THOROWGOOD SMITH, Mayor of the city of baltimore. ____________ (M) From the New- York Evening Post. The following came inclosed to a respecta- ble correspondent of this city : Co'W-Pock Inoculation. The following facts are laid before the public for the encouragement of those who entertain any doubt respecting the efficacy and success of Vaccine Inoculation, and to confirm others in their good opinion ol that inestimable blessing. In March, 1800, having previously in- formed myself of the safely and efficacy of the Cow-pock, I began to inoculate my two parishes, Leckhamstead and Akerly, near Buckingham. I was induced to do this at that particular, time, because the Grand Junction Canal was in its progress to my immediate neighborhood, which, like every other great work employing vast i bodies of men from distant quarters, would probably introduce the small pox. It was my wish that the laborers of these parish- es should have the benefit of the high wages , given on such occasions, without be- ing exposed to the danger of that dreadful pestilence. Having been in the habit of administer- ing medicines to the poor, my offer to ino- culate them was very generally accepted ; and especially as most of those people are employed in milking. The common answer of such persons to my proposal was, ¦' Ife all hwiv that nobody ever died of the Co-w- pock, and tve all kno'W, that nobody ever had the small-pox after it : But •what an odd thing it is that any body should think oj inocu- lating ninth it .'" For my part I thought it very odd, these two facts being so generally known, that no one should have attempted it sooner. I had no intention of proceeding in this practice beyond my own parishes; but I was soon applied to by a clergyman, to whom I have been for more than twenty years curate, to inoculate at Greens-Norton, ncarT'o'Wceste, thesmall-poxhavingbrokeout in two famlies. I readily consented on condition that he would prepare the minds of the people, to whom I was but little known. In this he met with opposition, and in the result, about five-hundred per- sons were inoculated with the small-pox and t'wenty-cight by me, with the Cow-pock. I started the same day as the hired inocu- lator. On the eighth, I inspected the par- ties, and finding that they were all decided- ly infected with the cow-pock, I desired them to give what assistance they could to the people, who were falling very last with the small-fox, and in great distress for nur- ses ; tivo-hundred, at one time, being in a helpless condition. Of these twenty-eight patients of mine, many slept with small-'f>o% patients, and even with some, who died in a most dreadful condition. The neighboring villages were satisfied with this test, and in the following month I inoculated more than one-thousand persons, who were apprehensive, that a very great fair at Towcester, on old May-day, would spread the small-pox over the whole sur- rounding country. On the application of clergymen and 6ther respectable inhabitants, I have inoculated, within ten miles of my residence, upwards oi four-thousand seven-hundred persons, many in situations greatly exposed to infection. 7n trie Autumn 1S04, flic- ra- cing among the people employed ut tlu; tun- nel of the Grand Junction Canal, 1 inocu- lated in the neighboring town of Stoke Bru- ern, Shuttlehanger aud Paulertpury, five- hundred and seventy. In the summer o£ 1805. I inoculated tivo-huna'rrd and seiienty at Pcttersrmry, the small-pox being at , that time in two h.uses oi the villa; In the'"whole of my practice I have .in- flexibly avoided accepting any fee orpresent, except in two instances, where I had no choice. lam therefore not to be treated otherwise than as an independant evidence. In that character I make the following de- clarations : 1st. After a practice of more than six years no inoculation has ocurred of any one inoculated by me being afterwards infected with the swcill-pox. adly. I never, during that period- have seen a single arm, that required surgical as- sistance, or any other dressing further than a little oil, or milk and water. 3cily. I never knew an instance of a life being endangered, or a taint left in the con- stitution, by the eow-pock. On the con- trary, I can produce persons wha (late a pe- riod of health unknown before, from tiie turn of the ctfw-pock. The disease having apparently a tendency to cleanse the consti- tution. If any candid person wishes to be more fully informed, let him devote a fortnight to the full investigation of this statement, on the spot ; I promise him the use of my lists, and recommendations to fit persons in every parish where I have set my foot : and this is the only method I propose of sup- porting the above assertions; as local bene- fit to n ;, neighbors, and not public fame or emolument, has been the object of J. T. A. REED, Curate of Leckhamstead and Akerly. Nov. 8. 1806. RUSSIAN MANIFESTO. The events * hicb hava spteatl over Eu- rope the horrors of bloodshed and desolati- on, from an insatiable thirst of conquest and a'ggrandremeht in the present usurped government of France, are manifest to the wh le world. Our endeavors tj set bounds to this evil, and to preserve I'he tranquility and integrity 6f powers in alliance with us by pacific measures, all proved ineffectual. The perfidy with which the common enemy violates the sanctities cf treaties and the rights of nations, threatening Europe with universal devastation, incited us at lust to take up arms in support, of neighbor- ing kingdoms. The series of disas- ters that befel the Austrian armies, obliged that monarch to conclude a disadvantageous peace, on terms dictated by the ambition of the conqueror at the dire necessity of circum- stances. Alter this, Prussia, vainly attempt- ing to check the mischief by the establish- ment of a general and solid peace, through the means of negotiation, notwithstand.ng all her sacrifices for the sake of preserving an alliance with France. Notwithstanding all her compliances with the demands of this common enemy, could not long reniain exempt from the calamities of war. Lulled into a state of delusive security by the pros- pect of peace, which she vainly hoped toen- joy, and the mistaken confidence she repos- ed in a treacherous ally, she was sudden- ly plunged into the very abyss of ruin. The armies of Napoleon, falling on the (Prussian troops before they had been able to unite, defeated them, and made an easy conquest of the defenceless capital, and siez- ed the greatest part of the provinces of that kingdom. " In such a situation of affairs, seeing this neighboring power which divid- ed the western borders of our empire from France, destitute of all further means of defence, it became indispensibly necessary for us to advance our armies under the com- mand of field marshal count Kamcuskoy, for the defence of our territories, menaced on that side with an hostile invasion ; and having implored the protection of the Al- mighty, who ever espouses the cause of the just, we ordered every effort to be made for the defeat of this dangerous assailant, who, in the proclamation he has published, carries his audacity s© far, as openly to threaten that he will extend his triumphs even over our dominions. " At the commencement of this inevi- table war, the whole burthen of which, after the total c-erthrow of our allies, de- volves upon our country, we consider it our first duty to redouble our unceasing efforts for the preservation of the tranquility and integrity of our empire, by augmenting and collecting the armed force of a faithful, brave and magnanimous people, entrusted to our administration by Almighty Provi- dence. The miseries which have (so rapid- ly overtaken the neighboring powers, evince the necessity of recourse to unusual means, to great and vigorous measures, which can only be carried into effect by a zealous at- tachment to our country, by a manly firm* ness of spirit, and a true sense of nationa} honor. A people really inspired and actuat- ed by sentiments of that description) arming in a body, may raise an jnsurmountsbl* rampart against every hostile attack, howe- ver formidable. Neglect in providing for their internal security, by such general ar- maments, during the present contest with France, in opposition to her system of plun- der and rapine, has been attended with the . most pernicious consequences to. Austtia, and not a little contributed to the d.cwnfa'l of Prussia. Their fate was determined by the loss of a few battles, after which the enemy, meeting no obstacle, and no no opposition from any unarmed populace, suddenly forced his way through the- infe- rior provinces, spread devastation and terror- by his rapid and violent depredations, des- troyed the scattered remains of a routed ar- my, and effected a tctal overthrow of their empires. The bravery of the Russian troops, and the victories which their unexampled firmness, for the course (of a century past, |
