Extracts from New York Papers to the 22d last,
are given in our preceding columns. The yellow
fever still existed in that city, but the cases re-
ported were not numerous, and were confined to
Rector-street and its vicinity, the district where the
infection first appeared. The Board of Health
held daily sittings in New York, Sundays not
excepted, and exercised the strictest vigilance of
prevent the spreading of the fever into other qua►ters.
Some doubts were expressed at one of the meetings
of the Hoard, whether the physicians scrupulously
fulfilled their duty in reporting all the cases of
fever that came under their cognizance, to which
course it was insinuated they might be prompted by
the anxiety of many families to prevent their situa-
tion bring publicly known; but thio.charge, which,
if true, would tend to keep the inhabitants in ig-
norance of the real extent of their danger, was by 'to
means substantiated. The New York Papers bring
intelligence from South America to the end of July,
which states, that General MORALES had embarked
with his troops to join the Royalists at Porto Covello.
He had been chased by the Colombian squadron,
which had touched at Curacoa, but the ap-
pearance of a Spanish frigate caused the latter
to give up the chase, and shape a different coorse.
It must have been a feeble force that was frighten-
ed by a single frigate. MORALES, thus left to pur-
sue the object of his eppedition, has no doubt en-
tered Porto Civello. the Patriot squadron by which
that port was blockaded having found it necessary
to retire, in order to escape the contagion which
swept sway great numbers of the garrison and the
inhabitants.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Doke of
You held a levee... Commander-in-Chief, at his
office in the Horse Guards.
Yesterday a messenger arrived at the Foreign
Office in Downing-street from the Marquis of
LONDONDZILRY at Vieuna.
Mr. CANNING has had one of the rooms in the
Foreign Office fitted up as a bed-room, so that
when the House sits late, the Right Honourable
Gentleman will be able to retire esilier to rest, and
with less fatigue than in going so far as Gloucester
Lodge.

Acosunts have been received from Lisbon, through
France to the sth instant, four days later than those
brought by the last packet. From them it appears
that the expedition for Bahia had left the Tagus,
consisting of about 4,000 men ; and •mother was
also fitting out, intended to he somewhat larger than
the last.

The porter of the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY
died on Saturday with grief for his late master.
Previous to the melancholy event he was a very
healthy and strong man.
The ship Buda, Captain SCORESBY, jun. ar-
rived here on Thursday, from Greenland, with 195
tuna blubber, the produce of nine whales. During
the Intervale, of the fishery, Captain SCORESBY
employed himself in making observations on the
geography and natural history of the long-lost east-
ern coast of Greenland, winch was within sight for
three months. The result, we understand, is •
survey of the eastern coast of that almost unknown
country, from let. 75. N. to 69. comprising an ex-
tent of coast, reckoning its numerous isdentations,
of about 800 aides. Captain SCORESBY discovered
sonic extensive inlets, from the number of which lie
is induced to .consider the whole country a large
assemblage of islands. He braided on venous parts
of the coast, and on each visit to the shore dis-
covered recent traces of inhabitants, and obtained
fragments of their implements. It is important to
geography, to know that the form of this land sur-
veyed by Captain Scousitm is extremely unlike
what it .re represented ill our best charts, and that
the error iu longitude, in most cases, was not less
than 16 degrees. We understand that he has made
large collection, of plants and minerals, particu-
larly of geological specimens. The Boffin left the
coast of Greenland on the St7th of August, soon
after encountering a tremendous storm, in which
the Dundee of London was dismasted.--(Lirerpod
