The French Government has also stated That it made this communication to that of x'reat Britain, not regarding the British Government as a formal mediator, since its of. for of mediation had then reached only the Government of France, by which it has bejn accepted; but looking upon the Brif. ish Government as a common friend of the *WU puuvdy iillJ) UiUIVlUlVj *40 U if IIUIHI chi?uel of communication between llictn.

This vote was afterwards reconsidered for the purpose j of deckling the [lending question of order ! made last week. After some discussion < - ... . ? j wmcu was terminated ov tne previous question, the Speaker stated the question of cr- * [ er. as follows: j A petition having been presented for the i abolition of slaver)* in the District of Co. | hunbia. its reception was objected to.

We trust the disease rill not spread. Tho greatest danger perhaps is r ow from those who aro recovering, or have re- j overcd from it. We state the following fact to f aution the public on this point. g A friend of ours ten years ago, was infected in c 11 i..i > - ? j v.. ules aro recommenaea ana snouia ue care. ( jlly observed. The first of these regards ic time for tlie performance of the opera- ? on. Except under very peculiar circum. tances, it is not to be done sooner than the lird week after birth. The uncertainty of rganization being complete, and the ex- J rente delicacy and irritability of the new orn babe, are the grounds of this advice. fone of the trivial derangements of health J] icidcnt to the month, constitute objections > the operation. But where crusta lactea, J ' 1 V r herpatic eruptions, or, inaceu, any cuiu. eous disease exists, it is for the most part ladmissible. It is exceedingly difficult, in slis state of the skin, to get the virus to act, s nd when it docs, it is apt, as we shall pre- v ently show, to generate a mixed disease, v estitute of the property of protection aainst the small pox.* a Concerning the selection of the virus t< luch has been said, and it is doubtless of s reat consequence. European writers, in- c luding Jenner, seem generally to preiot the c ellucid fluid directly from the pustule, and d /? tlm ninfk a! IgU IIS UClllg lUIVUJi uil vi vwiuie tuu iiiuhi [j ay, or, in other words, prior to its becoming c pake or purulent, or the areola beihg form- j( J. That it is less active after this period, s 2ems pretty well established, though we w ave ample evidence that it is still efficient, b rovided the vesicle has not been opened, or c s peculiar actions disturbed in any mode. n Exposed, however, as it is to those contin- ], encies, perhaps it would be right to a banon the use of the transparent virus alto^ y ether, and substitute the scab. To the a itter practice we know of no objection, c, nd it is supported by several considerations. ^ First.?It allows the disease to run its ourse, free from the danger of changing tJ s specific character, by any artificial inter:rence. Secoud.?The virus embodied in the scab y lay, by the ordinary precautions, be much * mger preserved, even for a year or upards without vitiation or diminution of * ower. Third.?It affords a larger supply of matjr for an extensive propagation of the dis- p ase. o: ^ ic it r* ounii. x tie uuucuiijr ui MiibviiyM >v ?ssened by the ample portion of virus which a furnishes. Be it remembered, however, that there is u choice in the scab. Those which are hard a nd compact, of a dark mahogany color, and ith a regular well defined margin, should q uniformly selected. The pale greyish :ab, scaly or lamellated in its structure; p ith ragged edges, is always suspicious, voir liable to fail, or if it infects, produces an legitimate disease. In employing the scab, all ifee loose ports E 'hich lie on the inner surft\ce, are to be zraped off, and a small portion of the thick nd solid scab is to be pulverized and moistned to the state of a thick or ropy fluid. * with lukewarm water; if the water be too ^ luch heated, the matter will be injured.] is in the case of the pellucid virus, this " my be inserted through a small puncture* r scratch, or what succeeds better, to lay * on the skin, and work it in with the point w f a lancet, taking care not to cut so deep M s to occasion bleeding, which washes away ? le matter and defeats the operation, f "'I * We are told by Jenner, that even the sulpho. m >us impregnation of the akin, which takes place ^ i the case of itch, prevents vaccine infection. H 'o this purport, he relate? the fact of his inabil. n j to communicate the disease to a body of sol- & ten in this condition, who, after using the li rarm bath, very readily received it. 4 fOur own practice is to take a little of the mat. tf ;r upon the point of a lancet, and introduce it a arefully under the cuticle or skarfskin, which is 0 10 very thin membrane raised in blistering. It 0 wr be done as follows : Catch the lancet cs p The history of the progress of the dis. ase may be told in a few words. It almost ivariably happens that the incision heals so s scarcely to leave a vestige?any appear* nee to the contrary usually denoting com. ion inflammation instead of the specific ction of the virus. The infection sue. ceding, there may be seen, about the close f the third day, a small red speck, some, rliat elevated, which, on pressure, imparts ) the finger the sensation of its enclosing hard substance. This minute tumor pa. ually enlarges, and about the sixth day a mall vesicle is formed, having a round nargin, a flat surface, with a slight indents, ion in the centre, is of a pink color, which changes to a deeper red, with a mixture of due, and is darkest in tlic middle. Oo the teventh, eighth or ninth day, for the time is lot very precise, there is tlirown around the >ase ot the pustule an efflorescence like a ing, which spreads rapidly, and in one or wo days becomes a florid areola of an inch >r more in diameter. The vesicle is now at ts height, and the efflorescence throughout ts whole extent is tumefied, in which state ' t continues for several days, and then sub. tides and fades away. In the declination if the vesicle, the centre daikcos first, and he whole by degrees is converted into a lard smooth crust of a mahogany comolev. on. The crust drops off spontaneously in he course of the third week, leaving a suOfficial cicatrix slightly indented by tbecefe >f tlie vesicle. This is the development of the local af. cction. About the expirattOQ of.the sev?nth day, in adults, or children somewhat idvanced, in whom there is usqafly most lieease, the ordinary symptoms of fever ire manifested, and sometimes feven |o a considerable height. But these arretoer. illy slight and evanescent^?the onlyiBous complaint being soreness and tumefaction inder the axilla, [arm-pit] which cream in* 'ants exist?and hence we should he care* ul that they be not rawl l^liff jSsfr. o understand thtf^^^Sms dis* lisease, and no great attention, QS? to ordinary instances, is necessary to t&jaire ft. me peculiarities ot tne retHypnm wo iavc already and so recently (k3ft|5wib all ts stages, that we shall saynothiri^flfcrthcr egarding it.
