the people with-so much willingness, t lint this fortress 'will
• not be revisited by malignant disease, provided these precau-
tions are-continued; not-only during the winter,
,but also the
spring eTt.ing summer; and as the.se precautions, far
from e::eiting alarm, ought to remove every disquietude from
tie minds of the inbabitant;3, and encourage the foreign
countries With whom we are in cominetci,:l relation, to
main-
tain with 'confidence their usual intercourse with the garrison.
The Lieutrnant7Q6vernor_ hastens to apprise the inhabitants,
that he will, is the ,spring, make various . arrangements,
tending, as bc. conceives, to obviate the bad consequences
which generally result Isom a. crowded po;ulation in a con-
fined situation."':

The article iu the Augsburgh Gazette, relative
to King JoAciiim, is, it is reported, with a few
additions; but the precis of a Pamphlet published
at Naples; and which has been circulated in this
country. The defection, of ,Toactiim,, it asserts,
did nc►t originate in the Order. of the Day that
transferred to Prince EUGENE the command, but
in a proposition of NAroLEoti's,i for' JOACIIIM to
resign the throne of Naples, that Naples
,n►ight
be incorporated with the Franco-Italian Provincial
System, and for Jolcutra to receive in exchange
for his kingdom the command of the French ar-:
mies. NAPOLEON even signed a Decree for the
execution of this measure, but Vt filch was not
promulgated, in consequence of JOACHIM'S threat
of resistance, at. a time when NApoLvoN had"rea-
sons to wish for hismilitaryservices.
