U 7111 LDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,

As su.menc the public Prints and other periodical
Publications have noticed cases which.have been given
as remarkable instances of failure of the Cow -Pox,anci
as the subject is of 'great importance*. to mankind,
not only at present; but in ail future ages, you will
not perhaps objet to the insertion of the following
fat3s, which 'appear to me more "fatal and as decid-
ed as that which is reported to have happened 'at
Ringwood.'

About February or March last, sixty nine per-
sons .1% ere inOcul,i•e(l for the cow-pox, at Widford,
in Haag, and the matter, was obtained from Dr.
•Walker's,Society, and carefully inserted by-an emi-
nent Surgeon, of 1-Idham, about t►ro months•dffer,
the. n;itural 4mall-pox broke out in the place; when
twenty-nine of the. vaccinated persons caught the
small-pox and nine of them died. Fifty were in-

oculated after Wards. with the small-pox by another
Surgeon, and all recovered.
Some persons have lately been sent to Wirlford to
enqu:re into this' strong faa, which was not only
authenticated, but some of the Jennerian eruptions
and had arms were added to the account:

The names of those who died, were V. Burton, five
years; Mary Catmore, thirteen years; Ann Catmoie, eleven'
years;. W. Catmore, three years ; • Emma Prior, six months;
Martha Wren, six years; 'ohm Felsteci, one year; lames
ThorOughgoo.l, two years; Charles IVybrow, six months.

N B. A foreign • Surgeon was lately in London,

to make enquiry the.cause of so many failures
on the Continent, but a: DI Jenner wa: not tr, be
hearJ of in London, and the National Establi:htnent
have not givcrt any information of his visit to them.,
we cannot say what intelligence he carried back
With him.

VERAX.

• For the truth of this account you may enquire of
Mr. Rogers, Spring Garden, but you may depend on
the authenticity of it.

* As we agree with our Correspondent respeaing the im-
portance of the stibjea.,we deem it our duty to insert his
Letter; and shall feel it our duty also to admit the state.
ment and arguments of the 'advocates on both sides of the
question. while they refrain from personality, and present
fads in such a manner as shall accord with the principles and
chatader of a public Journal. For our own part, we cannot
but avow our confidence in a discovery which. from a vast
body of evidence, appears to haVe been successfully practised
all over the world.

LONDON,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1810.

norning favoured with the follow-
York,-ditted August_7th

" A Prioßitit, -a native Of Mexico, who took pas-
sige in a vessel from Norfolk, at arrived at Ha-
vanna, with intention to go to Catnpeachy, has been
arrested and confined at Havanna.. A number of in-
flammatory papers were found among his luggage;
and it is supposed he will be condemned' as a spy
and, suffer deat •
" Sailed yesterday the United States brig Hornet,
of 18 guni, Capt. HUNT, for France and England'.
The Hornet has a Government Messenger on board."

If the accounts from Spain of the success of Ge-
nerals BALLASTEROS and CAaRERA over the French
General MORTIER, should prove true to the extent
stated, the French army in Andalusia will be Vaned
rather in a critical situation. The active operations
commenced by the garrison of Cadiz, in the sight of
the besieging army, will add very much to the em-
barrasrnent of VICTOR, and, will, ,we think, 'ulti-
mately, unless he receives large reinforcements, com-
pel him to raise the siege. The communi-

cations between VICTOR'S camp and Seville, and
between Seville and Madrid, are at present most
precarious; ac►d if they should be cut off, the
French, army must of courie retreat. The'great
efforts v Bich BLIONAPAIITE directed to be made on
the frontiers of Portugal, have paralysed ope-
ra ions of the French in tl4e Southern and eastern
parts of Spain, while the immense force under MAI-
SENA is moulderinig away, without having' achiev:d
any object proportioned to its strength, or to the
expectations of BUONAPARTE. But while we look
forward With sanguine expectations to the progress
of the war in Andalusia, and the eastern provinces,
we are not without hopes that some vigorous ef-
forts will be made in the north. The success
of the'expedition under Gen. PORLIER, has shewn
what may be done by a ban,lfull of men iin that

quarter; and from the exvriions which the Galli-
cins and Acturians have hitherto trnade, ti ere is
every reason to hope that they will not nqi ed to
avail thenisclvef of the advantages that are th )1v in
their power.

We mentioned yesterday a gallant exploit ner•
formed by the boats of his Majesty's ship Dre ad-
nought ; .the following cif-_!faiis are contained in he
Leiter of our Plymouth Correspondent which. a ve
rec.( iced this morning,dated September 12 :

'We stated yesterday that his Majesty's shi p
Dreadnought had arrived here with /a large ship ,
having been cut out by her boats near Ushant ;
the ship proves to be the Spanish vessel Antonio
Maria, Captain ASPILGA, fromleneriffet, bUrthen

about two hundred tons, with a Cargo of bA-
rilla, bound to London; she had been captUred by
a French privateer, and the following we understand
to be the particulars relatiVe to this, gallant exploit
that on the Dreadnought's coming round Ustiant on
the • evening of the 9th' instant, this Spanish
vessel was . discovered in a small creek, near
that place, and it was determined that she should
be brought out 'from thence on the fo3owing
morning at day-break, and, in consequence, at five
A. M. several boats, well manned and armed, pro.
ceeded to the attack, and on their approach were
constantly galled by a heavy fire of small 'arms, and
two 4-pounder field-pieces from the shore, which
did considerable damage to the boats ; notwithstand-
ing this, and. the loss of several of their brave corp.
panions, nothing could damp the ardour display-
ed by the British seamen; who, on nearing the ves-
sel, perceived the French soldiers leave her in the
greatest 'consternation and confusion, some of. which
were drowned in attempting to swim to the shore,
although she was within half pistol-shot
.from the
beach. During the 'time they . were
,bringing her
out, they were opposed to the destrudive fire of 600.
troops, and we are sorry to state, were notable to
return it effeduallY, as the French soldirs were si-
tuated on a tremendous precipice, and.secure from
any attack that could be made on them by so small
though brave a party. The losS on our, part is very
Considerable, and' which is the most painful part of
our duty to relate; it consists of a- Master's Mate, a
Midshipman, and 10 seamm killed, 2 Lieutenants,
andabout 20 seamen wounded ; there are 'also two
boats with their crews missing, that drifted 'ashore
during the heat of the action in consequence of
their painters being shot, through, and which are
supposed to have been taken possession of by the
enemy. The privateer that captured this vessel, was
discovered in a small creek, about a mile, from her
prize, but did not make any attempt to render her.
assistance; and in consequence of the severe los-s on
our part it was not deemed proper to attack her."
Ansther letter says—

".Among the killed we arc sorry to mention
-Lieut. MIDPLETON, and Mr. ROBERTSON, Midship-
man. Lieutenants. ALTON and BLACKLIER are
among the wounded."'

The opponents of the Union, in Dublin, who are
at present so busily employed in endeavouring to
effect its repeal, seem to entertain the most strange
and incorreEt
,notions respecting •the real nature of
that measure, as will appear from the questions
proposed to the Recordr.of Dublin for his opinipn.
The Committee wet on. the 10th instant to receiv‘e,
the opinion of the Reco►der on three papers sub-
mitted to him :--

The first purported to be, an Address to his Ma-
jesty the King, 'guesting that he would be pleased
to call a Parliament in Ireland. To- this the Re-
corder objeaed, that if it was intended that the
Parliament so to be called were the Irish Parliament,
it would be impossible for his Majesty, who was
as much bound by the Laws of the Realm as his
poorest xnbjeet, to comply, while the Union A&
remained in force.

The second paper was a petition to his Majesty,
praying his aid to dissolve the Union.. To this the
Recorder said, in his opinion it would be more ad-
visable to pray his Majesty to direct his Ministers to
prepare an AA to.be laid before Parliament for that
purpose.

—the third paper was answered in the same man-
ner, as to the mode of proceeding, which was all
that he was bound to advise; without going into the
subjea : he thought it best to refer to the next
Quarter Assembly, to draw up petitions to the dif-
ferent branches of the Legislature,. praying a repeal.
" Upon the whole, (says an• Irish Paper) though
it was confessed Abet the proceedings hitherto had
been irregular, it was with some reludance the Corn-
mitee consented to corre& them, fearful that at the
next Quarter Assembly, Loth Houses:. would not be
found quite so mad as at the former.!'

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses
Av-
GUSTA and SOPHIA, took and airing in Windsor Park
till twelve o'clock. The Royal Party was accompa-
nied by Lady ELY, Lord WALSINGHAM, &C.
Princess AMELIA remains much the same as she
has been for some da)S past.

. .
Letters from Gibraltar of the 22d of August, state,
that the enemy had abandoned St. Roque and Alge-
siraq, and the circuit of territory adjacent to the Bri-
tish fortress.

I'l►e Masters of the American vessels at Chris-
tiansand, in Norway, have published the following
answer to the reasons giVen by the Danish Prize
Court for condemning the Hannah, of Boston, as
stated in yesterday's Paper :
.‘ We, the unders.gned Masters of American vessels, now
in the port of Christiansand, having heard with astonish.
ment thar some of the principal charges brought against the
American brig Hanuah, from Boston direst, bound to Riga,
and a market, and condemned at the Prize 'Court at this place,
are as follow

" Ist. That the said Court have prononnced it absoltitely
impossible to cross the Atlantic Ocean without a chart of the
same.

" 2d. That it is equally impossible to cross the Atlantid
without the aid of sextant.

•' We therefore feel fully authorised to assert, that we have
frequently made voyages from America to Europe without
either the above chart or sextant, and are fully persuaded
that every seaman, with common nautical talents or skill,.
who has e•rer crossed the AtlAntic, cannot h...smate to sub•'
scribe io the same."
Christianard, Aug. ro, a

tcerises ate eotV gratited for imports frotrethe
Baltic, to expire on the tir3t of January, tBI 1 , and
tkose f►►rmerly issued, that terminate at an carlier
pe►iod, are to be extended to that date.

Some letters have been received from Parish which
state that a report prevailed there, that • the Arch-
&lke CHARLES would soon be declared King. of the
Romans.

The following areextraas of letters from persons
of ihe highest respe6tability :
" CADIZ, AuO. 23.--Yesterdayevening an expe-
dition sailed from this port. Its destination is at
present unknown, but it steered in a Northerly, di-
rection. It consisted of 3,500 Spanish troops, .300
British seamen, and 1.50 marines, carrying- with'
them two pieces of cantinn,.gun-boats, scaling lad 7
ders, and combustibles.'"The troops are under Gem
Lacey, who has as second in command under him
Colonel Cruz,. who made the famous gallant stand
at Lerrein with the volunteers of thistity at the time
of the defeat of General Castanos in Arragoii: The,
greatest hopes are entertained, from the combined
plans of our Generals, and the critical situation in
which the French are pMced.itfAndalusii.

_ .
" AUG. 25.—The Packet 'ha's been detained by
order of the English Ambassador, that he might be
able to transmit to his Court an account olthe result
of the expedition which sailed on the 22d. Its des-
, tination is supposed to be Moguer, or 1-Inela, and from
thence to march and join a division of the army of
WillaSteros, on its road to Seville. ' This divison is
stated to have defeated the army of Mortier. The
Spanish cavalry, it is' added, (lid wonders, It is said
.that Blake is, advarxing in the direction of Seville
with his army of the Centre of Murcia. • It is cer-
tain that he carried with him•orders to th-it etf:ct.

".All. the provinces manifest the greatest enthu-
siasm in the cause we are einbakted in. The'farmers
in and about Cuidad Rodrigo, after colleaing what-

The musical afterpiece composed by -Mr. CoN-
DELL, is to be one of the'firstnovelties brought for-
ward at Covent-garden Theatre, as soon as it is

In conseqtenee of the settlement that has taken
place between, Mr. Sheridan and the Drury-lane

ceiving that they ought to be burthened with addi-
tional charges on 'account of persons retained by the
Patentees, but not necessary in the condua of the
Theatre. This point, it is said, has been conceded
ce,deri by the Proprietors, and harmony bas been
fill re-established.
SHERIDAN'S obje& in waiting on his I‘l4
JRStY last week, was to solicit a renewal of, the
license, under which the Theatre has been conduct-

authority of the dormant Patent, alleged to be null
and void on account. of disuse, has been fully dis-
cussed and • settled. Considering, however, the
magnitude and variety of intere,ts depending ion
that patent, it is by no means likely that the ob-
jections will be rigidly and 'pertinaciously enforced.
