An establishment, which must be attended with the greatest advantages to commerce, hus been moth talked of for some days past. It is in con templation to establish a kind of telegraphic post between Paria awl the principal sea-ports. Com munications may take place by night as well es by day, and all private persons, by paying a certain duty, may resort to this expeditious mode of con. I-cystic'. Information may be immediately g iven of the arrival of merchant vessels. A trial has been already made, and it is calculated a communication can be made from Bourdeaux to Paris in the space of five minutes. A company, it is added, offers to make all the advances necessary fur this great establishment. •• Letters from Saragosts, of the 3d, antlounee that the yellow fever has disappeared at Frew', ',lure it had aff.cted only one person, who had been brought front - Mequinenza.

Yesterday his Majesty transseted business with the Marquis of Lasuriston, and the Minister of the Intcrior. The Journal .de Toulouse says—" The ravages of contagious disease continue at Barcelona, and to such an extent that in three days (the 33, 4th, and 6th of October) upwards of a thousand deaths took Place "; whole iks are spent in removing the dead bodies ; every house is a place of desolation and of mourning. Children up to the age of twelve think to fly . from .the contagion ; but for the most part deprived of their parents, they fall into a state of the moat abject wretchedness ; their only resource is io the protection of the Government. The fever rages with still greater fury in Tortosa and its en virons, nearly all the men are dead, the women only withstand it'; they are themselves obliged to carry their husbands to. the grave, for such is the fright ful condition of those districts that eve►y feeling of h u manity is at an cod.; and, to add still more to the horror of this picture, it is stated, that prowl sionsare beginning to fail at Barcelona." Tile Journal de Lyon, in a private correspond ence from Marseilles, states that, by the advice of the Physicians, who are of opiuion that the seed of contagion is so virulent and widely spread, that it is to be feared it will recommence its ravages next summer, it has been resolved to establish a laza retto of precaution at the island of Ratonneau, which will accommodate about one hundred sick perms*, and which being at the distance of a league and a half from Marseilles, will not he at tended with any danger to the city.

It having been observed that the inventors of akehoolls endeavour to agitate the minds of the public by the must ridiculous news and the most absurd reports, we hasten to declare, that an extra ordinary courier which arrived this night from Ma laga, was dispatched by the Political Chief of that province, fur the sole purpose of bringing informa tion that the whole of the province enjoyed the moat complete health, and that the precautions of establishing a cordon, and cutting off the commu nication *lnch had been ordered by the Comman dant Gene►ul, and by the Supreme Board of Health at Grenada, were considered as premature.

The Cortes are constantly engaged in discwolitig the important plan for the new division of the Spa nish territory. CADIZ, SEPTgMBVR 22. The Supreme Board of Health has just published another notice, of which this* is the substance : The Board having been informed by a communication from the Constitntional Alcalde of Port St. Msry, that there were some people ill, whose symptoms were analogous to the yellow fever, sent commission ers to inquire into the fact, accompanied by two physicians, who after inspecting those patients, unanimously declvred that there were yesterday above twenty persons ill of a disorder with the character istics of the yellow fever in the town, dispersed in various quarters, and six in the Hospital of Obser vation. The Board has in consequence, in an extraordi nary sitting held this day, most strictly enjoined the Municipality of Port St. Mary to carry into effect the measures prescribed fur such cases, in the instances of 16th Auguot, 1816, and 26th July, 1818, end to follow the other regulations for pre venting the spreading of the contagion. The Board, liiithful to its principles of publishing the state of the health of the province, whether it be favourable or otherwise, resolved that the above should be com municated to all the other Supreme Boards, and to all whom it may .conrern, that they may take all necessary precautions fcr the preservation of the public health, which, the Boaid adds, has not yet suffered any diminution in the city of Cadiz, or the other towns within its jurisdiction. MURCIA, 11EPTRMRER 30. Some fears have been excited here by the death of a person of a disorder which seemed doubtful, but, on inspecting the body, the faculty discovered the real nature of the disease. The Board of Health takes this opportunity of declaring that this city • LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 92, 1821. On Thursday arrived at the Motherbank the American brig Diyude, GEORGE Wt [Atm, Master. from Peteriburgh, in Virginia (United States). It appearing on examination by the Superintendent of Quarantine, that one man had died during the voyage, and that two others of the crew were then ill on board with fever, the medical gentleman who is always called on in cases of this kind, visited alongside, and, ass precaution for the safety of the public health, the vessel was placed under quaran tine. One of the sick men died on Friday, the other is fast recovering. The French brig le Nep tune, Captain BLONDIER, from Malaga, is 1111,0 arrived at Portsmouth in distress. We have received Paris Papers of Thursday last. The ■ccouuts contained in them front Spain are painfully interesting, from the statements they give respecting the continued progress of the yellow fe ver in Barcelona and Tomos*. It is said that dur ing the course of three days not less than 1,000 deaths had occurred in Barcelona and its neigh bourhood only, and this calculation of the mortality of the place is taken solely from the public esta blishments. The private houses are said to be al most deserted, and that so dreadful have been the nines of the fever, men cannot be found to per form for the deceased the rites of sepulture, but that the wives or daughters of the deceased •re compelled to convey their deceased husbands and fathers to the grave. It is observed in these ac counts, as a very singular circumstance—well de serving, indeed, the most serious attention of the naturalist, the physician, and the philosopher—that the tnslady has been most destructive to males, and that with few exceptions the females have escaped its virulence. Can it be that the utter devotedness of the females to the cares of the sick has absorbed *very feeling of terror, and that the system not being relaxed by fear, is on that account less susceptible of the contagion that surrounds ►t ? We should be glad to learn from some of our medical friends a more scientific ex planation of this circumstance. The Paris Papers announce the departure of the Emperor ALEXANDER from Peteraburgh, and his arrival at Witepsk, on his way to visit the various corps of his army. Dispatches were expedited to the Courts of Constantinople, Vi enna, Berlin, and Paris, a short tune pre vious to the Essmoe's departure from Pe. tersborgh, and a superior Officer of the Staff was, at the same time, sent with dispatches to the Count de WITTGENSTEIN, who commands the army that is stationed on the Turkish fron tiers. Baton STROGONOFF has left Odessa for Witepsk, fur the purpose of there meeting the Est ' PEROR. These movements, some time since, would ' have been considered very important, as the imme diate precursors of war; but there seems now to be but little chance of a war between Russia and Turkey, and the EMPEROR'. journeys have there fore become less interesting to the public. Our national vanity cannot fail of be;ng gratified by the very flattering manner in . which our KING has been received by the inhabitants of the several countries through which he has had occasion to pass on his route to Hanover. It would seem as if pre judices—the growth of centuries—had beeu suddenly dispelled by his presence, and as if a more kindly feeling towards Englund and Englishmen were be ginning to influence those whom politico! dissen tious have long taught us to regard as our heredi tary enemies. The flattering cheers of Frenchmen must have conveyed a strange sensation to the heart of a King whose Government has been chiefly dis tinguished in the annals of our country by his triumphs over their dearest prejudices, and whose armies had shaken to its centre the throne of their fondest affections. Such expressions of esteem and respect must have appeared the more singular when they were contrasted with the manner io which his MAJESTY had been received during his recent journey from Ireland in some towns of the principality ► the title of which he had so long borne. Thine who accompanied his MAJESTY from Ireland, aid also to the Continent, say, that he landed with more confidence at Calaii than he did at Milford, and was received with more marks of respect; to which the good people of the piiiicipality jealously add, that he seemed anxious to hide himself ■t Milford from the sight of the people who had assembled to see him, while he !hewed himself ostentatiously to the good people of Calais and its vicinity ; and that his MAIMITY COW. find time in Calais and other parts of France for meeting the military and civil authorities of the place, and fir receiving the appleuses of the mob in ►he theatres, idthough he hastened to his carriage at Milford through lines of troops, as if he thought himself in danger, and hurried out of the town in such extraordinary haste that it wag with difficulty horses could be provided to drag him to llaverfordwest, and no other postil lion could he procured than a Methodist Preacher, who, however, mounted for the important occasion his best suit of official black ! The effect of his appearance, aided by that of his miserable horses, was irresistibly ludicrous, and some unlucky wights, more awake to the absurdity of the scene than to the greatness of the occasion, are said to have ac tually burst into an irreverent laugh as the royal carriage was put into motion. This was highly improper ; but thi►, and the still less respectful manner in which the royal procession was greeted as it pissed through Cactinerilien, Abergsverniy, iind some other tOWIIS in South %Vales, must have tacit quite forgotten iu the joyful acclemations the good people of the several parts of France ■nd Germany through which his MAZIISTY has passed. It has indeed been asserted, with little reverence for our national pride, that no inconsiderable portion of this popular exultation was excited on the Con tinent rather by the operation of certain showers of tilrer and gold, profusely scattered among the populace, than by the gracious presence of our Sovi reign himself. Whateter inay be the truth of this statement, it must be confessed that, as old Sir Betert Bramble would 8.,y, " There's no flattery in it." Possibly popularity might have been acquired in Wales by the same means, if they had beets adopted. Silver and gold might even among the Cambrian, have super seded the notion which at the time of the KING'S journey through their country very ge nerally prevailed among them, that the QURILII had fallen a victim to the severity of the prosecu tion which had been directed against her; but upon shouts and greetings so acquired, no man of gene rous or delicate feelings could, rre think, place any considerable value. In the expenditure of the money which may be necessaiy for the enjoyment of this Species of luxury, we know what may' be our concern. Are we to support this extravagance ? Are the showers of gold sud silver scattered among the populace of or of Lisle, or of any other town on the Contineut, to form at item in the supply which is to be proposed to Parliament in the next Session ? and with this we may in a general way ask whether this country is to defray the expenses of his MA.. Jertirs visit to his German dominions ? Are his English or his Hanoverian subjects to defray the charges of their I{ !tic's excursion ? The benefit of his MAJESTY'S visit, whatever it may be, will belong exclusively to the people of Hanover; upon them,. therefore, alone ought the charge of the excursion to foll. The people of this kingdom ought no more to be required to defray the expenses of the K itta's visit to [hoover than the people of Hanover to defray the expenses of the KING'S visit to Ireland. His MAJESTY, in his capacity of King of Hanover, is as distinct from the King of Great Britain and Ireland, as the Kings of the two countries respec tively would be, each from the other, if the two crowns chanced not to be united upon the same head. From the moment, therefore, that the King of ENGLAND left the shores of England for the purpose merely of visiting his kingdom of Hanover, his MAJESTY ought to be considered as resting exclusively upon his Hanoverian dominions, and from them alone ought lie to draw the fonds necessary for supporting his expenses during the time of his absence front Great Britain. We should be as unwilling as any persona to abridge in the slightest degree his MAJESTY'S mesas, either of personal enjoyment or of benevolence, and Vale matter rested solely between his MAJESTY and the purse of this nation, we should have no hesitation in giving our vote for the liberal disburse ment of ■ll his MAJIsTY'S expenses; but where the question lies between Great Britain and Hano ver. the 'into's interests or convenience need not to be involved in the consideration-of it, and io this view of the matter we can see no reason why the Exchequer of Hanover should be relieved from a burden solely for the purpose of imposing it upon the supposed superior wealth of this kingdom. General the Earl of CHATHAM, K.G. with his Staff; Major-General CANEY, Colonel Wltiott, Major FAUI.DA, and Capt. flatFoen, have arrived at Portsmouth to take their passage in the Attire frigate, Sir J. A. GORDON, for Gibraltar, of which ga►rison the Noble Earl has been some time ap pointed Governor. The Active will sail the first favourable wind. Captain Sasso, Aide-de-Camp to General DON, will also go passenger. There is a paragraph in the Jaunts/ de Lyons, which states that the yellow fever has appeared at Leghorn, but the statement seems to rest upon no sufficient authority. • • !.
