    SUPPLEMENT TO THE MADRID GAZETTE , Of the 14 th October , 1806 . On Sunday ,, the 7 th of Septemberlast , Dr . Francis Xavier Balmis , Surgeon Extraordinary to the King , had the honour of kissing his Majesty's hand , on occasion of his return from a voyage round the -world , executed with the sole object of carrying to all the possesssions of the crown of Spain , situated beyond the seas , and to those of several other nations , the inestimable gift of Vaccine Inoculation .
