FEVER AT NEW-YORK.
Continued Report.
August 25th, 3 deaths, 11 new cases.
August 26th, 8 do. 17 do.
g, Ihe Committee of Health have given
permission for the publication of the names and
late places of abode, of the victims to the fever.
By this it appears, that there have died thereof,
from the 29 July to the 26 August, inclusive,
One Hundred and Fifteen Perlons—of which iz
sickened in Greenwich-street, 9 in Front, 7 in
Water, 6 in Wall, 3 in Washington, 3 in Cher
ry. 3 in Bedlow, and 3 in Moore-Street ;—,the
residue in 44 other Greets. Reliance may be
placed on the reports of the Board of Health,
which is composed of the Mayor, Recorder,
the Aldermen, resident Physician and Commif
fioncr of the Health-Office ;—they meet daily
tq receive reports and provide for the diseased.
Many of the above died at Bellevue ; where
every medical aid is afforded. A tub-Commit
tee of the Board is continually in feflion for
the purpose of affixing such citizens as with to
remove, with small furns to pay their passages
to the country, or relieve those whom want of
employment has left in indigence. Temporary
buildings are also erecting on the commons for
the accommodation of the citizens, in case an
increase of the disorder should render a more
general removal necessary, when soup h'oufcs
will also be prepared for the poor.

Latest News.
From LONDON.
Papers to the 16th July, have been re
ceived at New-York, by the Oneida Chief.
The following are the only extracts we have
fan from them.
Count Haugwitz, the Prussian Min
ister for Foreign Affairs, is dismissed &
in disgrace. His disgrace is attributed
to some difpatebes from England,which
he is said to have concealed from the
King till they could no longer produce
their intended effed. The Kingof Pruf
lia was, it is said, requeued, in those
dispatches, to occupy the Electorate
of Hanover before the arrival of the
French, and to indemnify himfef by ap
propriating the revenues of that coun
try to his own use.
Letters from Petei fbtirgh mention,
that his Imperial Majesty had received
the news of the occupation of the E
le&orate of Hapover by the Bench,
which is said to have highly displeased
him. The Ruffian fleets in the Baltic
are ordered to be reinforced, and, if
the French do not soon quit the
mouths of the rivers Elbe and Wefer, it
is thought more than probable that a
considerable Ruffian fleet, with troops
on board, would soon make its appear
ance at Iravemond, near Lubeck.

Q The following remarks of the Editor of
the Afis will excite and reward the cu
riyi) 0/ tie Public.
National lnte!ltynccf VS. Independent Chronicle.
It is no part of our dehgn to produce
a schism among the frierds of the ad
minidrution, or to expose the different
thades of opinion, in the difeuffion of
inferior topics, which may chance to
prevail among the advocates of a com
mon cause.
When it becomes neceffary,however,
in support of sentiments, adopted with
deliberation, and avowed with candor,
tb adduce authorities for which we feel
a deference, and which are entitled to
iefpe&, we should do ourfelvcs injustice
in keeping them hack,becaufe they are
at variance with others, who have cho
sen to avow a sarcastic contempt for
these opinions.
In our remarks on the French Man
ifefto, we did express an apprehension,
tba "we should hand almost alone a
mong the advocates of the republican
cause. We didnot mean, by thi§, that
there might not be many intelligent &
refpedable Republicans, who would
think with us on this fubjed ; —but we
were aware, that, from a mistaken po
licy, or a cowardly cauticn, there were
few, if any, who would deem it expe
dient to utter such opinions. So far
as relates tp this portion of the conti
nenttour apprehenfionshaye been more
than confirmed. Not a single Repub
lican paper in Ne^-England has given
a fandion to our remarks on the char
after of the First Consul, the measures,
of the French government, or the.cau
fes of the war." They have either pre
fervedafullen and frowning filepce, or
have openly denounced our opinions,
and reproached us as apostates.
<^TheINDEPENDENT ^^,”
in terms of severe and cutting irony, has
given us over to be buffeted by every
full-blooded Jacobin in the country.
Asa proof of the estimation in which
we are held, by this luminary "of the ,
firft magnitude" in New-England, we
extras the following paragraph from
the Chronicle ofthe zad inst.
« Wecannot help congratulating the
Editor of the JEgis, on the good com-
*OFrom personal information of
the Editor of "The Charleston Courier,"
we are enabled to contradid the rash
and filly aliertion that this very respec
table paper is edited by an Englishman.
The real and avowed editor Mr. Lor.
Ing Andrews is a native of New-
England, where he has resided till the
last four or five years—he edited and
printed the Stockbridge(Maffachufetts)
“ Weftern Star," and “Albany Centinel,
for many years. The Editorial depart
ment of these papers while under his
care, are evincive of his indufhy and
powers of mind. The “CFarleftonCouri
er" is a new establishment, and we are
happy to hear is handsomely supported,
[Oracle.
The fame observation bar induced ut to

the enemies of Republicanism in this coun-
The fa& is, that the French revolu
tion, in its early stages, kindled among
our citizens the liveliest enthusiasm.—
There was a sublimity in the fpe&acle
of a great nation, breaking the chains
which had been imposed upon her for
ages, that drew forth the admiration of
every genuine friend to liberty. Nor
was it furprizing that a people, who
had recently established their own li
berties, by the assistance of France,
should hail, with transports of joy, the
" The manly, judicious and candid
remarks upon the correspondence be
tween the English and French govern
ments, copied into yesterday's Courier,
from the ^Egis, reflect great credit upon
that paper.—Firft,becaufe they display
a difeerning mind, and a just abhor
rence of the most abominable tyranny
that ever yet overpowered a great na
tion, or affiided an abused world ; but
chiefly because it has been considered as
an article in the Anti-Federal, or at
least the Democratic creed, to insult
England with every inveftive, and to
make her appear always in the wrong;
whether she be so or not. It cannot
but be extremely fatisfadory to every
man of reflection and candor, to per
ceive that there is, at least, one of the
Democratic papers,which will not abet
the enormities of Bonaparte, merely
out of aversion to Great-Britain. It is
worth while to compare those ftri&ures
of the National JEgis,with the infuriat
ed rancor poured out in pails full, in
certain other papers."
But if we are unfortunately depriv
ed @1 the " good company" of the Chro
nicle Printers, this bereavement is, in
sane smallf mall degree, made up to us, by a
coincidence of sentiment with the Edi
tor of a paper, whose character has
commanded rtfpea, even from those
who have been opposed to his political
opinions. If there is any Gazette a
mong us which wears an official com
plexion, and which, from its peculiar
fituatibn, is entitled to pre eminent cre
dit, ft will certainly be acknowledged
that the National Intelligencer has a
claim to this dillindtion. Although it
is not to be considered, (as it has been
represented by the federal papers) as
the mere mouth piece of the administra
tion, and as speaking, on every occa
sion, the precise language of the gov
ernment, yet it may be fairly inferred,
that on the leading topics of political
difeuffion, it is never decidedly and
pointedly opposed. We had never the
most diftant,int of the ground which
would be taken by the Intelligencer, in
the difeuffion of this topic. We did
not, therefore, borrow our impressions
from this paper, nor are we indebted to
any individual, whether in or out of
the government,for the courfc we have
thought proper to pursue. We have
declared ourfelvcs “ independent and
unbiaffed in our opinions." We do not
deny, however, that we derive much
fatisfadion,from finding these opinions
supported by such authority, as affords
us the strongest reason to believe, they
are not at variance with the administra
tion, and are fandioned by the highest
tribunal in our country.
We leave it to the public to deter
mine, who has continued “ ftedfaft &
immoveable," and who had apostatized
from the republican faith ! !

DIED
In England, Rev. H. R. Courtney, Lord
Bilhop of Exeter.—Admiral Sir Archibald
Dickson.—Mrs. Pope, of Drury lane Theatre.
She had a fit of apoplexy, while playing for
Mr. Cooper's benefit, and soon after died at an
ear ly age.—Mr. Evans, late a celebrated book
seller—Mr. E. requested in his will, that he
might be buried without a coffin or (hroud, arid
that the whole cf his funeral expense should not
exceed forty (hillings.— He left the bulk of his
fortune to an acquaintance, though he had a son.
At Weftford, (N. Y.) Mr. Wiliam Rich
ards, aged 42.— He went to bed in perfcd
health. About midnight he waked his wife
and informed her he was dying, and immedi

d,wn of liberty in that country. When
too it is reccolleded, that the revolu
tion for several years proceeded with
out reproach,and developed a fucceflion
of a&s, only equalled by the brilliant
talents of those who achieved them, it
is pronouncing an eulogidm upon the
hearts of our countrymen, to fay, that
they rejoiced in all the triumphs, and
fympathifed in all the disasters, of the
republic. Such feelings demdaftrated
their ardent and sincere devotion to li
berty, and that they cherished them,not
only on account of the happiness it pro
moted among themselves, but from the
good which it was calculated to bestow
on others.
Unfortunately, however, the feene
changed. The people of France were
not permitted to manage their concerns
in their own way. The tyrants of Eu
rope interposed ; armed forces threaten
ed their subjugation, and intrigue and
corruption filled the interior. Though
the valor of the French soldiery van
quished all external Europe, the feeds
of diffention were sown within. The
arm of citizen was soon raised against
citizen, and the most cruel outrages on
humanity ensued. These chilled the
enthusiasm of our feelings in favor of
the revolution. Still we hesitated to a
bandon the cause of those who, it was
hoped, would return to those just, hu
mane, and magnanimous sentiments,
which had so conspicuously shone n their
early condud. Estimating asof nought
value the blessings of liberty, we enter
tained a liberal and honorable indul
gence for the failings of those engaged
in asserting it, for a nation containing
twenty-five millions of fouls. As yet,
however the spark might be obfeured,
it was not extinguished, and we hoped
that events would prove it inextinguish
able.
With those events, the favor of America
has perished. Our attachment to France
was not a blind devotion to a particular
country, but to the sacred cause of lib
erty. Had that cause been averted with
equal glory in Great-Britain or Tur
key, equally great would have been our
enthusiasm. No sooner, therefore, did
the degeneracy of the French nation
abandon their great cause, than we
withdrew our admiration and affedion,
and all ground of sympathy was re
moved. We continued to wiffi the wel
fare of the nation, as we wish that of
every other nation ; but we viewed her
in the fame light with all the nations
that surrounded her.
And with regard to him who has seized
the rod of empire, however dazzled with
the glory of his military fame, we contem
plate him in his true character —that of a
military usurper, and the subverter of the
liberties of his country.

Messrs. Gilbert y Dean,

Supplement, you perhaps will puklijk it where

as to "excite a smile, it may few some of your

But a dark cloud soon overshadowed
our hopes.—We saw a military man, in
violation of the laws of his country,
those laws which he had sworn to sup
port, draw his sword upon all legiti
mate authority, disperse by the bay
onet the representatives of the people,
and didate a system of government
which deprived the people of all their
rights.
With the eftablifoment of this system,
♦with the empire of this man, fell the liber
ties of his country. 81l the measures that
havefince followed, have been so many fea
tures of a gloom,fftem of military ufarpa
tion.
Those who feel gratitude ought to express it.
But how inadequate is language, to give life to
the sentiments of the heart. While we are
humble under a sense of the calamity which
we sustain, we must rejoice, that the favoured
servant of heaven is translated from toil to
glory, and that he is distinguished among those

At Cambridge, on Saturday faft, the Rev
DAVID TAPPAN, D. D Hollis Profeffor of
Divinity in Harvard College, aged 51. Pre
vious to their interment, his remains were car
ried to the meeting-house, preceded by the flu
dents and followed by a dignified and refpeda
ble procefiioo, where after prayer by the Rev.
Dr. Lathrop, a sermon was delivered by the
Rev. Abiel Holmes, from A&s xi. 24,'For be
w.%r a good man." We have not received any
account of the societies of which the deccafed
was a Member ; nor of his publications ; but
would be grateful to any coircfpondent who
would make the communication.
The hiftoriari, who collets brilliant exam
ples of virtue, for the foftrUdion of mankind,
will dwell with delight on the character of Dr.
Tappan. He possessed, in an uncommon de
gree, the various qualifications which adorn the
gentleman, the scholar and the Chrifti,n. His
manners flowed from a heart, replete with be
nevolence, and were calculated to Conciliate the
affection and esteem of men of all ranks, and of
Christians of every denomination.
He held a dißinguighed rank among the lite
rati of our country. His studies were chiefly
directed to those branches, which were calcu
lated to render him ufeful in his office, at the
University, and eminent as a minister of the
Holy Religion. And though exalted attain
ments in these studies, excite not that admira
tion, which their intrinsic excellence deserves ;
though none but the wife and good can duly
estimate that philosophy, which inspires
Tbe better fortitude
" Os patience and heroic martyrdom,"
'ft, these arc most necessary, to render indivi
duals happy, and States prosperous.
The glory of Dr. Tappan's character shone
with unequalled refplcndence in piety to God,
and benevolence to man. He pofßiTcd an ex
quisite sense of right and wrong, of decorum of
charader, and of chastity in condud. Tho'
firmly attached to those sentiments, which he
considered the do&rines of Scripture, his charity
embraced the sincere of every denomination.
No ambition is so pure, as that which ani
mates men to aspire to excel in deeds of benev
olence. Os this spirit Dr. Tappan was possessed.
He was qualified in an eminent degree, to make
men wife and good. In public, he was highly
acceptable and fuccefsful. His eloquence flow
ed from a heart deeply impressed with the truth
of that religion which he preached. Who ever
heard him describe the charms of religion,with
out feeling, that his good resolutions had gained
some accession of strength ? Who ever heard
him dwell on the "terrors of the law," without
confeffing that the anger of heaven against the
final, impenitent would be just ?
Deeply is this loss felt by. our University.
Seeing that her sons have loft a father, her pat
rons an associate : her fcftival is changed into
mourning, and her venerable feats arc eloathed
with the habilments of the grave.
Cut down in the midst of his days and ufe
fulnefs, his death, though happy for himfelf, is
too soon for his country.. How he loved her
glory, and lamented her wrongs; how he en
deavoured to assuage the violence of party, and
to vindicate the manners and principles of the
pure age of our republic, are in the memory
of all who observed him revolving, in his ex
alted sphere.
