Intelligence has reached this place that an Eng-
lish fleet of nine sail of the line, with frigates and
transport;, are ..t anchor in the mouth of St. John's
River, and that their object is the conquest of Flo-
' rids. The Spaniards are extremely alarmed, and
all is bustle and confusion.---Should this account be
correct, and there is every reason to believe it is, the
Fioridas will probably soon exchange masters. The
mouth of St. John's River is ten leagues and a half
from St. Augustine, which will probably be the first
object of attack.
A letter from a gentleman in Savannah (Georgia),
to his friend in this city, dated the 15th inst. states,
that the Negroes had shewn evident signs of an in-
tearredion, and had begun poisoning, a number of
the white inhabitants. Thirteen of them had been
committed to Waynesborough jail; the greater part
of them were under sentence of death : they had al.
ready burned one alive, hanged two, besides a num-
ber of others who received punishment according to
their deserts. The number of robberies and burgla-
ries were daily increasing.--( BM& Pup.)

" The Board of Health are happy to en.igratulate their fel
low citizens, on the present favourable state of the health of
this city.
" The dmitcht, which has hitherto been so long and severe,
is at length mittited by temperate showers. A succession of
rarity weather may removably be expected The consequent
change, from an extreme dry, to a humid atmosphere, may
prove very unfavourable, unless every means be used to venti-
late and purify cellars in the lower pens of the city. The
'petard, therefore, recommend the utmost attention to this porters' subject, and confidently hope, that • vigorous perse-
verance, fur a few weeks Luger, in the precautionary mea-
sures hitherto pursued, will, under the smiles of Providence,
avert every cause of danger.
" By order of the Board.

ously occurred, there were, as we are informed, not
less than twelve nea rev: en Friday six persons, we
understand, had been removed to the hospital. (Au-
