TO THE .gpiToit. OF THE SUN.

SIR,

I should be glad if any of- your Readers who
may happen to be a casuist, would answer the fol-
lowing question :--\V nether is it more culpable in
a political party, not in power, to send out an ato-,
bassador to counteract the operations of Govern-
ment ; or torthe Ministers of the Crown to make
communications of the highest importance, to any
part of his Majesty's subjects, without the know-
ledge, and in opposition to the known sentiments,
of the Sovereign ?.

Yours, &c.-

FOR THE SUN.

I\IR. EDITOR,

The candid manner in which your Paper •has
been conduCted, respecting thetaEts and reasonings
concerning Vaccination, has been of much service
in propagating truth, and your late silence will be
considered as one proof that the public are convinced.
of the falla,•.y of the experiment.
Be oleaSe-d. therefore, to inform the Deputies of
the London Medical Colleges, that the daughter of
Mr. Reynolds, an eminent' butcher in the nigh-
street, Southwark, who was vaccinated at five
months old, is just recovered from the natural
Small Pox, being now 7 years and aine months old.
The attack of fever was violent, attended with de-
lirium,- but the eruption distinat, and not More,
than 100 pustules.
This case ..ccurring in the vicinity of Guy's Hos-
,pit al, win' re Lectures_recommending the praaice of
Cow, l'ox have been anowlly read, may, perhaps
cheCk the ardour ofthose Professors who have been
so long in error, for it is shocking to refleci, that
the ignorance and onstinacy..of young Practitioners
may he productive of so much mischief, as fre-
quently happens when the epidemic Small Pox ap-
pears it towns and populous places..
• If the Institution chose to wake inquiry after
what has lardy happened at Granthan, in Lincoln-
shire, they will find enough to prevent any further
petition to Parli'iment for money to continue an ex-
periment, which has for twelve years past annually
produced more and more proofs of its absolute in-
ability to perform any of the benefits originally
promised by the discoverer and his strenuous sup-
porters.
