Different fpecies of cutaneous difeafe 
Rill prevail. Of the meafles and the hoop- 
ing cough there are alfo numerous cales. 
By the report of feveral medical friends, 
we underftand that the fcarlatina angi- 
nofa begins to {fpread at the weftern part 
of the town; but that, at prefent, it ap- 
pears under its milder form. ‘This ob- 
fervation will apply very generally to the 
ftate of this difeaie, when it occurs at 
the prefent feafon of the year. Its firft ap- 
pearance in the fummer months 1s feldom 
attended with any very alarming fymp- 
toms. Lhe affe&iion of the throat is for 
the mo part incenfiderable, and the 
fymptoms of fever Icfs urgent. It puts 
on a more malignant and dangerous ap+ 
pearance in the later months of the year 5 
and its train of fymptoms approaches 
more nearly to thofe of the angina ma- 
ligna. 
From the report of the bills of morta- 
lity, it appears that the {mall pox has 
proved particularly fatal during the lait 
The number ot deaths in the 
month of July, is confiderably large 
than was. ftated in any of the foregoing 
months. This may, perhaps, be attri- 
buted to the increafed degree of heat; as 
this difeafe frequently appears in its mott 
malignant form during the hotter months 
of the year.

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, 
In Auguff, 1798. 
RUSSIA. 
OME late ordinances of the govern- 
ment of Ruffia, clearly evince that 
the favourite doctrine of all tyrants is to 
retain their fubjeéts in a ftate of igno- 
rance, in order to qualify them for vaf- 
falage. ‘To prevent the progrefs of li- 
berty, the emperor has attempted to check 
the expanfion of intelle€&t, and to deftroy 
the fource of knowledge through his em- 
pire. T he fchools, which, under the pa- 
tronage of the emprefs. were inftituted 
for the inftruStion of the lower elaffes of 
{ociety, and feveral private feminariés for 
the inftruétion of the middle order, have, 
hy a public order of the emperor, been 
fupprefled ; ignorance being confidered 
efiential to fubordination. 
The Swils in Ruffia have been. com- 
pelled to renounce their country, while 
the government of it is in the hands of 
the French.

An important victory is faid to have . 
been gained, on the 29th of May, by the
