ed Hero, Lord NELSON, was 'the first to do honour ‘,
t 4 hi% rriernory, by a public Meetitig of condolence for
his 16%5, and corigratulations for hisViaory. The Meets
ingwaS by ;a requisition to the High Sheriff, signed by
considerable number of the Nobility and most
respeCtabfe .Freeholders of the County; and was
held at the Spread Eagle, Epsom, at twelve o'clock
'esterday. The attendance was respeaable, but not
1.11.1114er0L15,.. .
• The High Sheriff having taken the Chair, read to
the, Meeting the Requisition he had received, and
called upon some Gentlemen, who had signed to
propose an Address impursuance thereof. No Gen-
tleman who had signed it being prepared with one, a
pause ensued, and several Gentlemen calling on ,
Sir THOMAS Te RION—He addressed the High
. Sheriff and Meeting, apologizing to them for pro-
posing an Address so impede& and, inadeeuate to
the occasion, as that which, at the desire or several
Qentlenaeo present, he had hastily drawn up since he
came to the Assemblage. In. the absence, however,
of one more Maturely digested and considered, and
tinder the circumstances of pressure as to time, he
should submit its such as it was, to their candour and
indUlgence, asking only their assent as to the sub-
stance; _and calling on them for their assistance in
rendering its language more appropriate to the occas
sion. But, before he read the 4ddress which it fell
-to his share to propose, it was incumbent on him to
say a few words on the subjea of the present Meet-
ing ; and here he must preface what he had to offisr,
by observing., that he had not signed the'Requisition
when applied .to, not because he did not approve of
the purpose :ef the 'Meeting (for who could disap-
prove of it ?)—but, because ire was uncertain as to
hisattendaitees and having always considered it to
be the duty of .every man signing a Requisition to
give his attendance. In regard to the subje& of the
present Meeting, it fortunately spoke for itself: it
was engraved in the head and heart, not only ofevery
man present, but of. every individual in the Country.
It was a peculiar satisfaction to him to refle&, that
to the principle And substance of the Address there
would not, .there could not,;beeneclissentient voice;
that.for once;at least, even here, all party distin&ions,
all political ditfereeces, would be laid aside; and that
unanimity would prevail. For what was the °hied
of the Meeting ? Was it not to congratulate and con-
dole with His 4I4JESTY on Victories so decisive in
their result, and so important in their consequences,
as to attraa the admiration and excite the gratitude
of every individual inthe Country ? Vietories which,
in their consequences, affeaed not only the dearest
interests of Great Britain, but of every kingdom in
gurope ; nay, one might • almost say, of the whole
world:. He trusted their effects and influence would
riot only be . felt here, but that in particular it
would inspirit eau Allies to 'make those exertions.
la the eomesou cause by which alone Europe
could. be saved ; and it would be recalleaed that
the Cause of Europe was at this moment the cause
of the world. It did not confine itself to the little-
ness of individual and unctiuneaed interest; but, if
the DeclaratiousOfthe Allies were true, it embraced
those universal . principles of policy and justice re.
cognized by all civilized States : namely, the nes .
cessity of placing a barrier to the restless ambition-
-01 an overgrown Power aiming at universal Empire.
Such a cause ought to succeed---such a cause must •
eventually.succeed—nor could the knowledge of the
successful. efforts we had made to suerress the exor-
bitant power of the common Enemy fiiil to animate .
our Allies, to proportiouate effeass But if the glory
ef. the ViCtory called for our admiration and our
gratitude, no less did it behove us to acknowledge,
that it. had been hardly and dearly bought. It had
been purchased. at the expence of the Life of the
most .valued of England's Heroes—of one on whose
brow Victory Over sat clothed in the lovely garb of
Modesty and Mercyr-whose Exploits his Country's
voice alone proclaimed ; and who, proved by his
condua to his fallen foes, that mercy is not incom-
patible' with courage. The loss of such a man can-
not be supplied ; yet we may with reason hope,
that the .splendour of his example 'will excite that
emulation in the British Navy, which cannot fail to
secure to this Country a Naval pre-etninence soar-
knowledge's' as May bid defiance to all the ion:bine('
"efforts of our present and.future Enemies, however
numerous andpowerful ;--snor in this reflection are
We doing injustice 'to his beloved meinorys:rfor
could the Shade of our departed Hero—of that Hero
whose patriotism was as conspicuous as his gallantry,
and which retogniZed nothing mean or selfish in it—
look back on the transient things of .this world, it
would applaud the patriotic exuitations we now ex.;
press, even at the sacrifice of our.personal feelings—
'(Here the Speaker averconze by his sensibility made a
pathetic pause);--Sir Titostss, then added, that he
should not trespass' longer on their timethan merely
fb observe, that whilst in the Address he had avoided
every thing which could possibly excite opposition,
or prevent an unanimity so particularly desirable on
such an occasion,. he could not but express to the
Meeting his individual wish, that the Address-should
contain some sentiment of approbation of His Mx-
JESTY'S Government' for the able and judicious dis-
position of the' Navat Force of the Country, by
. which the gallantry of our Countrymen had been
'so sudeeisfidlyealled into aaion. • Sir THOMAS said,
:that he should be guided by What appeared to be the
sense of the Meeting as to. this addition, which hp
was the more 'desirous of 'making, because, in the
course of the last twelve' years, he had so repeatedly
witnessed in that place an uniform system of abus-
ing the measures of Government; and he thought
it but justice, therefore, , that while they exercised
. their undoubted right of complaint, they shotild not
withhold a tribate of approbation where the claim of
Government to it was'equally undoubteds--(Lottd/y
applauded)
Lord \Sri-LT..lam 11U$SELL begged to second the
Address as it now..stood. He gave it the most
heartfconcurrence in his power, It needed no al-
terations ,It ;expressed every thing that could be
Biitlie`cotild nut give his assent to the
additicin proposed by the Honourable Mover, as he
considered it unfair in a Meeting called together for
a specific purpose (the principle of which was for
the purpose of giving unanimity to the objea of
such a Meetihg, which lie was sorry was not:mord
numerously attended)--to introduce any thing not
contained in the Notice. For this reason ha trusted
that the lioii.l3itrouvt'would not urge if. To bi,i

Mr. ElotitAg;.,_ after &-)itiiiiidietitifig the Hon.
Moveri apologiied fbr intruding' hlinfelf on the
Meeting. He highly approved ot the Address; bUt
roue( wished the additioii proliokki might be made:
He considered the Country greatly indebted for the
Yitiories we bad obtained to ,the Judicious dispo-
sition of its Naval Force; and *why, therefore, in
this memorable instance, not give due praise to that.
GoVernment who 'so manifestly deservki. it With
regard to the Much-lamented obje& of our deepeSt
regret, he joined in all the tincomiunts se justly be-
stowed on him, and in the general sorrow:for the
loss of a life sci'valnable. • • . • .

Mr. LQWNDES observed that he was sorry to see
no expressions of condolence in the Address. We
ought to put on Gene.ral Mourningfor a *loss so
Nationally glorious, and so Nationally irrephrable!
He begged to read from a Paper in his Lit).:l some
sentiments which obtruded . themsclyon his mind,
and which the occasion suggested. •
[The substance of the Paper was, comparing our late Cal=
lant Hero with a Comet, and predieting a Successor .0 Glory
in Sir SIDWILY SMITH. lie complimented also Mr. Pitt,
maintaining his political pre-eininence',- and insisting -that,
whilstbe was Minister,
_success would attend our Arms : al-
though he acknowledged his' great good luck in being able to
meet the Parliament with good news.]'

Mr. LOWNDES added, that he wli,hed something to
he inserted in the Address recommending His MA-
JRSTY to depart ftiorn the accustomed rule of em-
ploying Com'handers according to Seniority of Rank;
as, if that had not been dispenied with in the in.
stance of Lord 'NELSON, theViaories of theNle
and Trefalgar would, perhaps, never have- taken
place.

- .
Mr. SHAW observed, that When 'hp read the Re-
quisition he could not conceive how the observations
which Mr. Lowodes had read could-i apply to the
purpose of then present Meeting, 'We were not
called upon to. adVise His , MAJESTY whom
,he was
to employ, but,,to express our Congratulatiens for
Victories achieved, and condolence for the personal
loss ;p
sostailie4... .Address.Addressost fully answered
both objects• and what could .be more desired ?
He should therefore' support; the Address as it then
stood. . • - '
Mr. PERRY begged to know whether the Address
was meant to be put in its then ((inn, or with the
addition ? .
Sir THOMALTURTON said, as it did not seem ,to
be the unanimous sense of the Meetingthat the ad-
dition should barnacle, (and especially for the reason
`given by the Noble Lord) be should put the Ad-
dress in its present -form, more for the sake of una-
nimity than froth donVittion;. •
Mr. Pcatcy then observed,: that he should give
the Address his Warmest approbation. He was
surprised to hear it said, that it was not one of
condolence. if the Hon. Grentleinan who made. the
observation would read the Address, •he would find
his mistake. It contained all that :could be wished.
He was: glad the Hon. Baronet had not pressed
the addition, because not only should he have been
obliged to oppose it, but he could have produced a
Document, then in his pocket—and which was a Let-
ter from Lord NELSON, wriLtan a few days previ
ous to the Engagement, which would have sa-
tisfied every man present, that the disposition of the
Naval Force at that period deserved censure, not
praise.
.
The Address was then put,. corned flnanimoysly,
ordered to be signed by the Sheriff in the name of
the Meeting, and to be presented to His MAJESTY'.
by the Sheriff,. accompanied by the Mover. and Se-
Conder, and by the other Representative, and other
Gentlemen who chose .to attend.
The CHAIRMAN haVingleft.the Chair, the Thanks
of the. Meeting were unanimously voted -him fOr his

The KING's health is now in an excellf.,nt gate,
with the exception of his sight, which is still 'ex-
tremely weak, so much sa, that His Masts.' y can
not discern objets at the diStatice of two yards,
however great their magnitude. From this circqm..
stance His MAJesTy lias, in consequence, been
obliged to relinquish his favourite study of military
tadics. Of the political statd of Europe, from
the eominencement of the last century,' down to the
present time, no one has a more 'thorough know;
ledge or can converse, on the subjed with greater
eloquence. and facility. The charaders of all the
great Potentates, who now form the leaders in the
present contest against the Corsican Usurper, His
Margery the other evening drew a faithful picture
of, in the presence of the DUKES of CUMBERLAND
and CAMORIDOE, Lord and Lady CATHCART, and
a seled party of visitants now in Windsor Castle.—
The conduel of General Macx,, in this and the late
War, the Knits animadverted upon with peculiar
force and energy. His MAJESTY never speaks of
the departed Hero, NaLsorr, withottt being visibly
affected. When the first news of the untimely
death of that truly great man reached the Royal ears.
His MAJesTy exclaimed, " we have lost more than
we have gained." For icy° days HisMaarsve dwelt
constantly upon the melancholy even tiand since which
the KING has said little, but expressed much. The

YARD, and Lord and Lady CATHCART. The two
latter will remain in Windsor Castle until his Lord-
ship departs for Russia, having been lately appointed
Ambassador to the Court of St. Petershurgh.
In the late conversation held with the Kam by
the DUKE of YORK on Military .Airairs, the Dula
of CUMBERLAND expressed a wish to accompany
Ms Royal Brother on his Continental trip, to which.
His MAJESTY gave his assent. The time is not yet
fixed for the DUEB"Of CAMIIIIIDOR'S departure; and
it is said that he will not go So soon as was expeded
a few days since.
Wednesday, about twelve o'eloek, the Russian
Ambassador visited Mr. PITT, for the first time since
his return from his tout in the North of England.—
His Excellbncy afterwards went tp Lord Mulgrave's
Office, where ho remained till past two o'clock. In
the evening his Excellency visited the Prussian Am,

a. When there prises any apyrehensloti of rect.

tries", it will be proper to ascertain the real' nature.:of
the' Diseases which prevail in those Conntriei.
4. In ease of suspicion,. a Utisra n tine should, ts4i,
instituted, prohibiting the introduction of goods till
they have been properly aired, and Obliging all per-
sons who may arrive front suspeaed places to sepa--
rate themselves fora certain number of days : in the
Plague 20 days have been.judged necessary, as it la
believed the disease always bIICWS, itself within that
period from the timeof its being contra6tecl:
6. If the Plague; or .other contagious and fatal
Sickness, should break'out, the only edeclual means
f checking it (and this is partidularly to be noticed)i
11 by separating the sick from those who are well.
The earlier and the more perfectly this is dune, the
greater will be the adVantage derived from it.
6. In the treatment of tliese dik)iders no-spe.cifie
is to be relied' upon—protlise evacuation; of every
kind, or an immoderate use of fermentedliquors, are
equally to be'avoided.
,It is principally recommend-
ed to support the general strength of the Patient,
and to relieve any troublesome symptoms that may
arise.

A Journal of Praaiee ought to be kept ; which
should afterwards be tran'sruitted to the Board of
Health.

8. The clothes, bed, and other things which have
been exposed to the poison of contagious diseases,
should be washed, whenever that can bo done; or
eke fumigated, and aired, before they are again
used.. The apartments also should be fumigated and
white-washed-.

g. The following is recomMended as at nee the
cheapest and the most efficacious method of Jinni-
gating: the clothes and other things being previously-
disposed on lines across the room, two or morn iron
pots should be placed in it; containing a mixture of
sulphur and powdered eliarcoali in the projiortion
of three parts of sulphur to one of charcoal, These
being set'on fire, all persons must immediately re-
tire, the doors and windows must be close shut, aild
the vapour confuted for 24 hours, The chamber
being then aired, the purification may in slight C3SO$
be considered as com?lete ;. but in cases of greater
danger the same process should be repeated.
