The fcarlet fever retains the fame 
mild form as during the lat month. It 
does not fpread much within the city, 
put extends to the adjoining villages 5 
mere efpecially on the fouthward of

Stockwell, Mitcham, Streatham, &c. &c. 
The vaiieties of the fore-throat, men- 
tioned in the lift of acute difeafes, have, 
as I underftand from other practitioners, 
been very prevalent during the two lak 
months. ‘They.were, however, im ge- 
nezal, more troublefome and lingering 
than dangerous.

during the irregular temperature of the 
air, at the latter end of July. Smee the 
commencement of warm, fettled wea- 
ther, I have not obferved any inflamma- 
tory complaint. in 
The {mall-pox and hooping-cough 
are yet very generally diffufed, and feem 
much aggravated in confequence of the 
heat of the feafon. Thefe two com- 
plaints have been intimately connected 
for feveral months paft, In many im- 
ftances the paroxy{ms’ of the cough 
have continued, without any abatement, | 
through the whole courfe of the fmall- 
pox. The hooping-cough, in opher cafes, 
firtt commenced during the eruption of 
the fmall-pox, and remained a long time 
after it without any material alteration. 
Thefe obfervations fet afide a general 
law infifted on by many phyfiologtits, that 
two fpecific difeafes, at leaft, two {pecific 
contagions, cannot actuate the human. 
conftitution at the fame time. That the 
operation of one contagion is, in fome in- 
ftances, fufpended, while the body is 
under the influence of another, may be 
granted ; but I am convinced, from a 
variety of cafes, that this is not an uni- 
verfal-law. 

STATE of PUBLIC AFFAIRS 
In Auguft 1796. 
GREAT-BRITAIN. 
MY the King’s proclamation, of the 30th 
+’ of July, the Parliament, which ftood 
prorogued to Thurfday, the 15th of Sep-

laid upon all thips and veffels then within 
the ports of this kingdom, or which 
fhould come into any of the faid ports 
Jaden with any gcods or merchandize 
taken on board in this kingdom, which 
“may be bound to any of the ports in the 
territories of the grand duke of Tufcany, 
“or in. the dominions of the Ecclefiattical 
ftate; the embargo to continue till the 
further order of the board. , 
At the fame time, an order was iffued 
from the privy council, regulating the 
payment of-bills of exchange, drawn or 
negociated in the town of Leghorn, prior
