Aticedadote lout Niue to roar, sod from Sees. to city of Cairo hail lust a great many inhabitants the same year, by the plague. When the alloy arrived at Cairo and united ails the Grand Vizier'• army, many of the graves in which the inhabitants had been hinted who hail died of the p13:11C, were opened, and the bodies stripped of their eloth• with which the Turks covered themselves. and yet whine of either the British or Torkiah armies was infected with the plague. The disorder erased 'whi nes , t h e lo t h sad 9.411 t of Jese. at the precise time when its co nation had been anti, 'paled and anowed loy the tiohabitatin, except at Aboukir, where it conttpued tto exist soon tone longer. It was also affirmed In us by the rreaeli officer., that although the plate had razed to ('airs that ,tsar with very gnat violence, soul canietl off some of the Freud, army. yet isoloillistanding a constant rommunication was held between the garrienn stationed in the citadel and th e ioil is iiis s uts o f the town, the soldiers its the citadel were not affected, in any one instance, with the disorder. Any thousands of the inhabitants of Lower Egypt hail ilie Lihat year of the plague. The India', army. passing through Upper f opt, bad traversed a country its which shoot sixty Itionsand inhabitants were said to Istyr wriihnit whole szes haying Wyss destroyed ; but yet the troops of that army brought so hlreltiion with them, nor wir e ally ono.. ohms adopted to prevent contagion on their junction wills the British European army. 'no att.! eircumnaotros I was sny. self an eye-witness. I would with also to stale, that as we none,' through the country, the inhabitants powers' out tat us particular villages that were infected with Wagon-, and winch plague did not extend out of those particular vit. 'ages to any of the contiguous villages, although there was no precaution whatever used as to the rommumicat ion with the inhabitants of the infected villages. Conversing with Dr. Desegnettes, the Chief Physicists of the retoldh army, and M. Aesilini, the Head Surgeon of. the Ereorli %limy, they assured me, that whenever a battalion infected with the plague had been marched nut of the tufectril phhre, that the soldiers recovered and never conveted the infection to other garrisons; and that troops man Wog into that infected gar rison which hail been vacated, did out become themselves inferted, unless they remained there longer 'bait eight or leis days. And M. Assilini further assures' one, that several French officers and roliliowe. who bail the placer. hail re moved themselves, •or been removed, whets sick of the plague, iato other places, they had almost always recovered. Hat he said his great diflienty was in purimatliog the people to make the exerting' of movement ; fur they were generally so enervated that they preferred to remain where they were nod meet their fate. What is the inference von draw from these hen, gene. rally?—l should he very unwilling to stale any positive in (entice; but in my own opi .. i, on 1 think the plague is a fever originating its a particular state of the atmosphere, produced from local eaoses and confined to their influence. Have you any idea of those causes?-1 shwild suppose it must arise from a putrid state of the atmosphere; because those villages which were ittfeeted, were stated by the inha bitants to be genenolty those where epee moil had been left longest, and the moisture only, after consileralole stagna tion, had been absorbed. The Nile annimily overflows all the inbabited lasd with a hotly of water four or five feet in depth, and charged with a very rich mud, which it deposits. After 'levers' months, when the Nile falls, the water, in a comparative pure slate, is carried tiff the land by canals, which at a prescribed season, are opened for that plumose. As the sun gains power, the moisture of the mud which has been left is absorbed, until the mud becomes quite dry and brittle; the absorption is so great that the grimud is steer all its surface broken by large fissures, sometimes three or four feet in depth, and which render the passage for horses extremely dangerous. Is it a sandy mad?—No, it is a clayey mud; an extremely rich mud, quite fat and greasy. Then it appears from your testimony, that where the greatest caution was exerted the plague &craned, and where it was left to its chance it did not occur ?—Yes; the troope, however, being is eoustant movement, except al intervals of three or four days. And I should have no fear whatever of going into ally plate infected with the plague, orovided 1 was suit obliged to stay there altogether during the plague season. Should you have any objection to touch a person infected with the plague ?—No. Did !on ever witch a person infected with the plague ? No, not knowingly ; but about five years ago 1 wrist to Ctuistantinople, and the plague had broken out there at three time. 1 took no precaution soggiest it, and went through thine parts of the kiwis which were affected by it. I never felt any appreheinion ; nail I neither was infected myseif, nor did 1 cumnionicate the disease to other persons. Did you lose any men by the plague, at Alexandria and Aboukir?—Yes. Have you any idea of the number that were affected ?-1 should think, between the 14th Apt-linnet Orith August, ISOI, about 400 were affected, not of which 173 died. Were they natives of podia?—No; Europeans. All of them ?Ail of them ; meienry was found on that occasion to be the best remedy. Oils were tried, but mercury was found to be the most efficacious. Were any of the natives of India afflicted'-1 do not know what happened to the Indian army/ as they passed hack *through the country to India, but I know that none of them were afflicted in the advance. Yon hews by stating, that a very great destruction of Turks had taken place the year before; do y o u consider that the pulrefaetion of those 12,000 Turks conduce , " to in. feet the atmosphere ?—lt leniently made the state of the at. mosphere much worse; but wills regard to power:legion. I must inform the Committee, tiro bodies do not corrupt there as ihey tin in Europe. The !mend is so very salt, sad the air so extremely rarified, that ilo/11.11 lICCOMP rather put. ionized. When we came to the place where the remains of those Turks were, we form) the scalps of many, with the hair on them, and parts of their clothes; and though we might look ow it as a place of infection, I cauunt say that there was any putrefaction there, ;n the general sense of that term, when applied to the deconsogoeitioto of bodies. 1 have seen bother lying . 011 the surface for months, but from the heat of the sun they lie almost in a mummy state. Moisture is erstonite , for putrefactigosi?—Certainty ; and there is a very heavy slew at nhld ; bet the ground is swo strongly impregnated witleealt, that 1 presume the effect of that moisture is enuosteracteil. Was there no smell in this place?—Yes; list ground. had an offensive smell ; lint she sand in that country, over which the Nile sloes not flow, haul also generally a peculiar sickly smell ; however, that place had, ill our 11011111)11, a remark ably offensive smell, its addition to the natural disagreeable morn of the sand. No use hail any wish to have any com munication with the spot; but there being a fort on That polies, we were obliged to have commonienti tttt with it, moil all the boats were at first obliged to come there. How far is Aboukir from Alexandria ?—Abuat eight or ten miles. Whether right or wrong, Ido nut know, hut we always aseellsed the plague at Aboukir to the slate of the atmosphere, (occasioned by the pervious ilecoompootiti tttt of email bodies, because every possible precaution haul been taken to prevent the infection by communication. The camp ,was is fact in a stale of qisarautiow, in cosaeopienee of the precaution, takes. You have stated, that the French officers thong their garrison at Cairo had sever been nattiest that year in Ike citadel; are you aware that they took any precaution in prevent it ?-1 know there were none takeu; the cited. I contained a vsey small portion of the garrison, peshsps wily twelve hundred men.
