The above mentioned letter is dated Mexico, May 21; it

A Spanish brigantine, El Sobirawo, has arrived at Malaga

that the crews of all the vessels in the po►►t had been taken to

MADRID, Auourr 18.

The accounts from the h;zaretto of Bisections of the Ildt,
states the number of patients there to be sire; the number
of deaths has been twelve in all, viz. eight up to the 9th;
i$W4l in the night of the 9th ; and two is the night of the
10th. The contagion is entirely confined to the lazaretto ;
all the persons hitherto attacked were from the Port. All
communication between the Old Port and the New Mole is
strictly intercepted. The New Mole is quite free, there hav-
ing bees no vessels there when the precautions were adopted;
the city is quite free front contagion, as well as the HAMM-
note and ilia hitspitals.—(Madrid Papers, A signs! 20.)
