Nantes, Feb. 4.  There is shewn in this city a girl of
nineteen, born in Poitou, who speaks without a tongue. 
After the small-pox, which she had at eight years of age,
her tongue putrified, and came entirely away.  During the
two first years which followed this accident, she remained
speechless, making a noise only like a dumb person:  After
that she began to talk a little, and asked her mother very
distinctly for a piece of bread.  she has ever since
retained the use of her speech, and sings very easily.
