YELLOW FEVER.

REPORT OF THE INTENDANTS OF THE PUBLIC

HEALTH AT MARSEILLES TO HIS BRITANNIC

MAJESTY'S CONSUL IN THAT PORT.
MARSEILLES, OCT. 9, 1821.
• Sin—The information which our Board has rendered public,
up to the present time, has all concurred to dispel alarm as to
the results of the cases of yellow fever Which have appeared at
the Port of Pornegue.
The new occurrences, of which it is now, our duty to apprise
you, will further prove, that if, under existing circumstances,
the public health has been exposed to some risk, the very severe
precautions and the very prompt and energetic measures which
have been adopted, have removed every reason for apprehen-
sion, at the very instant even when such apprehension might
have been entertained. ,
The man named Lamproye, who on coming out of quaran-
tine was attacked with a fever, of which the symptoms were
such as, at the present period, to cause some suspicion, was re-
moved into the Lazaret on the 24th Sept., as well as all those
persons who had immediately communicated with him. Our
Circular of the 27th Sept. has already informed you of this oc-
currence. We have now to acquaint you, that this man is re-
covered, and that he would have already returned to his home,
bad he been more obedient to the orders of the Physicians, and
not prolonged, by certain "imprudences, the period of his conva-
lescence. His wife, who was with him in the Lazaret, his
quarantine guardian, and, in short, the whole of the persons
who were put in quarantine in consequence of this accident, and
who were thirty-six in number, have all remained in perfect
health ; and consequently every thirig tends to convince us, that
the disease of aliproye was only one of an ordinary nature ;
and that the precautions which it occasioned, although justified
by the rules of prudence, have had no other purpose to an-
swer but that of satisfying and entirely tranquillizing the public
mind.
Front the infected vessels at Pom4gue, there have been sent
to the Lazaret since the 24th; six sick, whereof four are dead
and two perfectly recovered.
Since the 4th instant, no sick have been sent to the Lazaret
from Pom6g,ue, and, according to the daily reports made to us,
the crews which remain there, as well as at Endoume and
Frioul, are in the most satisfactory state.
It is to be observed, that the person placed to attend the sick
in the Lazaret, and who have been in continual and immediate
communication with them, have constantly enjoyed perfet
health.
The Danish galliot, Amphitrite, Benjamin Fold, Master,
which sailed from Malaga in the night of the 19th and 20th of
SepteMber, in ballast, with a crew of six men, including the
Captain, was driven on shore near Seon in the night of the 6th
to the 7th of October. Two of the crew had died of the yellow
fever in 'the passage, and the corpse of one of them was still on
board the vessel at the time of her striking; of the four remain-
ing, two were ill ; and the working of the ship was left to the
Captain alone, with one boy. In this wretched state, the vessel
could not resist the violence of a gust of wind from the N.W.,
and was driven on shore.
The Officers of the Customs instantly surrounded her, and
rendered all`cdmmunication with her impossible. The vessel
was, morover; separated from the land by an arm of the sea,
which prevented approach. Two Commissioners from our
Board repaired to the spot, and on seeing the impossibility of
raising and repairing the vessel without the aid of numerous
hands, which Li the existing circumstances could not be allow-
ed, orders were given to burn her, a decision of which the Cap-
tain himself admitted the necessity, and which was executed in
the presence of the Chargé d'Affaires of the Danish Consul.
The corpse was conveyed to the Lazaret to be interred, with
the usual precautions ' • the two sick, and the two in health,
were likewise removed thither; one of the former may be con-
sidered as entirely recovered, and the case of the other exhibits
no danger. -
Such is the actual situation of our Health Establishments,
there is in them at present only one convalescent, and no sick.
`With regard to the town, the public health in it has never
ceased to be in. the most satisfactory state; and we venture to
flatter ourselves, that the assurance we give you of this fact,
will entirely dispel any new rumours of alarm which may pos-
sibly have reached your ears.
We have the honour to salute you with perfect consideration,

N.B. Pomegue is an uninhabited island, distant about half a
mile from the entrance of the harbour, where vessels arriving
from suspected places, or with foul bills of health, lie out their
quarantine. The crew remain on board, or land occasionally
under the supervision of the health officers, and in any case of
illness occurring there, the patient is immediately removed to
the Lazaret.

RADICAL MEETING.--' Dr. WATSON'S adjourned
Meeting took place last night, at the Paul's
Head, Cateaton-street. On Dr. WATSON being
called to the Chair, he made a long speech of one
hour and a quarter, and concluded by reading a
string of Resolutions (seven in number) for the
adoption of the Meeting. On the second reso-
lution being moved and seconded by Messrs.
WADDINGTON and WALKER, a person attempted
to address the Meeting in opposition to it, but lie
was overpowered by the combined attack of the
Gentlemen present, and was thrice driven from
the room; the uproar at last became so general,
that Leadbeater, one of the Sheriff's Officers,
and others, were obliged to interfere, and the
Doctor past the rest of his resolutions amidst the
discordant sounds of the tumultuary assemblage,
which obliged every person of decent appear-
ance to retire.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 20.-7(The Sixteenth of
August.)—The-Radicals are determined to bring
again.before the public the events at Manchester
on this memorable day. After having been frus-
trated so long since in all their futile attempts to
institute criminal proceedings against the mili-
tary and others employed on that day, they have
'at length suddenly burst out again and com-
menced a civil action. Writs for assaults have
been served upon Major Birly, Captain "Wittling-
tonl, Mr. Alexander Oliver, and Meagher, the
trumpeter, all of the Manchester. Yeomanry.
The plaintiff is one Johnson ; he is not the noted
Joseph Johnson who was" convicted with Hunt;
he has travelled some distance for an uttorney.
The one named in the writs is a Mr. Heyward,
of Took's-court, London. If the plaintiff should
proceed in his actions, they will come on for
trial at the Lancaster Assizes in March next.
The Radicals of Bolton and its neighbourhood have resolved
to present HUNT with a white Counterpane, highly worked,
and.bearing the following mcription and devices
To Henry Hunt, Esq.
The undaunted defender of Liberty,
And the exposer of Ilchester Bastile.

On Peterloci's fOul day ;
This humble tribute long shall tell,
That justice lost her sway.

IND.' A.

We have been favoured by a Gentleman just
returned from India, who has resided in that
Country many years,
.with the following Sketch
of the Aboriginal inhabitants of Indio:—
" In general, the Hindoos have the forehead small, the face
thinner and more meagre than the Europeans ; and they are
also very much inferior to them in strength and other physical
qualities. They are lean, feeble, and incapable of supporting
the labours and fatigues which the other races are habituated to.
The Brahmins, in particiilar, scarcely ever attempt any labo-
rious efforts of the body : and when they do, it is but momen-
tary. This feebleness is, no doubt, occasioned by the nature
of the climate, as well as by the quality of the food to which
the greater number of Hindoos are restricted. In general, they
eat nothing but seeds, or such humid matters ; for, though
most of them cultivate rice, which appears to be a production
of nature in file ctigliest' degree suited to the use of man, arty
well-adapted to sustain his vigour,, the mass of the people do
not use it for theie ordinary tare. They are obliged to sell it,
to get what is necessary for paying their taxes, to procure
clothes, and supply their other domestic wants. After dispos-
ing of this crop of rice, they nourish themselves, fOr the rest
of the year, in the best way they are able, upon the various
sorts of small seeds, similar to what are given in Europe to
pigs or chickens ; and it were to be wished that every Hindoo
had even this sorry fare at his command.

" The same debility and tendency to degenerate, which is
so visible in the Hindoos themselves, appear to involve all ani-
mal existence in that country, from the plant up to the human
species. The grass, vegetables, and fruits, ire all sapless ; at
least, the greater part are devoid of the nourishing qualities
inherent in the same productions of nature in other countries.

" The domestic and wild animals, with the cxcepti:on of the
elephant and the tiger, are there fund in a 'degraded state,
both as to native vigour and nutritive properties. "All eatable
things, of the most succulent nature elsewhere; are insipid here.
Nature seems in this region, to hare fashioned all her produc-
tions, animate or inanimate, on a scale proportioned to' the
feebleness of the people.

- " The imbecility of the mind keeps pace with: that of the
body. There is no country, I believe, where one meets with
so many stupid or silly creatures;' and although in India there
are to be found' numbers of persons of good sense and moderate
talents, and even some who, by means of a good education,
have distinguished themselves advantageously amongst their
countrymen, yet I think it very doubtful whether, during the
three centuries in-which the Europeans have been settled in
the country, they have ever discovered among them one. true
genius.

"What they are in pointiof courage, is well known ; their
natural cowardice being every where proverbial.
" Neither have they sufficient firmness of mind to resist
any application that may be made to them on their weak side,
Praise and flattery will iiiduce them to part with any thing they
