During the sojourn of' his Ma jesty the King of England at Lille, many persona solicited the honour of being admitted into his pre sence. Letters from Perpignan, dated the 29th ultimo, gives the following'accounts : The fever continues to make great ravages, both at Barcelona and Tortosa, where it Is impossible to take an accouut of the number of Cie dead. The infection has penetrated to Fraga and Mequinenza. —Adviccs from Palma, in the island of Majorca, dated the 14th, state that the contagion had been introduced into that island. It is known that it also exists at Neres de la Frontcru, and at Part St. Mary's in Andalusia. The bulletins published at Barcelona report that from the 19th to the 25th of September inclusive, there were at Dem lig. New Cases.

VALENCIA, SEPT. 19.—A proclamation was is sued yesterday, stating that a contagious fever had manifested itself in the island of Majorca, against the spreading of which the usual precaution had been adopted, but that it was confined to persons who were in constant 'attendance on the sick : that it wns not more contagious than an ordinary putrid fever, and had not a great analogy with the yellow fever. _ _ _ The Junta announces with regret that the ma• lady has been introducea by the ruinous practiced of smuggling. The Junta, painting in strong colours the dreadful situation of such places afflicted with such a scourge, calls on the citizens of Valencia to subscribe for the relief the inhabitants of Majorca and Tortosa. MALAGA. SEPT. 18.—The inhabitants of this city enjoy the best health; those persons who are ill in the hospitals and in the cities have only ordinary disorders.—Madrid, Sept. 26. Lis ow, SEPT. 27.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes on the 22t1, M. Riberio Tellers, as reporter of the Committee of Finance, asked and obtained leave to read a proposition which lie thonght of consequence, the committee considering the bases of the altera tions to be made in the custom hail reductxl them to the three following points:— I . That all the productions of the country which shall be conveyed from one part to ano her, or to different places in the kingdom, shall be favoured. . 2. That such foreign productions us are similar to those produced in the kingdom, shall be subjected to heavy duties or wholly prohibited; and that fo reign productions which supply the raw materials indispensable to the national manufactures shall be favoured. 3. With respect to the colonial productions, they shall remain as they are, till the deputies from the colonies being arrived, general measures may be adopted to regulate the future commerce of the pro vinces, proposing to lessen the duties on the produce of the Portuguese dominions, and to augment them on the similar productions of foreign colonies. EAST FRIESLAND, SEPT. 22.—We learn that the maritime tolls and transmit duties at the mouth of the Rhine and the Meuse in the Netherlands are to be wholly abolished, which will be a most fortunate event for filo trade of Germany and its manta:it:to ries on the Rhine and in Westphalia, which have become so considerable within the last ten years.— When the Upper Ems shall, in a few years be made navigable and connected with the Lippe, there is reason to hope that the trade and manufactures of Germany will prosper as the fetters wilich have hitherto inipcdtal them shall be broken, agti a direct and free communication also opened with South America anti the West Italics. victims augments On the 21st, three Spanish vessels, bound to Marseilles, were driven by stress of weather to take shelter at Port Vendre. One of them came from Seville, a second from Alicant, and the third from Barcelona. The latter had on board six seamen of the French ship la Josephine, nearly the whole of the crew had died of the fever in the port of Bar celona. The inhabitants of Barcelonetta, who were first attacked with the contagion, combined about three weeks ago, and forced the military post. It was this outrage which was ones£ the principal causes of introducing the fever into Barcelona. A similar attempt was renewed on the 2Gth ult. but the mi litia of Barcelona, more alive to the fatal result of such proceedings, repulsed theta, on which occasion five men were killed and s eight wounded. Save- HANOVER, SEPT 29 —His Majesty, our ._ reign, who will arrive here on the Gth of October, will quit his incognito upon entering our territory. —On account. of a misunderstanding between the Duke of Cambridge and the Elector of Hesse Cassel, his Majesty is expected to come by the Osnaburgh road, which, in the present unfavourable state of the weather, is none of the best. The necessary orders are given for his reception in that city. OCT. s.—By the accounts received yesterday from Aix-la-Chapelle, we have learnt that his Majesty having stayed u day lenger at Brussels, would nut be at Aix-la-Chapelle tilltke 2d. By the accounts received this morning from iilunster (where General Blomefield had already al - lived), we find that his Majesty intended to stop a Say at Dusseldoril, and comequently would not enter into the German dominions till to-morrow. Between Munster and Osnaburgh his Majesty will not take the way first proposed, by Lingeuch, but that by Giandortf. All along the road preparations arc making, us well as the shortness of time will permit, to express the joy of the pa pie ut seeing his Majesty in this part of his tlominious. Ali the we:, trim' the trontiers triumphal arches are erected. At Osuaburgh a nu merous guard of honour, both horse and foot, 'has been flamed, and the same at Nieuburgh. For the conveyance of the immediate attendants of his Ma jesty, orders are given at every stage to have relays in readiness—(besides the 1l s fur the King's car riage), horses for two berlins With six horses, a bag gage uugon with six horses. Beside; these, four vaitieges and thirteen 'wises are required for the Martinis of Londonderry Lied General Blometield, who were to active at Osnahurgh yesterday, and male hero beti:re his Majesty.

TiALITAX, SKIT. 17.—The contl tgration this morning wits one of the most awful and destructive ever witnessed in 'Willis:. It originated in Sack ville.strect, in the bakery occupied by Shay and Mihaly, and butbre it was discovered, had gained an alarming height. It was near two o'clock when the bells were rung. The troops. seamen ut• his .Mujes ty's ships, and inhabitants soon assembled ; the en gines were judiciously placed, lines tiu•incd to chi'. ierent reservoirs of water, and every exertion made to extinguish the fire; but we regret to state that betime any check could be given to it, the whole block of buildings, with the exception of a house situate at the corner of Suckville and Blowers'•street, occopied by Mr. H. Croskill, the houses occupied by Mrs. Neilson and Mr. T. Muirlieud, in Burring tan-street, and a stable belonging to J. W. Johnston, Esq. in Cramville-street, were consumed. Fur some time great apprehensions were enter tained that tke fire would extend to the houses on the oppusito sides of the street, but fortunately it did not. Some buildings were scorched, said nearly' every patic of gla►s in the front of the residence of S. 13. Roble, Esq. was deatNyed by the excessive heat of the fire. Of the property burnt only about 1,5001. were ensured, and toe calamity has mostly taken where it will lung be severely felt—upun wi dows and orphan children—upon industrious trades- l'itreit 94(1. men, whose whole stock of wordly wealth was in vested in the tenements they occupicd. To the troops and the seamen of the ships of war the town is, as usual, greatly indebted for the exer tions made by them ; , among the most active on this distressing occasion, we noticed his excellency the Lieutenant Governor encouraging and exciting, by his influence and example, the allots of every per son within his view. Sir Bobert Le Poer Trench, Colonel of the 74th regiment, who arrived here on Friday from New Brunswick; Ckdonel Mackie, the commandant of the garrison; Colonel Gauntlett; Lieutenan t s Colonels Arnold. Ximines, at Water house, Major Crawfonl, and indeed every officer of the garrison and military departments were distin guished for their activity and exertions. - To Captains Fanshawe, Bouchier, Collier •and Napier, and the.officers of the ships, every praise is due. They directed the eflbrts of the seamen in the most advantageous manger. We must here parti cularly notice the intrepid conduct of Capt. Napier, We observed him on the roof of one of the houses, directing and working with a party of axe-men, and rendering very important services. We cannot help, however, observing that we witnessed an extraordinary apathy on the part of the inhabitants; they stood in crowds, and appeared to view the progress of the devouring element with . perfect indifference; some of these persons possess real estates in the town, and may, before the lapse of a week, need the assistance of the; more meri torious townsmen, to protect them from a calamity similar to that which many experienced this morn ing. Such people as are not inclined to sender as sistance at fires had better remain at thuir homes; they only clog tile streets, and impede the exertions of the active and humane. Twenty-one houses were consumed, with othei f valuable property. 4 'c MINISTERIAL STA7'EMENT OF THE QUAR TER'S REVENUE.
