• Om 16.—The indisposition of the King is re-
moved. llis Majesty is in perfect health.
Private advices from Barcelona, of the 3d inst.
continue to give a most deplorihle picture of that
ton n, and of Barcelonetta.. On the Ist and 2d
from 300 to 350 died each day. The rich perish
without assistance, for no money can induce any
person to attend on them.

Another letter, of the same date, states, how
ever, that the Franciscans and the Capuchins go
about intrepidly, to aid the sick ; but 23 of the
fortnei• and 19 of the latter, with five physicians,
have fallen victims to their exertions.
The people of Barcelona in great numbers fre-
quent the Churches, which, it is supposed, must
be closed, for the -large congregations in them
contribute to the propagation of the disorder.
The following is• the bulletin of the state of
health in Barcelona from the 29th of September
to the sth instant :

Deaths. Cured. Remain.

A. letter from Saragossa of the 29th September
says, We dread every moment the contagion will
manifest itself in our unfortunate town, for it is
iu the immediate vicinity. }lalf the population
have kit. the town, and many
.are quitting
it daily. Tortosa, Mequinenza, and Fraga are
almost depopulated : two thousand have died in
the first of these three towns.
In the night of the 2d of this month five na-
tional guards of the Department of the Upper
Garrone stopped eleven inhabitants of the valley
of Aran in Spain, who were endeavouring to get
into France through bye-roads, under the guid-
ance of two Fr,nchrnen whom they had bribed.
The two guides were lodged in a place of con-
finement, and the Aranais were sent back across
the frontiers. The Prefect of the department,
has distributed gratuities to the five national
guards.
We learn from 'Marseilles that a sailor was
removed from Pomegue to the lazaretto. His
disorder exhibited symptoms of the yellow fever:
the two boys belonging to the same ship as the
sailor are quite recovered. The captain and
crew of the Danish ship which was shipwrecked
are very healthy ; and the Lieutenant, of whom
some apprehensions were entertained, is now
doing well. All the other persons- in the laza- -
repo are in good health.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 11.- Tile Journal called
Ami tlu Jioi contains an.article on thenegociations
between England and France on the affairs of
'Turkey. There are in it. statements very bold
and evidently incorrect ; but: we think the fol-
lowing passages worthy of attention, although
thvy may not deserve implicit credit :
"England has proposed,- it says, tq preserve untouched- the

possessions of Turkey in Europe, with the exception of the two
principalities of Walachia and Moldavia, which are to be ceded
to Russia, and of some districts of Croatiaand•Bosnia, of which
Austria is to obtain possession. On the other hand RUssia is to
cede a part of the kingdom of Poland, to serve as an indemnity
to the princes who are to alienate a part of their possessions.
England, it is added, contented with the numerous and impor-
tant advantages which are secured to her by the late treaties, has
no other object than to maintain -in Europe a real and not a
nominal equilibrium between the preponderating powers.
" This Mernoire, which was transmittal by the Duke of
-Wellington, is-, it is said, a master-piece of justice and policy,
and confers the greatest honour on him who drew it up.
—England' maintain that no government has the right to
persecute the immense majority of its subjects, because they
profess a religion different from its own. She then pro-
claims those eternal 'truths- engravers on the heart of man by
the law of the gospel as well as by that of nature, that
every government is bound to protect the. persons and pro-
perties of its subjects. Setting out with these principles, she
concludes that the two powers, if they pulled together, :might
easily, not only induce, but even compel the Grand Seignar to
consent to the cessions mentioned above, and to ensure to the
'Greeks full and entire protection for their religion, laws, and pro-
perties. The Divan, it is supposed, would be more tractable
on this head, as it cannot but perceive the danger which
threatens the European part of its empire. As to the objec.
Lion which will doubtless be made that the Sultan, depending on
the Mufti and the Memos, a fanatical body, and on a sanguinary
and undisciplined soldiery, cannot offer solid guarantees for the
fulfilment of the stipulations of the treaty, the atzarotaE re-
plies that, in the extremity to which the Porte is reduced, all
the exacted stipulations might be easily obtained ; and conse-
quently, all the necessary guarantees .4 ainst the violation of
them, on whatever side it might occur ; England and France
expressly reserving to themselves the right of inflicting ven.
geance on the violater, in case of impunity or negligence in the
Turkish Governinent.

" Henceforward, according to the author of the MEMOHLE,
we calculate that none of those hortois which make humanity
shudder, and of which Greece has been the-theatre for nearly
four centuries, will be renewed, because the favourites of the
Seraglio will excite no more massacres or spOliations, nor will
the Pachas, the militia, or the popUlace, dare to commit the
outrages with which they have lately been familiar, when they
shall be et nvinced that no infitience or intrigue will, be able to
withdraw them from a punishment justly merited.
" The Greeks will then enjoy a happiness unknown to their
ancestors in:lie:haps ten centuries; for it is not only since the.

PARIS, OL r. 15.—The Korn is slightly in

Utters from Perpignan, dated the 6thinst.,
state, that the advices received .there from Bar-
celona, since the 29th ult., are of a most grievous
character. That ill-fated town is a prej, to the
most appalling scourges of contagion and famine..
The children, whose mothers have fallen victims
to the deadly contagion, are suckled by goats.
Letters from thence of the 3d inst. say, that the
mortality increases, and that there die daily from
150 to 200 persons. It was contemplated to
'evacuate the town, and encamp in' the vicinity ;
but this last resource was found impracticable.
Despair and stupefaction increase the evil. The
physicians do not agree in opinion respecting the
nature of the pestilence ; some think it the yel-
low fever, whilst others affirm that it is the
Guinea negro malady, or black vomit. Some
regard •it as a stationary malignant fever. The
five French physicians arrived at Perpignan on
the Bth inst., and set off again on the following
day for Barcelona.
