" Gibraltar, 2d May, 1826.
" I am just returned from a most danrrous, disagreeable, and
harassing mission to Africa, to accomplish which I have been ab-
a.:at about a month. The public papers, whilst I was in England,
spoke, as you may recollect, of the miserable state of the pcople on
tillt.Barbary coast from the fever, end that they were dying in the
sheets. The great intercourse between Gibraltar end the Bar-
bary States made it necessary that the nature of the disease
should be known, in order to guard against its importation inrc
ti;itt garrison. Accordingly I was the person fixed upon for this
n.ssion, and I received orders to this effect Ilia Excellency
