'L lic:ttt poor fellows were just slung up as I passml by, with a small cord made fiat to the latch of the door, three or four Turks standing by ut the time. A few days back we saw eight Greek bodies float by our ship, %lid sometimes they have k;lled twenty Greeks in one night. Since we have been hero the Greeks have taken font the Turks a cor vette and two brigs, anal burnt a seventy-fbur and six brigs, by sending fire ships in among them." A physician of Madrid, who is said to have made the yellow-lever tho object of his study fur twenty years, bus published a letter elainst the measures of precaution adopted by the Government. He ob serves, that tho fert.s which these measures excite, the want of care experienced by the sick who are abandoned, , and the famine which follows the sus pension of all ctimmunication with a town, are all circumstances which extend the ravages of the fever to those who would otherwise have resisted the con tegion, IL! ad'. ises the cleaning of places where the disease prevails, and the allowing persons not affected to remove to healthy districts, Aloxitit.Y At:lt ICeimutt t.
