complains of intolerable pain in the fmall of his back, and in the calves of his legs; but the last appears to be the most violent. During twelve, eighteen, twentyfour, or thirty-fix hours, thefe fymptoms continue increafing, except the quicknefs and hardnefs of the pulfe, which do not change materially during that time, and are then fucceeded by general coldnefs, cold fweat, a greater or lefs degree of coma and delirium, or a ftate very much resembling intoxication. Life in this ftate is lengthened out to fixty or ninety hours from the firft attack. A fhort interval of reafon then takes place; the patient confiders himself better, and is for a moment flattered with the profpect of recovery; but a fit as fudden and unexpected as the firft comes on, during which he foams at the mouth, rolls his eyes dreadfully, and throws out and pulls back his extremities in violent and quick alternate fucceflion. In general the patient expires in this fit; but fome have recovered from it, and continued rational for a few hours longer, when a fecond fit has carried them off. This has been the general progrefs of the difease in its worst form; and indeed there have not been many deviations from it; the principal of thefe were, the general fymptoms coming on withont any preceding convulfion. The patient has been in fome instances, comatofe from the very commencement of the difeafe; others have had the disease ushered in by a fucceffion of fhort convulfive fits, and it has afterwards been marked with constant delirium and cold clammy fweat, without any intervening heat of surface, &c. The difease too, in a few cafes, has feized the patient in the manner oft other fevers come on; that is, with fhivering and a fenfe of cold.

"My mode of using the calomel fince the re-appearance of the difeafe, is to give ten grains to an adult patient as foon as possible after I fee him. This generally acts as an aperient in the degree required, about an hour or two after it is given. At the end of three hours I repeat the fame defe without opium, if the firft had not purged more than twice. At the end of three hours more, the fame quantity is given, adding opium or not, as the preceding dofes have acted. In this manner ten grains are given every three hours till the falivary glands become affected; which generally happens in less than twenty-four hours from the commencement of the treatment. The

effect of the medicine given in this man-
ner, may be perceived after the third
dose in general; the patient becoming
calmer, lefs reftlefs, lefs anxious; his
fkin being fofter, and poffeffed of an a
greeable heat; the stomach being perfec-
tly retentive, however irritable it might
have been before; and the eyes recover-
ing their former luftre and fenfibility:
When, at length, falivation takes place,
the patient is left free from disease, wi
a moderate warm moisture on his fkin;
and very foon after, figns of returning
health are indicated by calls for food,
&c. The recovery of frength is pro-
portionally rapid to that from difeafe;
nor is it at all neceffary to have recourfe
to bark, or any other medicine whatfo-
ever."

POETRY

POETRY.

For, swift as thought, the puddings, jellies, pies,

Contract their giant bulk, and fhrink to pigmy fize.

From the table now retreating,

All around the fire they meet,
And with wines the fons of eating
Crown at length the gorgeous treat.
Triumphant plenty's rofy graces
Wanton in their jolly faces,
And in each countenance ferene
Mirth and cheerfulness are seen.
Fill high the fparkling glafs,
And drink the accustomed toast!
Drink deep, ye valiant hoft,

And let the bottle pafs.
Begin the jovial strain!

Fill, fill the mystic bowl!
And drink, and drink, and drink again.
For drinking fires the foul.

But foon, too foon with one accord they nod;
Each on his feat begins to reel,

All conquering Bacchus' power they feel,
And pour libations to the rofy god.
At length with dinner and with wine oppreft,
Down to the floor they fink, and fnore them-
felves to reft.

What are my crimes? A poor tame cur am 1, Though fome will fwear I've inapp'd them by the heels;

A puppy's pinch, that's all I don't deny ;

But Lord! how fenfibly a great man feels! A harmiefs joke, at times, on Kings and Queens.

A littic joke on lofty Earls and Lords;
Smiles at the fplendid homage of Courticenes,
The modes, the manners, fentiments, and
words:

A joke on Marg❜ret Nicholson's mad Knights;
A joke upon the fhave of cooks at Court,
Charms the fair muft, and eke the world de-
lights;

A pretty piece of inoffensive sport.
Lo, in a little inoffenfive fmile

There lurks no lever to o'erturn the ftate,
And King, and parliament ! intention vile!
And hurl the Queen of nations to her fate.
No gunpowder my modeft garrets hold,
Dark-lanterns, blunderbuffes, masks, and
matches;

Few words my fimple furniture unfold ;

A bed, a ftool, a rufty coat in patches. Carpets, nor chandeliers fo bright, are mine; Nor mirrors, ogling vanity to please ;

INSCRIPTION UNDER A BUST OF Span iels, nor lap degs, with their furs fo fine

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. Feb. 2. Mr Pitt made a motion, that a congratulatory address be prefented to his Majefty, on the increase of the Royal Family, by the birth of a Princess ;" and alfo, that congratulatory meffages be fent, on the fame occafion, to her Majesty, and the Prince and Princefs of Wales, which were agreed to nem. con. Sir John Sinclair now rose, agreeably to the notice he had previously given, to bring forward his motion on waste and uncultivated lands; he moved, that the order of the day for a committee be read, which was read accordingly--the report being received formerly, the refolutions were read. In confequence, he said, of these resolutions, he now rose to move for leave to bring in a bill on that fubject. It would have been, he said, his duty to go into it more at large than he meant to do at present, particularly as it was under the confideration of each member of that House; he would, therefore, only now take the liberty of flating, whether it was not, in whatever light we confidered it, whether civil or military, a queftion of internal policy for that House? Had this measure, faid he, been formerly adopted, we would not now be under the neceffity of expending a million of money, for the encourage ment of importing corn from foreign countries; his reasons therefore for his prefent motion were, in order to prevent the neceflity of having recourse in future to fuch measures; he would therefore move for leave to bring in a bill," For the improvement, divifion, and inclofure of wafte and unclutivated lands." This motion was agreed to nem. con.--Sir John then moved, that on this day fe'right, the Houfe fhould refolve itfelf into a committee of the whole Houfe, to confider the propriety of granting a bounty on raifing potatoes, which was agreed to.

on that head, might be expected from his Majefty's Ministers.

Mr Pitt faid, that none further, at prefent, could be given.

4. Certain papers from the bank were prefented, read, and ordered to lie on the table. The contents ftated, that Exchequer bills had been iffued, to the amount of L. 2,000,000 Sterling, towards the liquidation of the national debt; alfo accounts from the commiffioners of the cuftoms, which were read, and ordered as above.

8. Mr Manning presented a petition from the merchants of London, praying that the House might take into its confideration, the inconvenience that trade and the fhipping experienced in the Thames, and that wet-docks might be formed to remedy that inconvenience.

The petition was opposed by the city reprefentatives.

The Lord Mayor faid, he rofe to oppofe the petition, and stated the objections of the corporations, viz. that the trade of London would be carried out of the city, by this means; and that a new London would be raised, which would carry all the trade from the old. The corporation would, he said, produce a plan, which would accommodate all parties. He did not rise to state any thing pointedly against the merits of the petition, but merely to fubmit the objections of the corporations of London to the confideration of the Houfe.

The petition was referred to the confideration of a committee; the faid committee to be composed of the city members, and the gentlemen of the long robe.

Mr Grey prefented to the Houfe, a petition from Sir Francis Blake, whose object was the payment of the national debt, by parcelling it out amongst the proprietors of land. On the motion of Mr Grey it was brought up, read, and ordered to lie on the table.

10. The Houfe in a committee of Mr Grey faid, that prévious to the ad- fupply, Mr Rofe moved, that the fum of journment, a meffage had been brought 2,500,000l. to be raised on Exchequer down to that Houfe, from his Majefty, bills, be granted to his Majefty, for the by his ministers, that the crifis had at extraordinaries of the year 1796.---Orlength arrived, when the fituation of dered. He moved alfo for provision for affairs in France held out a profpect of the pay and cloathing of the mili treating for peace; but that fince he had the year 1796.---Ordered. Mr Rofe moheard nothing farther on the subject, his ved, that the farther fum of 2,000,000l. reafons at prefent for rifing were to Sterling be raised on Exchequer bills, by know, whether any further information, way of loan, for the year 1796; and that VOL. LVIII.
