FRANCE. PARIS. OCTOBER ss Several iiviGons of the army on the Coaft will change their potations; but there is no truth in the report that the camps will break up and the troops march into sinter quarters. They will viut England before they Deep under any thing . elfe but canvas. It was yellerday reported, that the Emperor bad again fet out for the emit ; but 4on enquiry se found that his Majelfy was at St. Cloud, though little doubt remains, but that fudh a journey will be undertaken, particularly as the coronation is pnftpon. ed. The rumour is again common that the Expedi tion againft England will tail before that period. Vice-Admiral VlLLl,isuvs has left Rochefort for Toulon, where Ire is appointed Commander in Chief. • Vice Admiral Miser 'sr has fuccecded him as a Com mander of the (mall Cquadroo at R o chefort. Two more Spanifh flips, with twenty millions of dollars on board, are on their way from the Havan tab to Spain. Monfieur SALM, ei domed Prince SALM, and Au- Maur s TALL ttttt o, the Miniller's nephew, are ap pointed Chamberlains to the Emperor. It is reported that M. de V•UDltit/ILLI, our Charge d'Affaires to the Court of Madrid, • has re eeived orders from the Emperor, to notify, that his Nikita! &twirl fee with pleafure, all differences be tween his Catholic Majefly, and the United States of America, hex and amicably fettled. Little doubt exills but, that before now, the limits between Lou . ifiessa and Spanith Florida would have b:en arranged, bad ant Britilh gold and intrigues influenced the con ies& of one, if not both parties.—(ie Clrj dmCabinetJ. The Emperor hat ordered the Colonel of Engi ueers, Vrat.ssosse, to draw a cored map of the whole Elettorate of Hanover and the countries in its *kinky. It will contain all the molt advantageous military pardons in the event of a Continental war, and plans for (rating new fanfares. in cafe auy at tick from without tbould be apprehended. The privateer, Jofephine, of 44 guns, Fanny % of j 2 guns, sod Madame Murat, of 32 guns, failed from Ilnurdzins near a month ago, and as nothing bas been heard of them fince, they are fuppofed to be defined for the Eaft Indies. It is Paid, that the Zehprefs •and their Imperial Highneffes, Prince's' l a cers aad Muter, hove each a two-third fhare in I ads privateer, called after them, and that they have fly determined to give the wh ole amount of • Crates in the prim-money to charitable inflitu- s. Fanatics or impoflors are wandering in different parts of France, preaching the end of the world, peediding misfortunes, and printing and diftributing prophecies, containing the moll abfurd and terrible talcs, which agitate or terrify the lower dales of the people, who, from ignorance, are ready to catch at any thing furprifing . or miraculous. Thefe itine rant prophets are particularly bufy in Belgium ; in rianders, in the ei•dreast German Provinces on this file of the Rhine. and in the Weftern Depart ments, where the inhabitants are lets enlightened, sad more fuperftitious, than in other parts of France. It is (aid, that the incorrigible adherents to the def perste elute of the Boutbons employ and pay with /kit& guineas thefe men, at prefent devoid Chrif titans, but, in fad, fcaadalous and criminal hypo crites at —many of whom, ten years ago, were the trio, intolerant atheifts and cruel perfecutors of the barren in the Chrillian Religion. The Prefect of the Depict -unapt of Lys bas canted three of thefe falfe prophets to be tak en up, who, upon examina tion, were found to have been members of Revolu tionary Committees in the Reign of Terror, though v.ow loaded with fcapularies, relicks, prayer bnoks, legends of Saints already departed, and prophecies of patrons heists a life of tartan", converting rep lady with the Divinity as well as with the Virgin Mary. and all other inhabitants of heaven. So great was their popularity, and fo numerous their adhe rents, that the tress d'ifearrs who arrefled them, wete twice repulfed ; and, after they were carried into the prifons of Ghent, by their hypocritical cant they fe &lced the gaoler, his wile , a nd two children, to open the doors rl their prifon, and to eicape with them. The police it n..w in fea.ch of them, and will pro bably foon difi over them. They lett behind them in the gaol a bundle (pacoalt) of proph FlemiO ecies, in thc and French languages, which they had re• ceived fince their imprthmtnenr, as aU their former papers are depolited at the police office. In one of thefe pretended prophecies is foretold, that the next winter will be the coldell experienced in France fince 5709 ; th at general famine n e xt all the Continent ; and that, before the fpring, all the depattmnts between the Rhine and the Loire will be fw .1.-twed iip by an earthquake; wiiilft a plague tall dedroy 99-tooth parts of the pecp'e between the Loire, the Alp., and the Pyrenees. From this Ihort fpecimen, it is eafily teen that thefe terrible predic tions are the offspring of the fertile brain., of &VII heretics, or of agents in Britith pay.—joaraal de la A vefTel, with F. endi Colonifls from Sr. Domingo, Lai from Cuba, has Alri7ed at Nantes, alter a peffaje of fifty days.

From Come extrafts horn (mall French papers in the preceding columns, our Readers will fee that M France there is not fu much internal quiet and fatis faainn as the French Government would with the world to believe. In addition to the melancholy intelligence refpell ing the eifeas of the hurricane in the ifland of St. Kitt's, which will be found in a fucceeding column, we have to mention further particulars of its horri. ble devatiations in feveral other itlandi. This intelli, genet has reached us by the Venerable, arrived at Liverpool, from Barbadoes, from whence the failed . . on the coth of September. On Monday, the 3d of September, the wind blow ing W. and S. W. the hurricane commenced at day break, and continued with fcarcely any intermiffion until the night of the sth. Every one of the Wind ward Iflands are •fuppofed to have is Tome degree felt its effeas; but they were principally confined to the harbours, and the loffes in the interior of the iflands were of Haig coofequence. The fury of the hurricane was chiefly experienced in the iflands of St. Kitt's, St. Thomas, and Dominica. At Dominica, out of 28 fhi p s and a (loop of war (fuppofed to be the Oseasv), lying in the Bay, twenty-fix, and the floop, were 1011. The damage done at Barbadoes is comparatively infignificant None of the fquadron tinder Commo dore HOOD has received any material damage, and there were only two fhips 1011, the Perfeverance apt Sybil, of London. The Berwick, of London, a very valuable Chip, drove out to fea, and loft three cables, but being fupplied with another cable and anlance from the launch of the Cam-rave man of war, Com modore HOOD, fhe was fortunately enabled to brave the violence of the ftorm. We feel extreme fatisfaaion in announcing, that during the continuance of this tremendous hurricane, very few lives have been 1011. Various rumours prevail in our diplomatic circles, concerning a pretended change in the Spanifh Go vernment, and the appointment of the Qt2een of Spain as Regent, on account of the indifpofition of her Royal Confort. We have heard feveral other particulars; but, as we have not been able to trace them to any authink fource, we mull, for she pre. fent, decline laying them before the public, as they are of a nature which, if true, may be the forerun ners of another political revolution, to %%hick Bows- P•RTE cannot be a Ilranger. By letters from Cadiz, dated the 9th ult. we are infcrmed, that the penitential difeai: had found its way into that city, and daily carried off about tiny perfons. The gates were flint, and no one permitted to pafs them. Stakes had alCo Dein fixed round the borpitals, fo that no one could approach them within a dillance of fifty yards. We alfo learn, that the &C -order has extended up the Mediterranean as Car as Alicant and Valencia. From Carthagena the ac counts are moil calamitous, ar. the number of deaths there is averar,ed at leaf! one hundred daily. The accounts which we fubjoin from Gibraltar are malt &filleting. It mutt give much fatisfaCtion, however, to the friends of humanity, to learn in the midft of tbis fccr.e of woe, that Gen. BARN Ix has ex erted himfelf in a manner highly to his credit in dia. blifbing a temporary afylom for the unfortunate in fants and children, who had by this calamity been prematurely deprived of their parents. By the care of that Officer, thole little innocents, upon whom the effcas of the difeafe were comparatively trifling, were comfortably I.•dged and fupported, t rail an op portunity mould offer r f fending them to England. GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER c, 1804 1, I am forty to inform you, that the pellilential fever which I.tely made its appearance here has fread with fti,:h dreadful viruleace as to threaten the delitufti , ll of every inhabitant of this town. The deaths %:it! in thete Litt twenty-four hours have amounted to ui,w•.rds of ONE HUNDRID, though neal:y 0.. e half of the inhabitants !. ive fled from the town. Within thcfe few clays it has begun to attack the tro:vs with great violence :Aro, and about three hon.!: A 'ire now It of it. They die about twerty .aboi.t half which comber arc of the a tillery, who Live bun .he chic( fotf•<rtrt ; n-arly half oi ‘ that turps Lye hem attatked with it ; 1 ., e troops • eve sew elsraped out of the town, a reafute which if it bad linen adopte4 earlier, would have fared many valuable lives to their country at this impor tant moment. Great murmuring and difcontent pre vail among all ranks, at proper meal' . !s not having been taken in time to flop the contagion, which might ea fi ly have been done on its firft appearance, as for fevers' days it was confined folely to one part of the town, where there was flrong reafon to be lieve it had been imported from Malaga , efpecially as there was no doubt of Come Spaniards who had left Malaga during the height of the eliftemper hav ing foUnd their way into the gartlfon. But no re prefentation, however forcible, could induce thofe at the bead of affairs here to believe, either that the dif. cafe was contagious, or to take a fingle precaution againfl its fpreading throughout the gareifon. This fad negleft, joined to the uncommon filth and dirt of the place, and a very hot fummer, loon gave a de gree of virulence of rapidity that nothipg could check or fubdue. " On the 13th of September, when the firft alarm was given, in cenfequence of feveral hidden death's in one quarter of the town, it appears os examination, that there were few families, in which the difeafe had fpread to more than one perfon in the family, and the furgeon who attended them expreffed his opinion that the difeafe was contagious, an opinion which was feverely reprobated at the time, but which fatal experience has (hewn to be too true. On the tsth the Catholic Prieft publickly declared, that thole who died of the fever had all the fymptoms of the Malaga diftemper, which he had often witneffed.— On the 16113, eleven died of the fever, all in the fame part of the town. " On the soth the deaths had increafed gradually to 57 daily, and notwithflanding upwards of twelve dif ferent inflances had then occurred, by feveral people dying of the diforder in the fame family, (till the idea of contagion was run down and reprobated, when any dared to fuggeft fuch opinion. " Molt people, however, now began to be ferioufly alarmed, and to tru(t to the evidence of their fcnfes rather than to the opinion of the faculty, however fanitioned and fupported by authority; and as they Caw no effainal Reps taken for checking the con tagion, which was hourly gaining ground, num bers began to fly from the place in all direftions; and as clear bills of health were Rill iffued, under the au thority of the Government, they found no difficulty in getting away in any veffels to the neighbouring countries. This fortunately thinned the place, but (till the diforder continued to freed. " On the ssth the deaths amounted to about 36 daily—four bills of health were ordered to be iffued ; and, by way of purifying she air, all the guns in the line wall round the town, were ordered to be fired three times ! ! The difeafe, however, leaned to pay very little attention so this new mode of attacking it, but continued rapidly increafsng, till the deaths now amount to ems N UNDIVD within the laft twenty four hours, notwithflanding that half the inhabitants are either fled or dead. " This town which three weeks ago was a crowded baling fcene of trade, population, and wealth, now exhibits loch fcenes of woe, defolation, and wife: y, as almott exceed defcription or belief. Every hook (hut, the greets detested by all except thofe employed in the burial of the dead, or in quell of aid for the lick ! The dead arc now obliged to be car; ied off in carts, as loon as they expire, while a party of eighty Soldiers are employed in digging deep graves for their reception. The confavaturs of health ate ob led to go round , acc o mp anied b y g uards, to fearch the different houfes, and to have the dead carried nut, who are °lien abandoned by their friends and relations through fear of infeftion, and notwithfland ing all their efforts, dead bodies have frequently been dilco‘crcd in houfes whore they had lain neglefted. The fymptoms of this ttraible diforder, which is now univerfally allowed to be highly contagious, are the following : the patient, without any previous warning, is generally attacked with a flight giddinefs immediately followed by a fcvere head•ach, with acute pains darting inwards to the orbits of the eyes- The eyes become red, watery, and inflamed, and teem almoft flatting from their Pockets; the pislfe is hard and quick, commonly 530 in a minute, great eLbility almoft immediately takes place, which is fol lowed by pains in the loins and frequently violent cramps in the legs, with opprellion at the brcaft and flupor ; all there fymptoms , rapidly increafe and ge nerally prove fatal on the third or fourth day, and fometimes in t a hours if not checked by proper treat. ment. " Bleeding, which from the ftrong apparent deter mination of tile difeafe to the head the faculty at fiat frequently had recourfe to, generally proved fa tal, as where it fubdited the fever, the patient often expired fuddenly even when thought out of danger. The moll fuccefsful mode of treatment feems to be firft, a thong dot: of glue and calomel combined with an equal quantity of jalop or rhubarb the intlant the patient is attacked, to which the f;ver generally yields in a few hours, and afterwards to adminifler calomel in (mailer quantities with Antimon;.ds. One furgcon who has had the prudence and firmnefs to purtc this plan from the beginning, has not loft a ling patient OCTOLEX 3.

I advifed yos of the opinion of our medical men, on the nature of the Fever which had broken out in the Garrifon ; fince that period there has been great reafon to alter that opinion, a very great mortality having prevailed ; owing, in the fiat place, to ficknefs, but in a much greater degree to the want of medical attendance, nourilhment, and mules, as well as to filth and naflinefs. The number that have fallen viaims to there ratites, within this fortnight, is furprifing, for our reduced population, which now does not confilt of more than three thou. fand fouls. On Monday !aft one hundred and fourteen were buried, and the whole week averaged about ninety per day ; thank Gov, the number yefterdaT was reduced to fifty-feven, and this day, I hope, it will not exceed forty, fo that we mend apace, and ex pel that the firft heavy rains (hourly looked for) will fetus all to rights. The mortality, ftom the caufes before recited, you will eafily conceive to have taken place molly among the poor. Of Brit d h merchants, very few have fallen, and there only in fituations ex tremely :irejudkial to health. The Jews, however, have fallen in numbers ; and where it has broken out in a dirty ill aired book, it has generally carried off every one in it. Many people have left the garrifon from fear, and the death of numbers is atcribed to fear alone, particularly am •ng the women and Jews. " Among the Britith Committee, five have been eboten to a6lft the Government, in applying the mot probable =afores towards the promotion of the public health —relieving the diftreffed—burying the dead, dm. and they ate vetted with the fulleft powers.
