TO THE RIGHT HON. ROBERT PEEL,

PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE TOE THE HOME DAPAZTAILvT.
National Vaccine Establishment, Percy-sate;
January 31, 1822.
Six—Vaccination has now been submitted to the test darotb.
year's experience, and the result is an increase of our cunfid.
in the benefits of it. We are happy to say, that it ai,p,arts
have been practised more extensively than it was, norwiihsu -
ins the influence of exaggerated rumours of the frequent occi
fence of Small Pox subsequently on the minds of some {terse
and the obstinate prejudices of others, who still continue to adoi,
Inoculation for that disease. The unavoidable consequence n
the latter practice is to ►upply a constant source of infection, arA
to put the merits of Vaccination perpetually to the sever st trial
Of Small Pox, in the modified and peculiar form winch
assumes when it attacks a patient who has been previous:v
cinated, many cases indeed have been reptAted to us in thtl
course of last year, and some have fallen within the spuere
our own observation; but the disorder has always run a sztti
course, being uniformly exempt frcm the secondary fever,
which the patiel4dies most commonly when he dies of Small 1'07.1
For the truth of this assertion we appeal to the tesriny ny ct
the whole medical world. And fur a proof that the numba of
such cases bea's no proportion to the thousands who have pr
fited, to the fullest extent of security, by its protecth4 iriluenct
we appeal confidently to all who frequent the Theatres at
crowded Assemblies, to admit that they do ant discover in
rising generation any ►onger that disfigurement of the Lunt
face, which was obvious everywhere tome years
To account for occasional failures, of which we redih
the existence, something is to be attributed to those anti,

which prevail throughout Nature, and which the Physician of
serves, not in some peculiar constitutions only, but in the
constitution at different periods of life, rendetiug tht hum.ti &a:
at one time susceptible of disorder from a mere chunge of t.
wind, and capable, at another, of resisting the mo,t
and subtle contagion. But amongst the most frequent A,,u:ces
_ .

failure which have occurred, and will for some time continue
occur, is to be numbered that careless facility with which un:
ful benevolence undertook to perform Vaccination iu the eat
years of the discovery ; for experience has taught us, that a
inquiry into the condition of the Patient to be vaccinated,
attention to the state of the matter to be inserted, and a vig:

observation of the progress of the vesicles, on the part of the ni
rator, are all essentially necessary for its complete success.
That less enlightened parents should hesitate to accept a n•
stitute for Inoculation, which is not perfect in all its pretensiot.
and absolutely and altogether effectual to exempt the objects c
their solicitude from every future possible inconvenience, d-es
not surprise us: but we cannot forbear to express our untieal'
fled reprobation of the conduct of those Medical Practitioners,
who, knowing well that Vaccination scarcely occasions the
slightest indisposition, that it spreads no contagion, that in
very large proportion of cases it affords an entire security a,;...inst
Small Pox, and in almost every instance is a protection ag..inst
danger from that disease, are yet hardy enough to per,aere rw
recommending the insertion of a poison, of which they
pretend to anticipate either the measure or the issue (tor Lo
cernment is able to distinguish those constitutions wht,::)
admit inoculated Small Pox with safety) ; and there arc i.•
families so dangerously affected by all the eruptive disea,
they fall into imminent hazard in taking any of them.
mark has a particular application to Small Pox.
A family lost its two first born children of dr.: Snr.:l
inoculated by two of the most skilful Surgeons of the nor
is it improbable that the parents might have had to lame::: the
loss of more children, under the same formidable diac2se, if the
promulgation of the protecting influence of Vaccination ls,d no!
happily interposed to rescue them from the consequences of
repetition of the fatal experiment. Of their remaining chikiren,
one took the Small Pox after Vaccination, and went throtr;lt
in that mild and mitigated form which stamps a ea:::e upon thii
resource, as real in the eye of reason and sound plsiiosoeliy, zs
whets it prevents the malady all together.
We have contended, Sir, for this its merit with all :he rit•wel
of our understanding, and with all that just and fair yretensicr.
Ito convince others, to which we are entitled, by being firmly art
sincerely convinced ourselves. Nor shall we relax in our & •r.
to promote its adoption, but continue to exert the infiue%ce
which the benevolent designs of Parliament, in establishing this
Board have given us, for extending the benefits of this salt:tart
practise.

That the blessing is not yet absolutely perfect we are rea.:: t3l
admit ; but when we compare it with inoculation for the Sr:Ji
I'ox, the only alternative, we have no hesitation in statini,
the comparison affords an irresistible proof of its superior ci.:ims
to regard ; for we learn from ample experience, that the tic:n:':-T
of cases of Small Pox, in the safe forni which it is fouril tJ
sume after Vaccination, is by no means equal to the numter
deaths by Inoculation ; an evidence quite irrefragable, and, as l`
appears to us, decisive as to the incalculable advantages of the
practice of the first over that of the latter method.
The number of persons who have died of Small Pox tLii vet::
within the Bilk of Mortality is only 508; rot more than me-
thirds of the number who fell a sacrifice to that disease the ye.:r .
before : ;tad as in our last Report we had the satidaction of
stating that more pet soLs had been vaccinated chain; the re-
ceding than in any former twelve months, we flatter ours•lves
that this diminution of the number of deaths truth Small r:s
may fairly be attributed to the wider diffusion tit Vaccination..

the purpose of re•invesang in Consols. By the following cal-

We dare say most of our Readers are quite tired
of the contradictory reports that are made day after
day respecting the Russian ultimatum, and get
%%earl of conjecture" as to the negotiations between
E.ussia and Turkey. One of the Morning Papers,
which is seldom hasty in its opinion or incorrect in
its information as to foreign news, stated very confi-
dently, more than a fortnight ago, that the Ottoman
Porte had accepted the terms offered by Russia. Ano-
ther Journalist, who eulogised the good faith of the
Northern Autocrat until the publication of the last
demand made upon Turkey, has repeatedly stated
that the negotiations had been amicably terminated,
the advices by the next post has compelled him
t, admit that the affairs in the North of Europe were
s:ill enveloped in mystery.
For ourselves, although we have never denied that
the dispute between Russia and Turkey might be ad-
justed without going to war, yet we have always con-
tended, and do still contend, that unless the other
Powers of Europe interpose in the most decisive
manner, Russia will, either by conquest or negocia-
tion, enforce her demand of occupying the two prin-
cipalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. On-some other
points of her reported ultimatum, she might, perhaps,
make some concessions; but from this point she will
not be driven. In this view of the subject, which is
the one we have always taken, we are borne out by a
document which we insert in another part of this
day's Paper: it is an official Note from the Ottoman
Porte tr) our Ambassador, and is dated the 2d of
lle,-,:mher. In this Note his SUBLIME HIGHNESS de-
c;ar es that he will never " commit the detestable act
u: violating Treaties ;" and calls upon Russia, as a
aiminar y basis of negotiation, to execute the Ar-
ucle relative to the surrender of the refugees, whom
tht fiublicne Porte claims in virtue of Treaties. The
demand by Russia of the two Principalities, is said
by the Porte to have for its object, that she may
‘c acquire importance in Europe in causing her will
to be obeyed." On the subject of the refugees, as
Russia declares that she will not give them up, the
Porte, in her wish for general tranquillity, agrees to
" adjourn her just claim." The demand that she I
should evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia, is declared
to be " a point entirely incompatible with the inter-
nal regulations of the Sublime Porte," and " a thing
contrary to the rights of men and nations." The
Sublime Porte then proposes to " modify this affair
as a last resort," in the following manner :

" Until the rebellion shall have ceased, the Sublime Porte
shall cause the tw•o Provinces to be guarded by the Officers
whom she has placed there, and by the number of troops neces-
sary to protect the country against the brigands, without allow-
ing the Rajahs to be molested or vexed in the least degree; she
shall conhde to the Greeks the affairs which concern the Princi-
palities, as is done at this time to the Caimacans, who are also
Greeks, and for the present the evacuation of the provinces, and
the nomination of their Princes, shall be deferred."

Thus it will be seen, that up to the 9cl of December
no progress had been made in the negociation, which
remained in the same state that it had been for many
months previous. how far the interposition of the
English Ambassador, on whom the Ottoman Porte
places the greatest reliance, may mitigate the de-
mands on one part, or induce concessions on the
other, we know not; but at present it will be seen that
;he two Powers are at issue on one of the most im-
portant points of the negociation. " The quarrel," as
Sir Lucius O'Trigger says, " is a very pretty quarrel,
and explanation would spoil it."

t appeatsbv a private letter from Paris, that the
animosity of the French towards the Swiss Guards is
by no means extinguished. While some of the sol-
diers of one of the Swiss Regiments in the service of
France, was di inking at an inn in Orleans, where they
weie in garrison, a dispute arose between them and
some inhabitants who were sitting in the same room ;
after having quarrelled they left the place, and the
►►ews of this debate soon spread about the town. The
inhabitants were gathering and forming into groups
in diffetent parts of Orleans, and the ferment became
ge.net al among the lower classes; meanwhile arrived
from Paris the 45th Regiment, composed of Fi ench
soldiers; they took part for the inhabitants against
the Swiss, and began to attack them separately ; se-
veral duels were fought, and the combat would have
ise._ni a general one, had not the Commanding Officer
toi,tiiied the garrison to their barracks, and given or-.
des to the Fi each lt%inient to leave the tow nat night.

WEST4MINSTER MEETING-VITS DAY.

A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster took
place this day in Covent-garden, to consider on the
distressed state of the Country.
The Chair was taken at one o'clock by ARTHUR
MORRIS, Esq. the High Bailiff.
The following Members of Parliament were on the
Hustings :—Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Mr. Hos-
nous; the Members for Westminster; the Hon. H.
G. BENNET, Mr. HUME, MI. S.C. WHITBREAD, MT.
WEFILL, of York, Mu. FYSCHE PALMER, and a num-
ber of the Gentlemen who take an active interest is
the Wesminster Meetings.
The Htou BAILIFF opened the business of the
Meeting by reading the Requisition in pursuance of
which he had convened it, and entreating that they
would give a fair and impartial hearing to every
person who thought proper to address them:
Mr. STURCII then proposed the opening Resolution
in a speech in which he strongly dwelt upon the ne-
cessity of a Reform in Parliament.

A series of Resolutions were afterwards put and
agreed to, in substance as follows:
That it is the decided opinion of this Meeting, that the distress
which has for several years pervaded the country, pressing some-
times more severely on some classes, and at other times more
severely on other classes of the community, will continue to in-
crease, unless the People be fully and equally represented in the
Commons House of Parliament.

That a Petition be presented to the House of Commons,
complaining of the distress which pervades the country, and also
of ether serious grievances, and praying for a Reform in the
Commons House of Parliament, and that it be presented to the
House of Commons by our Representatives, Sir Francis Bur-
dett and John Cam Hohhouse, Esq.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to Joseph Ilume
Esq. for his great exertions in unmasking and exposing to the
view of the People the enormous waste of the public money—
for his perseverance in the face t.f such obstacles as no man un-
acquainted with proceedings in the ;souse of Commons can
appreciate—for the unexampled courage he has all along dis-
played, which has always increased as attempts have been made
by the enemies of the People to put hint down, and to stifle in-
quiry, by scorn, contempt, and insult.
That Mr. Hume be requested to pursue the straight forward•
course he has entered upon, satisfied, as we are, that be will
convince every person not a dependent on corruption, that many
millions of taxes may be taken off; and hopeful as we are, that
when the People see that taxes cannot be taken off while the
House of Commons remains as it is, they will join us in de-
manding a Reform in that House.
That the Thanks of this Moeting be given to our worthy Re-
presentatives, Sir Francis Burdett and John Cam Holthomse,
Esq. for their zeal and active exertions on all occasions in behalf
of the People.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to Arthur Morris,
Esq. the High Bailiff, for his ready compliance with the Requi-
sition, and for his impartial conduct in the Chair.

Yesterday, hii Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
had a very full Levee, as Commander-in-Chief, at his
Office in the Horse Guards. The following General
Officers were pi esent, besides about forty others:

General Sir B. 'Carleton, General Sir George 'Nugent, Gene-
ral Gascoigne, General Balfour, Lieutenant-General Sir Tho-
mas Hislop, Lieutenant-General Maitland, Lieutenant-General
Sir llHes Nightingale, Major-General Sir H. Lowe, ,Major-Ge-
neral Sir James Lyon, .‘lajor-General Sir Thomas Bradford,
Major-General Browne, Major-General Brooke, Major-General
Huskisson, Major-General Carey, Major-General Foley, Major-
General Buller, Sir George Gunning.

Edtl FiTzwiLLtam has directed a permanent re-
duction to be made in the rents of his farms on the
Wentworth esta:.e of from 22 to 25 and 30 per cent.
an abatement equal to that which his Lordship has
recently made on the Milton estates.
- - -

The Earl of LONSDALE, it is feared, has lost his
sight, and is about to undergo the operation of
couching.
Advices from Calcutta to the 13th of September,
were received yesterday. According to recent letters
from Sincapore, that settlement was in high health
and prosperity, and it. is said now to be fully estab•
lished as the emporium of the Eastern Archipelago.
Malacca is quite deserted ; and not a vessel repairs to
it, except fur refreshments, or a few peculs of spices.
Whilst many of the Dutch stations had been ravaged
by cholera anoits, neither Sincapore nor Bencoolen
had been visited by it—a circumstance ascribed by
the natives to the good luck of the English.
Letters from Rio Janeiro, of the 13th of December,
bi ing intelligence of the capitulation of the important
fortress of Callao, which is stated to have surrendered
to the forces under General Sax MARTIN, on the
19th of September. The Royalist troops, composing
the garrison of Callao, were, it is said, on their march
to Arequipa, and it was supposed they would be per-
mitted to embark for Spain, from some port in that
neighbourhood. Trade was in a declining state at
Rio Janeiro, and the exchange had fallen to 49} to
.50. No steps had been taker by the PRINCE REGENT
for removing to Europe. The order for his recal,
which arrived by the last packet from Lisbon, had
caused much dissatisfaction among the inhabitants;
and a Petition to the KING and to the Cortes, to allow
him to remain in Brazil, had been prepared, and had
received the signatures of the leading citizens. The
same packet which brought thePnt see's recal brought
also an order to proceed to the election of the Junta.
News had arrived from Mocambique of the deposi-
tion of the Governor of that place, and the appoint-
ment of a Provisional Junta. The Bank at Rio de Ja-
neiro was conducting its affairs well, and was likely
to place them on a prosperous footing.
The Bridge-street Association is countermanding
the trials of the prosecutions which stood over on ac-
count of the challenge to the Jury last December. In
the two against BENBOW and one against DOLBY,
and in Mr. Ther.waLes and KING'S cases, notices
of the intention not to try have been served. The
only case standing in the paper is the one against
DOLBY, in which the challenge took place.

- -
A detainer has been lodged against the resurrec-
tion-men now in Reading Jail, who robbed Clewer
church-yard, for taking from the church-yard of
Maidstone, in Kent, five bodies, which they were
detected carrying. off in a cart at night by an likeite
Officer, who suspected them to be smugglers.

board; site is very curiously constructed, and has been running
for several years. She was driven into the Humber during the
late gales, and had the temerity to anchor close by the Repulse
Revenue cutter, by which she was hailed. The reply was, the
" Mary, of Plymouth, bound to Hull in ballast." This was re-
ceived as correct, as nothing in her appearance indicated the
contrary ; but the following morning, to the surprize of the cut-
ter, she stood out to sea, and as this excited a strong suspicion,
Captain WILLIAMS immediately followed and brought her back.
A close examination then took place, but still nothing could be
found, until Captain WILLIAMS received some private informa-
tion which led to the capture. She has a complete double bot-
tom, the entrance into which is by a couple of short planks,
which have the appearance of ceiling, and cannot be distinguished
from the rest, but on removing some cork and putty, which
appeared to he the heads of tree-nails ; some screws similar to
bed-screws were found; on taking up the planks the timber and
outside plank appeared as usual, but this was also a deception,
as they constituted another hatch nicely fitted, and on removing
this there was a space between the bottoms of eighteen inches to
two feet. She is said to have been in this port with apples, and
about six of a similar description, are now running. She is a
sloop, resembling a pilot-boat, but somewhat larger.
