GIBRALTAR, Nov. s.

The Fever has now gone completely through the
toivn, there not being a single house whose inhabl.
tants have escaped the contagion ; and the deaths in
Fever have now decreased in consequence to about
four or five daily. At the S roth part of the Rock it
still continues to rage amongst the Troops; and it is
the general opinion of the Faculty, that the disease
will not be extirpated till every person has been at.
ticked with ir. It it now clearly ascertained tube
the malignant pestilential Fevers such as has pre.
Vailed in the West Indict since. 1793 ; and it is a
remarkable fad, that the only persons who espy;
the contagion are such as have had the: Fever in the
West Indies, or the'Fever at Philadelphia or IVlalaga.
Jr does not appear that any instance has occurred of
any person here having received the infeEliOn a se.
COO time.. More than one-third of the inliphitanit
have been carded otr by it ; and all newly-arrived
people are infallibly attacked with it, and it gene.
rally proves fatal to them. Several ramiliee who
had escaped the disease at the South, /.where they
were encamped, have been univeleally "ttacked on
their moving into town. The principal deaths,
within these few days, are, Major Andrews, a Bar.
rack-Master-Getteral, and his wife; Mr. Dent, of
the Naval Hospital ; Dr. and Mre.:Geddes ; Dr.
Galbraith, loth Regiment; Mrs. Pownall, wire of
