Among the extracts which we subjoin will be found some very distressing detail, of the progress of the fever in Spain. It has already spread to several large towns.. An offer, perhaps unexampled for its generosity and heroism, has been made by upwards of one hundred French Physicians to repair into the midst of the pestilence, and assist, by their scientific labours, in putting a stop to its ravages.' PARIS, SEPTEMBER 26. !MOH THE HOEITEVR. " Early in August the yellow fever broke out amongst the inhabitants of Barcelonetta, one of the suburbs of Bat celona. It appears that the distemper had been imported by a Spanish brig direct from the Havannah. Three carpenters who worked on beard, and four seamen who belouge Ito other ships, who communicated with the brig, soon became vic-, tims. Till about the end of August the disease was confined to Barcelonetta; and, on the 29th of that month, the Superior Council of Health at Catalonia bad declined that the disease was not contagious.— But, notwithstanding this assurance, the disease spa sad early in September, from Barcelonetta to the city of Barcelona itself; so that, upon the evening of the llth September, the Chief Authorities and the garrison had quitted the place. A precautionary cordon was formed at about a league from that city, and those of the inhabitants not having then departed were prohibited from leaving it. But it appears that, after the departure of the Magistrates and the garrison, the malady had extended its ravages. "It is equally clear that the yellow fever had ex tended ta 'fortosa and other parts. The cities of Arragon had taken the strictest precautions to repel its approach in progressing to within their walls. " A Danish .essel, from Barcelona, had conveyed .the distemper to Malaga, and several of the shipping were infected by it; but, owing to the wise precau tions of the Authorities, the contagion had not, on the.,sth September last, got into the city. Another ship, belonging to the same country, • which arrived in the road of Pomegne, near Mar seilles, on the 7th of September last, lost a seaman on the evening of the 14th, after three days illness, who expired with all the symptoms of the yellow fever. Some days after the disease broke out in two vessels which were alongside the Danish vessel then put under quarantine. By the 19th September, six men belonging to these vessels had fallen victims to the fever, and seven more were infected with it.— Under these cirs.umstances, the Board of Health at Marseilles felt it indispensable to placethe infected vessels at a considerable distance from those already in quarantine. 4. By intelligence of .the 22d, officially communi cated, we are apprised that another of the sick, a Lieutenant, had also died ; but that the others were much better, while the greater part were conva lescent, and that no accident had befallen the re mainder of the vessels in quarantine. Our experience of the progress of the yellow fever has assured us that in Europe it abates at the first approaches of cold weather, and ends entirely at its setting in ; while the precautions which have been taken would alone be sufficient to remove all ap prehensions. We have to lament, no doubt, that a i l country bordering on France should continue to suf fer from the ravages of this scourge; but we have to' rejoice, at the same time, that the seeds of this dis-' temper have not been able to penetrate the soil of France." A letter of the 15th alt. from Barcelona, says, that the malady continued to increase, and that Bar celtifietta had been entirely deserted by all but the sick, of whom from 20 to 30 died daily. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 27. Wednesday the King held a Council of Ministers. Yesterday his Majesty transacted busineu with the puke de Richelieu, the Marquis de Latour Mau bourg, and the Count Simeon. Yesterday the Minister for Foreign Affairs gave a grand diplomatic dinner, at which the Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, and Prince Esterhazy were present. Upwards of 100 French Physicians have solicited from Government the honourable and perilous mis sion of proceeding to Barcelona, to study the cha racter of the contagion, and propose sanitary mea sures that may put a stop to its ravages. Govern ment have fixed upon Doctors Pariset and Mazet, with whom Doctors Bailly, Rouchoez, ansl Francois, have been associated as adjuncts. The whole five set cut yesterday for Catalonia. M. Terry, bookseller, of the Palais Royal, editor of several brochures respecting the death of Bona parte, which have been referred to the Tribunals, and of another brochure relative to the Elections, seized on Wednesday in his shop. has been arrested by or der of the I'rocureur do ltoi. Three squadrons of the Hussars of Borel, forming part of the garrison of Brussels, left that city the 23d, to meet the King of England. His Majesty's route not being known, a part of the detachment marched upon Alost, and the other part upon Enghien. STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 11. The Pastor of the Dutch German Communion of Stockholm has made an appeal to his flock in favour or the Greeks. The King is expected at Stockholm on the 18th. BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 13. The troops which have been concentrated near Our city since the end of last month, will return o without delay to their ordinary garrisons. It is thus that the report of the pretended ionisation of a great Russian army is dispelled. Any one at all acquainted with the relations of our Court cauld not have the least coonfidence in such an assertion. Many persons suppose that the King of England will Wine and spend a weelc in this capital. We have' good reason to doubt the truth of this news. A cou rier, whom Count Munster, first Hanoverian Minister and Secretary of State for Hanoverian Affairs to the King of England, has sent here, has given rise to -various speculations. The only thing certain is, that there will be a meeting on the frontiers between the two Sovereigns. MONTAUBAN, SEPTEMBER '2l. - - - - - We have received news from Barcelona of the 12th instant. We can scarcely trace with our pen an ac count of the horrors to which the people of that place are a prey, in consequence of the ravages of the plague. They have fled to the neighbouring moun tains, and the whole town is a scene of the most dreadful devastation. ODESSA, SEPTEMBER 2. News is daily expec:ed from Russia. Many doubt even yet that peace will he maintained with the Porte, especially since the late events of Bucharest, which clearly indicate what it is the Porte under stands by r.n amnesty. As soon as the Grand Seignor and the Divan shall be assured that the Greeks will be abandoned by Russia, new persecutions will begin, which will terminate in the destruction of the Greeks. The English here flatter themselves that on the ar rival of their Sovereign on the Continent he will have an interview with the Emperors of Russia and Aus tria, and that something favourable to the Greeks will be tLe result. News from Constantinople, of the 27th August, announces that some churches have been re stored to the Greeks to 'celebrate Divine Service. The new Patriarch, illegally chosen by the Sultan, has issued a Pastoral, which is of the same nature as the Anathema that was to have been promulgated by Gregory, his predecessor. The Greeks taj that the new Patriarch Is but a Jew in disguise. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 4. The Baron de Strogonoil is expected here imme diately. (Letters from Vienna state that he had set out for St. Petershurgh. after having had an interview of two hours with General the Count de Wittgen- 1 1 stein. The St. Petersburg') journals do not speak of the departure of the Emperor). FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 20. The King of England will proceed from hence to Hesse Homburg, thence to Stutgard, and perhaps to Darmstadt. His Majesty will pass some days at Cassel. French Five per Cents. Thursday, 87 fr. 95 c. Madrid Papers to the 17th ult. were received last night.. Their contents are unimportant. The advices from Barcelona are superseded by those in the French Papers. I\. CADIZ, SEtTEMBER 6. An account from Lima, of the 17th of April, says, 8, Our situation with respect to the invaders is better than it was four months ago, which is all owing to our new Chief, and to our continual sacrifices. We know that there are many discontented persons in the enemy's army and on board Cochrane's fleet, because they see that his plans have failed. If, as we are assured, the two ships arrive within two months, Cochrane is ruined, and San Martin also, for we have land forces enough to overawe all this part of America, and when the two ships arrive it will be come tranquil ; but if they have not sailed, you should use your influence with the Government to send with them good Officers. Ever since August, last year, when this Expedition set out to invade us, we were told that the Government would take measures to succour us, and we therefore are in constant ex pectation of the two ships so much desired." The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from Gibraltar, dated September 10:—" It appears, by an official communication from Cadiz, that the existence of the yellow fever at Port St. Mary's has been formally declared by the physicians at that place. A small Tripoline squadron, which had been sent to the assistance of the Porte, has fallen into the hands of the Greeks." We received this forenoon a further supply of American Papers, but they are not of a later date than those received yesterday. The following are extracts : BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 1. ALARMING FIRES IN THE WOODS OF MAIN AND P NEW Datmswicsci—A Gentleman who arrived here on Thursday, in the schooner Active, from Eastport, informs, that the drought in the neighbourhood of Saint Croix river, the present season, has been un usually severe, and that the fires in the woods have raged to a more alarming extent than ever before known. Several buildings have been burnt at the parish of Saint Stephen's, on the British side of the river, others were saved with great difficulty. From Calais to Eastport, about a fortnight since, the vessel in which our informant took passage was entirely enveloped in smoke. In various places the fireshave been burning for six weeks; there had been no rain for eight weeks to wet the ground. SAVANNAH, SEPTEMBER I. TORNADO AND HAIL STORM. —On the evening of the - 22d ult. a tornado, accompanied with hail, thun der, and lightning, was experienced at Tybee which blew down the north• west wing of the United States barracks, and destroyed many of the panes of glass in the light house. Some of the hailstones were an inch in diameter. CHARLESTON, AUGUST so. _ By the arrival of the Spanish brig of war Almi rante, in twenty-two days, from Vera Cruz, we learn that the Insurgents were before that city, and the gates were shut ; but on the arrival of the Diamond, a corvette, and the brig of war Almirante, with about 800 troops from this port, the troops being trained for two days, they sallied out to give battle to the enemy, who retreated, and nn engagement took place; but the Royal troops burnt and destroyed the quarters of the Insurgents, which were without the walls. The Royal troops are encamped near the place that the enemy left. The Viceroy, O'Donolu, arrived at Vera. Cruz from Ohl Spain, and was treated very slightly. The res• sels of war touched at Tampico, where no notice was taken of diem at all. That place is represented to be in a state of discontent, and, with Vera Cruz, may be expected soon to be under the Independent flag. The subjoined letter, received yesterday by a packet from the Brazils, confirms the statement which ap peared some days ago, of its being the resolution of, Sir THOMAS HARDY to withhold his recognition of Lord COCHRANES blockade: " RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 23. " A few days ago, the ivate Secretary of the English Minister, who lately resided here, arrived from Lima, which place he left on the Ist of May, and iluaura, the head-quarters of the Chili= army, on the 3d. He came by sea from Valparaiso, and travelled from thence across the Continent to Buenos Ayres, where he again tonic shipping for this place. When he left Lima, the American frigate General Brown was lying at Callao, and was to sail about the middle of May. The Er- Viceroy, Pezuela, had en gaged a passage in her. La Serna, the new Viceroy, possessed the general confidence ; and, owing to his vigorous measures, the prospects of the country are much altered for the better. During the visit of Sir Thomas Hardy to Callao, he passed four or five days in Lima, during which be had frequent conferences with the Viceroy; and it is said that the consequence was a much higher idea than before of the resources of that capital, and of the attachment of the people to Spain. " When be returned to Valparaiso, he declared to the merchants there his determination not to recog nize Lord Cochrane's blockade.—Di letter received yesterday at Lloyd's, states, that the British Com mander has required the immediate liberation of the three English vessels detained at Valparaiso, or other wise declares that he will take possession of them.l Lord Cochrane has surprised Arica, where lie landed with 500 men, and delivered up the place to the pil lage of his followers. He found in the port four ves sels, which also fell into his hands. Their names are, the Lord Cathcart, Colunrbia, Joseph, and Roberts.— The two first, however, had safely landed their car goes before he seized them. " The Independent Army' in Peru was not in a prosperous state when our informant visited its head quarters at Huaura. San Martin had sailed from the coast with a detachment of 1000 men, but its desti nation was then unknown. (This is the expedition which the accounts lately received by way ofda maica state at: 4000 men ; and add, that a total de• feat was sustained by them at Chorillas). The re mainder of his force continued at Huaura, under the command of Las Heras. They ate descri bed to have been in a very bad condition, the greater part of the men sick and in want of necessaries of every kind. To add to the distress of their situation, their com munication with Arenales at Pisco was in danger of being cut off, by a movement of the Spanish troops under the commaud of General Valdes and Iticcafort. " The country lying between Buenos Ayres and' Chili is infested to such a degree by the Monteneros, that it is rendered extremely dangerous to travellers, as in their search for plunder they do not very nicely discriminate in its objects. The Gentleman above mentioned was compelled to travel only by night, and concealed himself during the day, by which means he passed through in safety, but very few tra vellers venture to make the same experiment." GEORGE 11. was the last Sovereign who visited his Hanoverian dominions; his title was only Elector.— His present MAJESTY will be the first who ever en tered it with the rank and title of King. Of his MA JESTY'S brothers and sisters, there are now five upon the Continent, who are expected to meet him in Mt nover, viz. the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, his Viceroy ; the Duke of CUMBERLAND; the Queen Dowager of Won ?IMMO, formerly Princess Royal of England ; the Princess of HEssz-Homnuito; and Princess AUGUSTA. Lord and Lady STEWA RT, it is now understood, do not return to Vienna for some time, but are ex. pected to arrive at 'Wynyard to-morrow. Lady A'Coußv will leave town in a few day s , to join Sir WILLIAM A'Coutur, at Naples. Her ady ship will be accompanied by Mr. LUSHINGTON, who intends passing the winter in Italy. _ A Morning Paper states, that among the Gentle men who subscribed along with Sir WILLIAM RA; the Lord Advocate for Scotland, the Bond of Credit in favour of the Beacon Newspaper were the Solici tor-General, the Law Officer next in authority to the Lord Advocate. Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart. Mr. Co- LIN MACKENZIE, one of the principal Clerks of the Court of Session ; Dr. Jona hms, one of the Mi. sisters of Edinburgh, and leader of the Ministerial party in the Church of Scotland; Mr. HOP; Advo cate, son of the Lord President of the Court of Ses sion • Mr. FORBES, Advocate, Sheriff of Perthshire ; Sir WILLIAM Fonts% brother of the preceding; Mr. MONTPENNY, brother of Lord Pirsrict.sr, one of the Judges of the Court of Sesiion ; and Mr.Watroutops. The discovery of this bond is said to have II compro mised the safety of the greatest man of his country:" for, if report be true, Mr. JAMES GIBSON, W. S. one of how who had been grossly calumniated in the Beacon, " had thought proper to make such a demand upon Sir WALTER SCOTT as he could only be pre vented from answering in a similar hostile spirit by the interference of a common friend, Lord LAUDERDALE." —A Meeting of the Faculty of Advocates will, it is said, take place, " to consider what steps, they ought to take to testify their disapprobation" of the conduct of such of the members of their body as have beretH parties to the bond. The intetferecce of the Faculty will be justified by the example set by the present Loan PRESIDENT of the Court of Session (father ei the Mr. Bore who is a subscriber to the bond), who, when LORD Arivocivu, moved either the expulsion or censure (we forget which) of Mr. JOUN MORTIS. LAND, Advocate, fof being the conductor of a Paper commenced at Edinburgh, under the title of l'he Scots Chronicle; the objection to which was, not that it was established for the demolition of private character, but that it disseminated principles favour able to the rights of the People, and adverse to the interests of that Melvillite faction, which for so many years engrossed the whole functions of government in the northern part o: the Island. EAST INDIES. The letters from India state, th a t the hor r ibl e ail, lady of the cholera morbus is agai n making dread/4 ravages. It seems to have become an additiotal cot plaint in India ; it flies about i n a ll directinei, h attacks troops on or after a march. A Madras riak battalion lost three Officers and 150 S epoys w h et the march. Out of a deta:hment of 200 g epoysas Seroor, one-tenth have fallen victim s , and they b ut lost the same proportion of camp followers., but toOfficersh a violent aveb attack. affected,n but t .... of th e i r L adies died after Ott e singular that the cause cannot be discovered. Dr. M ARDON, the sur geon, says, that in his extensive practice in th e di y i. sion of the army under his care in the De ccan; b e is convinced that it is not infectious, as none of t i le sea geons who have visited patients under the mo st* gravated cases, have caught the infection. Cid & ness, vomiting, purging, and spasms in the stri rd4 are the tbital symptom. Bleeding and large a sio of calomel are the usual remedies. Extract from the Bombay Gazette, May 2,1821:`, On the 2:2d February, accounts arrived from J u dk announcing the success of the Turkish Army in Ah y , sinia, under his Excellency ISHMAEL PASHA, Whi t h stated that they had taken 1 - ossession of Sennar, sh e capital, after a battle, in which 300 Turks and Sol Nubians were slain.

By the last quotations of the average it appears, that fbr the week ending being the last of the six succeeding A. price of wheat was 635. 10d. the quarter higher, by soti►e shillings, than the averap vious week. This, however, will hay opening the ports to that grain, a cont is not now considered probable, as, since tion of the above average, the price sensibly fallen. A stronger expectation . with regard to the import of oats and barley, wad are rising rapidly in the market, and passing the 6• mks of the prohibition price. A farmer of Hurstperpoint, near Lewes, in Sono actually grew last year, on seventy-three acre land, the extraordinary quantity of eighty-illation/ 5 and six bushels of wheat ! In consequence of the present depression dell markets, Lord MACDONALD has allowed a deducing of IVO per cent. on the rents of his estate in Skye. with an understanding that this liberal allowanceol be continued until the times mend. In consequence of the colliers having left desk the price of coals has risen 50 per cent. in Glare. The result of the idleness being protracted will hea l importation from other districts.
