FRENCH PAPERS.

PARS, JULY 31.

The Duke de Berri will set off next Monday for
London. It is supposed that his Royal Highness
will be absent about eight days. He will be accom-
panied on his journey by four Aides-de-Camp.
The Monileur cif the 31st contains a long report of
a meeting held on the IGth July, by the Central Vac-
cine Society of Paris, at which the Baron De Chalrol
presided in the absence of the Minister of the Inre-
riur. After he had addressed the Meeting, M. in-
delot, President of the Central Committee, declared,
t'l.rt the results of vaccination in France had, during
t'le last year, surpassed those of arty preceding ones.
" It is now proved," said he, " by the correspondence
of the Prefects with the Minister of the Interior, that
groat contagions of the Small-pox have ceased, that
the general mortality is diminished, and that the po-
pulation has considerably augmented in the depart-
IllentS, in proportion to the more general employment
of the preservative.
4, The Committee conceives that it has now ap-
proached mach nearer to the object towards which it
has been anxiously tending for 14 years, and the pros-
pect of which, more or less distant, has invariably sti-
mulated its efforts. This object is the total extinction
of the Small-pox in France."
M. Hasson, Physician to the Hotel*Dien, and the
Lyceum of Lpriis le Grand, Secretary to the Society
and.the Canard Vaccine Committee, read the Report
of the Progress of Vaccination, in the year 1812. 'J'his
Report is divided into two parts. The first explains
the measures taken by the Prefects, Stib.Pretects,
Mayors, Arcbbishopi, Bishops, and inferior Clergy,
'to establish the practice of vaccination in their respec-
tive krisdictiros. •
It all!!Wil that all thepublic functionarinhave united
their efforts, to follow the impulse given to them in
1312, by the Minister of the Interior, and that they
have zealously vied with each other in fulfilling the
intentions of the Government.

In the second part the C( mmittee has collected am.
pie proofs of the innocence and immense advantages
01 vaccination, extracted from the correspondence of
the Prefects with the Minister of the Interior, and that
kept 1, p by the Committee %4 ith all the medical men
engaged in the new innoculatiqn.
'Tice diminution if mortality has invariably been
proportionate to the activity employed in propagating
vaccination. Thus at Nantes there died of the
Small-pox :

In 1809 219 Persons.
1910 189
1811 77
1812 49

At Strasburg the number of deaths by the same
disease were:
- In 1803 518 Persons.
1807 284
• 18t1 14
1812 1

This dinsinuti.,n of deaths is always proportionate
trithe augmentation of the number of persons vacci-
nated. In forty-three Cornmunes 'of the Dtpartment
nt the Oise, it appear* that the number of deaths of
children under the age of 12 years, during the ten
years meet:int the introduction of vaccination, was
13,770, and in the last ten years 10,310, being a di-
vittiution of 3,?60' during the latter period.
Thenatnral consequence of this -ditninution of the
rn'rtality, is an increase of the population. Thus in
,the department of the North, the number of inhabi-
tmits, which 1806 was 839,838, amounted in 1812
to 871,657, being an incrase in six years of 31,821
re, eons.
From the statements received it appears, that in

1812, 724,893 persons were vaccinated in one hon.

Bred and six departments, and tf...t the total number
who-hare tinet rgone this rperition since its lntroduc•
tit* in France, is V 55,765.
The Committee could have wished to propose in
tl;e Minister, as in preceding years, to grant prizes and
red th to those prat titicners,t‘ho have been so ze
lott%ly engaged in propagating vaccination ; but the
'with allotted by the former Government in 1812 and
I Kl 3, fur the purpose of rewarding them, having been
emisloyed, previously to the fall of that gnvernment,
. . .

. _
srir other services, it is absolutely impossible tit grant
them this year the recompense so justly due to their
etc; dens.
