FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCT. 2.-A great number of commer-
cial letters, and our private ‘corirespoutience of
the 27th of September, say, that ♦essels coming
from Spain, and suspected of contagion, flock
into the parts of Marseilles, Frious, Battonneau,
and Pomegues, which afford them safe and healthy
krbours,- and are the most convenient places of

resort, because they are no longer received into
any of the ports of Italy, and dread those of Ca-
talonia. On the 23d ult. a man
,w•ho had been

employed in the Lazaretto in removing infected
goods, and who was allowed to leave it after
hAving performed the customary crutrantine, fell
sick ; 7 his 'family sent for a physician, • 'Who
thought the disorder manifested symptoms of
the yellow fever, and immediately informed
the authorities of it. The sarne .night this

man. was removed to the. Lazaretto,„ as well
as tilt of his comrades, who had been employed
on the same works with him and were then in the
town, without, however, being ill. The house
-which he occupied was placed under the charge
of the officers of the police, and, as a measure of
further precaution, the. Commission 'of Health
caused all its inbabitantisto be removed in the
night,to the Lazaretto. This event, which could
not •be kept• secret, has caused considerable
alarm : it is affirmed, however, "that all the
"nen in the tazaretto are convalescent, and
that the man who was removed from Mar-
sei-lles is not afflicted with the yellow fever,
hut with a malady which does not proceed either
from the work on which he was employed or
from the merchandize which he touched. It is
hoped ,that the temperate season which is now

beginning will destroy among us the poisonous
germs of a malady more cruel than the plague,
since the utmost prudence cannot guard us from
it.—(Journal des Debuts.)
The last letters from Perpignan give the conso-
latory news that from Barcelona to the French
frontiers no symptom of contagion has manifested
itself.

Two Officers of high rank have left Toulouse,
to take the commands of the Sanitary Cordons.
established on .the frontiers of the department of
th-e Arriege and the upper Garonne.
The Sanitary Cordons, which the two companies
of the Swiss regiment of Steig,ner are gone to re-
inforce, exercise the greatest surveillance-on the
frontiers of Catalonia. The troops constantly
bivonaque a's if they were in presence of an
enemy.

We read in the Caduc&., a Marseilles Jour-
nal, of the 25th of September, that the extraor-
dinary but prudent measures taken by the Ad-
ministration of Health to prevent the introduc-
tion of the yellow fever, consolatory as they are
to sensible men, have in some degree intimidated
the weak : it is our duty, through the me-
dium of our columns, to destroy the effects
wl-'ch may be produced by a false alarm.—
The scourge of the
,yellow fem./. is not among us.
The paternal solicitude of the Administration
of Health acts prudently in treating as such every
malady, the character of which bears some ana-
logy to the scourge which we dread. Foreigners
ought to receive with doubt all accounts which
may inspire them with fears respecting o-n' state
of health.—(Jounzal cle Paris.)
A private letter from 13arcelona of the 19th
Sept., says, that the yellow fever has not made as
great ravages in that town as at Earcelonetta and

Tortosa.

Other accounts from Catalonia give the". most
affecting details. It is asserted that at• Barcelona,
after the departure of the Constituted Authorities,
the populace no longer set any bounds to their
license, and that the,.unhappy inhabitants of. this
town have been plundered by their fellow-citi-
zens. It is likewise reported, that a great por-
tion.of the population had forced the cordon of
troops which surrounded the town, and have (Es.-
persed themselves throughout the-whole of Cata.;
lonia,,every part of which seems now infected.

A.Spanish Chebec arrived on the 17th of last
month off the shore of Banyuls, the crew of whirh,
consisting of 30 'men, attempted to land, but,th4
measure was-strongly opposed', agreeably to the
instructions contained in our sanitary regulations.
It appears that the attempt was, not given up
until these men perceived that preparations were.
making to-fire on them. They then requested
a supply of fresh beef, which was furnished them
by leaving it on the beach, and without any other
communication. The vessel afterwards put, out
to sea.—(Gazette de France.)
Sir Robert Wilson left Paris on Sunday to
return to London..
