BRIGHTON. Nov. 13.

But little has occurred here during the last few
days, either to interest or emcee. The weather, since
Friday last. has been so excessively damp and unplea-
sant, th.tt scarcely a fashionable pedestrian has been
visible on the Sterne. In fad, the greater part of
our Most distinguished vi.itants have either left, or
are preparing to leave the town, and the melancholy
traces of desertion now, in all parts, meet the eve and
dep.ess the spirits of those that at present here re-
main. Many tumours are afloat, of a contradiflo. y
nature, regarding the removal of the Prince from
this place for the winter season. Many are of opi-
nion, that His Royal Highness will takehisChristmas
dinner at the Paviiion ; others pretend to be aware
of a something of importance whkh has recently
• rcurred, whkh they affirm will prevent i lis Royal
I lighnew from honouring this town with his pre-
.ence before the ensuing Spring at least; but which
are right time onb: cin exemplify. Shuuld the for-
mer rumour be correa, this place will, doubtlessly,
be a scene of comparative gaiety in the gloom of
winter ; but should the letter be tree, General Dul-
ness, uptil relieved by CI primal ilapeaation, at the
opening of the Spring, will. indeed, take the corn.
max..l of the distri,t.
. The sportsmen, idnernbee not very nomernes,
who yesterday atterkled the Prince's hariers from

fiuring the chace. The diversion was better than,

On Tuesday, 30th 04ober, a s:Jip's boat. mark-

On Friday last, two of the Dundee vessels ar-
rived from St. Petersburgh, and brought the unwel-
come news of the loss of the Alhioa of Dundee. She
sailed from Cronstadt, on the 14th of last month, with
a number of British vessels, and about one or two
o'clock seat morning, she unfortunately struck
upon a riJge of rocks, about 40 or 30 miles from
-4.'mastadt. called Seiskaar reef, and soon filled
with water up to the decks. The Captain and crew
were obliged to take to their boats to preserve their
bees. They lay under the lee of the vessel all night.

PESTILENTIAL DISEASE IN SPAIN.
We have endeavoured to obtain full and cone&
information of the state and progress of the fever
in the various infeCted parts of the kingdom of
Spain. Our accounts from Gibraltar, reepeCling
the state of the malignant disorder in that fortress,
are very contradOory. Letters are sai.l to have
been received from thence to the 17th ult. inclusive ;
but we cannot vouch for any beyond the 15th,
which, we are sorry to say. give a melancholy and
distressful pi Sure of the place at that period. One
of these letters mentions, that three hundred per-
sons had died in the course of the three preceding
days. A letter, by the way of Lisbon, states, that
from the I 4th to the 10th, the number of deaths
amounted on an average to between 70 and 80 a-
day. In contradiCtion, however, to these accounts,
we have seen other letters from Gibraltar, rating
the deaths at between 20 and 30 a-day, at the periods
above-mentioned.
It is not to be wondered at that such a va iance
in the accounts should prevail, when it is considered
that the writers of them are almost entirely confined
to their houses, and depend in a great measure upon
rumour for the information which they transmit to
their friends. The inhabitants are not prevented by
the regulations of the place from leaving their
houses, but are restrained through fear : for if any
person is met in the street by the soldiery, he is ge-
nerally compelled ley them to assist in the removal
of the sick, or the burial of the dead. This circum-
stance deters most people from stirring abroad, so
that the place appears in a manner deserted. No.
body is allowed to hold any intercourse with the
ships in the Bay.
Of the families that have suffered most from the
penitence, no one deserves more commiseration
than that of Messrs. Benhusan. 'There were four
brothers of that name, who all had families, amount-
ing in the whole to twenty persons. Former ac-
counts had stated the death of several of them ; but
those of Wednesday furnish the melancholy wwsthat
the whole had fallen viairns except one little boy
(the son of one of the brothers), who, with seventy-
nine other orphans, was maintained by subscription
raised among the inhabitants. Another brother of
the same name, who resides in London, after re-
ceiving his letters on Wednesday from Gibraltar,wcnt
upon 'Change to read them, when, casting his eye
over the distreuing account we have stated, he fell
senseless on the ground, and remained insensible for
same time.
As there is no reason to doubt that the account
which appeared in this Paper a few days ago, was
genuine, it is hoped that the alteration which
took place in the weather at Gibraltar, about the 15th,
had produced a considerable change in the fever
and that we shall find, that on the I eth, the date of
the General's letter, the disorder had considerably
abated.
Our accounts from'Carthagena reach down to the
20th ult. and confirm the statement we gave on
Tuesday. that about the middle of the month up-
wards of one hundred persons were daily carried off;
and that, from the 14th to the date of the letter, not
fewer than eight hundred persons had shared the
same fate.
Letters from Valentia and Alicant, of the 19th
ult mention, that those places still continued free
from the pestilence, which was attributed to the
precautions adopted to prevent the introdos.lion of
strangers.
At Cadiz the fever continued its ravages, and car-
ried off from s:rty to seventy persons every day.
Vessels la •en with wheat were permitted to enter
the harbour; but such as were laden with flour were
not admitted.
We have been favoured with the following part:-
cular and interesting account of the m irtality that
has taken place in Malaga from the first appearance
of the plague, to the 9th of Oslober, when it may
be said to have completely subsided. The disorder
appeared about the 9th of August, so that the dread.-
ful destrullien annexed, occurred in the short space
of two months.—The following is extrthed from
the official return sent from hlalaga to the Court of
Madrid :-

date of our latest accounts from Malap is
the 11th nit. when several families had ventured to
return into the town. The spirits of the people were,
however, greatly depressed. Tie police h.isi again
begun to JO ; and the plunderers, who had been
guilty of unheard-of cruelties and depredations. bad,
for the most part, absconded. The port was expect-
ed to be ope.red f fir trade in the c• u: se of 10 or 12
days, when shipments would begin to take place.

JERSE F. Nov. 10.

- On Saturday last arrived at St. Hillisrd's, after
being a month on board ship, and experiencing a
series of storrr.t, 7 companies of the '2d battalion of

prefennons were entertained tor the safety of the
