1t would be useless to FIJI columns in publish
ing the numberless testimonies that might be
sadduced to prove the iaestimable value OF Kline
Pock inoculation; for upon this subject, if up
on no other, prejudice itself has acknowledged
its utility. Suffice to say, DR.. Fancher has
come among us, in the pursuit of that business
which he makes his whole occupation, and he
has evidently come for our good, If we inn
prove his experience and abilities. Doubtless
the great majority of adults in this town have
been inocalated; but where they do not feel
satisfied that the pustule was genuine, they
will do well to have the system tested, wheth-
er it has undergone that change, which shall
forever preserve it from an attack Of the Small
POx. But those who have not been vaccina-
ted, or have children who have not, are un-
der an imperious obligation to themselves,
their families, their friends, and their fellow
citizens, to improve the present favourable
opportunity. The fee is almost nothing, be-
ing only one quarter the nsualcharge, GER
tainly cannot be bar to any one, for those
who are unable to pay, or who are in evident
poor circumstances, will receive the benefit
free from charge, and the rich, and those
possessing moderate property, can better af-
ford the expense, than risk the consequences
Of neglect. The season Of the year is pecul-
iarly favourable, more so than perhaps any
other month; and one confederation calls
for which this is preventive isagain making
its appearance upon such as have sighted the
remedy. One recently in New Haven has di-
ed, and two others have suffered all the tor
ments which this eruptive disease inficts, bare

several other places, but its ravages were We
ry limited by the prudence Of the people in
using the antidote which Heaven in mercy
has pointed out.
The most important foreign article which
presents itself to the American reader. but
especially to the commercial part Of commu-
nifty, is British Order in Council, which was
adopted ON the 2sth July last. and published
on the 18th of August, which goes to prohibit
a direct intercourse with American vessels to
the British possessions in the West Indies, az
| ter the first day of December This
| measure is intended as retaliatory upon our
Government, for refusing TO allow British
Shipping in the West India Trade to enter
our ports on the same terms and the same du-
/ ties as American ships from the same quar-
4 ter. The extra duty which is imposed upon
British tonnage is considered by that govern
ment illiberal, and the offspring Of = jealous
i spirit and the effect f this order will be "a
cut of all direct American trade with tbs
West Indies, or to force our government to al
ter that objectionable part of the Tariff Law
which gives preference to American Ship.
