DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

[MORNING POST.]
Letters to a late date were received. in town
yesterday from Cadiz-, Gibraltar, and .Smyrna.
The former contain most afflicting intelligence of
the progress of the yellow fever. The hopes en-
tertained of its being checked, if not altogether
removed, by the autumnal change. in the tempo-
rature, had been unfortunately disappointed.
Not only did the malady rage with unabated
violence in the infected places, but notwithstand-
ing the. precautions taken-in every town, district
after district became the seat of desolation and
death. _Even Cadiz, which had so long main.
tained the health of its inhabitants unimpaired,
through the vigilant care of the Public Authori-
ties, now at last finds the_ pestilence within its
bosom; How it penetrated within its wallshad not -been ascertained, but, as only a feW
individuals ' had 'been attacked, it was hoped
that excessive attention, - and the exertions
of the Medical: Boards, would be sufficient to
arrest its progress: . The invisible.scourge, how-
ever, seemed to " walk on tlie -wings of the wind,"
'known indeed by the desolation which darkened
the..earth in. its track, but heralded only by the
serenity of smiling Heavens. At St. Mary's, the
population of which is comparatively inconsider-
able, the disorder seemed to have gained fresh
strength. On the three last days, ending on the
20th ult. 35 persons had-died, and 180 were still
'attacked. During the same period at Xerez,,six
,persons had died, and 26 remained ill of the
fever. At Lebrija, from the. 13th to the 20th
ult. 19 persons died; and the cases remaining
were .46. At St. Lucar de Barrameda, from the
14th to the 20th ult: there were. five deaths and
several new cases'. At Barcelona, But cefonetta,
and Mequinenza;.the fever still--raged violently,
though at the two former places some relief was still
expected from an alteration in theweatber: The G-
overnor of the latter place died on'the 9th ult.. The
contagion had declared itself at Aguilar, in the
province of Murcia, and at Triaba, on the bor-
ders of Seville.. In consequence of the situation
of .Port St. Mary's, no ship, persons, or goods,
from any point in the Bay of Cadiz were hence-
forth to be admitted into 'Portugal, and those
coming from the other ports of Spain, between
Gibraltar and Ayamonte, were not to be admit-
ted-any where else than at Lisbon, subject even
to 30 days quarantine.. The letters from Smyrna
contain nothing new., •

• The accounts from the East :continue, to- speak
of the improbability.of a war bet ween Russia and
Turkey, but we find. that the Porte does not relax
in its exertions to give to its military force an im-
posing. appearance. The. cause of Grecian liberty
is spoken of in terms which would almost make us
despair of ever Seeing the cradle of science cease
to be the den of ignorance and barbarisni. That
Russia should be i..different to the results of the
present struggle in the southern provinces ought
not to surprise us, who find even. in the politer
countries of Europe a willingness to sacrifice Greece
to certain, vain and imaginary notions of political
expediency ; neither ought we to regret it, for if
Greece deserve to be free, she must look to the
liearts and arms of-her own sons for regaining her
rank in the scale of, nations.. It is distressing to
learn that Athens, which so lately_ was. freed from
the debasing presence of the Tur)(s, should be
.again restored. to their authority, having been de-
serted by the Greeks. How yainly .do tie mo
dern Greeks, in ther pompous, addresses to fo-
reign nations, recal the memory of the- mighty
names who grace the story of.their country ~

[NEW TIMES.]

Letters from -Odessa to the pa ult. were received
in town yesterday morning. They are entirely des-
titute of all political information, but they supply
some intelligence of high importance.to the com-
mercial world. The following is. an. extract of. a
letter• received by an eminent mercantile. house :
-44 We have. great satisfaction in being-able to
acquaintion, that this.placeovhich was So lately
deprived of its privileges, has been again restored
to all its rights as a free port. It is but a short
time since that the. memorial, which . was for.
warded by the merchants of this place . to: the
Emperor, met with unqualified rejection, on the
ground that extensive-smuggling had been car.
ried on, to the-great.lniury of the revenue, and
the total:. destructio.n of all fair. trade, After
this decision, little hopes were entertained that
any subsequent effort, would. prove successfpl ;
but we aro happy to say, that through
,the
combined e.ttl and • assiduity of the principal
merchants, our earnest wishes have been .ac-
ceded to. Tjie arguments. ip support of our
memorial were so strongly urged, and so power-
fully supported, that the Emperor, on...reviewing
the case, felt
.convinced of the injustice and. un-
truth,of .the ;statements which ,had been laid
before him, and -immediately issued ,a .-fresh
Ikkase, restoring .Odessa to its former privilege.
Woiness has•been.very .brisk for some time- past,
and we need hardly assure you that this snews
has given a fresh impeus to its it must' prove
highly beneficial to' the merchants here, and will,

no doubt, have a corresponds 4 effect on your
side of the water."--The accounts from. Constan-
tinoPle are to the 10th. Up to that period the
city remained in a state of comparative• tranquil-
lity, with the exception only of some occasional
ebullitions on the part of the populace, which
were created merely by a desire to gratify some
private pique or revenge ; having.no reference
whatever to the question. at issue between the
Greeks and the Turks.

• [MORNING HERALD.]
• We inserted, a few days since, in•the•Asence
of more important matter, an octract of rtrecent
French publication, professing to- contaiie-some
anecdotes of the behaviour. of *Buonaparte duiing
his last illness. I t never ()Centred to us-at 7 the
moment that we were starting game which should
be too keenly hunted by our contemporaries.
The author of the- anecdotes, whoever he be,
touched the Ex-Emperor in the gentlest manner.
Nothing indeed could be more sentimental than
the traits of behaviour and expression ascribed
to the great captive at the approach of his last
moments. The chief object of the writer seemed-
to be.to scatter flowers on his tomb. It was not
without some surprise that we observed in a Morn-
ing. where it might least be expected; the
panegyristoftheEx-Emperor pronounced a falsi Ger
and fabricator. We-never said, or suppoSed they
were authentic. Indeed we. concurred, to- a con-
siderable extent, in the opinion of ourcontem--
porary„ and for. very good reasons. • A. great.
portion of the book consisted of variobs letters
and other communications, which had been_ pub-
lished or Praised in. that very Paper, including
the . therapeutics of "Mr. Barry O'Meara, A
writer in another Morning -Paper, whb professes
to have been an 4i- eye-witness," and :who cer,
tainly a very ill-natured and defamatory kind of
person, not content With.denying the correctness
of the anecdotes, declares that the Ex-Emperor
not only never" played the piano," or " filled
his pocket with sweetmeats for • a favourite
child," brit employed his • leisure •" in shooting
wild cats." • The first assailant now turns round;
and generously defends what at first. it stigma-
tized as a fabrication ; and, lastly,. that' 'erudite.
person, Mr. Barry O'Meara, has come forward to
.vouch,-if not for the correctness of the anecdotes,
at least for" their characteristic probability.; and.
to tell the world the important fact, that Buona.
parte had " an ear for trinsic,":• We 'dare say the
controversy is not yet closed.. •• , • •

,Friday morning-\Vind!ior and •the neighbour-

.by. one -of the heaviest. storms
of rain ever. remembered by,. the oldest, inhabi-
tant. The. :watery torreAts., dtsoml4d

.frorn. eleven
o'clock. All the low grounds are inundated.
The land flood, from the forests came. so rapidly
into the Shept-streetrroad and the adjoining men_
dows, that --horses • and .other aninials were with
diffiCulty saved, and any sheep that. may have
been, out must'have been washed away. The
storm extended many miles round the neigh.
bourhood.
