The town is di- vided into eight districts, which are separated from each other by banners—a market is established in each, and no communication held between them, ezcept by permits from . the Deputies, of which there are three to each district, who visit all the. houses daily, and if any body is ill, send for a Doctor. If the symptoms aro those of the plague a bearer is brought, and the infected person carried off to Fort Manuel ; the house shut up, and ; sentry placed at the door. Cg The Deputies tut gentlemen volunteers. Mr. Forest is one, and Mr. Noble another : the latter was speaking to one of his sentries on Sunday, and the 'man died three minutes'after, in the guard-room. 66 A large police is established, pro Import, who do all the duty with regard to the plague ; but the men employed in taking infected people away atcl burying the dead are slaves, who, if they survive, are paid four dollars a-day, and get their freedom he sides ; twenty-six of them are dead; and the rest refu sed yesterday to act any longer. 66 They cow place Greeks, volunteers, to do this duty. The slaves died for want of precaution, as they would not wear the dresses provided for them.

" JUNE 19—I have opened this again, os the pac ket was detained by Government, in the l:ope of giv ing a more favourable account of the plague; instead of which,, the numbers in the last two days hive in creased, and this is one of the most determined bad days for it—a Levanter, and rms. • " I dread to-morrow'3 report—the mail is to be made tip this afternoon, and you will see by the deaths on the 17th and 18th, that we are getting worse." [Here follows a statement, by which it appears, that from the 19th of April to the 18th of June, in. elusive, •5`29 have died; 419 of whom fell victims in the month of June.] PROLONGATION OF THE ARMISTICE. Paris Papers to the ‘:.)6th instant have arrived.— They put an end to all speculation on the subject of the Armistice, the suspension of hostilities having been prolonged to the riddle of August. .In the mean time, Plenipotentiaries from the Belligerent Powers have arrived at Prague : Count NARBONNIR and the Duke of VICENZA (CA umwouar) appear on behalf of France. The Privy Councillor D'ANSTATT (or D'ANSTETTIN), is deputed by Russia; and Baron Flosmotor by Prussia, on the same occasion. On the 7th July, an English Ambassador, whose name is pot mentioned, is said to have passed through Neuss, in the department of the Mozelle, for the same destination. From the Gibraltar Chronicle, of the 10th July, we extract the following details respecting the plague at Malta, which we are happy to find has not spread so rapidly as was at first given out : EXTRACT FROM A PRIVAtE LETTU, DATED MALTA, 17TH JUNII. 64 Thank GOD the plague has not as yet interfered with the military in any one instance. You will, of course, be anxious to hear some account of it, and I will now endeavour to give you as concise a detail as I can of the rise, progress, and I wish I could add fall, of the dreadful malady which has prevailed here now six weeks. Nobody yet knows how it got into the island. Vague suspicions have been entertained, but until we hear with tolerable certainty, I shall not mention one report. It is my intention only to state facts, some of which come under my own knowledge, others I have from the best authority. I have kept a journal from the commencement. On the 4th May `a letter was written to Mr. Green by Dr. Gravagna, who had visited the family of a shoemaker in Strada Paola, No. 150, by name Salvador Borg. one of whose children died on the 19th April, after a very short illness. The mother was taken ill on the 2d and died on the 3il May. The Doctor suspected the disease was the plague• in consequence of which he wrote to Mr. Green. In the margin of the following page you will rind a daily state of the exact numbers who died of it, and have been infected. The shoe-maker was infected on the 7th May, and died on the 12th, but generally speaking, death succeeds the infection in hours. Only three instances of recovery have as yet taken place, and I believe the reason has been want of attention. No body will come within yards of art infected person— if yon are tpo ill to assist yourself, you must neces sarily die, and several cases have occurred where death takes place almost immediately. " On the .sth May, Government published a Pro clamation, to inform the People that the disease had made its appearance. and recommending precau tionary measures, which were only pursued by the English, as the natives would not believe for a very long time that it was the plague, in consequence of the small number of deaths and infections. It is the same in every country; the disease makes its appear ance with so many different symptoms, besides the difficulty of finding out those with whom infected persons have had communication. 46 It has spread through Casa!, Isola, Floriana, St. Julian's, Vitoriosa, Burmola, and every part of the island of Malta. Gozo has not been infected, nor Lampeduza. Fort Manuel was cleared out as a place to put those in who had not the disease but had . been in infected houses, or these who had survived in in fected families. About 300 persons have died there, as they were at last obliged to send all infected per sons to that fort, which destroyed those who were sent in the first instance. Those infected in ;own are allowed to remain in their own houses, if they are , respectable persons, and the houies airy: • 44 in the country all remain in their houses. The men-servants of Captain Chilcott, Agent of Trans ports, were taken ill. One of them died—the other is recovering, in Fort Manuel. Captain Chilcott, by taking every precaution, has escaped, and is as well as ever, though the servants were infected a fortnight ago: all the family arc alto welL .It has not spread sp tapidly as might have been expected, considering the immensity of the population. Ito. 26, Strada. Poizi, had originally fifty-two inhabitants, who have all died, except a little girl, aad she wag infected this naming. " I should till a volume were I 'to relate all the affecting scenes I have witnessed. Itt one house the father and mother were dying in bed, the mother with an infant at her breatit, two elaildrrn on the floor helpless, another infected, but able io move, and employed in bringing pill, &c. to the family, which MLA left at the door, and feeding . them, without touching any thing herself—theY are all pow dead. i saw seven people put into thedead cart ene morn. ing at Floriano—three from one house, 64 In fact, whole families have beeh swept away. WINDSOR, JULY 29. Princesses AUGUSTA and Sorma. took their usual ride yesterday for about two hours, attended by Lord ARMIN, Generals GARTH and Tayutitrand Lady J. THYNNE. The Quuts and Princesses MARY and SOPHIA spent the morning at Frogmor.•, where the/ amused themselves in the pleasant gardens. The Duke of CLARENCE arrived in the afternoon on a visit to the QUEEN.

Viscount SIDMOUTH has lately had very frequent private interviews with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. FETE IN HONOUR OF THE BATTLE OF VITTORIA,--r Last night, there was what was called a tpleatlid Fete, at the King's Theatre, Haymarket. The front of the Theatre, on the outside, bore the name —" WEL. LZNGTON ;" over the grand entrance " F. M." (Field Marshal) ; immediately and on either side a wreath ; all brilliantly illuminated with lamps of various co lours. The Pit, and the greatest part of the Stage, appeared transhirmed into one spacious and splendid saloon. At the remote end appeared a transparency emblematic of England and her Allies. It coristed of an orb, surrounded by the Imperial Eagle, the British Lion, an 4 the figure of Hispania in a pensive attitude leaning agairzt it. At the opposite extre mity, immeilately over the entrance into the grand Saloon, appeared an equestrian transparency of the Marquis of Weilasorop, with sevorai ensigns placed' under. The Pit was raised in such a manner as to appear a continuation of die Stage, so that' the entire space afforded all the advantage. of a promenade (which the elasticity of the boards rendered extrzmely agreeable) as well as of a Ball-room. The shrubs and Powers, on every side, shed a purifying and de lightful fragrance. The front and pillars ou each side of the &age were covered very tastefUlly all round with wreaths of the greenest and freshest shrubs. The prospect of a splendid evening's entertainment certainly,.opened upon us, but never were we so dis appointed on approaching the realizatipn of lair hopes as on'tbe present occasion. Instead of a com pany the rooma were completely deserted till after eleven o'clock ; and in the body of the House them were not snore than a hundred, or an hundred and twenty' persons !i• The Concert-room, which was neatly decorated' and fitted up for dan,:ing, could m t boast one couple I Tlie grand military bands Tat were engaged fable originally) had to play to them selves, In the 'House eec party tor dancing only was fetmed, and they were satisfied with A o or three country dances.
