The French Government has stated to
That of His Majesty, that the frank and lionorabJe
manner m which tl?e President lias, in
his recent message, expressed himself with
regard to the points of difference between
the Governments of France and the United
States, has removed those difficulties ujion
sthe score of national honor, which have
thitherto stood in the way of the prompt
execution by France of the treaty of 4th
July, 1831, and that, consequently, the
French Government is now ready to pay

the American indemnity, w henever the payment
of that instalment shall be claimed by
the Government of the United States.
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.

Government of France, by which it has
bejn accepted; but looking upon the Brif.

each other; and the undersigned has also to
assure Mr. Forsyth that it has afforded the
British Government the most lively satisfac.

Iiave received a communication
from tliat of France, which fulfils the wislies
that impelled his Britannic Majesty to offer
iiis mediation fur the purpose of officii tig
an a nicable adjustment of the differences
between France and the United States; that
the French Government, being satisfied with
tic frank and honorable manner in which
the Fresidunt has, in his recent message,
expressed himself with regard to t!ie points
of difference between the two Governments,
is ready to pay the instalment due on account
of the American indemnity, whenever
it sliall be claimed by the Government of
t.ic United States, and that this communication
is made to the Government of Great
Britain not as a forma! mediator, but as a
common friend of both parties.
The undersigned has submitted this note
of His Britannic Majesty's Charge d' Affaires
to the President, and is instructed to

created bv the erroucous impressions here,
toibrc made upon tlie national sensibility of
France.
By the fulfilment of the obligations of the
convention between the two Governments,
the great cause of difference will be removed,
and tlie President anticipates that the
benevolent and magnanimous wishes of
His Britannic Majesty's Government will
be speedily realized, as the temporary es.

so essential to the prosperity, and congenial
lo the wishes of the two nations, and to the
repose of the world. Leaving his Mo'r ty's
Government to the consciousness of ujc elevated
motives which liavj governed its
conduct, and to the universal respect which
must be secured to it, the President is satisfied
that uo expressions, however strong,
of his <*pwn feelings, can be appropriately

of the House in each week to be appropriated
to that purpose; the abolition
petition presented on Monday of last week,
by a Mr. Uriggs, (we believe) was taken up
and postponed to Monday next. This vote
was afterwards reconsidered for the purpose
j of deckling the [lending question of order

the Speaker stated the question of cr- *

been presented, or might be thereafter pre- c

Tho firstformal meeting of the Board of Health

and Dr. Malloy, Secretary. C

ox in town, and none nearer than nine miles? n
11 the cases are on the other side of tho river in a

ha Town Council, and announce it to the public, d

There is constantly stationed at tho Chcraw ^
ridge an efficient guard to prevent suspicious j
ersons from coming over. 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
