Only six of the inhabitants and six soldiers belonging to the 7th Veteran Battalion, have died of he disease ; the early suppression of which is in a great measure to be attrilmted to the zeal and acti pity of Dr. Pny the principal Medical Officer of that Garrison,"' 1 . i1..m...... ~ .el In the rrececi7ng columns we have given a full Copy of the American documents to 'which we al luded yesterday, with some extracts from German pagers received Last night.

His Lordship is eitretnely popular With the army, though he enforces the strictest' dliciplitie. He has instituted an inquiry,.and a Board of Officers is now sitting, to investigate causes. of complaint against some of the medkal department after the battle of Basaco. The army is - far from healthy.; the hospital% in most places, being lull. The mist•certAin information hats been icceived, that very strong'reinforcements are on their way to MASSENA. It is now quite clear that his Lordship was - deceived regarding the French being in want of provisions-great abundance was found in their lines when our people went out atter MASSENA'S retreat: • Under the command of General ENaLawn, Dr. RocKErr is preparing to receive many of our poor sick and wounded fellows from Portugal, at Ply mouth. Among other accomtw , dations, the officers and men will have the very coniforrible ones in the Naval Hosp;tal there. Pity tha: sick and wounded soldiers should not have the same established build ings and comforts provided for them by their coup 'try, but be obliged to borrow from the navy A letter from an Officer at Senegal has been shewn to us of the 4th November.' The troops have hien sickly in the season, and the Royal African Corps have lost many men. Colonel MAXweLL and Major CHISHOLM deserve the greatest credit for stop. ping the alarming mutiny which lately took place. —lt was fortunate that such brave, determined, and experienced officers were on that station, ether wise the most dreadful consequences might have en sued. A general instirrection was to have taken place in the evening of the 10th September, but by timely and firm steps adopted, it was prevented.= Seventeen of the ring-leaders have been tried by a Ges neral Court-Martial, 16 of whom were found guilty, and one acquitted ; 15 of these were shot in front of the army under arms : 20 others were thought to be of a dangerous character and sent to Sierra Leone, under a subaltern officer and strong guard. Governor ,CoLustsiNE would not, however, receive them, being afraid of their contaminating the garrison, and they have been sent back to Senegal. A simil ir rising was to have taken place at Gore as at Senegal ; but, by the prompt apd firm conduct of Major CHISItOLMI this was entirely,prevented. MILITARY FETE.--Friday evening last a grand Bill and Supper was given by the Officers of the 2d or Queen's Dragoon Guards, to upwards of 1 it) per., sons of the first families of distinction in Canterbury and its vicinity.. Th.- Ball took place at Beliingham's Room, and the dancing cummenced about ten, and continued till midnight, when the company adjourned to the Fountain Inn, and sat down to one of the most elegant and sumptuous entertaiaments that has ever been witnessed in that city. A Lady of the name of Baewsvea, in Maddox street, was so much burnt, in consequence of her clothes catching fire on Monday night, that she is not expected to recover. Mrs. B. had dressed herself fnr one of the Theatres, and she was in company with her son when the accident h append from the candle. Every assistance was • afforded her, but her clothes ware nearly all burnt. Yesterday Mary Convey and Mary Bahian, were again broughts‘to the Mansion-House, and fully com mitted, charged with stealing from the shop of a linen draper, in Bishopsgate-street, some pieces of cotton and several shawls. NOW, . - INFORMAitON TO MASTERS OF VESSELS, PARTICU LARLY IN TUB Commix° TRARR.—On Friday. last, a very large trench schooner captured a brig off Berry. head Signal Station, near Torbay, and carried her off. It has been suggested by an experienced Naval Officer, that vessels passing up Channel without pro tection, in westerly winds should, after passing the Start, and the Shoal off that Point, haul in towards Dartmouth, and round the Bay, instead of steering direct for Portland, in which track all the danger lies. By going round the Bay with a fair wind and bold Coast, vessels would keep inside of the enemy's cruizers, and the diXetence in the passhges, with a moderate breeze, would not at the most be more than three or four hours. The following is th 6 answer of the Admiralty to the request for :Additional protection against the depre dations of the French Privateers on the coast of Suisex: " Admiralty °See, Dec. 1, 1910.

Most of her crew were washed off the wreck; but the Captain and four sea men lashed themselves to her, and were taken off by the Armada, in a very emaciated avid exhausted state, having been a fortnight exposed to " the pelt ings of the pitiless storm," on the deck of the vessel, with no other sustenance than a little damaged bis cuit. They have arrived here, and are all in a fair way of recovery. The Captain was very much bruised, and the flesh torn off his arms. The Aurora belonged to London. The Armada was obliged to abandon the wreck, as it was so much water-logged as to ren der it impossible for them to tow her into any port. rORTSMOUTTI, DECEMBER 11.

The Squire is introduced to D,ra Mumble, Mrs. DaveseonTom actress who had applied for an engagement in consequence of the Manager's adver. tisement. ;the equivoque which occurs in the dialogue, owing to these mistakes, is the strength of the piece, but, though some humour was here displayed, yet having nothing besides to support it, in spite of the efforts and skill of the performers, it went off heavily, and at the conclusion, when the audience stw the in. significance as a whole, of what they had been laugh ing at iii detail, a considerable clamour arose, and Nfr. Fawr:ltt, in announcing it for another repreaen. Cation, could not be heard. An application was yesterday made to the Came of Chancery, for an injuncti , n to stop the represerita. tion of the above Farce. The application was matte by Mr. Moan's, one of the Proprietors oe the Hay. market Theati e, on the ground of a contract, by which it was stated, that Mr. CAILM AN. the Author of the Piece, was bound to give to that Theatre the advantage of every new dramatic production of his pen. It was answered, on the part of the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, that they had purchases the Piece, and that they bad an concern with any jai. yaw agreement said to exist between Mr. Coutate and the other Proprietors of the Haymarket Theatre, of which contract they knew nothing. His Lordship, however, did not grant an injunction to stop the performance last night, but left the question open for future consideration.
