Extract of a Letter from a Physician at New Orleans, to a

Gentleman in this town, dated September Is.

" The exact number of deaths daily I cannot
asrertain. It has been said to have been S 4 on
one day. I have seen six funerals within 'a few
itittittes-22 to 25 a day are common. The num-
ber of French who (lie now is said to be double
that of the Americans, about the proportion as re.
galdi the population. The population now is
probably about 12 or 15,000. Great numbers
have left."

The Bermuda Paper of Nov. 6, says, the wind
has prevailed for several days from the westward;
and the Island has been enveloped in a blueish
mist, with a strong smell of smoke.

promote that harmony will ever be the constant
object of my Administration.
" I do now, in his Majesty's name, prorogue

A Meeting of the Merchants was held yesterday
forenoon at the Commercial Rooms, to consider of
a letter addressed to them by Rear-Admiral Sir
Home PoPli AM, on the subject of the piratical
cruizers receiving men from this port, and re-
questing their co-operation to suppress the same.
JOHN MILLER, Esq. was called to the chair, who,
having read the letter, moved a Resolution for the
appointment of a Cormnittee to take into considera:
tion the most effectual means of co-operating with
the Admiral, which was agreed to, and a Commit-
tee appointed. He then moved another Resolu-
tion, returning thanks to the Rear-Admiral for
his exertions, in inducing the Vice-Roy of PA-
NAMA to reduce the heavy duties on British ma-
nufactured goods, which was also agreed toa The
Meeting then adjourned till Thursday forenogn
next, when the Committee would make their
Report.

It is particularly stated, that Lord COCHRANE
has instructions to search all British as well as
American vessels, either of War or Merchantmen,

for the purpose of discovering and seizing Spanish
property. It is added, that his Lordship intends
executing his orders %vith great rigidness towards

he Ametie,ths.

We learn that the inhabitants of Panama are
very anxious to encourage the trade this
Island, and openly express their surprise that
some protection is not granted them. They say,

that if Government will not spare a vessel of war,
the merchants connected with the Lima trade
might easily fit out an armed vessel to proceed
round Cape Horn, and transport their specie from
one port to another until it reached Panama, or
that seamen might he sent to the latter port to
equip a vessel for the purpose.
Accounts from a respectable source at Panama
state, that much agitation prevailed at that place
for the safety of Lima, and should the city fall
into the hands of the enemy, little doubt was en-
tertained that the isthmus would be given over to
the British for its protection.

General SAN M ARTIN, of the Independent ser

vice, had landed at Pocoa, about 100 leagues
south of Lima, with a force of between nine and
ten thousand men. It was supposed he would
march against that City, where they were ready
to oppose bins with 2500 Europeans and 6500
Militia, all fine men, and well devoted to the
cause of the Sovereign.
A Letter from Savannah, of the 30th Nov.,
men!ions, that of 102 Irishmen who arrived
there in one vessel, the last of September, not one
now survives. The total number of deaths in that
city, during the month of September, was com-
puted at 400.—(Halifax Paper, Dec. 20.)
Privateering, it seems, goes on swimmingly at
the port of Baltimore, in defiance of all the laws.
One privateer, which sailed from that port with
about 110 men, returned with less than a dozen.
There are now three shipping crews, and five laa%e
lately sailed.

It is said to be the intention of his present MA-
JEtsTY to retain in their places all the old Servants
of the late KING, as that venerable Father of his
People was well known to feel a peculiar interest
in their well-being: Whatever subordinate ap-
pointments are not thought necessary to be con-
tinued, will, however, be abolished, but the pos•
sessors are to have an adequate provision for life,
and on the destruction of their several habitations
for improvement of the Capital, or the removal
of inconveniences, a suitable compensation is to
he made to render their old age comfortable.
This intention on the p rt of the new MMisreh

proceeds from a conformity to the avowed
position of the la;e. King, to that sense of filid
duty which' determined him to retain the presen

well as to hat bt!uignant impttl '.
