The Journals of Marseilles announce, that the Barbary powers have at length surmounted their religious doctrine of destiny, which forms so strong a link in the musselman code, & have taken precautions against the plague by establishing quarantine regulations. It is a subject of gratification to see a prejudice so dangerous in its nature giving way to the dictates of prudence and common sense; and if this precautionary system be generally adopted, it is reasonable to infer, that, in time, the plague may be wholly exterminated.
