By intelligence from Philadelphia, 
which arrivedin this country a few days 
fince, it appears, that, about the middle 
of Aucuft, the inhabitants were greatly 
alarmed, in confequence of a contagicus 
fever having appeared in that city and 
its neighbourhood, of which feveral per- 
fons had died. . 
After confulting the coliege of phyfi- 
cians at Philadelphia, refpeéting the ex- 
iftence of this malady, the government 
of the United States immediately adopt- - 
ed fome falutary regulation, to prevent 
the farther progrefs of the calamity. 
On the 7th of Oétober, the American 
négociators, Mr. Pinkney of South Ca- 
rolina, Mr. Marfhali of Virginia, and 
Mr.’Gerry of Mafiachufets, were pre- 
fented to the minifter for foreign af- 
fairs at Paris. The appointment of thete 
citizens, unverfed in diplomatic chica- 
nery, and the machiavellifm of cabinets, 
augurs a fortunate iffue of the negotia- 
tion. :
