate odd number being by
an means a propitious one. As to preventive, this cus-
tom has fallen into disuse ; and although I cannot attach

the head ; .. a negh...et oft, periodical bleeding., even for
a week, will he much more dangerous than if general
blood-letting were delayed for a longer period. Habit
will in such a case have established a determination of
blood to the head ; and the man who defers his periodical
cupping, sometimes but for a day, risks his life upon a
slender chance. I may stand alone in the opinion ; but I
minim help reprobating the presentfizshionallepructicc of
periodical cupping, as nue replet cwith thegrestest danger.

WAR DriY ON MALT.—The following are the reso-
lutions which were proposed and adopted by the House
of Commons, relatiweto the war duty on malt ; and, a
short statement of them only having appeurexl in the
public ixtpers, we think it may be useful to the persons
immediately concerned to see them detailed at length:—

"That it is the opinion of this Committee, that there be al.
lowed fix all dry ungrutand malt, which shall be produced to
the Otlicer of Evcise by any malster, or maker of malt fur

!ICAY PAPERS-.

We have reecived CharitT.stown Papers to the Ist of
March, with regular files &obi New Yhrk, containing all
the proceedings of Congress to the 12th ult.—The Nor,
jiilk Ledger of the 29th of February, states, after relating '
the circumstance of Gen. Moreau having been driven
into exile by Puonaparte, and of the General having re-
paired to the United States, and t'at Mr. Jefferson, who
Was President iit fhat-peritar, intimated that the pre-
stnee of Moreau would not be agreeable at Washington
—" Bekt now we ace that Marshal Grouchy and our
Pres'uleat were together at the Birth-night Ball. We
will rot insult the memory of Moreau by a comparison
with GrouChy."
Among the most important proceedings arc those in
the Hollbt! of Representatives on the 29th of February,
on the subject:, of the Traffic iu S'ltives. They arc as
fthilows
" Mr. Randolph moved the subjoined Resolution, the
necessity of which, and of •providing for a practice set
heinous and abominable, he, at some length, impressed
upon the House :
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to enquire into
the existence 1;f our inhuman and illegal tradie in slaves, cid.-
ries:Aro in and ibroogh the district of Columbia, and to report
stunted what measures are necessary for putting a stop to the
wane.'—The Resolution was agreed to.
Tic National . latelligenecr says—" A Spanish ship
from Africa to Havannah, with 500 slaves and a large
quantity of gold dust and ivory, has been captured off*
the Hole-in-the-Wahl by an English frigate, and sent
into Bermusla.".
We have American Papers to the 12th of. March.
The Commercial treaty with Great Britain hastinallv pass-
ed both . Houses; it had previously been carried into
effect by the ntecutive.
Mr. Pinckney is appointed Ambassador to Rossia, and
to take Naples in his way.
An American Paper contains the Report of the Secre-
tary of .the• Treasury on the New Tariff, addressed to
the President of the Senate, who bad been applied to, to
furnish the substance of this document; and in this ske-
leton form it occupies seven columns. The discriminat-
ing duty imposed by law upon goods imported in ve.ols
not of the United States, is not made in direct charge
upon the goods, but is charged generally upter.the rate
dutyjrnposed on the same goods when imported in
vessels of the United States ; and it is uniformly an ad-
dition of 10 per cent. upon the Amarican rue of ditty,
whether it be specific or ad valorem. The duty and ton-
nage to be paid at the time of entry., The local limita-
tioni as to the drawback. of duty oa,goods exported has
bLen modified.. The amount expected to be raised by
the New Tariff is 17,000,000 .of,dollars ; being an in-
crease of 5,Q09,000 of dollars upon the former. The
Secretary concludes in the fbllawing terms
" dt is not practicab!e to ascertain the amount of revenue
heretofore produced by the classes of goods specified in the
last table; but it is sufficiently. known that some of than pro-
duced little, while the product of others was proportionably
great. Taking the whole together, it is estimatedthat the us 4tile
Increase of ditty is equal,to 100 per cent. upon the aggregate
amount of the former rat rrgioreut duties. But the effects to be
expected from the inerea,q.d duty en woollen and:cotton goods
from the dimination bfdlie Alien Doty mut Treaties, or Acts
elf Congress, involved in the Lew system,
:will not admit a
higher estimate of the aggregate product of the increased
tats of the ad tolceent (tut, than the rate, f7a or 80 per cent.
upon the i'oritier product.
"Assuming then, on•an adranceofflOper cent. upon 4,800,000
dollars, the suns will he 5,840,000
And adding to this sum produced, as now stated.

the additional revenue required, a stun of - 5,140,000

We have, in...the Ameriean Papers, very splendid de-
tails of flavtian Royalty and magnificence.—The rale-
braticut of Haytian Independence took piace early in
January. Buonaparbe certainly could not, in the very

likely to take place between Spain and the United.
