They paraded in great pomp for about seven Iwurs in the heat of the sun ; and we are told that 4.00 of them were, on the even- ing of ►hat lay, sent to the hospital, to die Of the yel low feVer. It was thought that a majority of the persons composing this expedition would cease to be , in less than a month.

No new case of malignant fever has been reported to the hoard this 44y. (Signed) • J. IdLaar.v, Secretary.' " The b:lions malignant fever rages in many places en Long Island. There have been several deaths at Newtown, in New Jersey, and the upper part of this state. The same lever has carried off several valu able citizens." ~ WASIIINGTON, OCTOBER 8. " IMPORTANT TREATY OF LINIITS.—It appears probable that the fort which our Government had begun to elect on Lake Champlain falls within the British lines. This is to be regretted ; but it it fairly belongs to them by the Treaty, let them have it. If we lose Rouse's Point, it is said we shall receive a compensation in the district of the Main. Our North eastern boundary, it is said, will be many miles far ther north : it will extend as far as to cut off the com munication between the Provinces, and will embrace within our limits a considerable French Settlement, which has formerly been under the jurisdiction of Canada. YELLOW FEVER AT NATCIIEZ.—A letter from a respectable physician at Natchez states, that the yel low fever had broken out there. It first appeared on the .sth September ; on the Sth, five deaths were announced ; and such was the panic during the heavy rains, that five-sixths of the inhabitants had fled to the country. It was thought that in two days not more than 100 persons would be left in the town.— No new cases bad occurred on the Bth. . FRoM BUENOs Avers, AUGuST 5.- 4, The news' this day from Monte Video, on creditable authority, is, that Don Vcdal and I)on Firo, natives of Monte Video, and Members of the Cabildo, are appointed Deputies to wait op the King of Portugal, to exact of him his promise that the Portuguese should eva cuate the eastern side of the river three months pre vious to the arrival of the Spanish expedition. This is done with the sanction of General Le Cour ; and Don Nicholas Herera, his first Counsellor, has no doubt the King will comply with this proposal." EXTRACT c 1 A LETTER (RECEIVED BY THE AMITY, DATED NEW YORK, OCTOBER 9, 1819, To A RE sy:CTARLE mERCHANT IN THE CITY: 'I Before I left Boston, the fever had entirely sub sided there; and the accounts from New York were so favourable, that I expected to find it the same here ; but two or thee new cases had been report ed two or three days in succession, and I find my self here rather before the danger was entirelyover. —The weather is still unfavourable, but as no new cases have_ been 'Trotted to the Board of ,Health ycs..erday or today, I have only to keep out orthe infected part of the town for a week or two to be quite safe; indeed I think we have been mote fright ened than hurt. The whole number of deaths does rot exceed 20 of malignant fever: a small number is a town containing 00,000 inhabitants." Letters.of the 15th August hart been received by the Mariner, arrived at Liverpool, from Dunes yres. The reports received there of the grand ex pedition from Cadiz, which related only to its state of equipment in the month of May, greatly ezagge. rated its efficient strength. Lists had been transmit ted to Buenos-Ayr's of all the regiments and corps compor.ing it, repaiented to amount to a force ex. ceeding 26,000, afid convoyed by no less then 60 vessels cf war! Wl•ethi.i tie Governsre^t gave any credit to this statement, does not appear ; General SAN-MARTIN was, however, expected to arrive at Buenos-Ayres on the following day, and BELGRA NO was undei stood to be near at hand. The forces which could be brought into the field, to oppose the in v.iders, according to the Official Returns, exceeded 27,000 men, of whom 13,000 were cavalry. A legion of 3000 light troops, in addition, was to be raised by General PUYERBIDON, the Ex-Director. A plan of d'efence had been organized, which deserves to be mentioned, as an evidence of the patriotic zeal and intelligence that prevails, though its interest is mate rially lessened by our knowledge, that the force it was intended to cope with is already dispersed, if not annihilated,. by the visitation of HEAVEN. All the men past bearing arms, together with the women and children, were to be sent into the interior. The im mediate defence of Buenos-Ayres was to be intrusted to a select corps of 8000 men, who were to be in structed, if overpowered, to fall back on another di vision of 11,000 men, while the remaining force was to he occupied in laying waste the country, and cut ting off the resources of the enemy. The main stand was intended to be made on the banks of the Ria chuelo, and the road leading to San Ysidro. The co operation of the Poi tuguese, by the general tenour of the letters, appears to be perfectly relied on, and to them would be intrusted the defence of the left bank of the Ricer Plate. very endeavour was making toinduce A RTIQAS to join the common cause. These letters are wholly sent on the affairs of Chili the advices from' that quarterbeing on board another vessel, which has not yet arrived. The removal of Sir HUDSON Lowy from the Go vernorship of St. Helena, so often rumoured and as often contradicted, is now, we are assured, defini tively arranged, in consequence, not of any dissatis faction which Ministers entertain at his conduct, but of Sir HUDSON'S own desire to return home. The gallant Sir W. V. Bnoicz is named as his successor.' Tl.e Shipping Interest of the City was thrown into much confusion yesterday, by an unexpected notice from the Navy Board, that twenty vessels, of 500 tons each, were wanted this day, by one o'clock.— The tenders were not to be received after that hour. It is reported, that several brokers in the secret were prepared for the event; the great proportion, how ever, were left in the lurch, as the time was too short to procure vessels. Yesterday, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE3ENT, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIN IlLoomtmu, left town for Brighton. The PRINCE REGENT has, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of !-=land, translated the Right Rev. and Honourable POWER LE POER TRENCH, D.D. Bishop of ELPHIN, to the Archbishopric of TUAN, and the United Bishopric of ENOGUDOEN, with the Bishopric of ARDAGH in COIENZE7I4III. Yesterday morning, at two o'clock, the Duke of YORK arrived in town from Windsor, and in the af ternoon, honoured the LORD MAYOR with his com pany to dinner. The Duke of NA RLZOROCIGH is arrived at his seat, Blenheim, Oxfordshire, from a tour. The Duke of MONTROSE is expected in town the, latter end of next week, from his seat in Scotland. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE is entertaining a large party of Noblemen on a shooting party, at his seat, Chatsworth, Derbyshire. The Earl and Countess of HARROW/114 the Ladies RYDER and family, arrived on Sunday at their house in Grosvenor-squate, from their seat, Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. The 111011 SHERIFF for Berkshire having declined compliance with the Requisition for calling a County Meeting, on the subject of the Manchester transac tion, the Requisitionists, upwards of two hundred in number, among whom are Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Mr. HALLE?, Mr. FULWAR CRAVEN, Dr. MITFORD, &c. have themselves convened a Meeting, to be held at Reading, on Monday next. It k understood, that both Lord FOLKSTONE and Mr. C. F. PALMER will be present, though their names are not to the Requi sition ; and that to the event of a trial of strength (which is actually threatened by the Loyal Declara tionists of the County) the strenuous support of these Gentlemen may be confidently relied on, to the mea sure of demanding an inquiry into transactions which are to all appearance a disgrace to the national cha racter. Saturday, the 23d ult. the Prize of St. Andrew's Cross, given by Sir GIGROE MACKENZIE, Bart. was shot for by the Royal Company of Archer', end 'rained by Captain ROBERT DEANS, R.N. And on the 90th, the Silver Bowl, given by the Royal Com pany, was shot for, and gained by Join; WATSON, Esq. Portrait Painter, by three consecutive ends. A duel would have taken place yesterday, on Old Oak Common, between Messrs. D—L and medical students, but for the intervention of some constables. The ground was measured, when they were apprised of some officers being in waiting, and they retired. The dispute originated at a coffee house in Bond-street. Wild fowl are this year so numerous on the coast of Hampshire, that the river between Hurst Castle and Lymington, is literally shaded with the geese, and they are selling at Milford and Nywhaven at' 2s. 6J. each.

A few days ago, a stag, closely pursued by the hounds, made his way into lirentford ; and, after rnakii , g three or four circuits round the market place, to the great confusion and alarm of the inha bitants, suddenly entered the passage of a house ad joining the river Brent, which he waded, making off over the country towards Heasden.

HUDDERSFIELD, NOVEMBER 8. The Reform Meeting which was held this day on Almondbury Bank, about a mile from the town, was, called by public advertisement, signed by nearly one hundred householders. At twelve o'clock the procession, consisting of several thousand persons, formed in the streets of the town, and after being joined by a large company of their friends horn the neighbourhood of Halif.ur, marched towaiJs the place of meeting. The Reformers in this neighbour hood, by their zeal and taste, have accumulated a vast number of flags, and, by the kindness of their female friends, have procured a quantity of Caps of Liberty, which are now so numerous and shewy, chat at a distance the procession resembles an army with banners. At this Meeting, ornament was by no means wanting ; for not less than forty-four flags and seven Caps of Liberty, with unnumbered bunches of crape, laurel, cypress, Ste. graced the procession, which also boasted three very respectable and nu merous bands of music. It would be quite useless to occupy your columns with the inscriptions on the fanners, which, if given at length, would swell this account to a most unwieldy bulk, as they very much resemble those which you have already given in your report of the Halifax Meeting, and Many cf them were identically the same. It is quite suffi cient to say, that there was nothing seditious or in- . flammatory in them. Tire number of persons assem bled was from eight to ten thousand. About one o'clock, Mr. DICKENSON, of Dewsbury, was relied to the Chair, and made a short address to the Meeting, in which he stated that no honour could have been conferred upon him, which he should so highly value, as that of presiding over an assem bly so numerous and so highly respectable. A Mr. MICAH WRIGHT appeared after him, and was followed by Mr. CHRIS. WOOD, Mr. Joux SPIVEY, and Mr. RICHARD LEE, none of whom were ever heard of before, and none, save the last, are worth hearing again. This Gentleman rose out of the pure overflowings of his zeal, and without premeditation, to say a few words in condemnation of the " Borough mongeringfraction, which, when they met, he was sartain would subspend tliberties o' t'Pcople." Find ing, however, that all his ideas had oozed out, and that he was left quite barren of matter, he honestly confessed that he " was fairly puzzled, and he !bout he'd more to say than he had ;" so he at once de scended amidst the laughter and plaudits of the audience. • A series of Resolutions, of the usual description, were proposed and carried, with several explanatory speeches by the Chairman. When all the male speakers had retired, afemale Reformer advanced towards the Chairman, and, with great apparent teal, presented him with a Cap of Liberty, and an Address to the' " dear sisters," which she requested him to read. The fair inference which I think may be drawn from the character of this Meeting, is, that the cause is drooping; and, without some fresh opposition from Ministers, or aggression from the Magistracy, will soon expire. When the Radical Reformers are slight ed, and allowed to meet unmolested, nothing can be more harmless than their assemblies ; and their zeal,' for want of opposition, dies away; but when Bills are passed to prevent their meeting, no sooner has their period expired, than they flock again to their stan dards with renewed and increased ardour; and when an arbitrary Magistracy menaces them with the sword, their whole souls rise in indignant defiance of their opponents. The Manchester outrage supplied food for the dying flame, strengthened the already weak bands of the Radicals, and supplied fresh topics for the exhausted ingenuity of their speakers. One feature, of no small importance, marked this Meeting, which was held in a place where the prin ciples and temper of the people are more ardent than in any other part of Yorkshire. The Chairman ex pressed his attachment to the plan of Annual Parlia ments and Universal Suffrage ; but, " rather than l i create any disturbance in the country, he would be content to accept Triennial Parliaments and House hold Suffrage." He advised the Reformers not to differ about a trifle, if they obtained the grand point of a substantial Reform ; and, above all things, to "avoid any measure or proceeding which could create the least confusion. He was heard by the whole assembly with patience, and on concluding, no mark of disapprobation ensued, except the exclamations of a few voices from the crowd—" the thing, and no thing but the thing"—so temperate are many of the Reformers in their wishes, and so little disposed to support with violence, much less to demand with arms, the plan of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage ! If Ministers and Magistrates will take the hint, this Meeting furnishes a lesson to prevent them from rousing , the slumbering fire of Radicalism to fresh fury, by Gagging Bills, Suspension Acts, and the Sword. The Requisitionists for a Meeting of the County cf Middlesex, being ur.able to prevail with either of the Sheriffs to convene a Meeting, without a pro crastination, which they deem both inconvenient and discreditable, have called a Meeting on their own authority, to take place at Hackney, on Friday next, to consider what steps ought to be taken respecting the proceedings of those who caused, and of those who actually made a militaty assault on a peaceable Meeting of person: a•zemlAcci at Manchester on the P3th of August."
