paft, been in the habit, as a baker's apprentice, of carrying heavy burdens of bread to great distances, the preffure of which was calculated to produce cepha23 lia, and to aggravate the pre difpofition to his original diforder. Since, in confe3 quence of professional advice, he has relin. 8 quished this occupation, his fits have oc29 curred more rarely, and affume a lefs 5 alarming appearance.

It is well-known, that it has been constantly administered with advantage in a variety of other spasmadic affections.

A perfon, who had been, for a confide rable time, tortured with the colica pictonum, was foon restored to comparative eafe, and gradually to Imot his accustomed health, by opium rushed noon the furface, and thus mechanicaly forced into the interior of his frame, moren de instance of the beneficial eff kacang ton this particular mode of medici al apptication, have long fince been recorded in thefe Reports.

In the treatment of diseale, it cannot but appear defirable to attempt is cure by those means which act universally and impartially on the body, rather than by those which operate, although not folely, yet more immediately, and with peculiar force, upon the delicate nerves and fibres of the ftomach. The health, and of course comfort of man depend, in a great degree, upon the due vigour of his powers of digeftion, which, by the inordinate and unseasonable use of drugs, have, in too many inttances, been gradually impaired, and, at length, irrecoverably destroyed. This has been found more especially to be the cafe with those either fafionable or plebeian hypochondriacs, who are incesfantly having recourse to doctors and to doses, in order to relieve the ennui of indolence, or to fupport the languor of an effeminate and enervated constitution. Such an exiftence as their's may, out of courtesy, be called life, but it pofleffes none

instances like these, as well as in many
others, draughts and pills may appear to
produce a good effect; but, from a pa-

doubt, that the restoration to health
fometimes takes place, independently, or
even infpite, of the medical treatment, and
not in confequence of it. There is an ob-
fervation in one of the works of a sensible
and ingenuous medical water, which may
appear merely a bon-mot, but in fact
is not entirely without foundation :-
That "there is a great deal of difference
between a good physician and a bad one;
but, in a large proportion of cafes, very
little between a good physician and none

This is not to be understood as an illfounded libel, or illiberal reflection, upon that department of life to which the Reporter himfelt belongs. The philofophy of the human trame, in the vast variety of its morbid and healthy conditions, he has long regarded as the most dignified, the most certain, and the most important, in the whole circle of the sciences. But, when the profeffion is mechanically pursued, merely as a trade, it finks into the most corrupt and degrading of all commercial J. REID. occupations. Eaft ftreet, Red Lion-square, Νου. 25, 1802.

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS,
In November, 1802.

FRANCE.

HE French papers have been latterly filled with details of the progress of the First Conful in his vifit to the fea-port towns. The fulfome addresses presented to him on these occafions, remind us of an anecdote of honeft Richard Cromwell. -Many years after his refignation of the Protectorship, he was visited in his retirement and obfcurity by an old friend, who, observing a very large chest in the corner of a lumber-room, was defirous of knowing its contents" That chest (replied Richard) contains the lives and fortunes of all the good people of Great Bri

Many conjectures have been employed concerning the object of this celebrated perambulation. Some have imagined that its intention is to conciliate the people, and particularly the constituted authorities and the military; some have fuppofed that it was to acquire a more accurate knowledge of the state of public opinion; fome, that its object is the refforation of the French navy, and to make himteif accurately acquainted with the ftate of the coast. If, however, the journey has originated in any thing of real importance, it is probable that it is to one point the attention of the Contul has been directed, and that his progress from place to place is intended to cover and conceal the real object object. But, after all, it is not unlikely that he has been actuated solely by the de. fire of gratifying his vanity, and by no other motive. Men are often deceived in alcribing every motion of political perfonages to fome public caufe: they forget that they are still men, "with like paffions as themselves."

Whatever may have been the motive, it is, however, probable that the Chief Conful will derive fome useful information from this progrefs. Obfervation is never loft upon fuch a mind; and, from remarking the state of manufactures and commerce in the most commercial parts of the Republic, it is probable that fome means may be suggested for their amelioration. The great feale on which his plans of public improvement are conceived, in fact deserve admiration. The opening the grand canal of Languedocthe union of the Mediterranean with the Atlantic-the vast defign of interfecting France by commodious and extensive roads and canals, are measures characteriftic of a great mind. Unfortunately, the grand error of the Chief Conful is an er. ror in principle. He knows not, that it is the fpirit of Liberty alove that can give energy and profpenty to a nation. He knows, not that the perfect security of private property must precede national wealth and grandeur. He who builds on any other foundation, erects a fabric on the fand. The public works which adorn our happy ifland, are not the works of the Government-they are the works of the People. Our canals, our bridges, our docks, our magnificent piles of warehoufes and manufactories, our plans for the protection of shipping and commerce, even the bulk of our charitable institutions, have resulted from the energy of the nation, the abundance of property, and the fecurity of that property however invested.

Until France shall poffefs civil and political liberty, and a code of jurifprudence in fome refpest analogous to that of Great Britain, neither will her manufacturers rival ours in industry, nor her capitalifts emulate the spirit of ours The means must be wanting to complete any one of the great undertakings which the Chief Conful is faid to have in contemplation, and we might almost apply to them the extempore epigram of Swift:

Behold a proof of Irish fenfe-
Here Irish wit is feen-

When all is loft that's worth defence,
They build a magazine!

Bonaparte, in truth, appears to be of that mixture of character, which is leis uncommon than is usually supposed, of splendid talents without the proper balance of judgment. He has hitherto been one of the most fortunate of mankind, and his unparalleled fuccefs has evidently in. toxicated him. When his good fortune once forsakes him, we will venture to predict his fall will be as precipitate as his rife was rapid." There is a tide in the affairs of men"-His has hitherto been an abundant low-the ebb will be dreadful and overwhelming.

The death of the Duke of Parma, whose dominions, by the late treaty, fall to the disposal of France, has given rife to fome speculations. It is yet uncerrain whether this territory will be annexed to the French or Italian Republic, or otherwife disposed of at the will of the Chief Conful.

There is one anecdote, which, as re flecting honour on the Chief Conful, it would be most uncandid in us to fupprefs, while we are engaged in a critical invetti. gation of his conduct. It is faid that Cambaceres, the Bishop of Caen, lately made application to the Prefect of Rouen to shut up forcibly the Proteftant Churches, which the Prefect refused, till he could receive further orders from the Government upon so delicate a subject. It is added, that when the affair was made known to Bonaparte, he fent for the Second Conful, and told him, that, " if the Bishop had not been his brother, he would have itruck him off the lift,"

SWITZERLAND.

By the unjust interference of France, this unfortunate country has had peace impofed upon it; but, if the Roman Orator may be trusted, "the peace of flavery is worse than the war of liberty." We are, however, fincerely of opinion, that both the Helvetic Diet, and the Powers of Europe, have acted on this occafion upon the foundest principles of witdom and policy. The Diet, on receiving the infolent proclamation of the French Conful, neither gave an actual refufal nor entirely submitted. One of its firit measures was secret. ly to address the great European Powers, and it fufpended its proceedings till their answer could be received. Through the medium of the Court of Vienna, it is faid, that anfwer was tranfmitted. It intimate ed that Auftria, without the active con currence of Great Britain and Ruffia, was unable to take any effective part in

the
