THE S U N. 1101.1E11 COM DICZRE rAL3VM A.VOLAT? L N D 0 N, TUESDAI," 3 NOTEMILER 6, t 804; THe accounts from. Gibraltar, brought by the Maar/one Frigate, which quitted that place on the rth ult. are full of the most melancholy details "of that fatal disease which.- has been, produlive of such calamitous effeEle- 1,44 Tam act and her family arrived in this Vessel. The death of General BAR NETT we have already announced. He died on the laths -.His Aid-de-Camp, Lord PELHAM CL t rt. 'rote, is also one of the vi aims -of this deplorable malady., RACE tOet has shared the same me lancholy fate. , It is,now,positively proved that the disease is .the same as that which has committed such'direltil ravages at Malaga. Though The greatest preCauricsns were adopted to prevent the infeaion from entering the Garrison', it is suspeEted that itwas introduced by a Spanish, family, who had procured," edmiesion:•by bribing the Soldiers when ots their midnight duty. One unfortunate cause of*ibe peogress of the disorder is understood to have been a difference of opinion among the Medical Gentlemen at Gibraltar; as to the co, tore of the disease itself, as well as the mode of treating it. It appears that one only had dis covered its real nature, and the best manner of treating tho unhappy sufferers, as only one of his r atients had fallen a martyr to it. On its break ing our, Troops were stationed round the town, to preserve it from gall intercourse with those without, who might 'plssibly be infeeled.' The general murmurs of the. people, who viOlently re, monstrated at being thus left to their fate, coca sioned the removal of these troops, and hence a ge net4 mixture of the people increased the fury of the disease, A vessel bound to Malta took, it is said, two hundred persons on board, without Me - - dical Assistance, at the rate of twenty guineas each. It is apprehended that many of them carried the pestilence along with, them. Thirty others went onboard a vessel intending to sail for Oran. As they, too, were destitute of medical aid, they soon fell a prey to this dreadful calamity. No less than twenty-seven of these unhappy people died in a day or two,. • The other` thiee threw themselves into the sea when they saw the Maidstone, in hopes Of being taken to England. Their lives were saved, but they were' sent bark to Gibraltar. The daily masher of deaths on the I ilth were about forty; and a vast number were suffering under its alarming syMptoms. The military are *opposed to have suffered 'in . the same proportion as the general class pf people, though no returns have been mad e . Th e Wind changed on the t ith, and there was A strong indication of "approaching rain, the only event that promised a check to the progress of this horrible The fears of the inhabitants, even in this dreadful state, have been augmented by an inceease of the Spanish Force at St. Roque; though theleport was, that it was only a measure of precau tion on the - part of Spain to prevent the infeetion from approaching beyond its owe frontiers. . _ The last Letters from Barcelona and Valentia arc *item on the subjeet of this dreadful pestilence. — The reports from Malaga are less unfavourable the Mist accounts from Cadiz reach to the Ilth. The disneder was still very prevalent, and every day brought at least sixty viAims to the grave. Torpor seems to have succeeded to alarm, and the inhabi. tams arc suck into a gloomy resignation to their fate. Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, firs IVIAJILSTY left •Windsor in his travelling carriage any. toot, elcorted by a party of the Oxford Blocs to C.:fantod Bridge, where HIS MAJESTY changed horws, and :was escorted by a pany of the Light HOrie to Kew.

The PRINCES ELIZARETW'S apart. ments arc adorned and fitted up under the tasteful direelions of Her Royal, Highness. The Princess has chosen for her bedchamber the apartment be. low the Eastern Battlements next the centre of the terrace walk, which has long been admired for its romantic situation, from the circumstance of its hay. log a kind of parterre, or piece of garden ground, raised as a terrace on a level with the chamber.

In the Outer-harbour were discovered 15 Sail of the Line, five Frigates, one, Corvette, and two Brigs. We are informed, that our Inshore Squadron on the above station, is, in future, to be composed only of Frigates Anil smaller Vessels ; and that. Admiral Co a tstwikr,t,rs has been instru6ted to repair to Tor. bay on the commencement of blowing weather. We are happy to hear, that must of the accounts from the West Indies have greatly exaggerated the damage sustained by the late hurricane in that quarter. The accounts brought by the Cektaur Man of War, state, that the Islands have suffered very little, and that of the vessels lo►t, very few were British. _ _ _ Dispatches of so late a date as the 't gth and igth tilt. have been received at the Admiralty from Lord NiLSots, dated off Toulon. We are happy to learn, that the crews of the different Ships were in ',erica health. The bill of health, on the 14A, certified that not a single man was confined to his bed, by any sickness whatever. The Dispatches were brought to PlymOuth, on Saturday, by the Jobs Ball Cutter, Lieutenant CARTWRIGHT. By the Spiedivell, RAYNES, from Jamaica, at. , rived at Liverpoo!, we haVe received accounts from that Island of the 14 , 11 of September, and it is with great satisfadion we .can say, that no damage has been sustained in that quarter from the late hurri cane, the etfeds of which have been so severely felt in the Leeward Islands. We are happy to learn, that Government, with a becoming solicitude fur the health of our brave Soldiers, has sent out Dr. PINCARD, Dr, HEN. DERSON, and other Medical Officers, who had ex. perience in Egypt and the West Indies, to ascer. tain the nature of the malady which now prevails among the Inhabitants and Garrison at Gtbral. tar.

The French Troops distributed in Puglia, along the Coast of the Adriatic are, it is said, under good discipline, and behave very well to the inhabitants. That they are under gruid discipline may be readily believed; but their geed behimiour is a point very apocryphal. Yet granting the point, it is most probably a deceitful 'calm, covering a restless spitti of brutality anti plunder, which only waits for temptation and opportunity. The French, it seems, have been amusing them selves in the formation of new Altnanackt. What.. ever changes they may invent in those matters, they will certainly, in reference to BoNAPARTCS assuinp. tion of the Snpreme rower, take care that " that lerniciout hour shall stand oil al - crated tee the Cu. lender."

The homeward,b mnil Mediterranean Fleet passed by last night to the Eastward, consisting of twenty. six sail, under convoy of the Mad/tone and Mir. cissui Frigates ; but as the wind has blown strong at East and North East all night, it is expeded that several of them may put back to this Port : they sailed from Gibraltar the toth ult.;.and the 7 rowel ler, which arrived here yesterday, parted company on Friday the 2d inst. in the Channel. It appears, by the accounts received by the Traveller, that the malignant distemper which raged at Gibraltar was less virulent, and the number of deaths had decreased.

This morning, about four o'clock, the Dutch's' of Bedford Armed Defence Ship drove on shore a little to the Northward of Sundown Castle, where she knocked her rudder off ; and if the wind con tinues to blow as strong as it does at pieserit, it is nsuch to be feared she will he lost..

Extra& ofa Litter from Cur. WILLI AM CAR Nt, Of the Ship Providence, of Shields. to Mr. RouE T SCOtLAND, of South Shields, Owner of the said Vessel : " Yarmouth Rook, 08obee 23,, I 804. " am very happy is having the liberty, to inform you of my arrival here with your Ship Providence, after having escaped being vaptured by a French Privateer ; the particulars are as follow : On the 22d, inst. abotit noon, I krought up in 11 fathoms water, with the town of Winterton bearing W. S. W. arid about noon the' same .day a vessel - reaching in over the Now Warp Sand, came down towards us ; but we never had any suspicion of his being an Enemy until such time as he put down:hie helm, to board us on the starboard bow ; and in the I tiptoe of 0. 4 minute, or. less, his deck was full, of Men, armed with cutlasses. and blundetbusses, and the first salute they gave us, was—." Strike, .74 11 1 English --." but very fortunately for us, he did not put ; his helm down quick enough, and the tide being strong, and a strong breeze of wind from the. S. by E. he could not come close enough to get hold of the Pro.videnre forward, and the vessel be ing headto wind, drove a.stern ; and as soon a s h e came into the Prowidente's wake, he fired three rounds of small arms, hauled his wind, reached under our Ice, and put out a boat to board us., Be' that time we got our guns to bear upon him, -arid fired right into him ; he then hauled his heat along. side,again, and continued to fire small 'arms. We then got all otir guns over to leeward, gave him three cheers, and, tired ;six rounds tight, into him, the area of which, I suppose, he found pretty smartly. He then bore away before the . wind; to. - wards a Brig which was under sail to leeward of us, and, we then turned to windward ; but whother or not he captured her, I cannot say ". The wind then veered round to the S. W. and a sigo.tl from the Telegraph was made for an 4neiny i3 t the Coast # but no Vessel Came out, About' 6 P. M. a salvage boat was sent off.frUM the Tele graph to our assistance ; but they matte a demand of twenty guineas fur their services, 'which thought very unrcasonahle k and would not agree to it, and they went on shore again. About 9 P. M. the same night, the same Privateer hove in sight again, with the tack of his main-sail up, and the fore-sheet to windward, and drove up in our hause. As soon as he came within shot, we began to play upon him with two guns out forward ; after he found we were prepared for him there, he attempted to come Up, with an intention, as I supposed, to get into out, wake ; and as he went past, we fired four rounds into him again, which, I suppose, had taken the de. sired eifea, for he instantly made sail, went out al the gat way, and we saw his honour no more.. " The Privateer was about the size of a Graver end Boat, and had on board about fifty or +iv/ wen."
