Loan Mairoa and Common Council to the London Vac-
cine Institution, at the close of the last month, I trust the
same spirit of activity will be awakened in other quarters, to
open the eyes of the people to the health and welfare of their
own families. The result of the labours of this Institution
is certainly consolotary and encouraging. By their last
Report, it appears that, in the last year, there have been
Vaccinated—
By Dr. Walker, 2,503 ; from the beginning, 10,898.
By the appointed Inoculatura in the Metropolis, 1,075 ; from the
beginning, 4,184.
By the appointed Inoculators in the Country, 36,733 ; from the be-
giuhlUh!, :!14,'107.
Making a total of 2.19,289 persons, who have received
the Vaccination with uniform success.
The resident Inoculater, has, also, since the last sear,
supplied 25,923 Charges of Vaccine Matter, to 5,%56 Ap-
plicants, not only in the Metropolis and diffeleirt parts of.
she United Kingdom, but to the Colonies, the Army and
Navy, and to applications from Foreign Countries.
The total supply of Matter afforded by the Institution,
amounts to 119,003 Charges, to 24,158 Applicants. since
1806, the year of its commencement.
I remain, Sir, your's,

In addition to the arguments of our Correspondent in fa-
vour of Vaccination, we have to add the following extract
from a late French paper in our possession, which shows
what implicit confidence is placed in the efficiency of that
salutary practice on the Continent, where to neglect vacci•
?ating children early is deemed criminal. It is to he wished
the same measures should be adopted here as at Magdeburg,
to prevent the extension of the contagion, when children
have, either naturally, or through the inhuman perverseness
of practitioners, caught the Small-pox :••••
MAODEatmo. JUNS *0 —The public have just been informed by
au advertisement published in this department, that the child
of a labourer, called Henkel. having rang' t the Small-pus, died
After a few days illness. The ravages of that plague have even
extended farther. Two other children belonging to the same Henkel
have also been seized with this contagious distemper. It therefore be-
came the duty of administraticn to take most rigorous measures in order
to prevent the guilty neglect of an individual from proving fatal to
1,800 children nut yet vaccinated. The Prefect has ordered, in conse-
quence, that the two sick children should be taken to St. Augustine
Hospital, there to be kept in solitary quarantine under the care of
the Hospital Physician. They shall have all the attend n paid
them which humanity claims ; but they shell not be restored to their
parents until their cure is completed, phould, however. the cruel im-
providence of their father and mother not have doomed them to cer-
tain death.

Tile Prefect has learnt, with satisfaction, that within these few days
more than 300 cbiWren hare been vaccinated..(Jeursel de feels,

belt entered ()retie, where he t rk posscs of itemense magaz;.ries
ot flour, oats. and clothing. Ile. :Altera. anis passed the noliatheees,
and proceeded in punnet of a convoy of ereilery.
Smolensk is in alarm : every thing is remociii.g to Moscow. An
officer, sent by the Emperor to cause the evacuai len of the magazines
ot Orcha, was quite astonished te finl the place in the possesaien of
•he French. 'this officer was taken Irt it h his dispatches.
Bagration was briskly pursued in his retreat, anticipated,
•eparated, and removed from the male .army; that army ecommandert
by the Emperor Alexander, •e rested on the Dwioa. On the 14th,
General Sebastian{, following the rear-guard, cut down 500 Cossacks,
and arrived at Drouia.
On the 13th, the Dike of Reg& advanced upon Dimaberg, burnt
the tine barracks which the enemy had constructed there, rook a plait
of the works. buret some magazines, and took 150 prisoners After
this diversi n on the right. he moved on Drouia.
On the 15th. the enemy, who was concentrated in his entrenched
camp of Orissa, to the number of 100 to 120,000 men. ben g ieferneel
that our I ght cavalry did not keep a strict watch, threw over a bridge,
sent across 5.000 cavalry, attacked General Sebastiaiii unexpectedly,
drove him back one league, and caused !inn a loss of 10J killed,
wounded, and prisoners, among whom was a Captain and a sub-Lieu-
tenant of tee 11th chasseurs. The General of Brigs'le St. Genies,
who was mortally w untied, remained in the power of the enemy .
On the 16th, the Marshal Duke of Treviso, with a part of the foot
guards, and the light Bavarian cavalry, arrived at Gleubokoe. The
Viceroy arrived at Doekeehistie in ttit 17th. On the 18th, the Em-
peror removed his head-quarters to Glattbokoe. On the2o.ll, the
Marshals Dukes of Istria and Treviso were at Oachatsck, the V ceroy

On the 18th, the Russian army evacuated their entrenched c"mp of
Hrissa, defended by twelve paltsadoecl redoubts, united oe a covered
way, and extending 8,000 robes on the river. Tlicee works cost a
year of labours we have levelled them. The immense magazines
thee contained were either burnt or thrown into the water.
On the 19th the Emperor Alexander was at Wire; sk
saute day General Count Nalisouty was opposite Polotsk.
On the 20th the King of Naples passed the Div iota, a. covered the
right batik of the river with iiis cavalry. All the preparations the
enemy had made to defend the passage ot the Divine love oeen useless.
The magazines he has been framing at a great exeiesee for these three
years past, have been entirely deli toyed ; the same has happened to
his works, which, according to the reporjs of the people of thee, un-
try, have cost the Russians in one year not lcss than 6.000 nien One
can hardly guess on what ground they flattered the msehes that they
would be attacked inetheencempments they had entrenched.
General Count Grouchy has reconnoitered Babinovitch and Siemno.
On all sides we are marching upon the Oula: this river is joierd by
a canal to thc-fieresina, which runs into the Berysthenes. •I' hits we
are masters of the cemmunicat on from the lialtiC to the Black Sea.
In his movements, the enemy has been obliged to l'estroy his bag-
gage, and to throw is artillery end arms into the rivers. .I 1 the
Pules of his army avail themselves of his precipitate retreat to desert,
and wait in the woods till the arrival of the French. The number of
P..les who have deterred the Russian army may be calculated to
amount at least to 20,000 men.
Marshal the Duke of Belluno, with the 9th corps. is advancing
upon the Vistula. Marshal the Duke ot Castiglione is set out ter
Berlin, to take the commaed of the 11th co: S.
The country between the Oula and the Dwina is very beautiful,
and in the highest state of cultivation. We often meet with beautiful
country-seats, and extensive convents. In the tewn of Glauoukce
aione there are two convents, winch may contain each 1,200 sick.
