been inCeeted, nor Lampedusa. Fort Manuel was
cif steel out es a place to put those hi who had not
the disease, 'hut used .I)..en in infected houses, or
those who had survived in infected families. About
300 persons have died there, as they were at
lest obliged to send all infected persons to that
fort; which destroyed those who were sent in the.
first instance. Those infected in town, are allow.

saw seven people put into the dead-cart one
morning at Floriano, three from one house. In
fact, whole families have been swept away. The
two last days reports were tolerably favourable,
and we begin to hope the hot weather will put a
stop to it, though yesterday's was not very past,
as there were only six infected in town, but all ha
fresh houses where it had not before appeared,:
A great many die without LON; personally report-
ed. A priest, in Strada Real, said Mimaa on Satur-
day, and died at 12 o'clock on Sunday. The town
is divided into eight districts, which are separated
from each other by barriers.. A market is es-
tablished in each, and no .communiention held
between them except by permits from the
Deputies, of Which there are three to each
district, who visit all the houses daily, and
if any body is ill send for a Doctor. If the
symptonis arts those of the plague a hearer is
brought; and the infected person carried alto
Fort Manuel, the house shut up, and a 'sentry
placed at the door. The Deputies are gentlemen
volunteers; Mr. Forest it woe and Mr. Noble an,
other ; the latter was speaking to one of his sen-
tries on Sunday, and the man died in three mi.
nuts after in the guard-room. A large pollee is
established pro teempore, who do all the duty with
regard to the plague ; hut the men employed in
tak in- infected people a‘vay and burying the deal davea, who, if they survive, are paid four dol.
leers a-day, and get their fres.dom hcsidea ; 25 of
them ale dead, and the rest refused yesterday to
act any longer...
" They now have Greeks, volunteer', to do this
ditty.' The Awes died for want of precaution, as
they would not, wear the dresses protiided for
them. Shops (all but a few which are Ileeased)
are shut up ; Ito visiting, so that we are all in a

migated ; troops confined to the forts and bar-
racks ; all men going on geard rub their bodies

of giving .at more favourable account of the plague,

made up this afternoon, and you will see, by the
