<3estro)ed, as not to possess any property capible of being excited into action even by variola it%elf. which amounts to a con¬ clusion of its entire destruction : forif the variolous matter cannot lind s pre¬ disposition in the system, capable of be- ins excited info action by its virus, then, there is, consequently, no disposition by which the disease can be produced. This brings us to consider the subject, as it respects its total extinction of tem¬ porary liability by vaccination, fn or¬ der to afford a fair ground for argument on this subject, the opposers of vaccina¬ tion ought to have shown Hie effects of vaccine virus on the system, and how it destroyed the predisposition of which they have spoken—and nlsn by what law of organic action or physiological prin¬ ciple, this liability was regenerated after its extinction. This, however, it is pre¬ sumed, no medical gentleman lias yet done. From an investigation of the laws of animal, or organic action, I am totally unable to comprehend any general prin¬ ciple, by which the system can possess the power of regenerating a liability to any specific disease, after ithasoncc been extinguished. The absorbents are, pro¬ bably, the principal, if not the entire class of vessels concerned in transmitting the virus of any contagion through the system; and this power in those vessels becomes destroyed by the effect of vac¬ cine matter. Then if those vessels are totally deprived of any ability to bring the system into any general concert of action by the application of variolous matter, it would amount to a conclusion, that they were able to change, or create anew, any predisposition, independent of exciting causes ; or this liability couid never be regenerated. But if is proba¬ bly the fact that no change of action can take place in the system independent of exalting cau-es, therefore it is believed that if vaccination destroys the liability to the small pox one month, oryear, that it ai$o destroys it for life. PHILD-VACCINATUM. Sin, FBH THE KIXGSTOX CHHOSICIE* LETTER 10. To ROBERT WALSH, Esq. A good account of the American war is yet wanting, and can hardly be written in the True spirit of history for some time to come. Its origin may be found in the peace of 176S. Had Great Britain consented to restore Ca¬ nada to France, the States of America had been still Colonies. Possessed of the navi¬ gation of the Lakes, and claiming a passage to Louisiana, with a complete command of the St. Lawrence on the one side, and the Mississippi on the other, the French would have kept the Colonists in continual alarm. They would have harrassed their frontiers made encroachments upon their territo¬ ries, and rendered it necessary for them to have been continually on their guard. But a state of permanent hostility would have been attended with an cxpence which the Colonists had not the means of defraying, and as they were incapable of defending themselves effectually against a nation so powerful, they would" have anxiously main¬ tained their connection with their mother country, and willingly contributed their share of the sums necessary to pay for their pro¬ tection. But no sooner were, they relieved from impending danger than they turned up¬ on their protpctor, and stung the hand that saved them from destruction. You endeavour, in this section, to prove that on the peace of I76S, the Colonies mani¬ fested the^ most affectionate lovaltv, and hence you infer the injustice of adopting any measures displeasing to children so kind and dutiful, and take occasion, afferthe.se preii- Hvnary/wwrks, to hold up thepnlfcy adopt ed in England to general execration. Von even hazard (lie assertion, thai the Colonies at this period entertained no designs ofinde- pendence, and are extremely angry with Chalmers and Robertson, who take the li¬ berty of asserting the contrary. As tin: truth of the whole of your sixth section depends i;pon the correctness or incorrectness nf Dr. Robertson's assertion, I will state what he says, and give a summary of what, you tri¬ umphantly call his refutation. Dr. Robert¬ son remarks that the league among the New England Colonies in I0W, "was a transac¬ tion in which they seem to have considered themselves aa independent Societies, posses¬ sing all the r'.vit.s ef Sovereignly, and free fr.ua the control of any superior power."— What is your refutation of this opinion of the historian—merely the necessity of the mea¬ sure—you cannot deny that it was a step to¬ wards independence : and your pled is that the situation of the Colonies, surrounded by enemies, required a measure of this kino. Now the celebrated author whom, in an evil hour,you talk of refuting, contents himself with stating the fact, its origin and natural consequence. If it was necessary, which may have been the case, the sanction of the Parent State ought to have been obtained, if not to its commencement yet to its continu¬ ance. But the candid writer of the life of Washington goes much farther than Dr. Ro¬ bertson, and ought therefore, to have experi¬ enced from you a double share of animad¬ version. ""The Colony of Massachusetts, having been settled by men whose political as well as religious opinions were strongly tinctured with the spirit of republicanism, had been conducted from its commencement ve- rvmuch upon the plan wf an independent So¬ ciety." (vol. 1. p. 101.) The whole history of the "New England Colonies justifies this lan¬ guage, and fully shows that independence was never lost sijrht of, although it was ne¬ cessary to cover it at times, and to wait for opportunities for its actual enjoyment. " The Governments of New England, leftvery much to themselves, had been in the habits of di¬ recting their own affairs as ah independent nation. Thev had carried on a free trade ■with the world. The Commissioners of the United Colonies (viz. those joined by the league of 1C43,) had held nesociations* with the French Colony in Canada on the subjects of peace, war and commerce, and in lfi'50 they had settled their differences, and adjust¬ ed their boundaries with the Dutch.5' (Life of Wash. vol. 1 p. 1K.) Again, p. 141, « In thisyear, IB51* war tvas declared against Holland. Accustomed for some, time to conduct their affairs in their own way, the United Colonies did not tiiin'c themaclvss in¬ volved in this contest unless engaged in it by <,>me iet of their own." If tnene are not sncantrOS which indicitc not men ly a wish, b\T. e.en thepo»9B:*Hion df independence, no traesacfions of Governments can. The his¬ tory ofthi *■ colonies proves beyond dispute *hat th> y never were attarntd to m *■ Parent tat, nc*' d! :-o;' d to yWA any obedience winch they could ovoid, cud were only held in some sort of subjection by thcirown weak¬ ness and fear of the French. It is true that in words they were often under the necessity of making submissions; but even in doing this they were slow and reluctant. "Mas¬ sachusetts" saysJudgeMarshaII(pl60)"sccms during the frequent changes which took place in England after the death of Cromwell, to have preserved a cautious neutrality, and to have been disposed to avail herself of such fa¬ vourable circumstances asmight occur, with¬ out exposing herself to the resentments of a- ny party, which might ultimately obtain the ascendancy. Although expressly ordered, she did not proclaim Richard as Lord Pro¬ tector ; nor did she take any Step to recog¬ nize the authority of Parliament. The first intelligence of the restoration of Charles was received with incredulity, and when informed in away not to be questioned they neither proclaimed the King nor by any public act evidenced their admiss on of his authority. This was not the only testimony of their jre- neral disposition. In the vessel bringing this intelligence^ Wfaaley and Goff, two of the Judges of King Cliarle.s 1st, came passengers, and were received with distinction by" the Government,and affection by the people." Is it to be supposed that these Colonies would have hesitated to throw off their dependence upon the British Crown af this period had they been able ? It was not till 1G01, a year after the restoration, that Charles 2d was pro* claimed King ; but .as if unable, says Judge Marshall (pl64) toconcr.-J the coldnesss and reluctance with which this step was taken, an order was made on the same day prohib¬ iting all disorderly behaviour on the occasion, and in particular directing that no man should presume to drink his Majesty's health, which, adds the order, he hath in a special manner forbid. In I7.-J0 the conduct of the Legislature of Massachusetts forced the King to declare thai he " should find himself under the necessity of laying the undntiful beha¬ viour of the Province before the Legislature of Great Britain, not only in the single in¬ stance of not conferring a permanent salary en the Governor, but in many others of the same nature and tendency, whereby it mani¬ festly appears that this assembly for some years past have attempted by unwarrantable practices, to weaken, if not cast off, the obe¬ dience which all Colonies Ottgfet to have &n their mother country." It would take up more space than is intend¬ ed for this letter to mention hajf of the proofs that independence, when strength and safety concurred, was never forgotten, and there¬ fore Dr. Robertson might with perfect jus¬ tice have made use of stronger language* AstoJhe enthusiastic joy manifested by the Colonics on the peace of 1703, it may be accounted for on other grounds than affec¬ tion for the mother Country. It removed from their frontier an inveterate enemy, who had long harrassed and alarmed them; it o- ncned for them new sources of trade, and lessened their dependence upon the Parent State. As usual all your authorities are Par¬ liamentary speeches"; their colouring and ex¬ aggeration best suit your purposes. They exhibit a strange phenomenon, men defend¬ ing the enemies of their country and strength¬ ening their hands till they become victorious. I am aware of taking unpopular ground ED saying any thins; against the American revo¬ lution ; but truth is not always agreeable, and after premising that I think thepolicy adopt¬ ed by the British Ministry after the peace of 1703 was unwise, I take the liberty of re¬ marking that the error they committed was very natural. The supremacy of the Parlia¬ ment had never been called in question, and was not doubted even by the chief promoter of the American Revolution, Mr. Otis.— This principle was assumed by Lord Chat¬ ham, in his famous proposal for reconcilia¬ tion in 1775, and after the dispute commen¬ ced it was never in the power of the Ministry to heal the breach. Tnat they were endea¬ vouring to lay a foundation lor arbitrary pow¬ er will hot be easily credited by any impartial person. During the war of t75fl more than a million of money had been voted to the Co¬ lonics to defray their extraordinary cxpen- ces, and three hundred thousand after the peace. This liberality does not appear very consistent with plans of immediate oppres¬ sion. It is worthy of remark that wfctfn the first bill for taxing America was brought into Porilament, i! me? with pn o»'r"!fmnr lb* political enemies oi the ftttniM.;.. who de¬ claimed afterwards so bitterly against it were at that time silent.

After wards, when the Colonies resisted, the Par¬ liamentary Opposition began to discover ar¬ guments in their favour, though they still ad¬ mitted that Great Britain possessed the su¬ preme governing and legi slative power, and bad always bound the Colonies, by her laws, and by her navigation and commerce—but a distinction was attempted to be made between this power and that of taxing, then not very evident. All parties allowed that external taxes might he levied by Parliament but not internal. The Parliament therefore conce¬ ded this point, and after repealing the stamp act, they imposed a trifling tax on tea. But the Colonies, as had been "foretold, began to exclaim, if the Parliament of Great Britain has no rjght to tax 03 internally it can have none to tax us externally, and if it has no power to tax us without our own consent, it n::5 none to govern or legislate, for us. It has been said that the Colonies would have been content with a limited Representation in Par¬ liament, but this fe extremely doubtful, for we have seen that they aimed at independ¬ ence from the beginning, and it. is more pro¬ bable that no concessions, no advantages of¬ fered them by Great Britain could have long availed. New differences would have arisen, and a separation have taken place. Moreo¬ ver, supposing concessions to have been ef¬ fectual, yet they could hardly he looked for after the violent measures "adopted by the Colonic?. Even granting that the acts of Parliament were unjust as well as inexpedi¬ ent, it was difficult to repeal them in the face of insurrection and defiance. As the contest has long ceased it might have been far better not to have entered upon the subject, but you bring it forward with so many flourishes of exultation that they must be checked. Let it then be remembered, that Great Britain, in imposing certain duties, was not actuated by a spirit of oppression, but a desire of ren¬ dering her protection more effectual, that the States had determined to be satisfied with no concessions, and that they had thanked Pro¬ vidence that they had arrived at growth and strength sufficient to resist the Parent State. These truths sufficiently repel the insidious attacks which you have made on Great Bri¬ tain in this Section. It is indeed true thai there is a timo when Colonics may be allow¬ ed Jo lay aside their leading Strings, and rise up in their place, among the nations of the Knrth; bat you Were not au'-malc till rue j'rench nvre dnv«-ii out of Canada, and *fter the contention commenced reason could not be heard.

The Queen.— The Chanceiler of the Exchequer mo veil that the house should resolve itself into a committee of supply, and aUo that the gracious message of his majesty to that house, together with the army estimates, and civil contingencies, should be referred to the said committee, which motions were severally agreed to. Upon the motion for theSpcaker leav¬ ing the chair being pUt^ Mr. H ime confessed, after what had been said by theimblc lord (Castlereagh) of the blessings Hhich this country had derived from tb§ auspicious rule of the House of Brunswick, he was anxious to learn the reason why so illustrious a branch of it as the queen ol these realms was suffered to remain unacknowledged; and from what be could collect abroad, he was afraid it was determined she should remain unacknowledged—(A cry of order!) He by no means intend¬ ed to allude to or circumscribe any re¬ medy that might be taken according to the rites of the church. Lord Castler.-agh thought the hon. member would have acted more advised¬ ly had he followed the opinion of the greater part of the nation, who, with be¬ coming delicacy, declined as much as possible entering upon this very interest¬ ing subject. The less it was agitated, he thought, the better; at the same time he assured the house, that the high per- looage alluded fo should experience no want of attention to her rank orcomforts at the hands of his majesty's government. Mr. Hume still persisted in having an explicit answer, how minister's could, out of the £50,000 intended to be mo¬ ved for in the committee, grant a suita¬ ble allowance to the queen. Lord Castlereagh replied, that had the hon. member waited :o hear the propo¬ sition of the right hon. the chancellor of the exchequer, he would be satisfied the subject bad sufficiently occupied the at¬ tention of his majesty's, government. Tuesday, February 22. The Queen.—On the resolution for granting £200,060 for enabling his ma¬ jesty to provide for the payments char¬ ged on tlic civil list. Mr. Tieruey asked of the chancellor of the exchequer, how any payment could be made to the queen under this grant. Mr. Vansittart said, the payment would be made as formerly to the prin¬ cess of Wales ; the grant was made to the person. Mr. Tierr.ey said, the grant was made to the princess of Wales, and there was now no such person in existence : and any person who should presume to pay the annuity granted to the princess of Wales to any person except the princess of Wales would be guilty of an oiience against the house of commons. Mr. Vansittart conceived the annuity was granted to the person and not fo the title, and therefore might be paid not¬ withstanding any demise of the crown. Mr.Tierney—To the Princess of Wales but not fo any other person. Mr. Vansittart S3id, he had nothing ma:' to add on the subject. Mr. Tierney believed the right hon. gentleman had nothing more to say en the subject, lie was aware the right hon. gentleman must not uttoriheword Queen. He would repeat that this grant was not to the person, but to supportthe title and dignity of Princess of Wales, and the Princess of Wales no longer existed.— If the right hon. gentleman should pre¬ sume to pay money to any other person he would incur a heavier responsibility than any person in his situation had ever done before. Tho Chancellor of the Exchequer re¬ peated his former opinion. The grant was made to the person in one political character, and might be paid to the same person, although that person was now known under another appellation. Wii aftucne cuuui uot conceive why the name of the Queen should not be intro¬ duced. Mr. Lusbington said this could not be done without introducing the name of every other individual mentioned in the Civil List. This was a grant to the King to be applied to the -ervice of the Civil List, as would have been done had there been no demise to the Crown. Mr. Tierney said there would be no Princess of Wales to receive it. Sir R. Wilson asked, under what au¬ thority this money would be issued ? The Chancellor of the Exchequersaid, under the usual authority, the grant of the House which had always been deem¬ ed sufficient. The report was then agreed to. Londox, Feb. 27. Speech of his majesty's commissioners in proroguing parliament this afternoon. " My lords and gentlemen—We are commanded by his majesty to inform yon that it is a great disappointment to his majesty, that on this first and solemn oc¬ casion he is prevented by indisposition from meeting you in person. It would have been a consolation to bis majesty to give utterance in thisplace to those feelings with which his majesty and the nation alike deplore the loss of a sovereign, the common father of all his people. The king commands us to inform you, that in determining to call without delay the new parliament, his majesty has been influenced by the consideration of what is most expedient for public business, as well as most conducive to general convc- Gentlemen of the bouse of commons— We are directed by his majesty to thank you for the provision which you have made for the several branches of (he pub¬ lic senice, from the commencement of the present year, and during the inter¬ val which must elapse before a new par¬ liament can be assembled. My lords and gentlemen—We are commanded to inform jou, that in ta¬ king leave of the present parliament, his majesty cannot refrain from conveying to you his warmest assurances of the sense which his majesty entertains of the important services which you have ren¬ dered the country. Deeply as his majesty lamented that designs and practices suchasthose which you have been recently called upon to repress, should have existed in this free and happy country, he cannot sufficient¬ ly commend the prudence and firmness with which yen directed your attention to the means of counteracting. If any doubt had remained as fo the nature of those principles by which the peace and happiness of the nation were so seriously menaced, or of the excesses fo which they were likely to lead, the flagrant and sanguinary confederacy which has lately been defected, must open the eyes of the most incredulous, and must vindicate to the whole world the justice and expediency of those mea¬ sures to which you judged it necessary to resort in defence of the laws aud con¬ stitution of the realm." London, March 2. The conspiracy.—On Monday last the well known Thomas Preston was ap¬ prehended at his lodging on a charge of high treason, and underwent an exam¬ ination at the Bow-street office.—He was detained in custody. Thistlewood is committed on charges of high treason and murder. Brunt for high treason only. The other nine for murder. There were no proceedings at the secretary's office yesterday in the case of th** conspiracy. There have been no arrests since Mon¬ day, nor have any further particulars of this horrid plot transpired. The precise time and mode of trial of the conspira¬ tors is not jet fixed.

He added, with tears in his eyes, that he had called the claimants together, not with a view to compound w ith their claims, but to make over estates of ^30,000 per annum, nQ. til their demands were liquidated.
