Seven or eight have been attacked with the disease, one of whom , glts died. It has hitherto been a question, whether Sr not the fever with which our cities have been L atißißed, was Imported ? The circumstance of its .. appearing in the Penitentiary, where there was no pcssible chance of its being communicated from any other place, proves most incontestibly, that it is of domestic origin. No unusual sickness prevails ii the city at this time." so ZW.YOIIIt, SIFT. 2t. EXTR ACT. ' -.- ti. I " Mis.issippi Tindery. Aug 11. t " Gov. Claiborne was here all last week. and ll►eing called by came's, lef: Natchez yeitexday morning. The Spanish party that had ber,u milt to stop our exploring party (Under Feeman) had ar , lived at the Cado towns on the Red River, twentt Jays after our party had parsed the same place, and fading the Americas flag flying there, cut it down, and rebuked the Indians for suffering it to be Pet up. or us to enter the Spanish territory. The Cado Chief replied, that the Cadas were an independent people!, and the American; their friends, and they would protect them. 0 The Spaniards set off in yunnit of tittr Orty • • up the Red River, bat they had got 150 or 200iniles in advance of them ; 600 Spanish cavalry had ar rivedoelves oaft the post Sabine, postfr ci from which and hici: possessed coptaio Toroor the h z driven them last Spring. This circumstance re. (mired the presence of the Governor to call out th; I Militia, which he had been organizing for some time previous. 0 An old soldier. from the Aplusia country, who lasted here to-day, ma Governor Claiborne yes terday, 20 miles beyond the Mississippi ; he had tired oat horse, and had got another, and proceeded rapidly on his journey. Before he left the Aplusia. the Milita there had been called not to aid the re. gular troops, and the spirit of the people was very - much roused. Celonel Cushing had determined to fight the Spaniards who had crossed the Sabine.— TN- fr,ops under his command, at Natchitoches, ' may be about 000 regulats ; the militia of this terri tory are ordered to be in vadiness. " The soldier reports from Aplusia, that 2,000 more Spanirds were on their way to the Sabine,' with 500 mules, laden wish provisions, &c. This. if true. will make a farce superior in number to our 06 Regulars ; and some entertain doubts, Iluingh - r do net, of the attachment of the Militia on the other side. In this territory, we can, without difficulty. have 700 or 1000 Volunteers, at a few hours notice, and whose activity will render them fit for imme diate service. At any rate, if the Spaniards do but come down, we shall be able to give a good account of them. The Spaniards report, that they mean to re-occupy all the Louisiana country, and say they have emissaries in the United States." ~ ANOTHER LITTIap DATIO AUG. 25. " Since my former letter, another express arrived at Net Adams, from Natchitoche, advising that the Apanixh forces had arrived within twenty miles (I that port, and that all the troops at Fort Adams were ordered to march to the assistance of the g ar- Bison a: Natchitoches, which exptfled to be attacked befare they could arrive there. Advice' from Loftus Heights, from an authentic siurce, confirm these accounts, and add, that all the troops were to march from the heights the day before yesterday ; that post will be left in charge of an Officer and a strong NNW* body, to guard :4000 stand of arras, and §ti pieces of cannon, which ent Government Prudently placed here long ago, as a provision against exigencies. " General Wilkinson has not yet cotbe down the river. Colonel Cushing, who is said to be an able officer, commands at Natchitoches, but, united with the force from Fort Adams. will hardly exceed 700 men ; the Spaniards have 900 horse and 2000 in fantry near the Sabine; so that our American metal ' will be now tried, and oar enterprise and intrepidity will have both a fair opportunity for exertion; and for giving a striking example to these unjustifiable violatots of treaties. " This territory contains five militia regiments, the eldest commanding officer is Colonel Ozma n. If called into service, we shall want two Brigadiers and a Major-General, which, no doubt, the Presi dent will make." " Paw ORLEANS. AUG 22. " By a letter which arrived in town this day, we are informed, that 900 Spaniards have passed over the Sabine River, and stationed themseles within twelve miles of Natchitoches. The American no ps are new making preparations to meet them." 88 Eight days ago a duel was fought near Fort Adams, by Nathaniel Evans, Esq. and Captain Richmond, of the United States army, in which the latter fell : he was shot dead.

Three Gottenburgh Mails arrived, at an early hour last morning. The following curer% of a letter it the only part of their contents of any interest :- 4. Lund, in ScanM, Off. 23. " t have to tell you sad news ! The Prussian Army is to tally defeated. Toe Queen of Pruesia and her Children are at this moment in Stralsund, whither it is sad the King Swe den 1721 sent over to invite her to come over and take refuge in this coon try ." The Bulletins of the Grand Army carry down the operations to the 20th inclusive, at which date, the French had only reached Magdeburgh on the left; and did not, on the right, arrive at Bertha un til the 24th. The defeat alluded to in the above en trad, therefore, evidently relates to the battle of • the 14th. Of what passed in Stralsund, how- ever, the writer in Lund may be presumed to be better informed ; and it is very probable that the Queen of Pastas♦ and her childsaa have sought an asylum in that country. It is very true, that the Hamburgh Paper represented Her MAJLSTY at Custrin, at that date, but the intel ligence is very unsatisfailory and confused, of every thing relative to Prussia, since the 14th. Be sides, the very papers which stated that the Quatro was at Cumin, add, that she had been previously at Steuin. Why, having gene so far north as Stet tin, she should turn back to Custtin, we cannot easily conceive. The inference, therefore, is, that from Stettin she continued her route for Stralsund. When the acrimony with which BONAPAITZ has pursued this ami.shle woman, is considered, every good mind must feel a■ increased interest in her s rfety. Imperfc.l, however, as the intelligence from the theatre of war, ►y the Elbc, has been, we are not likely to be gratified by its continuance. The ordinary communication by. post is completely suspended at Hamburgh. Letters were neither forwarded nor received ; and the Mails of the 24th and 28th, fcr Prussia, Russia, Ac. having been brought back there, the Postmaster gave notice, on the ere:ring cf the 51st, "that he would uo - longer receive letters for any of those countries, nit he could sot 'engage to forvratd them, until some political change took place." We have received American Papers to the 14th last, from which we hive mask some extradts. The destrultion of the French ship Lope- Neu*, of 74 guns, by the boats of the ittiampus, on the American coast, is objefted to as a breach of neutral rights ; and the French Consul at Norfolk has refused to acknowledge her crew as prisoners of war, alledging that she was taken within the juris dietan of the United States. The disputes between the Americans and the Spaniards, respecting their boundaries in Louisiana, have assumed a serious ap pearance. A Spanish force, of 3000 men, had passed the Red River, determined to attack the Ameri cans, who were preparing for resistance. A letter, of which the following is a espy, was received yesterday by a respeCtable house in town, from its Correspondent at Cork Cork, November 2. " Our present occasion for writing to you is, to inform you that a vowel is jest arrived at this pert from Lisbon, in seven days pang., the Captain of which reports, that a vessel had arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils, with the intelligence that the Spaniards had tallied, being reinforced from the other provinces, and had slackest Buena Arra, and succeeded in recapturing that important place; we have mot ►een able to see the Captain, but we hope by the nest post to send you farther particulars" This account is not credited. —The Trabiarlsie Packet, arrived on the Ist instant at Falmouth from Lisbon, in five days, brought rus intelligence of this nature ; and yet, if the dates are correCt, she sailed from Lisboa &day later than the vessel arrived at Cork.

He states, that two French ships of the line and one frigate were in the Chesapeak, and one ft ;gate in the Dela ware. They had been.surveyed, and laid up to undergo repairs, which were estimated at 180,000 dollars. The lisllera, Law, from Charleston, is on shore, near Liverpool.

On Tuesday, the remains of the late much lamented General Sincoe, were removed from his apartments, at the Rev. Archdeacon Mooaa's, in Exeter, to his family seat at Wolford Lodge, for interment. The funeral was most respeflably at tended; three mourning coaches followed the hearse, in which were the chief mourners, the confidential friends of the late General, sad his servants. After them came the General's carriage, attended by two servants in deep mourning, on horseback. In suc cession we noticed the following gentlemen in car riages ; Generals Thewles and Thomas, with the staff, Lords gill ro,d an d G m •es, Sir Ht.,l},rd Nonbcote, Sir William Pala, Sir John Kennaway, the Malt Stleffif, Admiral Richard Graves, Mr. Baring, Mr. Morshead, Colonel Chester, Cotun a ei cco C u o n la: nage, Major Dickenson, Mr. D.lryrsole, &c. All the troops having quitted Exeter, on of the EleEtion, the Exeter regiment of Volunteers assembled at the three-mile stone, on the Honiton road, to pay a compliment to the deceasi.! Central. From thenec, his remains were escorted hy a squad ron of Dragoons, the Volunteers assembling at various passes to line the road, whilst the procession passed on. At Honiton, the troops were all drawn out, and minute guns fired. In short, every respzet which could be paid to an esteemed and mii:h lamented Commander. was shown on this occasion. The body was interred by torch light, alscut six in the evening. --t er j y . imr- "'w " /1 t - Nir•%. :or ligor INVERNESS 7 HEATRIC iLs.
