CONTAGION.—We copy the following letter
from the Liverpool courier
_____

TO THE EDITOR.

" Sen—l find it maintained, in a letter signed by Dr. James
Johnson (London Courier of Ilth October) that the yellow fever
is a dismseof local origin, which never was imported into the
countries where it happened to rage; that it is not_ personally
contagious : that- the poison, or malaria, which produces the
disease, originates from the soil itself, being elicited by particular
seasons; that the fever so generated, if exported to other countries,
could not there be propagated, tbr want of its proper pabulum_;
that, at least, such as the opinion of many enlightened French.
and English physicians, ,an opinion satisfactorily confirmed by
the personal and.reiterated experience of Dr. James Johnsan.
To the above *assertion I beg leave to oppose the folloWing fact :
—ln the year 1800 a vessel, with a cargo of cotton, from-Phila-
delphia, was consigned to Iliessfs. Segalas and Co., an eminent
-mercantile house of Cadiz. The I3oard .of Health, having been
inforMed that several seamen belonging to that vessel had died
during the passage, put her under a strict quarantine: As the
house of Segalas enjoyed a great credit, and the special pro-
tecti4l of Don U.rquijo, then Secretary of State, and, as such,
Superintendent of the Board of Health, they obtaired from that
Al Mister permission that the vessel should be relened from the
quarantine. She was, of.course, admitted into Ca:az, the crew
landed, the cargo unloaded. The consequence was,.that a few
days after, the yellow fever broke cut, for the first time, in the
town. Segulas, the greater part of. his .family, and all his
clerks, were the first victims. The destruction of human life
the yellow fever occasioned, then and since, at Cadiz, is too
well known. It is questioned whetheithe fatal disease has been
entirely extirpated to this day.
