favourable. In the Report of last year it was observed, that 
the small-pox was extinguished at Milan, and at Vienna, 
in which latter place for many years the average mortality 
from it had amounted to 800. 
From Malta information has been received, that not only 
His Majesty’s ships are supplied with lymph to vaccinate 
such sailors as may not have had the small-pox, but that 
the children of the artificers of the Dock-yard, and nearly 
3000 Maltese children, have been vaccinated by the Insti- 
tution there (gratis): and itis added by Mr. Allen, the 
surgeon of the Dock-yard, that daring a residence.of seven 
years at Malta, he has never known an instance of one of 
them being afterwards afflicted with the small- pox. 
Russia has likewise participated in the benefit of vacci- 
nation. It was introduced into the Russian empire in 1804; 
and since that time, in its various provinces, 1,239,637 have 
been vaccinated ; and so uniformly successful has yaccina- 
tion been, that it bas been termed, in the language of that 
country, the pock of surety. Dr. Crighton, physician to 
the Emperor of all the Russias, observes, supposing (ac- 
cording to a well-founded rule of calculation) that before 
the introduction of yaccination every seventh child died 
annually of the small-pox, vaccination has saved the lives, 
in the Russian empire, of 176,519 children, since the year 
3804. 
The Government of France appears to have taken the 
greatest pains to secure to the people all the advantages 
which could be derived from this discovery. A central 
institution was soon established at Paris, to encourage and 
to promote the practice of vaccination, and a similar plan 
for the same purpose was adopted in every considerable 
provincial town. These provincial institutions were not 
Jong ago ordered to make a return to the Government, of 
the state of vaccination in their several districts. From 
these documents a Report has been drawn up by Mr. Ber- 
thollet, Percé and Halle, philosophers of the first reputation, 
and submitted to the class of physical sciences of the Im- 
perial Institute; in which it is afirmed, that of 2,671,662 
subjects, properly. vaccinated. in France, only seven cases 
appear of patients having afterwards taken the small-pox ; 
which is as 1 to 381,666. It is added, that the well- 
authenticated instances of persons taking the small-pox 
after inoculation for that disease had perfectly succeeded, 
are proportionably far more numerous; and also that in 
Geneya, Rouen, and several other large cities, where the
