ALICANT, OCT. 24.—The sielgiess is growing
worse and worse at Cariltagetia, ,where the number
of deaths now amounCto between eighty and eighty-
five a day.

" Gibraltar Bay, Oft. 29.
<<SlR—After carefully observing the symptoms
and progress:pf the fever that lately, raged here, and
comparing it with the accounts of the malignant
yellow fever thal prevails in the West Indies, I am
clearly of opinion, that it exactly the same'''dis-
ease. In its symptoms and character it almost ac-
curately corresponded with the description of that
disease given by Moseley on West li,dia Diseases.—
In the first or inflammatory stage, the most re-
markable and frequent symptoms were a very se-
vere pain in the tore part of the En:ad, sometimes
shooting to, the hind part ; eyes red ; face flushed
and turgid ; pulse frequent, full and strong ;
skin very hot ;• these symptoms generally preceded
by and attended with co,tiveness—l have not seen
any pain or uneasiness of the stomach at this period.
After two or three days, these symptoms are all
much abated, and there is apparent relief ; but it is
soon followed by more distressing and unmanageable
ones.

"Themcomes on a sense of uneasiness, and some-
times very smart
,pain, at the pit of the stomach,
soon attended with a vomiting, at first of the usual
contents of the stomach, but afterwards of a dirty
dark brown or black matter, sometimes almost like
black muddy ditch water. There were frequently,
also, constant-purging of the same kind of matter,
but sometimes of ditfereht consistence, and not so
watery as that thrown np. These alarming- symp-
toms admitted of but little relief, .and, when vio-
lent, sometimes carried off the unfortunate sufterer
in twenty-four hours from their commencement;
at other times less severe and more lingering in their
course : in a few cases the hiccough was very Iron-
blesoine. One man who; I understood, had been
along time ill, whose case I '.:new nothing or, as
he was speechless when first I saw hitn, lay tr,bet-
ter than two days in,almost constant convulsions be-
fore he expired. A short time previoUs to death,
the yellowness appears about the eyes and spreads
over the body ; about the same time hemorrhages,
,have occurred.

" Camp, November I.
" Sir—Having been above two years in the West
Indies, as Surgeon in the Gist regiment, during
which time I had an opportunitr of seeing much of
the Bulam, or Yellow Fever, so .well described by
Doctor Chisholm, I am clearly of opinion,.that the
fever which has now made ►ts appearance in the 7th
Royal Veteran Battalion, is the vine disease; that
it is highly contagious, and that the measures which
have been adopted to prevent its spreading were
absolutely necessary ; a convincing- proof of. which
is, that all the men who have died came out of the
same barrack,.

" I have the honour, &c.

4g W. l'ym, Esq. &c. &c. Surgeon 7th R.V. Battalion.',
Mr. Wafters, Assistant Surgeon, concurs in 'the
same opinion.

" GIARALTAR, Nov. 2.—The Board of Health
established by his,Ekcellencv the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, alien receiving the Reports of the Medical
Gentlemen of this garrison, are happy in having it
in their power to state, that the fever, which, ac-
cording to the said Reports, did exist, is diminished
in its influence and that, except in the Lazaretto,
there are now no cases existing on shore ; and that
only three cases have occurred in the Bay since the
last Report.

a GIBRALTAR, Nov. 3.—/n addition to the cases
of fever which were sent to the Lazaret en the even-
ing of the 26th of
_last month, several soldiers with
the same disease in the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion,
were reported to Dr. Pyrniou the 28 Ifi, two of whom
died in the Regimental Hospital, which is situated
within the sentinels fornnng a cordon around the
intealed tlistri6t in the South, in consequence of
which, the same precautions which had been taken
before, were immediately had recourse to, and, on
the same evening, the whole of the Hospital esta-
blishments were encamped on the Lazaret ground.
Several eases were also reported in the bairacks of
the same regiment; on which account it was
thought necessary, with a view of putting a stop to
the disease, to keep the whole regiment in quaran-
tine. Preparations were immediately made, and
the Battalion, with all the women and children,
marched from the Barracks into carry on the Neutral
Ground, on the evening of the 29th. The greatest
hopes are entertained of its having the desired
effect. The regiment has only lost six men from
this disease ; and it is worthy of remark, ihat
they were all taken ill in the barrack-room.
" The Board of Health which has been established
in the Garrison last night made a Report to his Ex-
cellency the Lieutenant-Governor of which we sub-
join a copy, together with several other reports or
letters relative to the symptoms of the disease on
board the transports, and in the Lazaret, and to the
state of the pubiie health in Cadiz and Carthagena.

EXTRACT FROM SIR JAMES FELLOWES' REPORT UP-

ON THE DISEASE AT CADIZ.

" From all the information I have been able to
obtain from the Spanish practitioners of eminent e
here, from the documents which have been present-
ed to me by the Junta, and from my own personal
observation in the public hospital of this city, I can-
not doubt the ex,s'ence of
_a disease of a dang,.rous
na.ure in certain parts of this town. I hate this,
night recommended to the Board, that, as the dan-
ger to be apprehended from the disease spre:lding,
arises from the number of persons collected together
in close and ill-aired apartments, the utmost vigi-
!kite at.d authority must be used to separate the sick
imm,!didtely, 'where it can be done, and to remove •
thrill to the public Hospital. I have great sa:isfac-
tion in mentionits, that, hi my Itt.port to Lieute-

Esq. His Majesty's Consul General at Cadiz, Muted Cadiz,
Nov. 1, :

" Sir—l have the honour to acquaint yon, that
the Reports which have been sent to the Board of
Health during the last week have bgen 4 a very
favourable- nature, and ccnfirm the opinion 'which
is generally entertained here of -the improving state
of the public health: There .lame been but few
fresh cases obse'rved in the town, and the number
of deaths are diminished. _On the Bth instant: there
were 19 burials, on the 9th twenty, and yesterday

GIBRALTAR, NOV. B.—The fever is now almost
completely extit p:ited; there being no symptom of
the disease in the garrison, and only.. three or four
cases in the Lazaret ettdblished outside of the walk.
Tire crews of the tran,ports in the Bsy also, which
brought the disease from Carthagena originally, have
mostly 'got rid of s the disease. Our latest accounts
from Catalonia are extremely favonratAe..: The
French armes are greatly reduced from daily skir-
mishes, and desertion whilst the force of the Spaniards
is rapidly, increasing."

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at ti e

immediately stood after her, and on boarding, found
it was tne Nancy, front Shoreham, bound to Tt.urso,
the Master etineeivtng himself well over to the
English shore, and the land in 4ight he took for the
English coast.—Had ri;t the Beagle falien in with
the Nancy, she would have rein into the 84.), of
Boulogne, where twelve privateers were at the time

A private letter received by the Anholt Mail,

tween Russia and the. Ottoman Porte; but this re-
port s oncontiriped by any official advice.

AN ATTF.mpT AT SUIcIDE.—On Sunday hst,
about two o'clock, a person of decent appearance
went into the shop of Mr. Stringer, in Bell-Court,
Gray's-inn-lane, and requested to be shaved, velieih
being complied with, he immediately after seized
one of the razors lying in the shop, and was in the.
act of cutting his throat, when he was discovered
by Mr. Stringer, who being a resolute man,- with
much difficulty and great [lizard, wrenched the
razor from him, but not until he had made an in,
cision nearly three inches in length, but f.irtu
nately missed the windpipe. He bled pro-
fusely. No
,cause could be assigned: for the rash-
ness of the attempt, not could any inform !tion of
his abode he obtained, being removed by an acquaint-
ance, who accompaniej him to the dour.
About one o'clock on the morning of the 23d
inst. the cotton mill of Robson and Co. at Weary-
holm, near Carlisle, was discovered to be on fire,
and in the space of an hour was one continued
blaze. From the fury and rapidity of the flames nu,
assistance could be afforded, and, except a horse
kept in a. stable under the premises, nothing was
saved—stock in trade, machinery, and building,
were.all involved in one common ruin. The pro-
perty war, insured, but not nearly to the amount
On Monday night or Tuesday morning the shop
of Mr. Jones, grocer, in Long-lane, was broke tip,-,r
and robbed of a considerable quantity of tea and
sugar, and other articles, IA ith which the villains,
who must have had a cart !la waiting, got tar coif.
