THE FEVER AT GIBRALTAR.

(From the John Bull.)
We have received fl'om Gibraltar a detailed state-
ment of the cases of fever which have-occurred in
the military department of that place, which has not
yet been- submitted to the public, but which cannot
fail of being highly interesting to the-relations and
friends of those whose names are either included in
the melancholy list, or not to be found in-it.

meats—they are trifles to this accumulation, the
consequence of which must be terrific—the cause of
this increase is attributed to a system called " Real
Valloon," under which, permissions for residence are
granted for the consideration qf one dollar and a
/IV; paid to the Town Major, to persons of all
nations and persuasions, they being afterwards liable
to a tax of half a dollar per mensem ! it is stated
to. us, that this large revenue finds its way into the
pocket of the officer granting the permission; but we
cannot but believe, if the system actually exists, that
the Government itself must derive the benefit from
such permissions for residence, which putting them
at 25,000 since the year 1782, would have produced,
besides the first payment of 37,500 dollars, a monthly
revenue of 12,500 dollars, .or 150,000 dollars
per annum, which, again, taking the dollar at
Is. 6d. would produce 33,7501. sterling, a sum by
which the expenses of the establishment, exclusive
of troops, might, we presume, be entirely paid. A
pretty just idea of the state of Gibraltar may be as-
certained from the fact that in consequence of nu-
merous persons having died on board ships in
the bay, to which they had fled for safety, an
order has been issued prohibiting fishing—it
being imagined that the fish may have be-
come contaminated by feeding on the bodies
which havo been cast into the sea from the vessels.
It seems pretty clear, from all we can see of the
matter, that, whether the subsequent treatment of
the fever was or was not judicious, is originated in
the denseness of the population : the dreadful fact
is, that nearly a thousand persons have already fal-
len victims to the malady a recurrence of which may
always be dreaded while the population. continues
so numerous, and the extermination of which, may
not be reckoned upon, so long as the design of en-
camping the sick upon a swamp is persisted in.
