THE

HE alternate smiles and frowns of our fitful and coquetish climate, have recently appeared to produce in more than usual abundance, rheumatic, catarrhal, and the more strictly pulmonary, affections.

Two of the most important cases, in the treatment of which the reporter has been concerned during the last month, were instances of pleuritic inflammation. Pleurisy is one of the few diseases in which bleeding is imperiously demanded; more especially when it occurs in the unimpaired constitution of early youth. Even at an age farther advanced, and when the springs of life have been somewhat worn, venesection may and ought to be had recourse to, although in a more cautious and sparing manner. But in most of the other derangements of the frame in which it is usual to employ the lancet, the writer of this article still adheres to an opinion which he has so repeatedly expressed, that it cannot fail to prove often a cause of the eventual, sometimes of the almost immediate, extinction of vitality. In the different interruptions, for instance, of nervous ener

which are exhibited in apoplectic and aralytic paroxysms, the first thing which generally thought of, is to open a vein; as if we should most effectually relieve actual exhaustion by substracting the vital fluid, or as if the best mode of restoring impaired or suspended powers, were to have recourse to that evacuation which of all others seems best calculated to produce the extreme of debility! The immediate administration of brandy, or some other powerful stimulus, is, in the majority of such emergencies, more obviously indicated than depletion of any kind, more especially of blood. To use a metaphor which has been almost worn out in the service of these reports, we ought to blow the nearly extinguished

fire, instead of scattering with a careless extravagance, the fuel which supports it. In cases likewise of confirmed ptysis, there can be little doubt that bleeding proves generally injurious, by the weakness which it aggravates or occasions, In instances even of hopeless consump tion, it hastens the march of an inevitably fatal malady, it hurries those steps which are unalterably pointed towards destruction. By no dexterous management of the reins, can we turn this disorder out of its course, but we may restrain, in some degree, the rapidity of its progress, and cause it to move at a more leisurely and easy pace to the grave.

Several recent cases have demonstrated, or rather illustrated to the reporter, the inexpediency of mothers who are sickly and consumptive suckling their children. Without considering whether the taint or germ of any specific disease can be comme nicated through such a medium, there cau be little doubt that the milk of a healthy cow is preferable to that which is secreted by the breast of an unhealthy woman. Many female parents are apt in this way, to inflict upon themselves as well as their infant offspring, serious and ineparable mischief, from a mistaken seast of maternal obligation. Violations of duty are sometimes not, more injurious than erroneous conceptions, with regard to its dictates and its limits.

The only other case which the re porter means at present to notice, s that of an unfortunate man who became a victim to the disastrous issue of a riety of commercial speculations. The same blow which deranged his a produced a disorder of his reason. Hs finances and his faculties fell together. The phantoms of imagination indeed survived, and seemed to hover over the ashes of his understanding. The demos of speculation, which had before mis

his mind, now possessed it entirely. His projecting spirit, which was always more than moderately intrepid in the maniacal exaltation of his fancy, took a still bolder and sublimer flight. Some of his schemes reminded the reporter of another madman, who planned, after draining the Mediterranean, to plant it with apple-trees, and establish a cyder manufactory on the coast.

In such cases, we do not so much pity the insanity as the misfortune to which it owed its birth. In better times it has been remarked by professional writers, that it was not the unforeseen depressions, but the unexpected elevations, of fortune, which most frequently gave rise to mental aberration.

SWEDEN.

THE late king of Sweden, Gustavus IV. resides at Basle, in Switzerland.

TURKEY.

A French army under General Marmont is forming on the frontiers of Turkey; and it is reported at Vienna, that the Austrians are to take part against that empire. The avowed object of the projected coalition, is to compel the Porte to break off all connection with England.

Mr. Adair, the British ambassador at Constantinople, has addressed a letter to Mr. Merry, the consul at Smyrna, in which he says, that the French government had insisted, on the grand signior going to war with England; but that the threats of France had been disregarded, and every demand injurious to our friendly relations with Turkey, rejected with indignation: that power being determined to assert its independance to the last, to adhere to its treaties, and, if necessary, to put forth its whole force to maintain them.

ITALY,

On the 28th ult. was published at Rome an imperial decree, dated at Compiegne the 17th of the same month, according to which, every ecclesiastic, secular, or regular, in that city, not being a native of the departments of Rome or the Trasimene, was, within fifteen days from the day of its publication, to withdraw therefrom, and to repair to his native diocese. Natives of the two departments specified were also to retire from the city to their respective dioceses. All the secular priests resident at Rome were, within two days, to present themselves before the director-general of the police, and to declare their names and places of nativity, and their intention of obeying the imperial decree. The superiors of con. vents were, within the same space, to deliver in lists of the clergy under their superintend. ance. Special provisions will be adopted as to the Irish, Scotch, Sicilian, Maltese, Ar. menian, Greek, and Asiatic clergy; and all others who may be prevented, by political

circumstances, from returning to their own countries.

FRANCE.

A French decree relative to American property in France, dated so far back as the 15th of March, was published on the 8th instant. It orders that all American property under sequestration shall immediately be sold: that all Americans shall depart without delay from the French territory, under pain of being arrested; and that the decree shall be sent to the powers of the north for their adoption. This measure was suggested by the act of the American legislature, who some time ago decreed, that all French and British ships entering the ports and waters of the United States, should be liable to be sequestered.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

The late king of Spain, Charles IV. still resides at Marseilles, with his spouse, the queen of Etruria, and the prince of peace.

Dispatches have been received from lord Wellington, at Almeida. The brigades of Generals Hill, Payne, &c. were concentrated on the Turon, and occupied Rio Seco, St. Pedro, &c. The advanced corps under General Hill being at Castle Bom, within about ten miles of the head-quarters of the
