usually made in Jamaica, that a season of unusual
Mortality among the troops has almost invariably.
been succeeded by one of health, which, thank God,
has been verified up to the present date, as the cases
of fever have been extremely rare, and the few that
.have occurred have not been of thatmalignant and
fatal nature which distinguished thoie of 1825 and
1827. At Port Royal, where the number of troops
stationed amount to fully 300, exclusive of women
and children;there is not on this day one single case
of fever in the hospital, and we may truly assert
that there are few exceptions to this .happy state
Of affairs at the other quarters in the island. The
